No Difference.
Physical troubles of a like nature coming
from different causes are often a puzzle to
those who suffer pain as to their treatment
and cure, as in the case of lumbago from
cold or a strain Id some way to the same

differ one with the other. Both are bad
enough, and should have prompt attention,
as nothing diaables so much as lame back.
The use of Ht. Jacobs Oil will settle the
question. Its efficacy is so sure in either
ease there is no difference in the treatment
and no doubt of the cure.

How Many Dees In a Colony?
How many bees iu a colony? de
pends upon the season of year. How
ever, a few hundred bees and a queen
may be called a small colony, but I
believe an average colony contains
perhaps thirty or thirty-five thousand
bees, and during the honey season
when they are at their greatest
strength, they may have double the
above number, and when at their
lowest number, which is in late winter,
they may run down to ten thousand,
or much less. To get at any correct
estimate of this is rather diflicnlt, and
many give the average of a fair work
ing colony at twenty or twenty-five
thousand, while some think it possible
for a colony to leach seventy-five
thousand. Agricultural Epitomist.
Preservation of F-gga.
The He, liner Markthalleuzeiluug
reports about experiments made for
the purpose of securing the most ra
tional method of preserving eggs.
This being a topic of general interest,
I beg to give hereafter an extract of
the results obtained, as described in
the said journal:
Twenty methods were selected for
these experiments. In the first days
of July 400 fresh eggs were prepared
according to these methods (twenty
eggs for each method), to ba opened
for use at the end of the month of
February.
Of course, a most essential noiut
for the snccess of preservation is that
only really fresh eggs be employed.
as the most infallible means of ascer
taining the age of the eggs the experi
mentist designated the specifio weight
of same. With fresh eggs it is from
1.0784 to 1.0942, If the eggs are put
into a solution of 120 grammes (4.23
ounces) of common salt in one litre
(1.0567 quarts) of water, the specifio
weight of which solution is 1.073, all
the eggs that swim on this liquid
weigh less, aud consequently are not
fresh. Only those eggs that sink
should be used for preservation.
When, after eight months of preser
vation, the eggs were opened .for use,
the twenty different methods em
ployed gave the most hetrogeneous
results:
(1) Egss put for preservation in
salt water were all bad (not rotten,
but uneatable, the salt having pene
trated into tho ;s).
(2) Eggs wruj ped iu paper, eighty
per cent. bad.
(3) Eggs preserved in a solution of
salicylic acid and glyoeriu, eighty per
cent. bad.
(4) Eggs rubbed with salt, seventy
per .cent. bad. From the United
States Consular Report.
A Work Shop on the Farm.
A work shop on the farm is a great
convenience; every progressive farmer
hns one, and those who want to keep
up with the advancement of agricul
tural iuterests will follow suit. To
build a work shop is an easy job; it
doesu't take long aud costs but little,
if constructed as that dear old cabiu
iu which I used to work. My work
shop was about eight by ten feet aud
six feet from the floor to the loft,
covered with oak boards and having
no floor save the ground. It was
sided np with one-inch oak boards,
which were sawed from timber cut iu
the woods, the space between the
planks being covered with lb in oak
strips. The shop was provided with
an anvil, two strong hammers, a vise,
planes, saws, screw-drivers, chisels, a
shaving horse, brace aud a set of fif
teen bits, ranging from au eighth of
an inch to au iuch, spoke shaves, a
square and rule, etc., all of which
may be bought new for about $12. I
also had a harness-maker's outfit in
the shop, so when harness needed re
pairing 1 did not have to go eight or
ten miles to have it doue. Whenever
auy of the machinery got out of order
it could generally be repaired at home,
and thus save money and time. For
iuBtauce, when wheat is dead ripe and
ought to be cut as soon as possible,
the binder breaks, a rod or some
minor part gets out of order; then to
the blacksmith shop, unless you are
pretty well skilled iu the work of re
pairing iron aud have a shop aud
tools of your own, iu which case much
valuable time is saved.
. A workshop is, iu my judgment, as
essential to the farm us a spriug or
cistern, and I am ardently in lavor of
the latter. When there is work to be
done in the shop iu the winter, a small
stove is easily put up. Thus com
fortable quarters are prepared for the
workiueu. Oftentimes the farm har
ness b.'OaU, s.iujctiiues when the farmer
is in the midst of a very busy season.
Now comes the chance to use the
shop; or when there is uo particular
need for the brokeu harness, a rainy
day will come about when the farmer
may go to the shop and do his work iu
the dry, having tho necessary tools at
hand.
Furui implements, no difference
how strong they may be or how sub
stantially they may be constructed,
will frequently get out of order, thus
occasioning the use of a blacksmith or
wood workman. Now, ull such work
can be nnd ought to be done by the
farmers themselves, aud if they would
equip themselves with the tools, etc.,
which can be obtained for a small out
lay, they could do it. Let every
farmer be his own blacksmith, wood
worker, carpenter aud saw sharpener,
if you please. Din ing ruiny days on
the farm there should be work to do,
aud there is. The cross-cut saw needs
sharpening, the harness require mend
ing aud the axes ought to be ground,
aud a dozen other thiugs of this
character might be attended to. The
fanner needs to become au eutbusiust
on the subject of uttricultuie aud all
the biauohes connected therewith; he
must be dominated by that spirit of
onivardness which knows uo limit; he
must keep abreast of the times and
take all the near shoots possible to the
oul of success. Let us be alert and
wide awake; fanning will surely re
ward all who iu fact farm. The voca
tion is now regarded as the most in
dependent of any. Dewitt C. Wing,

