Mrs. III. Wri att

Mrs. Pinzham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while il causes disturb
ance similar to ordinary Indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterinetonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright. Brooklyn, n. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia Il. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes
"For two years | suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that
was unable 10 attend TO my daily duties.
felt weak and nervous and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach. i tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. | was adj
vised TO give Lydia T.. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to fin1 that il acted like a fine tonic, and in a
few days began. to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks | was a well woman. j have rec
commended it TO many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement, or has such record OF
cures of female troubles. as has Lydia
Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Planting Early Potatoes.

For early potatoes we pillow the Ian
as soon as the frost is out, then mark
out rows about three feet apart with
the pillow, making the furrow about
seven inches deep. When the pota.
toes are dropped we again take the
plow and cover them by throwing up
large ridge similar TO a sweet pota-
to ridge. In about or weeks after
planting we run over it with a lever
harrow, with the teeth down, thus
making it level and in this way the
ground is not as liable to wash. Pc.
tatoes planted this way are secure
against the freezes which are liable
to come in the last of March and early
April. The ridges can be leveled off
after the freezing season has passed.
We generally plant about the first OF
March.-R. II. Kline, Johnson County,

How the Terrorists Were Caught.

Gradually many interesting details
surrounding the recent arrest in Rus
STA OF band of about dozen terror
lists are leaking oat. The capture,
which is regarded by the authorities
as being of immense Importance. was
accomplished by Kashorsky. the Rus
sian Sherlock Holmes. who was dis
missed from the secret police several
years ago on account of his connec-
tion with Philippe. the spiritualist, who
created such a stir at court. and who
then went 10 Paris 10 live. Perhaps
the most romantic feature is the fact
that Mile. Leontieff converted two
nieces of Governor-General Trepoff,
Mile Trepoff ami Princess Deinsheff.
to the doctrine Of assassination and
that after the arrest Of her mentor
Mile. Trepoff actually attempted the
life Of her uncle. firing two shots at
him. both of which missed. Thereupon
the two girls became panic-stricken
and attempted suicide. Mile Trepoff
throwing herself under train and
Princess Deinsheff shooting herself.
Neither Of them succeeded in killing
herself. The family has since tried TO
make it appear that the girls acts
were the result of q mutual pact for
self-destruction, both being in love
with the same man, an officer Of the
guards.

AGRICULTURE
Prenare the Land Well.

Every year we see farmers here
and there obtaining yields Of crops
far above the average for the country
or for their community. There are
various causes for this, one of the
most common being the better con-
dition in which these crops are put
into the ground. An excuse that is
very often given for the practice OF
slipshop methods in seeding is that
the land is in such shape that good
job cannot be done.
There are sometimes conditions OF
weather that justify such excuses but
in the main they are not well founded.
The seed bed could be put in good
shape and the seed put in good condi-
ton If enough work were put into
the operati"c With much OF the
ground unstirred and the balance in
poorly pulveriZed conditicl, much OF
the seed left on top of the ground, is
1t any wonder that we have low
yield OF crops in many cases?
1t goes without saying that more
work 10 a given amount of ground is
required to put the crop in in good
shape than to do the seeding in a
slip-shod manner, but it does not re-
quire any more work in proportion TO
the amount of crop secured. On new
lands and in favorable seasons fairly
good results may be obtained by
spreading the operations out over a
large area, but in the older lands,
stocked with weed seed and more or
less denuded of their vegetable mat
ter thorough work is what counts.
/ The more worn and depleted,
/ through neglect, the land becomes the
more work will be necessary TO de-
velop a good seed bed and the more
essential a good seed bed becomes.
The action of the vegetable matter in
regulating the temperature, moisture
conditions, and rendering soluble
mineral plant food in a good soil, must
be replaced largely by more efficient
cultivation in the poorer soils. The
man who styled cultivation as the
poor mans manure was not so far
wrong. For while it cannot take the
place, entirely, of this essential fac
tor OF rich soil it may be made to
lessen materially the evil effects oil
its absence.
The thoroughly prepared seed bed
has several advantages over the one
poorly prepared. The seed can be
well covered so that all will get good
strong start. 1t will provide a warm
er condition of soil and better mois
ture conditions that will push the
crops along more rapidly. The plan
food will be dissolved and ready fol
the use of the plants at an earlier
date by eason of the better condition
. of the soil. This is especially true
, of the heterogeneous portion, as the
nitrates will not be formed at all un
til certain favorable conditions of TEN
perature. moisture and aeration have
been reached.
The Importance of having the plan
food ready at an early date will b,
more fully appreciated if we will keel
in mind the fact that most of the min
eral food is taken up by the plant dur
. ing the early stages of growth, and 1
: liberal supply is not available a
this time the crop will suffer. In tn,

fourths of the mineral plant food i

Barren Stalks Of Corn.

is not really known. II has been as.
