NOISES INKER HEAD
Mrs. Reagan was ■ Nervous Wreck,
But Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
Brought Sound Health.
“ Before I began to take Dr. William*
Pink Pills,” said Mrs. Mary Reagan,
of No. 86 Rilbnrn street, Fall River.
Mass., recently, “ I was in and out of
bed all the time, but now I stay up all
day and do all my own work.
“ I was badly rnn down from over
work. One day noises began in my head
and almost made me crazy. My head
felt as if a tight band had been put
around it, and the pressure and the
sounds made me so uuessy that I often
had to walk the floor all night.
“ My stomach was in bad shape, and I
had smothering sensations. At such
times my body seemed bloodless, my
hands were like chalk and my face
turned yellow. The doctor said I had
dyspepsia in the worst form. Then my
nerves gave way and I was completely
prostrated. I frequently suffered from
smothering sensations.
“The first box of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills that I nsed quieted my nerves
so that I could get a good night’s
sleep which was a new experience for
me. Before I began to use them I was
a nervous wreck and trembled at the
slightest sound. I was so weak that I
had to sit down and rest every few steps
when I went up stairs. Nosv I can run
tip a whole flight at once. The smother
ing sensations have gone and the noises
in my bead have stopped entirely. My
appearance has greatly improved, for
friends who were alarmed on my ac
count before, now say: ‘How w.ell you
are looking !’ My husband spent over a
hundred dollars on treatment for me that
was worthless, but. a few boxes of Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills brought me souud
health.”

_.r. Cleveland’s Income.
From Harper's Weekly. ,
Mr. Cleveland’s income from his In
vestments is between $8,000 and $10,000,
to which he adds an uverage of about
$3,000 by writing occasional essays for
publication.
Some years ago Mr. Cleveland had
$3,000 to spare, and Mr. Benedict ob
tained for him the right to subscribe
for the stock of a projected trust com
pany. The knowledge that the former
president was to become one of their
shareholders inspired the promoters
with a brilliant idea. After consulta
tion they sought Mr. Benedict, and
through him offered Mr. Cleveland the,
presidency of the company at a salary
of $50,000 a year. It was a legitimate
undertaking, backed by reputable men,
but Mr. Cleveland somewhat reluctant
ly declined on the ground that he was
unacquainted with the details of the
business, and that the condition of his
health would not permit of the severe
application requisite to effective service.
Again he was urged to accept, with the
assurance that his duties would be
nominal, his mere official connection
with the company being considered
sufficient recompense for his remuner
ation.
Mr. Cleveland replied simply that
that would seem to him too much like
selling the use of his name, which, of
course, he could not do. That closed
the incident.

A MILKING APRON.
Along the lino of having the stable, the
cans and everything else that comes In
contact In any way with mlllc. Is cleanli
ness In the dress of the milker. The av
erage man on the farm does all sorts of
work hence his clothing Is generally full
of odors which, as they would be absorbed
by the milk, makes It desirable that he
be dressed especially for the work while
milking. A new idea for a milking apron
Is here given with exact dimensions for
the man of average build. This apron Is
E2 Inches down the center of the front,
one-half of top in front seven inches,
one-half hip measure 25 Inches, length of
extension at back 13 Inches, suspender 30
Inches. Leg at lower edge 14 Inches wide.
To make the apron cut it from blue denim
or heavy unbleached muslin, with center
of front on fold of goods and piece out the
extra width on sides. Slit the center of
front to within 12 Inches of the waistline
being careful not to get this silt too high
or It will not protect the front of the trous
ers. Bind the edges neatly all around with
cotton braid or a bias strip of the goods.
Make two straps to hold the apron snugly
around the trousers leg making the straps
of ample size to slip over the foot and leg
or else arrange so that It can be buttoned
at one side. Button the back edges to
hold apron around hips and fasten sus
penders at front and back. For a large
man two full lengths of goods, each one
and one-half yards long by 36 Inches wide
will be required. In the Illustration the
side view shows exactly one-half of the
apron and from the Illustration any house
wife can cut*and make this apron.
ORCHARD COVER CROPS AND
MICE.
Several readers of this department have
protested against the cover crop for young
orchards, because, they claim, the heavy
growth in vegetation Is a hiding place for
mice who Injure the trees greatly. To a
certain extent this Is so but there are
ways of avoiding It with a little care. If
the orchard Is a small one the trees are
readily and Inexpensively protected by
wrapping a wire netting around each tree
placing the lower end several Inches In the
ground and letting It run up a foot or
more. The same effect can be accomplish
ed with tarred paper which would be less
expensive and more quickly applied. Then
there Is the third plan of keeping the
growth away from about the tree for a
distance of three feet all around It and
banking the soil up quite high. Any of
these plans are effective; they take time,
of course, but the cover ci;op will be of
sufficient value to the trees when plowed
under In the spring to warrant all the time
spent on the trees protecting them from
mice.
TESTING GRASS SEEDS.
