County his never witnessed a more strik

Cuiet oi this place.
Mr. Culet had spent a small fortune with
the best physicians in the county and in
addition to this he has tried every, medicine
he could hear of.
He had a very bad case of Rheumatism
and Kidney Trouble, from which he had
suffered for twenty years. Nothing he
could get seemed to uo him any good, and
he was gradually growing worse.
He has no liheuinatism now and explains
it thus:
"One day I happened to see an advertise
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills and decided tcj
try them.
"1 made up my mind to give them a good
fair trial, as my case was a_ very bad one
and was of over twenty years' standing.
"I used altogether 42 boxes and 1 can
truthfully sa) that they have driven out
every trace ef the Rheumatism.
"I feel like a new man.and 1 can and do
most heartily recommend Dodd's Kidney
Pills for Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble.'

COLORADO.
Summer Totirlntn' L«w Itnten.
Western lines are now announcing special
low rates to Colorado points for thei-uinmer
months. This presents a fine opportunity
for visiting a picturesque and interesting
section of the United States. The trip will
afford a realization of the wonderful
progress of the West in its commercial de
velopment and particularly in its railway
service.
It was no longer ago than in the strenuous
days of '6l that Colorado was first made a
territory and its capital city named for Gen.
.1. W. Denver, a Kansas Governor. It was
not until IS7O that the first Chicago, Union
Pacific & North-Western Line train entered
the city, and six, yeans later, irnthe year of
the Centennial Exposition, that Colorado
was admitted to the Union.
The Chicago & North-Western Railway
announces n summer tourist rate of $30.00
for the round trip from Chicago to Colorado
points, and similarly low rates from all
points East.
The Union Pacific and Chicago & North
western Railways maintain a double daily
train service between Chicago and Denver,
only one night en route from Chicago and
the Central States and two nights from the
Atlantic seaboard. The trains are equimied
with buffet, smoking and library cars. Pull
man drawing-room sleeping cars and free
reclining chair ears. Dinine cars, meals a
la carte. The best of everything.

CHANGE OF LIFE.
i Some sensible advice to
* women passing through this
trying period.
The painful and annoying symp
toms experienced by most women
at this period of lift; are easily over
come by Lytiia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable C'ompouirl. It is esi>e
cially designed to meet the needs
of woman's system at the trying
time of change of life.
It is no exaggeration to state that
Mrs. Pinkhain has over 5000 letters
like the following proving the great
value of her medicine at such times.
"I wish to thank Mrs. l'inkbain for
what her medicine has done for me.
My trouble was change of life. Four
years ago my health bepan to fail, my
Lead began to grow dizzy, my eyes
pained me, nnd at times it seemed as
if my back would fail me, had terrible
pains across the kidneys. Hot (lashes
were very frequent and try in p. A
friend advised me to try l.ytllu
E. Pinkliuni's Veffelalile Com
pound. I have taken six bottles of it
and am to-day free from those troubles.
I cannot speak in high enough terms
of the medicine. I recommend it to all
and wish every suffering woman would
give It a trial."— Hki.i.a Uo*m, hm Mont

would not recommend building a stone
wall over three to 3y s feet high. In
my own building I shall not build a
wall over one foot in height, and shall
make floor on a level with it with suf
ficient. slope from center of alley to
drain off all liquid. I would not build
in a side hill, as I think it would be
too damp. I would not build a two

it so you can drive in and unload on

PREPARATION OF WOOL.
CnrelcNnnen* in Thin Work l-TinlnFl*
a I. OHM of Several Million l)ol-
Ijith in Ksncli SCUMO&I.
The wool man may know how to sell
wool, lie may even know the true
grades of wool and how to grow it.
Whether 'the wool man is a composite
character, possessing the above know l
edge or a separate man in each of the
classes named, he should be reminded
of the fact that the woolen doth mak
er knows what is most desirable in a
liber; that is, whether it is of even
grade, whether it has a good tension
capacity, will felt evenly, or is not in
the bad company of a mere handful or
even a few straws of coarser lleecc.
Even a trace or mohair in wool, for
instance, or wool in mohair, for that
matter, is disastrous, for it c;*i only
be got out at the factory by extra cost
in sorting. This intrusion may be had
by packing one grade of wool in the
bags which formerly held another
grade. Cloth is frequently met with
which has a black hair or a lumpy
streak and the Uke. The wool which
produced this off-grade cloth or sec
onds loses to the seller as it does-to the
manufacturer. The wool sharer or
puller should be most careful with his
fleeces, that they may be marketed at
the highest prices, and, hence, to the
best advantage. The production of
wool in this country is about 400,000,-
300 pounds. A loss of one cent per
pound on it would mean $4,000,000.
Carelessness entails a greater loss
than one cent per pound. While the
wool seller is looking at the market in
the abstract, the wool buyer is looking
very closely at the fleece. The pro
ducer could profit also by as close a
scrutiny of his product.—.National

