BLOOD WILL TELL
A THEORY SUPPORTED BY FRESH,
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE.
A Recent Instance Proves That a
Woman's Happiness Is Largely De-
. pendent on the State of Her Blood.
When the blood Is disordered every
organ of the body is affected unfavor
ably and fails to discharge its func
tions properly, in the case of every
woman nature has made special pro
vision for a periodical purification of
the blood, and so long as this occurs
her health and spirits unfailingly re
veal the beneficial results. So slight
a cause as a cold or a nervous shock
may produce a suppression of this
Titai function, and until it Is restored
she ib doomed to misery. The remedy
that has proved most prompt and
effective in all disorders peculiar to
the female sex is that which brought
huch great relief to Miss Mattie
Giiggs, of No. SOT Indiana street, Ijw
rnce, Kansas, concerning which she
fcpe-aks as follows:
"In th- winter of 1902, from some
unknown cause, there was a cessation
of functions peculiar to my sex for a
period of four months. I became very
weak and could not get up stairs
without help. 1 had nausea and pain
and a constant headache. I was un
der the care of a physician for three
months, but h did not .ucceed in cur

about the merits of Dr. "Williams' Pink

Fair of Beaucaire..
An unsuccessful effort has been
made in France to revive the fair of
Beaucaire on a scale comparative to
that of the good old times. These
fars began -in the thirteenth century,
and gradually rose to such -proportions
that in 1790, for instance, the busi
ness transacted amounted to "40,000,
000 francs. Before the middle of the
last century, the 1 ail way changed all
this, and today the fair is a mere
shadow of its former self.
Great Country for Wheat.
The delta of the Tigris and the
Euphrates, now partially a desert and
partially a swamp, contains over 5,
000,000 acres of land. Perhaps no re
gion of all the regions of the earth is
more favored by nature for the pro
duction of cereals. It is claimed that
wheat in its wild, uncultivated state
has its home in the semi-arid regions.
and that from here it has been trans
lorted to every quarter of the globe.

