His Hack Up.
When Noah blew hfs horn, the camel
humped himself to get aboard, aud by u
curious freak he stayed humped all his life.

Oil lias the best cure for it been known.
Lumbago really disables, but St. Jacobs Oil

Tiie Wonderful Kava-Kava Shrub.
A Now Botanical Discovery.—Of
Spooial Interest to Sufferers from
Diseases of the Kidneys or Blad
der. Rheumatism, etc.—A Blessing
to Humanity.
A Free Gift of Great Value to You.
Our readers will be glad to know that
the new botanical discovery, Alkavis,
from the wonderful Kava-Kava shrub
has proved an assured cure for all dis
| casea caused by Uric
acid in the blood, or
BS .k° lan * stß Cft H
THKKAVA-KAVA SHi.cn and probably was
(Piper Methyatieum.) used for centuries
by the uativc3 before its extraordiuary
properties became known to civilization
through Christian missionaries.' In
this respect it resembles the discovery
of quinine from the peruvian bark,
made known by the Indians to the early
Jesuit missionaries in South America,
aud by them brought to civilized man.
It is a wonderful discovery, with a rec
ord of 1200 hospital cures in 30 days. It
acta directly upon the blood and kid
neys, aud is a true specific, just as qui
nine i 9 in malaria. We have the strong
est testimony of many ministers of the
gospel, well known doctors aud business
men cured by Alkavis, when all other
remedies had failed.
In the New York. Weekly World of Sept. 10th,
the testimony of Rev. W. B Moore. I). D., oi
Washington, I). C. was given, describing his
years of suffering from Kidney disease and
Rheumatism, and his rapid cure by Alkavis.
Rev. Thomas Smith, the Methodist minister at
Cobden, Illinois, passed nearly one hundred
gravel stones after two weeks' use of Alkavis.
Rev. John H. Watson, of Sunset.Texas, a minister
of the gospel of thirty years' service, was struck
down at his cost of duty by Kidney disease.
After hovering between life and death for two
mouths, and all his doctors having failed, he
took Alkavis, and was completely restored to
health and strength, aud is fill Oiling his duties as
minister of the gospel. Mr. R.C. Wood, a prom
inent attorney of Lowell. Indiana, was cured of
Rheumatism, Kidney and Bladder disease often
years standing, by Alkavis. Mr.Wood describes
himself as being in constant misery, often com
pelled to rise ten times during the night on
account of weakness of the bladder. He was
treated by all his home physicians without the
least benefit and finally completely cured in a
few weeks by Alkavis. The testimony is un
doubted and really wonderful. Mrs. Tames
Young, of Kent, Ohio, writes that she hod tried
six doctors iu vain, that she was about to give
up in despair, when she found Alkavis and was
promptly cured of kiduev disease and restored
to health. Many other ladies also testify to the
wonderful curative powers of Alkavis in the
various disorders peculiar to womanhood. .
So far the Church Kidney Cure Com
pany, No. 424 Fourth. Avenue, New
York, are the only importers of this
new remedy, and they are so anxious to
prove its value that for the sake of intro
duction they will send a free treatment
of Alkavis prepaid by mail to every
reader of this paper who is a Sufferer
from any form of Kidney or Bladder
disorder, Bright's Disease, Rheuma
tism, Dropsy, Gravel, Pain In Back,
Female Complaints, or other affliction
due to improper action of the Kidneys
or Urinary Orgaus. We advise all Suf
erers to send their names and address
to the company, and receive the Alkavis
free. It is 9ent to you entirely free, to
prove its wonderful curative powers.
THIN EGG SHELLS.
The Mediterranean breed of fowls
which are the most abundant egg pro
ducers are very apt to lay eggs with
thin shells. They must have abun
dance of gravel to grind their food
with cut bone to make the material
for both egg and shell. But usually
these breeds do not begin laying until
the weather is warm enough for them
to range and forage for themselves. If
the fowls are now laying thin-shelled
eggs they are probably of the Asiatic
breeds or those related to them, in
cluding Plymouth Rocks. In such
case it shows you have been giving too
much grain, fattening the fowls in
stead of increasing the egg product.
Because wheat is good egg-producing
food, it is often fed in too large quan
tity. Wheat is quite as fattening as
com, and should be fed lightly every
day, as a supplement to cut clover,
beet roots or other vegetable matter,
which should always form part of the
fowls' diet in winter.—Boston Cultiva
tor.
now SALT HELPS ASPARAGUS.
The New York Farmer takes excep
tion to the oft-repeated statement
that salt is necessary to asparagus, be
cause the plant in its wild state is
mostly found near the seashore, and
thrives where salt spray cau reach it.
The Farmer argues that this merely
proves that the salt is not injurious,
and per contra that the plant is suc
cessfully grown hundreds of miles in
land, and that without the use of salt.
