The only real safeguard against small pox is vaccination and that vaccination is necessary is proved by the prevalence of small-pox the country over. People who handle money, or receive mail are not free from the danger of being infect ed with the germs of small pox. The processes of fumigation are not absolute and neither are they so positive that the assurance of safety can be entertained. In vaccination is found practical im munity from the dangers which threaten and at the present juncture the safety of the public depends entirely upon the thoroughness with which the people vaccinate. Small-pox is one of those contagious diseases that spread with rapidity once it does get going and everyliody should be concerned in an effort to stop the onward march of a dreaded malady which is no respecter of persons—unless those persons have been vaccinated. If today every person within a radius of five hundred miles were vaccinated, three weeks from to day there would be no cases of small pox. Something That Will Do You Good. We know of no way in which we can l>e of more service to our readers than to tell them of something that will be of real good to them. For this reason we want to acquaint them with what we consider one of the very best remedies on the market for coughs, colds, and that alarming complaint, croup. We r«- fer to Chamberlain's Coughßeindy. We have used it with such good results in our family so long that it has become a household necessity. By its prompt use we haven't any doubt but that it has time and again prevented croup. The testimony is given upon our own exper ience. and we suggest that our readers especially those who have small child ren, always keep it in their homes as a safeguard against croup.— Camden (8. C.)

Lent begins on February 12, one week from tomorrow, and Roman Catholics of the city are preparing to observe it in a spirit of penitence, renouncing pleas ure and partaking of humble living during the holy season. The observance of this special church season, which is of more than ordinary significance, will be along the following lines: All the week days of Lent are days of fasting on one meal with a moderate collation in the evening. All the days of Lent are of abstinence from meat. By dispensation, however, the use of meat is allowed without restriction on Sundays, and once a week on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat urdays except on the Saturday of Em ber week and the Saturday of Holy week. The use of eggs, butter and cheese, at the collation, provided the quantity pre scribed by the fast be complied with, is by general custom tolerated in this country. Lard and dripping may be used in preparing fish and vegetables. Strict observance of Lent along all these lines cannot be required of every one for obvious reasons, and the fol lowing persons are exempt from the obligation of fasting. Young persons under twenty-one years of age, the aged, the sick, the nursing women, those who are obliged to do hard labor, and all who through weakness cannot fast with out prejudice to their health. Persons dispensed from the obliga tion of fasting on account of tender or advanced age, or hard labor are not bound by the restrictions of using meat only at one meal on days on which it is granted by dispensation. The Episcopalians of Danville are al so preparing to observe the Lenten sea son with services and fasting. Mr, Wheeler Got Hid of His Rheumatism.

SAMUEL GULICK ON THE STAND Bears Up Well as He Tells the Stcry of His Son's Unnatural Crime- The trial of John Gulick for the lnnr ; der of his mother and brother began yes -1 terday afternoon. The jury was select 'edat a session of court held Tuesday ; evening. The aged father of the mur derer, the only eyewitness of the awful ; tragedy, was placed upon the stand about two o'clock. The fatherly old man bowed under the weight of years and sorrow was a pitiful object. Yet he stood the ordeal remarkably well and ' told the story of the double murder, dif fering in no respects from his testimony before the coroner and as printed in THE NEWS at the time. The trial of Jacob Gerliardt for the murder of his wife is not yet completed. The taking of testimony was temporari ly suspended yesterday at noon for the two fold purpose of giving some very important witnesses time to arrive and to enable Samuel Gulick to testify, who is likely to break down at any time. •James Scarlet, Esq., of this city, is leading attorney for Gerliardt.

Lunger of 11 Church street, says:"l suffered so much from pain in my back that I could not sleep nights. The pain over my hips was con tinuous and when on my feet it was one ' steady gnawing ache. It, hurt me to do anything requiring bending over, and the sharp twinges would catch me so suddenly that I had to brace my back against something until they stopped. The kidney secretions annoyed me and headaches accompanied the backache. I read about Doan's Kidney Pills and in the statements of those who had been cured the symptoms were so much like mine that, my husband procured a box for me.

"Of course I'm the baggageman." "You was a-runnin' this car when'we hed a weddln' an' a weddin' tower/ all to ouct," replied the farmer. "You don't mean it!"

