seemed to have settled in my body to , was turned on, and the incandescent
stay and my bitter experience during
the last thirteen years proved that
to be the ease. I was of course a child
and never dreamed of the sufferings«in
store for me. I complained to my pa-
rents and they concluded that in time
I would outgrow my trouble, but when
they heard ine groaning* during my
sleep they became thoroughly alarmed.
Medical advice was sought but to no
avail, I grew rapidly worse and was
soon unable to move about and finally
became confined continually to my bed.
The best doctors that could be had
were consulted, but did nothing for me.
I tried various kinds of extensively ad-
vertised patent medicines with but
the same result.
"For twelve long years I was thus a
sufferer in constant agony without re-
• spite, abscesses formed on my body in
rapid succession and the world indeed
looked very dark to me. About this
time when all hope was gone and noth-
ing seemed left but to resign myself to
my most bitter fate mv attention was
called to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People. Like a drowning man
grasping at a straw, in sheer despera-
tion 1 concluded to make one more at-
tempt—not to regain my health (I dare
not to hope so much) but if possible to
ease my pain.
"I bought a box of the pills and they
seemed to do me good. 1 felt encour-
aged and continued their use. After
taking six. boxes I was up and able to
walk around the house. I have not
felt so well for thirteen years as during
the past year. Only one year have I
taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I
am able now to do chores and attend
to light duties.
"Do I hesitate to let you publish
what I have said? No. Why should
I? It is the truth and I am only
too glad to lot other sufferers know my
experience. It may help those whose
cup of misery is as full today as mine
was in the past."
I)r. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in
a condensed form, all the elements
necessary to give new life and richness
to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They build up the blood, and
restore the glow of health to pale and
sallow cheeks. Pink Pills are sold in
boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents
a box or six boxes for $~.50, and may
be had of all druggists, or direct by

filament drew fish from far and near,
igreaily surpassing in its effects on the
•hauling of the net the most irresist-
Jble of baits. Now an Albany man has
(devised an "electrical net," which
Iworks very much after the same fash-
lion, except that the electric light used
jls fixed above the water Instead of be
low its surface. When the light is
placed in position, tho nets are set
either to seaward of it or around it,
flat upon the bottom. When the flsh
are drawn to the lamp a rubber tube
which runs along the top of the net
is Inflated by a pump in the boat, the
upper edge of the net will rise to the
surface—the lower edge being held
down by sinkers—and the fish are
caught. A New Yorker has made a
modification of the California plan in
using submerged lights. He simply
puts a three-candle-power lamp in a
quart preserving jar, lowers it in the
water, and runs it with a sewing ma-
chine battery. He recommends those
who wish to follow his example not to
spend $20 on a battery, but buy an elec-
tric handbook and, with three goblets
securely fastened in a plain wooden
box, make for themselves for about
$2.50 a battery which works just as
well. He says that night fishing be-
comes a very lively sport if the light
is placed anywhere in the neighborhood
of flsh. They swim around and spend
considerable time Investigating, but as
soon as their curiosity is satisfied, they
get down to business and discuss the
baited hook which is dangling near-by.

Having had, years before, an uu-
fortunate experience in harvesting a
crop of rye, we resolved that In the
future hogs, instead of machinery,
should harvest it. and with last year's
experience with the crop we feel that
our resolution was a gooil one.
During the growing season for the
rye, the mammoth clover sown In it
gave very poor promise; it was a ques-
tion whether it would stand the com-
bined Influences against it, that or
drouth and the rye drawing the mois-
ture from the soli. That it was held
In check on this latter account was
plainly evident from the fact that on l a j)0t„to crop than under normal

It stands to reason that the turnip
will make a poor success of utilizing a
material that the potato has not been
able to assimilate.
In considering a fertilizer for any
crop, the most Important conside.a- j
tioti is the actual needs of the top
itself of the three elements of fertility. |
That is: In what proportion will those j
elements exist in the vegetable for- |
niatlon. One hundred pounds of nitro-
gen in potatoes is accompanied by 177
pounds of potash and thirty-niue
of phosphoric acid. If either of these
three elements Is wanting, the crop
will be measured by the missing ele-
ment. If, for instance, there was no
available potash in the soil, there
would be no potatoes, and the same
thing Is equally true of nitrogen and
phosphoric acid. It Is evident that
potatoes are heavy potash users. Tur-
nips also require a high potash propor-
tion; 100 pounds of nitrogen being ac-
companied by 'JUS pounds of potash
and 72 pounds of phosphoric acid. It,
therefore, seems very probable that
potash will be relatively more deficient