Live Stork Notes.
A gentleman will have gentle stock.
Regularity in feeding, both as to
time aud quantity and quality of food,
is one of the things that pay.
As a rule the first 100 pounds oi
sheep and the first 200 of swine costs
less and sells for more than that added
later.
Oood feed and plenty of it early in
the life of the animal is what secures
the maximum development and lays
the foundation for future usefulness.
An Iowa stockman claims that lumps
on the jaws of cattle, particularly those
recently dehorned, are often caused
by vicious jabs given by the sharp
horned youngsters rnuning with the
herd.
George Franklin says the man who
has had a taste of spriug lamb, like
the sheep-killing dog, never forgets it,
and he may as well be fed on a well
cooked saddle-flap as to again go back
to aged mutton.
Lamb-creeps and pig-creeps are
good things in giving the young stock
a start in life. Yon will be surprised
to see how young they will begin to
esi aiiu -Low much they will consume
the right kind of foods is provided.
A Michigan dairyman writes that In
judicious breeding Bnd feeding and
careful selection by the test, keeping
only the best cows and caring for
them properly, he has iu three years
raised the test of his herd from less
than four per cent, to over five per
cent., and reduced the cost of butter
three cents a pound.
There is apparently little foundation
for the c'aim mado by some feeders
that most of the nutriment has been
taken out of the grain which passes
the animal whole; often the loss is
sufficieut to twioe pay for grinding the
feed. A good farm mill will often pay
for itself in a singlo winter's feeding.
The hoofs of the horses must be
kept properly trimmed or they will
grow long and ill-shaped, then per
haps split; or they will grow long' in
front, throwing the foot back npon
the heel, which sometimes sprains
the large tendons of the limbs. Colts
should early be taught to have their
feet handled.
It doesn't pay to let the hogs sleep
around the straw stack or in the man
ure pile; in fact these are about the
worst possible places for them, on
account of the dust and dampness and
the foul, heated air out of which they
will rush to their feed and stand in a
zero temperature tfll thoroughly chil
led, then they begin to die of
cholera(?).
At an institute iu Iowa one of the
speakers stated that ensilage aud the
separator had increased his production
of butter to the extent of sixty-five
pounds per cow per year; another
said the separator had increased bis
product by $12.50 per cow, and that
he could raise the best calves from
separator milk. There, is a difference
of opinion regarding the last state
ment, however.

