To a modest sensitive high
strung young woman especially
an unmarried woman there is
no more trying- or painful ordeal
than the examinations which
are now so common in hospitals
and private practice
An examination by speculum or
otherwise is sometimes a positive
necessity in certain stages of
many diseases peculiar to women
o at least it is declared by the pro
fession This would not be the case if
patients heeded their symptoms in time
The Screw
The small size of the screw says
a noted shipbuilder is not due as you
might think to the perception of any
inventor of its great effect as compared
to a larger one When I first engaged
in the machinery business screws for
steamers were made as large as possi
ble it being the theory that the greater
J the diameter the higher the speed A
vessel was sent to sea with a screw so
large that it was deemed best to cast
each blade in two parts and then weld
them together During a storm all
three blades of the propeller broke at
the welding reducing the diameter by
more than two thirds To the surprise
of the captain the vessel shot forward
at a speed such as had never been at
tained before Engineers then experi
mented with small propellers and at
once discovered that they were much
more effective than large ones
AN AMBITIOUS GIRL
From the New Era Greensburg Ind
This paper recently received informa
tion that the ten-year-old daughter of Mr
M RyboK of Hartsvilie Ind had been
cured of a severe illness The case seem
ed more then an ordinary ooe and
J quently a special representative was sent
iu investigate
The RyboJts are well-to-do farmers liv
ing abont two miles southwest of Harts
vilie When the reporter called Mr and
Mrs Rybolt and their daughter in ques
tion Louise were at home also the other
three children Louise is the oldest She
had been going to school for four years
and was formerly in very good health but
for the past year or more she has been ill
A year ago the present winter it was
noticed that she was breaking down in
health For a time the cause conld not
be ascertained but it was finally decided
that it was from over study It has al
ways been the ambition of Louise to edu
cate herself as soon as possible for sho
was anxious to graduate from the com
mon brandies early and to enter a college
of music which her parents promised she
could do as soon as she should finish the
common branches
How many children by diligent study
to achieve their ambitions are injuring
their health It was so in this case The
child studied hard all day and often far
into the night and had won the respect
and admiration of her teacher and of all
the school by her aptness and rapid
learning
For some time Louise experienced an
indisposition which she would not make
known to her parents for fear they would
have her remain from school Her head
ache soon became unendurable and was
noticed by her teacher She had by this
time grown pale and weak
One day she became suddenly sick at
school and was taken home
For several weeks shcteuffered from a
fever and the physicians could not rally
her A neighbor urged them to try Dr
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
which they finally did with splendid re
sults Louise began getting better at
once and by the time she had consumed
ten boxes of the pills she was cured
What you have written is true said
Mrs Rybolt I dont think Louise would
have recovered had it not been for Dr
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People She
is in perfect health to day and able to re
enter school
We are using these pills in our family
when we need medicine and find that
they do more good than doctors medi
cines and they are not nearly so expen
sive I would be glad to recommend
them to any one who is sick and can es
pecially recommend them in any case sim
ilar to Louises

Clung to the Old Style
There has recently died in the east
end of London an old gentleman a cen
tenarian who is locally reported to be
the last person in England to wear that
curious fashion of headdress common
in George IIIs time a pig tail With
his queer little queue of white hair neat
ily tied behind with a knot of blue rib
bon his corded knee breeches and low
buckle shoes a large flowered waist
coat down to his hips and plum colored
open coat that showed the big frilled
skirt and tight stock the old man was
quite a picturesque feature amid rather
squalid surroundings He had been
considered quite a dandy in his youth
and the new fashions were none of
them so smart as when he played the
lady killer about Boneys time
He was very vain of his tail and
often prided himself in his weak quav
ering voice of being the only gentle
man left that was dressed as a real
gentleman should be Pearsons

