Cold Sweats, Twitching Nerves Weakness Bid ce by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Nature punishes every infraction of her laws, and careless habits easily lead to the condition described by, Mr. Wil- liam Browne, of No. 1019 Lincoln street, St. Joseph, Mo. Mr. Btowne is an ex- pert tinner in the employ of the National Biscuit Co. He gives the following ac- count of a trying experience; “In the spring of 1902,” he says, «while I was regularly working at ny trade, I grew somewhat careless in my habits of eating and drinking, and finally found that my appetite was fickle, a bad taste lingered in my mouth, my nerves twitched and were beyond my control, my kidneys were out of order and cold sweats would break ont over my body at odd times. Perhaps, while I stood talk- ing with some one, this trembling of the limbs, and Pacrupe. sweating, and a severe chill would seize me. I became alarmed at my condition and, having read an endorsement of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, I got a box and began to use them. They helped me at once. After I had used one box the twitching of the nerves, the trouble with the stomach and the cold sweats stopped and have not reappeared, and my appetite is good, Lhave told all my friends that Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills cured me and I recom- mend them to everybody.’’ Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cured Mr, Browne because nothing can strengthen the nerves except good rich. red blood— aud Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills actually make new blood. They don’t act onthe bowels. ‘Chey don’t bother with mere symptoms.

OLNEY & McDAID, Clinton, lowa. Soil Fertility in the Corn Belt. Articles have recently appeared in several agricultural journals suggest- ing that the total plant food content of the soil is essentially permanent, a theory which is liable to mislead the farmer and injure the farm. For ex-. ample, take the following statements quoted from a Delaware station bulle- tin: “An average of the results of 49 analyses of the typical soils of the United States showed per acre for the first eight inches of surface ‘ 2,600 pounds of nitrogen, 2,100 pounds of phosphorus, and 11,100 pounds of po- tassium. The average yield of wheat in the United States is 14 bushels per acre, * * * Now if all the poten- tial nitrogen, phosphorus, and potas- sium could be rendered available there is present in’ such an ayerage soil, in the first eight inches, enough nitrogen to last 90, enough phosphorus for 500, and enough potassium for 1,000 years.” Who wishes to raise only 14 bush- els of wheat to the acre? Let us plan to raise 40 bushels and possibly we shall then get 30 bushels. The aver- age yield of corn in Illinois is 33 bush- els, but those who prepare to raise 100 succeed in getting 75 bushels per acre. The average soil of the corn belt does not contain 2,100 pounds of phos- phorus per acre in the surface eight inches, but only about 1,500 pounds of } total phosphorus to that depth. A 100-bushel crop of corn requires 23 pounds of phosphorus; consequently the total phosphorus content of this surface soil, instead of being sufficient for 10,000 crops or for 500 crops, is, as a matter of fact, sufficient for only 70 crops of corn of 100 bushels each. On the other hand the nitrogen con- tent of the Illinois soil, instead of be- ing only 2,600 pounds, is about 6,000 pounds per acre to a depth of eight inches; and where clover or other legumes are being grown in rotation or as catch crops, the supply is being to some extent at least renewed. The total potassium content of an acre of Illinois prairie soil to a depth of eight inches is more than three times 11,100 pounds. Thus, the com- monest type of soil in the corn belt contains, in the first eight inches, enough nitrogen for 60 years, enough phosphorus for 90 years, and enough + potassium for 2,000 years if 100-bushel crops of corn were the standard and if the stalks were all returned to the soil. If the entire crop, including both grain and stalks, were removed from the land and nothing returned, then the nitrogen would last 40 years, the phosphorus 70 years, and the potas- sium 500 years. In 1904 the Illinois station harvest- ed 59 bushels of corn per acre from a field which had been rotated in corn, oats and clover for 28 years. On an- other adjoining field which had been in pasture for at least 18 years pre- vious to 1894 and in corn, oats and clover since 1894, a crop of 74 bushels was produced without soil treatment; but where lime and phosphorus had been applied to a part of the same field 96 bushels per acre were produced. ‘The value of the 22 bushels increase is not only double the annual cost of the limestone and bone meal applied, but the phosphorus applied is more than would be removed in a 100-bushel crop of corn, so that this field is not only growing larger crops but at the same time it is being made richer and rich- er year by year, whereas the untreat- ed land which produced 74 bushels per acre is poorer by the 17 pounds of phosphorus removed in the crop. The 17 pounds are more than 1 per cent. of the total phosphorus in the first eight inches. If the phosphorus is continually sold from the farm in grain or in the bones of animals, it must also be brought back, either in corn, or in con- centrated feeds (as bran or oil meal), or in bone meal (originally a farm ,;product), or in rock phosphate from ‘our great natural deposits, of which more than a million tons are now be- ing shipped annually from the United States to foreign countries. Briefly stated, “with the use of suf- ficient limestone to keep the soil’ sweet and abundant, use of legume crops and catch crops, and the addi- tion to the soil of a ton of ground rock phosphate, or its equivalent, every six or eight years, in connection with all of thé farm manure which can be made, the ordinary