The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this wholo-
■ome, old-time custom. In the begin
ning, some enterprising doctor, im
pressed by the usefulness of one of j en kina after a seesaw series
these home-mado remedies, would take 0 f bouts. Goteh’a defeat by Beell at

A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonilcs, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. Dr.
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
POUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men-
nonite origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
'The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a manufactory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
f Peruna is useful in a great many
dimatio ailments, snch os coughs, colds,
core throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
•USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
Itreatment of these ailments. They
I have learned to trust and believe in
leg and left the mat in a helpless
condition. However, Jenkins rega'n-
ed his crown at Buffalo a few- months
after, throwing tlie French Canadian
In two straight falls. Gotch then do
ing his lighter opponent in two
straight falls In Kansas City recently.
Frank will do well to keep his rivals
down in future. Of course, accidents
similar to the one Gotch is said to
have received will lay the best of
them out, but wrestling students
know -that Gotcn at present ha3 no

My Wife's Lone SnfferingsNenralgia
Corel By Minarl's Liniment
I am pleased to say that Minard’s Liniment is a great relief
for neuralgia. My wife has suffered a long time with neuralgia,
and I have tried everything I knew or heard about, and could not
get anything that would cure her, and the doctors had given her up;
they could not do any more for her. About three weeks she had
not been able to do her own work and had to have her head tied
up, and her neck was so bad that she could not turn her head with
out turning her whole body. When your agent came along I got
three sample bottles of Minard’s Liniment. She used one, and in
twenty-five minutes she was able to go all around the house without
her head being bandaged, and could' do her own work and has ever
since. Therefore I can truly say that Minard's Liniment is a
sure cure for neuralgia, and that it will do just as it is recommended
to do, and as long as God spares me, I shall never be without it.
Yours respectfully,

How is Your Alfalfa Coming On?
The exceedingly dry full prevented
mnny from getting a stand of alfalfa.
Where there is a stand and it is de
sirable to top-dress with manure now
Is the lime to do so. Where there is
no stand and it is desired to resow with
alfalfa now is the time to apply stable
manure and cut in with a disc harrow.
It is better to make all preparation
it month or two before time to sow the
seed.—Progressive Farmer.
Sheep-Breeding.
One of llie best authorities on sheep
says that it Is expecting too much ol
an ewe to make her growth, shear a
heavy fleece and raise a lamb In one
year. It can he done, but it will check
the growth of the sheep ami produce
a lamb lacking in constitution. If per
sisted In for several years (he sheep
raised will have a very uneven flock,
greatly lacking in hardiness and thrift
and correspondingly less profitable.—
Epltomist.
How Much Corn?
It what quantity and how often can
ground corn meal be fed to horses and
cows? C. Hoi ken. Answer: If you
have 1 lover hay to feed cows, corn
meal may comprise as much as one-
third by weight of the total grain feed.
If you have timothy or ordinary mixed
hay, the corn should not exceed one-
fourth of the grain ration. Horses at
heavy, slow- work may have one-half
their grain in the form of corn. Corn
should be used sparingly, if at all, for
driving horses.—Country Gentleman.
Fat Fowls the Demand.
It does not pay to sell a fowl that
is in poor condition, as such a bird in
market must be almost given away, or
sold at a price below the regular quot
ations. It does not cost over five cents,
even with the heaviest feeding, to pro
duce a pound of poultry. A poor hen,
weighing six pounds, can be gotten to
the eight pound mark in from ten to
twenty days—seldom more than two
weeks—and if the market price is
twelve cents she will bring fourteen
cents owing to her superior quality;
hut allowing twelve and a half cents
per pound she will bring a dollar. On
ly llie choicest, fattest fowls are the
ones that bring the high prices. By
expending ten cents for food, and mak
ing a hen very fat, not only is the ex
penditure of food returned but the prof
its are also much larger. In fact, by
increasing the weight and Improving
the quality the value of the hen Is
nearly doubled in two weeks.—Farm
ers’ Home Journal.

Shade for Poultry.
Poultry suffer greatly if they do not
have plenty of good shade to shield
them from the rays of the sun. The
poultry quarters are too dose and of
ten too filthy to be cool and comfort
able on hot summer days. Let the
birds have good shade where the air
will he pure and where breezes will
play freely. Fruit bushes or fruit
trees will answer the purpose well,
and the birds will help the trees by
fertilizing’ them and by destroying
many harmful insects.
This subject is brought up at this
time, because trees or bushes can be
set out to advantage now and will
give some shade by the time the poul
try must have it. Hushes that branch
out near the ground will do even more
the poultry resting under the low
hawks from pouncing down on their
victims. Hawks do not like to dive
into secluded spots after anything, and
the pountry lesting under the low
branches will be safe from hawks. No
combination is better than poultry and
fruit trees or hushes—any bush larger
than the strawberry.—Progressive
Farmer.
