The American Farmer the Best In the World

The American farmer is the greatest man
in the world to-day because he is master of
the soil-he is gaining in intelligence quite
as rapidly as his products are increasing in
magnitude. Our recent combines of capital
in United States measured in money are
enormous, yet such figures sink into insig-
nihcance when compared to the money,
brain and Drawn invested in agricultural
industries. For instance, the farmers of
Minnesota and Dakota have received $780,
900, 900 for their products in a single year.
The farmer knows what Nature will bring
forth for him from his experience in the
past. He knows if certain seeds are
planted and properly cared for that Nature
will take care of the rest. In the same
way you are master Of your 0un destiny.
Providing your blood is in good order, it
only needs little effort on your own part
to keep healthy and strong-rid your body
of the poisons that are apt to accumulate
attack of the germs of disease. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery makes rich red
blood-by increasing the number of red
blood corpuscles. There is no alcohol in
this great tonic to shrivel up the red blood
corpuscles. As an Alternative extract, made
only of herbs and roots it goes about its
work in natures way. 1t stimulates the
WORKOUT nerves, stomach and heart on
pure blood. Used for over third of a
century it has sold more largely than any
other blood medicine in the United States.
More bottles of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery are sold to-day than ever before
that is a true test of its medicinal value after
thirty-eight years of deserved popularity.

TWENTY-FIVE COASTERS RACE,

; The Wind-Bound Fleet Sails from Portland
Those people who happened to be in
the harbOr or on the Cape shore at
about 7.45 Friday morning saw one of
| the prettiest spectacles that has been
seen in the bay for a long time. Since
the setting in of the stormy weather
the first of the week there have been
many Of the coasting vessels to seek the
harbor to await sailing breeze.
The weather had cleared Friday morn
ing and the vessels had their sails up
early in order to dry them out and as
they lay at anchor with all canvas
spread they formed perfect screen of
vision looking up the harbor.
There was a good strong breeze blow
ing and soon one of the schooners weigh.
ed anchor and started out. One by one
the others followed and in few min
utes there were at least 25 of the craft
speeding out through the harbor en-
trance. They were running before the
wind and many of them had their sails
spread wing and wing.
NO crowd of vessels can get together
In this manner without indulging in the
excitement of race and as they got
fully under way the topsails and fiyine
Jibs were struck and the best men took
the wheel. The crafts were of different
sizes SO that the smaller ones were soon
LETT IN the rear but they had race
among themselves and allowed their
larger friends to 60 their way.
This strung the schooners out pretty
well and after short time they extend
ed IN line from off Port Preble out as
far as the eye could see. Part of the
fleet We're bound east and part west, and
when they reached the open sea they
separated in opposite directions bound
for the different ports.
1t will probably be long time before
so many schconers again go out of the
harbor at once.-Portland Advertiser.

Three Million American Flags.

Patriotism has become the basis of a
great American industry. Because of
the amazing increase of patriotic senti-
ment in this country during the last de.
cade, the manufacture of American
flags has quadrupled. More than three
million star-spangled banners annually
are made of silk and bunting, but these
form only a small portion of the total
number of United States flags that are
born, that live and die between Janu-
airy and January.
In remote farming districts where
ten years ago the national colors were
rarely seen, every suitable occasion
witnesses flag display. The flag has
been added to the household gods from
Maine to California, and from the Gulf
of Mexico to the Canadian line. So far
as individual popularity is concerned,
it ranks with the firecracker on In
dependence Day, and outranks all else
on that day of national patriotic OBJ.

Pink Pills are prompt and thorough rene
dy for all diseases of the blood and nerves.
They tone up every nerve in the body.
They drive out Of the blood the poison that
causes rheumatism. They strengthen the
stomach and make digestion thorough and
comfortable. They are particularly suited
TO the special requirements of the delicate
organism OF woman, correcting all irregu-
larlties and making healthy compilations
and lively spirits.
One of the best things about these pills is
the fact that they do not contain the slight
est trace of any harmful drug. While they
are overcoming disease they are building
up general conditions of good health. They
are sold by all druggists.

THE TRAIL
The call comes, strong and nsistent,
Out of the West, Oh, bark
"Follow through hal and sun the trail
Blazed by Lewis and Clark y
On with the blanket and saddle,
Ride like the devil possessed,
Swift on the way by night and day,
Hit the trail to the West
Sting of the wind in our faces.
Crunching of hOofs ON sand
What'er betide, pause not, but ride
Straight to the promised land.
Whiteness of sails on the ocean,
Cleaning of gold in the hills,
Glory of grain on the harvest vain,
Curling of smoke from the mills.
Off with the saddle and blanket,
kindle our hearth fires spark
Here's all hail to the westward trail
Blazed by Lewis and Clark!

