Her feet became so swollen she could wear nothing on them, her hands were drawn all out of shae Her eyes were swollen shut more than half the time, her knee Joints terribly swollen and for eighteen nioijthsshe had- to be held up to be One Mtnb became entirely helpless, and the skin was so dry and cracked that it would bleed. During these eight years she had been treated hy a score of physicians, and has also pent much time at Ann Arbor under hest medical advice. All said her troble was brought on by hard work that medicine would not cure, and tbet rest was the only thing which would ease her. After going to ID with her daughter she became entirely helpless and could not even raise her arms to cover herself at night. The Interesting part of the story follows In her own words "I was urged to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and at last did so. In three days after I commenced taking Pink Pills I could sit up and dress mjself, and after using them six weeks I went home and commenced working. I continued taking the pills, until now I begin to forget my crutches-ancan go up and down steps without ld I am truly a living wonder. "Now, If I can say anything to Induce those who have suffered as I have to try Pink Pills, I shall gladly do so. If other like sufferers will try Pink Pills according to directions, will have reason to thank God forthey creating men who are able to eonquer that terrible disease, rheumatism. I have In my own neighborhood recommended Pink Pills for the after effects of la grippe, and weak women with Impure blood, and with good results." Mrs. Todd is very strong In her faith In the curative powers of Pink Pills, and says they have brought a poor, helpless cripple back to do her own milking, churning, washing, sewing, knitting and in fact about all of her household duties. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new Ufa and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mall from Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., for 60c per box, or six boxes for $2.60. Announcing tha Engagement. An engagement should be announced first by the family of the bride-elec- t, writes Nlra llurton Harrison in tbe March Ladles Home Journal. This if done either verbally or informally to friends, or by note to those whom it la desired shall receive early information. The man may at the same time write to those of his friends whom he desires to have share In hla happiness and whom the girls family could not so well reach. Churlish, indeed, would the spirit to withhold interest in a new engagement, and the telling of it by tbe principals almost always inspires a kindly feeling for them In those told. Lovers have, perhaps, the d claim to thinking themselves of first interest to a community of any class of people, and are quite entitled to assume all the honors and privileges of the situation. Several articles which are an outcome of Julian Ralphs voyage to China, undertaken in the interests of Uarper'f Magazine and Harper s Weekly, will be published in the Magazine during the eummer months.

Mr. Kastman Make a fresh starter" every day, and use the milk of the cow last to come fresh in milk. That IS kbout-Lwe- lve lit.ijtaold ."It is no trouble to make it. If you churn day prepare the starter the morning before. Q. Can you make as good butter from deep setting creatn as from that from open pans?j Mr. Eastman 1 dont know why. W e have had fully as good success; but just as good butter has been made from cream raised in the open pans as in the submerged cans, llut oftentimes the conditions are such, especially in summer, that this can not be done. As a rule the maker can not control the conditions of milk in open pans as he can in the gravity process; especially - is this true during thunder showers, and sudden changes of temperature would not affect submerged milk. QWill butter made from cream raised in open pans keep as well as that from deep setting cream? Mr. Eastman We, have never kept butter, therefore I am unable to answer the question. We sell onr butter as fast as made, but 1 know of no reason why butter well made from such cream should not keep. Q. What causes white flakes in - young, calves should get sweet akimou!d pot he natnulk, There are two or three principal causes for these white specks found in butter. As a rule they are found in butter made from cream raised, in open pans. They are bits of dried cream which come off the seams or edges of the pans. Being hard and dry they will not churn. If the churn is stopped when the butter is in the granular form, and the butter floated, these specks will be drawn off in the butter milk or be washed out of the granules, if the work is well done. If they get into the batter they will produce rancidness very rapidly. are bits which were thrown up dnring the cream raising process When the pan of milk has been left too long before skimming, a slight mold will , form on tha wader aid el the film of cream, and these caselne flecks will adhere to it. They then get into the chnrn just as the dried cream flecks do, and should receive the same treatment. The flecks or specks are not found in separator cream, and as a rule, not in submerged cans. Q. Hag, the of cows dehorning proven satisfactory to those who have adopted the practice? Mr. Eastman We have heard this question discussed at very many institutes in this