POTATO CULTURE.
"Potatoes may be grown on a va
riety of soils; but the most important
factor in growing them successfully,
after the proper selection of tubers
for seeding, is the selection of the
kind of soil best adapted to them.
Soil in a pulverized state, so light
that it will offer but small resistance
to the growth of the tubers, should be
selected. The ground should be well
drained, and have a supply of organic
matter sufficient to keep it in a state
of moisture, which is necessary to the
normal growth of the potato. Plow
ing under green crops and adding
well rotted farm manures will render
almost any kind of soil suitable for
growing this crop; while newly clear
ed lands are adapted to Some variety
of the potato; as the soil is in a me
chanically favorable state to its
growth, and have a liberal supply ot
organic matter, which continues till
cultivation exhausts it from the soil.
The mechanical condition of the soil
is of much importance; as its natural
fertility and artificial fertilization will,
to a great extent, supply the defi
ciency of this organic quality, if the
soil is in a condition to furnish the
necessary moisture. Experience in
growing this crop teaches that one
vear. or two years at most, is as" long
.is this crop should be without change
grown on a piece or ground, because
the plant food suited to the potato by
that time becomes exhausted, and
then the germs of disease from the
-scabby tubers will remain in the soil,
and they must be starved out by
changing the crop to that which will
not support these particular germs."
In the rush of other work we are
apt to forget the water supplies in
the pasture. But the cows do not for
get them. If they rim dry, the cattle
suffer, and suffering cows cannot, and
will not, overlook such neglect. St)
if the milk supply falls short, start
for the springs and see if they are
all right.
NEW AND OLD SEEDS.
While some seeds become nearly
worthless when carried over one year,
jther varieties are not injured appre
ciably. The results of one series 01
ileven years of seed-testing indicate
.hat red clover has a high percentage
)t vitality when new, and retains its
itallty well. In the second year the
seed was about as good as it was in its
3rst year, and the loss in vitality the
.bird year was not great. After that
t began to lose more rapidly, though
1 few seeds germinated when eleven
ears old. Timothy retains its vitali
.y equally well. Orchard grass has
nuch seed that is worthless when new,
out that which is good retains its
.'itality well. The percentage of blue
rrass seed that is good when new is
jften quite small, and the seed loses
apidly with age. Alfalfa remains
?0od for several years, though losing
dightly each year.
Of most importance to the fruit
grower is the handling and packing
of fruit. No matter how fine the fruit
may be before packing, if it is han
dled roughly and is packed in a care
less, slovenly manner it will never
bring the top price. We must offer
our fruit for sale in an attractive
form, otherwise our selection of va
rieties and subsequent care will be
useless. When the fruit grower gives
the same care and attention to put
ting his product on the market in an
attractive form that the manufacturer
does with his goods, we shall have
made a great advance toward better
prices. If you plant the best varie
ties give them intelligent cultivation.
prune and spray when necessary and
offer your product for sale in the
most attractive manner, ycu will find
that there is still money in fruit rais
ing enough to pay your bills and
leave a snug little nest egg besides.
MANURE STRAWBERRIES IN
VANCE OF PLANTING.
AD-
Where possible strawberry ground
should be thoroughly fertilized the
year before putting in the plants.
This should be done in the case of
making new beds. It is now time to
be looking after that phase of straw
berry growing. Plow the ground now
in which are to be set strawberry
plants next year. Fertilize it heavily
and plow in the manure. It will rot
by spring, when the ground should be
again pulverized. If the manure is
rotted by fall, the ground may be
then reworked to incorporate more
thoroughly the fiber in the manure.
Where old beds are to be fertilized,
the manure can be scattered in the
spaces between the rows now and
then spaded or cultivated in. It is
possible to overdo the matter of fer
tility and cause the production of fol
iage rather than berries. There is,
however, less danger In doing this
than of feeding the plants too little.
When husking one occasionally
finds an ear of corn about as near
perfection as could be asked. Such
nn ear is valuable, worth more than a
dollar, having in it possibilities of
seed improvement which no farmer
can afford to ignore. Instead of mix
ing it with the less desirable seed.
plant it and half a dozen more ears
of the same type, if they can be
found, in a block by themselves on
one side of the field. Then select the
finest of the crop and in a few years
there will be enough selected for the
whole planting. .But keep Tight on
with the selection. It takes but little
time each year, and no work will pay
Detter. Besides, there is real satis
faction in having a hand in the im
provement of anything, whether plant,
animal or man. Now is the time to
100k over the seed, before the rush
f planting comes. This - is called
"seed breeding," but a farmer must
nave a clear idea of what a good ear.
should be.
Breed for a purpose. Learn that
purpose .and stick to.it. Learn the
good type for that purpose and 'cling
to that type.
THE PEACH TREE.
Numerous methods of protection
during winter have been tried with
more or less success. In a peach or
chard at Columbus City. Iowa', that
I have seen, the trees are growing
with several trunks that. are bent to
th ground ami h!d there by heavy
weight. This man has peaches every
vear. But the trees that I have seen
fruiting in off year are trees that are
close to some building or grove, or
where the sun does not shine directly
en them. There is an erroneous opin
ion among fruit growers, some of
whom believe that giowth of the buds
cannot take place unless the roots
are thawed and active. In conform
ity with this theory they advise heavy
mulching under the tree after the
ground freezes to keep the roots froz
en and dormant. This is supposed to
retard swelling and growth of the
buds until danger of frost is over. The
error of this theory can be easily
proven. If you have a vine or shrub
or tree near your building, draw the
end through the wall into the warm
room, it can be forced into consider
able growth, while the parent plant
to which it is attached remains froz
en solid outside.
In discussing the question, "Will
fruit growing be overdone?" bear in
mind that the population is becoming
more and more inclined towards a
vegetarian and frtiit diet.
HOW TO DO A THING.
There's- only one way to do a thing
right and that's the right way; there's
no other way "just as good." it's
either better or inferior, says a writer
in Ourselves.
If there's a better method of doing
a thing than you are using that's the
one you want; if it isn't a better meth
od, then it's just the one you don't
want.
Because a thing has always been
done in a certain way isn't any reason
why it should be done that way al
.vays rather the opposite this is a
iirogressive age.
Don't be narrow-minded; it leads to
ruts; be generously willing to be con
vinced. A broad tire will carry a
heavy load safely where a narrow one
will sink under one lighter.
Egotism is bad. YOU don't know it
al'; bigotry is worse, the other fellow
isn't always a dolt.
The most progressive dairymen of
the west expect their cows to each
yield twenty-five pounds of milk a day
