A Natural Remedy,

That the remedy is sometimes worse
than the disease is again shown by an
incident chronicled in the New York
Times. A prominent politician has a
wife who is model Of domestic care
fulness. She has a talent for making
bread, and takes great pride in having
her loaves urn out well.
One evening she had set the batch OF
dough to rise in the kitchen and was
reading in the parlor, when her 6-year-
old boy came running to her, crying,
Mamma. mamma. there's mouse

Comfort in the Hog House.


In repairing our hog houses we
found that roll of building paper and
one of tarred paper We're the best in
vestments we had made in some time;
the one was used ON the walls and the
other on the roof so that much more
expensive repairs were saved. Then
we found it was policy to arrange the
sleeping corner in such way that it
filth or the wet which the swine gath
cred during the day. 1t was placed SO
that none Of the slop got into it and
about the only way it got soiled was
when the swine trampled through it
with their muddy feet Even then by
taking it out into the sun each day it
made good bed for a number of
nights. A hog is strange animal,
stubborn, of course, but it will not long
muss its bed if the latter is clean and
comfortable. Much of the nastiness of
hogs is due, to the neglect Of their
owners. We also arrange the sleeping
corner so that it is out of the draft,
although the house is properly venti-
lated; as result there are few if any
cases of chills and colds among our
swine. All this extra good care means
healthy swine. 1t is not we'll to work
on the plan that if the hogs escape
cholera they are doing, well.-Ex'

Proper Storage of Apples

To decide properly to which kind Of
storage the grower or buyer shall send
his fruit requires the best of Judgment,
for many factors must be considered in
making the choice and upon their just
balancing will depend. to quite an eX-
tent, the profit or loss in handling the
crop. Growers, generally, are more in
terested in storage this year, probably
than usual TO all growers, to those
who usually hold more or less of their
fruit for winter sale or home use, and
to the buyers who must plan for the
best keeping of the purchased fruit,
the bulletins Of the agricultural expert
ment stations will be of interest and
value. One Of these discusses critically
the factors which influence the keep
ing quality of apples, as ascertained
through many years experience at the
station or by correspondence and in
tervieWS with the leading apple hand
lerS of the country. 1t also gives de-

Frequent backache and distressing

the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
rs how can a woman who has some fe-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, of SO Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark, writes:
My Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
During the early part of my married life
was deliccte in health both my husband and
were very anxious for child to bless our
home, but had two miscarriages, and could
not carry child to maturity. A neighbol,
who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. I
did SO and soon felt that l was growing
stronger, my headaches and backaches left
me, / had no more bearing-down pains, and
felt like a new woman. Within a year 7
became the mother Of a strong, healthy
child, the Joy of our home. Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is certainly a
splendid remedy, and I wish every woman
who wants TO become mother would try it. :"
Actual sterility in woman is very
rare. If any woman thinks she is ster-
Ale, let her try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and write to Mrs
Pinllham, Lynn, Mass. HcE advice is
free to expectant or would-be mothers.

Wintering Fall Calves.

If the calf is worth carrying through
the winter it is certainly worth caring
for properly and by properly is meant
good food and water and proper care.
If the calf is strong and healthy it
ought to pay well for the best atten-
ton that can be given it; first of all it
needs a dry, clean place, not warmed
by artificial heat, but as warm as lack
of draughts in a comfortable stable
will make it. The early days of the
calf. just after weaving, are of great
Importance to it and too much care
cannot be taken to see that the milk
given it is absolutely fresh and pure
and fed in proper quantities.
AS rule, the calf will properly take
care of eight pounds Of milk per day,
which amount can be gradually in
creased antil at a month old it is con-
Stunning twelve pounds daily. About
this time it ought also to become ill.,
terested in hay and after a while will
begin chewing its cud. A calf built I'D
in this manner during the winter will
be in excellent shape to turn out to
PASTURE in the spring and get most of
its living until fall, when you will have
a sple add animal, one you will be
proud TO add to your herd.

Quick Cunning.

A novelty at the large agricultural
show in London is a churn which is
reported to make butter in sixty Sec
onds. The cream is placed in the YES
sci so that the "dasher" is in the cen
ter, and about ~ inches below the
surface. The handle is then turned
slowly for a few seconds, and then at
good speed, and within one minute
butter is formed. If some fresh cold
water be poured in and the handle
turned slowly two or three times, the
butter is ready for washing and max
ing up.

Courses are offered in zoology, bot
