There was an unac countable weakness of the back , and constant pain and aching. I could find no rest and was very uncomforta ble at night. As ny health was good In every other way I could not understand this trouble. It was Just as if all the strength had gone from ny back.

Maryland Physician Cures Himself Dr. Pisher Says : "Cuticura Eem- edies Possess True Merit. " "My face was afflicted -with eczema In the year 1S97. I used the Guticura Kemedies. and was entirely cured. I am a practicing physisian , and very often prescribe Cuticura Resolvent and Cuticuna Soap in cases of eczema , and they have cured where other formulas have failed. I am not In the habit of endorsing patent medicines , but when I find remedies possessing true merit , such as the Cuticura Remedies do , I am broad-minded enough to proclaim their virtues to the world. I have been practicing medicine for sixteen years , and must say I find your Remedies A No. 1. You are at liberty to publish this letter. G. M. Fisher , M. D. , Big Pool , Md. , May 24 , 1905. " Uncle Allen. "We oughtn't to overdo this investi gating business , " intimated Uncle Allen Sparks. "Some of these days' the people , observing that the general health of the country is better than it ever was , will come to the conclusion that canned dirt Is wholesome and will prefer it. " IT IS HATURE'SWARN1H6 TO WOMEH _ Diseases of Woman's Organism Cured and Consequent Pain Stopped by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. " It seems as though my back would j "break. " Women utter these words over and over again , but continue to drag1 along and suffer.-vyith aches in the small of the back , pain low down in the side , " bearing'-down" pains , ner- Tousness and no ambition for any task. Miss Maude Mor They do not realize that the back 13 the mainspring of woman's organism , and quickly indicates by aching a dk eased condition of the female organs or kidneys , and that the aches and pains will continue until the cause is removed. s Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound has been for many years the one and only effective remedy in such cases. It speedily cures female a id kidney disorders and restores the fe male organs to a healthy condition. "I have Buffered with female troubles forever over two years , suffering intense pain each month , ray back nched until it seemed as though it would break , and I felt so weak all over that I did not find strength to attend to my work but had to stay in bed a largo part of the first two or three days every monih.- | I would have sleepless nights , bad dreams nrtQ Revere headaches. All this undermined my ( health. "We consulted an old family physician , who Fad vised thaj # try L dia E. Pinkham's Vegetable - ; table C6mpimnd.

" Miss Jfeudo Morris , Sec. Ladies' Aid and-Mission Society , it Hunter St. , Atlanta , Ga. Sewer and Tunnel Miners' Association at Chicago has a membership of 1.500. The bridge and structural iron work ers by a vote of 2,552 to 1,857 , have de cided to affiliate with the Structural Building Trades Alliance. The mayor of Boston has notified the Electrical Workers' Union that the men employed in the fire alarm department will be put on the eight-hour basis. It has been figured that the strike of the Wall street messenger boys cost th street $1,000,000 , and that $100,000 would have paid the increase demanded for 101 years. The latest union formation is the Marine - rine Drivers' and Tenders' Union , recently - cently organized at Cleveland. Branches ore to be established in other port cities on the lakes and the seaboard. The Boot and Shoe Workers' National Union , headquarters at Boston , has up wards of $100,000 in its international treasury and has within the past few years expended $300,000 in sick and death benefits. Many German concerns own dwelling houses and rent them to workmen at act ual cost. They provide restaurants and meals at actual cost ; furnish fuel at actual cost , and give transportation in whole or part. Differences between the Master Paint ers' Association of Pittsburg , Pa. , and the unions of the Brotherhood of Painters of fare have ers over the payment car culminated in the declaration by the mas ter painters of a general lockout against their employes. New'York , New Haven and Hartford machinists , about 750 in number , have been granted an increase in wages averag ing about one cent an hour. The negotia tions were made by the committee of the district lodge of the unions. Within three years the district lodge has secured the nine-hour day raid wage increases in the aggregate make the present about 4 per cent more than was the 10-hour day three years ago. Jolm\Burns , as president of the Local Government Board in England , says that the government will take up the old age pensions question when the report of the Poor LawvCommission has been receiv ed. Personafiy be considers that it would be the b st , simplest and fairest , in in augurating an old age pensfoa scheme , to give everyone a pension of five shillings per week on reaching the age of 65 , mili tary , nafval , civil andVaunicipal pension ers to be excluded. > % The Commercial Telegraphers' Union of America has decided .to tablish a mutual - , tual benefit department. TBJs will begin doing business Oct. 1. A mortU y will be maintained similar to railroad brotherhoods , from which claims will be paid. The officers * of rlie\ organization believe that the insurance department - ' partment will prove an attractive feature to non-members , as they can procure cheaper insurance through it than they could in any of the old-line companies. Details of the settlement of the Ohio coal miners' strike have reached Wash ington. In the settlement the miners re ceive better than the 1903 scale , despite the declaration that no increase would be