I Miss Nellie Holmes, treasured of the Young Woman’s Temper ance Association of Buffalo, N.Y., strongly advises all suffering women to rely, as she (fid, up on Lydia E Pinkham’s Vege table Compound. “ Dear Mrs. Pikkham :— Your med icine is indeed an ideal woman’s medi cine, and by far the best I know to restore lost health and strength. I suffered misery for several years, being troubled with menorrhagia. My back ached, I had bearing-down pains and frequent headaches. I would often wake from restful sleep, and in such pain that I suffered for hours before I could go to sleep again. I dreaded the long nights as much as the weary days. 1 consulted two different physicians, hoping to get relief but, finding that their medicine did not seem to cure me. I tried yQur Vegetable Compound .SB the recommendation pf a friend from the East who was visiting me. am glad tli&t I followed her ad vice, for every ache apd pain is gone, and not only this, but my general health is much improved. I have a fine appetite and have gained in flesh. My earnest advice to suffering women is to put aside all other medicines and to take Lydia E. Pinkbam’s Vege table Compound.” — Miss Nelli* Holmes, 540 No. Division St., Buffalo, N.

From the Binghampton Republican: What is known as the "war organ” ir Plymouth church, Brooklyn, which wai set up under the pastorate of Henn Ward Beecher, forty years ago, is t< t>e removed to make room for a nev organ. An organ which is forty yeari old is a somewhat venerable institution and the Plymouth organ is not an ex ception. It made music many years foi Mr. Beecher’s services, and was llstenet to by Abraham Lincoln, Secretary Btanton, Gov. Sprague of Rhode Island Gov. Buckingham of Massachusets Charles Dickens, Horace Greeley, Hen vy J. Raymond, Wendell Phillips, Wil llam Lloyd Garrison, Fred Douglas am thousands of other men almost as wel known, who had been led to drop li and listen to Mr. Beecher’s sermom when they had occasion to spend Sun day in the metropolis. In consequence of the memories which cluster around the forty yeari of services of the Venerable organ, norm of the members would Just as soor part with the church as to part wit! the organ.

Proved Beyond a Doubt. Middlesex, N. Y., July 25.—(Special., —That Rheumatism can be cured has been proved beyond a doubt by Mrs. Betsey A. Clawson, well known here. That Mrs. Clawson had Rheumatism and had it bad, all her acquaintances know. They also know she Is now cured. Dodd’s Kidney Bills did it. Mrs. Clawson tells the story of her cure as follows: “I was an invalid for most five years caused by Inflammatory Rheumatism, helpless two-thirds of the time. The first year X could not do as much as a baby could do; then I rallied a little bit and then a relapse. Then a year ago the gout set in my hands and feet. I suffered untold agony and in August. 1903, when my husband died I could not ride to the grave. “I only took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and is two weeks I could wait on myself and saw my own wood. I dug my own potatoes and gathered my own garden last fall. Dodd’s Kld nev pills curedme.” * Rheumatism lS caused by uric acid in the yood. Dodd’s Kidney Pills put the Kidneys in shape to take all the uric acid ont of the blood. MOUNTAINEER FIDDLERS. Sets Instrument Against Chest and Wields Bow With Jiggling Movement. Harper’s Magazine: There Is hidden among the mountains of Kentucky, Tennessee and the Carollnas a people of whose Inner nature and Its musical expression almost nothing has been said. The music of the southern moun taineer Is not peculiar but like him self, peculiarly American. Nearly all the mountaineers are sing ers. Their untrained voices are of good timbre, the women’s being sweet and high and tremulous, and their sense of pitch and tone and harmony re markably true. The fiddler or the banjo player Is well treated and be loved- among them, like the nflnstrel of feudal days. The mountain fiddler rarely cuddles his Instrument under his chin. aHe sets It against the middle of his chest, and, - grasping his bow near the middle, I wields It with a Jiggling movement quite unlike the long sweep of the ac complished violinist’s bow arm. It Is 1 [sometimes complained that their plqy :lng Is too rapid and jerky, but the ! tunes are composed fpr his tempo, and 1 no other would be found suitable. 1 Prominent among the elements of this 1 music Is that the leading American i characteristic, humor; not the spark - ling with of the French, nor the broad, clumsy jollification of the Tduton, nor sarcasm nor Irony, but the keen whole some, freakish American love of a laugh; and It pervades directly or In directly almost every line. The muslo, too, while usually minor, Is not of a , plaintive tendency; there are few laments, no sobbing and wailing. In this It differs radically from that of i the savage peoples. Neither has It any ’ martial threb or clang. It Is reflective, , meditative, with a vein of genial and < sunny philosophy; the tunes chuckle, not merrily, but in amused contempla tion.

