WHY WOMEN WRITE LETTERS To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi cine Co. Women who are well often ask “Aro the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham MeUicine Co. are continually publishing “Are they truthful?” >> hy do women write such letters ? ” In answer we say that never have we published a fictitious letter or name. Kever, knowingly, have we published en untruthful letter, or one without the full and written consent of the woman who wrote it. The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink ham Medicine Co. i3 that Lydia E. Pink ham s % egetable Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering. It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from dis placements. inflammation, ulceration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues.

There is loud chuckling in British naval circles over the latest story: “Somewhere In the North sea” a cer tain flotilla was ordered to proceed to sea for gunnery practice. During the practice a heavy fog came on, and the ship whose turn it was to fire did not sight the target until within 300 yards’ range. She Immediately opened fire, and blew the target clean out of the water. The senior officer of the flo tilla, who is noted for his caustic tongue, thereupon made the following signal to the vessel in question: “S.O. to captain of -: Why did yon not proceed closer and bite It?"

Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The gradual but steady decline in he carrying capacity of native pas ures presents a serious problem for tiie live-stock industry. The aver age carrying capacity of the 300,000, ■00 acres of public lands outside of 'he national forests, which are practi cally all used for grazing purposes, is today estimated at 115 per cent less ihan what it once was. The privately owned pastures show the same de cline. On the other hand, the carrying rapacity of much of the unfenced grazing lands within the national for ests has been increased in recent years by the adoption of what is known as deferred grazing. This system is explained in an arti cle in the new Yearbook of the de partment of agriculture. “Improve ment and Management of Native Pas tures in the West." This article gives as the causes of pasture deterioration overstocking and premature grazing. It has been the general belief that if stock came off the range in satisfac tory condition the range was not over stocked. In the majority of cases, however, this is not true. Animals which are allowed to graze the green feed of the choice forage plants near ly as fast as it grows may for the time being get enough to eat. but to rob the plants continuously of this forage robs them also of their labora tory for manufacturing plant food, and they are gradually starved out of ex istence. In the course of five years or so, the better forage plants are gradu ally reduced and their places taken by (ess desirable grasses and weeds. The condition of the stock, therefore, is not In itself a safe way to judge whether a range is overstocked or not. Premature grazing is injurious not only because the vegetation, when soft. Is badly damaged by trampling, but be cause the plants are not allowed to | mature their seed. In practice, some part of the range must be grazed early in the year. When deferred graz ing is adopted, however, a part of the range is set aside and the seed al lowed to mature before the plants are grazed. Deferred grazing was first practiced by the forest service of the United States department of agriculture in studies on the depleted ranges of an area in northwestern Oregon. An area with one-fourth the carrying capacity required for a band of sheep for an entire season was protected against grazing until the important plants on it had matured seed. After which it was heavily grazed. This caused the sheep to aid in planting the seed by trampling it into the ground. The fol lowing year the same area was again protected until after seed maturity and ' was then only moderately grazed. This gave the seedling plants from the first year's seed crop a chance to develop a good root system. By following this course on each quarter of the range in turn the entire area was reseeded naturally without depriving the stock l of the forage on any part of the range in any year. The results obtained under tills plan were compared with similar ranges grazed throughout the season each year and with fenced areas that were not grazed at all. It was found that deferred grazing resulted in a much greater reproduc tion from seed than either cf the other methods and that the production of good forage species was particularly great. With lands totally protected against grazing the seeds germinate on the surface of the ground, but. not being planted deeply, the root Systems of the resulting plants are unable to reach the moist lower soil and the plants die from drought later in the season. The principles of deferred grazing are being applied to national forest ranges as rapidly as possible, and the | results in practice b4-ar out those se cured experimentally. In the Year ! book article already mentioned, a pas ture of OOP acres is taken for the pur pose of Illustrating the practical ap plication of deferred grazing. This is divided by cross fences into three com partments of approximately 200 acres each, arranged so as to give ttie best distribution of water and shade. Be ginning in 1916. Xo. 1 should bo grazed ltrst; Xo. 2 second; and Xo. 3 not un til the important forage crops have set seed. It may then be grazed heavily. In 1917 area Xo. 2 should be grazed first, area Xo. 1 second, and area Xo. 3 again protected until after seed ma turity. and then grazed moderately. The following table shows the manage ment of the three areas for a period of seven years: Area Area Area Year. No. 1. No. 2. Xo. 3 ISIS. First Second Third 1917. Second First Third 191S. First Third Second 19’9. Second Third First 1920 . Third Second First 1921 . Third First Second 1922 . Second First. Third By following this plan the various portions of the range will have not only an equal chance to reseed, but equal protection against grazing dur ing the forepart of the growing sea son. Should one part of the pasture be in greater need of building up than another, it may be advisable to vary the plan to secure it maximum crop over the whole area us soon as practicable. A knowledge of the in dividual case is necessary in order to decide wlint variation should be made, but if the principles involved are clear, this should not be a difficult matter. FARMER ARGUES FOR CALVES IN AUTUMN Every Condition Is Better for Dai ryman Then—Young Animals Get Better Start. Here are some arguments that a thoughtful farmer puts up for having the cows freshen in the fall instead of spring: “The fall calf usually gets a better start in the world than the one that arrives in the spring. The farmer will have more time to take care of the calves in winter than summer; the fall pastures are coming on, fur nishing the cow an abundance cf good green stuff that produces a large milk flow. The fall pastures are more nour ishing than the spring grasses, owing to the fact that they do not contain so much water. There are no flies or heat to bother either the cow or calf, and if dropped early enough the calf will get a good start and learn to eat well before cold weather sets in. “Milk products are much easier taken care of in winter than summer and milk and butter prices are at their best at this time.” EASY TO GROW RASPBERRIES Bush Will Continue in Bearing for Five or Ten Years—Entirely Unlike Strawberry. A raspberry bush will continue in bearing for five or ten years accord ing to the attention given, whereas a j strawberry patch is not expected to j bear more than one or two seasons be fore it is plowed under and a new plantation set out. There are many people who claim they are so busy they cannot grow strawberries, but this argument will not apply to the rasp berry, which everyone has seen flour ishing in the fence corners of the field, growing wild without any attention whatever. Crude Oil Good for Hog Lice. Crude oil is a good remedy for hog lice. It may be applied with a sprinkler, when the hogs are confined in-a small inclosure, or with a spray pump. It is also a good idea to pour some of it on top of the pools in which they wallow. Makes Tractor Cost More. The recent advance in the price of gasoline--whether necessary or mere ly speculative—is a factor that farm ers are discussing at every crossroads schoolhouse. YOUNG LAMBS LIKE THEIR GRAIN FEED Creeps Will Aid Materially in Rapid Growth—Satisfactory Ration Is Given. If creeps are provided where the lambs can be fed grain away from their mothers it will aid materially In their rapid growth. It is surpris ing how early they will learn to like grain. By the time they are two weeks old they will always be around at feeding time. A place 12 by 15 feet will be room enough for 3G to 45 lambs. In this is placed a trough 14 to 1G inches wide and 2 to 3 inches deep in which they are fed twice a day. It is worth while to be punctual in the feeding. No stale grain should be left in these troughs. Clean them out. A satisfactory ration will be found to be one made of two parts cornmeal, one part bran and one part oilnleal. Lambs like oats, too. Some sheepmen prefer to fit up the en trances to the creeps with two rollers held in place by springs. This is a good way to take care of lambs of dif ferent sizes and the rollers prevent tearing the wool. LIBERAL WITH LITTLE PIGS Profitable to Feed Young Animals as Much as Possible—Give Sow Milk-Producing Feed. It pays to feed the young pig as much ns possible, both through the mother and later directly from the trough. Never again will he make such rapid and cheap gains and it pays to keep him growing as rapidly as pos sible while young. To this end the sow should be given all the good, milk producing feed she will eat. When the pigs are about a month old they will begin to need something in addition to the mother's milk, even though she is well fed. When Fruits Are Best.

