LYDIA E. PINKHAM
Nature and a woman's work com
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's illb that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmoth"rs they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate sull'erini ; .
The Indians on our AVestern
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herhs for every ailment , and cure
diseases that bailie the most skilled
phy.siei-ins who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pink'iam more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pe
culiar ills , more potent and efnea
cious than any combination of drugs ,
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muif , of 515 X.C. St. ,
Louisiana. Mo. , writes :
" Complete restoration to health
means so mueh to me that for the sake
of other suffering- women 1 am willing-
to make ray troubles public. -
4'For twelve years I haxl been suffering
ing- with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time I had eleven different
physicians without help. Xo tongue
can tell what I suffered , and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it , and can truly saj' that
Lydia E. Pinlcham's. Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advic' : reStored -
Stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women. "
"What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound did for Mrs. Muif ,
it "will do for other suffering women.

One large feeder of sheep figures

Never wheelbarrow a hog ; that is ,
never pick him up by the hind legs
and make him walk on his front legs ,
as you are apt to strain the muscles
of his kidneys. Men who breed pure
bred hogs are sometimes apt to make
that mistake when they have to put
one in a crate to ship out. It is much
better to use the three-cornered hur
dle and make the pig walk on all fours
to his crate.
Talk about a new wrinkle , here is

through the mill and positively know it

that is thoroughly stuck , don't throw
off your load , but pry j'our wheels up
and throw wood or stones under them.
With a twelve-foot lever you can raise
any wheel and you can , in n short
time , almost make a load move itself.

A Russian firm which manufactures
optical goods turns out thousands of
pairs of glasses every year to be worn
by co\vs.
"There are a great many cows that
wear glasses in my country. " said a
Russian visitor to Xew York in expla
nation. " 1 have seen a herd ofJOGUO
cows with glasses on.
"It was on the steppes , the great
Russian prairies. Our steppes for six
months in the year are covered witli
snow , but during a part of the time
delicate , fresh grass tips protrude from
that white and dazzling mantle. The
cows then are turned out to feed on
the new grass , but if their eyes are un
protected the dazzle of sunshine on the
snow gives them snow blindness.
"Thousands of cows suffered horri
bly. and hundreds died of snow blind-
ni-ss until a rude , cheap kind of spec
tacle3. made of leather and smoked
glass , was invented and used , with
great success. "
The Poliito
The original potato bug lived some-
rhcro in the highlands of Central
Amerli a. From him descended the
of the insect in
great-grandfather ques
tion the striped black-and-white crea
ture which still inhabits the coast of
the Caribbean sea. This insect never
saw , i potato plant ; it lived on the
wild sand-bur. This plant is distantly
related to our cultivated potato ; but
until coinparativelty lately fas such
terms are understood In discussions of
evolution ) , no "potato bug" has been
anything but a sand-bur bug.
When the Spaniards invaded Mexico ,
In l. U > . rhey introduced horses , and as
the conquerors went north the sandbur -
bur plants multiplied in regions where
they had never been seen before , and
the sand-bur beetle followed them.
From these migratory beetles descend
ed the present Colorado beetle , which
was first recogni/.c < l as a new species
In the 17th or ISth century : but even
up to 1S23 it still lived on the wild
Band-bur , and was not abundant or
troublesome. With the western move
ment of civilization , however , the sandbur -
bur beetle and Irish potatoes were
bvought In contact , and it was not long
b-ifore the beetle decided in favor of
the potato stalks as against the fare
furnished by the Band-bur. lie began
to be a potato bug , and so rapidly did
he thrive upon his new nourishment
that inside ofJO years he was known
and execrated everywhere in the Unit-
id States and Canada.
Test.
That pigs must be accustomed to
eating shelled corn before they will
do well on it was proven in an experi
ment just concluded by Prof. Williain
Deitrich , of the Illinois Experiment
Station. The pigs used in the test
were sold on the Chicago market. There
were sixty-live herd in the entine lot ,
forty-nine of which had been used in
the above-mentioned feeding test They
sold at 5G.23.
This is the fifth experiment in n
series which Prof. Deitrich is conduct
ing with the aim of establishing a new
feeding standard. These pigs were fed
corn meal , middlings and tankage , with
clover hay. The pigs were weaned at
2 months old , when the feeding began ,
and continued for six months , making
them S months old when sold. In this
test when the pigs were weaned , in
stead of feeding them corn meal , they
were given shelled corn in their slop.
They were fed this way. for three weeks ,
but didn't do so well , so the shelled
was dropped and the corn meal
'fdded. ' Prof. Deitrich says they lost
from eighty to ninety pounds' gain by
giving shelled corn. They did not mas-
ticatclyt thoroughly and it hurt their
digestion. He says it showed that corn
meal was necessary to the ration to di
lute the middlings and tankage and
more equally distribute the protein.
Otherwise they did not all get an equal
share , some eating more than others.
In previous tests pigs have been made
to average 2iO pounds at S months , as
compared with ITT pounds of the pres
ent one , which shows the effect of feedIng -
Ing shelled corn.
Mushroom Effect oil Plant * .
The author of a Xew York Cornell
station bulletin carried on an investi
gation to determine whether the sub
stance of various fleshy fungi could be
use ; ! as food to any extent by green
plants in either an undecomposed con
dition or when partly or completely de
composed by bacteria or fungi.
In the spring of 1005 some prelimi
nary experiments were conducted with
the common jiuishroom ( Agarlcus cam-
pivstis ) as a source of plant food for
corn , beans , pens and buckwheat. In
the winter and spring of 1900 these ex
periments were repeated with better
control. The plants were grown In
quart ; : sand , and the mushroom mate
rial was used fresh in an unfermented
condition in some of the pots , while in
others it was fermented. Wheat , buck
wheat , corn , sunflower and radishes
were planted in the different pots. It
was found that the stronger-fermented
substance produced the richest color
and tallest plants , followed by the
weaker strength of fermented materi
al , while the check plants were the
smallest and poorest in color. An ex
amination of photographs taken of the
growing plants showed a constancy in
the curve of growth for the different
kinds of plants corresponding to the
nature of the material supplied.
Experiments were also carried on
with pure cultures with agar-agar as a
sul-strattim , and the results were in the
main comparable with those described
above.
The author states , in conclusion , that
the experiments show that a portion of
the substance of the common mush
room , and probably of all the P.asidi-
mycti-s. may become available as food
for autotrophie green plants , and that
the decomposition products of hetero-
phic plants form a nearly perfect food
for autotrophie ones.