A man who thought his race was run made a food find that brought him back to perfect health. “One year ago I was unable to per form any labor; In fact, I was told by my physicians tmt they could do noth ing further for me. I was fust sinking away, for an attack of grip hrd left my stomach so weak It could not digest any food sufficient to keep me alive. “There 1 was Just wasting away, growing thinner every day and weaker, really being snuffed out simply because I could not get any nourishment from food. “Then my sister got after me to try Grape-Nuts food which had done much good for her and she finally persuaded me, and although no other food had done me the least bit of good my stom |acb handled the Grape-Nuts from the first and this food supplied the nourish ment I had needed. In three months I was so strong I moved from Albany to San Francisco and now on my three meals of Grape-Nuts and cream every day I am strong and vigorous and do fifteen hours work. “I believe the sickest person in the world could do as I do, eat three meals of nothing but Grape-Nuts and cream and soon be on their feet again in the flush of best health like me. “Not only am I in perfect physical health again, but my brain is stronger and clearer than it ever was on the old diet. I hope you will write to the inames I send you about Grape-Nuts, for I want to see my friends wrell and ] strong. “Just think that a year ago I was dy ing, but to day, although I am over 55 years of age, most people take me to be less than 40, and I feel JuBt as young as I look.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek.

Where swine are to be kept In a some what small enclosure and fed In the house It Is not always easy to keep the floor of the house clean. The plan here sug gested will accomplish this and give the hogs something to keep them busy be sides. The hog house is built with a slanting floor and in the end at the high part is cut a trough the entire width of the house, Into which is thrown leaf mould or broken sod. This the swine will root down and it will act as an ab sorbent of the manure, particularly the liquid portions. If the floor is made quite slanting most of this sod, etc., will be rooted down to the lower end by the hogs. L1 *D While the artist has not shown the floor slatting as It should be In the illustration otherwise the cut will show Just bow the pen should be built. In the lower part of the Illustration figure A shows the end of the plank floor wltB a strong timber sup porting the edge and a heavy piece of plank underneath forming the edge sup port. Figure B, the end section, shows exact mode of. construction, the upper piece O floor and X the method of spiking together to support. This rather compli cated finish Is to prevent the hogs from ; rooting under the floor. “Little Peach” Disease. Experienced peach growers who have watched the disease known as "little peach" for a long time agree with the scientists that the only way to stamp out the trouble Is to pull out the tree. It has been thoroughly demonstrated that the disease Is contagious and that a single tree affected will soon spread the disease to an entire orchard and to adjacent orchards. The one difficulty In the way of permanently stamping out the disease Is the reluctance with which growers pull up the tree. As a rule they wait until the tree ceases to bear fruit of any value before pulling out the tree, when If they would do the work as soon as the disease was noticed there would be little danger to the trees. Peadh growers In every sec tion should combine to eradicate this dis ease by agreeing with each other to de stroy the trees as soon as the trouble was noticed. Early Plowing for Wheat. While all wheat growers recognise the necessity for late sowing of wheat to avoid as far as possible, the ravages of the Hessian fly, all do not see the neces sity for early preparation of the soli. It la generally believed that much of the loss from winter freeling might be avoided by the early plowing of the ground for winter wheat. Early preparation of the seed bed Is easier than late plowing, it gives one a chance to get rid of the weeds more effectively, the seed bed may have one or more extra harrowlngs and. alto gether, put In much better condition than when the plowing Is done late. Then, too, should the ground be not In the best con dition at seeding time the thorough prep aration previous will count for a great deal, enabling one to catch the ground for the final harrowing and rolling when ever it chances to be right for such work ing. r'he question of varieties should also receive more consideration than It does and an excellent way Is to look up the best wheat fields In your county on sim ilar soil and ascertain what varieties are grown. In addition to this every wheat