The Pill that Will. “The pill that will,” implies the pills that won't. Their name is legion. The name of “‘the pill that will” is Ayer’s Cathartic Pill. It isa pill to rely on. Properly used it will cure con- stipation, biliousness, sick headache, and the other ills that result from torpid liver. Ayer's pills are not designed to spur the liver into a momentary activity, leaving it in yet more incapable condition after the immediate effect is past. They are compounded with the pur- pose of toning up the entire system, removing the obstructing conditions, and putting the liver into proper relations with the rest of the organs for natural co-operation. The record of Ayer’s Pills during the half century they have been in public use establishes their great and permanent value in all liver affections. Ayer’s Cathartic Pills. FOREST FIRES. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FOREST AND PRAIRIE FIRES IN MINNE- SOTA. The Following Circular Has Been Issued by Gen. C. C. Andrews, Chief Fire Warden of Minnesota. Circular No. 6. State of Minnesota, Office of Chief Fire Warden, St. Paul, Minn., May 26, 1897—To Fire Wardens: 1. A package containing ten warning placards has just been mailed from this office to each chairman of town board and sh fire warden in unorganized ter- and they should be carefully s provided by Section 4, of the rvation Act of April 18, 1895. nould be received by chairmen © much settled as not to re- {f any in town: quire precautions against forest or prairie fires the town board can exercise its jiscretion in regard to their being posted. Il. Chairmen are requested to prompt- y fill and return the blank entitled “Fire Wardens for 1897;” also, hand to their zolleagues a copy of within circulars, which should be carefully studied. Ill. Section 6, of said law requires you to “take precautions to prevent the set- ting of forest or prairie fires.” It may be about impossible to extinguish a forest fire in dry and very windy weather; but f fire wardens do their duty thoroughly they can almost entirely prevent the oc- currence of dangerous fires. It is a viola- tion of Section 9, of the act for anyone to set a fire in dry weather. Fire wardens must make this known and they must firmly enforce the law by exemplary pro- secutions. This is the third year the law n in operation and it should now ictly enforced. Fire wardens will themselves be liable to prosecution if they fail to have it so enforced. They should take a pride in being able to report at the end of the season that no fires have occurred in their town. IV. The annual reports of fire wardens for 1896 show there were in that year fifteen less forest and prairie fires caused ody railroad locomotives than in 1895. There is, however, much room for fur- ther improvement. An engineer whose lo- zom¢ sets fire a second time should be prosecuted. It would not be advisable, however, on making arrest to take him from his train, but he should have a week or ten days’ notice in which to appear and answer before the court. Such offenses likewise indictable by the we it to themselves to see n their dist a marked e of fires caused by railroad loco- and jury. y made have for put- and dis: t has been public months that fi to obtain pa Such criminal eedings may have occur but they certainly Fire wardens who d n few zannot be tances, >mmon. ~ ONE WOMAN'S WORK. The Hard Life of Toil Experienced by the Indian Woman Seems Incred- ible to Their White Sisters of To-day. Perfect Health Gave Them Power. Their Knowledge of Disease and How to Oure it the Secret of Their Health and Their Ability to Accomplish Won- ders, ‘The Indian women were proverbially strong, bealthy and hearty. Such diseases as are common with women of today were unknown to them. They were worthy, indeed, to be the mothers of a race that has become known to history as possessing lives of great duration free from pain and sickness. ‘The reason was due simply to the then great knowledge of the Indians as how to cure disease by the aid of Nature’s remedies. The Kickapoo Indian squaws, for any derangements of the female organs, used what is to-day known as Kick- apoo Indian Prairie Plant, and to it do they attribute their long life and perfect health. Kickapoo Indian Prairie Plant is identically the same to-day fa as it was when “@ = used by the EH Kickapoo Indi- ‘ Ss GC \ an women, and yj can to-day be had } y) of any druggist for $1 a pack- age. Itis quick ~~ in ite action, giving al- most in- stant re- lief, and is positive in its effect, having vt accomplished many cures that seem nothing short of miracu- lous. The follow- ing letter, in this connection, will ff explain itself: — “Kickapoo Indian Medicine Co., Gentle- men: J have used your Kickapoo Indian Prairie Plant now for three weeks. I find it has afforded me the greatest relief. I have spoken of it to several of my friends who have been troubled in a manner similar to myself, and they intend to purchase it at once. Yours gratefully, Mrs. Hester Milter, Revere, Mo.” To sufferers who are not exactly sure of the cause of their trouble we would advise sending for our pamphlet entitled the Kickapoo Indian Doctor, which is filled with useful information. It will give you particulars in regard to vari- ous symptoms of diseases and their cure, mailed free