A DOMESTIC INCIDENT. From the Observer. Flushing, Mich. "Early in November, 1894," nays Frqnk Long, who lives near Lennon, Mich., "on itarting to get up from the dinner table ( 1 •fas taken with a pain in my back. Tne pain increased, and I was obliged to take to my bed. The physician who was summoned pronounced my case muscular rheumatism accompanied by lumbago. He gave m» reme dies and injected morphine into iny trm to •ase the pain. "My disease gradually became worse until I thought that death would be welcome re lease from my sufferings. Besides m.v regu lar physician I also consulted another but he gave me no encouragement. 'iff On Getting Vd from the Tattle. "I was finally induced through reading •ome accounts in the newspapers regarding the wonderful cures wrought by Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, to try them. I took the pills according to direc tions and soon began to notice an improve ment in rav condition. Before the first box was used I could get about the house, and efter using five boxes, was entirely cured. "Since tnat time I have felt no return of the rheumatic pains. lam confident that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved my life and 1 try to induce iny friends who are sick to try the same remedy. I will gladly answer inquiries concerning mv sickness and won derful cure, provided stamp is enclosed for reply. "FRANK LONG." Sworn to before me at Venice, Mich., this 15th dav of April, 1898. G. B.

He is a young man whose unbounded as surance has ever been his chief character istic. When he proceeded to talk to the practical old gentleman about marrying his daughter he was evidently prepared for the usual question: "Do you think you ran support my daugh ter in the style to which she has been ac customed?" The parent spoke this phrase with the air of a man who thinks he has uttered a poser. The suitor looked him in the eye. "Let's talk this thing over," he said. "Do you think your daughter is qualified to make * man a good wife? ' "Yes, sir. Her mother and I are both practical people and we have given her a practical education. She can not only read Greek and play the piano—she practices three hours a day—but she can get a good dinner and make her purchases in market as intelligently as an experienced steward. Moreover, her abilities with the needle are not confined to fancy work. She's a treas ure. and we don't propose to have any mis understandings about her future." "You were asking me if I thought I could »upport her in the style to which she has teen accustomed." "I was." "Well, I could. But I don't propose to. After she marries me she's not going to practice three hours a day on anv piano nor cook dinners nor take back talk from market people. She's going to have all the sewing done outside of the house, read what she enjoys, whether it's Greek or Choctaw, and goto the matinee tw-iee a week. It's time that girl was beginning to have some good times in this life."—Washington Star.

Method of FnatriilnK Which Allows Much Freedom und Yet Cuntluea the Cow Secnrelf. The stall which, in my experience, has the greatest number of good points U a modification of the rigid stanchion. It is merely a small stanchion hung at top and bottom on small links of Strong chain. It is a Yankee inven tion and, like many others of the same kind, a good one. This method of fas tening allows much freedom to the cow and yet confines her enough to al low of use in large stables. There is no weight on the cow's neck; she can turn her head and lick herself as well as if in the pasture, and yet with all this freedom she keeps clean if prop erly bedded. And in all stalls there should be a partition between the cows. This ie y ♦ /L 112 \ >: MODEL COW STALL. best made of to lVg-inch surfaced lumber and should be four feet high at the highest point and extend two feet in front of the cows and from three to four feet behind the manger. The manger I like to have 18 inches wide at the bottom, 2% feet high and two feet wide at the top. Each stall should be from two feet eight inches to three feet six inches wide, depend ing somewhat on the size of the cows, We are building them three feet three inches for Jerseys and Guernseys. A covered gutter behind the cows is the neatest arrangement, but rathei expensive to putin and to maintain. It should be at least 18 inches wide awl deep, and covered with iron or wooden bars placed iy 2 or two inches apart. An open gutter not over four Itches deep and 18 inches wide in most cases gives the best satisfaction. The platforms on which the cows stand may vary in length from three feet ten inches to five feet, and it is general ly advisable to make it in varying lengths to accommodate large or small cows. A cement floor and a fight gutter is best and cheapest, but where the cows stand it should be planked. Water may be furnished in iron cups for every cow or two cows, or in a trough run ning in front on top of the manger.— Edwin C. Powell, in National Stock man. HOW TO DRESS CALVES. fly Follow in*; Theme InMtrnctloni Much Dinniipointmeiit n mi Money Cuu lie Saved. Calves from three to six weeks old and weighing about 100 pounds, or, pay, from 80 to 120 pounds, are the most desirable weight for shipment. The head should be cut out, so as to leave the hide of the head on the skin, says an exchange. The legs should be cut off at the knee joint. The en trails should all be removed except ing the kidneys and liver, which should not be taken out. Cut the carcass open from the neck through the entire length—form head to bumgut. If this is done they are not so apt to sour and spoil during hot weather. Many a fitu carcass has spoiled in hot weather be cause of its not being cut open. Don't wash the carcass out with water, bul wipe it out with a dry cloth. Don'l ship until the animal heat is entirelj out of the body, and never tie the car cass up in a bag, as this keeps the ail from circulating and makes the meal more liable to become tainted. Marlt for shipment by fastening a shipping tag to the hind leg. Calves under 5( pounds should not be shipped (0< pounds is the minimum weight in th< Chicago market), and are liable to b( condemned by the health officers as unfit for food. Merchants, too, an liable to be fined for violation of the law. \ ery heavy calves, such as have been fed on buttermilk, never sell well in our market—they are neither ve.a! nor beef. —IJural World. Good Milking In nn Art. Almost anybody can milk a cow, but there are few who can do it as it should be done. It is an art, and the man whe can do it properly is worth more to the dairyman than any other help. The art of milking is to draw it out stead ily, quickly (by no means hurriedly) and completely. Scarcely any twe cows are exactly alike in dispositioc and in the character or nature of theii teats and udder. Some are hard tc milk, and have very small apertures; some havi tender teats; some cows are very easy to milk, and some cows are dull, while others are lively and verj nervous. —Dakota Field and Farm.
