I ^ 1 n Miss Nellie Holmes, treasurer oi the Young Woman’s Temper ance Association of Buffalo, N.Y., strongly advises all suffering women to rely, as she did, up on Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound. “ Dear Mrs. Pixuuam : — Your med icine is indeed an ideal woman’s medi cine. and by far the best 1 khow to restore lost health and strength. I suffered misery for several years, being1 troubled with menorrhagia. My back ached. I had bearing-down pains and frequent headaches. I would often wake from restful sleep, and in such paV*i that I suffered for hours before I could go to sleep again. I dreaded the long nights as much as the weary days. I consulted two different physicians, hoping to get relief but. finding that their medicine did not seem to cure me. I tried your Vegetable Compound the recommendation of a friend on from the East who was visiting me. “I am glad that I followed her ad vice, for every *che and 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. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound.” — Miss Nellie Holmes. 540 No. Division St.. Buffalo, ^ S5000forfeit if oriitinal of about letter pro* vi«S genuineness cannot be produced. FOLLOW TUB FLAC."

Stone Dust Brings Death. The mortality from lung disease among miners living in Cornwall, in cluding gold miners, is eight or ten times that of colliers and ironstone miners.

Probably no foreign subject con nected with dairying has received so much attention from the press of the United States during the last few years as has Siberian butter. It has entered so directly into competition with the butter of all other countries that sell dairy products in the. English market that we have been forced to recognize it as a great factor. Per haps the matter has received more attention than it deserves; but there has been a feeling that this matter of Siberian butter is to become a very great factor in the competitive butter markets of the world. In other coun tries the area for the production of butter for export is limited, and no one locality is feared very much. But with Siberia it is different. There is there an immense stretch of territory that is admirably adapted to the pro duction of dairy articles. Labor is cheap and transportation, being under the government, is also cheap. Butter seems to be about the only manufac tured product of an agricultural na ture that is being exported. Condi tions are such that it seemed that it would be possible for the Siberians to undersell every other nation and so capture the best butter markets of the world. This thought has evidently been in the minds of the Siberians themselves, judging from the way they have taken hold of the matter. In five years the number of dairy farms there has increased five fold. There is. however, this protection to the other butter-producing countries that the methods followed by the Si berians are yet crude, and much of the butter turned out is of poor quality. The war in the east has taken the at tention of the government, and there now seems no good reason to suppose that the government will do much to improve conditions in the Siberian but ter factories for some years to come. Should the Russian government take hold of the matter as vigorously as has the Canadian government taken bold of the dairy business in the Northwest Territories the quality of Siberian butter would be at once raised to a point that would make that country a dangerous competitor for every butter producing country in the world that sells its product in the English market. When Butter Is to Be Stored. When butter is* being made for packing it can be handled differently than when it is made for immediate consumption. The butter that is to be used a short time after being made may have a high flavor, and some peo ple like in it a taste of the buttermilk. It is a well-known fact that some of our butter that is the highest in flavor at time of making is a poor keeper on account of the amount of milk it still contains or of aromas that change into something else. This will be of interest to our readers on the farms wtio every year pack butter for winter use or sale. With such nutter the ad visable practice is to wash it so thor oughly that all the curd, that is, all the buttermilk, will be taken out of it. Thorough washing, to the point even of taking out most of the so-called flavor will put the butter in the best shape for keeping. This washing takes out of it the substances in the milk that act as food for bacteria and cause the spoiling of the butter. In the making of butter for ready sale one washing is frequently regarded as enough, but in the case of butter for packing it is best to wash the butter three times, which should take out of it about all the curd it contains. It must be remembered that when we speak of curd we mean simply the sub stance of the milk or buttermilk that is contained in it. Not too much salt should be added but enough so that the butter might be regarded as high ly salted. On the farm it is an easy matter to pasteurize the cream by heating it. This will destroy the germs and ferments that cause the transformations in the butter and in crease its keeping quality. The cream I should be permitted to become quite sour before churning, as this also favors its keeping quality. Rusty Cans. Cans rusty inside and out are too