during the first one hundred days,
twenty pounds during the second -one
hundred days, and fifteen pounds dur
ing the third, making a total of C.000
pounds. In three hundred days, leav
ing sixty-five days for recuperation
With proper facilties for raising
cream, this milk worked into butter
makes 240 pounds. A very few dairy
men make their cows yield an aver
age of 7.500 pounds of milk a year,
from which they make COO pounds ol
butter. Much the greater number o.
cows kept for dairy purposes yield
less than 4.000 pounds of milk a year
and from this the butter produced is
less than 150 iKuinds.
THE LAWN.
Wherever lawn improvements are
contemplated or are in progress, the
rough grading should, as far as pos
sible, be completed before winter sets
in There are a number of advan
tages in fall grading which should not
be overlooked. Perhaps most impor
tant of all is that of having the sil
thoroughly settle before the seeding
is done in the spring. When there is
deep filling, as in case of closelj '
draintiles and the like, the only per
feet settling is that which occurs with
rough grading; leaving the soil some
what high and well trodden over the
deep places In the autumn. By then
finishing the surface and seeding in
the spring, there will be perfect even
ness for all time. Do deep filling in
the spring or at any time Just be
fore seeding or godding, and more 01
less unevenness to the lawn surface
is true to result, no matter how care
fully the soil Is firmed.
The man who "puts nis hired man
through" from morning till night will
soon be looking for another hand and
wondering how it is that hired men
are so hard to get and to keep.
SEED CORN.
Remember that it is not necessary
that corn should be dead ripe before
harvesting in-order, to germinate next
spring, but it 'must be thoroughly
dried before hard frosts set in. other
wise its germinating power will be
weak. Get it thoroughly dried, even
if it has to be taken up over the kitch
en where the stove pipe runs through
the room. Hang it .up there or.'spread
it out on the- floor, if yotj cannot be
certain of getting it dry in a more
convenient way. We knoyv Jots of
farmers this year who will lose hun
dreds of dollars on account of neg
lecting to properly dry the seed corn
last year.
Can you think of any Spot on earth
move near to heaven than the well
kept farm, or a man and woman who
ought to be happier than the owners
of the farm, with their boys and. girls
around, them?
SORGHUM AS FORAGE.
The use "of sorghum as a forage Is
becoming' more and 'more general
eacn year. Men who have tried it
j like it and say that no forage raised
on the farm. is so eagerly eaten by
stock ..of all kinds, and. it seems to
"make no difference if it does become'
a little mildewed and musty; the
stock -will eat it up clean. The best
success with this crop is had by sow
ing the last of May, drilled'or broad
cast, and sowing thickly, cutting it
just as- late as possible in the fall.
so that, the hard frosts will not spoil
it", then bunching it into cocks In the
field of 500 or. G00 pounds each and
letting it remain there until- wanted
in the winter In this" 'way i. does
not cure as does hay, but retains -its
juices and succulent qualities. It is
greatly esteemed as a- substitute for
silage.
?rr!itiszr&..
CUT.THE CORN FODDER.
"What . is more annoying than to
have the manure full of long corn
L stalks in the spring, when it is hauled
to the field. To avoid this I always
run the fodder through the feed cut
ter before feeding it to the live stock.
This I find has several advantages
over feeding it whole." It is eaten up
closer,. and the part not eaten is a
far better absorbent than are the un
cut stalks, while the annoyance of
having the long stalks In the manure
is avoided, which alone will pay for
the expense of cutting. It would pay
our Western friends well to utilize
the corn stalks for cattle feed to a
far greater extent than they do at
present, No doubt the practice of
shredding corn fodder will, before
long, become very popular in the
Western states at least and greatly to
the advantage of the farmer. The
farmer ought to make the most of ev
erything that he 'grows, but the way
mat ne sometimes disposes of his
... ..uc. .0 MUl ,c uwsi trauuHif
cal up-to-date way.'
One great advantage which sheep
husbandry offers over other lines of
stock raising is the small amount of
labor required in the care of sheep.
When we are striving for decreased
cost of production this saving of labor
is no small item.
SOIL FOR STRAWBERRIES.
We are asked by an Illinois corre
spondent the best soil for the produc- J
tion of a large crop of strawberries.
In the first place the strawberry is at
least 99 per cent water and hence one
of the requisites to a large yield must
be retensive soil, alter the question
of fertility, etc.. this must be taken
into consideration. To grow the larg
est berries we believe sandy soils are
the best, but to produce the most
bushels we should suggest a deep,
loamy soil. One that was rather re
tentive of moisture, and yet had suffi
cient drainage, as strawberry roots
are very short and superficial. The'
soil must be one that requires con
stant shallow cultivation and by so
doing keeping the plant in the best
working condition by supplying an
abundance of moisture at the surface,
if it is plants that one is after, we
should then use the sandy soil, as it
is very essential and allows the roots
to penetrate the soil deeper.
As the season advances corn be
comes harder and harder as it dries
mt. Horses fed on it will often be
come sore mouthed and will eat with
out chewing, bolting the kernels
whole. To preent this, place sev
eral smooth, clean stones in the feed
box. This will require time for pick
ng up the grain, and there will be
sufficient time after picking up a
mouthful for thorough mastication
while poking the rocks aside to get
mother bite.
CLEANING UP THE OLD
ORCHARD.
On many farms there are old
or-
-hards, which, apparently, have out
lived their usefulness, hut which real
"y have several good crops of fruit
n them still. If for no other reason
than that of sightliness these old or
Jiards should be cleaned out and put
n the best possible condition. If the
rees are really of no value it is a
'ood' plan to cut them down and get
hem cut of the way, so that the land
-an be made profitable. If thev are
.vcrth saving prune out. this fall, the
iroken branches, removing a number
tf the inner ones and shortening the
niter ones. Then scrape the bark
tvhich is crusty and cracked from the
rees so that one or two, applications
jf Bordeaux mixture may be made
n the proper season to destroy in
jects and improve the appearance of
the trees. Plan to plow under the
iod in the coming spring, or.. if you
lo not care, to do this, remove the
-od from close around the trees and
;ow grass seed over the sod, manur
ing it lightly the coming fall.
In every farmhouse In all America
there are at least two pairs of scis
sors and one butcher-knife, and all of
them dull. Let us take an hour off
the corner grocery chat and grind
them.
A POPULAR FALLACY.
A strongly intrenched popular fal
lacy, often exposed, but constantly be
ing revived, is that sulphur is a valu
able 'remedy against insects when put
into holes bored into the trunks of
trees, the idea being that the sulphur,
when plugged in, is carried up by the
movement of the sap into the.
branches and distributed in the foli
age, rendering the latter distasteful to
insects. In point of fact the sulphur
remains exactly where it is placed,
and is 'of no possible advantage from
an insecticide standpoint or any oth-!
er, and furthermore, the treatment is
mischievous in thai it injures to that
extent, the soundness of the trunk.

