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 >'T<W Yvrk market. With UK- I
phosphates have proved valuelosa;
horse manure spread on clover sod a
year previous to planting is the best
preparation. The land is plowed in
the fall, twice dragged in the spring,
with a spring tooth harrow. The
drills are marked out three feet apart
with a two-horse reversible plow, let
ting the plow run as deep as when the
land was lirst plowed, turning all fur
rows down hill, which forms a bank
on the lower side. Where land is
steep the soil cannot be worked up to
the hill from the lower side. The
other way is marked with a narrow
toothed marker, which drags some
fine earth back into the furrow, which
makes a perfect seed bod.
The cut seed is dropped and stepped
on by boys. With the same plow and
one horse walking in the trench, the
seed is covered, throwing the soil the
same way as before, not back. The
tubers are covered six to eight inches
deep and the ground is two-thirds re
plowed. The potatoes will be a long
time in coming up, will escape the
first crop of bugs, will withstand
drouth, can be harrowed several times,
and, best of all, will be strong, rank
growers, soon shading the ground
with their foliage. I have never yet
found a new tuber below the piece
planted, nor above that point on the
stalk which first saw the light, no
matter how much soil was piled around
it afterwards. Therefore it is best to
plan so as to have a long bearing stem,
with tubers attashed far enough frjia
each other to expand fully, instead of
a hat full of the suae of hens' eggs at
tached to two inches of stalk.
From the time the potatoes are plant
ed until they break through the
ground, they are dragged several times
with a heavy two-horse spring drag,
drawn in the same direction they were
covered, but not across the furrows.
This" levels down the two furrows par
tially, and forms a rounded hill, com
pletely mellows the soil in the hill,
kills all weeds, can be done by a boy
at a very small expense, as compared
with cost of cultivating, and is infinite
ly better iu the quality of work done.
By this process no hoe ever goes into
the field, nor any snnburned potatoes
come out. The root growth is enor
mous ; some of the roots aro twenty
inches long before any tubers have set.
The after cultivation is very shallow
to keep the ground from crusting over
after rains, and to keep the soil fine
and mellow, so as to serve as a mulch
iu times of drouth.
Select some largo yielding, medium
late, disease resisting, long white po
tato, and the battle is luilf won. Round
potatoes are not favorites in the mar
ket, and peal to waste. Do not let
your seed sprout. In a trial row I cut
the seed early last season, placed it in
crates and covered it with land plaster,
which kept it cool; when planted the
buds were swollen full, but not enough
to break oft'. Thus treated, it gavo
the largest yield of any of my trial
rows. My rule is to seed according to
the quality of the land. The poorer
the land the farther apart the hills,
and the less seed.—American Agricul
turist.
FARM AND GARDEN' NOTES.
A hen should lay about twelve dozen
eggs a year.
Always see that the milch cow has a
good milk-forming ration.
You can feed clover to laying hens
four or five times a day with profit.
Bo sure to fix up a warm poultry
house for next winter. Cold hens are
profitless.
Sprinkle a good dressing of copper
as under the grapevines as a remedy
for mildew.
Land that cannot be profitably culti
vated may often be planted with trees
to advautage.
Between hay and graßs is a precari
ous period for the cows. They will
bear attention.
In the growing of largo strawberries
a rich soil thoroughly prepared is an
important factor.
Good drainage should always bo pro
vided before the planting is done,
rather than afterward.
Unless a sow has shown characteris
tics of early maturity she should not
be used for breeding purposes.
A weak, delicate horse is poor prop
erty. Breed for vigorous action. Breed
sound mares to sound stallions.
Tn building your poultry house
don't put too much glass in it. One
third of the south front is sufficient.
The best time to prune the plums is
in the spring, between the last heavy
freezes and the breaking of the buds.
Bones make a good fertilizer if
buried near the grapevines. Old boots
and shoes may be utilized in the same
way.
If winds break oft' any of the limbs
of trees, the stubs should be cut off
close and smooth and the wounds cov
ered with paint.
If given plenty of room the white
and sugar maples are fine door yard
trees for shade. A lawn set with
maples and evergreens presents a hand
some appearance.
Old geese are better layers and
mothers than young ones. As the
young geese are in greater demand in
the market it would be advisable to
keep the old ones for breeding, as
they are prolific for years.
If certainly requires as much labor
to make a pound of poor butter as it
does to make a pound of the best, and
usually it takes more labor, as it is
not churned so quickly and the butter
milk is not so easily worked out. This
is pretty well known to any dairyman
who lias made both kinds.
Grapes, easily grown, are in the
front rank of all fruits and should be
enjoyed in abundance by any family
having a vacant space of a few feet to
(jive foothold for a vine. In vineyards
they ari' planted at all distances from
six t i twelve (net apart ; some good
cultivators allow more space. They
ar at home on any soil suitable fot

