Miss Sadie Robinson, 4 Rand street, Malden, Mass., writes: “Peruna was recommended to me about a year agoas an excellent remedy for the troubles peculiar to our sex,and as I found that all that was said of this medicine was true, I am pleased to endorse it. «d began to use it zbout seven months ago for weakness and nervousness, caused from overwork and sleepless- ness, and found that in a few days I began to grow strong, my appetite in- creased and I began to sleep better, consequently my nervousness passed away and the weakness in the pelvic organs soon disappeared and I have been well and strong ever since.”’ Address Dr. 8.

MADE NEW STRENGTH QUICKER THAN DOCTOR'S TONICS, SAYS TYPHOID PATIENT. Young Lady Left by Fever in Very Weak State Uses Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills with Gratifying Results, After a fever, such as typhoid or scar- let, has run its full course there remains the recovery of strength. The tonic that will most rapidly increase the red cor- puscles in the blood is the one that will most quickly restore color to the pale cheeks, strength to the weak muscles, and elasticity to the sluggish nerves. So far nothing has ever been produced su- perior to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for this purpose. Miss Midendorf had been ill with typhoid fever for fourteen weeks. She had a good physician who carreid her safely through the critical stages. When he left, nothing remained to be done ex- cept to build up her strength, which was very feeble, and he gave her some pre- scriptions for that purpose. Here, how- ever, she met with disappointment. «I took the doctor’s tonies,’’ she says, “for two months after I had recovered from the fever, but they did not do me the good Ilooked for. My strength came back so slowly that I scarcely seemed to be making any progress at all. Just then I read in a book thrown in our yard some striking testimonials showing what wonderful blood-builders and streugth-givers Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are. I got a box of them soon after this and after I had ‘taken only about half of them I could see a very great im- provement in my condition. When I had used up two boxes, I felt that I did not need any more medicine. I have remained ctrong ever since.”’ Miss E. B. Midendorf lives at No. 1501 Park street, Quincy, Il. Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills are the best remedy to use in all cases of weakness, from what- ever cause the system may be run down. In cases of debility due to overwork they minister fresh strength and overcome nervous symptoms. They area specific for anemia or bloodlessness. They are particularly helpful to girls on the verge of womanhood. They meet all the re- quirements of the period known as the change of life. They correct spring languor. They strengthen weak diges- tion and rouse up sluggish organs. No other tonic combines so many virtues, Ali druggists sell them.