granted. This increase amounts to 5.S8 per cent. On their part , the miners themselves make concessions in matters of j detail. The district meetings held recently - J cently to consider the Columbus agreement - j ment have uniformly indorsed it , and it \ is stated that all the striking miners will \ be back at work soon. | Organized labor in New York took advantage - , vantage of the drift of popular sentiment the other day in a novel way. At Coey- mans and Glasgoe , on the outskirts of Gotham , there has been intermittent warfare - , fare for twenty years between the em ployers and the unions , with the unions a poor second. Recently the employers appealed - ' pealed to the International Brick , Tile and Terra Cotta Workers , who , in turn , engaged former State Senator Cantor to prosecute the brick manufacturers for violations of the anti-trust laws , where upon the latter capitulated , signed an agreement with the union and discontinued - i ued the alleged illegal practices. During the first quartei ; of this year the average earnings of 333,000 workmen in ' New York State , according to the bulletin - | tin of the labor department , were $2.33 a day , or $212 for the quarter. No women , or miners are included in this statement. | The average wage for this period was $3 , compared with . for -the j as $2.SS - same period - riod last year. The extraordinary demand for labor is not confined to the building industry , where it is most marked , but is felt in all lines. The membership dn labor unions now aggregates 394.270 , an in crease of 11,034 in the half year. The estimated cost of new buildings in New York City alone during the first quarter was $50,000,000. Reports from officers of international unions of the American Federation of Labor , made to President Gompers , show favorable conditions for the bill posters , blacksmiths , carriage and cement work ers , elevator constructors ( the latter hav ing secured a new agreement in Pitts- burg ) and the trades generaJly. In Ala bama the printers' demand for an eight- hour day was won without a strike ; car penters have received an increase in wages in Hot Springs , Little Rock , New Ha ven , Danville , Galesburg , Granite City [ and Tamaroa , 111. , Portland , Me. , and other points. Increases in wages are also reported in the other bnilding trades , a generally higher rate paid everywhere to union than non-union labor and plenty of employment. i The United Cloth , Hat and Cap Mak ers' of America have placed a per capita tax of 10 cents per year for support of the tuberculosis sanatorium conducted by the organization at Denver , Colo. , for the benefit of its members. The cotton manufacturers of Fall Riv er , Mass. , put into effect Monday the n-age scale of 1004. which was out 12 per cent in July of that year. The in" crease concerns 20,000 mill operatives , and it is said that the nufl , owners hope this will bring back the fantflies of skilled t aperators who migrated to Rhode Island , New Hampshire and Canada - " " " ' ' ' ' ' - , T ' ' " " ' - - ' V. ' Cows giving milk consume much more water than those not giving Jtnilk. With reasonably good management cheep should give greater returns than any other live stock. One great source * of Infertile eggs is due to the fact that too many females are yarded with one cock. The expense In labor In caring for a garden adequate to supply the needs of an ordinary family nee'd not exceed $30 a year. Early hatched chicks should be taken from the brooders and placed in rat- proof colony houses. They will huddle In a corner at first , and should be taught to roost as soon as possible. Tbe labor of hand weeding may be reduced to a iniittmurn by planting In freshly worked soil only , tilling close to the rows early in the season , and permitting no weeds to ripen their seed. In selecting eggs for hatching , take those of uniform size and thickness | of shell. Reject the dirty , mottled eggS and those with thin shells. Do not set small eggs nor eggs more than thirty daye old. Where sixteen hours a day is still the rule on the farm It is pertinent to ask the question , "Is there any necessity for such slaving ? " Many a boy has been driven to the city by just such methods of carrying on farm operations. Grape cuttings should be planted as eoon as the soil can be worked In the ep'rlng. In planting put them in the ground up to ttie top tmd and at a slant so that the soil will be packed firmly about them to prevent drying out It ougnt not to require the aid of ex perts to show the danger of formalde hyde and formalin as a milk pr erver. The milk sellers do not have the same interest in this that the consumers have , and all who -persist in the use of such drugs should be given a taste of the strong arm of the law. The "cock-sure cure" for hog cholera promulgated a few years ago by the government has gone off "half cocked" aitfiUthe whole scheme has failed. The reaso it failed was due to the fact that a whol L berd had to be destroyed In order to effect a cure. Strange. This Is like theSvman wno cleared his barn of rats by setting It on fire. Artistic garden beds have earned a * good , long res reason for them it has all vanished The best way to grow garden vegetables * nowadays Is to grow them in long rows so they can be easily cultivated by hand or wheel hoe. Plant rows extending across the garden , arranging the varie ties so that other and later crops can take the place of the early vegetables , Sheep are the best animals to graze In a sod orchard. They crop the grass close to the ground , thus obviating loss of moisture by evaporation through the blades. They do not tramp the ground solidly like cattle , and their droppings are an aid to fertilization be cause of their extended distribution. Sheep also keep the orchard clear of weeds and briars , if turned into it early enough in the summer. Experiments show that a cow when In full flow of milk drinks from 1,500 to 2,000 pounds of water a month , the : average quantity , determined by test ing a herd , being 1,060 pounds per cow. This fact shows the Importance of un limited supply of water at all seasons of the year. In every .100 quarts of ) milk the farmer sells about eighty- eight quarts of water , and when the cow cannot procure water at all times she will fall off In yield. Pruning should be done as early as possible to give the wounds time to heal. Especially is this true where : pruning is heavy. It Is not yet too late to finish this sort of work , but no large limbs should be cut , because they ' will not heal in time to prevent bleedIng - Ing when the sap begins to flow. Palnt- kig all scas of an inch or more in di ameter made at this time of the year will prevent bleeding and destroy a breeding place for fungus diseases. In planting pea h trees a Western Missouri orchardist recommends put ting out strong .oAe-year-olds and cut > ting them back to start switches IS Inches high. He plants his trees 18 to ; 20 feet apart , and cultivates well. He claims the best tool for this purpose is double cutaway harrow. After three years he cuts the trees back one-third on each season's growth. Tomatoes hs Ii Iin recommends as a good crop to grow in n the peach orchard , provided there is a market for them. made at the Cocnefl Unl- oJ Statioii ia mehaoxly ago pioyed tkot it t a f pom tbe sail fe > thaa to preduoe twenty average crops rf wheat. Itfwill be readily seen thnt ; in view of this fact not only should : io secondary crops be grown in the or chard which will rob the soil , but that the trees should be heavily fertilized where possible. It is this pull of the trees onthe fertility of the soil that makes clover-and alfalfa Ideal orchard crops. Soy Beans in Feeding : Ration. Prof. J. H. Skiner , of the Purdue University Experiment Station , says that with good clover pasture swine growing was much more economical than by feeding alone. Experiments in feeding at the Indiana station show the cost per 100 pounds of grain with corn nieal only was $5.01 ; with one- half corn meal and one-haJf middlings , $3.44 ; with two-thirds corn meal and one-third soy beans , $3.50 ; and five- sixths corn meal a < nd one-third tank age , $3.71. The use of soy beans -was commended to improve the ration , bet ter returns in grain1 thus being aecur-ed , while the beans as a crop in growing add to the fertility of the soil. Tomatoes Early and Good. An Indiana farmer says that gen. eraJly very early tomatoes are verV poor quality about one half seeds and one-half water. Here Is the way , he says , he gets early tomatoes of good quality : He takes medium early of good variety , plants in a pot or old can that is first lined with a piece of old muslin or other thin cloth , then filled with good soil. He plants tt ee or four seeds , sets upon shelf with house plants , lets grow until latter part of May , then lifts out the plant , soil and all , by the cloth , and plants in the garden , thinning to one stalk to a can. lie has set out when in bloom and kad tomatoes in a short time. Bee Xoiisen.se. After slumbering more or less quiet ly for a few years , the roinaritic tale that the bees drop into each cell of honey a small drop of poison from the sting before sealing up the cell , using the sting as a trowel to work the wax , seems to have started anew its rounds of the public press. To any who have sent in clippings of the kind , possibly wondering what foundation there may be for the yarn , It may be said on the authority of a bee expert that it is all a work ofr imagination , Its originator apparently seeming to think it true , but never offering a particle of proof. Of course , none of the papers that gave it currency will bother them selves with a contradiction , and the only thing that can be done Is patiently Jt to run Its course and d'ie out , onfJ to be resurrected seven years later by" some penny-a-liner who has nothing d 86 sensational on hand. To HiJ.8en Replanted Corn. F. S. Patterson in Farm and Ranch thus tells hoW to hasten replanted 2orn : \ Drip the stro'BSest kind of liquid manure , and soak \ the seed In it two flays and night bef planting. Check the land 3x2 feet , drP the corn two to three grains to the itfH , Put one good big handful of manurevor rotted cotton seed on the corn , and cer Shtly. If land is strong , leave tw stalks to the bill , otherwise one. As s ° on as. corn is ivell up , which will be but\a few > days , tiave the replant corn sP ed two lays and nights , or until ge P ls Just ibout out Go over and careSy re plant every hill , one grain to shallow.

If you cannot plow it , harrow It intil large enough to plow. Alfalfa Valuable Feeding' Plant. Probably the best summing up of the ralue of alfalfa to American farmers Is n the bulletin on the subject issued by he Experiment Station of Wisconsin , vhich follows : "Alfalfa has practically he same feeding constituents , pound 'or pound , as good bran , and shouFd be egarded as an equal to bran when ised as a feed for stock. AlfalSa yields hre times as much protein per acre is clover , and nine times as much pro- ein as timothy. " Taking the two state- uents together , they are of special sig- lifieance to dairymen , whose greatest iced Is the supplying of protein In the bed to the cows at the smallest , cost ossible. Leaving aside the fact that he crop when once established can be aihereil several times during a sJngle eason , and that it will retain its cut- ing value for years , the protein value f it is enough to maJze any dairyman ake notice und to warrant him in'mak- tig greater efforts than he e-Ter before iado in growing a feeding crop , to row alfiikfa.
