BEARDED
WOMEN.

Designing men, through a1iuring and cum
ningly worded advertisements, constantly
endeavor to work upon the feelings of sick
and ailing women by inviting them "towrite
to z00HfGH CD and secure a zO0ntdH'y sym
pathy." 1t is well to remember that the
best sympathy is to be had at home and not
from strangers. perhaps hundreds of miles
distant The object of the sick is to get well,
and however precious sympathy may be, it
never yet cured seriously afflicted woman.
While the sympathy of your milliner or
! dressmaker might be appreciated and be
just as beneficial, if not more so, than SYM
pathy from stranger, yet it can not effect
your cure if you are an ailing woman.
It is loudly proclaimed through the press
that a woman can best understand a
woman's ailments, and on this ground sick
women are invited to write to a woman y
aud get the benefit of woman's advice.
The sort of understanding of her ailments
wanted by sick woman is trained medi-
cal understanding If a woman has this
trained medical knowledge she understands
woman ailments not as a zconan, but as a
! 1hysfcidH If she is not doctor she cannot
understand the ailments at all, and cannot
treat them successfully, because she lacks
the necessary training.
AS far as known, there is no regularly
| qualified woman physician connected with
any proprietary medicine especially de-
signed for women-no one, therefore quail

1t is certain that there is no one, man or

Fodder Crops Grown without Was
of Soil Fertility.

Fodder Crops Grown without Waste
of Soil Fertility.
Successive corn growing is wasteful
of fertility mainly because it does not
permit reseeding with clover, by which
means the surface soil is protected
from blowing or washing away in win
ter. In the west successive corn crops
wasted the large supplies of vegetable
matter that the prairie soil originally
held until the land became too wet
and unproductive for profitable cult
walton. Besides. growing corn for grain
on the same land year after year de-
veloped so much corn smut on the ears
that the crop could not be longer
grown.
But where corn is grown for fodder
and sown so thickly that it will not
ear two or three crops of corn it may be
grown in succession and sometimes
with advantage. 1t can only be done,
however, by sowing with the corn aft
er the last cultivation some crop that
will make a covering for the soil dur
ing the winter.
AAC anu CIlU1COn ClONCA oOnn W
gether in August make a good COM
bination. If it is in a locality where
September sown crimson clover will
live through the winter. that should be
sown alone and in August if possible
so as to get better growth before fall.
We should advise sowing some crimson
clover seed with the rye in September,
even where the winters are severe.
The grain will protect the clover TO
some extent, and if the clover is killed
out it will fertilize the grain in spring.
Then in winter draw all the manure
that the previous corn crop has made
to the land, and spread it evenly. This
will be still further protection for the
crimson clover. The rye and some
clover will make an early growth in
the spring, before time to pillow them
under for another crop of fodder corn.
After two or three crops of corn
grown thus the land should be seeded
with red clover. whose roots will go
down to the subsoil for fertility that
has been washed down to it. says The
American Cultivator in presenting the
foregoing advice.

Profitable Ducks.

Picking ducks in the United States
have proved by far the most profitable
of all breeds when raised for market
on a large scale. Several thousand
young ducks are often yarded on five
acres of ground-making the ground
by the way, intensely rich-but the
most successful duck farms have large
areas available for the cultivation of
green feeds for the growing stock
root crops and green food of various
kinds. Ducks will consume an i'm
mense amount of green food. and such
feeding is considered necessary to keep
thenb in best condition for early lay
ing. The most profitable time at which
to market ducklings is considered to be
when they weigh about five pounds
They will then be in the neighborhood
of ten weeks old and will have cost
to raise about 20 or % cents each, says

the worthy educator lays no claim to

is termed the booty prize" fell to him,
and this time it took the form Of q
double yolk egg. with the following
sarcastic legend attached:

The professor smilingly accepted the
reward, and after it was passed around
and joked upon he finally slipped it
into the side pocket of his oyereoat
and then straightway forgot its exist
ence.
When the party broke up, he accom-
panied two young ladies to their
home. When they reached the house
and the Iatchkey was produced and
used, 1t was found that the front door
was locked so tightly that it refused
to yield to ordinary pressure. So the
professor put his hip against a panel
and pushed hard
There was duh crash, mild yell,

convulsively cIutched at his side.
