If you had seen me a year ago, before I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and had noticed the sunken eyes, sallow complexion, and general emaciated condition, and com- pared that person with me as I am to- day, robust, hearty and well, you would not wonder that I feel thankful to you and your wonderful medicine, which restored me to new life and health in five months, and saved me from an awful operation.”— Miss IRENE Hapcoop, 1022 Sandwich St. Windsor, Ont. — $5000 forfeit If original of above letter proving genuineness cannot be produced. Ovaritis or inflammation of the ovaries or fallopian tubes which adjoin the ovaries may result from sudden stopping of the monthly flow, from inflammation of the womb, and many other causes.

Coal’ Rust. There has recently been a number of experiments made to find a fuel which should be not only much clean- er than coal, but which should also increase the number of heat units for a given bulk of material, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger. The ele- ments of cost of manufacture and shipment must also enter into all these calculations, so that what will meet requirements in one locality is totally unfitted for another. To pre- vent the waste of the sawdust from the large mills which are cutting down our forests a sawdust and petroleum briquette has been produced, and other seemingly waste products have been combined with chemicals to fit them for use as fuel. Thus the im- mense piles of culm dust to be seen around the mouths of the coal mines have come in for their share of at- tention. One of the newest chemical combinations which utilizes this ma- terial in large proportion comes from Kentucky and consists in melting res- in and oi] together until they fuse, adding to this while the mass is heat- ed to 150 degrees Fahrenheit diluted sulphuric acid. The resulting com- pound is combined with a mixture of coal dust and black oxide of mangan- ese, which has been heated for about an hour at a temperature of 200 de- grees. This whole mass is then sub- jected to pressure to compress it into bricks of any desired shape and size. Filler for Fountain Pens. Lyman Fisk of Woodcliffe, New York, has invented a convenient de- vice for filling fountain pens. There are two pipes whch lead from the source of supply io the pen, one to carry the ink and she other to feed air into the bottle to relieve the vacuum caused by the removal of the ink. As the air to supply this vacuum is taken from inside the pen reservoir, it is obvious that when the ink has risen to a certain height a return flow of the ink will supplant the movement of air, continuing as long as ink is pumped from one holder to the other. A Plan for Heating Trains. Considerable difficulty has been ex~ perienced in heating long trains of railway cars in Europe owing to the condensation of the steam and to the presence of water in the pipes. By a system devised by M. Lancrenon and about to be installed on the Eastern railway of France this is obviated by employing compressed air, which is mixed with the steam, and carries along any condensed water to suitable traps. The condensed air also en- ables smaller pipes to be used, and where ten or twelve cars were for- merly the limit, now twenty or more can be heated satisfactorily. The air used amounts to about ten per cent of the steam supply, and when a slight amount is used to raise the pressure at the portion of the train near the engine, the effect is felt through the line of pipes. In one in- stance, where steam was admitted to the heating system at a pressure of fifty-seven pounds per square inch, the pressure at the end of the train was but ten pounds. Using sufficient air to make the pressure sixty pounds per square inch,’ twenty-eight and a half pounds at the end of the train were obtained, which fell to twenty- one and a third pounds after the steam was admitted to the traps. With trains of unusual length the results were equally satisfactory. Pepsin in Cheese-Making. From experiments made at the New York Agricultural Experiment Sta- tion at Geneva, with pepsin in cheese- making, one conclusion drawn is that it is the pepsin contained in the ren- net that causes the changes noticed’ in the ripening process. Prof. Dean of the Ontario Agricultural College Dairy 3chool says that if this be true, it has reen suggested that pure pepsin be ised instead of rennet for coagulating 1ilk in the making of cheddar cheese. \ sample lot of pepsin was got from ‘hicago and some cheese have been nade at the Guelph Dairy School. Nhile the coagulation did not appear o be normal, as with rennet, the curds after dipping seemed very nice. Prof. Dean says it will be some time before the cheese can be reported on. Ice Bicycle. All the pleasures of sleighing and of bicycling might have been combin- eé in a curious freak ice wheel had it been wholly successful. The odd look- ing vehicle, which was contrived years ago, was mounted on runners which were intended to glide over the ice or snow swiftly and smoothly like an ordinary sleigh. The motive power was supplied by an ordinary veloci- pede or bicycle mechanism. The revo- jution of the wheel forced a series of sprockets to dig rapidly into the snow or ice, thus propelling the con- trivance. Volcano Fertilizes Soil. There are upward of 80,000 inhabi- tants on the slopes and skirts of Ve- suvius. If it were not for the fertiliz- ing effect of the volcanic products not more than one-tenth of that number would be able to find means of sub- sistence