The Rural New Yorker has been
publishing a series Of articles on re-
claiming swamp lands. written by F.
Hodgman. In one of the articles he
says that most of these swamps are
simply basins having an impervious
subsoil which holds the surface water
which falls or drains into them. Some
were once lakes and ponds which have
gradually filled up with decaying veg
etable matter. I'VE have" he says.
plenty of them now in all stages OF
the process. Sometimes the surface OF
a lake has grown over with vegeta-
ton, making soil several feet thick
under which the water still remains.
furnishing the conditions from which
are caused the sink holes" which
have caused so much trouble and ex-
pense in building railroads and high
ways over them Others were caused
by the leaves damming the water
courses, thus flooding the surrounding
country. There are hundreds Of old
beaver dams within days ride OF my
residence, and 1t Is wonderful to what
an extent they have modified the to-
Biography of the country. l think that
1t Is safe to say that, in the townshinp

there is, almost without exception, o
natural outlet from these basins where
the water has, evidently. flowed at
some time, even though the water sur
faco in the basin is now far below the
outlet. In general, these natural out
lets may be utilized for the purpose
of drainage. Some of our swamps have
several different outlets, any or all of
which may be used.''

you will have
to undergo the operation OF ovariotomy,
the cutting out of the ovary.
Yes, you will recover, at least hope
you will; but you will never be quite
the same woman again. Congestion of
the ovaries is fatal to health. If you
have any such symptoms be advised
in time take a medicine of specific
powers! You can find none better
than Lydia e. Pinlsham's Vegetable
Compound, prepared especially to meet
the needs of woman's sexual system.
You can get it at any good druggists.
Following we publish q letter from
woman in Milwaukee, which relates
how she was cured of ovarian trouble:
Dear Mrs. PinlSham:-I suffered with
congestion of the ovaries and infamma-
tion of the womb. Ihad been troubled
with suppressed and painful menstrua-
tion from girl. The doctors told me
the ovaries would have to be removed.
took treatment two years to escape
an operation, but still remained in mis-
cradle health in both body and mind, ex.
pecting to part with my reason each
coming month. After using one bottle
of Lydia E. Pinlsham's Vegetable Com
pound and package of Sanative Wash
was very much relieved. 1 continued
to use your remedies until cured. The
last nine months have been passed in
perfect good health. This, Iknow, 1 owe
entirely to the Vegetable Compound.
My gratitude is great, indeed, to the
one to whom so many women owe their
health and happiness. "-MRs. F. M.

APPLES AS MEDICINE.
They Contain Ingredients Of Great Service
to tho Body.

to tho Body.
The German analysts say that the apple
contains larger percentage OF phosphorus
than any other fruit or vegetable. This
phosphorus Is admirably adapted for re-
newing the essential nervous matter, lithl-
Gin, of the braip and spinal cord. 1t is
perhaps, for the same reason TINT the old
Scandinavian traditions represent the apple
as tho food OF the gods, who, when they felt
themselves growing feeble and infirm, re-
sorted to this fruit for renewing their
powers of mind and body. Also the acids
Of the apple are of signal service for men
Of sedentary habits, whose lvers are slug
gish In action. these acids serving to elm
mate from the body nOxi0us matters which,
IL retained, make the brain heavy and dull,
or bring about jaundce, skin eruptions and
other allied troubles. Some such expert
ence must have led to our custom OF taking
apple sauce with roast pork, rich goose and
like dishes.
A good ripe, raw apple is one of the easiest
OF vegetable substances for the stomach to
deal with. the whole process of its digestion
being completed In elghty-flve minutes.
In the Hotel des Invnlides Of Paris an
apple poultice IL used commonly for in
nnmed eyes. the apple being roasted and itS
pulp applied over the eyes without any In
tervening substance. L0ng ago 1t was said
apples do easily and speedily pass through
the belly. therefore, they do mOllify the
belly. And for the same reason modern
maxim teaches that $40 eat an apple going
to bed, the doctor then will beg his bread."-

Alfalfa.-Alfalfa is gradually grow

where it Is SO largely relied on for for
age. The extension is proceeding in
n safe. conservative way worthy OF
encouragement. First prepare the soil,
deep and thorough. and keep down tho
weeds. Good results are obtained from
frequent high moving. leaving the cut
tings on the ground as a mulch. In
the selection OF the soil care should bo
taken not to choose land where tho
plant will st:nd with It's feet in the
water nor where the water comes near
the surface. The amount OF seed
ranges from IL to 80 pounds per acre,

Rape for Sheep Pasture.

Rape can be grown with success ao
far north as Central New York. 1t is
used principally as crop to furnish
pasturage for sheep. 1t belongs to
the Cruciferae family, and resembles
the mustards. The only variety which
does well in this locality is the Dwarf
Essex. This is a biennial variety, and
is much more valuable than the an
nual varieties. Plant the seed on fe-
tile, well-drained lands about July 1,
in drills about thirty inches arart,
and at the rate of one to one and one
half pounds per acre. Cultivate as
soon as the rows can be followed.
Rape Is recommended as pasture for
sheep and lambs. When sown at the
time mentioned 1t is usually ready for
pasturing by September 10. 1t is not
recommended as feed for dairy cattle.
