Young women may ayoid much sickness and pain, says Miss Alma Pratt, if they will only have faith in the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Judging from the letters she is receiving from so many young girls, Mrs. Pinkham believes that our girls are often pushed altogether too near the limit of their endurance now- adays in our public schools and semin- aries, Nothing is allowed to interfere with studies, the girl must be pushed to the front and graduated with honor ; often physical collapse follows, and it takes years to recover the lost vitality,— often it is never recovered. Miss Pratt says, — “Dear Mrs. Prrxnam:—lI feel it my duty to tell all young women how much Lydia E. Pinkham’s won- derful Vegetable Compound has done for me. I was eompletely run- down, unable to attend school, and did not care for any kind of society, but now I feel like a new person, and have gained seven pounds of flesh in three months. ‘ “I recommend it to all young women who suffer from female weak- ness.”— Miss Atma Pratt, Holly, Mich. — $8000 forfeit if original of above iette? proving genuineness cannot be produced.

Colusa, Cal., April 18th—Much has been said and written recently about } Uric Acid in the system; what causes itand. how to get rid of it. It is known to be the first cause of Rheu- matis and many other diseases and has therefore received a great deal of attention from medical men. \ Mr. L. F. Moulton of this place claims that he has solved the prob- lem of‘ how to get this acid out of the system. He says: : “I had this acid trouble myself for years. At times the Kidney secre- tions would be very profuse and at other times scant, but the acid was always my greatest trouble. Medicine failed to cure’ me till at last I heard ofa remedy called Dodd’s Kidney Pills and after taking a box I seemed to be entirely cured. However, it came back on me and this time I took several boxes, with the result that I was completely and permanently cured. This was three years ago and I have not had a single symptom of the acid trouble since. I am 75 years of age and I am well as ever I was.” Qecurate. “Sir,” says the Boston reporter, “our office is informed that your purse was stolen from you last night.

Virtues are not preserved by pick- ling. \ Food for wicked thought is that usually supplied at boarding houses. He most nearly overcomes imperfec- tion who most seeks perfection. Egg Shell Material. It 1s comparatively easy to supply material for the shell of the egg. Old mortar pounded,. oyster and clam shells ground up, and boses cut up quite fine and ground, all serve the needed purpose. It is far easier to keep the hen supplied with egg-shell material than it is to keep her sup- plied with grit. About one-tenth of the weight of the egg is the shell. In 100 pounds of eggs there are ten pounds and over of lime in the form of the shell. When eggs sell for twen- ty cents per pound this means that $2.00 has been taken in for lime in the shell, a material that cost nothing as a feed. The better the supply of this material the stronger will be the shell. Weak shells are never desir- able. When the supply of lime is cut off the shells are poorly formed and are sometimes so thin that they break too easily. This is a great annoyance to the buyers; it prevents their ready transportation, and it is the cause of frequent accidents with the eggs in the home pantry and kitchen. We have seen eggs with shells so thin that they broke under the pressure of the thumb and fingers when they were being handled with the usual amount of care. The worst feature is, how- ever that the eggs break in the nests and start the hens into the habit of egg-eating. Andalusians. The Andalusian is one of the pret- tiest fowls of the feathered race, be- ing of a beautiful light and dark blue plumage. It is called the Blue Anda- lusian, and is the only variety of its class. It is not as popular in this country as it should be, owing to the BLUE ANDALUSIAN HEN. sentiment against white skin and blue shanks. English and French poultry- men prefer these qualities in a bird, and with them it is very popular. They are nonsitters and splendid lay- ers of large white eggs, averaging in size those of the- Minorca. Specimens of their eggs have been seen in com- petition and the award of merit be- stowed for size and weight. The chicks are hardy, mature early and pullets begin laying when five or six months old. Feed for Chicks. It must be remembered that the iittle chick has absolutely no need for food for the first twenty-four to forty-eight hours after coming out of the shell. Nature has arranged a food for it, and this is already in process of being digested. So the fear that the little thing will die for lack of nourishment is unfounded. The little piece of sharp bone on the beak at this time can be left on, as it will fall off soon enough for the good of the chick. If it be picked off and the chick fed within a few hours after birth, so much the worse for the chick, When the chicken gets the scale off its beak and really wants food, it ill show it with plainness. It will in to peck at everything around. The first food given should be soft food, as that would be the food that would naturally come to the chick in a state of nature. It has no grit in its crop at this time and con- sequently cannot readily use things that have to be ground. In its wild state it would have picked up small bugs and worms. Feed it soft fooa. One of the best that can be given con- sists of stale bread dipped in milk. This should not be wet so much that it will not crumble. Bread newly baked and that is soft and mushy can hardly be recommended for chicks at this age. A little later ground grain of almost any kind may be mixed with milk and feed. One way to improve this is to permit it to soak in the milk for some hours before using. This renders it soft. Sweet milk is best to give at