MruEm n, a Sewer

Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is the most eff
Gent treatment for chronic kidney
troubles of women, and is the only med
icine 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
sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia h. 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.

had to endure A arrangement of the female
organs developed nervous prostration and

WHEN HANGING PICTURES.

Study suitability Of subjects when
assigning pictures to their position,
as a picture that is suitable in one
room may be entirely out of keeping
with the general character and pur-
pose of another.
Do not crowd pictures. Too few ala
preferable to too many, and plair
spaces are restful in their effect.

drawings show the artists work aid

when hung fiat against the wall-no,
tilted.
Never hang glossy picture opposite
a window, and never hang any picture
so high that it is hard to look at.
Do not hang pictures in pairs, anG
10 not hang two from one hook if the
wire on both shows-the oblique lines
made by the two wires are very OBJ.
iectionable.
A picture which shows heavy shad.
ows should be hung with the shadows
away from the window, to make the
shadows seem natural ones.
Pictures are less apt to get skewc6

hung on two hooks instead of one. Ths
lines of the wire are less Objectionable

best effect is secured.-Prairie Farmer

to see out to the street, then it is not
good policy to cover up the front of the
house closely. 1t is better to have good
circulation of air and the house looks
better when the view from outside isnoi
entirely shut off. A thick shade is not
needed in front, because no one has time
to sit out there in the morning or dur
ing the day when the sun is hot, but the
good wife likes to take her work out onto
the side or back porch when she has
something to do that she can sit down to.
If there is good healthy trumpet
vine, Virginia creeper or Dutchman's
pipe climbing over a wire trellis sus-
pended from the caves of these back
porches, she will take a great deal of
comfort working there hot summer
days l would rather see an ivy, a
climbing rose or madeira vine climbing
up each column of the front porch, with
few hanging baskets and a bird cage
between. 1t is just as important to
dress up the porch as any other part
of the house, and it requires about as
much study to do it right.

WHAT LIMITS CORN YIELD.
Low Protein Corn More Apt to Do Well
on Land Poor in Nitrogen Than
High Protein Corn.

Regarding the yield of corn it seems
quite possible that upon land whose
productive capacity is limited by the
supply of available nitrogen the low
protein or high starch corn may yield
better than the high protein corn,
provided the two kinds of corn are
equal in other respects, as in germ
mating power, vigor of growth, root
development, etc. My opinion is that
If we have use for high protein corn
we should produce it and by means
of leguminous crops we should pro-
vide the growing corn crop with as
much nitrogen as it can profitably
use. Of course this principle applies
not only to nitrogen, but to all of the
elements of fertility. There is no
economy in allowing any crop to grow
in a half starved condition, any more
than there is in keeping growing ami
mails on a mere maintenance ration.
We should provide not only the nj
trogen, but we should also make sure
that the supply of phosphorus and
potassium is sufficient for maximum
profitable crop yields.
In this connection it may be stated
that the evidence thus far obtained
from soil Investigations in the corn
belt indicates that the supply of nj
trogen is abundant in most soils, in
deed that large amounts of nitrogen
are annually passing off in drainage
waters, that phosphorus and not nj
trogen is the element which commonly
limits the yield of the corn crop, and
that the chief effect of clover upon a
succeeding crop of corn is due to the
phosphorus liberated by the decaying
clover residues, the fixation of nj
trogen being of secondary import
