The woman who fails to take proper care of
herself in a womanly way is keeping step
to this measure and IS untitled for wifehood
and motherhood and doomed to an early
grave or to a life of suffering. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is the best of all med

the delicate and important organs of femi-

vigorous. 1t allays Inflammation, heals ul-

tortured nerves. 1t fits for wifehood and
motherhood. 1t banishes the squeamish-
ness of the period of suspense and makes
the little strangers advent easy and almost
painless. 1t insures baby's health and an

To do the duty nearest, simple and
natural as it may seem, is really the
most difficult thing in life. To see it
even is difficult. do not know what it
is in man that always makes him enam-

tomorrow and tomorrow. Today we
will dream and plan and postpone; to-

OLD AGE

u may be, when this city of the nine gates
Is broken down by ruinous old age,
And no one upon any pilgrimage
ZONES knocking, no one for an audience waits
And no bright, foraying troops Of bandit
moods
hide out on the brave folly of any quest,
But WEAKNESS, the restless shadow of rest,
Hoveringly upon the city broods-
1t may be, then, that those remembering
And sleepleas watchers on the crumbling
towers
Shall lose the count of the disastrous hours
Which God may have grown tired of reckoning.

Ramie Culture.

The United States department of ag-
riculture is giving due attention to dis
covering the possibilities of ramie cul-
ture. 1t is believed and SO reported by
the officials of the fiber investigation
division that "there is great future
for ramie as a valuable textile for fab
RIGS of all kinds, for wearing apparel,
for carpets and for decorative work.
The main trouble seems to be the inven-
ton of ramie gin which will success
fully decorticate the fiber. The chief OF
the fiber investigation division says
that cotton was never of great value moi
superior wealth producer until the in
vention of a successful cotton gin. He
predicts for ramie a greater and more
lasting career in the commercial world
when a successful ramie gin shall be
placed upon the market.

a single tree is able through it's leaves
to purify the air from the carbonio acid
arising from the respiration of con-
siderable number of men-as many as

the course of "a hours is estimated at
100 gallons, and single square yard of

The Coming of Babv.

The Coming of Baby.
When baby comes to the house real
happiness comes. The care and anxiety
connt for nothing against the clinging
touch of the little hands and the sound OF
the little voice. The highest function
given to human beings is bringing
healthy, happy children into the world.
Over thirty years ago the needs of women
appealed to DR.. Pierce, now chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, of Buffalo N. Y. The
result of his study improved by thirty
years practice is embodied in DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t strengthens
purifes and makes healthy the organs
distinctly feminine. 1t gives weak wo.
men the strength and health necessary
for the production of healthy children
and it makes the bearing of those children

At the sugar makers convention at
st. Adams, AT What Price Can Maple
Sugar Be Produced at Profit?" was a
topic which brought out much interest
ing discussion. led by e. H. Soule of Fair
field, as reported in The New England
Homestead. He thought it difficult
question, as the expenses of preparation,
etc., were as great in poor season as
in good one, thus making the expense
per pound of sugar more in the first in
stance. He advised buying only the best
apparatus, believing it cheapest in the
end. Results of his figuring made
cents per pound a conservative estimate
of the cost of production. Through later
discussion the opinion was brought out
that owing to existing conditions in
different localities it is possible for
some sugar makers to turn off the prod
uct at less than others could possibly
do. G. H. Abel Of Enosburg Falls said
that from his own practical experience
it is necessary for producers to get al
least u cents III order to secure fail
return for investment. He advocated q
national law to protect the pure product.

The Trench system.

The trench system in the culture OF
potatoes, which Rural New Yorker has
been calling attention to since about
1883, is still opposed by that authority,
which says in summing years of expert
ence:
We have been taught by these expert
ments that no one may say at just what
depth potatoes should be planted; that
no one may say what the size of the
seed should be; that no one may say
just how much or what kinds of ferti-
lizer he should use, and this because the
seasons vary. But this one thing we
have learned-viz, that let the season
be what it may, let the soil be what it
may, the trench system is helpful in
the way of securing larger product

Directions In Detail For the Construc-
ton of Durable Frames.
AS the construction and management
Of hotbed, though matter of general
garden information, is not well under
stood by most farmers it may not be out
Of place to give at this time these direo-
tions regarding their construction from
the Denver Field and Farm:
The most important item of expense
will be the sashes. While a single frame
of two sashes can be made to serve a
very useful purpose as hotbed, four
more sashes to accompany these as cold
frames would answer very much bet
ter purpose, and many large families,
once accustomed to such gardening,
would find dozen sashes part of their
equipment that they would not again do
without. The usual size Of such sashes is
by feet, holding three rows of 10 by
10 inch glass, six lights to the row.
Double strength glass Of A grade will
be found the most profitable to ute in
the long run, as it does not break as
readily as the lighter and cheaper
grades. Pine stock u inches thick
when dressed gives the best weight.
Make the stiles az inches wide, and
the rails A inches. No cross mountings
are used, but two bars u inches wide
run the length of the sash. These, with
the stiles and top rail, are rabbeted one
fourth inch wide and one-half inch deep
to receive the glass, which laps like
shingles and the lowest light projects
over the lower rail, which is only one
inch thick.
In pinning the sashes the holes should
be bored from the underside not quite
through, SO as not to allow the leaking
of water from above. Through the mid
die of the stiles and bars afive-sixteenth
inch iron stay rod is run just beneath
the glass for the double purpose of pre-
venting spreading and the sagging of
the bars. The lights of glass should be
figmly set, with large points and short
brad at each lower corner to keep them
from slipping down and then well put
tied. One of these sashes complete weighs
40 pounds, and it is believed that it will
last enough longer than cheaply made
one to we'll repay the extra cost The
frames to support the sashes may be made
movable, 6 feet square, or fixed in rows
to suit the demand.
A good movable frame is made of one
inch stuff, 10 inches high in front and
IS at the back, strengthened at the COW
ers with pieces of 2 by 4 scantling.
This gives slope of eight inches to the
south for the sashes. The sides should be
made the thickness of the sash higher
than the front and back, wit cleat on
each side flush with the front and back,
on which the sash will rest. A four
inch piece of board through the middle
of the frame, where the sashes meet, is
dovetailed into the front and back so
that it can be readily removed for filling
or sowing and then be put i'll place as
slide for the sashes to move upon. A four
inch strip should be nailed across the
back from side to side and even with
the top of the sides of the frame. A
stationary row of frames may be built
in a similar way of any rough lumber
at hand that can be made tight enough.
