&tch, Woman Qffanfam Is it possible there is a woman in this country who con tinues to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound a trial after all the evidence that is con tinually being published, which proves beyond contradic tion that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffer ing among women than any other one medicine in the world ?

A FOOD DRINK Which Brings Daily Enjoyment, A lady doctor ■writes: “Though busy hourly with my own affairs, I will not deny myself the pleasure of taking a few minutes to tell of the enjoyment obtained daily from my morning cup of Postum. It is a food beverage, not a stimulant like coffee. "I began to use Postum 8 years ago; not because 1 wanted to, but because coffee, which I dearly loved, made my nights long, weary periods to be dread ed and unfitting me for business dur ing the day. "On advice of a friend, I first tried Postum, making it carefully as sug gested on the package. As I had al ways used ‘cream and no sugar,’ I mixed my Postum so. It looked good, was clear and fragrant, and it was a pleasure to see the cream color It as my Kentucky friend always wanted her coffee to look, 'like a new saddle.’ “Then I tasted it critically; for I had tried many ‘substitutes’ for coffee. I was pleased, yes, satisfied with my Postum in taste and effect, and am yet, being a constant user of it all these years. “I continually assure my friends and acquaintances that they will like Pos tum in place of coffee, and receive benefit from its use. I have gained weight, can sleep and am not ner. ous.” Name given by Postum Co., ilaitlo Creek, Mich. Read “The Road to Well ville,” in pkgs.

HEAVY HORSE A MONEY-MAKER FOR FARMER | -■ — - _k Better and Heavier Horses for Work in the Field—They Are Good Money Makers. 9 fBy J. M. BELL.)_ Both for farm work and for sale, the heavy horse is a good money-maker. In past years the so-called “fast horse” was the ideal animal, but now the au tomobile has driven the running horse out of business. The carriage horse of today is a heavier animal than in days gone by. The farmer now who goes to work in the field, or Aho hauls loads on the road, cannot afford to spend his time with a light team that can draw only a small load. Labor is too scarce and too high priced. Deeper plowing, and more work must be done on the same acreage. It is imperative that heavier teams must be used. For a number of years the weight of best selling horses on the city mar kets has steadily Increased. Only a few years ago horses weighing from 1,200 to 1,400 pounds each were con sidered large enough for heavy team ing. Now the demand is for 1,600 pounds to a ton. No city company can afford to hire an expensive man to drive a light team. Increased supply and sale of commercial products has brought this condition. For these reasons the heavy horse has risen in value of late years, and the importing and breeding of heavy horses has been taken up on a large scale. But the demand for heavy horses has always exceeded the sup ply. Good heavy drafters weighing around l.SOO pounds find ready sale at over $300, and choice ones of this class in the largest cities bring from $400 to $300. There is every evidence that the heavy horse is the coming work animal for both farm and city, and that good prices will hold, if not increase, for years to come. The farmer who is in the field for making side money from his horses will be wise to breed for weight and finish. PROPER CARE FOR HORSES AND COLTS Oats Go Well With Timothy Hay —Straw and Corn Diet Is Liable to Cause Trouble. Oats are the best general food for a horse, and go well with timothy hay. Once or twice a week give a feed of corn and clover with bran mash. Give only what will be eaten up clean. Some horses are predisposed to colic, and a straw and corn diet is almost sure to cause trouble at fre quent intervals with such cases. Horses fed regularly often get in the habit of pawing in the stable. Feed them regularly, and if not driven or used every day turn the horses out into the yard for exercise. Many horses are ruined by being brought into the barn too hot and left to stand in a cold draft, or hitched to a post to stand, unblanketed, facing the wintry blasts. If you starve the colt the first win ter, he is liable to come out very thin in the spring and worth less than when weaned. Some farmers keep their horses on straw with just a little grain in win ter. Bran should make part of such a ration. It is believed by many that clover hay gives the horses heaves. This is a mistake. If a horse is fed the prop er quantity of clover and not over fed, there is no danger of the heaves. Do not give horses water immedi ately after eating. An hour after they have finished their meal is soon enough to water them. The colt’s training must begin short ly after birth. A halter should be put on so he can be caught and handled every day. Never tease him. WEED OUT USELESS RAMS AND WETHERS Keep Sheep Supplied With Salt Variety of Feed Is Best Keep Lambs Growing. Weed old rams and wethers out of the flock and send them to the mar ket. They are a nuisance with ewes and small lambs. Don’t let the sheep get half-starved for salt. If you do, when you salt them they will eat so much they will be sick. Give some every day. In everything be regular and moderate. Feed rations that will keep the bowels regular. Variety is what we need to aim at. There is little to eat in the pastures yet, so keep the sheep in. As soon as they get a taste of green grass they will not want dry hay, and are apt to fall ofT in flesh; that ycu do not want, for the lambs must be kept growing. When your lambs get enough good milk from their mothers