More or less renovating of the meadow Is
done In the fall and hence we make It a
business of late years to test the grass
seed before It Is soyvn. We get a small
quantity of the mixture that Is to be used,
early, and with a magnifying glass take
a portion and examine It. If It contains
seeds with which we are not familiar but
which are evidently grass seeds and not
weeds, the lot Is tested for the per cent,
of grass seeds. If the magnifier shows too
large a percent of weed seeds no more Is
bought of the dealer but another man Is
tried. As a result we have Bavcd our
selves much trouble and annoyance with
noxious seeds. This same plan Is carried
out with all seeds, whether sown in the
spring or fall, solely for the germination
test. The weeds will be discovered If they
are there. Unfortunately much of the
grass seed of late years Is more or less
foul with weed seeds and the only way to
really ascertain what one has Is to fol
low out the plans suggested. It costs little
except time.
HELPS FOR LAYING HENS.
People are not wont to give the hen
credit for having much sense but there Is
nothing In the way of bird or animal on
the farm that will respond more quickly
to proper treatment or resent Improper
treatment than the laying pullet or hen.
In the first flush of egg production the
pullet Is likely to be content with reason
able care, food and shelter, but later In
the year she seems to realize that her eggs
are valuable and makes certain demands.
It Is not a good plan to make pets of the
laying hens, but It certainly pays to pay
considerable atentlcn to their wants. See
that the food Is furnished In variety, that
there Is more or less green stuff especially
in the fall after they have come from the
range, that there Is the sunny and sandy
spot In which the hens may feather'them
selves, that there Is grit for them to pick
at and that the nest boxes are clean and
well placed. All these things really come
under the heading of proper care, but
some people look upon most of them as
luxuries that It Is foolish to think of. Try
the plans suggested, keeping an accurate
account of their cost and you will find
ft Is profitable to continue the plan.
WORK AND PLAY FOR HORSES.
What the horses of the farm have to do
depends upon the nature of the work and
how well used they are to It, consequent
ly the horse should be treated accordingly.
If the horses have heavy spring plowing
to do with more or less road work In the
summer, then harvesting and more plow
ing In the fall and It Is intended to use
them for heavy draughtln^in the winter,
It will pay to divide the work In some way
so that they will have a little chance for
rest. The argument that rainy days and
Sundays are sufficient for the animals
does not hold good In all cases. In our ex
perience we find It pays to have reason
ably short hours for the horses and not
to give them driving every day there hap
pens to be a little lull In the work of’ the
farm. We feed strictly In accordance
with the work to be done and contrive In
■ome way so that every horse will have a
turn at the pasture even though It be only
an hour or two at night. It la not a good
plan to attempt to carry horeoa through
from year to year without tho pasture.
Green food cut and placed in the manger
Is not the same. The open air, the free
dom from the harness, the yielding of the
soft turf and the biting of tho grass are
essential to horses and It pays to let them
have a spell at ti.
WINTER SHEDS FOR STOCK.
Many dairymen have demonstrated the
value of the winter sheds for cows, some
of them going so far ns to keep the ani
mals In those sheds all the time not pro
viding any barn space for them, und claim
ing that It pays. While wo like the plan
of stabling the nnlmnls and shed feeding
them afterward there Is no doubt but what
the former plan Is a good one. If this
plan works well with cows It will work
equally well with sheep and with poultry
although with tho latter the scratching
shed answers the purpose. Wo have tho
same sort of a shed for tho sheep ns for
the cows except that It Is not so high a
structure. Along one side are the feed
ing racks and the rest of the space Is for
them to roam around In; the shed Is well
lighted and the windows are arranged so
that all the sunlight possible gets Into tho
shed. Wo find tho sheep enjoy this to
such an extent that they aro quite willing
to occupy this shed at night and often
times, unless It Is too cold, wo let them
stay there. With us this plan was worked
Into at a time when we could not afford
the regulation barns and all of the stock
was kept In these sheds and wo find that
ono thing confined animals appreclato
more than another Is freedom, room for
them to walk around In. They do better
In every way and more than repay for tho
extra time required to care for them.
THE BARN INTERIOR.
Readers of this department will remem.
ber the stories I have told of my Swede
hired man who Insists on grooming the
cows as carefully as the horses. At first
we thought this considerable of a Joke,
but It was soon discovered that the work
was profitable In the milk return so now
we take our turn at grooming. Some time
ago this Swede was set to whitewashing
the Inside of the poultry houses and after
this work was thoroughly done he wanted
the privilege of whitewashing tho cow
stables. It seemed to us sometimes as If
ho wanted to put whitewash on every
thing which In any way could be soiled
and we have allowed him so much liberty
in this respect that he whitewashes the
Interior of the hog pens, and certainly
thus adds to their beauty as well as to the
healthfulness of the swine. Some day
while the cows are on the pasture go over
the walls with a broom and sweep down
all dust and cobwebs and then thorough
ly whitewash the walls. You will be so
much pleased by their appearance that
you will find It easy to do It frequently
during the winter. There Is no reason
other than custom why the Interior of
barns should bo so dismal and lack so
many conveniences. Try some way of
Improving them; It takes but little time
and the stock will be all the better for
having pleasant quarters.
