“A pain I have from eating Jam,” 
Said philosophic Mary Jane; 
"But, oh, how glad, how glad I am 
My bed has got a counterpane ” 
—Harvard Lampoon. 
“I suppose:,” said the city girl, “that 
you have no acolytes in your church.” 
“No! we haven’t,” admitted the village 
cousin, “but we are going to put in elec¬ 
tric lights next Fall.”—Chicago Daily 
News. 
Jkss: “I thought that you hated Jack, 
and yet you accepted him.” Bess: “1 
did hate him; but he proposed under an 
umbrella, and said if 1 refused he would 
let the rain drip on my new hat.”— 
Comic Cuts. 
“Did 1 understand you to say your 
wife said the conversation was brilliant 
and sparkling?” “Those are her exact 
words.” “What was she doing at the 
time?” “Oh. she was furnishing the 
conversation.”—Tit-Bits. 
Naosuy: “How do you suppose that 
landlady of ours can have the face to 
advertise ‘fine hoard?’” Wagsby: “I 
don’t know, unless it is because she 
serves sawdust for breakfast food.”— 
Baltimore American. 
Sue:: “The milliner told me that sne 
had been down to the dentist’s to have 
a nerve killed.” He: “Well, from the 
prices she asks for hats, 1 should say 
the dentist must have killed the wrong 
one.”—Yonkers Statesman.

Dear Sirs :—The "International Stock Food" which I have been 
using for two years has proven entirely satisfacbory. I fed it to 
my brood sows before and after farrowing and it gave excellent 
results. I gave it a good test on some shoats last fall. Three of 
the smallest were placed by themselves and fed two measures of 
"International Stock Food” three times every day. The other lot 
was fed "International Stock Food” three times per week and all 
had same feed and water. At end of 60 days the three weighed 
20 pounds apiece more than the others. Respectfully, 
W. J. WOODDAND, Breeder Duroc-Jersey Hogs.

WATER. 
If you want water only when the wind blows a windmill will do your work 
and costless money than our Rider and Ericsson Hot-Air Pumps, but if you want 
water every day while your flowers are growing and do not want your pump blown 
down when the wind blows too hard, no pump in the world can equal ours. We 
have sold about 20,000 of them during the past twenty-five years, which is proof 
that we are not making wild statements. 
Our Catalogue “C 4” will tell you all about them. Write to nearest store.
