Catarrh Cannot he Cured
With local applications, as they cannot reach
the sent of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or
constitutional disease, and in order to cure it
you must take internal remedies. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts di
rectly on the blood and mucous surface. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was
prescribed by one of tno best physicians in
this country for years, and is a regular pre
scription. It is composed of the best tonics
known, combined with the best blood puri
fiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two ingredi
ents is what produces such wonderful results
in curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials, tree.

Sunshine and Light For Poultry.
Poultry abhor darkness. Sunlight
is more agreeable to theux thau dark
poultry houses, and they would rather
endure cold with sunlight than warmth
with darkness. Dark poultry houses
are nearly always damp, and are fruit
ful sources of disease in winter time.
There should always be a good-sized
window in each; about a fourth of the
front should be glass. Too much
glass is to be avoided and the reasons
are obvious.
Crops as Manure.
Using crops for manure does not
bring in quick returns, but it pays.
Such crops as turnips, rye, buckwheat
and crimson clover assist in reducing
the plant food in the soil and making
it possible for the crops the succeed
ing year to utilize the plant food
plowed under in the manure crop.
All soils contain unavailable matter
that the farmer needs. There are
crops that do not have the power to
break down the chemical compounds
existing in the soils, but there are
other crops which have a partiality
for some substances which are beyond
the ability of plants of a different
kind. One crop may be preparatory
for another, hence the plowing un
der of a crop is not a loss, but a gain.
In England the turnips are regarded
as a renovator of the soil, and the seed
is broadcasted over tho surface, sheep
being allowec\ access to the turnips
after they have matured. The tur
nips can feed on almost anything in
tho soil, and when eaten by sheep the
gain of mutton and manure givo the
farmer a profit, but the English
farmer attaches as much value to the
increased fertility of his soil as he
does to the product which he markets
therefrom. It may be urged, as some
have done, that green crops can add
no mineral matter to the soil other
than it takes therefrom, which is true;
but such crops render- the mineral
matter available for the next season.—
farmers' Journal.
Scattering Weed Seeds.
In putting down the weeds tho first
Sssential thing is to stop the scatter
ing of the seeds. In the late summer
ind autumn seeds are blown about
freely by the wind, and are carried
from one State to another by birds.
The ideal way is to cut down the weeds
before they go to seed; then neither
birds nor wind can scatter them. But
while every farmer might do this there
would still be enough weeds left in
abandoned places and along the road
sides to keep up the supply.
One of the most frequent methods
of spreading weeds is through the use
of manure that comes from unkuown
sources. Manure that comes from
city stables is invariably free from all
weed seeds, but such fertilizer that
comes from tho country is very apt to
contain the seeds of noxious weeds
that will germinate and spread as soon
as applied to the laud. The Canada
thistle, pigweed, and innumerable
other pests of this character have
spread throughout the country through
the manure more than by the wind or
railroads. Manure full of weed seeds
is not worth the room it takes up, and
ono cannot bo too careful in avoiding
it. In the end it will cause more
trouble than it will do good. The
farmer who is so careless and shiftless
as to let weeds grow all over ths ma
nure pile, and go to seed there, does
not deserve to find a customer for it.
Yet this is often the case. Bagweed,
golden-rod and pigweed cover many a
pile of manure in this country, and
thore is no effort made to check their
growth before , they go to seed. In
tho winter tirno 'or early spring this
manure is spread over the cultivated
fields, with the weed seeds in it, and
the result is easily guessed. With a
little more care a good deal of labor
might be avoided. Weeds should not
be allowed to mature anywhere, least
of all those growing on or near the
manure heap.—W. E. Farmer, in
Wisconsin Agriculturist.
DuUcling and Filling; a Silo.
For those who want to build a silo
that will hold ten tons of ensilage the
following suggestions are given:
As'the avorage weight of a cubic foot
of ensilage is estimated at forty pounds,
a cube ten feet square and five feet
high would bo about tho size of a ten
ton block of ensilage, but to get this
would require some additional height
when filling, and as the pressure from
above is necessary to preserve ensilage
iu the best condition it is recommended
that the depth of a silo that is not to
bo weighted should be at least sixteen
feet.
We would not think of building one
less than ten feet deep, and think that
much better satisfaction would be
given by a silo from twelve to sixteen
feet deep. Taking twclvo feet as the
shallowest wo would build a building
eight feet square, it would give 768
cubic feet, whiob. is as small as we
would wish to build, to be sure of ten
tons of preserved silage.
The building may be made of good,
sound, seasoned lumber, balloon frame.