grower, large or small, should have a test ground for new sorts. It will pay for Its cost In giving one accurate knowledge of sorts on their own grounds. band Vetch as a Cover Crop. Those who believe In the whiter cover crop and the summer cultivation for young orchards and who have not found rye and similar crops satisfactory should try sand or hairy vetch. The writer has used It for two winters with entire satis faction and Its hardiness mattes It especial ly valuable In cold sections. Our method was to sow the seed at the rate of one and one-half bushels an acre, after plow ing under a good coat of manure. The orchard had had the summer cultivation up to the last week In July when the seeding was done. In warm sections, south of the 42d degree sowing could be delayed until the middle of August. At the close of the growing season In the fall the veten had formed a thick carpet of green about three Inches tall, a perfect protection to the young roots of the tree. The first season we let It ripen during the summer, but thought this drew too heav ily on the soil, so now we plow under the crop of vetch In May and start In at once on the summer cultivation, sowing the vetch crop again In summer at the time indicated. In this way the crop Is grown for the benefit of the trees, which is as It should be. The sand vetch Is worth exper imenting with and, particularly for the young orchard going Into Its first winter. Poultry Raising for Women. Bach year sees many women added to the ranks of those who raise poultry for market and there Is little doubt but what the Industry ofTers many opportunities for women who have the necessary ground and the determination to gain their experience slowly. The writer re cently spent a week with a friend at a popular summer resort along the sea coast of New Jersey and profoundly wished he had his poultry with him. Chickens of the size for roasters sold for 36 cents a pound In the markets, while guaranteed fresh eggs were in demand beyond the supply at 40 cents a dozen. While theso prices are exceptional, there Is no douht but what there is a profitable demand for both eggs and polutry In nearly every sec* tion of the country. Women can bring to the work of poultry raising that care for the small details so necessary to suc cess In the work and a characteristic lacking In the majority of men. It Is a Well known flict and every honest farmer will admit It. that two hens set at the same time one by a man and the other by a woman will show a decided difference In the number of chicks hatched and It will always be in favor of the hen set and cared for by the woman. The man for gets to give the hen water or food or some other attention she needs during the pe riod of incubation. Women with a rural tossing should do soma doss studying of the poultry business this summer and make a start In the winter or next spring. Again, What About Manure? A reader of this department asks about compositing his manure this summer with weeds and much of a questionable char acter, The answer Is don't, and this re ply we consider a good one on the com positing subject In general where It Is In tended to use a considerable amount of manure. The more one goes Into the question of saving manure the more one Is convinced that the best place to save It Is on the field. We have tried all sorts of cellars, sheds and cement bottom places and while the shed with a bottom of cement Is preferable to any other place, we still Insist that the place for the ma nure Is on the land and that It should be 'laced there as soon after It Is made as nusstblc. Not placed In piles, but sprend ot evenly so that the soli will absorb It 'roperly. If there Is no other plnce to nit It why not give the grass lands the >t peflt of It? It will not be wasted there, me may be assured, and the next grass Top will prove the wisdom of carrying iut the suggestion. Don't have manure Piles; get It opto the soil where It will make money for you. Cottonseed Meal for Cowl. Dairymen And It difficult to carry the cows along properly during the droughty days of summer on pasture alone, und ull proper grains have been tried with vary ing results. One of the best summer grains Is cottonseed meal, for while feed ing it will not materially increase the milk flow, It will keep It nearly to the standard, and will keep up Its quality, which Is quite ns Important. The feeding of it always makes better butter at nil times, and particularly during the sum mer. While the quantity of feed varies ac cording to circumstances, from (wo to four pounds per cow dully Is about a fair ra tion, and will give results which will war rant the expense at any aeason. Shade far Swine on the Range. Shade for swine Is quite as necessary as for other animals, and when one has a tree or two In