they will grow. It is the hungry lambs that stand around bleating and with backs humped. It looks bad. Lively Iambs are the ones that will bring you the money a little later. Make a Cold Frame. Every farm woman should have her own cold frame. If she is at all handy with the saw. hammer and nails she can construct one herself, if neces sary. The only expense about it. then, is the glass sash. Any sort of glazed sash may be used, and the cold frame made to conform to its dimensions. Culture of Blackberry. Farmers’ Bulletin 643, United States department of agriculture, contains a very interesting discussion of the cul ture of the blackberry. Missouri stands at the head of the blackberry states with 6,000 acres, New Jersey, second, with 4,300, and Illinois, third, with 3,500 acres. Colony Plan for Poultry. Tl|p colony plan for housing poultry may be adopted to good advantage on many farms. This system does away vith the danger of tainted soiL FEEDING ENSILAGE AND DRY ROUGHAGE Success Depends Upon Produc ing Most Milk at Least Cost —Safe Rule to Follow. No fixed rule can be laid down to feeding that will apply to all cows alike; and yet success depends upon procuring the most milk at the least cost, from each cow in the herd. Cows must be fed to their full ca pacity, to obtain the best results, but there is as great necessity not to overfeed as there is not to underfeed. Care should be exercised not to feed too large an amount of grain to pro portion to roughage. A safe rule to follow is to feed twice as many pounds of roughage as of grain. If the cow will eat ten pounds of grain food and 20 pounds of roughage there will be little, if any, danger of her going off her feed. When feeding ensilage it is safe to estimate three pounds of ensilage to one pound of dry roughage. As a rule the kinds of roughage that have the greatest protein content will be found preferable to carbonaceous forage and fodder plants. WEANING THE PIGS IS NOT DIFFICULT Little Fellows Should Be Given Sufficient Food to Make Them Independent. If the pigs have been properly man aged for the first month after they begin to eat, and are taking feed in amounts sufficient to make them more or less independent of the sow’s milk, weaning will not be a difficult matter. The time to wean will depend on the way the pigs are eating. If they are not thoroughly accustomed to a grain and skim milk ration the time must be delayed. If the sow is not to be bred soon there is no harm done by letting the pigs run with her until the age of twelve weeks or longer. Breeders differ widely as to the age at which pigs are weaned. The ma jority wean at six to ten weeks; some wean earlier than this. A considerable number let the pigs run with the sow until her instinct tejls her that they are old enough to shift for themselves. If the sow is taken away and is still milking she may be returned to the pigs once a day for two or three days until dry ing off is complete. COMFORT OF HORSE IS OF IMPORTANCE Remove Harness at Noon While Animal Is Eating—Remove All Dust and Sweat. The work horses should be fed early in the morning and they should have a liberal feeding. The comfort and rest of the horses will be vastly pro moted if the harness is entirely re moved at noon while they are feeding. Rub them down carefully and cleanse from dust and sweat. Allow them plenty of time for a good meal and partial digestion before they are put to work for the after noon. It is poor policy to put them to work after eating a hearty meal. Color Denotes Condition. Look at the ram’s skin. It is a bright cherry color. If not, it should be. A bright cherry color is a good indication of perfect health. If it is blue, the ram is going out of condi tion. A white skin is ordinarily in fected with parasites. I Get a Good Stand. 1 The degree of success in securing a good stand lies almost wholly within the power of the farmer through the choice of ripe seed, and its proper curing and preparation. HOttftV. HKiDmr mrnm FIGURE COST OF BAD ROADS Hauling Produce More Expensive Here Than in European Countries —Total Haulage Expense. “American farmers have begun to figure the matter of roads a little dif ferently than in former years,” says President Claude S. Briggs of the Eriggs-Detroiter company of Detroit. “When the good-roads movement was in its infancy they used to ask them selves ‘How much will good roads cost me?’ Thanks to the intelligent propaganda of the daily and farm pa pers as well as other agencies farm ers are now asking themselves ‘How much are bad roads costing me?’ “According to government experts the cost of hauling a ton of farm prod uce a mile varies from seventeen cents in localities where fairly hard gravel roads exist to thirty-five cents a ton in parts of the country where the roads are in poor condition. On the other hand, in those European countries where hard roads prevail the cost is as low as nine cent3 a ton a mile. The department of agricul ture has estimated that the total haul Climbing the Continental Divide. age expense to American farmers for n year is approximately $500,000,000. And every dollar of this sum comes from the farmer’s pocket, for he is the one great producer who cannot add the haulage expense to his wares, for the prices he gets are on a de livered basis. “I believe that if every farmer w'ould take pencil and paper and figure the amount in tons of the produce and stock he markets in a year, multiply It by the number of miles he must haul it to market, multiply the total by 25, which is about the average haul ing cost a ton a mile, and then consider that he could save nearly half of this amount every year if he had concrete or other hard roads all