SOLIDS IK MILS. The fact that milk is liquid in form de ceives many persons as to its nutritive value, as well as regards tho chnracter of food neoded to produco it. Farmers know by experience that mangolds or .-v. un-is, nuno onen promoting a large flow of milk, either make it of poor quality or rapidly reduce tho flosh of the cow. This fact is explained by the chemical analysis of milk, which shows only eighty-five per cent, of water, while the mangolds have ninety-one per cent. Fodder corn when green has eighty per cent, of water, but it contains even less "proportion of nitrogenous matter thau the mangolds. Unod milk is rich in two important and valuablo elements. Its carbon is in the form of fat, and is shown in cream and butter. Its nitrogenous matter shows when the milk is soured, making curd and cheese. Unless both theee elements aie furnished in the food, the milk can only be good at the expense of the cow. Button Cultivate. M AtXTAIMSa KKIlTIIilTT OF TUB FAtlM.

Overdriviug, irregular aud over fc.-ding, exposure to drafts in stable, to wet and cold outside, are fruitful j causes. Overwork, too, depletes the sys- j tem and invites disease, inflammation, etc. j The question, "Whvit is the moft economical method of storing coarse feed ( and feeding coarse grain to stock to get best result?" was introduced by Amos j Phelps, who said: "I have been tryina for forty years to tolvo this problem, aud I lu-unjr am ni. ii iuss iu jvuuw wuuiuer j have the right solution of it." A recent speaker favored premiums for fast-walking horses; if a farmer bj increasing his speed cau do ten hours' farm work in eight hours, he has two hours saved for recreation, rest or read ing, all or combined. An old gentlemen claimed thut first-class ploughing cannot bo done with a fast-walking team. Old bulls are the favc rites on which the Chicago canniug factories feed, be cause the lean in their carcasses is in much larger proportion to tho fat than in steers, and also because when a ltSOU pound fat steer sells for six cents a pound live weight, old bulls equally fat ure not worth more than two cents. A good and durable trellis for vines is made by bending stout wire mtils iuo staples, pounding tho heads flat on an iron, and driving one set into tho Uouso near tho grouud, another row into the cornice, etc., theu stringing them with "fence wire," as the stout gauge is called which all farmers keep on hand nowadays.

On admission to hospital, they had plainly one thing in common with those suffering from alcohol; they were exhausted from sheer want of food. It was the first and main point of my treatment that this should be met by prompt feeding, most generally by repeated oupiuU of arrowroot and milk.

One failure to cure would take the profit from 4000 sales. Its makers profess to cure " cold in the head," and even chronic catarrh, and if they fail they pay $500 for their over-confidence, Not :n newspaper words but in hard cash Think of what confidence it takes to put that in the papers and vican it. Its makers believe in the Remedy. Isn't it worth a trial ? Isn't any trial prefer able to catarrh? After all, the mild agencies are the best. Perhaps they work more slowly, but they work surely. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are an active agency but quiet and mild. They're sugar-coated, easy to take, never shock nor derange the system and half their pow er is in the mild way in which their work is done. Small est, cheapest, easiest to take. One a dose. Twentyfive cents a vial. Of all druggists. .ADWAY'8 READY RELIEF. IKE CREI C0XQUE801 OF Ptl tionit rubbL-ii on br burnt, net Ilka Wmato. cniiKluii invpnln iu iimmuilr .IOp. "Ti""..- t " f"" ' " " ".
