WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi
cln Co.
Women who nro well often nslc "Are
tho lottera which tho Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. nro continually publishing,
Conuine?" "Are they truthful?"
" Why do women write ouch lottera? "
In answer wo Bay that novcr have wo
published a fictitious lotter or name.
Never, knowingly, liavo wo published
an untruthful letter, or ono without tho
full and written consent of tho woman
who wrote It.
Tho reason that thousands of women
from nil parts of tho country write such
grateful lottera to tho Lydin E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetablo Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
It has relioved women from soma of
tho worst forma of female ills, from dis
placements, inflammation, ulceration,
irregularities, nervousness, wezkness,
tomach troubles and from tho blues.
It is impossible for any woman who
Is well and who
has never suffered
to realize how theso
poor, suffering wo
men feel when re
stored to health:
their keen desire Xo
belp other women
who are suffering as 1
they did.

KILLING MILK BACTERIA
No Objection to Pasteurization
When Properly Done.
Seems Probable That Within Few
Years Supply for Large Cities" Will
Be Thus Treated Three Proc
esses Now In Use.
There Is no valid objection to pas
teurization when properly performed,
and the process inukes snfer oven the
nost carefully handled and Inspected
milk. It seems probable that within
Iho next two years a large proportion
jf tho milk supply In the largo cities
vlll bo pasteurized. There Is already
a marked tendency In this direction.
Before tho valifb of pasteurization
as a hygienic measure was ns well
recognized ns It Is today, It was prac
ticed In secret by a number o'f milk
dealers ns u means of preserving milk
and preventing It from souring. Its
commercial value In this respect is
undoubtedly great, but its chief func
tion Is tho destruction of disease-producing
organisms. Proper pasteuriza
tion should destroy about 1)9 per cent
of nil tho bacteria In tho milk, al
though when tho bacterial count of tho
raw milk Is low tho reduction may bo
3omowhnt smaller. The cfllclcncy of
the process, it Is pointed out, cannot
dink Arranged for Pasteurization of
Milk.
bo bnsed on tho per cent, but rather
on the character of the bacteria de
stroyed. The kinds of bacteria that remain
alive after pasteurization depend on
tho temperature to which tho milk Is
heated and tho species of bacteria
which are in the raw milk. Threo
processes of pasteurization, known re
spectively ns tho flash process, the
holder process and pasteurization in
the bottle, are now practiced In this
country. In the flash process the milk
is raised quickly to u temperuture of
about 1G0 degrees F. or more, held
there for from 30 seconds to a minute,
and then cooled quickly. In tho holder
process the milk Is heated to a tern
peraturo of from 140 degrees to 150
degrees F. and held there for half an
hour. When pasteurization In bottles
Is practiced, tho raw milk Is put into
bottles with water-tight seal caps,
which are Immersed In hot water and
held for from 20 to 30 minutes nt u
temperature of 145 degrees F. In this
way the pusteurlzed milk is not sub
jected to any danger of reinfection.
On the other hand, the seal caps must
be absolutely tight and this Involves
Increased cost. In general, It may bo
said that tho holder process Is coming
Into greater favor than either of the
others. This process permits of the
use of lower temperatures which, for
various reasons, Is highly desirable.
RATE OF SEEDING FLAX CROP
Where Rainfall Is Not More Than
Twenty Inches Twenty Pounds
to Acre Is Recommended.
Where tho annual rainfall Is not
more than 20 Inches, flux need not be
sown nt a greater rata than 20 pounds
. to tho acre. This should be reduced
to 15 pouuds under drier conditions.
Where tho rainfall 1s more thnn 20
Inches, a slightly higher yield may bo
obtained If 25 pounds are sown to tho
. acre. The sowing of moro thun 25
,pounds to the acre on uonlrrlgnted
'. land does not pay.
SHALLOW PLOWING IN FAVOR
' Loose Soli Conserves Moisture Kills
! Weeds and Puts Land In Much
Better Condition.
! Water movas slowly through a loose
J soil aud a loose soli will, therefore,
servo as a mulch and conserve mols-
turc. This is ono of the reasons for
shallow cultivation. Killing weeds,
putting the land In better physlcul

trance for oxygen and nitrogen uro

properly Is one way of fanning nt a
loss.