the way to his market, he would become an earnest good-roads worker. “And this actual dollars and cents saving doesn’t take into consideration the many advantages of good roads in bringing neighbors closer together, in making it easier and pleasanter to get to church, school, entertainments, etc. “With wider interest in better roads must come a more efficient system of road building and maintenance. This is work for experienced and compe tent highway engineers, just as much as building a railroad is the work of highly-trained specialists. It is no plaything for politicians.” SLOW IN TAKING ADVANTAGE Certain Loss Due to Bad Roads Made Apparent When Sledding Is Good During Winter. The heavy snows and excellent sled ding serve to emphasize what might be accomplished if good roads pre vailed all over the country. Farmers can take their bobs and put on twice as heavy loads as is possible at other times. It is not argued, of course, that with roads as smooth as a dance hall floor the teams could pull on wheeled vehicles the loads they do now on bobs. But there is a certain loss due to bad roads that is made all the more apparent by the ease with which transportation is made when the sledding is good, says South Bend Tribune. And to think that for all these years nature has been show ing us the advantage of good roads and we have been so slow to take the hint! It should make us ashamed of our blindness and stupidity. Solve Social Ills. Elbert Hubbard says that “Good roads are the most needed thing in the world. Good roads and quick, safe and cheap transportation are going t" solve most of our social ills.” Many Benefits Derived. » Good roads will decrease ignorance, poverty, discouragement, immorality profanity, back taxes, sheriff’s sales and grouches. Gardening Time Coming. Gardening time will be here be fore you are ready for it, if you are not careful, regardless of the cold winds today! Brings Market Nearer. The good road brings the market nearer to you. Severely Pruned Fruits Die. Stone fruits, especially the plum, when severely pruned, as peaches fre quently are, are very apt to do poor ly, and often die. Avoid Indigestible Feeds. Indigestible feeds, such as bran-and cob meal, should be kept away from the hog trough. Essential to Success. Regular feeding is essential to suc cess, and three feeds a day are better than two. "LIFE, LIIIII HID MHMESS’ A Western Canada Farmer Writes as to Conditions. A. G. Hansen is a farmer living near Clavet, Sask., and as an old resident of Minnesota, takes strong exception to some of the articles appearing in American papers disparaging the true conditions in Western Canada. The ‘Cottonwood Current" of Cottonwood, Minn., an important weekly paper in the southwestern part of the state, re cently published a letter from Mr. ' Hansen, which is interesting reading. In his letter Mr. Hansen makes a splendid case for Western Canada against those who seek to deter farm ers in the States from settling in Can ada. He says: “The district in which we live is a fair comparison to any other district in the country, made up mostly of set tlers from the States. The majority here consists of Americans from Min nesota, Iowa and the Dakotas, with a few Canadians and an odd English man. We have been here eleven years, ever since this part of the country was settled, and the majority have done well. If they have not, it is certainly not the fault of the country. “There has not been a crop failure in this district since settled. This year was the poorest, caused by lack of rain, although a fair estimate of wheat is about twelve bushels per acre, average, and oats about ten. Some farmers got as much as twenty five bushels of wheat per acre, and we all got good prices. “The taws of Canada are nearly the same as those of Minnesota, and we enjoy the same privileges. “So far as the European war is con cerned, we suffer to a certain extent as all the world does. Canada is giv ing a helping hand to her Mother Country, and we American-Canadlans firmly believe it is Canada’s duty to do so. I have not heard one Ameri can-Canadian who has expressed a dif ferent opinion. Canada is not com pelled to send her soldiers. The serv ice rendered is all voluntary service. “The accusation that old settlers are considered undesirable citizens and are forced out of business, even in danger of being ‘mobbed at their own * In nil fnlnn n rvi foKrin'l. tion in the mind of badly informed correspondents. There are a few who have been discovered carrying letters, others papers and plans to prove them spies, and whose object is to conspire against the government. These have justly been arrested. Such a class of people cannot be considered good citi zens, whether living in Canada or in the United States. "Some people are failures wherever they are, and as an excuse for failure in their country it may seem easy to put the blame on the Canadian people and the Canadian government. Fact is, thousands of people from the United States are emigrating to Canada at the present time, which shows they are not afraid of the Canadian govern ment. "The government is giving away, free of charge, provision through the winter to farmers in certain districts affected by the drought, and is also sending seed grain to those in need of help. This is very different from driving settlers away from their own homes. “I have always observed that the people who love their Mother Country most are those who make the best citi zens of their adopted country The glorious Stars and Stripes' will al ways stand for what is good and noble to us, though we live in a neighbor country where we also enjoy life, lib erty and the pursuit of happiness.
