"My wife sprained her ankle ten years ago. It apparently got well to all outward appear ance, it being a littlo larger than the other ankle, but in a few months three sores broke out on her knee, her ankle, and foot. They became Large Running Ulcers and the doctor could not do anything to help. I then took my wife to the hospital and the surgeons scraped all the flesh round tho sores, and Baid they would get well. They almost healed up, but soon two little specks came, one on each side of the first sore. The doctors said they would not amount to any thing, but in a few days they turned out to bo more ulcers, and in a short time they had eaten into the original sore and made a large wound.

Grit is as essential to the health of fowls as teeth are to the human being. It fulfils the same otilce by grinding up the food and aiding digestion. If the gizzard of a perfectly healthy fowl be examined it will be found to contain a liberal supply of grit or gravel, thereby presenting a striking contrast to the gritless gizzard of a sick bird. A failure to grind up the food properly is responsible for indi gestion, bowel trouble*and congested liver. The food gets sour, clogs up the passage and, if not relieved, death ensues. Keep your birds liberally supplied with grit at all times.- New York World. BRAN FROM CORN MEAL. In the preparation of fine corn meal for the market, tho tough skins of the kernels are sifted out in the form of corn bran, which comprises one-eighth of the weight of the shelled corn ground in the mill. The ohemical analysis of corn bran, by G. L. Teller, of the Arkansas Station, shows that it contains eleven per cent, of nitrogen ous mutter, while the whole corn con tains over nine per cent, and the bolted com flour nine per cent. The amount of fat is nearly doubled in the bran, being 8} per cent, on account of the oil in the seed coats. The corn bran contains a higher percentage of crude protein aud ash, four times as much fiber, but less water and much less starchy matter. This analysis in dicates that corn bran has a food value nearly equal to that of wheat bran, though tho stiffness of the seed coats render the maize bran less palatable for use as a single food. Being less nitrogenous than wheat bran, but con taining more fat, corn bran forms a very useful addition to ground wheat or rye, or to middlings, cottcnseed meal and ground peas. As a part of a mixed dairy ration, corn bran is better than cornmeal. American Agriculturist. FISH ON THE FARM. Every farmer who can should prac tice the culture of fish, if it is only that of the carp. The inland parts of this va6t country are necessarily de prived of the ocean fish, and must de pend on a supply from fresh water. And there is water enough in the lakes, great and small, und the rivers and brooks, to produce an ample supply for every family. If it can be done, the best kinds, as trout or bass, should be grown. But otherwise there is nothing the matter with carp or perch. Carp is a fast-growing fish, and quickly reaches a weight of three or four pounds. It is a far better fish than the well-known sucker, aud this is gladly made a substitute for better ones wherever they abound. Any small stream, the flow from some swamp, if gathered into a pond by digging it out, or the ordinary drainage from some higher land into a puddled basin, will make a good carp pond. This fish will live in water that warms up to eighty degrees in the summer, and will feed on the roots and stems of any kind of aquatic plants that grow in such water. So that a low dam to retain the water, a muddy bottom, in which tho fish bury themselves to pass the winter in a dor mant condition, and plenty of aquatic vegetation—as the water grasses, water cress on the shallow borders; water lilies, and the yellow caltha, the marsh marigold, the leaves of which make a pleasant table vegetable in the spring—wili together afford abundant feeding for the fish, which are wholly vegetarian in their food. The fish will eat small pellets of bread or dough, and will como to the hand for such food, aud may thus be easily taken out with a hand net, for as they will rarely take a hook unless with- such bait as this, they are not always to be got when wanted.—New York Times. WIDE TIRES FOR WHEELED VEHICLES. The narrow tires in common use on farm wagons are very injurious to the Burface of the country roads, either outting it into deep ruts, or grinding it into dust as the weather varies. The width of the tire should increase with the weight of the load ; for whatever injuries the road surfaoe increases the draft by this very act. Long, practi cal experience has caused city vehicles to have wide tires, for use on stone, macadam and asphalt paving. That wide tires are also the most economi cal for use on the roads around the farm and across the fields is shown by the experiments at the Ohio State University in which the draft of the narrow tires averaged nearly double that of the wide tires. The traction pull was measured by strong coiled spring with an indicator scale, similar to a spriag balance. Tlris dynamome ter was placed between the doubletree and the tongue bolt of an ordinary farm wagon loaded to nearly five thou sand pounds. The draft with three-inch tires on n dry, hard earth road was 254 pounds, on a meadow 468 pounds, while on freshly plowed land it was 771 pounds. With a two-inch tire these figures were nearly doubled on the softer ground. For every one thousand pounds of his live weight, a horse can draw 150 pounds, so thnt on soft ground the above load was too heavy fort-he avor agn span of horses, though the great saving effected by wide tires was ap parent. 