the pasture the question of shade Is readily settled. If there are no trees plant three or four, and while they are growing use portable houses for shade, making them with a sill set on runners and with a ring set In the front sill, so that a horse may be attached and the houses moved when necessary. These houses may be made of any cheap mate rial and the root arranged so that a portion of It may consist of three limbs laid over boards set far apart. The cost need not be great and the results will pay for the time and labor spent. Treating Heavee Properly. Directions for treating heaves have been given In this department before, but a number of recent inquiries calls for the Information at this time. In all cases of heaves It Is desirable to change the ration for a time, and all water given the horse should be given before he eats. All food should be wet with lime water, and If con siderable hay Is used this should be well moistened before being fed. Use care In keeping the stall and manger free from anything which will create dust and have the stable well ventilated at all times. As a medicine give the horse one-half ounce doses of k'owler's solution of ar senic night and morning. An ordinary case of heaves will submit to this treat ment, but In bad cases add to the treat ment advised ounce doses of glycerine, given three times dally In the mouth, us ing a syringe. If the combined-treatment does not complete the cure the case Is hopeless. hoard resting on the beveled top of the post the whole thing Is firm. Then have a hook formed with a short handle, such a hook as Is used by truckmen In the | cities. With the hook lift the sack of grain on the lower edge of the board, haul it up the smooth surface of the hoard and when at the end set on the sloping post It may he easily transferred to one's shoulders. In the Illustration figure 1 I shows how the wedge shape pieces must | he cut, figure 2 how the post should he beveled, figure 3 the Iron hook and figure 4 the slops of the hoard. Summer Strawberry Planting. Most fruit growers are familiar with the pot-grown strawberry plants offered by nurserymen forgetting in the summer, As a rule such plants are too expensive to set In any considerable number, but this is an ideal way to obtain plants of new sorts for testing; though much more costly than the layer plants one will get from them a crop, next summer, of suf ficient size to determine the desirability of the variety. Then, too, it is possible to increase one’s own plantation by taking from the old beds the new plants and set ting them out in the new beds any time this month. To do this with the jest re sults, cut the runner which connects the new plarft with the parent, then a wsok later, just after a rain, dig up the young plant with a liberal amount of soil at tached to the roots and set it with the soil on the roots in the new bed. With care not a plant will be lost In the trans planting, and these plants will give one a crop of berries next summer equal to those from year-old-set plants. The precaution to be taken is to have the lump of soil adhere to the roots so that the growth of the young plant will not be materially disturbed by the transplanting. Where but a few hundred plants are to be reset one can easily supply the water to the soli necessary to make the soil stick to the roots. Handling Bags of Grain Easily. In grain growing sections more or less grain in bags has to be handled by man power, and this becomes considerable of a burden after a time. A device for as sisting in this work may be easily con structed by any handy man. Set a heavy post in the ground so that it will stand about two and one-half feet above the surface. Then take a heavy board, the wider the better, and about ten feet long. Cut two pieces of board wedge shape and fasten to the low*-: edge of the board. Cut these piece* so !.hat when they rest on the ground with the other end of the ^ j > r POLITICS IN LAVENDER. Mr. Dooley Ha» Hie There Now.

The symptoms of summer catarrh are quits unlike In different cases, but tho most common ones are general lassi tude, played-out, tlred-ont, used-np, run-down feelings, combined with more or less heavy, stupid, listless, mental condition. Relish for food and the ability to digest food seems to be lost. Skin eruptions, sallow com- , plexion, biliousness, coated tongue, fitful. Irregular sleep. 1 help to complete the picture which Is so common at this season. Peruna so exactly meets all these conditions that the de mand is so great for this rem edy at this season of the year that it is nearly impossible to supply It. Pe-ru-na Contain No Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found permanent use In so many homes Is that It contains no nar cotlos of any kind. Peruna Is perfectly harmless.
