"I was a znartyr to IIay Fever, for
probably fifteen years and I suffered
terribly at times. I consulted many
physicians and took their treatment,
and I tried every remedy I heard of as
being good for I3ay 1?ever but nothing
helped nie.
Then I heard of "Fruit -a tives" and
decided to try them, and I am thankful
to say that this remedy cured me
completely.
To every sufferer from Hay Fever, I<,
wish to say ---"Try Fruit-a-tives", Tliis
medicine cured me when every other
treatment failed, and I believe it is a
perfect cure for this dreadful disease -
Hay Fever"
MRs. HENRY KEAIP.
The real cause of Hay Fever is
poisoned blood, due to the faulty action
of the bowels, kidneys and skin.
"Fruit-a-tives" cleans the blood by
regulating bowels, kidneys and skin-
and thus relieves the excessive ,strain
on the nervous system. Try "Fruit-a-
tives".

When You do not SIeep.
Take the thousands of nervous peo-
ple who do not sleep well. All day
long they fear they will not be able to
sleep. As night approaches they be-
come more and more convinced they
will not be able to steep. They go to
bed with the settled conviction that
they will not go to. sleep. Now, such
individuals, in additions to baths and
other physical treatment, will do well
to go to bed with the idea uppermost
in their minds that they will go to sleep
and not care at all if they do not sleep,
If you can't sleep relax and rest. That
of itself will not only do you good, but
by giving up you will be surprised how
soon you will be asleep. It is the
knowledge that they are awake that
keeps thousands of people from sleep-
ing. Relieve the mental tension, re-
move the anxiety and you effectually
destroy the state of worry. If anxiety
comes to you, and you are prone to say
"it never rains but it pours," repeat
to yourself the philosophy of the old
woman, who steadfastly by one saying
refused to allow herself to worry: -
"Perhaps, after all, maybe it isn't so."

