Sryeer,104 Hudson Ave., Rochester, N. ¥., writes to Mrs, Pinkham as follows: “When I applied to you for advice I had been suffering some years from de- | bility, nervousness, etc. I had had several miscarriages and was pregnant When I wrote to you “4 m grateful to say that after taking three bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound I was considerably better, and after using three more it brought me where I am to-day. Iam well, and the mother of a three- months’ old baby. “Doctors had failed to help me. I have no one to thank but Mrs, Pinkham and her won- derful remedy.” Mrs. ELLA DuNnGAN, Reeder’s Mills, Iowa, writes: “Dear Mrs, PINKE. I thank you for what your medicine and advice have done for me. *Thave a Baby two months old. When he was born I was sick only fifteen minutes, ereas with my other children I was sick for two or three days, and also suffered with my left leg, and could get nothing to relieve the pain but morphine. My leg did not trouble me at all this time. I had no after pains and was not as weak as I had been before. “IT cannot praise Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound too highly. May God bless you in your noble work.” ‘Mrs. J. W. Pruett, Medford, Oregon, says: “My health, also the baby’s, we owe to ia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.” Mrs. Joun W. Lone, Wyoming, Iowa, writes: “Thad shooting pains all over my body, was very weak and nervous. I could not straighten up. I wished to become a mother but was afraid I never could. Seventeen months ago I got some of your Vegetable Compound, and after taking half a bottle was much re- lieved. I took four bottles and was cured. Now I have a big baby boy which i feel I owe to your Compound. Many thanks for your kind advice.” A Million Women Have Been Benefited by Mrs. Pinkham’s Advice and Medicine a PIMPLES “My wife had pimples on her face, but she has been talcing ‘ASCARETS and they have all disappeared.

A glance showed H that the animals were not in good con- dition; that they were, in fact, in a fair ; way to demonstrate that the owner | was a victim of hard luck (?) in his hog ' department. They were being fed corn and slops from the house, says the Farm, Stock and Home. Constipation, poor digestion and other disorders were indicated by a certain dull, spir- itless appearance, a want of thrift, and other conditions. Growing hard by the i pen was a mass of pig weed and rag | weed. A liberal bunch of the first | | was gathered and thrown into the pen. Sow and pigs immediately tumbled | over each other to get_at it, and ate it ravenously. Some rag weed was , then supplied, and that was rushed for | with still greater haste and eaten with greater relish, The last is a bitter weed, but it is a tonic and appetizer, something that the pigs demand to} correct the vices of a purely artificial diet, such as they were getting. Nature had supplied the demand, but a fence had kept the pigs from it, and ignor- ance of its value had kept it from the pigs. It was learned that no salt was , given to these pigs, another bringer of “bad luck,” for hogs demand salt as }humans do. The owner of these pigs received a valuable object lesson, and may it not be a pointer to others? Con- | fined pigs must have soft, green, suc- culent food if their owner expects to escape ‘bad luck.” Value of Barnyard Manure. A year ago the Ohio Experiment Station began a comparative test be- tween cow manure, taken directly from the stable to the field in the spring, and manure of thé same sort which had been allowed to lie in the open yard during the winter. The plan of the experiment is to apply both kinds of manure to land intended for corn, plow under at a shallow depth, and follow the corn with wheat and clover, without any further manuring. Four duplicate plots are treated with | each kind of manure, applied at the | rate of eight tons per acre, the treat- ment for each pair of plots being ex- actly alike in all other respects. The result thus far is that the corn of 1897 gave an increase of thirteen bushels | per acre from the yard manure against sixteen bushels from the stall manure, and the wheat crop following has given an increase of ten bushels per acre for the yard manure, against eleven bushels from the stall manure. | Valuing the corn at thirty-three cents | and the wheat at eighty cents per | bushel and the straw and stover at three dollars per ton, the increase from the yard manure in the two crops has amounted to fifteen dollars per acre, and that from the stall manure | to seventeen dollars, an average of two dollars per ton for the manure, with further effect probable on suc- ceeding crops. The experiment is not yet quite fair to the stall manure, be- cause the latter has been taken from bulls which had but little grain, whereas the yard manure was from cows that had been much more