This woman says that sich ‘women should not fail to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound as she did. Mrs. A. Gregory, of 2355 Lawrence §t., Denver, Col. writes to Mrs. Pinkham: “I was practically an invalid for six years, on account of female troubles. I underwent an operation by the doctor’s advice, but in a few months I was worse than before. A friend ad- vised Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and it restored me to perfect health, such as I have not enjoyed in many years. Any woman suffering as I did’ with backache, bearing-down pains, and periodic pains,should Bet fail to use Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound,” FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable compounds made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ill and has positively cured thousands 0: women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera- tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bear- ing-down feeling, flatulency, indiges- tion,dizziness or nervous prostration. Why don’t you try it? Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has ided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass.

Many farmers seem to think that the wintering of the colt is no differ- ent than the wintering of the idle farm horses. This is a mistake. It is quite a different thing, for the colt is a growing animal while the horse has already attained his development. The wintering of the colt is the same as the wintering of any other young animal. Good feed and care are both essential to the best results. Where these are not supplied there is bound to be a stunting of the young animal and this is not to be desired. A run about the straw stack with nothing else to eat is not enough for the growing colt. He needs some- thing more than clear straw for his daily diet. The straw does not supply the muscle making food that is nec- essary for his best development. The colt should be treated to a grain ra- tion as well as one of good roughage. Dr. Alexander puts it well in the fol- lowing advice, intended for all who are wintering growing colts: “It is a ruinous policy to rough colts through the winter on coarse, in- nutritious straw and hay. They should be generously fed at all times so that the other end near the gable for ven lation. moved about on clover pasture, and: as the feeding can be done in different | places, the spread of the resulting fer- | tility will be worth while. SALTING SHEEP. One Man Who Has Found It Better | Not to Provide Salt Box. Keep salt stantly, among farmers. the plan of salting sheep regularly or kept salt before them constantly. I often doubted the policy, but habit was strong, and I continued the prac- tice up to a few years ago, when I practically discontinued salting save during the winter when on dry feed, and then rather sparingly, explains a writer in Farm and Home. The re- sults have been very satisfactory. When sheep have access to. salt they go to it many times a day, thus creating an abnormal thirst. If water is not at hand they suffer more from thirst than for want of salt were it before the sheep con- withheld. From this great thirst they will drink from any §stag- nant pool much more water | than they need, taking into their stomachs great numbers of dis- | ease-breeding germs. While salt may stop indigestion when taken in prop- er quantities, it is poisonous when ta- ken too freely. There used to be under my sheep barn a box with a lid so arranged that | stock would lift it and get salt and | then the lid would drop down again, keeping out all-dirt and trash. This lid’s dropping down could be heard frequently day and night, showing how often the box was visited. A hard | beaten path led from the salt box to | the watering place, about eight rods awa) It occurred to me that there was no use of all this; the sheep. were both eating too much salt and drink- ing too much water. that they had bowel trouble. Since removing the cause of this great thirst my flock do not take more than one-half the water, are quite free from bowel troubles, and are as con- tented as before. I do not advocate feeding no salt at all, but give much less than is used by many. WALK OF THE HORSE. Great Difference in the Gait of, Even of Same Breed. There is much difference in differ- | ent individual horses of the same and | every breed in the matter of walking, some having quicker steps longer stride, which means the cover- ing of greater distance in less time... I have found that there are slo medium and fast walkers in every breed, says a writer in Farmers’ Re- view. As in running, pacing and trotting the walk can be made faster | by proper handling in nearly all cases, but some animals improve more than others. It would be impossible to make a good fast a horse whose step was very short. I have noticed no difference in speed at the walk in the light breeds of horses and others that were fast walkers. The action in walk, as in trot or other gaits, is largely inherited. I have owned many horses that came from the same family, running first, second, third and fourth generation, almost all of them having the same kind of action, both in walk, trot and the sad- dle gaits. I am, however, unable to say all were good at flat-foot walk, but many of them were, and it is my opinion that while I think the good walk is largely inherited, it can be much improved by a good rider or driver. I do not think the feed given a horse can affect his walk. Of course a horse in good condition feels well and will travel faster than one not well fed, but this is as far as feed would enter into the question. A Dry Pen. The pens of many pigs are not dry, and with wet pens come dirty pens. So long as the pen of the hog is dry, {he will be clean, for he is by nature a clean animal. The hog _ quarters should be so well drained that they will never be even damp, and they should be cleaned out often. It is a mistake to use the hog yard as a place in which manure can be made: Keep everything dry ‘and save condi- tions that invite disease. iid eNeioaa Seat ac iain Such a house can be readily | seems to be the general idea | For years I followed | I noticed also | and a/| walker out of} they may be kept steadily growing, for if they stop growing in winter, or lose part of the gain made while a | suckling, that loss never can wholly be regained. The bones, sinews and muscles have been stunted for all time and the dwarfed animal can be made only a make-believe drafter by | the fattening process, which is detri- | mental to a work horse. | “In addition to hay, fodder and | straw, oats and bran should be fed in | winter alone with a sufficient amount of corn to maintain heat and furnish some of the vim and vigor. Dried blood meal also is excellent as a small addition to the ration to bring up the percentage of digestible protein, or flaxseed meal or cake may be used with the same object, while roots, such as carrots, are a fine adjunct as they regulate the bowels and act bene- ficially upon the skin.” WINDLASS FOR SCALDING HOGS. | | ped aT | It Will Make the Work at Killing Time Easy. Set two poles in the ground crotches in end, as shown in illu: | tion. Next take round pole with old wagon wheel on one end, set in crotches. Set barrel under the pole at one end to scald hogs. Place bench }i | | Windlass for Scalding Hogs. where hog can be scraped and then wound up to pole. Any number of hogs can be dressed in this manner. I use hooks for ring and hook for attaching gambrel. Let the iron band pass round the windlass pole. The ring must be loose on pole. The sketch, taken from Prairie Farmer, shows the plan. The cut shows that one hog has been scraped and pulled up to the hook, where the entrails can be removed. With the same rope over barrel, another hog can be scalded | and scraped and then drawn to the second hook, and so on. STOCK NOTES. Good bedding for animals is a kind that will keep them dry, warm and | comfortable, and is capable of absorb- ing large amounts of liquid. | Mixed farming needs live stock to | bring it to its highest point of suc- cess. Animal husbandry is now coming to be considered as the foundation of all agricultural progress. Corn is becoming so valuable for human feed that it is passing out of the lists of animal feeds. With a little care hogs can be kept healthy, but it is difficult to cure them when sick. A variety of food is better for hogs than one kind. | Our best beef is now being produced on high-priced land and on high-priced feed. Feeding New Corn to Hogs. Whether or not new corn causes cholera or swine plague, it is not best to begin feeding shoats all they will eat of new corn. When I begin feed- ing new corn I cut stalks and all -as long as they chew the stalks, and at the same time I feed them old corn | till they become accustomed to the change, says a writer in Farmers’ Voice. Thus I make the change gradually without causing any de- rangement of the bowels, which is one of the prime causes of cholera and all hog diseases. I have never lost a hog from feeding new corn, but I have never put hogs on a full feed of new corn. I cannot say from experi- ence whether or not new corn has even a tendency toward causing dis- eases of swine, but to guard against it by making a gradual change séems to ‘me the wisest policy, May be ath the man in your family?” queried my deaf friend.
