WHAT A WOMAN DID.

A farmcr’s wife, writing to an American Agricul-Wm-1 journal, said: “I do not have ‘*o ask my husband for money to keep up the home expenses. During the past year I have sold £6O worth of cream and eggs. I skimmed the cream by hand, and earried the skimmed milk out of the cellar to my chickellS and two pet pigs, which my husband fthought worth so little that they should be killed. 1: fed t.h-‘em; with a, spoon until they were large enough to drink. This fall We killed one of them for meat, weighing 2501 b, and the other one we are going to keep over. Besides this, I raised 300 chickens and a ‘big gglrden. from which

I got 350 head of cabbage, canned 75 quarts of tomatoes, 20 quarts of beets, 50 quarts of corn, five gallons of mongoes, two bushels of navy beans, three bushels of onions, five bushels of sweet potatoes. We had all the fresh garden s’t.'ilff we wanted to use all the time. I raised 150 pumpkins around the garden fence, canned 350 quarts of‘ fruit, and ga:thered"mos:t. of it myself. We raised 3; patch of sugar cane, from which I made 20 gallons of molasses. I heed the cane over twice, and Stripped and topped it myself, and do not think I neglected my housework, either, I kept it. all up, and gwozt three meals a day. I -did my‘ own washing and sewing, and took care of‘ six small children. My home expenses were all kept up, and I have, money left.”

As men and women pass their prime,. The all-eroding wills of time Break down each life sustaining force Arid they to "aids’' must have recourse, i But cough and colds through .every stage Assail from infancy to age; And in each case relief is sufe When using Woods' Great Pepperbint Cure. ? 17