Probably there is no plant that has a worse reputation as a pest than the Canada thistle, yet there are others that are far more troublesome. The reputation of the thistle has caused legislation against it while more dan- gerous weeds have been overlooked, This plant is called the Canada thistle, both in this country and in Canada, as it was supposed to have been brought from Canada at about the time of the Revolution. But it is not a native of Canada. It was well known in Europe at least as early as the sixteenth century and was brought from Europe to Canada by Canada Thistle. except “d,"" stem; “b,”” pappus; the early settlers. A century ago the New England farmers imagined they had a terrible pest on their hands, but they soon learned that with good cultivation it was not a difficult mat- ter to keep it from doing much harm. Its worst quality is its persistency, which is due to the fact that it is propagated partly by underground rootstalks as well as by seeds. Peo- ple that do not know how to handle it allow it to grow up and then cut it down and are surprised that it is found in the same place the next year. The fact is that while its top is developing, food is being elaborated which is developing the underground stems and preparing them for con- tinued existence on the strength of the stored-up food. The government About natural size, which is enlarged; ‘‘a,” main flower head; “ce,” seed with seed. @oung shoots, and mature plant in fowa. bulletins recommend that it be mowed twice a year just before flowering, which is in June and August, but the writer of this article believes, from years of experience with the plant, that it should be kept down from the first, that the substance in the root may be exhausted and may not be re- supplied. This can be done by a boy taking a sharp hoe and going over the in- fested field, cutting off the young crowns a little below the ground. This can be done rapidly. The boy will learn to swing the hoe with great dexterity and at every blow a head will fall, It is generally the Jack of treatment that makes the Canada thistle troublesome.—Farmers’ . Re- view, “Seiad Farm Notes. The “castings” on the trunks of the apple trees show where the borers have been at work. Care should be exercised in keep- ings the cow pasture free from rag- weed. This weed imparts a peculiarly disgusting, bitter taste to the milk of cows which eat it, and the butter made from such milk is also impreg- nated with the same peculiar taste. One of the most fatal mistakes in breeding hogs or any other class of stock is to overlook the question of constitutional vigor, for upon this depends the general health and thrift of the stock, their feeding qualities and their ability to assimilate food to the best advantage. Fattening animals should never be allowed to become hungry, nor, on the other hand, should they be fed too heavily. Too heavy feeding clogs the appetite and too long periods between feeds makes the animal restless. The better plan is to feed more frequently and just what the animal will readily eat up clean . ‘Thoughts on Breeds. Each breed of fowls has been bred for a particular purpose, and a man in purchasing a breed should make certain that he knows the purpose for which the breed he wants is adapted. A breed of fowls that has been carefully nurtured for generations is less able to stand rough conditions than the scrub fowls that have come up under all kinds of adverse condi- tions. The old breeds were at first dev@l- oped no man knows how. The Medi- terranean breeds have the capacity of laying a good many eggs and of not sitting, but it is not known that these characteristics were bred into them intentionally. The Langshan breed is one of the oldest in the world and was bred in north China for centuries before be- ing brought to this country. How it attained its form and color is not known. It is probable that the China- man of that country liked a black fowl, a big fowl and one that would lay many eggs in winter, We have enough breeds now, but we are sure that many new ones will come in during the present genera- tion. Men will not be satisfied with- out experimenting, even though there be no particular object in their ex- perimentation—Estella Harper, Car- roll Co., Ill, in Farmers’ Review. Black Langshans. The Langshan breed is one of the oldest in the world and has been evi- dently kept pure for centuries. It originated in north China centuries ago. It is the smallest of the Asiatic breeds and is more active than any of the others. Without doubt it is one of the best laying breeds we have, and probably exceeds in this re spect any of the other breeds from Asia, A good many poultry raisers in the United States are so much in love with the Langshans that they raise them entirely. The flesh of the Langshan is white, while the flesh of the other Asiatic breeds is yellow. The flesh of the Langshan is excellent for eating, being fine grained, tender and nicely flavored. The Culls. Most of our farmers never cull out their flocks and some that do, cull in the wrong direction. ‘When the time comes for selling off the surplus stock the very best should be kept for foundation of the future flock. Too often this future flock must depend on the culls for its ex- istence. The butcher or the traveling buyer will pay more. for the well- formed well-developed fowls than he will for the other kind, and the owner instinctively feels that his poorest birds will develop into good ones in time. Therefore he will sell off the ones that bring the most money at that time. The culls should go first, and the best birds of the flock should not be let go of at any price. Young Chicks. This is the time of year when many broods of chicks are coming out of the shells to claim the attention of the farmer. The feeding of chicks is a matter that cannot be ignored. They cannot be fed at odd times like the old bens nor will they be satisfied with two or three feeds a day. They must have at least five feeds each day, and only a small quan- tity of food can be given at each feeding. No food must be allowed to sour, and much of the food must be given in a form that will make the chicks exercise to get it. Overcrowding Chicks. Overcrowding of chicks in brood- ers results in weakening the chicks that remain alive after a number have been killed. Some have said that it was a good thing to kill off the weak ones in that way, but we doubt it. It is not a rare occurrence to have a weak child or a weak animal or bird develop into a strong being at maturity. When we overcrowd the chicks we give to them conditions that are injurious to life and health, It may be that the set-back will never be overcome by good conditions afterward. Scaly Legs, When the fowls have scaly legs grease them, and if the greasing is thoroughly done the in- sects that are causing the scales to rise will be killed. All insects are killed by grease, which stops up the pores by which they breathe. If the cold lard does not get into the remote parts under the scales heat the lard and dip the legs of the fowls into it. This is a treatment that does not hurt the fowl, but is death to the insects that make the trouble. An Egg Record. At the Cornell station — Jast year 250 hens laid an aver- age of 129.7 eggs. The cost of feed- ing a hen a year was put at 99.6 cents. The average cost per dozen of eggs for the year was 9.2 cents. The returns for each hen over the cost of food was $1.31. That is a pretty good record considering the large number of hens being kept, as it is doubtless true that some of the hens laid very few eggs. The well should be often cleaned out. Some wells are never cleaned till they get to be so foul that the water reveals it in an offensive smell. .| Given His Choice of Either Texas or Arkarsas Law. A white man was arraigned before a colored justice of the peace during reconstruction times for killing a man and stealing a mule. It was in Arken- sas, near the Texas border ,and there was some rivalry between the states, but the colored justice tried always to preserve an impartial frame of mind. “We'se got two kinds ob iaw in dis yere co’t,” he said. “Texas law and Arkansas law. Which will you hab?” The prisoner thought a minute and then guessed he would take the Ar- kansas Jaw. “Den I discharge you fo’ stealin’ de mule an’ hang you fo’ killin’ de man.’ “Hold on a minute, judge,” said the j prisoner. “Better make it Texas law.” “All right, Under de Jaw ob Texas I fine yo’ fo’ killin’ de man and hang yo’ for stealin’ de mule.’”—Chicago Chron- icle.

SAVED CHILD’S LIFE. Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Sedgwick, Ark., June 19.—The case of W. S. Taylor’s little son is looked upon by those interested in medical matters'as one of the most wonderful on record. In this connection his fath- ey makes the following statement: “Last September my liitle boy had dropsy; his feet and limos were swol- len to such an extent that he could not walk or put his shoes on. The treatment that the doctors were giving him seemed to do him no good, and two or three people said his days were short, even the doctors, two of the best in the country, told me he vould not get better. I stopped their medicine and at once sent for Dod Kidney Pills. I gave him three Pills a day, one morning, noon and night for eight days; at the end of the eighth day the swelling was all gone, but to give the medicine justice, I gave him eleven more pills. 1 used thirty-five Pills in all aad he was entirely cured. I consider your medicine saved my child’s life. When the thirty-five Pills were given him, he could run, dance and sing. whereas before he was an invalid in his mother’s arms from morning until night.” Uncongenial.