SEASONABLE HOG NOTES.
Th pig should have a dry, warm nest,
free from dust.
One or more brood sows ire neces
sary on every farm.
Thrift, not hunger, should prompt
the pig 'to take exercise.
The hog should never be compelled
to squeal for his food.
Sows that have a very nervous tem
perament should be avoided.
Always select the largest, most
growthy and best sows for breeders.
Exercise develops the muscled ami
lias a tendency to produce lean meut.
Plenty of good water is as essential
to the health of the hogs as good food.
When the pig is a suckling is when
the foundation is laid for its future
prosperity.
Sunshine, fresh air and ground are
all necessary to the health, grow th and
development of pigs.
Dry dirt i* not only an absorbent,
but a disinfectant, wherein lies the ad
vantage of a ground Door,
lu many case* a quart of charcoal
, given to a brood ov\ that has taken
too much feed will relieve her.
Pork making and up t ile ; i-owing are
mutually helpful when the wormy ap

EARLY AND LATE PIGS.
Instruct I %-e DtMnnnnlon of m ftnhjret
Wherein Every Wentern Farm
er I* Vitally Interested.
Every swine raiser probably has his
own ideas about the proper time for
the pigs to be littered, and there is an
doubt, that the different localities aud
the accommodations for their recep
tion which have been provided make
a difference as to the best season for
them to come, if good shelter and
zomfortable houses lor the brood sow
have been provided, there is no doubt
that the pig farrowed in February or
March will be a profitable piece of
property, but without these they had
better come later, if the breeder fol
lows the practice of raising two litters
a year, as many of them do, early far
rowing is a necessity. A pig that
makes its appearance from the mid
dle of February to the latter part of
March can be so managed that the
second litter can come and be well
on the way before the cold weather
sets in. A pig which comes early in
the season iias the advantage of grass,
and he will thrive, come to maturity
and become fat at much less expense
than one which is farrowed in the
fall.
Another advantage is that pigs born
in the early months of the year can
be fattened and sent to market before
the hogs which have been fed on the
new corn are sent into glut the mar
ket and cause a depreciation in prices.
In addition to having warm shell er,
the brood sow should have more than
ordinary care when she is expected
to bring forth her litter while the cold
weather is still in evidence. During
the period of gestation they should
not be kept fat enough to make good
pork, but at the same time they should
be kept in good condition. Their food
should not consist exclusively of corn,
but should be varied with a diet that
will produce bone and muscle as well
as fat and warmth. A good feed for
sows at this time is potatoes, boiled
and mashed and mixed with ground
oats and corn, with the addition of a
small quantity of bran. The small po
tatoes which have been sorted out
from the marketable ones can be util
ized very profitably in this manner.
Scalded clover hay is also a good addi
tion to the slop, as is also all the skim
milk that can be spared from the kitch
en.—Chicago Drovers' Journal.
ECONOMICAL FEEDING.
Designer of (lie Device Sn>* It I* Sure
to Keep the I'igs from Get
ting in tilt- Trough.
I will here try to describe my pig
trough, and hope I can make it plain
enough for you to understand. I make
1 V-shaped trough out of Ix 6 and Ixs
- boards; to each end of trough
I nail A, which is made of lx3-ineh
slats, with a slot cut in top end tore-
UIL 1 U
A
FEED-SAVING PIG TROUGH.
ceive B, which is also a lx3-inch slat,
two inches longer than the trough.
To B are nailed lx2-inch shits, 12 or
14 inches long, four inches apart on
alternate sides, and the lx2-inch slats
long enough to just reach the bottom
of trough, when B. to which they are
nailed, is set in the slots and three
inch wood pins put through at top
end to keep pigs from lifting it out of
place b_v drawing out the pins. Part,
with lx2-inch slats nailed on can be
taken off. and trough is easily cleaned.
I ha\e a small pen to set the trough in,
and when the trough is tilled open the
slide door and let in the pigs. They
can drink on either sffle; when pigs
are over four months old they should
have a larger trough. This is the best
thing I have e\er tried to keep pigs
out of thetrough, as lhej - have 110 room
to get more than their noses in the
trough. Carl A. Wiebke, in Epitomist.
UnicU Growth*. Elik Profits.
A quick growth and an early matur
ity. returns the best profit among cat
tle, swine, sheep and poultry. The in
telligent farmer, in preparing his stock
for market, should always bear in
mind the importance of pushing hia
stock from the time they are born un
til placed on the market. Every day
should see a gain in weight along the
lines of profit, yet at the same time,
this crowding should not be overdone.
There is danger of injuring animals by
overfeeding, especially when young.
If. however, the feed rations are prop
erly made, looking toward just enough
and not too little, or too much, good
resul'ts mil) be expected ill the end.—
Midland Farmer.

W.J. Hill, of 40 South Union Street,
Concord, N. C., proprietor of hardware
and harness store, Justice of the Peace,
and one of the best known residents of
that city, says : " Doan's Kidney Pills
proved a very efficient remedy in my
case. I pot a box at the Gibson Drug
Store and used them for disordered
kidneys and backache from which I had
experienced a great deal of annoyance,
trouble and pain. The kidney secre
tions had bothered me for a long while,
were very irregular, dark colored and
full of sediment. The Pills cleared it
all up and I have not had an aehe in my
back since taking the last dose. My
back is much stronger and my health
generally is improved a great deal. I
am glad to make a public endorsement
of the Pills trusting that it may be
the means of relieving some other
sufferer."
