FOR WOMAN'S HEALTH Earnest Letters from Women Be lieved of Pain by Mrs. Pinkham. “Dear Mbs. Pinkham:—Before I commenced to take your medicine I was in a terrible state, wishing myself dead a good many times. Every part of my body seemed to pain in some way. At time of menstruation my suffering was something terrible. I thought there was no cure for me, but after taking several bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound all iny bad feelings were gone. I am now well and enjoying good health. I shall always praise your medicine.”—Mrs. Amos Fesciiler, Box 220, Romeo, Mich. Female Troubles Overcome “ Dear Mbs. Pinkham I had female trouble, painful menses, and kidney complaint, also stomach trouble. About a year ago I happened to pick up a paper that, contained an advertisement of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound, and when I read how it had helped others, 1 thought it might help me, and decided to give it a trial. 1 did so, and as a result am now feeling perfectly well. 1 wish to thank you for the benefit your medicine has been to me.”—Mbs. Claba Stieber, Diller, Neb. No /lore Pain “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham :—Your Vege table Compound has been of much benefit to me. When my menses first appeared they were very irregular. They occurred too often and did not ■leave for a week or more. I always suffered at these times with terrible pains in my back and abdomen. Would be in bed for several days and would not be exactly rational at times. I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and menses became regular and pains left me entirely.”—Mbs. E. F.

Some Cp-to-Data Biota About Cul tivation of tho Boll Mod Yield* Thereof—Horticulture, Viticulture end Floriculture. Oregon Water Hemlock. This is a smooth perennial, with erect or straggling glaucous stems three to six feet high, compound (cares, which spring directly from th« ground, white flowers, blooming In July and August, and a fleshy root, which has a muskrat-llke odor, and which consists of two very distinct and characteristics parts. The mow conspicuous of these Is the vertical rootstock, which 1b from one to six Inches long by one or two thick, and Is curiously divided- into numerous chambers by horizontal partitions. This rootstock furnishes the bulk of the poison. The other portion of the root consists of solid, fleshy fibers, which run along on or Just under the surface of the soil, and send off nu merous rootlets from beneath. The rootstock rots or dwindles away al most entirely before the seeds ma Fla 17.—Oregon water hemlock (Cicuta vagant)r «, plant with laavee, one-elxth natural size; b. reotitock and horizontal roots; b', aootion of ■Votetook, half also; e, temrtnzl loateta, taa •btb natural tlzei d, flowering apray, Ml stM. ture, but fresh ones are formed from it for the next season’s growth. The ■plant grows in wet or marshy places, and ranges from British Columbia and Idaho southward to northeastern California, and perhaps to the south ern Sierra Nevada. ▲ piece of the winter rootstock the else of a walnut is fatal to a cow.

Though Kafir cbrn is a dry country plant, it yet requires a supply of mois ture to get it started. If it is planted late it may do well, for it may get rain enough .tp give it a start. But in most of our years, in the regions where it pays to grow Kafir, in the semi-arid West, the late seeding cannot be ex pected to' get sufficient moisture to give it the proper start. During the last season tests were made at the Oklahoma agricultural college as to the relative benefits of early and late planting. The dates of planting were April 4, 11, 19, 26, May 16, 23, 30, June 6, 13. Eaeh plat contained 5,592 square feet of land. The yields of the plant ings were as follows: April 4, 43.2 bushels per acre; April 11, 34.6; April 19. 34.3; April 26, 30.3; May 16, 28.8; May- 23, 22.8;- -May 23, 28.6; May 30, 24.0; June 6, 13.4; June 13, 2.8. It will be seen that the earliest planting gave by all odds the best result, and that the yields were poorer the later the plantings were made, with two ex ceptions. The June plantings were failures. The early planted grain got the moisture that was needed for fill ing and maturing, while the late sown grains had to battle with the heat and drouth of midsummer. Horticultural O xtmtloni. Reports from the northwest say that there Is to be a Cured Fruit Associa tion formed, patterned after the Cal ifornia Raisin Growers’ Association, which proved so successful last year. The new association will take in all the manufacturers of cured fruit In the Pacific northwest. The objectB will be to make a uniform pack, and ensure that the evaporated prunes and other like fruit be placed on all the markets in the most perfect form possible. The price will also be made uniform and reasonable. It remains to be seen If these men can make as great a success of it as did the Cali fornia association mentioned. • * • The spring Is here and vegetation Is awakening. With it will also awaken the insects that have hiber nated during the winter. In addition, the spores of apple scab fungus will begin their work with the Increase of warmth. This, therefore, is the time to buy spraying apparatus, if it has not been already purchased. The man whose trees have not been attack ed Is the man that wants to be first In securing the advantages of spray ing. The chief value of this operation lies in the prevention of attacks. After insects have fed