It is truo that nature and a woman's
work naa produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that tho world has
ever known. From tho roots and
herbs of tho field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gavo to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever com
pounded, nnd today Lydia E. Pinkham'a
Vegetablo Compound is rocognized
from coast to coast as tho standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In tho Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass., nro files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek

over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetablo Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them

Man Who Knew Very Well That
It Was Raining.
"It's qulto a heavy shower wo'ro

who had entered with his clothes
soaked and his umbrella dripping.
"Yes, sir," replied tho stranger, testi
ly, "it is a heavy shower; but you havo
failed to remark also tho Interesting
facts that tho shower is falling down
ward from above, that It's a wot show

of the streot. Also ypu havo neglected
to observo that this Is the year 1914,
that tho earth is round, and that thero

about tho weather."
And tho stranger walked away, with
a glitter of vlndicUvo triumph In his

Languago Not Likely to Last. '

whoso death was announced lately,
has been likened to Robert Burns for

was child's play compared with Mis

of expression. Provencal bad lost ev
ery resomblanco to a literary tonguo,
and tho now poet-patriot had to mold
It afresh, to ro-creato and to build up
on tho ruins loft by tho vineyard and
tho farm. "Our Provencal," said Mis
tral, "was a country lass, ragged and

F EVERY man, woman and child ia tho
United States Vwould refrain from eat
ing veal, tho meat problom In this coun
try would bo solved within ten year's.
Every year thero aro 10,000,000 calves
killed In tho United States. It requires
tWO years for n. enlf to hnonmn n tnnr.
ketablo beof. If Undo Sam woro to bring about a
two-year recess in tho veal-eating habit of his sub
jocts, thero certainly would bo a reduction In tho
cost of meat. If every person In every land wero
to doprlvo themselves of this luxury for a period
of ten years wo would havo tho greatest supply of
meat In tho history of tho world.
Tho United States census of 1009 shows that
6.500,562 calves wero killed that year. Tho Shoo
and Leather Reporter of Boston, which Is an au
thority on tho number of calf skins used by tho
tanners, and tho skins from all calves killed in
tho United States must ovontually reach that end,
estimates that tho increaso each year in tho num
ber of calves killed In tho past ton years amounts
to from seven per cent to ten per cent. Therefore,
tho number killed In 1912 would bo 9,000,000, and
In 1913 or last year, 9.600.000. Theso figures aro
obtained from statistics from all killing points in
tho United States.
Of course, for every calf that Is killed it means
wuu iohh iuii-grown steer
or cow, and for each of
theso that wo loso it
means approximately 800
pounds of meat
In 1907 the United
States census reports 72,
600.000 cattle, Including
calves, In this country, and
In 1913 tho figures show
56,600,000, a decreaso of
-10,000,000. With an In
creaso of from seven per
cent to ten per cent In tho
number of calves killed
each year, resulting in 9,
600,000 In 1913, it is evi
dent that this is the larg-est-
factor in bringing
about $ho decreaso In our
cattlo population, and ono
can only guess what' tho
results will bo in a few
years more If the present
conditions aro continued.
Tho causes for theso conditions aro many; tho
principal one, however, is tho demands from tho
dairying districts which require milk for butter
and choeso, as well bb for daily consumption, and
tho farmer must naturally get rid of tho young
calf as Boon as poasiblo if ho expects to obtain
tho mother's milk for theso purposes. Therefore,
as soon as tho calf Is old enough It Is sold to
tho butcher.
Tho average weight of a veal calf is 140
pounds, which if permitted to llvo and attain its
full growth at, say two years, would weigh 1,000
pounds, a gain of 860 pounds, and if wo woro to
Bavo half of tho calves that aro now "killed It
would bo a saving of 4,000,000,000 pounds per
annum, nnd after figuring tho loss In by-products
this would produce about 2,000,500,000 pounds of
beef, or about twenty-olght pounds to each per
son In tho.Unlted States, to say nothing of tho
natural gain in money valuo.
Thoreforo the economic question Involved, and
It is ono that affects our whole population. Tho
pathotlc side does not appeal to many, but also
has Its adherents. There aro thousands of calves
killed weekly In this city, all under ono year old.
After that they are classed as cattle.
Tho usual age of a calf Is about four to six
weeks, and tho llttlo four-week-old white calf In
Iho plcturo was taken away from Its mother, ex
pressed to the commission man and was sold to
tho killers. -
A national law which should prevent tho kill
ing of calves in order that they may grow up
Into beef animals, thereby increasing tho supply
9f beof, was advocated recently by Dr. L. H.
Bailey, formerly director of tho New York Stato
Collego of Agriculture, in tho course of an ad
dress on the subject which he delivered at Ithaca,
N. Y.
"It is the common assumption that we aro
now suffering under a shortage of beef," said Dr.
Bailey. "Thero havo been many suggestions
looking toward tho increasing of the supply. To
it certain type of mind, tho simplest way of regu
lating or overcoming an economic law Is by an
act of tho legislature. Therefore ft Is proposed
that congress shall make it a misdemeanor for
farmer to kill his calves, theroby allowing them
to maturo, Into beef animals. It becomes a most
Interesting problem as to whetherNcongress would
bo successful In compelling a man to keep an
inlmal when it Is unprofitable for him to do so,
Dr when tho keeping of it would not combine
with his plan of farming. I think that thoro
ought also to bo a law compelling farmers to
havo their hens lay eggs in . November and Do
comber. "Tho reason why farmers kill their veals Is
wholly economic It does not pay them to raise
tho animals to maturity. Feed Is too high-priced
In tho main dairy regions. Tho feeding season
Is long. It may pay a man better to put his feed
Into milk in such regions. Sometimes It pays
bettor to kill tho calves at birth than to try to
feed them even to tho veallng ago. No legisla
tors can oompel a man to conduct hlB personal
business Operations at a saoriflco or a loss. It
Is posslblo in somo cases that a reorganization
of a farming business might enablo a farmer to
ralso moro animals to maturity, but this Is a mat
ter that lies without tho province of law.
"For mysolf I wish that thero was less eating
of veal nnd that tho peoplo would regulate their
desires in this regard. Years ago thero waB a
teason when wo ate veal. This B6.ison was per-