In addition to the omuipresent bal

The City of Mexico owns a closed
street car without wiudows that is

As a usual rule commercial houses

It is sometimes necessary to hold

Mexicau butchers have uo use for

The ftreerijr Bottle.
A poor, undersized bov, named Tim, sit
ting by a bottle and looking iu, said, "I
wonder if there can bo a pair of shoes In
It?" His mother had mended his olothes,
but said his shoes were so bad he must go
barefoot. Then he took a brick and broke
tho bottle, but there were no shoes in it,
and lie was frightened, for it was his
father's bottle, Tim sat down again and
sobbed so loud that he did not hear a step
behind him, until a voice said:
"WollI what's all this?" Ho sprang up
In great alarm; it was his father.
"Who broke my bottle?" he said.
"I did," said Tim, catching his breath,
half In terror and jialt between his sobs.
"U"iiy did" you?" Tuu luoiteu u(.
The voice did not sound as he had ex
pected. The truth was, his father had been
touched at the sight of the forlorn figure,
so very small and so sorrowful, which bad
bent over the broken bottle.
Why," he snld, "I was looking for a pair
of new shoes. I want a pair of new shoes
awful bad all the other chaps wonr
shoes."
"How came yon to think you'd find shoes
In the bottle?" the father asked.
"Why. mother said so. I asked her for
some new shoes, and she said they had
gone in the black bottle, and that lots of
other things had gone Into It, too coats
and hats, and bread and meat and things,
and I thought if I broke It I'd And 'em all,
and there ain't a thing In Itl I'm real
sorry I broke your bottle, father. I'll never
do It again."
"No, I guess you won't," he said, laying
a hand on the rough little bead as be went
away, leaving Tim overcome with astonish
ment that his father bad not been angry
with him. Two days after ha handed Tim
a parcel, tolling him to open it.
"New shoesl New shoes!" he shouted.
"O, father, did you got a new bottle, and
were they In it?"
No, my boy, there ain't going to be a
new Dottle, lour mother was right; the
things all went Into the bottle, but you see
getting them out is no easy matter; so,
God helping me, I am going to keep them
out after this."
Working-men and the Saloon.
"The serious difficulties surrounding the
wage-earning classes suggest praottoal
work to our totil abstinence societies,"
says Father Cleary, of Minneapolis. "The
sacred rights of labor were never In more
serious danger than In our day. The dis
tresses of the poor combine to dispel from
their minds earnest convictions on the du
ties of the laboring classes. Working men
besotted by drink are easily robbed of their
rights. They forfeit In their folly their
due share of the advantages that modern
Invention and Industrial progress have won
for them. Men whose faculties bave been
weakened by excessive drinking are Inca
pable of defending their rights and unable
to preserve them. The victims of saloon
environment become easy victims of the
delusive sophistries of socialism aud an
archy. Slaves to the drink bablt easily
become unconscious slaves of unscrupulous
masters who deceive nnd mislead them into
believing that the avowed enemy of wealth
Is the poor man's friend. Working men
Whose earnings support the saloon will
never be capable of maintaining their
rights nor of performing their duties. Dis
solute habits will Infallibly consign the
people to debasing buudage, dependent
poverty, degrading slavery and self-con- .
tempt. Kober meu are at least capable of
receiving salutary lessons, of giving intel
ligent consideration to the vexatious prob
lems that arise between organized wealth
nnd organized labor. There is always en
couraging hope that men who are not be
sotted by drink can be guided safely in de
fence of their right and In performance of
their duties."