to any address by the Kickapoo Andian Medicine Company, New Maven,Conn, have reason to suspect any offense of this sort should, for the honor of their community, have it stopped, and it is hoped they will use a wise course and accomplish such object. VI. Several complaints have been re- ceived from fire wardens that the county commissioners have refused to audit their accounts. Under Section 8, of the Forest Preservation Act of April 18, 1895, county commissioners have authority, and it is their duty, to reject any item or account if they are not satisfied of its justice. They cannot, however, arbitrarily refuse to audit (examine and settle) an ac- count. If they were to so do, or unjustly disallow accounts they would practically nullify the law. It is their duty to “audit” the accounts of fire wardens and their helpers and allow what, as fair- minded men, they are _ satisfied is just. Section 8, of Chapter 91, of the General Laws of Minnesota applies to all public officers. VII. The diffusion of knowledge in re- spect to forestry will promote observance of the Forest Preservation Act. When people understand how much the wealth of our state could be increased by a proper management of its forest resources they will be much more careful about causing forest fires. Forestry means the raising of timber on land not suitable for agriculture. In Saxony and Wurtemberg (among other countries) which have long had superior forestry management, a con- tinuous annual net profit of from $3 to $4 per acre is derived from the forests. If Minnesota will lay the foundations of a good forestry system (and the prevention of forest fires is the first important step in such a system) it will build up a con- tinuous, increasing and grand labor-fur- nishing resource, and those who are doing ever so humble a part in the feeble begin- ning of this work may feel that they are rendering honorable service to their com- munity and state. Thoysands of new settlers and farmers in the older states made the great mis- take of clearing up land that was only suitable for forest. From such tracts they obtained a very few crops and then the land rapidly degenerated till now it is, in many places, but little else than naked sand. Whereas, if they had left such tracts in forest it would have been a source of continuous profit to them. Many settlers in Northern Minnesota are re- peating the same mistake. It would be more profitable for them if they would look further into the future and retain in forest every acre that is really unsuit- able for agriculture. he more you can interest people in the important sudject of forestry the lighter will be your work of enforcing the law. Very respectfully, —C. C. Andrews, Chief Fire Warden. Fell In His First Battle. Word was received at Haverhill re- cently of the death of John Prousiang, of that city, in one of the recent bat- tles in Greece. Prousiang, with his brother, enlisted just before the war broke out, but the latter was struck blind in New York, and could not go. He is now with friends in Lowell. John Prousiang, however, kept on, and landed in Greece about a week after the war was declared. He fell in his first battle—Springfield Republican.

How Successful Farmers Operate This Department of the Farm—A Few Hints as to the Care of Live Stock and Poultry. Hyatt on Hard Milking. X. HYATT, writing in Creamery Ga- zette, says: Mr. Samuel Fryer, of Plymouth county, Iowa, writes: “I have a two-year-old cow, and when she had a calf last fall I could hardly get the milk out of one teat it milked so hard, and it is still that way. Is there anything that I can do to remedy it?” I know of but one safe way to dilate the valve of the hard milking teat. As soon as possible after the cow calves, milk the teat with a strong hand. Put on all the force that will do. Do not allow the calf to suck the teat, and do not get any milk on the teat. Go to the heifer every hour or two and milk some big streams. Keep the teat di- lated until the udder is contracted and again normal. This beats all the rub- ber plugs and teat dilators man inven- ted, but it does not destroy teats. I believe the good authority, C. P. Goodrich, was right that in 99 cases out of a 100 it injures more than it benefits by meddling with their “in- side fixings.” I go it once more. I have not used a milk tube, plug or teat dilator in twenty years and my mind must change materially if I ever do again. Never milk a hard milking cow with wet teats. It makes them milk harder every year. One of the most valuable cows I have milked so hard when younger if I had not learned how to make her milk easier she must have gone dry. By what is called down in the bones” I can tell (any one can tell if they will try) when a cow is near to calving, and some one should be about to know that she gets assistance in time if needed. More than half of my cows are better for the assistance Cochin blood in them, from the fact that their ancestors produced single combs and feathered legs. For gen- eral purposes the Wyandotte has proved a success, being of medium size, weighing on an average a pound less than the Plymouth Rock fowl, hardy of constitution, and prolific lay- ers. They are easily cared for and bear confinement well. For table pur- poses they are of superior worth; their flesh is