'ike uauai width oi the tires on the farm wagon is well adapted to driving with little or no load, over a good road; bnt with a heavy load the road anrfaee ia badly ent up, especi ally in wet weather. For heavy haul* ing on the road or farm, ac extra set of wide tired wheels can now be bought at a low priee, or removable wide tires can be used.—New York Independent. CARINO FOB FARM HORSES. The first thing in the morning the horses are given hay ; then the horses are curried, every one that iB in the stable, and all are stabled six months in the year. The colts are brushed over a little and manes and tails straightened out. The work horses are thoroughly cleaned. This much is done before breakfast every day in the year. Plenty of bed ding is used to keep horses comforta ble and clean. The last thing before going to breakfast the horses are given their grain. This shortens the time between morning and noon feeds. Oive a horse a chance to eat hay a while and he will eat the grain more slowly. If the horses are to work, after breakfast they are harnessed and watered, after which the work is pro ceeded with. As I never bring horses from the field too warm to water, at noon they are watered, fed hay and grain before going to dinner. I want nothing to hurry me after dinner as I usnally sit and read a while. The horses are watered again before going to work in the aiternoon. At night they are watered, and in warm weather, if mnch sweaty, are un harnessed and washed all over betore going to the stable, and during warm weather they are washed about twice a week whether they are sweaty or not. And if not washed they are cur ried as soon as brought in as they are usually drier then than they will be in half an hour. (Shoulders are washed twice a day when washing.) Are fed hay. Qrain is given after supper. During warm weather thoy are watered and turned out just before dark in a small pasture near the barn where they are handy to get in the morning. They usually come for calling. Horses like this kind of treatment and if well feci they have no objections to work. One mare I got not long since was a cranky, ill dispositioned thing and a bother to catch. Now she will come when called, seems in a good humor all the time and is always ready to do what is wanted. I always keep my horses fat, it takes no more grain and if it did they should have it. There may be some dayß the heat bothers the fat horse, but then I want to stop sometimes my self in a hot day. I had rather hold back a fat horse a few hot days thun to tail up a poor one the rest of the year ' Every one admires a fat horse, while no one wants a poor one, and a fat horse will live much longer than a poor one. A horse's main comforts are plenty to eat and drink and a comfortable place to stay during inolement weath er, so don't neglect these.—Farm, Field and Fireside. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. The business of horse dentistry is one attracting more and more atten tion. To make a sow a good milker breed her early and do not give her muoh fattening food. If yon are going to buy or sell any bees this year, the time to do it is be fore the warm weather wakes them up. It is a fact worth considering that fowls that have a liberal allowance of green bone seldom have the dumps and get siek. Take the best care of the sows that are due to farrow. See that they do not lay on too much fat and thus de stroy their pigs. When you mix up the morning mash of bran, ground oats, etc., putin a gill of ground flaxseed. It will, help tone aud smooth them up. A cow may not know the difference between a good milk-forming diet and a poor one, but her lacteal system makes a sharp distinction in the mat ter every time. Do up now all the jobs of mending pasture, fences, gates, stiles and lot inclosures that will be needed when the grass grows. Yon will gain many days of time thus. Eggs are still in great demand. The "closed" season for eggs is rather : longer than nsual this trip. Nothing 1 but continued moderate weather will ! set the hens laying now. In the season wheu lambs are com ing thick and fast, it is a good plan to keep hot stones on hand to warm them in oase they are chilled and their mothers do not own them. Do you raise calves from your best cows only. If your best cows make $lO a year more than your poorest cows, this is fire per cent, interest on 8200. The National Nurseryman suggests that originators turn their attention toward the improvement of the black berry and raspberry in the line of re ducing the size of the seeds. Don't try to winter your fowls by feeding in troughs or throwing their grain feed on the bare floor where they can readily pick it up. Have a heavy litter of straw for them to scratch in and let them hunt for wheat and corn. The moat successful poultry breed ers separate pullets and cockerels as soon as they are half grown- They develop better and in all respects do better. A few quarrelsome cockerels disturb the peace of a whole yard of fowls. If you have occasion to introduce new stook into your flock, it would be well to place the strangers in quaran tine for a few' days, using insect pow der freely, and a little keroseno in spots most likely to be lousey.