Dear Mrs Pinkham It affords me great pleasure to be able to say a few
trords in regard to the merits of your Vegetable Compound I was tempted
to try it after seeing the effects of it upon my mother and now I feel like a
new person I am a stenographer and was troubled with falling of the womb
and female weakness in general I continued to work until I was so weak I
could no longer walk and the last day I was forced to stop and rest
l I was then eo ill that I was compelled to stay in bed and so nervous
that I could not hold anything- in my hands The least noise or surprise
T would cause my heart to beat so loudly and I would become so weak that I
could hardly stand I suffered for almost a year It is different now I
can go about my work with pleasure while before work was a drudge
Trusting that my words of praise may help some other afflicted person
and be of benefit to womankind in general I remain Yours in gratitude

a hay rack out of his wheelbarrow

or three hundred pounds or so ot hay
Harrow strips of board are lightly tack

Supplementing Ensilage
There are all kinds of ensilage vary
ing of course with the material put
into the silo There is no magic in the
silo to add to the nutrition of what is
put into it though it may add to the
nutritive value by making it more di
gestible Much of the ensilage from
corn fodder is deficient in nitrogenous
forms of nutrition It needs to be sup
plemented not necessarily with richer
ensilage but preferably with dry food
Instead of trying to ensilage clover
which Is difficult because it heats so
rapidly it is better to cure it and feed
three to five pounds of good clover
hay to all animals whose main ration
is corn ensilage If clover cannot be
had use wheat bran or oats Both
linseed meal and cotton seed meal may
be given with good results to animals
fed on corn ensilage If possible some
straw or ha should be given with
these to increase their bulk and pre
vent them from compacting in the
stomach Corn is not a good supple
ment to corn ensilage as it also is so
largely carbonaceous But corn and
oats ground together and fed with cut
hay or stray make a very good supple
mentary feed