The bands all playing jolly tunes,
Swept through the city's streets,
Taking the Governor home to Holmes,
Whose tap with choicest liquors foam,
And who to best of all his rooms,
| That functionary treats.
Where W. s rare e3oticss fresh supplied
In more than oriental pride
Slept he, and dreamed of wars,
The roar OF cannon broke the day,
The sun arose with cloudless ray,
On warlike brOws the west winds play
| And with the Stripes and Stars.
The war eagle now with sharpest beak
His most ferocious plumes must seek,
And utter his most piercing shrek
Or fall behind the crisis.
That princely company, The Blues,
| Bringing from Portland recent news,
Tramping along the flashing dews
Our waking host surprises.
He who at Buena Vista bled,.
| By ROckland Guards at nine was led,
| The enviOus TilSOn at its head,
To camp mid bugle's cheer.
| There filed before him glittering ranks
Passing from center round to TANKS,
| And vanished on the rear.
What pageant now sa!uies our eyes?
What hOrSeman clad in Warlike guiSe,
| Like Richard and his knights arise
| Upon the tented field?
| IT'S peerless Morrill, with his suite,
Spurning the grass with flashing feet;
10, TllSOn, forth your chief to meet,
And to him homage yield
The bugles of the band out sounded,
Forth from the line the troopers bounded
To meet his Excellency, surrounded
With brave and proud cOrtege.
Six cannon to the muzzle crammed,
Six stalwart men beside them tramped,
| The welcome peal that rocked the camp
Announced the elected lege
| With highest honors of parade
| The line received its martial head,
| Cleaned swords, waved colors, bugles
played
In cheering graduation,
| Cushman and Titcomb, both drew near,
| Companions of his proud career
| From center, flank and thence to rear,
| And when again in station,
Passed in review the whole brigade,
And formed in crowded column stayed,
| While he martial speech essayed,
| And slightly tried their patience
Worn with such tolls the army rests,
| The city fathers rich requests
| Call soldiers and the civic guests,
To festive mrth and rations.
| Fully TO tell forbids our space
| How Palfrey ambled through the grace
| At table, where was Pitchers place
When trenchering first began,
| If Davis took his fiery diet,
| If Smith of pudding or of pie ate,
If Cushman noisy was, or quiet,
And what said General Heagan.
| With toasts and speeches rather slim,
| And courteous answers stiff and trim,
And Pitcher pouring to the brim
''The sparkling beverage"
The duties of the camp were ended,
And to the city marching wended
Civilians with the soldiers blended,
And quit the brilliant stage.

ed in the reports published from time to
time in the Bangor Commercial OF the en-
campments and musters OF the OLD Maine
militia as recorded in verse by Adjt. Gen.
Webster The accounts are the more in
teresting because they contain the names of
many of the officers who commanded the
militia in those days and who are well re-

this vicinity. The following is the account
of the Belfast encampment:
BELFAST ENCAMPMENT.
The rampant sun with flaming mar
Just risen from his Eastern lar
Began nights curtain dark to tear
On August's latest morn;
Ana next the murky Vap0rS leapt
That where PenObscot's waters slept
In stealthy silence landward crept,
And bathed the fields OF corn.
The long-expected day had come.
When Speaking fife and battered drum
And vOlleying musketry and rum
Bling cannon split the sky;
When bayonets of two full brigades
Should glitter mid the flashing blades,
And plumes should wave on thousand heads
And thousand hearts beat high.
At seven O'Clock that prince of steamers,
Flapping the air with all her streamers,
Yelling like fiends with all her screamers,
The Webster swept to town.
Upon her decks in proud array
The Fourth Division stood that day,
While well dressed bands in concert play
The March of Washington.
Now fast upon the sight enlarges

Thousands of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
Success Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that II
Really Does Make Sick Women Well

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored to
health by Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs. Pinkham's Office, and prove this
statement to be fact and not a mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
n this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments.
Why has Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound accomplished its wide
spread results for good?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for quarter OF
century?
Simply and surely because of its ster-
ling worth. The reason no other med
icine has even approached its success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world SO
good for womens Ills.
The wonderful power of Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is stimulant-not because it is
palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the uterine system, positively
CURING disease and displacements and
restoring health and vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures, and physicians
who have recognized the virtue in
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due. If physicians
dared to be frank and open, hundreds
of them would acknowledge that they
constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound in severe
cases Of female ills, rs they know by
experience that it will effect cure.
Women who are troubled with painful
or irregular menstruation, backache,
bloating Tor fatulence), leucorrhna,
falling, inflammation or liberation of
the uterus, ovarian troubles, that
bearing down" feeling, dizziness,
faintness, indigestion, nervous pros
tration, or the blues, should take inn
mediate action TO ward off the serious
consequences and be restored to health
and strength by taking Lydia f. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. Anyway,
write to Mrs. Pinlxham, Lynn, Mass,
for advice. It's free and always helpful.

empty the bowl, just turn the spout
halfway round, and it drains entirely
into the pail, as you can see by the
sketch of the spout piece alone. This
part fits snugly into the pail spout,
so have no rubber to get rotten.
The bottom of the pail is 1R
inches above the bottom of sides, to
guard against puncture from stones
etc, when used in the field or yard;
however, | always milk in the stable,
but even there the bottom is just as
well raised. The handle is in line with

way as you sit down to milk, and Is

'In all these years | have not had
a cow get her foot in the spout but

cows had a teat cut by her neigh
Dor stepping on it, piece being cut

| used my pail, no trouble for three
teats, but for the cut one | held the
spout of my pail in my left hand and
MIXED into it, while the COW did what
she could to assist; when the bowl
was nearly full, put it in place in
the pail, drained 1t, and then used it
again free from the pail. From my
pail as a model, another pail could be
made for less cost, and there is no