For Humanity'* Sake, After Thirty-nil Year* of Nerve-Creeping Slavery, He Tell* How He Wa* Set Free. Caldwell, N. J., March 20. 1895.—(Spocial.) —Since one of our promlueut citizens suf fered so terribly from tobacoo tremens, lias made known Ills frightful experience in bo half of humanity, the ladies here are making tobacco-using husbands' lives miserable with their entreaties to at once quit tobaoco. The written statement of S. J. Gould Is attracting wide-spread attention. When Interviewed to-night he said : "I commenced using tobacco at thirteen; I am now forty nine; so, for thirty-six years I chewed, smoked, snuffed and rubbed snuff. In the morning I chewed before I put my pants on, and for a long time I used two ounces of chewing and eight ounces of smoking a day. Sometimes I had a chew In both checks and a pipe in my mouth at once. Ten years ago I quit drinking whiskey. I tried to stop to baeoo time and again, but could not. My nerves oraved nicotine and I fed them till my skin turned a tobacco-brown, cold, sticky perspiration oozed from ray skin, and tnokled down my back at the least exer tion or excitement. My nervo vigor and my life was being slowly sapped. I made up my mind that I had to quit tobacco or die. On October 1 I stopped, and for three days I suffered tho tortures of the damned. On the third day I got so bad that my partner accused rae of being drunk. 1 said, 'No. I have quit tobacco.' 'For God's sake, man,' he said, offering me his tobacco box, 'take a chew; you will go wild;' and I was wild. Tobacco was forced into me and I was taken home dazed. I saw double aud my memory was beyond control, but I still knew how to chew and smoke, which I did all day, until toward night, when my system got tobacco soaked again. Tho next morning I looked and felt as though I had been through a long spell of sickness. I gave up in despair, as I thought that I could not cure myself. Now, for suffering humanity, I'll tell what saved my life. Providence evidently answered my good wife's prayers and brought to her at tention in our paper an article which read: 'Don't Tobauco Spit and Smoke Your Life Away!' "What a sermon and warning in these words! Just what I was doing. It told about a guaranteed cure for the tobacco habit, called No-To-Bac. I sent to Druggist Hasler for a box. Without a grain of faith I spit out my tobacco cud, and put into my mouth a little tablet upon which was stamped No-To-Bac. I know it sounds like a lie when I tell you that I took eight tablets the first day, seven the next, five the third day, and ail the nerve-creeping feeling, rest lessness and mental depression was gone. It was too good to be true. It seemed like a dream. That was a month ago. I used one box. It cost me one dollar, and it is worth a thousand. I gained ten pounds in weight and lost all desire for tobacco the first day. I sleop and eat well, aud I have been bene fited in more ways than I can tell. No, the cure was no exception in my case. I know of ten people right hero in Caldwell who have bought no No-To-Bac from Hasler, and they have been cured. Now that I realize what No-To-Bac has done for me and others, I know why it is that the makers of this wonderful remedy, the Sterling Itemedy Company, of New York and Chicago, say: 'We don't claim to cure every case. That's Fraud's talk, a lie, but we do guarantee three boxes to cure the to bacco habit, aud In caso of failure we are perfectly willing to refund money.' I would not give a public indorsement if I were not cortain of its reliability. 1 know it is backed by men worth a million. No-To-Bac has been a God-send to me, and I firmly believe It will cure uny case of tobacco using if faith fully tried, aud there are thousands of to bacco sluves who ought to know how easy it is to get free. There's happiness in No-To- Bae fortbe prematurely old meu, who think as I did that they are old and worn out, when tobacco is the thing that destroys their vital ity and manhood.'' The publio should be warned, however, against the purchase of any of the many imi tations on the market, as the success of No- To-Bao has brought forth a hoe of counter feiters and Imitators. The genuine No-To- Bac Is sold under a guarantee to oure, by all druggists, and every tablet has the word No- To-Bao plainly stamped thereon, and vou run no physical or financial risk iu purchas ing the ireuuhie article. La»t ol the Trlbcx of Powhatan. The triboa of Powhatan, aa fonnd bj John Hmith, worn firmer* and flaher*, dwelling in fixed habitation*. They relies mainly for their support upon agriculture, their most important crop being corn. From the marshes they obtained wild rice and "tuckaho," the tubers of the latter being used for making bread. They took fish in nets woven of vegetable ilbro or iu weirs made of twisted stalks of weeds. Their fish-hooks wero of bone, bat they knew how to shoot fish with arrows. Their 'os, hollowed