'' HOOD **
"C. I. Hood Co.. Lowell, Alans.:
"Dear Sirs:—l have been in poor health for
or 125 years, and have been taking doctors'
medicines more or less all the time. I did not
gel much relief. My blood was in a bad shape
and my system was all run down. 1 thought I
must die. but noticing several testimonials in
Ihe papers in behalf of Hood's Sarsaparilla i
bought three bottles and found that it did me
so much good that 1 continued taking it. I was
without appetite, slothfully sleepy, and had a
headache most all the time. In fact 1 cannot
describe my feelings. After using one l>ottle of
Hood's Sarsaparilla 1 found it was doing me
Hood's s P"Cures
much good and now 1 cannot praise the medi
cine too much for what it has done for me. 1
am a disabled soldier years old and was af
flicted with many ailments, including kidney,
bronchiti- and catarrh. Since using 0 bottles
of Hood's Sarsaparilla ! am like another man.
I?i fac I think Hood'-; Sjirsap irilla saved my
life.' 1 i». 11. Bis toi*, Ho\ WO, Hanimonton,N..f.

All Snakes l)o \ot Hiss.
The popular idea that all snakes hiss
is incorrect when anacondas are in
question, it' we may believe a eloße ob
server of the serpent family. The
sound they make is more like a growl
than a hiss and has been well de
scribed by a recent travffler as a
"low. roaring noise." Their powers
of deglutition are sulliciently wonder
ful to make exaggeration unnecessary,
creditable witnesses testifying to the
• fact that one has been known to swal
low a horse, while bullocks are not in-*
frequently attacked also. Few uon
scientilic readers, by the way, are
aware that not only do the jaw hinges
of the boa tribe become dislocated in
the act of swallowing a large animal,
subsequently resuming their proper
position by means of the elastic con
necting tendons, but that the skull
bones .separate centrally, so that the
whole constitutes a sort of quadrangu
lar orifice with apparently indefinite
powers of expansion.—Detroit Free
Press.
Tlip Dancing Needles,
fn t lie show window of nn optician's
shop on Tremont street, Boston, is a
line of compasses which perform gyra
tions marvelous to the lay mind, and
which incidentally aft'ord an attractive
and mysterious advertisement for the
proprietor. They are to all appear
ances not eonuected with any source
of motion, and yet the needles move
all the time from right to left, and
sometimes swing quite around the cir
cle of their little boxes. The reason
is that the return current from the
trolley lines ou Tremont street exerts
an attraction on the compass
and causes the mysterious motions.— i

Deafness Cannot be Cored
bv local applications an they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
1 way to cure Deafness, and that is bv constitu-
I tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an ln
-1 flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gels in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when It is entirely closed
Deafness is the resnlt, and unless the inflam
mation can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

OOOD AND BAD COWS.
The difference allowed in the worth
of a good cow in comparison to a poor
one is generally less than the figures
will show. One-half pound of butter
per day for 300 days at twenty-two
cents per pound amounts to $33. Al
lowing one-half of this for extra food
on account of greater digestion still
leaves §lfi.so, which in eight years,
about the average time auimals are
kept for dairy purposes, amounts to
$132. —New York Tribune.
OILING HARNESS.
Unbuckle every strap and wash care
fully with water, castile poap and
sponge or cloth. Allow to dry for five
or ten minutes. Then oil, rubbing
every part of the harness, except the
patent leather, with a cloth well soaked
in neatsfoot oil, or pour out two or
three quarts of oil iuto a pan and draw
each piece through it, slowly bending
and rubbing the strap. The buckle
holes should have a little extra oil,
also the bellybauds, breeching and the
straps that buckle to the bits. To give
the leather a new look, add to one pint
of oil a large teaspoonful of lamp
black and an ounce or two of bees
wax. —New York Observer.
SHARPENING A CAST IRON PLOW POINT.
Many farmers are not aw r re that
when a cast iron plow point has be
come very dull, or even thrown aside
as worthless, its usefulness can be pro
longed, for the plowing of one or two
more acres in common soil. Remove
the point from the plow, and if there
is no stone as large as a man's head,
drive an iron wedg-j partly into a log,
or post, or even use an ax, or other
piece of iron, the object being to ob
tain a solid surface to strike against.
Take the point, bottom up in the left
hand, resting it upon the stone,or iron
near the point, then with a hammer
strike a quick, angling downward
blow, just chipping off the point.
These blows will not break the iron at
right angles, hut chip it off, sometimes
in pieces the size ofa quarter of a dol
lar. Extend this chipping process all
along the cutting surface underneath
the mold board. Practice on uu old
point, as it requires considerable skill
to properly strike even such an inani
mate thing as a plow point. Chi]) the
points before they are too badly worn.

