Mrs. Emmons, saved from an operation for Ovaritis, tells how she was cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “‘T am so pleased with the results I obtained from Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Conpound that I feel it a duty and a privilege to write you about it. ““T suffered for over five years with ovarian troubles, causing an un- pleasant discharge, a great weakness, and at times a faintness would come over me which no amount of medicine, diet, or exercise seemed to correct. Your Vegetable Compound found the weak spot, however, within a few weeks—and saved me from an operation —all my troubles had dis- appeared, and I found myself once more healthy and well. Words fail to describe the real, true grateful feeling that is in my heart, and I want to tell every sick and suffering sister. Don’t dally with medicines you know noth- ing about, but take Lydia E.

Business Stagnation in Christiania and Copenhagen Is Serious. A mass meeting of the unemployed of Christiania was held Dec. 4, for the purpose of taking some concerted ac- tion in their own behalf. The attend- ance was regretfully large. Acom- mittee was appointed to wait upon the city government with a petition for extensive public works. The city is to to be asked to provide means for se- curing food supplies at the lowest price and to secure transportation. for those who sought work out of town. The committee was also instructed to petition the storthing to increase the building of railways, to loan mon- ey to the poor through their respective labor unions, and to provide free fare on the government railways and steam- ships to those compelled to travel in search of work. The industrial stagnation in Copen- hagen has also had serious conse- quences. The conditions were intens!}- fied by the early winter coming on, as it did, a month in advance of the usual time, with such severity as to stop all building operations. The distress in the labor world has hardly been more’ serious. OPEN AIR MUSEUMS. The Plan Gains In Favor Among the Scandinavians. F; Scandinavian countries rather excel their neighbors in the matter of open air museums .There is nothing which can puite compare with Skansen in are growing in other places. At ancient Lund, of cathedral and university fame, Sweden has succeed- ed in forming an open air museum, on a much smaller scale, but charming and very complete, within the scope of its carefully-thought-out and well- balanced plan, The old buildings, which now ornament the site of the museum are all original—quite origin- al, even to the bricks of the burgher’s house; and they have been very hap- pily placed, in spite of the somewhat limited area. Each forms a perfect old time picture. The old Belking farmstead for instance, with the cro*<- ed elder trees against the wall, the old uneven pavement, the old bee hives, the cow and the goats; or, better still, the venerable Bosebo church, standing as it did at Bosebo, within a month or two of its re-erection within tl grounds of the Lund museum. The museum was no doubt singulary lucky in securing its old edifice. GREAT RESOURCES. A Lecturer at Stockholm Says Sweden Could Support 100,000,000. Director E. G. Odelstjerna, in a lec- ture recently delivered in Stockholm, made the assertion that if the natural resources of Sweden were properly ap- plied they could support a population of 100,000,000, instead of 5,000,000, the present number of her inhabitants. Forestry was neglected, he declared. Lumbering, was carried on with little intelligence. Every waterfall of the thousands could be developed and made to produce power for the rail- ways and for industrial plants. The immense deposits of peat, a source ot great wealth, were scarcely touched. Mining was all but neglected by the Swedes, while English and German capital earned big profits in Sweden. Finally, the agricultural conditions could be greatly improved by the use} of manures, which, in the form of lime, were to be had in inexhaustible quantities. Even with a population of 100,000,- 000, Sweden would not be as thickly populated as Belgium . BISHOP ABSATON STATUE. Program of Unveiling Was Abandoned at the Last Moment. The ceremonies of the unveiling of the equestrian statue of Bishop Absa- ton, the famous warrior and priest who founded Copenhagen, became almost a fiasco. Prof. George Brandes, the dis- tinguished Danish litterateur, had been secured to deliver the principal ad- dress. At almost the last moment, there was so much criticism over the selection of a Jew to deliver the ad- dress on the occasion of raising a monument to a Christian bishop, that the program was abandoned, and it was then too late to secure a substi- tute. “Tilsqueren, a monthly review, se- cured a copy of Prof. Brandes’ oration and published it in full. It is a mas- terly effort from a literary standpoint, and it seems a pity that the original plan was not carried out. MEDDLE WITH COURTS. Senate of Finland Issues an Order Un- der Pressure From Russia. The senate of Finland, under pres- sue from Gov. Gen. Bobrikoff, has is- sued an order forbidding the summon- ing of any person of orthodox confes- sion before a Finnish court on an or- thodox church holiday. The Finns re- gard this as an extreme concession to a small majority