ilif A prominent clubwoman, Mrs. Dan-\J forth, of St. Joseph, Mich., tells how she was cured of falling of the womb and its accompanying pains and misery by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. u Dear Mrs. Pink ham: — Life looks dark indeed when a woman feels that her strength is fading away and she has no hopes of ever being restored. Such was my feeling a few months ago when I was advised that my poor health was caused by prolapsus or falling of the womb. The words sounded like a knell to me, I felt that my sun had set; but Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound came to me as an elixir of life; it restored the lost forces and built me up until my good health returned to me. For four months I took the medicine daily and each dose added health and strength. I am so thankful for the help I obtained through its use.” — Mrs. Florence Danfoeth, 1007 Miles Ave.# St Joseph, Mich. A medicine that has restored so many women to health and ean produce proof of the fact must bo regarded with respect. This is the record of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, which cannot be equalled by any other medicine the world has ever pro duced. Here is another case: — “Dear Mrs. Pinkiiam:— For years I was troubled with falling of the womb, irregular . and painful menstruation, leuconhcsa, bearing \ down pains, backache, headache, dizzy and & fainting spells, and stomach trouble. m “I doctored for about five years but did hh not seem to improve. I began the use of your Y medicine, and have taken seven bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, three of Blood Purifier, and also used the Sanative Wash and Liver Pills, and am now enjoying good health, and have gained in flesh. I thank you very much for what you have done for me, and heartily recom mend your medicine to all suffering r women.”—Miss Emua Sxyder, 218 East Center St., Marion, Ohio. “FREE MEDICAL, ADVICE TO WOMEN.” Women would save time and much sickness if they would write to 31 rs. Pinkliam for advice as coon as any distressing symp toms appear. It is free, and has put thousands of women on the right road to recovery. 3Irs. Pinkliam never violates the confidence thus entrusted to her, and although she publishes thousands of testimonials from women who have been benefited by her advice and medicine, never in all ber experience has she published such a letter without the full consent, and often by special request of the writer. MAA FORFEIT if we can: ot forthwith produce the original letters and signatures ol V HI I! Ill abort, testimonial*, which will prove their absolute genuineness. l^uUvU Lydia Jfch Liakliain Uvdicinu Co., Lyss, Mas*. Is our name for the patent Separating Grate and Check Plate in the famous RED RIVER SPECIAL THRESHER. It has the Big Cylinder, with lots of concave and open grate surface. It has the Man Behind the Gun, that does most of the separating right at the cylinder. Besides these, it has all the separat ing capacity of other machines. The average old-style small cylinder thresher wastes enough grain and time to pay your thresh bill. Why not save the grain ordinarily put into the straw stack? Why not save the time which the ordinary threshing outfit wastes for you? This can be done by employing the RED RIVER SPECIAL. It runs right along, saving your grain and saving time, regardless of con ditions. As the modem self-binder is ahead ol the old reaper of forty years ago, so is the Big Cylinder and* Man Behind th« Gun ahead of the small cylinder old style thresher. The old-style thresher with its small cylinder and limited separating capac ity, has stood for years without much improvement. The RED RIVER SPECIAL is the crowning improvement in threshing machinery. It is built for modern, up-to-date work; to thresh well; to thresh fast; to save time and grain and money for the thresherman and farmer. It does it. There are reasons why. Send for onr new book on threshing, it gives them and it is free. The RED RIVER SPECIAL is the only machine that has the Man Behind the Gun, and it will save enough extra grain and time to pay your thresh bill. NICHOLS & SHEPARD CO., Builders o?