lands of the Cen- tral West can be made to grow large crops indefinitely.” Cyril G. Hopkins. University of Illinois. Variations in Tillage. There is no one method of tillage that is best under all conditions. A man must learn what kinds of tillage are best suited to his needs and to his soil. It is impossible to lay down gen- eral principles that can be followed. A few years ago extensive plowing was done in the state of Illinois when the land was really too wet to plow. The result was that the land took the form of clods and all the ‘harrowing that could be done’ did not pulverize them. Two men would stand on the harrow at once, and yet the harrow would slip over the heavy clods. The plowing had been done at the usual time and this was in that year just the wrong time for it. Had the plow- men waited two weeks until the soil was in a friable condition, a vast amount of work would have been saved. The kind of tillage should vary with the sol, ne of year the plowing is done, and the particu: lar time when the crop is to be put in, There are some lands that can be’ tilled at almost any time when the frost is out of the ground. We know of large areas of rolling farm land where men can go on with the plow and the harrow an hour after a heavy) rain has stopped. We know of other fields where land cannot be worked for weeks after a heavy rain; and where all work would make the soil worse instead of better. \ Pollination of Kieffer Pears. An experimentor in the east has been pollinating Kieffer pears. He has been using Kieffer pollen. Only four per cent of the crosses of Kieffer pollen started to grow, and the fruit dropped before it was a fourth de- veloped. The few pears that did de- velop were much smaller and weaker than the Kieffers that had been cross- fertilized. Pollen was brought in from trees that were 50 miles away ‘to see if the different localities would affect its efficacy. This pollen from a dis- tance was found to be no more. ef- fective than pollen from the same tree. The same gentleman counted the blossoms per tree and estimated that if two blossoms in a hundred should produce pears, the branches would be so heavily loaded that they would be bent to the ground. He had found some orchards where Kieffer pears were planted in blocks, and the inside trees were generally unfruitful. The outside trees were evidently cross pollenized from other trees that were near enough to have their pollen car- ried by bees or other insects. Dairy Schools. The dairy schools at the various ag- ricultural colleges should be largely patronized by our students, as there is no branch of farming that will pay greater returns than dairying, even on the farm where mixed farming is fol- lowed. The farm boy that will take a course in a dairy school, even though that course be comprised all in a sin- gle term of eight weeks will go back to his home with new ideas as to the cow and her possibility. Many of the terms begin in the early fall and the farm boy that is looking forward to a possible course should begin corre- spondence now, for he will have to in- form himself as to cost of tuition, board, room and the like. At some of our agricultural colleges the total cost of a term including board, room, books and incidentals fs,less than $60. Cer- tainly there is no way in which a father may invest $60 more profit: ably. Growing Celery in Tents. Some experimenters in the east have been trying the experiment of growing celery under tents. The cloth of which these tents were made was cheesecloth. This permitted the passage of a large amount of light. Some of the tents were entirely ciosed, while the others were left open on the north and east sides. The celery from the open tents was about 25 per cent taller than that grown on the open ground, while that in the closed tents was 40 per cent taller. The latter was better blanched than that grown in the other tents or out of doors. The celery in the tents escaped <he frost out aoors and was better in flavor than that grown in the open air. Learn to Run the Separator. The people that buy cream separa- tors too often fail to inform themselves fully as to the speed at which they should be run. There is one best degree of speed, and the manufacturers gener- ally know what it is. They publish im plicit directions, and their agents also give instructions, and both of these are frequently neglected by the people that purchase the machines. There is always a great loss of cream when the machine is run too slowly, and if it is run too rapidly too much milk is in- corporated with the cream. The speed of the machine should always be reg- ular. Constantly changing the speed does not help the separation. , Green Corn in Winter. It is not such a difficult matter to have green corn on cob in the middle of winter when the snow is flying. Scrub out a barrel, and put a layer of salt in the bottom of it. Place upon this a layer of sweet corn with the husks still on., When the barrel is full add a pickle of salt and Water and put on a heavy stone for pressure. The corn will keep in good condition all winter. When you wish to use it soak it for twenty-four hours in cold water, then boil just as you do summer corn.— S. A. White. The Feast of Dolls. Every year in Japan _ there is a special holiday for lit. tle girls, called the Feast of Dolls. All day long the streets are full of de- mure and pretty little maidens going about with their mothers, buying and looking at dolls. As to the dolls, there are thousands of them, of all sizes and varieties. They are on sale, they are carried in children’s arms—they are everywhere. Peeling Sheep. Mabel,. who was visiting in the country, was. sent to the barn, where the hired man was shear- ing sheep, to look for her grandpa. She soon returned and said: “Him ain’t out there; ain’t nobody there but aman peelin’ sheeps.”—-Chicago News. In laying drain tile see that it is below the frost line.