of the population, numbering, in 1899, only 49,000 in a to- tal of 2,673,000. It is feared that the new measure will greatly facilitate dil- iatory practices in the courts and in- terfere with their work. f Lieut. Col. Normann died in Bergen as the result of burns. His room was in flames, and the old veteran of nine- ty-one years was too feeble to take flight, and was rescued just in the nick of time. He died the next day, how- ever. Denmark’s trade with England will show a great increase for 1902. The exports for the month of November consisted largely of butter, eggs and other provisiong, valued at 19,000,000 kroner. The increase ‘for eleven months is about 16,500,000 kroner. A Problem in Beef Production. Prof. W. J. Kennedy of the Iowa Agricultural College ‘said recently: In the past no branch of live stock, save the fat hog, has been so gen- erally handled throughout this state as has beef cattle. lIowa’s natural conditions have been most: favorable and have done much towards making her the greatest breeding and feeding center of the central west. Her vir- gin soil was well adapted to the production of corn and the growth of blue grass pasture, the two things which when combined, have no equal for economical production of beef of the very best quality. Then she is situated between the range territory where so many cattle are grown and the leading cattle market of the world. These conditions have been of untold value to the Iowa farmer. Notwith- standing these advantages, in many sections of this state farmers who formerly reared and fed cattle for the market are no longer engaged in the business. They claim that with land selling in the neighborhood of one hundred dollars per acre it is too valuable to carry stock on, When land was cheap they reared their own cattle, when land advanced in price to fifty or sixty dollars per acre they changed their business and became cattle feeders, but now since land has made such marked advances in value they afe compelled to go out of the business. We are glad to note, how- ever, that we have a great many very sucessful beef producers. Men who reared cattle when land was cheap, when land advanced, and who are still successfully and profitably rearing and 4nishing cattle which, when consigne¢é © market, always command the very ep price. We have had and are likely to have for some time to come two classes 01 4en engaged in the beef cattle busi ness. The first class, which at one time was much the larger of the two, might be called the “beef grower.” He reared his own calves, fed and finished them for the market. To the second class belongs that now largé number who might be termed “cattle feeders.” They do not pretend to rear their own cattle as during a part of the year they have no'cattle what ever on the farm. They buy their feeders from the ranges or from the small farmer who rears a few calves each year. Breeders of Shire Horses Meet. At the annual business meeting at the Sherman House, twenty-five mem- bers of the association were present. J. C. Trueman presided and Secre tary Charles Burgess looked after the records of the meeting. The report of the secretary showed that the as sociation had expended $756 for prizea at the exposition? There had been a direct cash appropriation of $500, besides other money for gold medals, ete. The rule admitting the registra tion of stallions having five top cross es and mares having four top crosses in each case by sires recorded in the American Shire stud book, was strick en out by an unanimous vote. Since the last annual meeting twenty new members have been admitted. The association is in a flourishing condi. tion and business {is reported good from every quarter. Discussing, the Shire horse, Mr. Rollins of Illinois stated that he was the great drafi horse of England and in his own ex perience excelled all other breeds for heavy purposes. Mr. Finch, who has had considerable experience with draft horses in the Chicago market finds that the English buyer gives @ strong preference to the Shire horse. Mr. Sullivan said that the best horse he had sold this season was a Shire He was opposed to cappers organizing a company of farmers to purchase a stallion and then holding up the im porter for one-half the price for nego tiating a sale. No officers were elected the present officials and committees holding over until the annual meeting in 1903. ; The Calf vs. Older Steer. There are cattle that a feeder can: not pay too much for, if he keeps within the bounds of reason, and there are other cattle that cannot be bought low enough to make money, The first are well-bred, well-developed Hereford calves, and scarce; the oth ers are scrubs, or stunted low grades of other breeds, and plentiful. The ma jority of American feeders make na money feeding cattle, and they come put ahead only when they rear thelr own hogs to fatten on the offal of th cattle, or when the corn they feed is seventy-five of their own raising. If the average Twenty-four who has his own corn were to} Slight damage; the greatest amount d of damage is reported from the cen- ; feeder ascertain accurately what is nette nim per bushel when marketed through cattle, not counting the hogs that follow, he would find that in most cases it does not exceed fifteen cen!