haps two months. Thero was also a season when
we nto oysters, and fresh codfish, and green peas,
and tomatoes. Now wo want anything or every
thing every month In tho year. Wo aro forget
ting what tho year means to us, and wo are also
losing tho great economic advantage of buying
In season and of buying Intelligently. Probably
veal Is usually Inferior to maturo meat In nutri
tive value; but I am less concerned m this aspect
of tho caso than in the fact that we are losing
tho meaning of the months. Loss demand for
veal would do moro than any law toward cor
recting somoof our difficulties; but even bo, tho
farmer will not raise tho mature animal unless
It prfys him to do so.
"I think that much could bo done to stlmulato
tho production of beef by providing for local
manipulating nnd manufacturing establishments.
Wo hnvo developed local co-operative creameries,
co-operatlvo grain elovators, shipping associa
tions, evaporating establishments and others. I
should llko to seo tho development of local
slaughter houses, in charge of tho raisers of
meat. In nil tho localities In which it can pay to
raise beef and other meats. Tho industry un
doubtedly can bo stimulated and encourngod and.
tho farmer would havo moro control, both of his
output and of his market, nnd havo moro confi
dence in his business. I think that n co-operatlvo
Blauglitor hou3o In which tho farmers them
selves, would bo Interested Is bettor bo far bb
production Is concerned than a municipal slaugh
ter house, which la moro or less removed from
tho control and sympathies of thd men who pro
duce the supplies. Of courso, the slaughter house
should bo rlghlly Inspected, but this can bo done
as well under ono establishment as under tho
other.
"Tho legal aspects of this proposed voal leg
islation I should think would bo very interesting.
It Is a question whether it is within tho power
o( congress or any legislature to enact such a
law. ' Tho federal government, as I understand It,
possesses ho general pollco power. It probably
could not prevent tho killing of veals except
when Intended for Interstate commerco; and It
would then havo to bo shown that thoro was
somo other reason than mero economic ad
vantage. "It 1b a question whether such legislation would
bo a violation of the guarantee against tho taking
of property without duo process; nnd It is not
only a question of tho taking of property, but
also of tho Internal economic regulation of a
man's business, modifying his fnnn scheme as
far as tho raUlng of food Is concerned, tho em
ployment of labor, tho buying of feed, and tho
shifting of tho business In general. To ralso
'beef cattlo Is ono business; to ralso milk Is an
other business; 7ea 1b mostly a product of tho
milk business. ' Probably much can bo dono to
modify tho present order of things and to In
creaso tho beef supply on tho farm in many parts
ot tho United States, but it must bo dono With
an understanding of tho farm buslnoss, the sizo
of tho farm, and of tho locality or region in
which It pnys to ralso beef rather than to raise
something else."