In the frame 2x6 or 2xß scantling may
be used; the ends should be cut square
and the junctions securely toe-nailed
with good, round steel spikes. Tho
boards for the walls should bo sound,
well seasoned and free from Bap!
Green lumber should not be used!
The walls may be given a coating of
ooal tar or roofing pitch applied hot.
If the walls are not more than four
teen feet high 2x6 studs will be heavy
enough if they are placed sixteen to
eighteen inches apart from center to
center and sheathed on the inside with
two thickness of inch boards.
The inside sheathing should be sur
face dressed and when put on
should break joints. Tho sills, two
inches thick and same width as studs,
should be laid on a thin bed of cement
mortar and spiked to anchor blocks in
the foundation.
The silo should be built upon a well
drained spot even if it has to be arti
ficially drained to make it dry. No
floor is necessary, simply fill in be.
tween the foundation walls till abov
the surface outside.
The contents pf the silo should ba
cut short as run into it. Bet the cut
ter as to convey the silage direct from
tho machine to the silo; distribute the
silage evenly as it falls from the con
veyor, using care to pack the corners
aud sides closely.—Farm, Field and
Fireside.
Take Good Care of Farm Tool).
I have always considered money in
vested in tools as much of a man's
actual capital as that in live stock oi
real estate and tho care of one ai
essontial as the care of the other,
Upon many farms plows, harrows
reapers, etc., are left standing in the
field where used or iu the yard uncov
ered, save perhaps by the rather leaky
roof of a tree, uncared for, only us
nature covered each with rust or
mold. Aud still the cry goes up from
these snme farmers of hard times, and
so they will be next year harder than
ever, when these tools are called into
use and found broken, or worse,
rotted and rusted out, entailing de
lays for repairs when work is press
ing, or the oxpense of new ones.
The owner of one farm I visited ia
considered a scientific fanner. And
so he is as far as preparing tho soil,
growing his crops, and caring for live
stock is concerned, but there it ends.
I never saw cows slicker or better fed
aud housed; horses whose glossy coats
and tossing heads told plainer than
words of plenty of oats and care.
Just out in the yard, not a stone's
throw from the warm stables, I saw
three plows, two cultivators, spring
tooth harrow, hay rake, and as the
auctioneer's say, "other articles too
numerous to mention," without cover
save the snow which was fast drifting
over them. No lack of storage room
here, for there are unused sheds and
barns on the farm, enough to store
five timos the amount. It seemed to
me there was no excuso for such negli
gence, when an hour's work would
have housed them all.
During the timo of use many tools
have to bo left in the field exposed to
tho sun and rain for days at a time,
but when not in use they should be
sheltered. And later in the season or
during the winter each tool should be
oxainiued, and pirt in order for the
coming spring. My plan is as soon
as the hurry of work is over in the
fall, to inspect each tool, aud if a plow
or cultivator, to scour the points, etc.,
tighten the nuts, put in new bolts if
necessary, aud then with warm lin
seed oil brush over the entire imple
ment, castings and woodwork.
When springtime comes there is no
guesswork about the tools. They are
ready every time. A farmer can do
much repairing himself if ho tries,
and with but few tools. A small stock
of bolts and screws should be kopt on
hand, aud a few sticks of choice tim
ber for emergencies. The butt of
that young hickory or oak cut last
winter, had it been put iu some dry
place, would have been the thing ful
some of our repairs aud better timber
than is often found at the shops. You
wanted a short wliiflfietree last winter
when you cultivated corn. Make one
now aud get it ironed while work is
not pressing. Take it to the black
smith when you take tho teeth from
the spike-toothed harrow to be sharp
ened, and do not put it off until
springtime.—J. 11. Bowermau, in
American Agriculturist.
Fnrin and Garden Notes.
E --cry farm has a place for sheep
that no other stock can fill.
Thorough grubbing is the surest
way of getting rid of elder, sassafras
and persimmon.
For want of sufficient moisture n
treo may starve with its roots iu thj
midst of plenty.
Teach the young horses to wall;
well, aud a good fouudutiou is laid foi
the faster gaits.
?t For warts on horses, clip off the
wart and touch the place, just touch
it, with nitric acid.
One advantage in using the drill oi
seed Bower is that the seed will be
distributed more evenly.
Always keep the plow sharp; it
makes better work and is easier fot
both the team and plowman.
Clover pastured with pig's gives i
better return than if made into hay.
Give the pigs a good pasture into
which to run, aud they will be ready
to finish iuto first-class pork next fall
It is true that a billy goat is a pro
tection to a flock of sheep at night,
where there are dogs abottt, but a
wide-awako cow is equally as good,
and she will do especially effective
service if she has a young calf by hel
side.
HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
To Krigliteii Looking OlasN.
If the looking glass is allowed to be
come cloudy it may be permanently
injured. It should not bo permitted
to get dusty, aud once a week should
bo rubbed briskly with a rag dipped
in methylated spirits. When this is
dry polish with a silk duster dipped
iu powdered chalk or powder blue.
Iteiiovntiiif; Leather on Furniture,
Make a preparation of one part of
vinegar in two parts of boiled linseed
oil, aud mix well. Apply a little of
this to a soft rag and dab it on the
leather, which afterward polish with a
silk handkerchief. If this process is
repeated monthly it will help to pre
serve the lentlier from cracking and
keep it iu good condition.
A New Tomato Sonp.
Rinse only lightly a small half-oup
of rice, and cook iu two quarts of
salted water till the starch celts burst,
and you havo a pot of thick starch.
Stew the tomatoes for a half-hour,
seasoning when first jiut on with a
teaspoonful of salt, a level saltspoon
ful of pepper, a tablespoonful of
sugar, a medium-sized oniou, sliced,
three cloves, oue small hayleaf and a
little nutmeg. Rub the tomato when
done through a soup strainer into the
rice-starch, aud taste, to see if the
seasoning is right, adding salt or pep
per if necessary. Now add a cup of
whipped cream and serve. There
should not be more than a generous
quart of tho starch when boiled.
Fi or Bate Pudding.
Half cup butter, one cup sugar, one
aud a half cups flour, half cup sweet
luilk, one teaspoonful baking powder,
one teaspoonful vanilla. Rake in gem
tins. While they are baking boil two
tablespoonfuls of sugar, three-quarters
of a cup milk, oue tablespoonful 'corn
starch and the beaten white of an egg.
Flavor with vanilla. Spread hot over
each little pudding. Place ilgs or
dates on top of the thick, white part;
serve with the following sauce: Roil
three-quarters of a cup sugar, one aud
a half cups milk, two tablespoonfuls of
butter, one tablespoonful of corn
starch, yolks of three eggs and oue
teaspoonful of vanilla. Serve hot
around each pudding.
To Make Tender a Tough Steak.
To transform a tough piece of beef
steak into a nutritious and tender one,
hy a method employed in many of the
first-class hotels and restaurants, pro
ceed as follows; Into a deep platter
put about three tablespoonfuls of viue
gar aud One of pure olive oil, and lay the
steak op it several hoars before it is
to be used, turning it every hour. If
the steak is to be used for breakfast
an exoellent plan is to fix it the pre
vious night and just before going to
bed turn it over and add a littlo more
vinegar and oil if the mixture lia3 all
been absorbed. The steak should be
cooked without wiping it and then
seasoued with butter, pepper and salt
[ and garnished with slices of lemon
1 and parsley.—American Queen.
The Value of Foods.
A comparative study of tables, com
piled on dietetic subjeots, is full of
surprises to the uninitiated. It is not
generally known, for example, that
raw cabbage requires only an hour
and a half for digestion, while tho
same vegetable boiled takes four hours
nud a half, aud ranks, consequently,
as ouo of tho slowest to digest among
foods. Raw sweet applos, soured pigs'
feet, fresh trout, boiled rice, venison
steak, fresh salmon are all desirabla
foods from a digestive point of view.
Roasted pork ranks highest on the
other side, taking five hours aud u
quarter for assimilation, and compet
ing with it closely iu the same way
are roasted wild duck, boiled pork,
fried beefsteak, fowls, aud, what is
surprising, vegetable sonp. In food
values, too, statistics dispel many
carefully cherished notions. Oysters
and milk, to illustrate, aro credited
with, respectively, only twelve and
thirteen per cent, of nutriment, while
raw oils lead tho list with ninety-five
per cent. Raw cucumbers and melons
add little nourishment to the human
frame with their trifling percentages
of two and three.
Itooipog.
Pineapple Cake—Make a plain, thiu
rancake batter of eggs, flourand milk,
aud pour it into a buttered frying-pan.
As soon as the hatter spreads, cover
with a layer of stewed pineapple and
sprinkle over with powdered sugar.
Put tlie pan in abet oven and bake for
teu minutes; cut into triangular pieces
aud serve hot.
Bread Crumb Omelet—One pint of
breed crumbs, a large spoonful of
dried parsley or celery and one small
chopped onion. Beat two eggs light
aud mix with half a pint of milk, a
grate of a nutmeg, pepper and salt,
and a largo spoonful of melted butter.
