The DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter
& Tradition says woman must suf-
fer,nsand young women are so taught
There is little truth and great deal
:of exaggcration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for. examina-
Stion; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.

An Impor,sn. Crop.

Grass is always an important crop
and also an evidence Of good farnl-
ing, as no soil will produce large
crop of grass every year unless the
land is well manured or treated with
fertilizers. Grass is the foundation .foc.
all other crops, as it not only pro-
duces pasturage and hay, but furnishes
sod for the assistance Of the crops
that follow. When the land is in grass
1t is really mulche6 and humus accu-
smulates. The shading of the soil by
the grass is beceicial and the roots so
down deep into the subsoil for plant
food which is brought to the surface,
deposited in the plants and thus rem
dered available for another season.

A Modern Motor Car.

Recently a motor carriage has been
introduced in France which combines
many; novel features. 1t is normally
propelled solely by an oil engine, but
on hilly ground is helped bysan elec-
trio motor. The oil engines works at
constant speed, and when the vehicle
does not. absorb all the engine power
the excess drives the motor as dy-
namo and charges the accumulators.
Then the accumulators are used only
occasionally, and they are kept fully
charged. The engine is directly con-
nected to the dynamo motor, which Is
in turn used to start the engine. The
changes in speed are effected mechan-

Death from Handlin. FERTILIZERS

In view Of the general use Of bone
dust as a fertilizer by farmers and
gardeners, the following case.of an
thrax is of interest. Anthrax is very
fatal disease due to special bacte-
rum. 1t usually occurs in animals,
chiefly cattle; but sometimes the germ
gains entrance into he human body,
and almost Invariably causes death.
Owing to the trades in which 1t Usually

two weeks before his death he had
been engaged in sowing different kinds
of grain along with artificial manure
in the shape of bone dust, his hands,
Sof course, were covered with the latter,
and he frequently used them for
scratching In a few days he noticed
small pimple. This gradually grew
larger and became swollen and in

Winter DaIEyinE.

During the winter months wise
dairyman will always give his cows
winter care.
1 mean by this that his attention to
his dairy. will not be governed by the
vagaries Of the weather.
Some men let their milch animals
run promiscuously over the fields ev-
cry bright or, warm day during the
cold season, but even if they own and
control COWS it would be misnomer
to call such persons dairymen.

the Importance Of warm housing, and
regular. feeding and watering of COWS

think that bovine tuberculosis is
propagated more extensively through
the mediums. of unsanitary stables
than any other cause. Of course the
winter months when the cows are
closely confined gives rise to the most
danger in this direction.

The dairies throughout the land thot

those that are minutely supervised IN
every detail by their owners.
The dairyman who assists in his own
milking, and personally does or as
sists in all of the care and feedingsof
his COWS, is, if he is truly in earnest.
seldom forced to declare that dairying
is failure.
Mix plenty of energy-into your dairy
work this winter, and never go to bed
at night without feeling absolutely Ger
tain that every cow in your stable Is
not hungry or thirsty, or forced to lie
upon damp, filthy floor and breathe
vitiated air.

the end that pure, healthy and proftta-
BILE milk may result.-George E. New

Rules for Feeding Stock.

Each farmer must make his own
rules for feeding, as the amount OF
food required by animals, even when
of the same breed, and of nearly the
same age and weight, differs widely.
Some animals are very dainty, while
Others will accept any kind Of food Of
fered. The standard rules for feeding
according to live weight are valuable
to certain extent, but in all focks
or herds some animals will eat much
more than others. hence the wants of
each individual must be observed and
the animals fed accordingly.

Honey Packages.

In marketing honey in wholesale
way, tin cans or barrels are generally
used. The barrels have the advantage
of cheapness in first cost, which Is all.
They often leak, and thus big lot OF
honey is lost. There is also large
loss due to soakage, for the wood alb
serbs lot of the honey. With thu
cans there is no loss from soakage,
and if the cans are we'll made none
from leaks. Square five gallon cans
are used and should be always en-
ployed for the better grades of honey.
A customer will often take can or