In a paper ro.'ul before the Fanners'
Congress at Ilillsboro. Ore. , William
Schulmerieh described his method , of
curing bacon. lie said : "First , have
the meat thoroughly cooled nil through.
Split the hope through the center of the
backbone. The half is laid on the ta
ble and the le f lard taken out. Xo
ax or cleaver should be used after
splitting the hog in halves. Have n
butcher's steel to keep the knives sharp
and a good , sharp meat saw to cut the
burses. Cut off the ham by sawing
through the backbone 3 inches from
the end of the pelvic bone. Then take
the knife and cut straight across the
side.
"Cut the Hank off the ham ; round
off the tip. or backbone , of the ham ;
saw off the leg close above the back.
Xect cut out the ribs and backbone ;
then cut off the side as close to the
shoulder blade as possible. Cut off u
strip of fat on top and bottom of side.
Round off the top of shoulder close to
the shoulder blade. Cut off strips of ,
clean meat on inside of shoulder. Take
out jawbone of jowl and make bacon '
of same. Make frying sausage of all
lean meat trimmings ; nmTce headcheese - j
cheese or liver sausage of upper head. " j
Mr. Schulmerich said his method of
curing meats in sides is to pile up in
dry salt for twenty-one days. Hams
and shoulders are placed on standing
boards in dry salt for one week , then
taken up , thoroughly washed in warm
water , and again placed in barrels or
tanks for two weeks , covered with
brine. The meat is then taken up and
washed in hot water and hung in the
smokehouse and smoked continually I
for two or three days. Stop smoking
when meat Is a nice brown color. If
the meat is to be kept over summer ,
place it. In large paper bags , such as
are used by hardware dealers. Tie or '
seal tJiem in these bags and put them !
in gunny sacks in a dry , well-ventilated '
place , hanging them up , , of course. A
cellar is not the proper place for this , j
for the meat will mold. The paper !