Pour into a buttered pieplate, bake to
light brown aud serve with soft or
hard sauce.
Blackberry Jelly—Use tho low,wild
blackberries. Mash them, and heat
slowly, until tho juice is all drawn out.
Then squeeze tbiough a cheese cloth,
and drip through a flaunel strainer.
Allow a scant cup of sugav to every
cup of juice. Boil the juice fifteen
minutes, then add tho hot sugar, aud
boil until it thickens, when poured ou
a cool plate.
Fish Rolls Chop very fine two
pounds of uncooked halibut, then rub
to a pnste with potato masher, in
earthen dish. Add, one at a time, tho
whites of threo eggs, beating oach in
well, before adding another, then
stir in one-half cup warm cream, aud
season with salt, paprika and a few
drops of onion juice. Mix very thor
oughly, then with the hands make
into rolls, two and one-half inches in
length. Then brush with beaten egg,
roll in crumbs and fry in hot fat, deep
or shallow. Drain and servo with
bechamel sanca.
ricturo of Oeorco Mrm
George Eliot was at this time about
fifty, but looked years older. She wore,
us she always did, a plain silk dress, to
night having a white ehawl about her
shouldrers and light gloves in her
hand, being indeed dressed for the op
era. Some people have talked and writ
ten of the ugliness of this great wom
an; this sort of criticism recalls a fam
ous scene in "Middlemarch." "Mr. Cas
aubon has a wart on his nose," said
pert little Celia to her sister. "I dare
say he has," was Dorothea's dignified
rebuke, "when certain people look at
him." And thus George Eliot in some
eyes was ugly because, forsooth, she
lacked dimpled cheeke, round eyes, and
pretty mouth! If hers was ugliness,
would we had more of it in the world!
When in speaking her large, usually
solemn features lighted up, a positive
light would flash from them, a lumin
osity irradiate, not her own person
only, but her surroundings. A sover
eign nature, an august intellect, had
transported us into its own atmosphere. !

• OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
Probably owing to the fact that the
duchess of York's wedding jewels were
largely composed of turquoises—her fa
vorite stone —the turquoise has been
coming more and more into fashion.
One of the latest developments is to
carve heads and initials on them.
It lias become quite the fashion now
! for bridesmaids to carry baskets of
flowers instead of bouquets. Special
j baskets are made, generally of white
i chip, with tall, slight handles. A bow
; of ribbon can be added at the top and
the flowers are securely fastened in
position by means of needle and
j thread. 1
| American ladies, says an English
| writer, have a new fad. They carry
i about with them a living "mascot," or
I charm, in the shape of a black kitten,
: the idea being that it will avert catas
i tropho to friends or relatives taking
| part in the war. The kitten is some
j times carried in a bag. It is absolute- j
ly necessary that the animal should be
black. How the idea originated we
are not at present informed.
The duchess of Portland is very
keenly interested in temperance and
has done some good work to the cause,
though, no doubt, her natural reserve
would make her shrink from the pub
licity it involves. In spite of being
the wife of one of the richest men in
England and mistress of one of its
finest mansions, Lady Portland does
little entertaining. She is, however,
well calculated to shine as a society
hostess, for she has a groat charm of
manner and a stately sort of beauty.
She is tall and graceful, with dark hair
and a lily and rose complexion. Her
maiden name was Miss Dallas York,
and she is the daughter of a Yorkshire
squire. It is said that the duke of
Portland first saw her at a railway sta- L
tion and was then and there captivated
with her dignified beauty and her
charming manner. Afterward, meeting '
her by chance in a London drawing- j
room, he began that acquaintance with
her which led to marriage.
By the death of the widow of the
last Prince, the name of the Venetian
family Glovanelli that has existed
since 1230 has become extinct.

COMMUTING WORDS TO WOMEN.
Tho Surgical Cliair and its Tortures May bo Avoided by Women Who
Heed Mrs. Pinkham's Advice.
Woman's modesty is natural; it is charming.
To many women a full statement of their troubles to a mole physician is al
most impossible. The whole truth may be told to Mrs. Pinkhain because she
is a woman, and her advice is freely rfvyi)
offered to all women sufferers. (I

can say enough in praise of it. I have jj

more happy homes and healthy women. 1 thank
you for the change your medicine has made in me.

saved thousands of women from hospital operations.
•The lives of women are hard; whether at home with a ceaseless round of do
mestic duties or working nt some regular employment, their daily tasks make
constant war on health. If nil women understood themselves fully and know
how exactly- and soothingly Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound acts
on the female organs, there would be less suffering.