Maple Street, Norwich, It Y., Feb. 17,1900. The distinction between the wily and the wicked is too fine for the wise. Why It Is the Sect is because made by m entirely different process. Defiance Starch is unlike any other, better and one-third more for M The Corn Crop. T. H. Mason, In an address to farmers’ Institute workers, said: Any of our ordinary soils will grow corn successfully, except very hard clays, that are deficient in humus. More over, it Is a gross feeder, and will make use of a liberal quantity of manure. Corn should be the clearing up crop of the rotation, but as it is very often handle.! it is the dirtiest crop. If the land is full of weed seeds, liberally manured, and cultiva tion stopped when the corn is a couple of feet high, we get a great quantity of weeds and a small crop of corn. Two system of cultivation are com monly practised in tb.3 corn belt One is to plow very late In the fall, ma nure in the winter ard spring, then gang plow or disc in May, making a shallow seed bed. There are two ad vantages gained by following this plan: (a) By the late plowing the cut worms are killed. Some years these insects are vecy destructive, especial lr cn sod. (b) The moisture accumu lated by the winter snow and raiD is conserved and held for the growth of the crop during the summer—a very important matter these dry sea sens. The other system practised is to avoid plowing in the fall. Bet the grass and clover get a good start and leave the plowing as late as possible, say, after the middle of May. Then put on full force and plow as quickly as possible about four and one-half inches deep and roll down; then thoroughly work, to get a good seed bed, and plant as soon as possible. This system is very often followed on very heavy soils, and the advan tages claimed are that the soil Is ren dered more pliable and mellow by the fermentation of the green stuff and roots turned under, and that it does not become heavy and sodden, as it sometimes does when plowed in the fall. I Planting in hills has several im portant advantages over the drills: (1) The crop of grain is a little larger. (2) There is better exposure to the sun, and a freer circulation of air, thus hastening maturity, and giv ing better quality. (3) There is a decided advantage in cutting where corn binder is used. (4) Last and greatest, a much more thorough cul tivation can be given, cleaning the land with the least expense and do ing away almost entirely with hand cultivation. Plant at from 3 feet 6 inches to 4 feet each way, according to variety. As soon as planted, if land is in suitable shape, harrow’ thoroughly, and give a stroke of the harrow every two or tnree days until corn is up, then start the weeder, and do not be horrified if it does cover up some corn and tear out a few plants. Ycu will never miss them at harvest time. Keep weeder going u :til corn i3 one and one-half feet high, then cultivate deeply at first, but very shallow* later, as long as you can possibly get through without too much damage. Do not cultivate more than two inches deep after corn is three feet high, or you will destroy the shallow feeding roots and injure the crop. When you have nothing else to do, cultivate corn. One'of our oldest and most successful corn-grow ers told me that he counted a boy and horse worth at least $2 per day in the corn field. Potato Fertilizer. Most of our farmers in the West are not in the habit of using any kind of ! fertilizer for their potato field except I such as Is made on the farm. Yet ' more and more commercial fertilizers are coming to be used. It is, there fore, advisable to consider a few points on the requirements of potatoes as to fertilizers. The potato crop runs all the way from nothing to 500 bush els per acre, though the latter figure is very unusual. It is assumed that a crop of 300 bushels is about as large a one as we can hope to raise per acre. A crop of that magnitude will remove from the soil about 55 pounds of nitrogen, 25 pounds of phosphoric acid and 85 pounds of potash. It is certain that the potato does best in a soil well supplied with all kinds of plant food. If we try to put back only the amount of plant food the potato Is likely to yield we will be unable to place all of it where the roots of the plants will get It;' for the reason that all of the ground may not be fed over by the plants and there is also much fertility locked up in the clods that exist on every clayey soil. Then, too. the weeds that get a good start of the crop, when they are allowed to do so, take up much of the available plant food and lock it up in their own leaves and stems. Of course it gets back in to the soil v/hen the weeds decay, but that is months after the fertility has been taken out of a condition where it may be reached by the roots of the potato plants. It is therefore nec essary to Itivo much more plant food within reach than can be figured upon to eater ir.ta the formation of the crop. Potatoes reed much nitrogen in the first part of the season when the vinc3 are making rapid growth. Unless wo have a large amount of foliage we can not hope to have good-sized tubers; for the material that is to form the tubers must be elaborated in tie leaves and stems of the plants them selves. Not only must there be much nitrogen in the soil, but it must be in a water soluble form. Plant3 do not eat, they drink, and they can drink in the nitrogen only when it is soluble. After the leaves and the stems have made their growth the demand is for phosphoric acid and potash. The farmer that docs nut know the an alysis of hie soils but feels that he needs to put on some commercial fer tilizer should select one that carries about 3 per cent of nitrogen, 5 per cent of phosphoric acid ddcI -1 per cent of potash. It has been found that the potato does best with an abundant supply of phosphoric arid even far in excess of the amount rcmo\ed by the crop. No animal used as huantu food should be bred la hlth. Censor Must Cse AM "Gags.” The British censor of plays has con siderably added to the gayety of the London theatrical season, now giving a final fillip by announcing that hence forth all “gags” must be tried, in writ ing, on himself, before using. “Gags” have generally been supposed to be the inspiration of the moment, delightful little diversions from the steady cur rent of the play, and therefore the more enjoyed, not only by the “gag gers,” but by the audience. There is reason to doubt whether a "gag,” after having been written down and tried in the crucible of the critic and cen sor, would be a “gag" at all. The Lon don Speaker, however thinks the mu sic hall wits have no cause to fear so long as the present censor continues in power. “The censor,” it says, “who licensed the ‘Girl from Maxim’s’ and suppressed ‘Monna Vanna,’ has abun dantly proved his readiness to tolerate any nastiness, provided only that it is also stupid.” Having a Pic-nic.

Mrs, Fin rv In Society. A woman in society is obliged to keep late hours. She must attend receptions and balls. She seldom allows herself a quiet evening at home. Her whole time is taken up in keeping engage ments or entertaining in her own home. Her system becomes completely run down as a consequence. She soon finds herself in a condition known as sys temic catarrh. This has also been called catarrhal nervousness. ' If every society woman could know the value of Peruna at such a time, if they could realize the invigorating, strengthening effect that Peruna would have, ho’v much misery could be avoided. Letters from society women all over the United States testify to the fact that Peruna is the tonic for a run down, depleted nervous system.