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
THE HAT QTO.T.
About the latest Addition in b*d
covering is the hay qnilt. It is t In
of flannelette, cretonne or wool and
nn armful or two of hay. The goods
are sowed strongly across the top and
bottom and down one side, and qnilt
ed across from side to side at dis
tances of abont fourteen inches. The
hay is putin lightly and the remain
ing side sewed down. When tho hay
becomes limp hang the quilt before
the fire, and it soon becomes orisp
again. The warmth of these qnilts
cannot be realized except by those
who have tried them. In making
these quilts they should be made quite
as wide as the beds they are intended
to cover. They are equal in warmth
to two or three blankets.
Snch quilts are much used by the
peasantry in the Swiss mountains, who
appreciate the warmth they afford. —

STRAWBERRY BTTN PRESERVES.
It is a curious fact, but well known
both to scientftc folk and to experi
enced housewives, that the direct ac
tion of tho sun is at once surer and
more satisfactory than that of any
other known heat. So when we learn
it is a tradition of old Virginia cook
ery to preserve strawberries in the sun
in place of over the stove thero is lit
tle occasion for surprise, but only an
opportunity to realize how much those
famous cooks can teach us.
The berries treated after the follow
ing recipe are both richer and more
perfect than those prepared in any
other way. The object of the glass is
of course only that of concentrating
the heat, and the effect is not dissimi
lar to that known to every child who
has played at the old trick of burning
the skin by catching one of old Sol's
rays upon a bit of broken glass.
The peculiar purity of the sweetness
combined with the succulent redness
in this sun-cooked preserve gives a
suggestion of some oriental conserve.
The berries seem to be permeated with
the sun's sweetness in addition to their
own, and the syrup become rich, pure
and clear as syrup can be. The berry
retains its shape and comes unbroken
from the jar, which alone is cause suf
ficient for recommending this espe
cial preserve.
I trust enough has been said tom-
Bure « trial by every woman who loves
a toothsome dainty ; certainly those
who know the luxuries with which a
Virginia dame of the old school fills
her closet will realize how lucky she
is who finds these secrets out.
The Virginia rule requires three
quarters of a pound of sugar to a
pound of strawberries. The sugar is
mixed with jtifct enough water to wet
it and put onto boil. It is to be
taken off before it thickens and ponred
over the strawberries. Then the ber
ries are set in the sun two days,
covered with a pane of glass. They
are occasionally stirred.
On the third day pour off the syrup
and boil it again—it will be found
much thinned by the juice of the
fruit. Wliilo boiling drop in a lump
of alum the size of the tip of your lit
tle finger. Pour the hot syrup over
the berries and set in the sun again,
under glass. The next day pour all
into tho preserving kettle and boil
until tho berries plump up. Then
set in the sun again for a day. The
next morning seal the preserve iu
small jars with brandied paper on top.
Strawberries preserved in this man
ner never mold or ferment. They
are delicious for roll pudding, for
filling tarts, for layer cake and to
serve with glass custards, but most
toothsome of all with Old Dominion
"beaten buscuit."
SEASONABLE BtfCIPES.
Rhubarb Pudding—Butter a deep
dish and spread thickly with bread
citimbs; over this put a layer of rhu
barb, sliced but not peeled ; sprinkle
thickly with moist sugar and repeat
the layers until the dish is full, letting
the top layer be of crumbs and being
careful that the sides of the dish are
well lined with the same. Hake for an
hour, until well done.
Flame Pudding—Beat two ounces of
butter to a cream and add two of
sugar and two of flour, the yolks of
Ave eggs beaten, and the whites
whipped stiff ; flavor with grated lemon
peel and thicken to a batter with
crumbs of stale sponge cake. Boiling
in a mold for one hour and serve with
any nice pudding sauce, making a de
licious dish.—American Agriculturist.
Curried Veal—Slice one onion and
an apple anil put into a saucepan with
an ounce of butter and a clove or gar
lic ; stir until they become nicely
browned; add a tablespoonful of
curry powder and half as much flour;
when smooth pour in a pint of boil
ing water. Add two pounds of lean
veal cut in pieces an inch square;
simmer until tender, season with
lemon juice and salt, and serve with
rice on a separate dish.
Poached Eggs With Onions—
Variety in cooking is never more wel
come than in spriug. A very appetiz
ing lunch or supper dish is made by
frying half a dozen medium-sized
sliced onions iu a little butter, or
mixed butter and drippings, until
nicely browned. They should not be
reeking with fat when done, and what
little there is 011 them must be drained
off; season with salt and pepper; lay
on six poached eggs, sprinkle with a
very little cayenne and give just one
squeeze of lemon juice over the top.
A nice sauce to pour over poached
eggs is made by simmering four table
spoonfuls of any good gravy with four
of water and two of good vinegar;
season with' salt end pepper; stir in
very slowly, so as not to curdle, two
well-beaten yolks of eggs, and as soon
as it thickens pour over some poached
eggs. Do not allow the sauce to boil,
cr it will not be at its best.

