Roberts, Graduate of Detroit Optical InstitutealsoChicagoOphth- almic College, is prepared to fit all defects of Vision Astigmatism, Hypermetro- pia, Myopia, Prestyopia or any compound defect. T.. Intelligent people have given up the idea of buy- ing ordinary common spectacles at a counter,becauee they see welt with them. It may be that only one eye is brought into use, while the other may be eo strained as to result in blindnese. If your eyes are *weak, or sight poor call at J. S. ROBERT'S Drug Store and have them tested. Does the print blur or do the eyes tire when reading? Do the eyes ache'? Do the eyes water? Are they sore or inflamed ? These symptoms point to defects in the refraction, or • .the remotes of the eyes and can be perfectly cor- rected. Do you have headache? Eye strain causee more headaches than all other cau6es combined. Thew - ands of people are suffering who do net realize that eye strain is the cause. All these cases can be curesi with glasses Cud are made to correct the error in the eyee. The eyee of ohildren should be carefnlly tested. In many caaes the defect in the eyes is shown by various symptoms, such as inability to see figures on blackboard, holding the book close to the eyes, blurring of letters, crossed eyes or eyes turning in, blinking, watering of the eyes and particularly head- ache. In many cases the child is accused of being dull or stupid, when the fault is in the sight, and can be corrected with glasses. If you are wearing glaeses that are not eatisfactory, bring them to me. In case of disease, you will be recommended to the physician M Oncetor treatmeet. 1458 It requires ne head to see the Bargains in our great stock of high grade goods.

THE PROPER POLICY. -Onr representative interviewed Mr. James Brayley, of Hamiltbn, at his office, 68 King William Street. Mr. Brayley is an enterprising business man, and one of Hamilton's foremost manufacturers. His goods, Saddlery hard- ware, punches, dies, eto.,' are known from Halifax to Vanconver, and stand very high in the estimation of the trade, Mr. Brayley said : "For years I have been troubled with gravel and weakness of the kidneys. I had to stand up and clench my teeth when urinating, So intense was tlae pain. The pains around my loins where almost in tol erable, • and I felt as though a eat were being pulled down my back by the hind legs. "1 went from bad to worse till. at last 1 could not urinate at all, and had to be operated On. I had no confidence in anything, and made up my mind to suffer torture to my dying day. Reading the testimony published by the Doan Kidney Pills Co., I saw a' similar ease to my own, and, being in constant agony, decided to give them a trial, and got a box of the pills from Spackmeaa's drug store, at the corner of Market Square. "It did me no good, so I got another, and another, until I had taken four boxes, and was about gpillag up when relief came, I continued to take them till the pain left My back, and I am now as limber as an eel. Instead of getting up a dozen times a night I never get up more than o co now. The urine is now perfectly , clear an bite no secntnent of any kind. "I am delighted to testify in behalf of Doan's •-Kidney ills, as they cured the after the last ray of h pe had fled."

"Shep" conigibute to The Breeder's Gazette the forlowing diagrams and de- scription of a shippie g crate which he I says carried some hog more than 7,000 I in-iles and handed the out in first class condition at the jourey's end : Five of the crates ere feet long and one 6 feet in len th. All of them were 23., feet wide and 3 feet high. The lumber used was cottonwood. The bottoms were five-e.i hths of an inch thick, the slats for the sides and front end were one-half an inch thick and 4 inches wide. The bo tom slats were 8 inche§ wide. The e tra width of the bottom slatwas requ red to prevent the animals .sticking the r'feet out of the cracks while lying do n. On each side four slats 4 inches w de, one-half inch thick and 3 feet long were used to nail the side and end ela is to, forming the framework of the ora e.

Owing to the length of time the ani- mals must remain in ti. e orates it was necessary that the ora s should be long enough and wide enou h to permit the animal to lie down mfortably, but there must be some angement to pre- vent the hog from tu iing around and at the same time fnrni h a protection to the animal when the -s a was rough and the vessel rolling.