this period, while sour milk and curd may be used later. Inside Wall of the Dairy Barn. A good many of our readers will be building new barns and stables this season. While they are planning for that work, one feature should not be forgotten, and that is the sheathing with matched and smooth lumber in- side. Unless this is done, it will he exceedingly difficult to prevent the accumulation of dust and siftings from the hay, especially where it is stored above the cows on scaffolds. Under the ordinary arrangement of our sta- bles, it is very difficult to either keep the inside of the stables clean or to whitewash them effectively. To leave the lumber rough, even if it is matched, is to do the work but half. It is better to make a complete job of it and have a barn that will be in years to come a satisfaction in every way. Bd: Planting in Blocks. It is not advisable to plant any one variety of apples, pears or plums: in blocks, even of a hundred, unless there are other varieties on all sides of the block. Within comparatively recent years it has been discovered that many of. our varieties of the above mentioned fruit are largely in- fertile to their own pollen, some more so than others. This kind of plant- ing has caused many a good orchard to be infertile, without the owner even suspecting the true cause. It was first found that plums re- quired to be cross-pollenized to in- sure a harvest. Then some one dis- covered that the Keifer pear was a very uncertain quantity without some other variéties near it. The investi- gation was continued, with the result that several other varieties of pears were found to be in need of cross- fertilization. At last the scientists made some elaborate experiments to determine to what extent the apple came under the same laws as to pol- lination, To the surprise of almost every one it was proved that very few| , of our varieties of apples do as well fertilized by their own pollen as by the pollen of another variety, and some of the varieties are found to be almost sterile when fertilized by the| pollen of that variety. It is, there fore, best to so set out apple, plum and pear trees that the pollen of one variety may be used on another va- riety. This will greatly increase the probability of a crop. Retopping Apple Trees. This is the time of year when much of the grafting work is done. There are a good many trees in the orchard that may be made valuable by being entirely top-worked. The trees that proved not true to name and are bear- ing inferior apples in place of the good ones they wére supposed to bear, can be made to bear the good kind in a very small number of years. It is surprising how many trees of an unsatisfactory nature are allowed to go on year after year producing fruit that is only fit for the hogs or for cider, ’ A whole new tap can be started on a tree in three years, cutting off one third of it each year, and inserting scions of the desired variety. If the whole top were cut off the first year, it would generally result in’ killing the tree. By cutting off only one third each year, the circulation of sap is kept up, and the scions of the first year start a good growth. On the second year, when the second third of the tree top is cut off, the first year scions have developed inte fairly good-sized branches, and by the third year the new growth oj wood made by the scions previously set is enough to keep up the circula tion of sap in the body of the tree which would be the part of the tree to first fail in its function, if all the limbs were cut off and the stumps grafted in one year. Soil for Apple Growitg. , A good fertile soil, porous, loamy, with plenty of humus, potash and lime, so as to give fair to good crops of grain or grass, is the most to be desired, while the nearest approach to these requirements would be my next choice—a soil that dries out quickly, so that it can be plowed soon after a rain, one that works easily, so as to get the best results with the least labor; a soil that will give a good crop of corn while we are grow. jing the trees; a soil that will not bake too easily, is the one that is always desirable. Now comes a rocky o1 gravelly soil, which is nearly always good, the only drawback being that it takes more work to get results. ‘hese soils are found in abundance in ali our mountain districts, and nearly always they are good fruit soils.—L. A. Goodman. Cherry Growing in lowa. Iowa is making steady progress as a fruit growing state. The census of 1890 reported 3,140,588 apple trees growing within her borders. In 1900 the number had reached 6,869,588. In 1895 there were 707,506 plum trees in the state; in 1900, 1,302,217. In cherry trees the increase is even more strik- ing, there being 200,000 trees in 1890, against 800,000 in 1900. While the climate of the northern part of the state is no doubt too severe for suc- cessful cherry growing with any ex. cept the hardiest varieties, this de- licious fruit can easily be grown in the central and southern parts. The tree is, handsome and ornamental and is appropriate for lawn and garden. Dairying in Colorado. Some of the figures recently pub- lished on Colorado dairying follow: $,000 cows supply milk to Denver, and 43,000 daily supply milk to the rest of the state. It takes 25,000 cows to supply the cream used. About 45,000 eows are supplying milk to cream- eries and 7,000 are supplying milk to cheese factories. It is estimated that 12,000 cows are supplying butter to the ranches. The annual milk con- sumption for the entire state is put at 89,425,000 quarts, and the number of quarts of cream used is reported at 5,475,000. The value of all cows in the staté is given as $5,119,500 and the wholesale value of the milk ig placed at $2,906,312. ‘As long as the gown isn’t too small 2 woman can build herself up to fit it, a7 ror. |“PE-RU-NA TONES UP THE SYSTEM IF TAKEN IN THE SPRING.” BEAUTIFUL YOUNC GIRL.