generally used in the conveying of milk. One does not realize how ex ! tensive this practice is till he reads of a Chicago milk inspector getting after the shippers of milk and smash ing the cass with an axe. If one will visit the different milk shipping sta tions he will be surprised at the num ber of such cans in use, or he would have been surprised if he had visited such stations before tne Chicago milk inspectors began to get in their good work. It is doubtful if these old cans are of any use at all, even for the hauling home of milk from the cream ery, when said milk is to be fed to calves and pigs. The rusting of cans is largely due to the manner in which they are made. The tinning is so im perfect that it is soon broken and the rust begins its work. Farmers would save much money If they had a regu lar organization for the purchase of cans, as they would thus be in posi tion to secure good cans. As it is at the present time, a man is not cer tain of getting a good can even if he pays a good price ior it. The large milk bottling companies can help out in this matter by buying cans and re selling to farmers, as they have ex ceptional facilities for buying cans of good quality. We believe that cheap ly made cans are really at the bottom of much of the trouble farmers are having in this regard. How Air Affects Cream. A French savant claims to have found out that air affects cream very detrimentally on account of the oxy gen in it. Perfectly pure air he would have us believe so affects the upper layers of cream that has stood for any, time that to get the best results in the matter of flavor these layers must be skimmed off and not used in the mak ing of butter. This is drawing the line very close, and wre are not sure that he is right. In fact our scientists have looked into these matters very care fully and are of the opinion that per fectly pure air does not afftct cream detrimentally. There is, however, room for further investigation. Soil Surveys. It is now developing that we should have a practical soil survey of every ktate in the union, for every state in the union is engaged in the production of cereals, fruits and vegetables, as well as of grasses. The surveys in most of the states have been of the ! geological order. It was necessary | that these surveys should be first I made, for they are very valuable in indicating the composition of soil, and the outlines of the various formations . are indicative of areas that will give j largely the same results when put under the plow. The practical sur vey is however what we want. This kind of a survey is being made in Illi nois, where, in addition to the geo logical survey, a test is being made of the ability of the soils to produce cer tain crops. The state of Illinois has appropriated a large sum of money for the carrying on of this work, but it is safe to say that the money is coming back to the state several times over. The examinations of the soil in the southern part of the state are bound to work a revolution in the farming of all that section. The dis covery of the acid condition of the soil and the ease by which it may ! be cured is worth many millions of dollars to Illinois farmers and to the men that will yet invest their money in those lands. It is also almost cer-' tain that as a result of this work there will be a steady shifting of the population toward the southern part of the state, where the winters are mild and the climate good. The same kind of a practical soil survey should exist in every state. It takes money to carry on a work of this kind; and if the other states do not take hold of the matter in earnest they will find their own interests being injured by (he growing importance of Illinois agriculture. The work that is being done in Illinois is not an index of what may be the condition in other states, and the state legislature that hopes to profit enough by the work in Illinois to make it unnecessary for it to appropriate money will find that it has failed to make a paying invest ment. — Patent Absurdities. If farmers would read more they perhaps would be caught by the sharpers less often than they are. It seems of little use however to warn i farmers against being caught by the various swindles that are being worked; for the reason that the far mers that are the dupes are the ones that do not read agricultural papers. We believe that very few of our read | ers are food for such sharks. Some time ago a farmer in Oklahoma was worked by a man that was selling pa tent rights for a preparation that he ! claimed would, if put on trees, kill all : the borers and that if buried in the i ground of an orchard would cause all | the gophers there to leave. He also told the farmer that the experiment station had offered $3,000 for a half in terest in the patent. The farmer wrote to the Oklahoma station asking if the thing was a fraud and received a reply that it was. The remarkable thing about such games is that they give enough revenue to keep the men that work them in good condition. This does not speak well for the acumen of the farmers that are swin dled. The truth should be patent to all that there is no ‘‘cure-all’' for any disease or insect. Gophers do not care what is buried in the ground an acre away and the borer does not care what preparation is put on the tree, so long as it is kept out of his