Demorealic; atm FARM NOTES. —What a great many persons overlook, but which is more important in churning than any other portion of the work, is to note the temperature from time to time. By so doing there will be a saving of labor, as churning is prolonged when the tem- perature is too high or too low. —We judge of a farmer by his farm, and of a farm by what we see in passing it, says a contemporary. If all is neat and tidy, fences and out-buildings as well as dwelling house in good repair ; if tools, wagons and machinery are housed and painted, and animals sleek and contented, we are satisfied the owner is a good farmer and is prosperous. —Dehorning cattle is now practiced ex- tensively, but there is a right time for so doing. The horns should never be remov- ed when flies and insects are troublesome, and the instrument should be scrupulously clean. Late in the fall is an excellent time for the operation, and it is better to experiment with a few instead of dehorn- ing the entire herd. Novices can have the operation performed by a veterinary sur- geon, if preferred. —There is no poorer economy than in buying a poor harness because it is cheap. Well-tanned leather with due care will re- sist dampness, and will keep sound a long time. Harnesses should never be kept in the stable. There is too much ammonia in stables, which will quickly cause a harness to rot. When used in warm weather the harness should be cleaned often, and kept soft and flexible with oil. —Those who intend to keep any smoked hams and shoulders for next summer’s use, should use salt for packing. Itis more clean- ly, and better in every particular, than ashes or other articles commonly used. All that is necessary is to so place the meat that the pieces will not touch each other, covering well the top pieces. The salt will not be wasted, as it may he used over again, or taken to make brine. Hams packed in this way will not be musty or dirty on the outside, nor will they take any more salt than had been absorbed he- fore packing. —Always in saving lettuce seed choose that which has most leaves, and which has grown without interruption from the seed. The practice in many families is to pluck the leaves three or four times, and when at last the leaves begin to be tough, let the plant send up its seed stalks. Usually the largest crop of seed will come from the plant that has the fewest leaves. But it will not be worth planting. Grown for seed lettuce should be left without disturh- ing a leaf, each plant will produce very few seed. Yet seed from this nearly seedless lettuce is worth any amount of the seed which is produced in the usual way. —In preserving eggs for winter use, it must be understood that the whole secret is to keep the porous shell from admitting the air and moisture. If this can be done the eggs will keep for quitea length of time. A pickle first is made as follows : One bushel of fine quality stone lime, eight quarts of salt, and sixty gallons of water. Slake the lime well and then add the water and the salt, stirring well until all is set- tled and cold. Draw off the clear brine into a water-tight cask and then put the | eggs in as soon as taken from the nest. When a layer of eggs about a foot deep is put in, a little of the milky brine, made by stirring up some of the very light lime particles, should be allowed to settle over them. Then put in a similar layer and repeat the operation. Fill the barrel with eggs within four or five inches of the top and then cover with a factory cloth ; on top of this cloth spread a layer of lime that settled in making the pickle. The pickle must be kept above this lime to keep it cool and moist. If the eggs are to be sent to market they should be taken out of the brine carefully, and after being thor- oughly wiped, pack away neatly. They must not be allowed to get too warm in summer time, nor too cold in the winter. An equable degree of modern warmth is best. —**Our colts are taught to drink new milk from the cow when they are but a few days old. After they learn to drink this freely a little branis added, and it is not long till they will take to a bran mash like an old horse. They learn to eat dry feed from the manager with their mothers, and after this there are at anything, bran, oats, oilmeal and clover are kept where they can help themselves, sometimes one, sometimes the other, in order that they may not tire of either the colts are weaned at 4 or 5 months, and if we bave plenty of cow’s milk we much prefer the earlier period, as the colts learn to be in a measure self de- pendent hefore cold weather comes. When they are weaned, there is no sudden change or trouble in getting them to take todry feed, for they are already used to it, and as they have been taught to drink milk from a bucket there is no trouble there. We find it much more profitable to feed our skim milk to the colts than to put it into 2 or 3 cent beef or 4 cent pork.’ “I don’t know how many fail or how many succeed in raising colts by hand, but the pride of our colt family one season was raised this way. Its mother had distemper so badly that we knew the colt would die if not weaned. As it was the most val- uable both by breeding and individuality of anything on the farm we did not want to lose it. The first week it was fed fresh cow’s milk, all it wanted, every three hours, to which had been added one-fourth water and one spoonful of sugar. The next week the water was left out, and the third week we began to use a little oil- meal gruel. The gruel was made by pour- ing boiling water over the oilmeal, letting it stand three or four hours. The amount of meal used at first was but a few spoon- fuls per day, but was increased until one pint per day was given.’’ ‘I do not know how much of this ‘‘fuss’’ was unnecessary, but I do know that this |. colt was the best one in a ring of eight at our county fair as a weanling and took first money as a yearling at the World’s Fair. After the other colts were weaned this one was put in the lot with them and now receives the same care and feed as the others do. A growing colt needs to be fed heavier than a mature horse, and in some particulars the feed needs to be varied from the bill of fare that is .given to older horses. Our winter ration is made up of clover hay, corn fodder, oats, oilmeal, bran and all the milk that can be spared. When we do not have the oats the bran and oilmeal ration is increased and makes a most excellent substitute.’ ? Medical. Medical. (ou LD NOT EAT. A Woman's Strong Constitution Wrecked. Effects of a Treacherous Dis- case. A Wonderful Case. From the Bulleti Mrs. Stephen Robbins is the wife of a prominent farmer living on a large and well-kept plantation just at the edge of Monroe, La. They have re- sided in this community, but two years, having moved here from Illinois. The change was made for the benefit ot Mrs. Robbins’ health, her physi- cians having advised her that it was the only hope of her regaining her lost health. “Three years this last winter,” said Mrs. Rob- bins, “I was very sick with that most treacherous disease, the grip. Ihad a very time with it, but was able to get out after being confined to my home several weeks. Tthink I went out too soon, for I immediately contracted a cold and had a’ relapse, which is a common occurrence with that disease. For several more weeks I was confined to the house ; and after this I did not fully recover un- til recently. Iwas able to get out again, but I was quite a different woman. “My former strong constitution was wrecked, and Iwas a dwindling mass of skin and bones. My blood was thin and I had grown pale and sal- low. My lungs were so effected that I was going into consumption. During my illness I had lost thirty pounds in weight. I tried to regain my strength and former good health by trying differ- ent medicines and physicians’ but nothing seem- ed to help me. My appetite was gone, and,when I ate the food it would not stay on my stomach. “The only thing my physicians said for me to do was to take a change of climate, and on his ad- vice I came here. At first I seemed benefitted, but to my sorrow it proved to be only temporary, and in afew months I was in my former condition. The color had left my cheeks, I had no energy, and life was a misery. 1 had become a burden to myselfand family. Finally I read in a newspaper of how Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People had effected a miraculous cure with the same | public in and for the Parish of Winn, State of n, Monroe, La. disease which a neighbor of mine had in Illinois “On the strength of this testimonial T decided at once to give the medicine a trial. I accordingly sent for a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and gave the pills a thorough trial. I did not notice any change till I had tried the second box. TI was discouraged a little with the result of the first box, but knowing that I should not ex- pect such a sudden cure of such a chronic case as mine, I tried the second box with the result that I immediately began getting better. I used five boxes of these pills and was completely cured, as you see me to-day, weighing more than ever be- fore.” As evidence of the truthfulness of her story Mrs. Robbins volunteered to make the following sworn statement : “I hereby affirm that the above statement is every word exact and true.” Mgrs.

E. Noll. I wish to thank you for the | prompt and business like manner that you and your company |. 4 have shown in the settlement of this claim. My brother was insured in March, 1897, and died the following s °| July, he had paid but $48.16 for which I am this day handed | $2,000.

De Of the thousands of subscribers to the DEMo- crATIc WATCHMAN there is a large percentage who are paying more than is really necessary for the paper. If your paper is paid for in advance it will cost you ONLY $1.50 PER ANNUM but if you leave the time slip bye without paying up 5octs. additional, or the old price of $2.00 per year, will be the cost of your negligence. In fairness to those subscribers who do pay in advance and have a right to expect some con- cession for so doing this rule will be strictly ad- hered to so that if you expect to take advantage of it there is but one way to do it. Pay your paper up to date and then you will be in a posi- tion to take advantage of the lower prices. Just think for a moment what neglect of this advice might amount to. Every three years you leave the opportunity pass you lose a whole year’s subscription. Any subscriber can tell the exact amount he must remit by looking at the label on his paper, taking that date and figuring even years up to whatever month it falls on in the current year and then adding $1.50 to pay a year in advance from that date. TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT IT. Probably you have some friends in other counties or other States who would like to have the WATCHMAN and do not know that they can get it for $1.50 a year. At this price itis the cheapest paper in the county, because it is the best and no letter that can be written to those who have scattered off to distant parts will prove half so entertaining and faithful in its accounts of what is happening here. Or DO YOU HAVE ANY SORT OF PRINT- ING DONE? If you do it will be to your advantage to re- member that we do printing of every kind and as cheaply as it can be done anywhere. All we ask is that you give us an opportunity to make an es- timate on your work. If you or any of your friends contemplate making sale next spring the WATCHMAN’S bills will be cheapest and best.