The Amiable Cow.
"The Ayrshire cow is the one which
will ultimately predominate in Amer
ica,’ said Mr. William Ballou, of Mid
dletown, N. Y., who was at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel to attend the thirty-third
annual meeting of the Ayrshire Breed
ers’ Association.
"Our most eminent physicians agree
that her ntilk is the only suitable milk
for children.
"Wherever the Ayrshire cow may be
located she maintains a cheerful and
gentle disposition, combined with , an
exuberant spirit and bloom, which are
as apparent and pronounced in the old
cow as in the young.
"The Ayrshire is pre-eminently the
family cow, and analysis shows her
milk to be particularly nutritious for
human kind, a balanced ration, a com
plete food; it is easily digested.
“The Ayrshire Breeders’ Association
claims, and Is prepared to demon
strate, in competition with the Hol
stein, the Jersey, or the Guernsey cows
that for quality and quantity of milk
of butter fat and solids, considering the
cost of feed in each case, and the actual
net profit, the Ayrshire, as a dairy cow
stands on an average pre-eminently
above them all.”—New York Evening
Telegram.
About Shropshl-e Sheep.
in referring to the popularity of Hie
Shropshifes, the Farm Stock Journal
. ays tluU from the first exhibition of
this breed made at the Koyal Show in
England in 1855, they have rapidly
grown in favor. From that date It
pushed rapidly into popular favor and
was soon the most prominent sheep in
t\he stock shows ot that country. In
1884. 875 head of Shropshlres were ex
hibited at the Royal show of Shrews
bury against only 420 of nil other
breeds. In this country the Shrop
shire Is comparatively new. In 1860
Samuel Sutton of Maryland imported
one ram and twenty ewes, which are
said to be the first of the Shropshire
breed in America. A. B. Conger of
New York state, also had a fioek about
the same time, however. Shropshlres
were exhibited at the New York state
fair at Elmira in 1861. They reached
Illinois about 1879 or 1880.
The standard weight for mature
Shropshire rams Is 225 pounds. Ewes
weight from 150 to 160 pounds. A few
years ago a large Importer of these
sheep advertised his rants as averaging
250 and his ewes 175 pounds. Most of
the muttons are marketed as lambs
from six to ten months old, averaging
from 60 to 80 pounds. Sheep men say
there Is always good money In young
mutton sheep.
Age of Breeding.
If cows are going out of commission
at the expiration of seven years they
are not dying, hut going out of the
dairy In the prime of life, and there’s
something out of joint. Year after year
we meet and discuss the cow and her
product. Why do we do it? Because
we have not learned all we need to.
She Is truly a mysterious being. Some
have thought tnat they knew it all, but
those that study know better, for she
is like the boys and girls of rich par
ents, she Is handsome to look at but
expensive to support. Boys and girls
and heifers are bred for a purpose,
but sometimes spoiled In the bringing
up. A heifer may be bred right and
prove a disappointment.
People disagree as to the age a heifer
should he bred. I am going to pul a
chip on my shoulder and say that I
don’t think any cow owner capable of
indicating when his row shall become
a mother. It Is just according to her
ancestry, care and feed. When she is
ready she should be bred. Dictate and
you will soon have a barren heifer;
this is hacked by my experience.
Bred as dairy cattle are and have
been, they are unbalanced and abnor
mal animals. Bred as they are, to
give a rich product, we must breed at
younger age or we will have barren
stock. Bred and fed for milk we have
weakened the organs so closely relat
ed. While It is true, under a restrict
ed feed, that breeding young dwarfs
the heifer, fed generously, 1 have nev
er found ll true tha an animal was
seriously Injured or dwarfed.—Dr. C.
I). Smead, In the American Cultivator.
AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT
Any Child Can Do it—Thc Result is
Almost Like Magic—Useful Too
Anything in the nature of a chem
ical experiment Is always interesting
and usually educative. Here is a
simple experiment which any child
can perform and which is instructive
in a very practical way: Get a bit of
White Lead about the size of a pen, a
piece of charcoal, a common candle
in a candlestick, and a blow-pipe.
Scoop out a little hollow in the char
coal to hold the White Lend, then
light the candle, take the charcoal
and lead In one hand and the blow
pipe In the other, with the large end
of the blow-pipe between the lips;
blow tho flame of the candle steadily
against the bit of White Load on the
charcoal and if the White Lead is
pure it will presently resolve its» If
Into little shining globules of atetallio
lead, under the Intense heat of the
blow-pipe, leaving no residue.