The district schoolhouse should be

only six or eight hours during the day.
It. should contain a district library,

natural history specimens. The school
house should be made the evening

Character.
The habit of industry, can" be ac

i.ness. . But it is always the man or
boy of character who intrenches him
self with good habits, and it is always
the moral weakling, th'e'characterless
person, who becomes the slave-of evil
habits. Accomplishments are either

Miss Agnes Miller, of Chicago, spks
to young women about dangers of the
Menstrual Period how to avoid pairtand:
suffering and remove the cause by using.
Lydia EL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"To Yorrxo Womex: I suffered for six years irith dvsmenor
fbea Qvunful periods), so much so that I dreaded eTery month, as I
knew it meant three or four days of intense pain. The doctor said
this was due to an inflamed condition of the uterine appendages caused
by reneated and neglected colds.
UU youn girls only realized how dangerous it is to take coki at
this critical time, much suffering would be spared them. Thank God
for Lydia E. PinklianTn Vegetable Compound, that -wp.s the only
medicine which helped me any. Within three weeks, after I .stjirtcdto,
take it, I noticed a marked improvement in my general health, and at
the time of my next monthly period the pain had diminished, consider,
ably, I kept up the treatment, and was cured a month later. I am lik
another person since. I am in perfect health, my eyes are brighter; I havo
added 12 pounds to my weight, my colons good, and! feel light and
happy." 3Iis3 Aoxes 3Iillir, 25 Potomac Ave., Chicago, III.
The monthly sickness reflects the condition of a woman's,
health. Anything unusual at that time should have prompt
and proper attention. Fifty thousand letters from women prove
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound regulates men
struation and makes those periods painless.