The cow cannot bite or throw her head
around if the handle is held firm If
the apple is too far down to remove by
hand take a rubber hose Fig 2 start
through the ring and push the apple
clear down into the stomach
Securing Early Lettuce
The outdoor crop of spring lettuce
may be made several days earlier by
sowing the seed in some sheltered place
late in fall It is not likely that if sown
now any of the lettuce will come up
this fall A few leaves scattered over
the bed will keep the seed from injury
and it will sprout and grow with the
first warm weather in spring Almost
every one has seen self sown lettuce on
the beds where it was grown and went
to seed the previous year It is much
more forward than spring sown lettuce
can be had in the same locality
Plant Watering
Watering is the most important oper
ation in connection with plant growth
Plants grown in rooms are benefited
by an immersion in water at the same
temperature as the room for about ten
minutes once a week Water should
never be given before needed neither
should plants be allowed to become
surface watered Rain water is the
best for all purposes The best time
for watering plants during summer is
the evening but in winter morning
should be chosen for the work
Banishthe Curry Comb
The curry comb is an instrument of
torture that should be banished In
some stables a great improvement up
on it is a large wisp of straw twisted
tight tied into a knot and pounded
flat on one The flat side is used
in grooming after being slightly damp
ened It is much better for the skin
and hair than the curry comb re
moves dust well and gives the animal
a glossy healthy coat Brisk rubbing
with soft woolen cloths is excellent for
giving the hair a silky glossy appear
ance and is an excellent thing for the
skin
Farm More Intensively
Experience and necessity force
changes in methods that would not
occur but for the failure to sequre profit
where no difficulty previously existed
In England where the system of farm
ing is on the intensive plan dairymen
are abandoning pasture They are dis
covering that more food can be grown
on the pasture land than can be se
cured from the grass and hay and that
by a succession of green crops they can
derive better foods than can be
had from grass There is more labor
required but the products are larger
and the profits greatly increased Root
crops and soiling enable the English
to pay high rents and the methods
they adopt are the result of years of ex
perience In this country dairymen
will find it to their advantage to grow
green food as well is grass and utilize
roots as well also as a protection
against drought and unfavorable condi
tions To meet low prices for farm
products the crops on every acre must
be larger and also utilized in the best
manner
Storing Roots in Pits
The proper way to keep all roots is in
out-of-door pits and as much as possi
ble excluding air from them Some
kinds of roots as turnips rutabagas
and carrots do not easily freeze but
all are injured by exposure to the air
When we grow potatoes largely we al
ways stored most of what were not
sold in the fall in pits This is especial
ly important for the potatoes required
for seed While the ground was still
frozen Ave covered the potato heaps
with straw so as to keep it frozen as
long as possible Potatoes that can be
kept from sprouting until planting time
produce much the best crops Ex
change
Care of Grain Drills
The grain drill is quite too expensive
to be allowed to remain out of doors er
posed to the weather when not in use
It should be carefully cleaned from all
dirt and those especially with a fertil
izer attachment should be scoured to
take off the rust from use and then
coated with grease to prevent the air
from getting to the metal Most grain
drills rust out rather than wear out
They are used even where fall grain
Is sown only a few days in the spring
and fall and ought to last a lifetime
with few repairs if they are properly
sheltered when not in use
Exercise for Cows
The cow which is bearing young or
giving milk is not naturally a frisky
animal We never believed that she re
quired much exercise Most times
when Ave have turned them out Avhile
cleaning their stables instead of run
ning about the coav will be seen cud
dled close to the stack to shelter herself
from cold Avinds It is still worse when
rain is falling The cow then needs
shelter ratter than exercise and can
keep warm standing still in her stable
better than she can Avhile water is be
ing evaporated from her skin Ameri
can Cultivator
Feedinjr for Milk
Feeding the coavs to increase the now
of milk should not entail additional ex
pense if the farmer uses judgment in
proportioning the various foods If
grain linseed meal and other concen
trated foods are given in excess the di
gestion may be impaired and if hay is
mostly given the animals will be com
pelled to eat large quantities of it to se
cure the desired nourishment Foods
should consist of both concentrated and
bulky substances regulating the pro
portions according to the conditions
and circumstances
Fall Planted Trees
As fall rams are coming on some care
is needed to trees lately planted Very
often the earth used to fill around the
trunk sinks away leaving a hollow
which carries the rains down among
the roots As these in newly planted
trees are dormant during winter this
water does them much injury It is al
ways best to draw up earth around
newly planted trees This is a protec
tion against attacks of mice if the earth
is closely compacted The earth should
be pulled away from the trees in the
spring
Grain Cheaper than Hay
If given with enough hay or straw or
cornstalks to distend the stomach
grain is better feed than hay because
more easilr digested In the coarser
fodder so much of the nutrition goes
to sustain animal heat or the processes
of digestion that comparatively little
is left to make flesh or milk or fats
The knowledge that some grain with
hay makes cheaper nutrition is not
half so widely extended as it ought to
be If It were there would be a better
demand for grain and it would sell at
better prices
Iteed Iittle Pruning
Both lilac and weigela bear their
flowers on their young or green shoots
and if pruned in autumn or winter the
bloom will be much reduced These
plants need very little pruning as a
rule beyond cutting away any dead
wood or unnecessary branches but if
at any time it should be thought desir
able to shorten or head back the
branches the proper time for doing it
is immediately after the plants havo
finished their blooming
Adamantine Wood Protection

It is distasteful to many people to see their names in
public print as indorsers of proprietary remedies They
feel a natural aversion to having their ailments published
In the newspapers At the same time a feeling of human
ity prompts them now and then to say something that may
lead to such relief of other sufferers as they have them
selves experienced This was the case with one of New
York Citys merchant princes a man who stands at the
head of his particular line of trade Not long ago he de
clared that Ripans Tabules were simply admirable for
correcting disorders of the digestive organs He found
that they sweeten the stomach that they gently move the
bowels and that they give quick relief from the distress
that accompanies indigestion This gentleman says that
he will never again allow himself to be without a supply