DEVELOPING THE HEIFER
PROF. J. A. M'CLEAN,
Department Animal Husbandry, Massachusetts State Agricultural College.
Improvement In tho dairy can be achieved only
by raising and developing heifers into cows that
aro superior to their mothers. Tho proper selec
tion of tho Biro is ono of tho greatest Influences
In tho Improvement of tho herd, but of equal Im
portance is tho growing and dovoloplng of tho
young things after they aro born, for tho best
bred calf may dovelop into a scrub cow if It re
ceive scrub treatment.
Granting that tho calf Is born right, duocaro
must bo taken particularly during its first threo
months. For tho first twenty-four hours, let It
suck Its mother. This Is better for both tho cow
and tho calf. After tho first day remove tho
youngster from Its mother and for at least ten
days feed upon wholo milk. If tho calf Is doing
well at tho end of that tlmo skim milk may grad
ually be substituted for tho wholo milk, till by tho
end of three weeks tho calf Is entirely upon skim
milk. As soon as tho calf will begin to eat grain
feed a mixture of bran, corn and crushed oat3
mixed in equal parts by weight, allowing It to
havo as much as It will clean up twlco a da.
Tho Bkim milk should bo continued until six
months of age, although the amount should never
greatly exceed 15 pounds per day.
At about six weeKs of ago calves generally be
gin to ent rbughago, and It Is very Important to
furnish them with ns much roughago of oxcellent
quality as thoy will eat, for hay or grass Is nec
essary for tho proper development of tho calf.
Wo Rant our dairy cows to have great digestive
capacity; to got this they must begin early to eat
good hay. Thero Is no better hny than alfalfa of
high quality. Whero it Is riot obtainable mixed
clover hay or rowen will bo found most oxcollont.
To tho above feeds ndd healthful conditions such
as comfortable, moderately warm quarters, fresh
air, cloanllness, Bunllght (clean food palls and
feed troughs or buckets aro absolutely essential)
and oxerclalng opportunities and at tho end of
six months tho heifer should hnvo mado an ex
cellent start.
Most calves aro dropped In tho spring of tho
year; yot I bollovo bettor results are obtained if
tho heifers dropped In tho early fall aro kept for
the herd, for calves dropped then aro nearly six
months old when grass comos and aro then
largo enough to withstand files nnd other sum
mor troubles nnd can mako tho best uso of tho
grass. Spring calves .will do as well If kept In
tho stables during tho first summer, for, llko chil
dren, they aro subject to slight disorders, which
although not serious should not bo neglected.

Japanese Drinking Saloons Realize

Japaneso saloons havo tho Ameri
can habit of always providing refresh

customers. They nro not partial to
sandwiches; usually It la a dish of
borrings or octopus, and tho prlco Is
threo sen. It Is seldom that a man
kan get away from a saloon without
spending at least 20 sen, which Is n

plcturo of a protty girl on anything
Is t tho very best advortlsomont. So
tho Japaneso think, too: and what la
I moro, they prove it. At thoso saloons,
In tho East end, thero is always a
pretty girl assisting tho matron ot tho
placo; and sho la permitted 10 wait
on customers. Tho Japaneso bar
maid has all the infiuonco that her
counterpart has in tho WoBt. Her
faco Is sufntlentfto mako every pass-cr-by
imagino ho is thirsty; and when
sho proposes to servo him, ho never
refuses; and In tho ond ho foots tho

tho roughest customers feci for the mo

sho Is a fair lady como to do blm
honor. Who could refuso to accept
so dellcato a favor from euch dainty
hands, and under tho light of such

is finished and tho money Is paid,
tho relationship Is at an end. An
other customer by this tlmo Is wait

turn of conversing with beauty, must
be content until thirsty again. Rack
ho will likely como noxt day, and
drink another glass to tho health of

goes on from day to day, tho pretty

Thero was a far-away look upon his faco, and ho was holding In his mouth