Work of English Temperance lteforuieri.
Canon Hicks, of England, declared re
cently in a public address that temperance
reformers were doing more than to rescue
individuals, since they were fighting for
the liberty of the people, whose bodies aud
souls, and whose homes and happiness,
were virtually bought and sold by the great
brewer capitalists. This is a serious in
dictment, but there are facts which could
be cited to support It.
Generally Admitted.
"The evil of Intemperance is generally
admitted," says the Itev. N. J. McManus at
the C. T. A. U. Convention Iu Hcrauton,
Penn., last summer. "Economically it Is a
poor Investment. Hociully It Is an Intoler
able nuisance, condemned alike by private
and public opiuion. Unified public opiuiou,
the law of the Mate, has adjudged drunk
enuess a crime punishable by flue and im
prisonment, and Justly so in the Interest of
public morals."
Temperance News and Note.
Temperance helps to remove temptation.
Body and soul are benefited by abstinence
froui liquor.
Hcientiflo temperance Is taught iu the
boys' aud girls' colleges at Conoepuion,
Chill, and the young people are greatly In
terested. Temperauce reform is one of the most
urgent of uutlonal remedies, because In
temperance is one of the most dangerous
of national evils.
One's own self-interest demands temper
ance; besides which, the good example
snown to others will undoubtedly Influence
some in the right direction.
Why should a man be discouraged be
cause iu the battle with his appetites he is
made cognizant of his weakness? Has he
not the weapon of prayer to overcome the
enemies of bis soul?
Every coming day Is a new leaf of the
book of life, white und unspotted. Let it
not be stained with drunkenness.
It Is an alarming aud discouraging fact
that in the homes of too mauy of our peo
ple the drink curse is nut properly dreaded,
and the vice above all vices that is directly
hostile to our religion of restraint and self
deuiul is uot regarded with the horror that
it deserves.

A llrlght Penobscot Indian flm.
Lucy Nicolar, daughter of the late
Joseph Nioolar of the Tenobscot tribe,
is an accomplished bicycle rider. She
is just coming into her teens, and is a
young miss of marked beauty, and
wherever she goes with baskets or
Indian exhibits many a yonng Ameri
can who looks npon the Indian maiden
feels that the land of the renobscots
must be "the land of handsome wom
en.'! Just now Lucy is receiving pri
vate instructions that she may enter
the Oldtown High School. Hor in
strtietor tells me that she is bright in
her slndies aud that mathematics is
her forte. Lucy is perhaps the most
proficient piano player on the island,
being the owner of an instrument.
She also sings . pleasingly. Tint the
skill of the tribe is not forgotten by
this young member, for she can make
baskets, etc., as well as some of the
older ones. The mother of Lucy is
one of the finest-looking members of
tho tribe, a woman respected by all
who know her. Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
In the Shame-Fared Land.
The seclusion of women in Korea is
carried to the utmost limit. Ladies
out of doors wear a green mantle
which covers the whole conntenanoe
expect the eyes. Nor do thev willing
ly let even their eyes be seen and to
avoid meeting a man they will turn
into the house nearest at hand.
Travelers recount that the women are
taught to shun the opposite sex from
their earliest girlhood. They are
even exhortod to talk as little as may
be to their own husbands. What is
still more extraordinary is the innate
modesty of the men. This sentiment
imples them to work in jackets and
trousers in the hottest weather; while
the richer classes use a kind of bamboo
framework to keep the clothes, other
wise nubearable, from contact with
the skin.'1-

Chronla Rheumatism.
From Ihf Intttutrlal Meim, Jarkunn, Aflh,
The subject of this sketch Is fi'fly-sli
years of age, and actively engaged in farm
ing. When seventonn years old he hurt hi
shoulder and a few years after commnnoed
to have rheumatic pains In it. On taking
a slight cold or the least strain, sometimes
without any apparent cause whatever, the
trouble would start and ho would suffer the
most excruciating pains.
He sulTernd for over thirty years, and the
last decade has suffered so much that hs
was unable to do any work. To this the fre
quent occurrences ofdlzr.y spoils were add
ed, making blm almost a helpless Invalid
IN ALL SORTS or WEATHER
Ho tried the best physicians but without
being benefited and has used several specific
rheumatic euros. but was not. helped. About
one year and six monthsngo he read In this
paper of a case somewhat similar to his
which was cured by Dr. Williams' I'lnk
Pills and concluded to try this remedy.
After taking the first box ho felt some
what better, and nfter using three boxes,
the pains entirely disappeared, the dizzi
ness left him and he has now for over at
year been entirely free from all his former
trouble and enjoys better health than he,
has had since his bovhood.
He is loud In his praises of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People and will gladly
corroborate the above statements. H Is post
office address Is Lorenzo Noeloy, Horton,
Jackson County, Michigan.

life and richness to tho blood and restore
