good by letting her suffering friends
know Of this great remedy for women.
You can tell them that over 100000
suffering women have secured health
and happiness and that thousands of
these cured women have written letters
just like Miss Luce's letter. After try
ing to secure relief by other treatments
and securing health by taking Wine of
Cardui, Miss Luce is competent to adj
wise other suffering women, and this
she does in the simple straightforward
words:
every woman who is troubled as was
should certainly give it a trial and am sure
that she will soon be convinced Of its efficacy"
She means that every woman who is
suffering the pains of irregular and
painful menstruation may secure per-

TO CURE EGG-EATIEG.
Positive Reformation Has Followed
the Method Here Outlined BY an
Eastern Farmer.

Almost every one has had trouble
with hens eating eggs. Any one who
has learned much from it will be glad
to learn any way to prevent or cure
it. A poultryman of experience says:
There is nothing more provohinc
and more Improbable than t,oc.
of hens which have acquired the hab-
It of eating their eggs. This is a
habit more easily prevented than
cured. Give the hens plenty of exer-
else with variety of food. Gather
the eggs frequently, provide suhi-
cient resting places and keep one or
more porcelain eggs upon the floor
Of the house. Dark nests are advis-
able, and meat diet is excellent.
To cure the habit provide dark
nests and add meat to the food. Re
move the end from several eggs and
pour out the contents. Make mix.
ture of -four, ground mustard and
red pepper, adding little water to
hold the material together. Fill the
shells and place upon the floor of the
lenhouse. The hens will make a
wild scramble for these prepaSed
eggs, will gobble down some of their
contents, and will soon be gasping
with open beaks. Follow up this
treatment until the hens refuse to
touch an egg. 1t seems and perhaps
is somewhat severe, but no perma-
nent i'll effects will follow. The hens
will soon learn that eggs are not so
palatable as they regarded them, and
will desist from the bad habit. Posi-
tive cures have followed this method

Poor Sort of Economy.

1t is a poor economy that leads to
the purchase of musty and even
mo!dy feed for the fowls. When grain
is spoiled too much for any other use
it is the practice to try to save it by
feeding it to the poultry. 1t is
charged by fanciers that musty grain
is a fruitful source of sickness. We
cannot prove that point, but we are
ready to accept it on its face. 1t is
now well established that some of
the Smuts and molds are poisonou,
in their character. Especially is this
the case with oat smut. Other smuts
have been little examined with this
point in view. Until they are proved

Alfalfs Npt On1y HAS Great Feeaias
vslue. IDst Rivals Clover - .
Ssil NestOrer.

The greas value of alfalfa as q feed
ing stuff. especially in the western and
southern states, is well understood.
This has been established by long prao-
teal experience and by the scien-
titac Investigation of a number Of the
experiment stations. These investiga-
tious have not only demonstrated It's
value as q feed for all kinds of stock,
including pigs and poultry, bn. have
shown the stage Of growth al which
the plant contains the greatest
amount Of nutritive material and the
best ways Of curing and ensiling the
crop.
The value of alfalfa as a fertilizer
has perhaps not received SO much at.
tention, although number of sta
tions have investigated this phase Of
the subject. Prof. Buffum, of the Wy
oming station. has shown that the
crop is especially valuable for increas-
ing the nitrogen of soils of the arid or
semi-arid region. for improving the
filth and for destroying weeds by
crowding them out.
In experiments at this station it was
found that land which had previously
been in alfalfa produced SIS to Sl2 more
value in wheat, $16 worth more in oats
and SIG worth more Of potatoes per
acre than land which had grown po-
tatoes and grain before, and these "in-
creases of yield and value were pro-
duced with absolutely no cost for fer
tilizing the land" The results were
obtained on land which had been in
alfalfa FIVE years. leaving nothing but
the stubble and roots in the soil.
According to analyses reported by
the Colorado station, a ton Of alfalfa
hay contains ~ pounds Of nitrogen,
SGT pounds OF phosphoric acid. 5O.p5
pounds OF potash and 40 pounds of
lime. Alfalfa is leguminous plant
and is therefore able TO draw the
larger part OF its nitrogen from the
air. thus causing an actual increase
Of nitrogen in the soil
1t can readily be seen from the above
figures that IL the alfalfa is turned
under a considerable Increase in the
available fertility will result, but even
II the crop Is removed the soil Is i'm
proved in tilth and fertility by the
shading of the ground and the decay
Of the large, deep growing roots Of
the plant, as WAS demonstrated in the
experiments above referred to.

The Hog ON American Soil.

In an account of the introduction of
swine into America it is stated that
they were brought by Columbus to
liispanola in 1893, and to Florida in
1888 by DE Soto; they were brought
TO Nova Scotia and Newfoundland
In 1859 by the French. and into Canada
in zoos. In 1909 they were brought into
Virginia by English adventurers: and
IS years afterwards it is recorded that
their numbers had SO increased that
the settlement at jamestown had to be
surrounded with palisades to keep them