Some Interesting experiments have
been made on the visibility of the elec-
tric light at sea by the government of
the United States, Germany and the
fjetherlands. The word "visible" In
the report on the tests means visible
pn a dark night with a clear atmos-
phere. The result of the experience of
the German committee was that a
white light of one candle power was
visible 1.4 miles on a dark, clear night,
(ind one mile on a rainy night. The
American tests resulted as follows: In
very clear weather a light of one candle
power was plainly visible at one nauti-
cal mile; one of three candle power at
two miles; one of ten candle power was
seen by the aid of a binocular at four
miles; one of twenty-nine candle pow-
er faintly at five miles, and one of thir-
ty-three candle power plainly at five
miles. On an exceptionally clear night
n white light of 3.2 candle power was
readily distinguished at three miles;
one of 5.6 candle power at four miles
and one of 17.2 candle power at five
miles. In the Dutch experiments the
pesults were almost similar, but a 16
candle power light was plainly visible
at five miles. For a green light the
power required was two for one mile,
fifteen for two miles, fifty-one for three
miles and 106 for four miles. The re-
sult of tests with a red light were al-
most identical with those with green,

We now have twenty-two acres of
rye growing that we have sowed in
mammoth clover. We shall hog the
rye, and hope l .v its protection to save
the clover from being killed by the
drouth. This is clay land, part of it
quite thin, and we are satislied if the
drouth continues as severe as it has
been, and the rye is taken from the
land, that the clover will all perish.
We are very anxious to save this crop
of clover and bring the field into a reg-
ular three-year rotation. After we have
secured one good crop of clover we
have but little doubt that we shall be
able to keep up the rotations.
By handling the rye in this way we
secure, besides the advantages of a
mulch, all the advantages secured by
turning it under while green. We have |
also learned that we need not be in
great haste to turn the ii"^rs on it to
prevent waste. This spring, the 23d
of April, we found sound rye in tho

and winter were unusually dry, which
favored the preservation <'t" the rye.
But it will stand much more moisture
without decay if the straw is not
tramped too much. When rye is left
to fall by its own weight, aided by
the wind and rain, it will not lie very
flat on the ground; and unless in con-
tact with the soil it will waste but
very little from decay.

very valuable adjunct to the general
farmer, and are easily cared for. It is
surprising that they are not more gen-
erally grown by the general farmer.
In preparing this potato land for
the turnip seed bed, the pulverization
must be thorough and to a consider-
able depth. It is always advisable

We doubt if all sheep owners appre-
ciate the benefit of shelter and shade
for their flocks during the sit
months. In the middle of the day,
some of which are excessively warm,
it is great luxury and comfort to the
sheep fo be afforded a convenient cool \
shed for shade. It is very trying to |
the sheep to have to endure the hot ;
I sun when they have finished their |
j morning meal and lie down to rest, j
j Not only as a shade is the shed valu- |
j able, but contrary to the general Idea, j
I sheep are much troubled and annoy-
ed by flies and other Insects, and of-
ten seek a dark sheltered retreat to j
hide away from these pests. The fly
which causes grub-lii-flie-head is very !
active 111 this season, and if the sheep
are allowed the freedom of a dark cool
slied it greatly reduces the chances of
! any subsequent trouble from this too
often neglected ailment. Fmin the
' very nature of this disease there can J
scarcely be any satisfactory treat-
ment when It once becomes establish-
ed. therefore everything reasonable
should be done to prevent it.
The Team Question.
The worst thing one can do it to fe^l
horses for which he has no use. Hut
when the farmer only needs two
horses, what kind should tliey be?
This depends n great deal upon the
soil of his farm. If bis soil is loose
and easy to farm a pair of horses
weighing from 1,100 to l.pOO is tho
kind he should keep, while on tho
other hand. If Ids soil is not very eas.v
to farm, and It requires a big. strong,
steady team to do his plowing, this l
the kind be should have.
