THE PICTURE - OF HEALTH
Hood's Sarsaparilla Made Hor
Strong and Healthy.
Sarsaparilla lias been of bene
fit to our little girl,and also to myself and hus
band. When she was years old Mabel was
seized with stomach trouble, like cramps or in
flammation. I was taking Hood's Sarsaparilla
for my blond, and as the doctor's prescription
did not help her, I occasionally gave her a lit
tle of my own medicine. I soon realized that
Hood's Sarsaparilla was
Doing Her Good,
so gave it to her regularly. It has helped her
wonderfully, entirely curing her stomach
trouble, and making her strong and healthy.
Our friends sayahe is the picture of health.
Myself and husband were both troubled with
HoodV;> Cures
malaria, and Hood's Sarsaparilla built us up
and keeps us healthy and free from sickness.
We cordially recommend Hood's Sarsaparil

That there is a considerable quan
tity of land unoccupied or waiting for
occupants in some of counties is only
too well known. An estate in the
eastern counties, a large portion of
which is unoccupied, lias been abso
lutely offered to responsible tenants
rent free for the first year, the owner
> being willing to accept an extremely
low rent for subsequent years or to
take a percentage of the returns.
In some of the southern counties
there are plenty of large farms vacant,
although these are ill adapted for
most occupants. Farmers now prefer
land upon which they can keep a large
dairy herd or breed a few horses and
cattle of high quality. The farms in
question are practically sheep farms
and of little value for any other pur
poses than the production of mutton
and barley.—Manchester Guardian.

HFRINO REPAIRS.
It pays to look the farm over before
tho hurry of spring work comes on,
and find out what ought to be done to
keep everything about it in good con
dition. If time is taken by the fore
lock in this matter, a great deal of the
hurry and worry of spring work, as
usually experienced on the farm, can
bo avoided, and the sundry jobs neces
sary to keeping things about the place
in good shape can be done more satis
factorily, because more loisurely.
American Agriculturist.
POTTING COMPOST FOR PLANTS.
The soil used for potting is made of
one part of clean leaf mold or decayed
sods or rich garden soil free from
weed seeds, one part of clean sand
from a stream, and one part of thor
oughly-decayed cow mauure. For
bright flowering plants somo powdered
charcoal is often added, this giving
great brilliance to the bloom. A good
liquid manure for house plants is
made by dissolving one pound of ni
trate of soda, two pounds of good su
perphosphate of lime, and two pounds
of fresh wood ashes in a barrel of rain
water. —New York Times.
TO KEEP HOOS HBAI/THY,
Cleanly surroundings, pure, clean,
good food of the proper kinds for
building the growing frame work
whilst growing or for fattening when
finishing off is as essential to the health
of hogs as to any other animal, says
Col man's Rural World, and to reverse
these is to induce frailty, weakness,
loss of appetite, and, sooner or later,
disease. It may be iu individual cases
only, or it may attack and decimate
the whole herd and bring ruin and dis
aster to the owner. Filthy pens, filth
fed with food, filthy, rotten, and de
cayed food, sour swill, the dead car
casses of diseased animals, the drop
pings of diseased animals, etc., etc.,
and a like line of feeding and keeping
are all conducive to unthrift and dis
ease, just as surely as that dry wood I
will burn when heaped upon a big fire, i
and we do weli to recognize the tact |
and act upon it. Hogs as raised and
fed for market nowadays are the
merest kind of hothouse plants any
how. They are crowded, and crammed,
and made gluttonous from their earliest
feeding days and unless great care is
taken very easily become feverish, ex
cited, overheated, and fit receptacles
for flouting microbes or other animal- I
cultr iu the air, tho grass, or on their
food.
MAKING AND MENDING FENCES.
Building and maintaining the fences
on the farm is an item of considerable j
expense. It will be found advisable !
to plan the farm so as to lessen the |
quantity of necessary fencing as much !
as possible. Iu many cases the greater 1
part of the cultivated land can be put ,
into one field and in this way a con- j
siderable saving be made.
What fences are necessary should be j
good ones. A fence is intended either !
to keep stock out or in, and if it fails
of this purpose it is an expense with
out benefit.
In the spring go carefully over the I
fences and see that they are in good
repair, as it certainly is not good '
economy to risk a crop where there is j
a chance of stock breaking into it. !
One of the best times for driving posts I
is in the spring when the frost is all
out of the 2-i ' itnl and the soil is soft.
If the posi • well sharpened they
can be set more rapidly in this way
than in nuy other. At this season there
is always more or less time when the
ground is too wet to work, and the
fences can be overhauled without in
terfering with the other farm work.
Wire fencing is so cheap and so
convenient that it has largely taken !
the place of other kinds. One decided i
advantage with it is durability, while j
a good barb-wire fence will restrain
stock that no other kind of fence j
will.
One of the best, fences, especially j
when small hogs are to be restrained,
is made with wire netting eighteen to
twenty-four inches high at the bottom
and three or four strands of barb-wire ;
above this.
By using four-point hog wire at the j
bottom, making the first three or four
strands of this kind, and the rest of j
two-point cattle wire, a hog-proof 1
fonce can be made entirely of barbed |
wire. When this is done it will nearly
always be best to set the posts eight |
feet apart, taking care to stretch the
wires tight. One important item in a 1
good, all-wire fence is to have good,
stout end posts, and to set them deep
in the ground and see that they are
well braced.
A very good fence of all-smooth wire
can be made by using nine or teu
wires ard putting in an upright stay
not further than every ttiree foot. !
Two planks at the bottom and three j
or four strands of barbed wire above
them make one of the best kinds of j
fences that can be built. At present j
prices it is doubtful if it is good econ
omy to make ati all-rail fence. Work
the timber into lumber, ties, posts or
cord wood, and a better, cheaper and j
more lasting fence can be made buy- |
ing wire. One great advantage of a
wire fence is that it takes up much j
less room ami is much easier kept
clean.—St. Louis Republic.
POTATO RAISING MADE EASY.
In deciding upon a specialty, loca
tion must be considered, thinks C. li. i
Chapmnn, of New York. The largest |
part of the potato crop must bo tfro j
within a few miles of a shipping str.- 1
tion, as tht bulk makes too much cost
for hauling long distances. Thirty
bushels at twenty cents per bushel, 1
where but one load can be drawn per
day, little more than pays the cost oft
hauling. 11-i not be handicapped
from the start in planting ground tin- i
suited, or illy prepared.
I 'otatocs require mellow soil; depth
and looseness are more necessary than
richness. The |ionr hemlock, yellow
land of Tioga Oouutv, New York,
yields the finest potatoes brought tj
tl»g >'Tt the mother become sink an I helplesi,
nnd the house is all in disorder. When both
father and mother are down, you may as
well closo tho shutters. Order is brought
out of chaos often very easily, and Mrs. John
Malin, of South Butte, Mont., Feb. 17, 1890
found an easy way out of her dimuilties,
she writes thus "My husb in lan 1 I took
very bad rheumatism from severe colds, an 1
my arms were so lame I couid not raise them
to help myself. I sent at onue for a bottle of
St. Jacobs Oil, auil before the bottle was

husband became so lamo ho uouid not get
out ot bed. Two an I a half bottles com
pletely cured him. I will always praisiHt.
Jacobs Oil and you may uso this as you seo

the right momenl, and how every household
can be made happy where pain abounds.

while a young man, taken sick inaNew

nursed him through the illness. lie
never forgot it, alway inquiring after
his benefactress, and on every possi

in a distant place in the West, and set out
to save the money for the trip. A
