"I suffered from a fe male weakness and stomach trouble, and I went to the store to get a bottle of Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, but the clerk did not waut to let me have it he said it was no good acd wanted mo to try something else, but knowing all about it I in sisted and finally cot it. and I am so glad I did, for it has cured me. "I know of so many cases where wo men have been cured by Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound that I can say to every suffering woman if that medicine does not help her, there is nothing that will." Mrs. Jauetzkl 2903 ArcL St., Chicago, 111. This is the age of substitution, and women who want a cure should insist upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound just as this woman did, and not accept something else on which the druggist can make a little more profit. "Women who are passing through this critical period or who are suffering from any of those distressing ills pe culiar to their sex should not lose sight of the fact that for thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which is made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for fe male ills. In almost every community you will liud women who have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. POSITIVE PROOF. "How do I know that yon really love xne?

Mich. gSaJ: i- BaaVTafJBir7Zr?T lit NOTES MEADOWBRCCK K J Try a patch of alfalfa. Gentleness pays best with the colt or horse. There Is a great deal of humanity In axle grease. The pigs and" light porkers should go to market early. The boar should be well fed mt not allowed to get too faL A draft horse should have a large :hest and square shoulders. Soils destitute of humus and nitro gen are impotent to produce clover. Hogs should have clean pastures, beds and water, and a variety of food. Old ewes and poor breeders should be fattened now, and sent to the butcher. Always and with any variety of hens rariety in feed brings the best egg results. Pork production appeals strongly to a man of limited means who desires quick returns. The busy bacteria gets busy In the milk almost at the moment It is drawn from the cow. If too many rich table scraps are fed to tne hens in confinement look out for soft-shelled eggs. Sell to private customers and deliv er on a certain day. Never fail to be there at the appointed time. Many a bunch of promising feeders 50 to the country and return with in dications of being half starved. The fairs give a good opportunity to compare breeds, and farmers should use this opportunity intelligently. The point of keeping the cows clean has been proven to be a saving in feed as well as an increase in milk. It requires two-thirds of a full ra tion to keep a cow in fair condition before there is any milk production. On every farm, where soil and cli matic conditions are favorable, corn should be grown for fodder purposes. Locate vines of bitter-sweet and fruiting grapes, that you wish to move frcm the woods to that porch or arbor next spring. Work horses should be allowed to nin out in the pastures at nights in all weather except during very severe cold 4nd storms. The man who feels that he is bigger than his job is generally mistaken. If ne was he would quickly get a job that would fit him. Homogenized milk is milk treated in such manner as to disrupt the fat glob ules so that they will not rise in the form of cream. The vigorous hen and her rooster will start off a chick that will stand much more wear and tear than im mature or weakly parents. Alfalfa is a lime plant, and a dress ing of 60 bushels of slacked oyster shells or 50 bushels of slacked stone lime to the acre should be given. A simple way of finding out the val ue of each cow is by keeping a daily record of the quality of milk given by each, and testing it at intervals. Humus was intended by nature to create and conserve the fertility of the soil for the production of the ne cessities to conserve the human race. In feeding value silage compares favorably with other crops, although this will vary with the kind of stock and the grain rations with which it is used. If the swine are in the fattening 6tage they should have all they will eat up clean, but growing animals should have just enough to keep them In a thrifty growing condition. If your cow has obstructed teats, be very cautious about inserting, .11: tubes, probes, or quills. Nothing ot the kind should be inserted in a cow's teat, excepting as a last resort; and then only with the most extreme care and cleanliness. 