If, however, the White Lend Is
adulterated In the slightest degree. It
will not wholly change Into lead.
So, It will be seen, that this experi
ment Is not only an entertaining
chemical demonstration, but also of
practical use In the home. White
Lead is the most important ingre
dient of paint. It should bo bought
pure and unadulterated and mixed
with pure linseed oil. That Is the
best paint. The above easy experi
ment enables any one to know wheth
er the paint is the kind which will
wear or not.
The National Lead Company guar
antee that white lead taken from a
package bearing their "Dutch Boy
Painter" trade-mark will [trove abso
lutely pure under the blow-pipe test;
and to encourage people to mako the
test and prove the purity of paint be
fore using It, they will send free a
blow-pipe anti a valuable booklet on
paint to any one writing them asking
for Test Equipment. Address Na
tional Lead Company, Woodbridgo
Building, New York City.
THE RATS OR I?
Poultry Notes.
Chicks well hatched are half raised.
Breeders not in good health will not
give eggs that will hatch vigorous
hicks.
Feeding young chicks is important,
but of less importance than the care
they have.
In preparing for young birds, the
breeding stock is the first thing to he
onsidered.
The early birds are the hens that
find a market willing to take them
at a good price.
Cleanliness is a necessary part of
raising chickens, especially when a
large number are together.
Many prefer two-year-old hens for
breeders. At least have yearling 1 hens
well developed if they are the breed
ers.
An incubator will get broody earlier
in the season than a hen, and will stay
by the eggs if it has a good care-taker
to assist.
Those who feed bread crumbs to
young chicks will do well to moisten
the bread with skim milk instead of
with water.
If brooders are used, keep a watch
ful eye on the chicks till they learn to
run hack to the heat and warm up.
One Dad chilling may ruin a chick’s
usefulness.
The prepared chick feed found at
poultry supply houses may cost more
than other feed, but generally nets
more profit, as mose chicks live and
have more vigor.
Do not feed young birds till they are
at least one or two days old. They
absorb the yolk shortly before leaving
the shell, and that gives all the nour
ishment their systems can use for some
time.
For hatching, select only such eggs
as are of normal size and of normal
shape. Very large or very small eggs
or those of freakish shape or with
freakish shells should always be re
jected.
All breeds and varieties of fowls
have some fowls that have much less
or. natch more vigor than the average
for its class, and may oe expected to
have offspring of like nature. Select
breeders with care.
The downy feathers of chickens do
not shed water like the feathers of
old fowls, and chickens cannot stand
so much dampness as old fowls. The
poultryman’s head will have to do, the
thinking for the little fellows, and
keep them where it is dry.—Progressive
Farmer.
A Curious and Still Unexplained Ex-
perience With Some Flower
Pots.
A year ago last March I planted
various seeds in several flower [tots
311ed with earth, and placed them In
the sunny windows of my laboratory
and of the house In which I keep my
pets. The next day, to my great an
noyance, I found the pots nearly half
oinpty, and the earth scattered about
the tables and the floor. I at once
suspected the general disorder and
littering to be the work of rats, for
there are many of these animals in
the building (in spite of the con
tinued use of traps), being attracted
there, I suppose, by the grain kept as
food for tho pets. 1 placed some of
the traps between the pots, put back
all the earth and planted more seeds.
One rat was caught that night, but
still the earth was thrown out as
before. I persisted—and so did they.
I noted that some of the larger and
more oanspicious seeds were not tak
en, but supposing that the small ones,
which 1 failed to find, had been oaten,
I planted more every time I returned
the earth. I did this perhaps half a
dozen times, till other matters claim
ed my attention and the project was
abandoned for that spring.
Early in this last season I deter
mined to try again, and I intended
to get the best of the rats by cover
ing the pots with wire netting. One
pleasant day I filled them, but not
having time then to make the frame
for the netting I did not plant the
seeds. Other engagements then pre
vented my entering the building for
two or three days, when, to my as
tonishment, the earth was again out
of the pots and general disorder
reigned as it had reigned the year
before. Thinking it might possibly
be the work of some person, I re
filled the pots. The next day I found
the earth out as before. On the morn
ing of the third day, as I entered the
building I actually saw a rat jump out
of one of the pots where there was
every indication to show that he had
been scratching the earth. Now the
question arises: WaB I mistaken dur
ing the first spring In thinking that
tho rats were hunting for seeds? Were
they seeking and perhaps getting
something else? Or, in the second
year, had some okl rats remembered
that seeds are often to be found In
earth in flower pots, and had instinct
or memory led them astray? Who
was fooled? This is the question that
I ask yon as the title to this record
of my experience with flower pot a
and rats—“the rats or I?"—From “Na
ture and Science,” in St. Nicholas.