While this may and does show that
salt is not absolutely necessary to
grow asparagus, it cannot prove that
it is not useful. The salt may not be
a constituent of the asparagus plant,
yet it may help its growth in other
ways. If applied heavily it will check
or destroy weed growth, while not in
juring the asparagus plants, which
have been for thousands ol years sub
ject to showerings from salt sea spray.
But in smaller doses the salt will help
make soil fertility more available, for
salt is one of the best solvents known.
Asparagus does best on very rich soil.
If made 60 with stable manure much
of this manure takes a long time to
get into condition for plant use.
Hence on general principles salt ought
to be applied iu small amounts to
gardens or other rich soil for nearly
all crops. It helps the soil hold
moisture by attracting it from the air.
The beet croi) is especially helped by
salt.
PLENTY OF AIR FOP. COWS.
The supply of fresh air mu9t be a
constant one, but the means by which
it is obtained must in some way be
controlled, so there will always be
enough and never a great excess. We
know of no self-regulating arrange
ment for accomplishing this. It can
only be accomplished by constant and
careful attention. Whether the air be
admitted through windows and doors
or through specially constructed ven
tilating shafts is immaterial, provided
it is admitted and care is exercised
that no animal shall bo rendered un
comfortable by standing in a draught.
It should also bo borne in mind that
fresh air will enter most readily on the
windward side with an opening for
the outward blow of second-hand air
on the opposite side. Each mature
cow needs not less thau 3200 cubic
inches of new air every minute. This
is 2600 cubic feet in the twenty-four
hours, and the supply must bo con
stant. She cannot get a day's supply
during the few minutes she may be in
the open air getting the water she
needs. Neither cau she get it during
the day and then be sealed up for the
night to constantly use the same sup
ply. She can drink enough in five
minutes and eat enough in two hours
to satisfy her needs for a day, bat fif
teen or eighteen times a minute, 900
times an hour, she must have her sup
ply of fresh air. And this each hour
in the day, and each day of her life.—
F. L. Russell, Yeterinariau, Maine, in
Massachusetts Ploughman.
INDISPENSABLE FOR THE KITCHEN GARDEN.
At this time of ordering Heeds for
the kitchen garden, says Alice E. Piu
ney, in the American Agriculturist, it
is a good plau to have a few of these
indispensable plants which need so
little space, and so little care, and are
really among the must haves. Already
you aro longing for some horse-radish,
but how few farmers have it in their
gardens. There may be one man in a
neighborhood who raises it, and if you
hint pretty strong he may give you a
few roots, enough for one grating;
but when the whole neighborhood
hints he will doubtless have to cease
taking the hints. • If he gives you any
roots this year, you had better plant
them, and it might be a good invest
ment for you to buy a few. It would
be as profitable as buying the small
cans all prepared from your grocer.
If you want to avoid smarting eyes,
put on your wraps aud sit out on the
veranda to grate it. In the open air
the work is not at all troublesome.
Another early spring relish, which
need not to be planted in the garden,
but will grow equally well on the
waste ground beside pigsty, farmyard,
etc., is the Jerusalem artichoke. When
dug early, before anything ot the
kind can be grown, they taste fresh and
crisp, and when sliced and seasoned
with salt, pepper and vinegar, they
are almost as niee as cucumbers. Sage
is a very usoful herb and one that is
often conspicuous by its absence from
the garden. Yet it is one of the must
haves for seasoning dressing for roast
turkey, chickens or sausage, and is
very nice sprinkled over fresh pork or
veal. It is also necessary as a medi
cine in the family. This, like horse
radish, is a handy thing to borrow if
a neighbor is willing to lend out with
hopes of no return, or it may be
bought at the grocery. Yet like the
prepared horse-radish, it is usually
adulterated and lacks strength. Don't
neglect to order a package of seed to
60w a short row in your garden, and
you will be surprised at the result.
For it requires very little care, and
can be cut several times in one season,
and will live several years. Thi*
would be a good money crop for some
enterprising woman to raise, as she
could easily tend it, aud the fresh
dried leaves unadulterated would lind
a ready market alter once introduced
in that form, under a particular brand.
Every kitchen, garden or yard
should boust of at least one bop vine,
which, when properly trained, is very
ornamental and will yield enough hops
for family use yearly.
A short row or currant bushes will
be a good investment and furnish you
with sauce for your holiday dinners,
as well as jelly and jam. And il
your crop is a good one, you will have
no use for lemons, for crushed cur
rants make a very delicious drink in
warm weather, and when prepared
like grape juice, will keep for some
time.,
MILKING QUALITY OP BREEDERS.
We hear very little said about the
milk producing capacity of any kind
of animal except the cow, whose milk
is in this country the only kind much
used by man. But in parts of Europe
too rough or too poor to support cows,
the milk of the goat and sheep is very
largely used. As milked by the human
hand, and possibly given better care
and feed than they get vhile running
wild, both goat and sheep develop
greatly increased milking capacity. In
Arabia and among the Tartars the milk
from mares does not go long to suckle
the colt, which is quickly partly
weaned, while a portion of the supply
from his dam is diverted to making
the Koumyse, drink that has valuable
nutritive qualities, and which is made
by fermenting mare's milk.