1 Soils that are heavily manured for J cabbage, lettuce, celery and other 1 crops will not need very much manure j the following year, when planted with , tomatoes, peppers and root crops, es pecially if a fair amount of commercial fertilizer is used. A soil well supplied with humus is practically immune from drought and excessively wet seasons, as the soil is easily percolated with any superabund ance of water and also has a greater storage capacity to stand a drought The morning ration of the farm horse should contain about-one fourth of his daily ration. At noon another fourth should be given, and at night the remaining heaviest feed. Most of the hay should be given at night and before the grain Is given. .N. .. I C ??S5- aa.T TJC"ysS?-fr!aSl .AIL laftyaawrAT aw Teach the colt to draw loads by de grees. About ten weeks after shearing dip the Iambs. A horse suffering Cram colic should be kept quiet. Keep sows over that have proved to be good breeders. Keep the ewes In the stable on dry feed for a day or two. The boar should be of good type and character and of pure blood. Blood-meal is better for ducks than meat scraps, and it works Into a mash fine. Persistency in milk flow is enc of the qualities which makes a profitable-' dairy cow. The country fairs are announced. Be, sure not miss them, especially the home one. Poultry cannot be successfully raised without the application of brain and muscles. Be careful about feeding horses in clined to heaves, too much hay, or bay that is dusty. A fowl that will not fatten when heavily fed on corn is not in good physical condition. Extra feed increases the growth ot a proper kind and makes larger ani mals at maturity. If when the hogs are growing fast their hind legs become weak, feed a little bone meal daily. Stop the churn as soon as the but ter granulates if you want to work out all the butter milk. What has become of the old-fash-, ioned farmer who used to keep a sav age dog to catch his hogs? Culling the pullets may seem a small matter to many, but it adds dol lars to the year's profits. A bull tied in the stall will get lazy and useless, besides making extra work in his care and feed. "Use your skim milk. Five pounds of skim milk have been found equal to one pound of grain for pigs. A drove of bogs of all colors and sizes brings as much money as a drove of the same breed, color and size. To obtain a maximum supply of milk, small pastures, allowing frequent changes of feed, should be provided. If a small hatching house is once used, no poultry keeper ever likes to do without its convenience afterward. As a rule, a large flow of milk is associated with a low per cent, of fat, while a small flow shows a higher tesL Sheep are comfort lovers and the man who neglects to provide them with good, dry shelter makes a costly error. When teams are working in the fields water should always be offer ed several times during the working hours. Grinding the grain makes It more digestible, and the more digestible the feed the more milk from a given amount. It is not a common sight at any of the stock yards to see a large drove of hogs from one farm all showing the same breed. Oats, wheat bran, and a litle corn or linsced-mcal is a grain ration that will keep the lambs growing and in good flesh by winter. There should be no hidden, inac cessible places in milk vessels. The seams should be soldered over smoothly inside and out. The egg-producing qualities of the hen, like the butter-making qualities of the cow, will determine the hen's value at the end of the yccr. Veal calves In hot weather will grow better if kept during the day in a dark, cool stable, but the stable must be cleaned out and well ventilated. Except in unusual cases of rush work, the teams should cease work in time to cool off before the dampness and falling temperature of evening. A mixture of barley, corn-meal, wheat bran and roots will put flesh on horses fast. With this, of course, a small quantity of hay should be given. If care is taken to keep the sur face of the silage level, two and one half inches removed daily will be suf ficient to keep the 6ilage from decay ing. A horse with blinders on the public road is about as comfortable as a wom an wearing a poke bonnet walking through a field where a vicious bill is kept. Stable manure comprises valuable humus for the soil, as it adds not only to its porosity and friability, but also contains valuable chemical constitu ents that are natural plant food. Grape boxes should be covered with wooden strips If they are to be ship ped by train. For the local market they can be covered with fly netting to keep insects from injuring them. There are often a few sheep in the flock that bloat with but seemingly little cause, and one does not feel as though he wanted to lose them, and has to resort to vigorous means for relief at once. A tablespoonful of spirits of ammonia put In a pint ot water, slightly wanned, and poured down the sheep will usually relieve Is the first stages.