Is the question with farmers at the present prices, and no two farmers will agree on just how to produce it, as there may be various ways that will answer equally well, says an Indiana farmer in National Stockman. Hut the cheapest way is the main point to consider. We believe good judgment, knowledge gained from actual experience, is as profitable to ttie breeder as the feed tie has on hand. First use healthy, strong mothers, good nurses, If you want growtby pigs. Do away with the offensive swill bar rel and give pure sweet or fresh slops made of ground wheat two parts, ground oats one part, cornmeal one part, mixed with milk, to the sow. It gives her splendid nourishment for the growing pigs. We do not believe In feeding this too strong just before or after farrowing, as it forces too much milk into the udder and causes a diar rhea in the pigs. Give the sow and pigs plenty of sun shine and exercise and feed the sow light for ten days after farrowing. After that time increase to full feed and give liberally of charcoal and ash es mixed with soda. A teaspoonful for every two pigs gives the sow good ap petite and frees both sow aml pigs of worms. A little salt may be added, but salt should be used sparingly, though regularly. When the pigs are at least four weeks old, prepare a sep arate run for them and feed cracked corn and slop of the same mixture as given the sow when pigs were farrow ed. Feed tlie sows liberally all along and have plenty of <lover pasture for the hogs and pigs Throughout the life of the pigs. This is cheap and healthful. As soon as fruit falls from wind turn them into tlie orchard and feed corn as soon as it Is in good roasting ears, and you will have the pigs in fine shape for heavy feeding at a small cost and hogs that will surprise you when you weigh them up. One point should never be overlooked—give the hogs free access to water at all times and breed noth ing but good blood from pedigree stock. Dividing Miter* of IMg». It is safe to say that this is seldom done In tlie management of farm herds, yet it can often be done with success and profit, says J. M. Jamison In Na tional Stockman. To make a success In this matter the sows must be bred to farrow as near the same time as possible. It is a well known fact that soon after a pig gets well started lie j takes one of the teats and sticks to j it till weaned. However, this selection i does not prevent him from stealing from his near fellows if they will allow it. How many days after birth a pig makes this choice I aui unable to say. I have heard It stated that they do It at eight days old, but I cannot verify it by observation. My impression is that they do It sooner than this. If they did not, all the teats of a sow would flow milk for that length of time, which I think they do uot. 1 have come to the conclusion that It is not safe to give a sow pigs from other litters after her own are three days old. The HrppilinK Sow. To start successfully iu the breed ing of plgg care must be taken to see that the sow comes from a mother which Is an easy feeder and a good nurse, and care should also be taken to see that she lias not been stunted iu the earlier stages of her growth for want of enougli to keep lier in comfort, says an English writer. These points are absolutely essential. What breed to work on will depend mainly on in dividual taste and judgment. She should not be bred from so early as to injure her own growth or the vital ity of her offspring. If her first litter Is fairly numerous—say from seven to ten good pigs—and she nurses them well, that Is a sow to retain as long as she Is fit to breed. Such a sow, prop erly managed, will bear and nurse twenty pigs in a season and pay her way with a good profit on all the skill and food she gets. The Economical Pif£. Pigs are able to make much more effective use of the foods with which they are supplied than any other class of farm animals. Experiments have shown that, while the pig is capable of laying on flesh at the rate of one pound for every five pounds to seven pounds of dry food which It consumes, cattle require to eat from ten pounds to twelve pounds and sometimes from fourteen pounds to fifteen pounds of dry food for every one pound of in crease in weight that they show. Sweeten the Sljeil*. DoiTt forget or delay lo the sheep sheds in and out a coat of hot llniewash, adding to it enougli carbolic 1 acid to make it smell perceptibly. Large sheds should have the earth floor turned over by a plow and then rolled, says American Sheep Breeder. A sprinkling of fine plaster, sin h as is often used as a fertilizer and by plas terers for hard finish, will neutralize all odor and sweeten the floor. Above all other things, tit up the water troughs in good time and carry off the waste so as to keep the approaches to them dry and free from ice. Demnnd l r or Angorni.

The eastern farm \ ers have just commenced to learn that the Angora will clean the brush off the farm and allow the blue grass to grow. ! Cattle do not object to feeding with the goats, e>o the farmer feeds two lota of animals on the same land. President Roosevelt is to be present ed with a thoroughbred Arabian steed. !