The life of an oak tree is fifteen years, and in 1920 all the ties in the country must be replaced. There is not enough materia] in North America to do it. An authority has figured out that the number of railroad ties em- Ployed in the railroad service amounts up to eighteen figures. Iron ties will not do, They are too rigid. It will be either import from Africa or South America, or invent some substitute for wood. The need of restoration will strike the railroads when it is too late.”—Milwaukee Free Press.

All women work; some in their homes, some in church, and some in the whirl of society. And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning their daily bread. All are subject to the same physical | 4, laws; all suffer alike from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, ovarian troubles, ulceration, falling and dis- placements of the womb, leucorrhea, or perhaps irregularity or suppression of ‘‘monthly periods,” causing back- ache, nervousness, irritability and lassitude. Women who stand on their feet all day are more susceptible to these troubles than others. They especially require an invigorat- ing, sustaining medicine which will! strengthen the female organism and enable them to bear easily the fatigues of the day, to sleep well at night, and} to rise refreshed and cheerful. How distressing to see a woman straggling to earn a livelihood or per- form her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or stand up, and every movement causes pain, the origin of which is due to some derangement of the female or- ganism. Miss F, Orser of 14 Warrenton Street, Lydia £. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Succeads Where Others | Boston, tells women how to avoid such suffering; she writes: Dear Mrs, Pinkham:— | “I suffered misery for several years with | lar menstruation, My back ached; I had bearing down pains, and frequent head- aches; I could not sleep and could hardly rag around. I consulted two physicians without relief, and as a last resort, I tried | Lydia E. Pinkham’sVegetable Compound, and | to my surprise, every ache and pain left’ me. Igained ten pounds and am in perfect bealth.” Miss Pearl Ackers of 327 North Sum- | mer Street, Nashville, Tenn., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “T suffered with painful periods, severe backache, bearing-~down pains, pains across the abdomen; was very nervous and irrita- ble, and my trouble grew worse every month. “My physician failed to help me andI decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I soon found it was doing me good. All my pains and aches disappeared, and I no longer fear my monthly periods.” Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- | pound is the unfailing cure for all these | troubles. It strengthens the proper muscles, and displacement with all its horrors will no more crush you. Backache, dizziness, fainting, bear- ing down pains, disordered stomach, moodiness, dislike of friends and society —all symptoms of the one cause—will be quickly dispelled, and it will make you strong and well.

Mrs. Alcoba, of Chicago, who was a cou- firmed invalid for Pa after taking a thorough course of Mull’s Gra Tonic says she was able to leave her bed after the third bottle, and is now enjoying good health. She had tried everything that came to her notice. Mr. Crow, of St. Louis, had dyspepsia, liver and bowel trou- ble for 35 years, which he contracted dur- ing the Civil War. He said he never could t anything that even afforded him relief, But that ashort treatment of Mull’s Grape Tonic completely cured him. He recom- mended it to old soldiers so many of whom suffer with the same complaint. Mr. McCurdy, of Troy, Ohio, was one of the greatest sufferers that ever came to our attention.