Piggie dear,” said Mr. Giant. “{Sat healthy and handsome don’t mean quite the same thing.” “Oh. well,” said Master Pink Pig, “what's the difference?

None of my family are. Why just think, we're called Pigs and often they call very greedy people Pigs too. Pm sure that’s no compliment to us. hut do we mind it?—not at all.

How very funny you should have mentioned the very animal I envied.” “Ah—" said Mr. Giant, “1 know many secrets. But continue with your story.” “You see the Deer was everything that I was not. He was beautiful— lie had brown eyes while mine were a watery pink—he had soft skin and mine never gets much admiration— and he ran so quickly and gracefully. I always wanted to be graceful and somehow I never could learn how to move in the lovely ways that the Deer did. Oh. there was one Deer, espe cially, that used to fill my poor pig heart with great envy. “And above all. Instead of living in a Pig pen, he lived In the woods and ran about the meadows. He was very shy and didn’t like many people— whereas anyone at all would talk to me. 1 got so I didn’t like it. I thought it would have been so fine to have been shy. “But one day, I wandered about in to the woods, near where the Deer I thought so much of lived. And there to my horror, what do you think I saw?” "What?” asked the Giant in great surprise, for Master Pink Pig’s story was not turning out at all ns he had thought it would. “Oh. I saw a dreadful sight,” and Master Pink Pig’s pink eyes began to water some more. "Well, tell me," said the Giant. “I can never hear to bo kept waiting for the end of a story.” “There, on the moss, in the woods,” said the Pig. “where the lovely- Deer had been playing and running about only the day before.

But I never wanted to be anything else hut a Pig again when I hnd heard the way they had talked about how delicious deei meat could be. “Ar~! wasn’t I thankful they had turned irv their noses at me! At least, I thought to myself—If I should be a beautiful Deer my life would never be safe—and as for being a Pig—well. I can have some time yet of health and mud and a good old lazy time, before I am eaten. So, Pm glad I’m a Pig. See?” “I see. I see,” said the old Giant. ”Yes, sometimes it's just as well not to he anything extra fine!” There Is Vast Difference. It is surprising how many people do not know tile difference between ob stinacy and firmness.