liber- | ally fed. \ Hogs in Small Lots. It is neither profitable nor always entirely safe to keep great numbers of hogs together, says American Cultiva- tor. Besides the lability to disease getting among them, there is always a certainty that the stronger will crowd the weaker from their feeding places, so that the inequality in size will in- crease instead of decrease. In every litter there are always one or two weaklings that were born runts, and | unless given a better chance than their fellows they will always remain runts. The best way to manage this is when the pigs are seven or eight weeks old, take out the stronger ones and wean them, giving them plenty of the best food that can be got to make growth. | Then the runts left to suckle the sow alone will in two or three weeks more take a start that may make them as: good as the others, so that in Jater life all can be fed together. No other feed without the sow’s milk will do this, though such other feed should be giv- ! en and the pigs be encouraged to eat , all they can be made to eat. Raising Trotters. It is all right for the farmer to raise | a winning trotter if he can do so, but it is unwise for him to breed with that | solely in view, says an exchange, Even those who are devoting themselves | solely to that industry make many misfits. Records are being reduced every season but yet the record break- ers are so exceedingly few in number that the ordinary farmer will make | more money in buying lottery tickets than in trying to produce record breakers. Yet speed for roadsters and coackers has a value, for even though speed itself be not so highly valued, the conformation to which it belongs is that which gives an easy, graceful movement, without friction, which is so highly appreciated in the horse whose uses are for pleasure or fash- | ion. Breed partly for that, but breed to a horse with plenty of size, style and action, a well formed, trotting bred horse. i t Potatoes in Cold Storage.—The idea | method of keeping seed potatoes is in | cold storage. Potatoes thus kept at the | Ohio station have come out sound ! and fresh, with no indication of sprouting and the vitality unimpaired, | even so late as the first of June. It is important, however, that the tempera- ture of the cold storage room should not fall below 35 degrees, nor should it rise much above 40 degrees. When cold storage is not available, sprout- ing may be in some measure prevented py shoveling the potatoes over fre- quently. | | ‘The office never has to seek the man j on pay day. THE MAJOR’S EXPERIENCE. From the Detroit Free Press. Ons of the staunchest supporters of the deep-water way from the Great Lakes to the ocean is Major A. C, Bishop, of 715 Third Ave., Detroit, a civil engineer of wide experience and considerable promi- nence in his profession. He was assistant engineer on the Hudson River Railroad in 1850 and has since conducted large engin- eering operations. He has been located in Detroit since 1815, and has a large acquain- tance among the business men and citizens of this city. Two years ago, for the first time, Major Bishop was in the hospital. Fortwomonths he had the best of medical attendance but when he was discharged he was not like the Major Bishop of old. When asked regard- ing his health, he said: ‘When I had my last spell of sickness and came out of the hospital Iwas a sorry sight, I could not gain my strength, and could not walk over a block for several weeks. “T noticed some articles in the newspapers re- gardi: Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, which convinced me that they were worth trying and boughttwo boxes.

Huu, Jr., Notary Public, The pure, powerful vegetable ingredients in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People supply the antidote for poisonous matter in the blood and add those elements needed to build up body and brains. Many diseases long supposed by the medical profession to be incurable have succumbed to the potent influence of these pills. They can be taken by young or old, being harmless in their nature,yet powerful in eliminating disease. Base Ingratitude. “Some men are ungrateful wretch- es.” “Why?” “When I was passing old Rocking- ham’s packing house the other night, I saw that it was on fire, so I broke in- to the office, called him up by tele- phone, and told him about it.” “Well, he called me all kinds of hard names for not ringing in a fire alarm instead of, wasting time talking to him.”—Chicago News. “Well?” : | Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way tocure deafness, and that is by consti- tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed ‘ou have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear- ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces. ‘We wi i give One Hundred Dollars for any caso of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
