Another Operation Avoided. Chicago, Ill.— “I want women to know what that wonderful medicine, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound. has done for me. Two of the st doctors in Chicago said I would die if I did not have an operation, and I never thought of seeing a well day again. I hada small tumor and female troubles so that I suffered day and night. A friend recommended Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and it made me a well woman.”—Mrs. ALVENA SPERLING, 11 Langdon St., Chicago, Ill. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com. pound, made from roots and herbs, as proved to be the most successful remedy for curing the worst forms of female ills, including displacements, inflammation, fibroid tumors, irregu- larities, periodic pains, backache, bear- ing-down feeling, flatulency, indiges- tion, andnervous prostration. Itcosts but a trifle to try it, and the result has been worth millions to many suffering wemen, Goats Cut Trails For Fire Guards. Van Norden Magazine. There may be some doubt of the truth of the oft-repeated story that a * goat will thrive on a tin can diet but that it grows fat and frisky on brush and small trees—bark and trunks—is being proved every day on the Las- sen Forest Preserve in California. Three thousand of the Angora variety are busily engaged in cutting trails for fire guards through the thick un- dergrowth on the slopes of the moun- tains out there and they eat as they work. (The industrious animals have been divided into two bands and are grazed under the care of herders within certain well-defined areas. They have practically killed all the brush in the course marked out eith- er by eating it all, or barking, as in the case of heavy manzanita bushes. When these animals, have finished a job, and which mere man would not have done half so thoroughly, and for which he would have charged a good many dollars, they are in excellent condition and worth far more in the market than when they began. The Road to Success has many obstructions, but none so desperate as poor health, but Electric Bitters isthe greatest health builder the world has ever known.

Once upon atime, says Secretary of State Roach, editor of the Carthage Democrat, a man got mad at the edit- or and stopped the paper. The next week he sold his corn 4 cents below market price. Then his property oe was sold for taxes because he didn’t BS read the trustee’s sale. He was = arrested and fined $8 for hunt- % ing on Sunday, and pai fora . lot of f notes that had been ad- ie vertised two Weeks and the public & cautioned not to ni te them.

How can any’ man sleep well at night when he has scolded and whip- ped his horses all day. Beginning to think about your wood-pile? That's right. Cold nights make us creep up about the stove. Enough dry wood and chips to last a week ahead is riches; fire out and the last stick gone is poverty. If you tell a boy, day after day, that he isn’t earning his salt, he will soon be likely to work down to that estimate. If the soil needs underdraining, now is an excellent time to lay the tiles. They should beat least two and a half feet deep. Don’t give the cats and dogs stale, dirty or soapy water to drink. See that it is clean and fresh. You know how it is yourself. It pays better to be behind every” body else in getting fall grain sowed, jand thus have the ground well stir- red, than to hog over it and have it half done. Money spent on booze. is wasted, spent on clothes is vanity, spent on food is gone, and fooled away is wicked, but money spent for seed or a fruit tree is wisely invested. The patrons along a rural route are apt to expect too much from the car- rier. It would be a great help to the farmer to apply to the government for a copy of the postal laws in refer- ence to the regulation of rural car- riers. Are you planning to build a new house this fall? Don’t make it too large. Many houses are so large that the women folks are kept scrubbing agood share of the time. Large enough for all practical purposes, but no larger, should be the rule. In an address on the subject of corn, Professor Beal remarked that the top-most ear was the best for seed; of two fields, one planted with seed taken at random and the other selected in the field, the latter yielded as.much again as the former. If rye is sowed this fallas a green manure for potatoes next season, I believe it would be better to plow it under next spring after it gets a good |start and not wait till it gets tall. | Then the rye will rot better before planting time and you -will get more good from it. Keeping cabbages: Select a dry place in the patch, pull up the cab- bages and stand closely together, heads down. Cover with soil from five to ten inches, thinly at first so they will not heat, covering only enough to prevent freezing as the season advances. The burying beds may be made from four to six feet wide. The following method will appeal to every farmer as the easiest, quick- est and least expensive plan for stor- ing all kinds of fruit and vegetables, from a potato toa pumpkin: Arrange the fruit or vegetables in a long row, as high and as wide as would seem advisable. Spread a little hay over them, and set up fodder on each side to the desired thickness—say, three or four feet. This affords excellent protection from ordinary cold; and in the case of pumpkin, turnip or cab- |.bage storage, or any other article fed to stock, you have the means at hand with which to form a most desirable balanced ration as you feed out the corn and fodder. This method will prove especially valuable to renters. and others who are compelled to move early in the spring, when it would be extremely unhandy to chop through the frozen ground, and ‘fish out”’ fruit or vegetables from the old- fashioned “‘hole”’ or pit.—From Octo- ber Farm Journal. = No One in Butler Who Has a Bad Back Can Ignore This Double Proof.

Miss Ruby Owen gave a shower party at her home Saturday night in honor of Miss Leah Hudelson. Only a few of the young lady friends of the young lady were invited. It was a very enjoyable social affair and a fit- ting tribute to the young lady in whose honor it was given. Jake Waldrip, the boy, who had his leg crushed by the cars some time ago, was taken to Arkansas by a cousin who will give him a home and send him to school. It is hoped that the boy will take advantage of this splendid opportunity to get an educa- tion and try to become a useful cit- izen. The well drilled at the school house proved a successful venture. A strong vein of water flows into the well and itis said to be soft. This solves a perplexing problem. The cistern plan was never a complete success.

It was like robing in the livery of the angels to serve the devil. The editor was worse beat when he tried to cook the chicken they left. After cooking it for a week it was so tough that we sold the gravy toa local cobbler for sole leather. Yes, we were swindled on the deal and if we get a chance we will put a spider his Limburger in skunk oil—even that would leave us in the hole 49c in cash besides our injured feelings. A large number of Adrian people attended the fairat Butler. The gen- eral verdict was that the fair was a success throughout. And this is an verdict.
