Harry Magill, a farmer who lives on

the owner Of one Of the most remark
able pigs on record. Piggy is months
old and is retriever of the most pro-

WHY SO MANY REGULAR
PHYSICIANS FAIL
TO Cure Female nls-Some True
Reasons Why Mrs. Pinkham
is More Successful Than
the Family Doctors.

A woman is sick; some disease pecu-
liar to her sex is fast developing in her
system. She goes to her family physi-
clan and tells him a story, but not the
whole story.
She holds something back, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mystifes the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctor fails to cure the disease? Still,
we cannot blame the woman, for it is
very embarrassing to detail some of
the symptoms of her suffering, even to
her family physician.
It was for this reason that years
ago Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass,
determined to step in and help her
sex. Having had considerable ex-
perience in treating female ills with
her Vegetable Compound, she encour-
aged the women of America to write
to her for advice in regard to their
complaints, and, being a woman, it
was easy for her ailing sisters to pour
into her ears every detail of their suf-
fering. Over one hundred thousand
women were successfully treated by
Mrs. Pinkham last year. Such are the
grand results of her experience.

Has Twenty Dre.smakers.

It is well known that the German
Empress is an ideal housekeeper as
well as an ideal wife and mother. Her
dread Of waste goes SO far that the
suits Of her elder children are cut down
to fit the younger boys and her own
court dresses are altered again and
again, so as not to be recognized when
they are worn at any court functions.
Yet 1t is also reported that an army of
twelve .dressnakers is always at work
for the Empress and that it is increased
to over thirty whenever the Empress
is about to start on journey. New
gowns would, after all, be less expen-
sive, since the great Berlin artist in
dresses who makes the court costumes
for her majesty charges only about $75
for making gown of state.

Making Small Cheese.

A great deal of inquiry has been
made for some means by which fami-
lies with perhaps only two or three
cows could make full-cream cheese of
their milk whenever they might for
any reason choose to do so. Families
want cheese as well as butter. Some
times butter is very low, and again the
weather is too warm for the ordinary
farmer to make a good quality of but
ter, because he has not the necessary
conveniences for keeping milk and
cream at the proper temperature. At
such times and under such circum-
stances If the milk could easily be
made into good quality of cheese at
home, it would be a matter Of much
Importance, nominaIly in the North,
but especially in the South. where, as
a rule, ice Is not to be had to aid in
butter-making.
The Pennsylvania Agricultural Col
lege has been working on the line of
making small cheese to meet the exi-
gency of these conditions. They have
been making cheese of about seven
pounds weight. This makes cheese
of good size for handling and for fam
lily use. 1t is reported that Prof. Hay
ward, Of that institution, says there
has been ready sale for Al that hrs

Hartz Mountain Canaries.

Milwaukee supplies the United States
with the bulk of the Hartz Mountain
canaries, and there is no great crime in
the deception, for the Milwaukee bird
is really an improvement on the i'm
ported article, having just as fine a
voice and being much harder.
Experience has shown that the i'm
ported singer loses the power of trans
mitting his voice to the young after
passing through an American winter.
This Is the case also, it is said, with
Tyrolean singers who come to this
country, their voices losing the peculiar
yodling quality when they have been
here a year. The native canary Is
harder than the imported one, and,
with proper training, is every bit as
good singer.
Before they are mated the hen birds
are kept in separate cages in the music
room, carefully fed and made to listen
to the music of the singers and the ma
chine used in training their voices. In
this way the hen is enabled to transmit
the best musical quality to her off
spring. The music room is a large one,
with south exposure, ana is kept Win
the same scrupulous neatness as the
breeding room. In the corner of this
room is the bird organ, and with it the
little birds are given their vocal train
ing.
When the machine is started the
notes emitted are wonderfully like the
song of the untutored canary. These
notes are known to bird trainers by the
term pfeiffen. Gradually the whistle
strikes onto a different line. 1t is an
improvement over the pfeiffen, and is
called the klingel role. A higher step
still is called the klingel, and still
higher step hohl klingel. Lastly comes
what is called hol rollen, and bird
whose voice has been developed up to
that point is worth $50 in the market
any day.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

THE JOURNEY.

That shall take when all my tasks are

Though life has given me heaping meas
OF all best gifts, and many cup OF

Still better things await me further on.

The distances beyond it so supreme,
have no doubt that all the mighty spaces
Between US and the stars are filed with
faces
More beautiful than any artists dream.

them,
When from this waiting room my soul
has scared.
Earth is a wayside station, where we
wander,
Until from out the silent darkness yonder
Death swings his lantern, and cries,
"All aboard!'
I think deaths train sweeps through the
solar system
And passes suns and moons that dwarf
our own,
And close beside us we shall find our
dearest,
The spirit friends on earth we held the
nearest,
And In the shining distance Gods great
throne.
Whatever disappointment may befall me
In plans or pleasures in this world OF

I know that life at worst can but delay
me,
But no malicious fate has power to stay
From that grand journey on the Great

Farm Notes,

ThOSo VINO are COnSraCuldI1QS inc
farmers on the higher price for wheat
have overlooked the fact that potatoes
are bringing three times as much as
they did two years ago, and the potato
crop is no small one in this country.
The quality and size of fruit on old
bushes is much improved by severe
pruning or thinning of fruit, and this
| applies equally well to all tree fruits.
The demand of the times is for quality

| and this certainly applies to fruit grow
| ing.
To destroy weeds ju pavements and
garden walks make strong brine with
salt and boiling water. Apply with a
| watering can. A moderate quantity of
salt stimulates the growth of all vegeta-
ton; it is, therefore, a mistake to sup
pose that sprinkling Of salt will ex-
| terminate weeds.
The best way to treat clover in the
