WHERE DOCTORS FAIL ToCure Woman’s Ils, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pee Succeeds. Mrs. Pauline udson Writes : “Dear Mrs. Pinknam:—Soon after my marrii two years ago I found myself in constant pain. The doctor said my womb was turned, and this caused the pain with considerable in- flammation. He prescribed for me for MRS. PAULINE JUDSON, Secretary of Schermerhorn Golf Cl Brooklyn, New York. n: four months, when my husband became impatient because I grew worse instead of better, and in speaking to the drug- gs he advised him to get Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wash. How I wish I had taken that at first; it would have saved me weeks of suffering. It took three long months to restore me, but it isa happy relief, and we are both most grateful to you. Your Compound has brought joy to our home and health to me.”— Mrs. PAULINE Jupson, 47 Hoyt Street, Brooklyn, N. Y.— #5000 forfelt if above testimonial fe net genuine. It would seem by this state- ment that women would save time and much sickness if they would get Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound at once, and also write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., for special ade vice. It is free and always helps. Castor Oil for Rubber Plants. An expert in the care of house plants says that rubber plants need nourish- ment, and advises pouring a tablespoon- ful of castor oil occasionally into a little trench that should be made around the stalk. Afterwards cover it with dirt. This care will be repaid in increased growth and beauty of the leaves. SALZER’S LIGHTNING CABBAGE.

A communication from the Iowa Ag- ricultural College says: That the prac- tical man is beginning to appreciate the value of an agricultural education and the work of the agricultural col- lege was never better demonstrated than it was during the present month at the Iowa Agricultural College. Dur- ing the two weeks from January 6th to 18th over four hundred people, repre- senting almost every county in Iowa and all the surrounding states, attend- ed the special short course in stock and grain judging. They constituted a re- markable class. Men of all ages were present. Graduates of Chicago, Llli- nois, Yale, Minnesota and Iowa univer- sities, Kansas and North Dakota agri- cultural colleges and several of the de- nominational colleges worked earnest- ly with the man who had no other edu- cation than that acquired in the rural school and that most expensive insti- tution, the school of experience. A most faithful lot they were, always on the alert to learn something. In addi- tion to the regular corps of instruction the following well-known authorities were present and aided very materially the nature of the work done: Prof. P. G. Holden, Pekin Il, formerly profes- sor of agronomy, University of Illinois, on grain judging; Alex. Galbraith, Janesville, Wis., on heavy horses; Wm. Dobson, Marion, Ia., on light horses; John Gosling, Kansas City, Mo. and Wm. Wynes and Emil Ingwersen, Un- ion Stock Yards, Chicago, on beef cat- tle; Hon, A. J. Lovejoy, Roscoe, Ill., and Geo. Heyl, Washington, Ill., on swine. Three days were devoted each to the judging of horses, cattle, sheep and swine. Excellent material was pro- vided throughout for the class work. The college herds of cattle and sheep furnished abundance of good stock for that work, while in addition to the college swine herds many breeders sent in excellent animals. It was in the horse work, however, where quality reigned supreme. ‘The Poor Man's Apple. Prof. 8. Goff in a communication to the Wisconsin Horticulturist, says: “We Wisconsin people have been very free to denounce the Ben Davis apple because of its lack of good quality, and yet what would we have done this sea- son without the Ben Davis? Probably three-fourths of the apples that have came to the Madison market since No- vember have been of this variety; and only this variety has been sold at a price that a poor man could afford to pay. And with the exception of a very few apples of other varieties that have sold at the rate of above seven dollars per barrel, I have been able to find no apples good of their kind except the stigmatized Ben Davis. There is an old proverb—“Speak well of the bridge that carries you safely over’’—that will apply pretty well here. Whatever may be said against the Ben Davis it “ge there,” and we can have apples when, except for it, most of us would havg ty to sasent this fourth-rate apple, 1 bivé mi3e+ Bequaimtance better than ever before, and must confess thas my contempt for it has not increased with familiarity. At its best, its quality will hold its own with most north- western apples. It is fine-grained, tender when ripe, and what flavor it has is appleish. It lacks juice, which may be the secret of its good keeping. Its skin is thinner than in some other varieties that rank much higher as dessert apples. It is not much given to scab—and has that prime requisite of success, good looks. Of course the Ben Davis is not a Wisconsin apple, either by birth or adoption, and it nev- er can be, but until we can offer some- thing better, why should we condemn it?” Treatment for Cabbage Root Maccots. In 1880 A. J. Cook began to experi- ment with carbon bisulphide as a rem- edy for the root maggots of cabbages. His success was such that he soon be- gan to recommend it for general use. Whether it succeeds or not depends very largely on the character of the soil. Sometimes the remedy is ap- plied too late to be of much, if any, use. A man must know how to ap- ply the chemical. The point is not to get the liquid on the plant, but only the gas arising from the liquid. This gas is produced in great quantities, as the liquid volatizes rapidly. No amount of this vapor will harm the roots of the plant, at least no amount that is likely to work its way through the soil. This gas is deadly to the maggots. In some cases reports of failures have come due to the remedy being applied only after the plants have become badly wilted on account of the attacks of these insects. In such cases the death of the plants is due to the maggots and not to the bi- sulpide as some may suppose. Mr. M..V. Slingerland of the Cornell Ex- periment station investigated the sub- ject in 1894 and his experiments dem- onstrated that when properly applied the substance was sure death to the in- sects and did not injure the plants, Our Exports of Cheese Small, The quantity of cheese exported from the United States in 1901 showed a de- crease, as compared with like exports in 1870, of over 30 per cent; the quan- tity exported from Canada, on the oth- er hand, showed the remarkable in- crease, as compared with.1870, of over 3,000-per cent. Moreover, the condi- tions of the export trade in this prod- uct in the United States in late years show little indications of improvement, the exports fn 1901 having reached a lower point, excepting those of 1395 and 1899, than at any like period in thirty years. The fruit grower of to-day must haye the ability of adapting himself to new methods, new frults and new markets. A Revolutionary Age. Soulless corporations, heartless co- quettes, conscienceless rascals of vari- ous sorts we ave had with us now these many years, and it looks very mweh now as if a kind of Providence ‘was about to even things up a little by providing us with such useful contriv- ances as wireless telegraphy. heatless light, smokeless powder, boneless shad and seedless oranges.