out of logs, were sometimes fifty feet long and capable of carrying forty men. Their houses were from thirty-five to fifty feet long, covered with bark or mats. The fire, produced by twirl ing a pointed stick in a holo in u block of wood, was in the centre of the cnb in, around the sides of which was a low platform, covered with mats or skins, on which the inmates sat or lay. Outside the door was a huge mortar, dug out of a log, for grinding corn. The summer diess of adults was a breech-cloth or short apron. To this was added in winter a mantel of deer skin or of turkey-feathers. The wo men and children did all the work, while the men ate, slept, or danced, when not engaged in the chase or iu war. As soon as their corn was gathered in the fall, they went up into tho hill sonntry to hunt. This brought them Into collision with other tribes and gave rise to constant wars. A small remnant of the once-power ful confedracy of Powhatau exists to day about twenty miles from Rich mond, Va. The peoplo composing this last remaining fragment of a great nation call themselves Paiuunkey. They dwell on a reservation of 800 acrss known as "Indiantown." They get their living in true aboriginal ityle by bunting and fishing. Farm ing they do on a small scale, though they do not like it, and often hire oolored peoplo to attend to their truck-patches. They are very proud. 11l of them are Baptists, tho whole number of individuals being about 110. They are not taxed, but pay an an nual tribute by presenting to the Oovernor of Virginia a number of wild lucks or other game.—New York Post. Caterpillars and Snails Stop Trains. A train in Russian Turkestan was recently stopped by oater pillars. Near Kiew an army of these creatines ivas crossing the track, making a bee .ine for the nearost gardens, whero it was their intention to have a good Jime stripping tho young vegetables of their leaves. Whon the train struck the mass the wheels crushed them into paste; but before it had made much progress they began to slip iu tho greasy Btuff and the train came to a standstill. Another locomotive had to be sent for to get the cars away from the slaughtered innocents. Mean while, it ss said that the uninjured saterpillars stood up by the side of the track and made faces at tho engi neer. It will be remembered that sorao Western traius in this country had a similar experience with grass hoppers during tho last plague of these insects. In Algeria they have to keep a sharp lookout for snails, for the same rea son. Only a short timo ago, on the lino from Sonk to Arba-Bizerte, a train was detained forty minutes by these creatures, which had come out in myriads during a rainy period, just preceding, and literally covered the track. This accident probably could happen nowhere but in Northern Airica, where snails are so abundant that they often constitute as serious a plague as do the locusts. They climb the trees and shrubs by thousands, crawl out on the smallest twigs and hang therefrom like bunches of grapes. It is not known whether they are of the edible variety; if so, tho Algerians should not want for delicate food dur ing tho opeu season.—New York World.

AN ALARMING STATEMENT CONCERNING WOMEN. HOW BAD HABITS ARB FORMED. The New York Tribune says:"The habit of taking 4 headache powders' is increasing; to an alarming extent among a great number of wo men throughout the country. These powders as their name indicates, are claimed by the manu facturers to be a positive and speedy cure for any form of headache. In many cases their chief ingredient is morphine, opium, cocaine or some other equally injurious having a tendency to deaden pain. The habit of taking them (s easily formed, but almost impossible to shake off. Women usually begin takiug them to re lieve a raging headache and soon resort to the powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they may be subjected to, and finally like the mor phine or opium fiend, get into the habit of taking them regularly, imagining that they are in paiu if they happen to miss their regular dose." In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is in the stomach and liver. Take a simple laxative and liver tonic and remove the offending matter which deranges the stomach and causes the headache. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are composed entirely of the purest, concentrated, vegetable extracts. One Pellet is a dose; sugar-coated, easily swallowed; once used, always in favor . They posi tively cure sick headache and remove the disposition to it. Mr. K. VARGASON, of Otter Lake. Lapeer Co., §Mich. % writes: 44 1 not infrequently have an at tack of the headache. It usually coines on in the forenoon. At my dinner I eat my regular meal, aud take one or two of Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets imme diately after, and in the course of au hour iny headache is cured and no bad effects.