there of SILO FOR FIFTEEN CaN es Concrete Structure In Round Form That Will Give Satisfaction. T. E—wWill you please give me plan of octagonal silo, or of the one you consider the best for supplying fifteen cows from Nov. 1 to May 15, feeding thirty-five pounds per day to each animal. Of the different kinds of silos in use the round form gives the best satisfaction. Silos used to be built square, with the corners cut off, and also octagonal, but of late nearly all are built round, whether of wood or concrete. To build a round concrete silo is very simple after the moulds are set. The moulds consist of two circles, one for the inside and one for the outside, Form for Building Round Concrete Silo. A, inch boards making form; B, half- inch bolts; C, concrete wall; D, bolt with four nuts; EB. band iron 2 in. wide and three-eighth inch thick. and each circle is divided into four sections (see plan). The sections consist of six-inch boards two feet and a half long, bolted with small bolts on two bands of %x2 inch iron; the top band is within four inches of top of the boards and the other two four inches from bottom. The ends of the band iron should turn out where they join each other in order that they may be bolted together. The bolts should have a continuous thread cut on them and four nuts on each, two between the band iron and one on each end of the bolts. These nuts are to tighten or loosen the form when desired. There must also be half inch bolts put through the wall, three in the bottom and three in the top of each section and through the band iron. When the form is raised these bolts are taken out and the form loosened by slacking the nuts on the bolts where the sections join. At the joints where the sections meet there must be one-eighth inch plate of iron twelve inches wide screwed on to the form, letting the other side lap under the form; this holds the concrete to its place and al- lows the form to loosen or tighten as desired. To raise the form, stand four up- rights on the inside of the silo where the sections meet, and about six or seven feet above the wall nail on a plank, allowing the plank to project over the wall; fasten a small pair of blocks to the ends of these planks. There must be four of these planks so as to raise the form up on all sides alike. Take a short whiffletree and fasten the hooks to both the out- er and inner form and the lower block to this whiffletree. A man at each rope will raise the form easily; then tighten up the bolts again. If care be taken any one can build a silo as true and smooth as a crock. There are about fifty feet of unset- tled ensilage or forty feet of well set- tled ensilage in a ton, therefore it would require a silo ten feet in diame- ter and thirty feet high to supply your cattle feeding them thirty-five pounds per day for the housing season. Inflammation of the Lungs. J. H. N.—Hens kept in a rather cold house and fed oats, mangles and but- termilk are rapidly dying off. The lungs of a number of the birds which died were fiiled with blood and frothy matter. ‘ Ans.—The hens evidently died from inflammation of the lungs, due proba- bly to their cold and draughty house. Hens can stand a fairly cold house during the day provided they take plenty of exercise at scratching for their feed in deep litter. They should, however, have a fairly warm place to roost. A poultry house to be health- ful should be dry and draughtproof, it should receive abundance of sunlight and be kept clean. Without these conditions it is difficult to maintain the flock in a healthy condition. Weasel in a Poultry House. Mrs. M.—I have lost a number of fowls through their blood being sucked during the night by some animal which leaves no track or trail. I have set traps and shut a cat in with the hens, but the loss continues even in the presence of these precautions. The poultry house is floored. Please tell me how io get rid of the depredator. Ans.—It is probable that the enemy is a weasel, a blood sucking animal that can travel through a very small opening and is very difficult to entrap. In addition to the precautionary measures which have been adopted it would be well to tack very fine mesh wire poultry netting over all hgles which would admit even a _large mouse. The Reception He’d Get. “He’s coming to ask for my hand, papa,” said the beautiful girl. “May I hide behind the portiers and hear how he does it?” “I think you’d better not,” replied the father considerately. “I would ' prefer that you shouldn’t hear me use violent language. at VENERABLE PASTOR — CURED BY PE-RU-NA.) Pe-ru-na is a Catarrhal Tonic Especially Adapted to the De- clining Powers of Old Age. In old age the mucous membranes become thickened and partly lose their function. This leads to partial loss of hear- ing, smell and taste, as well as digest- ive disturbances. ‘ Peruna corrects all this by its spe- cific operatfon on all the mucous membranes of the body. One bottle will convince anyone. Once used and Peruna becomes a life-long stand-by with old and young. SAP S208 Strong and vigorous at the Age of Eighty-eight. Rey. J. N. Parker, Utica, N.

My hearing had been somewhat impaired for several years, but not so much affected but that 1 could hold converse with my friends; but in June, 1901, my sense of hearing left me so that I could hear no sound whatever. I was also trou- bled with rheumatic pains in my limbs. I commenced taking Peruna and now my hearing is restored as good as it was prior to June, 1901. My rheumatic pains are all gone.