In this matter of profit and loss nothing plays such an im portant part as the question of feeds and feeding. The natural feed for ani mals, the one on which they do best. is green pasture, in climates subject to frost, man has made the same pro vision or animals as for himself by providing them in winter with canned green fodder called "silage." Silage is made most commonly from corn, cow peas, clover, sorghum, or alfalfa, mere ly chopped fine and stored in large water-tight cans known as "silos." In . V ! .vol 7Z : T?1 -'"Ua'-d'-J J4U Showing Reinforcing. dry weather or in winter, when green pasture cannot be had. this feed is equally good in producing a flow of milk or in putting fat on animals. One acre of a crop harvested as silage will feed twice as much stock as the same amount harvested in any other man ner. Like a glass fruit jar. a silo must be water-tight and jointless to keep the silage from molding or -dry firing." For this reason, and also because no painting or repairing is ever neces sary, solid-wall concrete silos are coming into general use. The best silos are built circular In shape. The size depends upon how many animals are to be fed daily, the quantity in pounds for each animal's daily feed, and the number of days it may be necessary to feed them. The silo should be of such size that a layer of silage at least two inches in depth will be removed each day after feed ing haB begun. This prevents a thin top layer from molding. A dairy cow requires about forty pounds of silage per day, and the following table is based on this amount Forty pounds is also the average weight of a cubic foot of silage. Locate the silo where It will be con venient for feeding. Usually it is Joined to the barn by means of a chute and passageway with doors. Since the silo and its contents are heavy, It must be built on solid ground. The bottom of the foundation should go below frost line. The silo may, with advantage, extend four to five feet into the ground. Dig the pit large enough to allow for the thick ness of the circular walls and a foot ing two feet wide. In order to save lumber the con crete is poured into forms which can be moved up as the concrete sets or becomes hard. These movable forms consist of two circular shells three to four feet high, so made that one fits within the other with space between for a six-inch wall. The horizontal framework consists of 2 by 4 inch tim- Cow Weeding. The removal of weed cows from the herd is doing more for the dairy busi ness than perhaps any other one thing. So profitable has this line of dairy work proved that many dairy men who were about ready to abandon the dairy business have taken a fresh start. But the mere removal of weed cows is not enough. Their places must be taken by better ones. These are easily secured by using pure-bred sires of known milk producing strains. Records show that this line of work is also profitable. More and more dairy men annually are adopting it Some men themselves do the work of weed ing and breeding; others rely upon cow-testing associations. These as sociations cost little and pay well as cow weeders. First-Class Cow. It Is unofficially reported that a Jer sey cow owned by a member of the American Jersey club of New York, In a year's test gave 14.452 pounds of milk. The average dally was 39 6-10 pounds of milk and 2 pounds and 1-7 ou ices of butter. SJSpRCIIMF'ORCIMO- t, ill , fr.l:.l Concrete Silo. bers cut to a circle, which are covi ered with sheet metal or wooden lag ging. Each piece must be long enough to provide for a six-foot three inch length of the circumference of the circle as well as several inches for the lap or strap joints. The forms are raised by loosening them at the joints and setting them up again on the fin ished section of the silo. Concrete for silos should be rich in Portland cement and should be put into the forms mushy wet. Mix It one part cement to two parts sand to four parts crushed rock. Four parts of clean pit or bank-run gravel may be used instead of the sand and rock. Measure all materials on the basis that one bag of cement equals one cubic foot Many persons raise the concrete in buckets, but the work can be done more quickly and easily by using a horse together with a der rick or a well braced jib-boom fixed to an adjoining building. The first cost of concrete silos may or may not be greater than that of the, best of any other kind. The time is now at hand when farmers, like rail roads and corporations, are consider ing the lasting qualities of buildings. Concrete silos need no Insurance; they do not blow down or burn up. They never have to be painted or re paired. With other kinds of silos dur ing their short lives these expenses alone equal the first cost. Concrete lasts forever. COMBINED TOOL HANDY 0W FARM Scoop Dctadiably Connected and Has Grooves for Tines Advantages are Easily Seen. A combination implement that is handy for farm and stable use has been designed by a man in the state of Washington. It is a fork and shovel combined, and its advantage is that it takes up no more room than one of these tools and can quickly be turned from one into the other. The basic implement is a fork, and the shovel portion is adjustably connected. In the head of the scoop are holes through which the tines of the fork pass when the scoop is to be attached, and across the bottom is a metal strip with a series of longitudinal grooves. Fork and Shovel in One. through which the tines also pass and which serves to bold the shovel firmly in position. The usefulness of such a tool can readily be understood. In a case where a man has both shovel ing and forking to do, as around a barnyard, he can accomplish the work by a quick transformation of this de vice Instead of having to go and get a different implement every once in a while.

The Kansas department of agricul ture wants to establish a bureau to Inspect grain feed, seed and hay with the purpose of raising the standard on these commodities Chicago and St. Louis already have such bureaus. Best Root Crops. Swedes, carrots and mangels fur nlsh the best root crops for sheep feeding, but they are more adapted to winter feeding, as their succulence supplements dry hay and grain. Summer Shelter for Hogs. It Is a good plan to provide summer skelter for the hogs on a high spot, where the wind will have a full sweep. m Mv4iSiSUiM m TOMMY MURPHY, The great horseman who Is winning most or the bis races for fast trotters with that farm horse.