DAIRY WISDOM.
Every dairy former ought to
be especially careful about his
water supply, not only the wa-
ter that is used In washing but-
ter and mills utensils, but that
which the cows ore allowed to
drink.
Many a good bull ie sold be-
fore his real value is known.
The majority of the people seem
to have an aversion for anything
but young bulls.
The cow that holds out is the
cow that really ought to have a
place in your dairy stable. She
is the best profit producer.
The heifer that is cared for
and handled gently throughout
her entire life will need little
breaking in when it comes time
to milk her.
There is no liquid that will ab-
sorb odors more quickly than
warm milk.
One of the best indications of
a good milk cow is large and
tortuous mills veins.
RAISE BIG HORSES.
Little Profit to the Farmer in Product.
ing Small Draft Animals.
It is surprising, after all the talk
about big horses, to see how many
farmers still think that the little are
all right to raise. No money is made
producing the little southern chunks,
writes Professor J. L. Edmonds of Illi.
nous in Orange Judd Farmer. In noth•
ing has the big draft horse shown
more improvement in recent years
than in action. The big, fast walking
horse of perfect notion has a decided
advantage. Not many take the pains
to tench their horses to walk properly,
and the right kind of big horses are
not logy and nt a disadvantage in the
heat of summer work.
The rule to get size in the class and
quality in the sire cannot
always a
-
ply. In some communities it is neces-
sary to increase size through the sire.
The colt show is a great benefit. A
stallion lined up with five or six of his
get tells his value better than any
word painting. Pure bred horses hk've
much stronger prepotency than the
horse of little or no breeding. Some
good stallions have a poor chance to
show what they can do. Poor feed
and lack of exercise cause many fail.
The Percheron breed of draft
horses was first introduced In
America about fifty years ago, and
it seems to be growing in favor.
The Percheron is a massive, heav-
ily muscled animal from 10 to 17.2
hands high and weighing usually
from 1,600 to 2,200 pounds. Intelli-
gence, good temper and courage are
all indicated in a good Percheron
head. Good feeding and shipping
qualities, clean, properly set legs,
dense, well shaped feet and unusual
endurance at severe work are some
of the strong points of the breed.
ores. Some are kept in filthy little
yards and not looked after a great
deal.
The only absolute way of knowing
the value of a mare is to see her off-
spring. Even the best judges cannot
always pick out the best breeders. Oue
of the best breeding marcs ought to bo
the last animal sold from the farm.
The demand for pure bred mares has
been exceptionally good the last few
years. A man who has not raised a
good gelding bad better not attempt to
raise pure bred horses. Crossing --that
is, grading up -produces some of the
best market animals, but if the fi' :as
are to be raised it is better to pili,.tp
the blood in one line. It is a dis.,.act
advantage 1n selling to raise onl,‘ one
breed of draft horses in a neighbor-
hood.
Care of the Separator.
Keep the hand separator bearings
clean and well oiled. Snell will save
enough to justify the spending of a
half hour every two weeks at tushing
the bearings with kerosene, which cuts
out the grit,
Cheapest Gains on the Pig,
Under ordinary management the
cheapest gains ninde on the pig are
th,'ough the mother. So It pays to
pataper the mother of n good sized lit-
ter and thus force the young.
The Horse's Toes.
It is better for a horse to turn both
toes out than to torn one toe out,
while, on the other hand, It is worse
for a horse to turn both toes In than
to turn one toe In,
SEEINU WITHOUT EYES..
The Sense That Enables the Amoeba
to Locate Its Prey.
Is it possible to see without eyes?
Seeing is supposed to be due to the
action of light on the retina of the
«yo, which sets up a disturbance.
This is carried to the brain by means
of the optic nerves. Let the idea of
:seeing be changed to becoming aware.
An amoeba is at the bottom of the
.rale of living things. It is a very
minute creature• -a "bag of water,"
an expressive if homely description.
.1 very thin membrane inclases a
minute quantity of water which holds
a clot, called the nucleus. The con-
tent, are liquid or semi-liquid, like
white of an egg, and is protoplasm.
The animal has no eyes, ears,
brain, nerves or any sense organ that
can be detected in the new high pow-
er ultra violet microscope, yet it be -
c 'nies aware of the existence of food
in the adjacent water at quite a dis-
tance.
Suppose a man should he ship-
wreeked en an island and be the only
human there. Let the island be five
utile, wide. In a year let another
than he east up by the sea on the
opposite side, Then let the first
than become suddenly aware that the
other was on the island. This pheno-
menon would he comparable to the
.ensitiveness of an amoeba.
Suppose the food is an animal and
seeks to escape the amoeba. It will
Lind the. job to be extremely difficult.
"o sooner ares the amoeba become
rt'scious of the presence of the other
creature than it at once gives chase.
Let the fleeing animal suddenly
Monne its course precisely as does a
r,ltbit pursued by a dog; then the.
amoeba "cuts across" exactly as does
the clog, overtakes its pray and swal-
'•ovs it--i.e., wraps itself, its sub-
stance, around the creature, which is
,.non digested.
The question is, Can this be called
seeing in the literal meaning of the
word? Whatever is the true explana-
tion, it is now unknown to science.
'The Profitable Sheep.
No farm should be without some
sheep. They cleaiii tip the weeds, make
fine fertilizers and wool and produce
Iambs, all of which may be turned into
a good profit, •
Real Gems Made by Science.
There recently appeared in Paris
.00ie diamonds having all the ear-
marks of the genuine article,and
ut e
they were offered to a number of deal-
ers at very attractive prices. Certain
rigid tests were applied by experts
engaged in the trade, with the result
that they
• were ,roved to be slightly
.'ifferentfrom natural stones. The
diamonds were believed to be manu-
factured by a synthetic process, but
,y the experts who examined them
they were claimed to be genuine. From
this, it seems, the secret of making
iiautonds is rapidly being solved, and
it will not he long until this new pro-
,'.uct of the electric furnace will take
its plaice with synthetie rubies, sap-
,:ltires and other manufactured gems
which are now sold in the open mar -
'cot.
The Spider Cheat.
Many species of spiders are interest -
on account of their physical con-
traction or their habits, but the most
•urinus specimens are probably to be
tonna in the woods of Sumatra, and
these naturalists call, not without rea-
son, "spicier cheats." This insect, in
order to trap the flies, etc., on which
it feeds, hides on a leaf and spins a
well of neutral color, making an illu-
sion so perfect that the prey not only
Moes not fly, but seems attracted by
the peculiar termination of the web
on the edge of the leaf. This is a
perfect knot in appearance and gives
to the trap the general shape of a
minature palm leaf fan with indented
handle.
Guides In Japan.
Once a person has visited Japan and
engaged the services of a Japanese
nide he exists forever in the good
book and graces of the guide. Always
at Christmas and frequently two or
three other times during the year he
receives some little gift. Japan is
the only country in the world where
the Government take, sufficient inter-
est in tourists to take under its super-
vision the guide fraternity. So strict
is the regulation that it is a rare thing
for any guide to receive an unfavor-
able report.'
Workman's Fortune.
A fortune of $400,000 was left by a
Sheffield workman. John Smith. who
died recently at the age of seventy-
seven after forty-five years of active
work which had never brought him
more than $600 a year. The founda-
tion of his fortune was the sum of
$1,000, painfully saved in pennies and
invested in stock of his employer's
concern, which rose to a value of
$75,000 in fifteen years.
Very Young.
A new member of the harbor board,
in a New Zealand town was attendinngg
its meetings for the first time, and
the board was discussing a proposaall
to place two buoys at the entrance to
the harbor. "I beg to propose an
amendment," said the new member,
"that one elan should be placed there
instead of two boys, as the latter are
too young for such a responsible
position!.

Lion Heart,
The lion-hearted Richard in happy
days of yore was wont to butcher peo-
ple and wade in crimson gore; he look-
ed around for victims, his hand on
battle-axe, and when he ran them he
calmly breaks their backs. He's been
the gaudy hero of scores of rattling
books; old men have about him in win-
ter inglenooks; and even yet the minst-
rel about his glory sing -but no one e'er
accused him of doing useful things.
Had Richard stayed in England and
buckled down to tacks; had he sworn
off on bloodshed and pawned his battle-
axe, and tried to give his people a
half -way decent reign, he would not
be the hero of bughouse poet's strain;
his bones would lie a -crumbling among
forgotten kings -our heroes are not
people who do the useful' things. To-
day we make the idol of him who

"There's a good argument for two
dollar gowns."
"The trouble is she caught a two

to dress on that precedent ever since."
London's Skyscraper.
London's new county hall, the foun.

approach to a "skyscraper" that Lon-
don possesses.

useful things. The men who build the
cities and make the deserts bloom; the
men whose busy fingers attend the mill
and loom; who send the hips of com-
merce across the vasty deep; who toil
to further science when others are
asleep; who rob the hills of riches, the
quarries of their stone, these go their
way obscurely, their names to fame
unknown, while we applaud the fakir