To meet such emergencies the following 'artieles were providcd-one two gallon sprin- kler, 1,500 ,pounds Of shelled corn, 4 bales of straw, 4 . buShels of charcoal and 10 Pounds. of government specific. The instreptions for the attendants on shipboard were as follows: Feed twice a clay a quart of shelled corn to each hog. Water three times a day as much water as the hog will drink. Dishwater in place of clear water will be better. Give wood charcoal every other day in quantities of about a quart. glean box and put in fresh bedding at least every other day. Keep hogs in shade, and when the hog is very warm sprinkle with Water fre- quently until it coele off. - - If very warm during the day give one-half ration in -the morning a d 13 ration at night. Give a tablespoonful of black m xtura in water or dishwater to each h g ev- ery other day. About Cottonseed Meal. Cottonseed meal is the retidnp left after extraction of the oil by pressure. When fresh, it is of a bright ellow color with a sweet, nutty flavor, bit be- comes discolored and deteriorates with age. Black specks show adulte ation withethe hulls. It is asvery rich, itrog- enous or muscle building stock food, with mere or less fat according o the effectiveness of the oil extraction. It is comparatively poor in starch and sugar and notably weak in fiber, re4 iring that it be fed with plenty of coar e fod- der to supply the necessary bulk o fill the stomach. It is a far richer feeirli than cornmeal or wheat. • Cottonseed meal is largely used in the eastern states as a fertilizer, its value for that purpose being computed in the osame manner as that of other fertilizers,. It can often be bought at prices which jrifitify its use for that purpose, although the more usual and rational practice is to feed it. There is, however, danger of injurious effects from the free feeding of cottonseed meal, especially when not perfectly fresh. It /11118t not be fed to young stock. In the process of manufacturing cot- tonseed products the seed after being cleaned is hulled, the hulls forming about one-half tho weight. These hulls are good feed, not rich in proteids, but more so in the carbohydrates. They are considerably used for that purpose. For the most part, however, they are burned in the factories producing them, the ashes being -carefully saved as a fertilizer rich in potash and phosphoric acid. To some extent they aro baled and enter into commerce, usually to be mixed with meal for feedings. -United States Agricultural Bulletin 36. 'WORKED WONDERS Live Stock Points. In these days, when hard twisted tex- tile fabrics are fashionable, the few men who have had flocks of wool goats have made much profit. Last . year a man in the southwest had a flock of 90 goats. From their fleeces and from the increase in his herd he has made a profit of more than $400. They were mohair goats, and some of them sheared as high as four pounds of fleece. The best part of the business was that the animals for- aged for themselves, and he bought no feed at all for them. We have oftei wondered why Ameri- can farmers do ‚4ot go into the breeding of mohair goatt oftener than they do. The hair is ve4 valuable, and the flesh of the young 1id famous as a delicacy from reinote B ble times. These goats are less tronblo and expense to keep than sheep. ‘When separator milk is fed to calves, it should alwaye be warmed to about 90 degrees.

Jakie took the paper like a dutiful child, and holding it upside down'commenced: "Take a green watermelon-" " Why, Jakie, ain't you mistaken ? I thoiaght the melon mut be ripe." ‘4, Oh, what's the matter wideyew 1 Dew ever- see a watermelon that wasn't green ?" 44 Cut the watermelon in four halves -1" 44 But there ain't only two halves to any- thing. I don't believe you, are reading that, Jakie." " Well, I don't have to ; anyhow t at's whet the reseet says. Then soak it n a pin cup -" me ! How in the world can yon put a watermelon in a pint cup ?" " Well, I ain't here to tell the where pea and the howfores. I'm just reaclin the fe.cts and you can put in the filosofee tojsuit your taste. After soakin' the melon pa in a skillet and fry it for five days," " I wonder if Mrs. Brown sent me snob a receipt as that ?" said the old lady; but Jakie kept on: • "Then put the watermelon in a quart bowl and pour over it a gallon of vinegar, taking care not to spill the vinegar-" "I'd just like to know how you ca -n pour a gallbn into a quart bowl without spilling any of. it f' but Jakie continued: "hen sift a peck of red pepper thrbugh a, ma -strainer over the melon, and to ene cup of butter add the white and yelksl and shells of three eggs, and throw , m the old hen that laid them, and four sticks ofj cin- namon drops and two tablespoonfU8 of quinine, and ran it through a coffee.mi1tand let it stand until it ferments, and the put it in a tin can and tie the can to a dog tail -this will stir it tip to the right consistency -and then you can turn it off in crock* and have it ready for use. Serve it deld and. spread it on mince pie and it makes a capi- tal desert," and Jakie slid out of doers and left the old lady looking like a wrinkle on a monument.
