Durand, Wis.- "I nm tho mother of fourteen children and I owo my lifo to LydiaE. rinkham'3 Vegetable Com pound. When I was 45 and had the Chafigo of Life, a friond recom mended it and it gave mo Buch relief from my bad feel ings that I took several bottles. I am now well and ' healthy and recom mend your Compound to other ladles." Mrs. Maiiy Bidgway, Durand, Wis. A Massachusetts Woman "Writes: Bl&ckstone, Mass. "My troubles were from my Bge, and I felt awfully slckfor three years. I had hot flashes often and frequently suffered from pains. I took Lydla E. Pinkham's Yegotable Compound and now am well." Mrs. PlEIUtE Coubnoyer, Box 289, Blackfitone, Mass. Such warning symptoms as sense of ijuflocation.hot flashes,headaches,back aches.dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in tho cars, palpitation of tho heart, sparks before tho eyes, irregu larities, constipation, variable appetite. Weakness and dizziness, should be heeded by middle-aged women. Lydla E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound has carried many women safely through this crisis. Mollycoddle, "Did you see that?" yelled" the ex cited man In the Pnnnnm lint. "That robber of an umpire calls GUUgan out at third and ItnlTcrty never "como ' within a foot of touchiu' him." ''It looked that 'way to me, too," admitted the. man beside him. "SHU, I dare say the umpire could see the play better from where he was tlian wo could from up here." ' "Aw, go on homo I" retorted tho oth er savagely1. "You ain't got no bus!- ness goln to a ball game. You're one of these blamed' pacifists, that's what you are!" . The Difference.

Plants In Center Should Be Thinned and Rest Thoroughly Cultivated With Hoe Give Younjj Plants Chance to Start. (Uy E. P. SANDSTEK. Colorado Agricul tural College, Fort Collins, Colo.) As soon as the picking season Is over, tho strawberry bed should be mowed and raked off. The dead leaves nround the old crowns should also be removed and burned. Tho rows nro generally crowded with plants in tho center, and theao should be thinned out and tho rest thoroughly cultivated with tho hoe. Then tho beds should bo given n contlng of well rotted burn yard mnnuro and worked Into tho ground, and a liberal supply of water applied. In mnny cases where tho rows nro heavily matted and tho young plnnts have tnken root between tho rows, It Is ndvlsnblu to plow up tho center of tho rows, leaving tho young plants to form tho new row. Strawberry plants produce tho heav iest at the flrst season's fruiting and decline very rapidly after thnt time. fror this reason, it Js advisable to re move the old plants and give tho younger ones a chance to develop. Tho old plnnts can easily bo told from tho young plants by the roots. Old plnnts Jinvo dark-colored roots, while young plnnts hnvo light-colored. Also tho crowns of the old plnnts become black nnd elongated, while on tho young plnnts the crowns nre short nnd light colored. Good fruit growers will ordlnnrlly dot fruit tho beds more than two sea eons, It being cheaper and more profl- Wlda Hedgerow System. table to set out a new bed.

To ninko tho bordeaux mlxturo dis solve six pounds sulplmtb of copper In 25 gallons of wnter.. In nnother vessel slnko six pounds of fresh stono lime and dilute to 25 gallons. Strain the lime solution and mix tho two together when you nre ready' to spruy. Do not attempt to keep from one spraying" to nnother any of the unused mixture. CREAMERY GRADE ALL CREAM Better Prices Stimulate Farmer to Obtain Better Cattle-r-Better Grade of Butter. k (By U O. MNICLE.) -The American, farmer who sells oreum should Insist thnt tho creamery grade his cream. This will tend to cull out the poor quality of cream nnd makoposslblo a better grado of but ter. Give the creamery a good grade of cream and they cun make a good grnde of bhtter. Good butter sells foi a high price, therefore top prices can bo paid for tho cream.

Goats have long been looked on as Jokes In this country, though In some foreign countries they hnvo been ro lled on as sources of meat, milk nnd material for the manufacture of cloth. Of rcent years the henlth-'glVlng qual ities af goat's milk aro being recog nized, as well ns the pnlatlbillty of kid meat, and the silky-haired varieties nre being pastured, on waste lands to good advantage.

(Prom the Missouri College of Agricul ture Havo you bees? Why wasto a honey crop? Why let your neighbor's bees- get your crop? Buy bees by the pound, with a good Italian queen. Get a" few swurms of your own this summer. Buy neglected stands of bees and tnke care of them nnd give them a Drono Bee. chance. Tho bee Is a faltljul nnd de serving creature. Furnish n neighbor bee keeper with a .few good hives, with frames and comb foundation stnrters, hnd pay him for hiving n few swnrins In them for you. Buy good, strong colonics of bees In hives with straight combs. Thcso should be secured from someone ktlowu to bo reliable und experienced In bee keeping. Buy n few nuclei frpm a rellnblo bee-supply man. A nucleus is a part of a colony of bees secured by divid ing up n strong s colony Into two, three or four purts, putting each part in aseparate hlvo to build up into 11 full colony. TROUBLES OF MELON GROWER Frequent Loss Caused by Anthrac nose Attacking Plant Blights Foliage and Spots Fruit Melon growers frequently 'suffer loss from nnthrncnose, a disease which blights thoollngo and spots the fruit. Tho leaves aro covered with Irregular, dark, dead spots, and muy dlo before tho melons nre ripe. The trouble de velops on tho fruit in the form of wn ter soaked, and later suuken spots of vnrylng. size which have a pink con-' tor. The. fungus Which causes water melon nnthrncnose attacks cucumbers, cantnloups, and squashes, warmth and moisture or rainy weather nro especially favorable to tho spread and development of the disease. It can be Inrgely controlled or prevented by spraying thoroughly with fresh home mndu bordeaux mixture. Tho disease usually appears when tho fruit Is nearly grown. Watch carefully for tho leaf spot and spray as soon ns it appears. If the weather Is favorable for Its development, spray two weeks before tho melons begin to mature, and muko n second npplicn tlon a week later. TO PREVENT HORNS GROWING Clip Away Hale Surrounding Buttons on Calves and Then Make Use of Caustic Potash. - Horns on dairy cows aro n com mon source of annoyance to dehorned cuttle und oftentimes tho udders 'of cattle are seriously injured by horn Jabs. Unless the cow Is used for show ring purposes by all- menns removo tho horns. To keep n herd of horuless cows the best way Is to begin by dehorning tho calves. This can bo done' when tho calf is but four or five days old by using caustic potash. Simply clip away tho hair (surrounding tho small buttons nnd rub on the caustic potash until tho skin bleeds slightly or until u small blister is formed. If tho work is properly dono n dent can be felt In the skull in n few days and no horns will djevelop. FUNGOUS DISEASE OF BEANS Both Wax and Green Varieties aro Troubled With Anthracnose Spray With Bordeaux. Authracnoso is n fungous disease of both wax and green benns, appealing iirst as small purplish dlscolorntlons but later developing Into lurge, dark spots surrounded by a light brown ring. These spots often run together. A pink niusjs of spores forms In tho center of thcso spots. Tho fungus penetrates through the pod und into Iho seed, cnuslng it to become spotted. Tho most Important method of control Is by seed selection. If tho -disease appears early, tho plnnts can be spray ed with a 8-5-50 formula of bordeaux mixture. Crop rotations and the burn ing of the infected plants Is also very Important. LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR FARM Add to Convenience as Well as Attrac tiveness Encouragement for Small Isolated Plants. Oood lighting systems for house nnd barn add to tho attractiveness as well ns to tho convenience of farm life. Trouble Is usunlly due to Ignorance at negligence.