state daring tbe last two years, and a diversity of opinion expressed concerning the advisability of its operation, a few opposing it and many commending it. VVe have never found a man, however, who has had hjs herd dehorned who would have the horns put back again if he could. All were well pleased at the result and only those men who have never had the horns taken from their cows, and therefore know nothing about tbe results or effects, and the few agents of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and who are paid for their work in making war on those who have had. their cows dehorned, are making any opposition to the practice. Q. I? tuberculosis an infectious dis- ease?' Mr. Eastman Yes; that is, the scientists say it is. The disease may be transmitted from one animal to another when both drink from the same pall or trough, or eat from the same manger. The diseased animal leaves saliva in the water or manger which the well cow takes In her food. It is also claimed that the diseased animal will also convey it to other animals which feed in the same pasture. The sputa left on the grass becoming dried and powdered is blown about and, falling on the grass the well cows eat, they become diseased from taking the germ Into their stomachs. It is also said that the disease can not be taken from the breath of the diseased cows. Q. Which two breeds of cows are best for milk or butter? Eastman I don't know' just what ia meant from the question. I want a cow that will give me at least 6,000 pounds of milk in a year, and do it for the least possible cost When I find that I have such fc eow I keep her, never inquiring about her pedigree or of what breed she is. I don't care of what breed she eomes. Performance at the pail k what eounts; 5,000 or mofe pounds of good milk given in ten months suite me better than pedigree, color or breed. We want a cow that will givens a' profit on the eosi of food and care. .They are ia all the breeds, just as the scrubs are in all breeds, and we must get introduced and be made acquainted with them.

Mr. Eastman , Medical Auoclatioa, Ns. MJ Mate St, BUFFALO, At Y. Cholern, L. N. Can Barr writes, saying: you or any of your readers tell me oi a cure for chicken cholera. I have been losing from three to five a week. I have tried pepper tea without any good effect. We nave no confidence in remedies for chicken cholera, and believe the prevention la the only thing that can be done. When cholera, breaks out among fowls the first thing to be done is to separate the sick from the well fowls. At once give a change of food which should he of a nourishing character. Many writers believe in giving iron in some form. The old method was to put rusty nails in the drinking water. English poultrymen use what is known as Douglas' Mixture., Thl can be made by putting eight ounce of ettlpiw oi I raw (mlma nailed eeppara or green vitriol) into a jug; never use a metallic vessel) with two gallons oi water, adding ona ounce of aulphurlt acid (oil of vitriol). The ingredient can be obtained of any druggist. Thit medicine is to be put into the drinking water in the proportion of a teaspoonful to a pint, und Is found to be useful tonic. Ae soon as the disease break out give this to the sick fowls, and also to the well orffet to hel; them resist the disease. One writer say that he made a saturated aolution of alum, and whenever a bird was attacked, gave it two oi three teaspoonfuls, repeating the dose next day. He mixed their feed,Indian meal, with alum water for a week. After adopting thai course he lost nc fowls. Others advocate cayenne pepper, gunpowder and turpentine, feeding a little every other day for a week. Fowls that are well fed, well housed, and kept in a dry place, will seldom have cholera. In fact we do not know that they ever have it when properly handled, We would like to hear further about the place where these chickens were kept, whether there were anycold drafts allowed to strike them at night, or whether their pens are cold, damp and dark. Also, wbst has been their food? Tnbarraloa Balkan Now comes a new danger. It ha been generally conceded that though milk from tuberculous cows might be dangerous the butter was not so. The bacilli, being heavier than the cream, sank to the bottom and left the butter pure. An Englkh exchange hat the foUowing: The statktics of slaughtered animal in Prussia, Hanover, Switzerland and other European countries show that from 2 to 13 per cent of the cattle are tuberculous, yet tbe milk must in We can most cases hare been so. guard against tuberculous milk by sterilization, bu now danger k threatened us from the butter. Several butter year ago neim showed that a from tuberculous milk - contained bacilli and"' could produce infection. Bang reached similar conclusions. Prof. Roth of Zurich has, however, recently made experiments of more striking . significance.., He went into, the markets and purchased butter from twenty different sources, representing different cantons of (Switzerland. He then Inoculated guinea pigs with this butter. In eighteen seriesof experiments the results were negative, but in two the inoculations were fol lowed by tuberculosis In other words, 10 per cent of the butter of the Swiss market contained tubercle bacilli. Quite independently of Roth, Dr. Bmsaferro of Turin made experiments with the batter of the Italian market.