WATCH THE PULLET.
Depending as we must on the youn^
pullet for the winter supply of eggs it Is
only good business that we give the young
bird a little extra attention at least until
she gets well settled In the egg producing
business. Bear In mind that If she has
been properly brought up, on the range,
she appreciates the value of green food
and must have It if Bho Is to produce
eggs, therefore see that she gets all of the
green stuff from the garden one has to
feed and keep her on the range Just as
long as there Is anything for her to get.
Indoors look well to the nest boxes and to
the roosts. Have the latter placed low so
that there will be no need of high flying
to reach them. Above all look to the clean
liness of the house In every particular.
Many pullets have been late in starting to
lay because the lice were having their In
ning. The pullet is not able to give her
time to fighting lice and producing eggs
at the same time. Bearing In mind that
since birth the pullet has been familiar
with plenty of light ;>nd sun and see that
she has a sunny house. Not too large win
dows which will make trouble In the win
ter, but so placed that an abundance r£
sunlight will flood the house. Then don’t
forget that plenty of clean, fresu water
will help In the egg production.
TROUBLE WITH GROWING CHICKS
Many complaints are received from,
farmers about the half-grown chicks dy
ing apparently without good cause at this
time of year. It is hard to get a chick up
to a few months of a profitable period and
then lose It, but until all who raise poultry
learn to fully realize the Importance of
constantly fighting lice there Is likely to
be a continuance of trouble. It seems al
most safe to say that if one can keep lice
out of the poultry house and off of the
chicks and fowls there Is nothing easier
to raise profitably than poultry. The bat
tle against lice should be unceasing.
Sometimes the trouble with half-grown
chicks dying Is due to feeding com heavily
at this time of year. After the chicks
have passed the nursery stage-it is a good
plan to cut corn completely out of their
ration unttl cold weather sets In or, in
other words, until it is necessary to con
fine them to the house. Then com is nec
essary to keep up the animal warmth.
FEEDING IN THE BARN YARD.
During the fall before it is cold enough
to put the stock under cover feeding must
be largely done In the barnyard or in some
other enclosure. Unless some sort of a
rack Is used there Is a chance of losing
or rather wasting much of the fodder by,
Its being trampled under foot. An ideal
rack may be made of 2x4 material for the
posts. Make it about two feet high and.
If a number of them are used, about four
feet In length will be right. Have three
posts on a side with three rows of siding
using light boards six or eight Inches
wide. No bottom Is required find If made
the dimensions Indicated the rack will
stand firmly of Itself and the animals will '
not be likely to tip It over. Any roughage
may be fed In this way with scarcely any,
waste and the rack may be moved to any
point of the enclosure desired.
THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men—The Influence of a
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimated.
Seven-eighths of the i
tnen in this world marry
a woman because she is
beautiful in their eyes—
because she has the quali
ties which inspire admira
tion, respeet and love.
There is a beauty In
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence of women
glorious in the possession
of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very heights
of ambition: because of
them even thrones have
been established and de
stroyed.
What a disappointment,
then, to sec this fair young
wife’s beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her head ! A sickly, half
dead-and-alive woman,
especially when she is
the mother of a family,
is a damper to all joyous
ness in the home, and a
drag upon her husband.
The cost of a wife's con
stant illness is a serious
drain upon the funds of a
household, nnd too often all the doc
toring docs no good.
If a woman finds her energies are
flagging, and that everything tires her,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
her sleep is disturbed by horrible
dreams ; if she has backache, head
aches, bearing-down pains, nervous
ness. whites, irregularities, or despon
dency, she should take means to build
her system up at once by a tonic with
specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Comjtound.
This great remedy for women has
done more in the way of restoring
health to the women of America than
all other medicines put together. It is
the safeguard of woman’s health.
Following we publish, by request, a
letter from a young wife.
Mrs. Bessie Ainsley of 611 South 10th
Street, Tacoma, Wash., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkliam:—
“ Ever since my child was bom I have suf
fered. as 1 hope few women over have, with
inflammation, female weakness, bearing-down
pains, backache and wretched headaches. It
affected my stomuch so t hat I could not en
joy my meals, and half my time was spent
ln'bed.
"Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
made mo a well woman, and I feel so grate
ful that X am glad to write and tell you of
my marvelous recovery. It brought me
health, new life and vitality.”
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will
do for every woman who is in poor
health and ailing.
Its benefits begin when its use begins.
It gives strength and vigor from tha
start, and surely makes sick women
well and robust.
Remember Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound holds the record for
the greatest number of actual cures of
woman's ills. This fact is attested to
by the thousands of letters from grate
ful women which are on file in tho
Pinkham laboratory. Merit alone can
produce such results.
Women should remember that a cure
*or all female diseases actually exists,
and that cure is Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Take no substi
tute.
If you have symptoms you don't
understand write to Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass., for special advice—it is
free and always helpful.
