and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator. and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent eases BY tradition and eX-
perience many of them gained Won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; 50, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies eX-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective mcdi-
cincs for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure OF the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen.
NAL year dawned it found their prop.
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia f. Finkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
SO good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filing a gross or bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired a job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits OF the medi-
cine, now called Lydia Z. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine We're, to great extent,

recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.

hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annn-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live 30 see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve record of every case that came to
her attention The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were hOuSands-received
careful study, and the details, includ-
| ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, arc
available to sick women the world
over, and represent a vast collabora-
ton of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia f. Pinl1ham worked her
daughter in law, the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell tho
direction of the work when it's origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when tho
first Lydia Il. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work and

of the most important questions
which must be dealt with by the stock
raiser, and in this connection it may
be advantageous to consider the plan
OF an Illinois feeder as described in a

edgewise into the ground. The feed
hunks are placed inside the shed, as
shown in the cut.
The yards and shelter are designed
TO accommodate about so cattle In
dry weather the cattle remain in the
larger yard a considerable portion of
the time. The advantage of the pave
ment is chiefly in giving the cattle
easy access to water and shelter. "A
steer will generally eat pretty well,
even standing in the mud" says Mr.
Chester, but my experience has been
that a fat steer will take less water
than he needs If he must work to get
to it, and will not take proper advan-
tage of shelter unless it is where he
can reach it easily. There is no ques-
ton in my mind of the wisdom Of
paving the area adjacent to water and
shelter in a muddy locality"
The shelter consists of building
20 by 26 feet 20-foot posts, with two
wings, each 20 by 80 feet. The por-
ton used as cattle-shelter is thus 20
by so feet. On the upper floor of the
middle portion is stored dry corn-fod-
der run through an ensilage cutter.
This is fed into the hunks below,
through an open shaft at the front of
the bin. Another bin 10 by 20 feet
occupies the lower floor of the main
building. and corn can thus be stored
a few steps from the feed hunks so as
to be fed easily by basket If desired.