Boost for Woman’s Rights. Woman's rights got a big boost out in Montana the other day, when a judge declared that it didn’t matter whether a wif? was earning more mon- ey than her hustand or not—when she demanded divorce she was to get all- mony just the same. The only trouble was that the juige added that it served a man right, anyway, for getting mar- ried. And yet they talk about woman’s being jillogical! The most strenuous suffragists wouli never say that any- thing gerved a man right for getting married; neither would she assert wo- man’s “right” both to her own earn- ings and to the srpport of her divorced husband. If the woman in this partic- ular case made such demands, some male lawyer put her up to it.—-New York Evening Sun. A Ranchman’s Experience. Lea, S. Dak., March 34.—Wm. H.

EUREKA CHEMIC. and ever beneficial action. fien of Attairs One may sail the seas and visit every land and everywhere will find, that men of affairs, who are well informed, have neither the time nor the inclination, whether on pleasure bent or business, to use those medicines which cause excessive purgation and then leave the internal organs in a constipated condition. Syrup of Figs is not built on those lines. It acts naturally, acts effectively, cleanses, sweetens and strengthens the internal organs and leaves them in a healthy condition. If in need of a laxative remedy the most excellent is Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is required the safe and scientific plan is to consult a competent physician and not to resort to those medicines which claim to cure all manner of diseases. The California Fig Syrup Co. was the first to manufacture a laxative remedy which would give satisfaction to all; sanction and one friend recommend to another ; so that today its sales probably exceed all other laxatives combined. In some places considerable quantities of old-time cathartics and modern imitations are still sold, but with the general diffusion of knowledge, as to the best medicinal agents, Syrup of Figs has come into general uee with the well-informed, because it is a remedy of known value EUREKA At all ERA ic ‘iL "Co. from us.