USING WHEAT FOR HOG FEED
Information of Much Value Obtained
In Experimental Work Carried
On at Missouri College.
(By U A. WEAVEK. Missouri Aerlcul.
turnl Experiment Station.)
Tho Missouri agricultural oxperi
mcnt station has obtained information
of value to pork producers, especially
in sensous when tho corn crop is short,
by carrying on experimental work with
other crops grown on the f.trm. By
conducting feeding trials with wheat
It JiaS been shown that under some
conditions wheat may well be used for
hog feeding Instead of corn. Results
obtained show that when corn Is worth
70 cents or moro n bushel, wheat may
be trofitnbly substituted for corn, If
tho whent Is worth 00 cents or less.
Likewise If corn Is worth 80 cents per
bushel, wheat is worth $1.03 u bushel
as hog feed.
It has benn further shown that pork
may be produced moro chenply-by ad
ding n small amount of tankage to a
mixture of corn and wheat than by
feeding theso feeds without such a
supplement.
For example, the cost of producing
100 pounds of pork with corn and tank
ago was GO cents less thnn when
corn alone was used. This would
mean nn additional profit to tho pro
ducer of $100 or more on each carload
of hogs fed.
The results of theso tests are report
ed In full In Bulletin 180 entitled Feed
ing Wheat to Fattening Hogs, pub
lished by the Missouri agricultural ex
periment station. v
WHITEWASH ABOUT THE FARM
Recipe Given by Nebraska College of
Agriculture Great Help In De
stroying Insects.
For general use about tho farm
buildings to assist In destroying In
sects, tho following recipe for white
wash is offered by tho Nebraska Col
lego of Agriculture: Slake five quarts
of lime with hot water to about tho1
consistency of cream. To this add
one pint of zcuolcum or some other
coal-tar product, and ono quart of
kerosene. Dilute with about Its vol
ume of wnter; apply with n brush or
a pump. This solution when properly
applied accomplishes three things:
(1) Zenoleum nets ns a disinfectant
by killing dlscnse germs; (2) the
kerosene aids In destroying mites;
and (2) the lime whitens tho house.
METHOD FOR CLEARING LAND
Combination of Blasting and Stump
Pulling Is Favored at Univer
sity of Wisconsin.
' As a result of experiments with
stump pullers and dynumlte working
together on tho university's demon
stration tour, the University of Wis
consin has discovered that the best
method of clearing land is a combina
tion of blasting and stump pulling. Tho
stump puller people admitted that
time, labor and money could bo saved
by first looscnlng'the stumps by blast
ing before pulling them, nnd tho pow
der men admitted that a similar sav
ing could be effected by having a
stump puller complete the Job after
a comparatively light charge of pow
der had done Its preliminary, pre-,
paratory work on tho stump.
KEEP WHEEL FROM' RATTLING

OVERFEEDING ON GREEN FOOD
Proper Cure for Bloat Is Inclsjon With
Trocar to Permit Accumulated
Gas to Escape.
Ilovcn or bloat Is a drumllkc swell
ing of front hip, left side, tho result
of overfeeding on green foqd or wet
clover. The proper euro Is nn incision
with n cattle trocar, relieving the ac
cumulated gas. If the disease Is not
properly nnd promptly attended lo
your cow will die.
KEEP WATCH ON THE CHICKS

Few Minutes Time May 8ave
an Entire Brood.
If your chicks are still lu the small
brood coop, yon must watch them
when tho hens begin to leave, as thoy

each evening may mean mnny dollars

of your chicks.

INCREASING YIELD OF MILK
Two Quarts of Wheat Bran Morning
and Evening Will Bring About
Desired Results From Cows.
If Uic milk Is sold it will pay to glvo
each cow two quarts of wheat bran
morning nnd evening. Glvo n forkful
of hay or straw to each tho first thing
in tho morning, nnd after tho liny Is
eaten tho bran may bo given. This
method of feeding keeps tho cows In
good order, tho milk yield Is increased
and thcro Is less danger from bloat
from eating wet clover. Another ad
vantage from feeding bran comes

from tho fact thnt less grass will bo
needed by the cows, and tho droppings
from tho cows will enrich tho pnaturo
to a considerable extent. The mnnuro
should bo broken fine and spread over
tho sod and not left In a solid enko to
kill tho grass under It. Keep tho cows
In tho pasture day and night.
It may not pay to feed grain on
some farms, especially when tho grass
is abundant. Most milk farmers be
lieve It pays to feed n llttlo grain all
through tho summer months this Is
the custom in most dairy districts. If
grain cannot be fed, arrange to havo
plenty of fodder corn, millet or sugar
cane. Fodder corn has tho most food
value when tho Corn Is lu silk. Gut
nnd allow the fodder to wilt a few
hours before feeding. Placo an nrmful
of this fodder In each cow's stall for
tho night's feed, tho cows will bo ready
to come to the stable In milking timo
as soon as the pastufo gato Is opened.
Grnln or n forkful of green feed In tho
cows stall will keep them quiet during
tho time of milking and a larger yield
of milk may bo had when this Is pro
vided. PICKED UP AROUND DAIRY
Small-Top Milk Pail Is Necessary
Dirty Milk Is Dangerous Alvays
Feed Full Ration.
'Tho small-top milk pall Is a neces
sity in tho production of clean milk.
Dirty milk Is more dangerous thnn
dirty water because disease germs that
would starve In wnter will multiply
rapidly in milk.

About one-half of tho nutrients in
tho average ration go to sustain tho

Always feed a full ration.
CALF REQUIRES MUCH CARE
Future Success of Dairyman Depends
Largely on Attention Given to
Young Animals.
Tho well-bred cnlf is mndo or un
made tho first 12 months of Its life.
Good dairymen nro poor calf raisers,
and. this has resulted in tho stunted
calf wo sco on tho nverago farm. Calves
are well cared for In Holland nnd Den
mark, which fact has had much to do
with the development of tho Industry
in tlioso countries. Tho future success
of tho dairyman depends so largely
ifpon tho enro of his culves that too
much emphasis cannot bo pluced upon
this subject.
REMOVE CALjF FROM MOTHER
Strong, Vigorous Youngster Can Very
8afcly Be Taken Away After
One Good Filling Up.
Tho time of tnklng a calf from Its
mother should bo governed by tho
condition of tho oalf. A strong, vig
orous cnlf can very safely ho removed
after onb good filling up; but It is a
distinct mistake to take a weakly,
poor-nourished calf from Its dam be
fore threo days or a week.