It is probably true that the highest
excellence for both milk and fat pro
duction cannot be combined in one
animal. Therefore, in such animals
as the hog, kept mainly to bo fattened
and killed, there is a constant ten
dency as improvement in fastening
qualities increases to deteriorate the
milk producing capacity. For this
reason, except for the breeding of
pure bred stock, the dam should be of
grade or native stock, and be chosen
rather with regard to her milk produ
cing capacity than for anything else.
The very best bred sows are poor
breeders. 'lbey will drop litters of
scrawny pigs, with probably half of
them decided runts. On the other
hand, a pure bred male of almost any
of the improved breeds, crossed with
a long bodied full grown BOW, will get
a litter that will be large and have
scarcely a runt in it. Such pigs will
be thrifty from birth, because their
dam, if fairly well bred, will have a
good supply of milk. The value of a
sow for breeding is very largely de
cided by the number of teats she has.
This varies from six or eight to twenty
or perhaps more. We have grown lit
ters of fifteen and have heard of those
still larger. Of course the sow cannot
long supply all of these with their en
tire ration, but the better milk supply
she ha 9 the better the pigs will thrive.
All horse breeders know that there
is a great difference in mares as to milk
production. Here the activity and
uervous energy which enhance value
in the animal for human use are also
compatible with the highest capacity
for milk. Some of the best trotting
mares have when bred excellent dams
in this respect. The food of the horse,
which is mainly of the kinds best cal
culated to produce strength, is also !
for the same reason best calculated to
increase the milk flow. No other grain
is quite so good to make a large milk
flow as oats, aud this is the staple
grain feed of the horse in most coun
tries.—American Cultivator.
A Remarkable Whale Story*
A curious story, which comes from
Caen, is told by the Paris correspon
dent of the London Morning Post. A.
M. Dnbosq was duck-shooting at the
mouth of the River Orne when a whale
rose near his boat. He fired both
barrels of his gun into the animal,
which dived. The water being very
shallow, the whale soon rose again,
whereupon M. Dubosq jumped upon
its back aud began stabbing it with a
large knife. He was tossed into the
sea, but returned to the attack and
finally succeeded in driving the whale
ashore. M, Dubosq has eold his cap
ture to a company, and it has been
towed to Caen. It is fifteen years
since a whaie was captured on this
part of the French coast.
California Fruit Pioneer.
Californians are trying to place on
record who and what part of the State
started the great business of fruit
raising. So far the evidence seems
to be in favor of a Mr. Wolfskill, who
planted eighty acres of apricots and
peaches and 6000 grapes iu the towu
of Winters, in Selena County, in 1851. j
In 1855 the first apricots from these
trees were sold.—Pittsburg Dispatch,

Chicago Tribune: The Secretary of a
railroad company in Indiana has re
ceived a remittance from a mau who
found he had unconsciously cheated
the company out of half-fares for his
daughter for three years because he
thought she was entitled to rhle free.
Fie fixed the amount of this reimburse
ment by computing the number of miles
she rode and basing the fare at three
cents a mile. This is an exhibition of
scrupulous honesty on a point which
usually tempts man to compromise
with conscience. It Is one of the tradi
tional frailties of mankind that a child
is not permitted to reach the half-fare
age until subjected to duress or threats
of violence. It is regarded as an evr-!
deuce of superior acumen and even vir
tue for the young person to be smug
gled through a trip without any reccm-!
pense to the corporation, and this epi
sode in Indiana cannot be accounted!
for by any precedents that are extant.
Perhaps it is a ruse of the company to|
suggest to others similar restitution of
withheld fares, but if that 6e the cast?
it is safe to predict that the ruse will be
a failure.

FIBROID TUMOR
Expelled by Lydia E. Pinkham'3
Vegetables Compound.
Interview With Mm. 11. A. Lombard.
I have reason to think that I would
not be here now if it had not been for
Lydia E. I'inkham's Vegetable Com
pound. It cured me of a fibroid tumor
in my womb.
Doctors could do nothing forme, and
they could not cure me at the hospital.
I will tell you about it:
I had been in my usual health, but
had worked quite hard. When my
monthly period came on, I flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine, I
but it did me no good. He said the |
flow must be stopped if possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was a Fibroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave, me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time a lady
called on me. and recommended Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
said she owed her life to it. I
said I would try it, and did. Soon
after the flow became more natural and
regular. I still continued taking the
Compound for some time. Then the
doctor made an examination again,
and found everything all right. The
tumor had passed away and that dull
ache was gone.—Mrs. B. A. Lombard,
