READ AND YOU WILL LEARN
That the leading medical writers and
Uachcra ot all the several schools of
practice endorse and recommend. In the
atrooKPSt terms possible, each aud every
Ingredient entering Into the composition
of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
for the cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia,
catarrh of stomach, "liver comDlalnt,"
torpid liver, or biliousness, chronic bowel
affections, and all catarrhal diseases of
whatever region, name or nature. It is
also a specific remedy for all such chronic
or long standing cases of catarrhal affec
tions and their resultants, as bronchial,
throat and lung diseases (except consump
tion) accompanied with severe coughs. It
is not so good for acute colds and coughs,
but for fingering, or chronic cases it is
especially efficacious in producing per
fect cures. It contains Black Cherrybark,
Golden Seal root. Blood root. Stone root.
Mandrake root and Queen's root—all of
which are highly praised as remedies for
all the above mentioned affections by such
eminent medical writers and teachers as
Prof. Bartholow, of Jefferson Med. Col
lege; Prof. Hare, of the Univ. of Pa.;
Prof. Finley Ellingwood. M. IX, of Ben
nett Med. College, Chicago ; Prof. John
King. M. D.. late of Cincinnati; Prof.
John M. Scudder, M. D.. late of Cincin
nati ; PTof. Edwin M. Hale, M. D.. of
Hahnemann Med. College, Chicago, and
scores of others equally eminent In their
several schools of practice.
The "Golden Medical Discovery" Is the
only medicine put up for sale through
druggists for like purposes, that has any
such professional endorsement wortn
more tnan any number of ordinary testi
monials. Open publicity of its formula
oa the bottle wrapper is the best possible
guaranty of its merits. A glance at this
published formula will show that "Golden
Medical Discovery" contains no poison
ous or harmful agents and no alcohol—
chemically pure, triple-refined glycerine
being used instead. Glycerine is entirely
unobjectionable and besides Is a most
useful Ingredient In the cure of all stom
ach as well as bronchial, throat and lung
affections. There is the highest medical
authority for its use in all such cases.
The "Discovery " Is a concentrated glyc
eric extract of native, medicinal roots
and is safe and reliable.

By H. A. GOSSARD, Ohio * experiment

Auiong insectivorous winter binls
none Is more valuable than the chicka
dee or black capped titmouse, l'arua
ntricapillus. It is busy all winter long,
gleaning the bark In the woods, in the
orchards and In the evergreen hedge
wherever there are trees. The larvae
of the codling moth or apple worm,
the little grubs of the fruit bark bee

BUBS).
pillars, fall cankerworms and like in
sects remaining on the bark over win
ter are found and devoured by it.
More than 450 of the black eggs laid
by plant lice are known to have been
eaten by a single bird in one day. As
suming that one chickadee eats on an
average twenty-five eggs per day, an
estimate far below the actual number,
over 3,000 eggs will have been con
sumed during the months of December,
January. February and March. Each
one of these eggs represents the futura
form of piant louse known as the
"stem mother," which, no mishaps oc
curring to cut short the natural life of
any of her descendants, would, accord
ing to Huxley, produce in ten genera
tions a mass of organic matter equiva
lent to the bulk of 500.000.000 human
beings, or the whole population of the
Chinese empire.
The apple plant louse has normally
about eight generations in one season,
the greater proportion of the individ
uals failing for various reasons to re
produce, but enough has been said to
prove that the chickadee is the bird
that eats the egg, that hatches the
louse, that breeds the plague, that
knocks the orchardlst out. It has been
further said by a reliablo Investigator
that "no bird compares with it In de
stroying the female cankerworm moths
aud their eggs." He estimates that one
bird
in one day and will therefore con
sume 138,750 eggs during the twenty
five days it takes the cankerworm
moths to crawl up the trees.
The woodpeckers are more busy in
winter than in summer, hunting for
wood boring larvae and wood burrow
ing ants. Insects' eggs and bark lice
or scale insects are likewise eaten by
them. Thirteen per cent of the food of
the downy woodpecker, Pryobntes pu
bescens, consists of wood boring coleop
terous larvae, or "sawyers," and dur
ing caterpillar season of I*3 per cent of
caterpillars, both of those that bore iu
r* " ' <—CA'

wood, such as the larvae of the leopard
moth and those that feed upon the
leaves. Nearly one-fourth of the year
ly food of this species consists of ants,
most of which are wood borrowers fol
lowing damage started by wood boring
grubs or "sawyers."'
The hairy woodpecker, Dryobates vil
losus, eats fewer ants than the downy
species, but more beetle larvae and
caterpillars. The flicker, Colaptes au
ratus, eats more ants and fewer borers
and caterpillars than the two specieg
preceding, many of the ants being pick
ed from the ground.
Warnings to HOR Rtlitra,
Don't think the sow can take care
of her young without any assistance
whatever with the thermometer below
?ero.
Don't forget that a good bed is neces
»ary at all times, but more especially
at this season of the year, and that It
should be free from dust and dampnesi
if you expect the pigs to thrive.
Don't fasten the sow up in a small
pen. from which are expelled all air
and light, as sunshine and fresh air
are two of the best disinfectants
known in the world. —John R. Gentry.
Weed Fighter*.
the problem of weed destruction is
perennial in every land. Indeed soil
culture may be called a never ceasing
war against weeds. Of the birds that
" aid the farmer In this struggle the bob-
White, the native sparrows and the
mourning dova are the most efficient.
They attack weeds at that vital stage,
the seed period; hence their work, es
pecially against the annuals which de
pend on seeds for perpetuation, Is of
enormous practical value.— S. D. Judd.

"Tell the lady we can't take that hat
