Experience of a Western Farmer
and Mis Family in a New
York Restaurant.
The American Farmer tells of a
Western farmer, who surrounded
i*y a happy family, sat down a
low weeks ago to the usual Sun
day dinner. There were at the
table the father and mother, two
grown sons and two daughters
nearly grown. The principal meat
consisted of a large —very large —
(date of spring chicken fried as it
only can be fried or ever is fried
in the country. The day before,
the farmer had killed a fat South
down wether, which he divided
with a neighbor, and a choice roast
of this, sent its savory odor over
the dining-room, l he list of vege
tables on the table, all fresh from
* well kept garden, included po
tatoes, sweet corn, turnips, beets,
idma beans, string beans with ba
con, egg plant, tomatoes, lettuce,
cabbage, carrots and onions. There
were also three kinds of pie and
two of preserves. During the
ineal the family discussed a con
templated trip to relatives in the
"Fast and a few days afterwards
found themselves in New York,
•where they prepared to spend
some time viewing the sights of
the great metropolis. hen the
moon hour arrived, the farmer
looked for a select restaurant at
which to obtain dinner and as lie
liad plenty of money, was out for
» time and was indulgent with his
family, the best New 'l ork afford
ed was none too good for him.
.Finding an acceptable place they
were all soon seated around a fine
ly furnished table in a vast and
stylishly appointed dining-room.
Ivikmg things at home, it was de
cided to duplicate the dinner they
liad enjo.\ed before leaving the
farm. This required six separate
orders, consisting of fried chick
en, mutton, several vegetables,
L liread and butter, baked apples
mid pic all around. Many of the
home dishes' were left out as sir
jierffuities and it was well this was
done, as turned out in the end.
When the bill was brought in it
was found that “milk fed chick
on” cost $1.50, new Lima beans
£0 cents, baked apples 20 cents,
young beets 30 cents, and so on.
The chicken and mutton were dis
tinctly inferior to the article they
Lad at home, not near so well
cooked and inferior in llavor. All
the vegetables lacked freshness
and were hence deficient in appe
tizing qualities. When it was all
added up, the farmer found that
tus dinner had cost him ^4 apiece
for each one, or £*24 for the six.
Tie whs heard to murmer some
tiling like kk(ieewhillikins, and
■poth> r was noticed to be rolling
i»;) her e\es in astonishment, while
the ho.\ s won den d what the man
would charge for his whole res
taurant at the same rate. Hut the
tanner was brave, things had
tie on coming his way this season
and he concluded he could stand it
«nce in a while, but altogether de
(• ded that the sooner they got
along to the house of their rela
tives the better it would be for
Vis bank account.
This story is enlarged upon for
the purpose of impressing the les
son that every farmer is able to
live much better at home than he
can in the finest hotel or cafe of
the cities. He not only gets all
that one can wish, but in much
Itetter form and quality. The
average prosperous farmer can
live like a prince without knowing
it. The things he has on his table
cannot be duplicated at the W al
dorf Astoria or the Grand Pal
aces, whei'6 they want from four
to ten dollars a day for board. If
farmers could sell the articles
which composed the Sunday din- j
ner above described at a half or
even a fourth of the prices asked
at the swell restaurant, all of them
would soon be millionaires. The
moral, which suggests itself, is of
course, contentment with one’s
condition, arising from knowledge
of the comforts enjoyed, and this
will lead to the further conclusion
that every reasonably prosperous!
farmer can live far better at home j
than he can at any of the most
stylish places abroad.

No Secret About It.
It is no secret, that for cuts,
burns, ulcers, fever sores, sore
eyes, boils, etc., nothing is so ef
fective as Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.
"‘It didn’t take long to cure a bad
sore 1 had, and it is all <). K for
sore eyes,” writes 1). L. Crcgory.

Nervous
Worn-Out
Jf you arc in this condition,
your nerve force is weak—the
power is giving1 out, the or
gans of your body have
“slowed up,” and do their work
imperfectly. This failure to
do the u'ork required, clogs
the system and brings distress
and disease. When the nerves
arc weak the heart is unable
to force the life-giving blood
through your veins; the stom
ach fails to digest food; the
kidneys lack power to filter
impurities from the blood, and
the poisonous waste remains i:i
the system lo breed disease.
Nerve energy must be restored.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine will do it,
because it strengthens the
nerves; it is a nerve medicine
arr1 tonic, that rebuilds the
entire nervous system.
“Several years turn [ was nil broken
down. 1 w::« nerv ' ts. worn-out, could
not sleep, nnd was in constant pain.
I <lo toil d for months, nnd tinutly the
doctor said he could do nothing for
mo. I began taking Or. JIM s'
N> rvinc. and used altogether eight
bottles, and I hcenm" strong end
healthy, and now weigh 170 pounds.”