One of Jay (jouid'i* Virtues.
Jay Gonlil had Lis faults, but ho
never forgot a friend. He was once,
while a young man, taken sick inaNew
Jersey town, and an old lady there
nursed him through the illness. lie
never forgot it, alway inquiring after
his benefactress, and on every possi
ble occasion reminded her substan
tially of her kindness. One time she
made up her mind to visit a daughter
in a distant place in the West, and set out
to save the money for the trip. A
few days before the day set she was
surprised to get an envelope contain
ing passes all the way there and back.
She never found out how Mr. Gould
learned of her intended trip.—New

ond ulceration of tho womb, but to-day, I
am enjoying perfect health.
I took four bottles of the ' Prescription'

Miss Mary J. Tanner, North Lawrence,
St. Lawrence Co., N. Y, writes: "I was
tick for four veal's. For two years I could
do no work. 1 had five different physicians,
who pronounced my case a poor or impov
erished condition of the blood, and uterine
trouble. I suffered a great deal with pain in
both sides, and much tenderness on pressing
over the womb. I bloated at times in my
bowels and limbs ; was troubled with leu
corrhea. I could not sleep, and was troub
led with palpitation of the heart. Suffered
a great deal of pain in my head, temples,
forehead and eyes. I had a troublesome
cough, raised a great deal and at times ex
perienced a good deal of pain in my chest
and lungs. My voice at times was very weak.
I suffered excruciating mouthly, periodical

Iho greatest natural wonder of
Hawaii, it' not in the entire world, is
Jjakc Dunn, or Dana Lake, a body of
molten lava ten miles in circumfer
ence. 'I'D the sightseer the surface of
this wonderful lake appears as if it
were a sea of red hot water dashing
ngainst the cliffs which surround it on
all sides to a height averaging 100
feet. J. J. Williams, of Honolulu,
who probably knows more about the
volcanic condition of the island than
any other living man, says that "this
rushing, restless, heaving lake of boil
ing fire never remains silent or calm
for a single instant." —St. Louis Re

Mrs. Alex. Robertson, of Half Rock, Mef
cer Co., Mo., writes : " For twenty yeara, I
suffered with womb disease and most of the
time T was in constant pnin which rendered
lifo a great burden, I cannot express what
I t-uffered. I had eight doctors and all the
medicine I liad from them failed— the one
after the other.
1 was nervous, cold hands and feet, palpita
tion, headache, backache, constipation, leu
corrhea and no appetite, with bearing-down
pains. 1 got so weak I could not walk
around. I had to keep my bed, thinking I
would never get any better.
One day my husband got one of your little
books ana read it to me. Ho said there was
nothing doing me any good. I said I would
try Dr. Pierce's Favorite. Prescription. I did
trv it. After the first few weeks ray appe
tite was better ; 1 was able to sit up in bed.
1 wrote to tho World's Dispensary Medical
Association, at Buffalo, N. Y., aud described
my case ; they sent mo a book on woman's
diseases. I read carefully and followed the
directions RS near as I could and took the
medicine for two ye.-.rs. With the blessing
of God and your medicines, 1 am entirely
cured. That'was three years ago."
