NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How n Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life wretched fur
Mnny Years.

The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most OF them come from poor
or poisoned blood. in anania the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood ahsorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irriiafes
the nerves and produces pain. hi risen-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poisor
in the blood produces like discomfort. I'm
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect tho
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew tina
blood and the pain disappears perm2~
nently. Women IN particular have found
these pills al unfailing relief in head
aches caused by anamia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said: cdr.

Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. Lydia T.. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is the most efficient treat
ment for kidney troubles of women,
and is the only medicine especially
prepared for this purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region Of the kidneys or notices a brick
dust sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means of
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.
Sawyer.
Il cannot express tho terrible suffering /

organs developed nervous p~rostration and a

weak stalks by hand; the work may be
easily and much more eXpeditiously

STARTING RIGHT WITH THE COLT

Many a colt has been spoiled by some
fool man who worked on the principle
that the animal must be shown who was
master. ard that this could only be done
by making the animal fear the man. 1t
IS not an easy task to break a horse OF
bad habits but there is not one colt I'm a
thousand but what can be brought up
solely by indness firmly applied. Once
let the colt fear the man and there Is
trouble TO the end. On the other hand If
the young horse Is ruled by kindness, with
out the whip and without the loud harsh
word there will be no trouble. OF course
one must be firm and teach the young ami
NAL the laws of obedience, which is not
difficult. Expert horsemen claim that a
moderate but firm tone will have more
effect on a horse than a loud tone, which
invariably incitcs fear. Speak to the colt
or the horse in accordance with what Is
required of him. Pet him occasionally
make him comfortable. do not whip him
and he will love and obey YOU. Even the
kind word will nave a most remarkable
effect On ule old horse who has hitherto

We're left. AS a matter of fact, the
fable is said to have originated in an
actual episode. During the Irish rebel

leave them to fight. Surprised one
night at this brutal sport, a soldier
drew his sword and by a cut across
their tails set the cats free. The pres
ence of the two tails was explained BIZ
saying that the two cats had fought
till only their tails were left.

IMPORTANCE OF HUMUs IN THE



All farms that have been worked for
years are not worn out If they have been
fairly well fortified. In the majority of
cases lack Of humus or vegetable matter
in the soil is the cause of the poor crops.
There are farms where this is not needed
except occasionally and once green ma
nuTing is sufficient for several years; on
the other hand when the soil needs yege-
table matter it needs it badly and all of
the commercial fertilizer one can heap
upon 1t will not mend matters. The farm
that has been largely MANFRED
from the stable is not likely to be so bad
ly in need of humus as the farm which
has had commercial fertilizers most of
the time. While some of the vegetable
matter is expensive to apply there is
nothing more satisfactory nor cheaper in
the end than clover If one can get a good
catch of it. Often times a mixture will
accomplish the purpose. We have had
excellent success by sowing clover and

COTTON SEED MEAL FOR PAS
TURE COWS.

The writer has not believed much in the
idea of granting cows during the SUMMED
until recently; perhaps this opinion was
due to the unusually good pasture the ami
mails had as well az TO the low price eh-
tanned for milk in the summer which did
not seem to warrant the feeding of grain.
Last year a little experimenting was done
with cottonseed meal and the results were
most satisfactory; this year the feeding
has been o a little differently and with
even better results. Our cows still have
the excellent pasture, but in addition, are
given a daily ration of one pound of cot
tonseed meal, one pound of corn meal and
two pounds of a mixed feed composed
largely of wheat TIL increase in flow Of
milk and the better quality proves by
figures that 4 pays The cost of trying the
plan is small and the result Will be quick
ly ascertaihed. Try it for a month and

THE SEASON FOR CATCH CROPS

The article on green manuring elsewhere
in this department this week should be
supplemented with the advice 70 keep
something besides weeds growing on the
soil during the summer and fail. Possibly
not all Of the catch crops can be fed. but
any Of them may be plowed under and thus
add humus to the soil. Cowpeas can be
sown now and the growth plowcd under to
ado both nitrogen and humus TO the soil

KEEP POULTRY GROUNDS CLEAN


Much has been written in this depart
ment concerning the necessity for keeping
the poultry houses clean both winter and
summer but IT IS just as important that
the grounds over which poultry run be
Kept sweet and clean. One of the best
methods of purifying soil or, which fowls
have run is to spade 1t up and then cover
1t with fine lime allowing this to remain
Cor t~wenty-fouT hours and then spading
it under. If the run is grass covered il
may be purified by using "A mixture made
oy dissolving one pound of copperas in
.wo gallons of boiling water and adding
one gill Of sulphuric acid. When the COM
pound is cold place ii in a sprinking pot
and sprinkle the grounds thoroughly, not
turning the fowls on TO the grounds until
twenty-four hours later. This same mix
cure may be used on bare grounds IL IL
Ices not seem desirable to spade the soil,
and II may also be used with good effect
as a spray on the walls of the poultry
house. During the summer 1t Is not pos
sible TO have the houses and grounds too

SUMNER SETTING OF STRAW.

While there is no question about the
value of strawberry plants set In the
spring over those set in the fall, except
where the winters are very open, the mid
summer set plant gives one the advant-
age of a portion Of a season Of growth
which will count big in the next fruiting
season. The method of setting pot-grown
plants is known TO most strawberry grow
ers but IT is expensive If one has to buy
the plants. If the plantations are TO he
increased from the old beds then one can
readily Obtain their own pot-grown plants
using the method described i'm this depart
ment before. 1t must not be inferred,
however, that only ~pot-grown plants can
be set in midsummer; we have had splen-
did success with layer plants by the fol-
lowing method. Strong layer plants are
selected, the first on the runner next TO
he parent plant, carefully dug and set in
soil that had been we'll prepared. The
work was don in July and, as there was
no rain soon after the plants had TO be
GateTed twice after setting, which was
a big job. A little strawberry fertilizer
was scattered about each plant after set
ting and they grew finely so that when
early fan came they had made a good
start. Because of their tenderness they
were lightly muIched in the late fall after
growth stopped and an additional mulch
was put on Just before the ground broke
up in the very late winter. The crop the
following season was all to be desired.

THE MAN AHEAD.

In every paper we pick up we're sure
to find a lot of silly gush about the
man who is behind. There is the man
behind the counter, and the man behind
the gun, and the man behind the buzz
saw, and the man behind his son, the
man who is behind his rents, the man
behind the plow shares and the man
behind the fence, the man behind the
whistle and the man behind the bars,
the man behind the kodak, and the man
behind tine cars, and the man behind
his fists, and everything behind nothing
is entered on their list. But they've
skipped another fellow, of whom moth
ing has been said-the fellow who is
ever a little. way ahead: who always
pays for ali he gets, whose bills are
always signed-he's a blamed sight
more important than the man who is
behind. All editors and merchants and
the whole commercial clan are indebted
for existence to this honest, noble man.
He keeps us all in business and his
town is never dead; and so we take off
our hats to the man who is ahead.