From Farmers’ Review: The as- tonishing demand for farm land dur- ing the past few years has produced great activity towards improving Swamp and marsh land. What we once considered worthless peat marsh- es, are now by the aid of the spade and dredge being converted into tilla- ble farms. All down the eastern part of Illinois and northwestern part of Indiana are hundreds of acres of this sort of territory that is undergoing transformation. This land, after be- ing drained, is of a black fertile col- ;9T and is in a loose friable condition with all the appearance of great crop producing ability. But from some quarters we hear complaints that land of similar composition belies its ap- pearance by producing grain of infe- rior quality. Corn grows to an amaz- ing height, producing a great yield of stover, but an unsatisfactory amount of ears, of which an unprofitable per- centage are “nubbins.” Oats on the same soils make a wonderful growth, and a few weeks prior to the harvest, one, judging from their appearance, would estimate the yield at from 60 to 100 bushels per acre. But just before harvest the oats become "straw fallen,” lodge and otherwise make tedious work for the binder. A close inspection reveals short heads with grain that is inclined to be chaffy, and the yield below our estimate one-half. These tracts are not confined to In- diana and Illinois. In every state can be found tracts of this unproductive black lands, varying from a few square rods to hundreds of acres. It is well known as “bogus” land, some- times incorrectly called “alkali,” for it has none of the real characteristics of alkali soil. While this soil is ma- terially improved by drainage, a chem- ical analysis shows it to be abnor- mally rich in nitrogen, due to the large amount of partially decomposed organic matter. In fact, in some areas organic matter makes up the greater part of the material. An analy- sis of this soil shows it to contain over 2 per cent nitrogen, 4% per cent phos- phoric acid, but only 1-10 per cent of potash. The uninitiated often think com- mercial plant food is to be used only on worn and exhausted lands, and to fertilize black soil is extravagant and foolish. Yet experiments made at dif- ferent agricultural experiment sta- tions show that the great salvation for these soils is kainit. Kainit is a crude potash,: containing 12 per cent actual potash, chloride’ magnesia and chloride sodium, and seems to be a natural mixture to correct the irregularities, of this soil. This should be applied in liberal amounts. Nine years ago the Indiana station in its experimental work on such soil used a ton of kainit per acre, and the good effect can still be noted. | It need not generally be applied in such large amounts, but in the above mentioned experiment, land that pro- duced practically nothing, gave an av- erage yield of 54 bushels of corn per acre for four years. The kainit cost $20 in Indiana, delivered and distrib- uted and the returns for the first four years was $76.80. In the case of | small areas of unproductive soil in the field, it is the custom of farmers to plow and plant these patches the same as the productive parts of the field. The treatment of these tracts with kainit will render the labor applied to these places effective. While lime can sometimes be used to an advantage on raw muck land, it does not seem to mix readily with this bogus land— D. L Duncan. Hessian Fly in Indiana. Prof. Troop, of the Indiana Experi- ment Station, in a bulletin to the press, says: Responses have been re- ceived from 185 correspondents to date representing eighty-six counties. | Of these seventy-three counties report the fly as doing more or less damage. Thirteen counties report no fly, which may or may not be true, as it has frequently happened that one man has reported no fly and another man liv- ing in another section of the county has reported it as doing considerable damage. Those counties reporting no fly are Lake, Allen, Whitley, Jasper, Newton, Blackford, Warren, Vermil- ion, Owen, Sullivan, Knox, Starke and Scott. Those which have not reported at all are Elkhart, Wells, Adams, | Bartholomew, Jefferson and Pike.
