Lynn.Mass.: Dear Mrs Pinkhain: “ For five years I was troubled'with a tumor, which kept growing, causing me intense agony and 1 was unable to at tend to my house work,and life became a bur den to mo. I was confined fr>r days to my tied, lost my appetite, my courage and alJ hope. “I could not tear to think of an operation, and in my distress I tried every remedy which I thought would be of any use to ilie, and reading of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to sick women decided to give it a trial. 1 felt so discouraged that 1 had little horie of recovery, and when 1 tegan to feel tetter, after the second week, thought it only meant temporary relief: but to my great surprise I found that I kept gaining, w hile the tumor lessened in size “ The Compound continued to build up my general health and the tumor seemed to te ebsorted. until, in seven months, the tumor was entirely gone and I a well woman. 1 am bo thankful for my recovery that I ask you to publish ray letter in newspapers, so other women may know of the wonderful curative powers of Lydia E. Pmkhain's Vegetable Compound."’ When women are troubled with irreg ular or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrhoea. displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feel ing, inflammation of the ovaries, back ache, flati *ence, general debility, indi gestion and nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy.

I hope that readers of the Farmers’ Revjew who have poultry, especially hens that lay many eggs, will remem- i her that the grain cannot furnish the j lime necessary for the maL 3 of the I shells. Someone has said that one good thick egg shell contains more 1 lime than a bushel of grain. It is true j that the fowls get lime from some of 1 their other foods to a smali extern and ] possibly some of the gravel they eat I contains lime, but the modern hen | must have lime supplied her if she j is expected to lay eggs with shells cf j tair thickness. It surprising how much lime some hens will eat. I found an old aban doned cellar awhile ago, and from it I have been bringing the old plaster for the fowls and pounding it up. It is surprising to see the avidity with which they take hold of that kind of food. I believe that pounded lime rock wculd be good for them, as it would provide both the grit and the lime to a considerable extent. When I fail to give the he..s the lime they need I am soon reminded of my fault by finding soft shelled eggs in the nests and even out of doors.—Matilda Smith, Tippe canoe county, Inuiana, in Farmers’ Review. Interest in Strains. Just now there seems to be an increasing interest in the strains rather than in the breeds of poul try. There is great opportunity for the development of quality .n the strains of birds, and this is being rec ognised. Ten years ago if a man spent his time in developing quality in a strain he could not expect to have his ■work recognized in any way that woulu yield him a revenue. But now the man that will improve a strain and keep it pure will find his birds in de mand at a premium over other birds. Here tne question of honesty comes in, as strains are net so easily dif ferentiated in appearance " are breeds, and it would be possible for the breeder to palm t ji on customers other than the birds of the strain supposed to be sold to him. When to Sell Ducks. When to sell ducks that are being raised for market is a question that must be settled by every man who is trying to make mon ey out of ducks. It is supposed that ducks are ready for market at about ten weeks of age. and it is cer tain that if they are sold at that time they will yield a greater profit than if kept for some months lorger. During the r owing period ducas rre making gain rapidly and are doing it at lit tle cost. After the eighth c nintn week the gain is made less slowly, but the cost of feeding continues and even increases. Every week the birds are fed after that, decreases the possibili ty of profits. Some poultry raisers sav, "Sell the ducks as soon as they are well feathered.” Amateur Poultry-Raisers. One of the most inviting lines of business in the world is poul try-raising. There is no business that promises so great profits as this, at least in the world of agriculture. But on every hand we see the remains of poultry yards that have been started by people that knew nothing about the business and have made a lamentable failure. The point at which failure is most often made is the not calculating on the amount of labor required to take care or poultry, which is very much greater than of large stock. At five pounds each it will take 200 hens to weigh as much as a 1,000-pound steer or horse, and the care of 200 hens is far greater than the care of the one large animal. Danish Poultry Enterprise. Up to within 5 years 'he Danes looked upon poultry about as the Amer. ican farmer looks upon it. as being a small matter to wn.ch the farm owner could not look with any good hopes of large profit. Ihe eggs were genera!’ small, and in the home market, which was about the only market they had. commanded about half the price now paid for them. Previous to 1871 a few thousand dozen eggs were annually exported, but that (.-1 not draw the at tention of the producers generally. In the year iSTl, 50.00U dozen were ex ported, and that started a boom in tv producing of eggs. In 1S95 began the organization of the co-operative egg producing companies, and since that time the industry has aslvtie ^l>rrrTlliUll;i \\\ Cleanly, sanitary, durable, ar tistic, and safeguards health.