hole. Saving Irrigation Water. The application of water to soil for irrigation purposes is a matter that is but poorly understood. The building ot great reservoirs and the digging of i expensive canals and the application to the work of the^cience of the prac tical civil engineer have been all ele ments of cost in the past. At the present time a good many other meth ods of applying water are being tried. One of these is sprinkling. This method saves the cost of irrigation ditches, but as a practical method has not yet been fully worked out. Perhaps the matter has not yet been handled on a large enough scale. However, there has certainly been a good deal of water wasted in the past, if recent investigations say anything. Last year in California trials were made irrigating in ditches one foot deep and irrigating by help of ditches three inches deep. To the surprise of the investigators it was found that in irrigating in ditches three inches deep at least one-third more water was re quired. As the three-inch ditches are quite generally used in some sections, it is evident that in such cases 25 per cent of the water has been thrown away. Molasses for Milk Production. Molasses for milk production Is per haps a new idea with most of our readers. In various parts of the tropi cal lands where molasses is very cheap, being a by-product of the sugar mills, it is being fed quite extensively, if we can speak of any dairy opera tion being extensive in a land where dairying is little practiced. In Eng land and some other European coun tries experiments are being made with it, as it is quite cheaply obtained in some localities near beet sugar fac tories. It is not fed clear, but is mixed with various absorbents, among which are sphagnum moss and ground corn stalks. It can be fed only to the extent of one and two pounds a day, but is said to be very palatable and to be greatly liked by the cows. Proba bly if dairying develops much in the South, especially in the cane growing regions, we will hear of the increased use of this by-product for the feeding of dairy cows, as it is now being quite extensively used in the feeding or horses. One of the commonest mistakes of the fruit grower is to neglect to culti vate his orchard.

Harris, Chief of Police, of Newberry, says: “I suffered for a number of years with kidney complaint. There was a dull aching across the small of my back that was worse at night and j made me feel miserable all the time. \ The kidney secretions were dark and full of sediment, and lack of control j compelled me to rise a number of times during the night. Between this annoyance and the backache it was impossible for me to get much sleep and my health w’as being undermined. I tried a number of remedies, but nothing helped me until I got Doan's Kidney Pills. The use of this remedy according to directions promptly brought about a change for the better. After using two boxes the backache all left me, the kidney secretions cleared up and the action of the kid* neys became normal.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kid- ' ney medicine which cured Chief Har- ! ris will be mailed to any part of the United States.

Ails that come from coffee are ' cumulative, that is, unless the coffee | is taken away new troubles are con tinually appearing and the old ones ^ get worse. ' “To begin with,” says a Kansan. "I ! was a slave to coffee just as thou sands of others to-day; thought 1 could not live without drinking strong coffee every morning for breakfast and I had sick headaches that kept me in bed several days every month. Could hardly keep my food on my stomach but would vomit as long as I could throw anything up and when 1 could get hot coffee to stay on my stomach I thought I was better. “Well, two years ago this spring I was that sick with rheumatism 1 i could not use my right arm to do any thing, had heart trouble, was nerv ous. My nerves were all unstrung and my finger nails and tips were blue as if I had a chill all the time and my face and hands yellow as a pumpkin. My doctor said it was heart disease and rheumatism and my neighbors said I had Bright’s disease and was going to die. “Well, I did not know what on earth was the matter and every morn ing would drag myself out of bed and go to breakfast, not to eat anything, but to force down some more coffee. Then in a little while I would be so nervous, my heart would beat like everything. ' “Finally one morning I told my hus band I believed coffee was the cause of this trouble and that I thought I would try Postum which I had seen advertised. He said ‘All right’ so we got Postum and although 1 did not like it at first I got right down to business and made it according to directions, then it was fine and the whoie family got to using it and 1 tell you it has worked wonders for me. Thanks to Postum in place of the poison, coffee, I now enjoy good health, have not been in bed with sick headache for two years although I had it for 30 years before I began Postum and my nerves are now strong and I have no trouble from my heart or from the rheumatism. “I consider Postum a necessary ar ticle of food on my table. My friends i who come here and taste my Postum i say it is delicious.” Name given by 1 Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Get the book, “The Road to Well ville" in each pkg. First Big Expositions.