FRIENDS OF THE FARMER.
It is sometimes difficult for farmers
to distinguish friends from enemies
among the birds which make tteir
home among us. A late writer in the
Albany Cultivator speaks in defence of
the red-tailed hawk, mora com
monly known as "hen hawk" from
its propensity for stealing chickens.
The writer says that the chief food of
this hawk is mice, snakes, moles and
striped gophers or chipmunks, and
that it is too slow and clumsy to catch
chickens or other fjwl. It seems to
us that it requires quite as much alert
ness to catch mice or chipmunks as to
catch chickens. We have had consider
able experience with this depredation
in the poultry yard, and losiug a
chicken each morning until the thief
was shot did not look as if the hawk
was very clumsy. It is true that
sometimes the mother hen will drive
awav the hawk, for it is u cowardly
thief; but it will return after a hour
or so and seize u chicken that has
strayed too far from its protector. If
the hen hawk destroys snakes it is
so far an enemy of mau, as these
destroy large numbers of injurious
small bugs, niiee and other vermin.
GLEANING* FHOSI TUE COW W'L AHL.F..

If your dairy haa uo pedigree, start

The cow with a milled temper will

All straw and no hay will turn a

A good way to choke a valuable cow

Too much carbonaceous food in the

Bet a horse barn in a hollow or deep
valley. It will be just about impossi
ble to keep dry under such circum
stances.
The stable should have a high
stud, the lower stofy being nine or ten
feet in height. This will give a good
air space for the animals to breathe in.
A central shaft or ventilator should
run from the ceiling out through the
loft, terminating two or three feet
above the roof. This will let off hot,
fetid air in summer. In winter ol
course it must be kept closed a large
part of the time. This matter of ven
tilation is little thought of by farm
ers and the general run 6f horsemen,
vet it is of the highest and most vital
importance. Bad air surcharged with
ammonia and other excretions from
animal bodies is exceedingly irritating
to the eyes of horses and no doubt
many cases of bliudness are directly
traceable to the influence of these de
leterious gases. Foul air inhaled into
the lungs is highly calculated to in
flame and irritate the delicate and
tender structures of the windpipe,
bronchial tnbes and the air cells.
Hence we would naturally expect, and
do find by experience, that horses sub
jected to such evil influence are trou
bled with coughs, colds, pneumonia
and even farcy and glanders ; horses
affected with the last two diseases
being notoriously badly stabled, poor
ly fed, and often abused. However,
even if good ventilation be provided,
the fonl vapors given off' from dung
and urine, if not attended to, will still
render the atmosphere impure.
Therefore, the necessity of much
bedding and absorbent materials. Dry
earth, plaster and charcoal have a re
markable propensity for taking in and
fixing ammonia. Every stable should
keep a supply ever on hand and two
or three times a day sprinkle a few
handfuls behind each horse. This is
not simply a matter of health to the
horse, but a means of saving the best
of manure for farm crops, a great in
ducement in itself. These absorbents,
coupled with the use of straw fftr bed
ding, serve in 110 small degree to keep
the stable sweet and clean and whole
some.
Another feature of the stable is to
have it light and cheery. How many
dark, sepulchral apartments aflford
shelter for horses! Such an environ
ment cannot fail to depress the spirits
and lessen life and usefulness of an
animal that is naturally gay and joy
ful. Then the horse is injured by
leaving such holes and coming sud
denly under the full glare and brill
iancy of a summer or winter sun.
Here we find another frequent source
of eye diseases. —Farm, Field and
Fireside.

"It's all bosh, this talk about cow
boys learning to enjoy the s,Jort of
riding a bucking horse," said a re
formed cowboy. "Riding a bucking
horse is like having boils— you never
get thoroughly used to it. When you
hear a fellow say he would like to ride
a bucking horse he is either a liar or
a greenhorn. The first (lay I ever went
out with a herd of cattle I was dumped
nine times because of the presence of
.1 burr in my saddle-blanket. 1 have
seen but one man that had grit, enough
to sit on a real bucking horse until it
had bucked all it wanted to, and he
was bleeding at the nose, mouth and
ears when they took him ort'the horse
at the end of a half-hour's struggle.
As a general thing a cowboy will pull
a horse's head up, wind the reins
around the saddle-horn, take a firm
grip on the saddle with his hands and
then rowel the bucker until the ani
mal becomes convinced that it is bet
ter to behave than to buck."—Phoenix

A Tennessee Patriarch,
The Rev. Asa Routh, now residing
at Piney Flats, Tenn., has a record
unequaled, perhaps, in the whole
country. He is seventy-five years old,
has been married three times, and is
the father of twenty-nine children,
eighteen girls and eleven boys. He
also has gra ldchildren,
twenty-five great-grandchildren, and
fifteen great-great-grandchildren. Five
of his children now live at home Ho
has preached at every town in East
Tennessee and Southeastern Ken
tucky. He has baptized 900 converts,
married 800 couples and officiated at
400 funerals. He is still in active min
isterial service, is able to ride long
distances on horseback, and three
weeks ago, in a revival meeting at
Rogersville, Tenn., led thirty souls to
Christ. He is well preserved and very
zealous. His uame is a household word
in this section, and his presence is re
quired at all solemn exercises.—St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
The Duke of Fife, the son-in-law of
the Prince of Wales, though he started
life with a fortune, has steadily added
to it. Stock in a London concern
which he purchased some years ago at
SISO a share is now quoted at $45,000
a share.