extensively on the foliage of the trees all the spraying in the world will not cure the trouble. It can only prevent further injury. We earnestly urge every man that has large interests in orchards or small fruit plantations to secure a spraying outfit and use It Spraying has bean demonstrated to be of almost ines timable value to every man that wants to grow good fruit • • • The opening up of the Alaskan gold fields promises to create a new mar ket for fruit The fruit raisers on the Pacific coast are especially hopeful, believing that they will be In a posi tion to do most of the supplying. The building of railroads Into Alaska will mean the necessity for hiring large numbers of laborers. The opening of new mines will create numerous min ing towns and some of these will de velop Into good sized cities. Though Alaska bids fair to produce much of the food stuff it needs, yet It will cer tainly be a generation before tree fruits of any kind will be extensively produced, even on the Ulands off the southwestern coast. The people that go to this new region will be fruit eaters, because they will be mostly drawn from American cities, where the habit of fruit eatiug has been formed. We believe the Pacific coast fruit growers are right in expecting a new market for their tree fruits in the colder regions to the north of them. Car* of Form Implement>• The rise In the price of Implements will bring about one good result If It arouses farmers to the Importance of taking care of their purchases.- The lack of timber in many portions of the prairie states end the poverty of pto* neers compelled them at the start to do without some of the buildings con* sidered necessary on an eastern farm. A shack for the shelter of live stock was frequently all that could he af forded by the new settler, and hts Im plements suffered in consequence. Had the improvidence stopped there the results would not have been seri ous, for in a few years those pioneers had either accumulated enough to properly equip their farms with tools and buildings, or had been forced out of business through an ability to cope with conditions. Unfortunately, how ever, thriftless habits remained when all excuse for such practices had pass ed away, and today on many Illinois farms we see farm products going to waste and valuable Implements ex posed to the sun and Btorm to a degree that would have scandalized the care ful New England farmers of a century ago. What would be thought of a housekeeper who would place an ex pensive range in a leaky shed, or leave a sewing machine exposed to the weather, yet that is the kind of care taking that prevails among many farmers. How often we see the plow left in the furrow over night "so it will be handy” in the morning, or see the reaper, the hay rake or the thresh er standing unsheltered in the field. Wagons and carriages experience the Bame neglect and it does not take long for a collection of dirty, rickety ve hicles and rusty implements to thor oughly advertise the shiftlessness of their owner. If high prices would make such farmers provide shelter for their tools and then keep them in good order and repair, they would prove a bless ing in disguise to man/ an agricultur ist who now wonders why he doesn’t “get along better.” Turning OS Otd Ewes. When lambs come early in the sea son and are sold as milk lambs, the dams, if aged, should be sold also soon after the lambs. They will fetch a higher price if sold then when in con dition for Belling, than if Bold later. The better price is secured because of the fact that the market is not over stocked in the early months of sum mer aB it is in the late months of autumn, says the Farmer. But ewes cannot be turned off at such a time unless they are fat. To secure such a result special pains may be necessary In feeding such ewes while nursing their lambs. It may be necessary to use a considerable proportion of bar ley, rye or corn in the grain given to the dam while she is nursing her lamb. This will prevent that falling- off in flesh that 16 likely to occur during the nursing period unless some means is taken to prevent it. When the lamb is sold It may be necessary to feed a low diet for a few days until the milk flow ceases. The heavy grain ration should then be continued. If there is on hand at the same time a well-grow rape pasture, the said pasture will do the rest. If the rape is well grown it will fatten the dam with but little grain added. If the lambs are late, then the ewes will of necessity be sold in the fall. Here again the rape pas ture will make them ready for sale with but little outlay. Sheep owners should try and market stock of this class before the winter sets in. The British people are every year becoming more dependent on foreign dairy products. The cow population is Increasing to some extent, but not so rapidly as is the human population. In the period from 1871 to 1875 the average number of cows and heifers in the United Kingdom is put at 2,204, 000. The average number of the same stock in 1891 to 1896 was 2,562,000. But in the meantime the human pop ulation had increased from £6,000,000 to 33,000,000. In 1871 to 1875 there were 82 cows for every 1,000 of the population. In 1896 there were but 73 cows per 1,000 of the population. We have no figures more recent. It is barely possible that some day a great revival of dairy interests will take place in Great Britain similar to what took place in Denmark, but we see no signs of such a movement as yet.