sweet, juicy, and tender, mak- ing excellent broilers and roasters. As layers they are among the best, aver- aging from twelve to fourteen dozens a year, and as winter layers they do well under ordinary circumstances, There are five varieties of the Wyan- dotte class, and it is only a matter of opinion as regards a choice of the best. The general characteristics are the same in all, the difference in color of plumage being the only distinguish- ing mark. The Silver-Laced Wyan- dotte is of a silvery-white plumage, with regularly marked white lacing on breast and a generous distribution of white and black throughout the en- tire body. The cock has a_silver- white head, rose comb, silver hackle, with a black stripe down the center of each feather; silvery white back; saddle same as hackle; breast black, with white center; tail black; wings half black and half white, or rather, black edged with white; wher wing is folded there should be a well-de- fined bar across the wing; shanks and toes rich yellow, free from feathering. The hen of the Silver-laced variety (fig. 5) is marked similarly to the male, excepting the back and wing, which are whiter in male than in fe- male. The breast of female is of much importance in breeding good birds; the lacing should be large and distinct, the white centers of each feather to be free from black or brown penciling. Tuberculin Test in France. The French government has recently issued a decree that will affect all ship- pers of cattle to that country, the order being in effect that no cattle can be im- ported and retained unless they have been tested on the frontier by the tu- berculin test and found free of tuber- culosis. This measure has become im- perative owing to the prevalence of the above disease among bovine stocks, the serious loss that has resulted to stock owners, and the menace to public Something About Centipedes, Mrs. Murray Hill—You've got centi- pedes in Texas, haven’t you? Col. Snort—Lots of ’em. “Have they really got 100 feet?” “Certainly.” “Great Scott—100 feet!

I have saved the lives of some and great suf- fering for many by seeing to it that at calving time they are not neglected. I say this to show you how easy it is to prevent the calf sucking a hard milker. A-cow that milks so easy, so that she leaks her milk, can be cured gen- erally by the very reverse. Let the calf suck a few days, and any milking you do, do not put on much force. In this way milk leaking can be stopped. I have a valuable cow that had her teat stepped on while in the barbarous stanchions. For awhile I just about gave the teat up. She was within three months of calving and I dried her up in two weeks. It would take a half hour to get a pint from that teat. The very end was injured. I was curi- ous to know whether the injured teat could ever be milked again. She calved and I was on hand, and as I have cut- lined, I got a nice stream from the in- jured teat. It never has milked quite as nice as before she was hurt. The teat spatters considerably. I have no doubt the teat would long ago have been defunct if I had stuck tubes, plugs, or dilators into it. Be patient, Brother Fryer. Milk away until she is dry, and at the next calf try my remedy. Look out how you meddle with the inside fixings of the teats of a milch cow. They are wonderfully made. Standard Varieties of Chickens Wyandottes.—The Wyandotte is another of the general purpose fowls and is rated next to the Plymouth Hock. From the first they sprang in- to popular favor and have continued so to the present time. Their origin is comparatively recent, dating back less than twenty-five years. They came originally from the Dark Brah- ma, Silver Spangled Hamburg, and the Bredas, a French fowl. Not a few au- thorities say that Wyandottes have health. The order particularly affects the import of British breeding stock. In the past few years a syndicate of French breeders of Shorthorns has, through the aid of the French govern- ment, purchased numbers of high-bred Shorthorns in Great Britain with the object of improving the cattle of that breed in. their own country. Among their purchases have been some of the best Shorthorn bulls brought out at the shows of the Royal Agricultural So- ciety of England. Under the new regu- lation of the French government the above syndicate finds it must refuse to purchase any cattle that will not come out clear from the tuberculin test. Re- cent experience under this order brings out this emphatic refusal, two or three of the bulls purchased in Great Britain haviiig proved tuberculous and having to be destroyed. One of these was Lord Polwarth’s ‘“Nonsuch’—champion at the Royal Show at Leicester—and pur- chased at a price closely approaching $5,000. Under the circumstances the de- cision of the syndicate is hardly sur- prising. The example of the French government has been followed by the Canadian—that no cattle shall be im- ported into the Dominion unless war- ranted free of tuberculosis as tested by the tuberculin test. The poultry editor of the Farmers’ Review believes that mixed flocks of general purpose fowls do not average more than 100 eggs per year per bird, and his belief is based on figures of egg production carefully kept for years. Therefore, select the birds, and choose a special fowl for a special purpose.
