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 8 gross Of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired 6 Job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used IL
recommended it to others, and the de.
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
lily had saved enough money to COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success OF
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia e. Pinlzham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house.
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live to 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 IL
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 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, are
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 E. Pinkham 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 the
direction of the work when its origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia e. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work, and
probably from the Office of no other
person have SO many women been ad.

men, this advice is ''Yours for Health"

Gen. Gilman Marston, of Exeter N.

stories, had no very exalted opinion of

Gen. Marsten retaliated as follows:

age Of twenty he was eighteen inches
high, but before attaining the age of

of limited intelligence, but of intense
vanity and large self conceit. It is as
serted by many scientific authorities
that this is a characteristic of dwarfs.

float in the water with only their eyes
showing. When they see a flock Of
these fat, juicy little birds they dive
to the bottom Their long. wide snout
scoops up some Of the loam, and they
float to the surface, again with just the
rich soil showing. The birds think it
is an island. They alight upon it.
When the whole family is there the big
reptile turns suddenly. Just as the
birds scramble Off he opens his mouth
once. They are gone The birds are neat
little feeders, and the alligator is an
epicure at this time Of the year. The

of which he is most vain, tender and

Experiment Station. Bulletin s !.

There is one fact that should
be known to every farmer and
prospective settler in this sec
ton of the state, and that is that
in order to make a success of
farming in this section Of the
state, LIVE STOCK MUST BE KEPT
ON THE-FARM and the sales off
the farm largely in. the form Of
butter, meat and eggs.
Through the use of live stock
the profit from every acre under
cultivation may be doubled over
what it would be otherwise. This
IS no theory. Ithas been proven
to be the case the world over
Wherever you find live stock,
a i'd that intelligently cared for,
you find prosperous farmers;
and wherever you find but little
live stock and but little attention
given to it's care, you find impov.
erlshed farms and poor farmers
in every sense of the word.
1t is for this reason that the
Experiment Station has taken up
the work Of dairying and live
stock; and, furthermore, for the
reason that the natural conditions
of Northeastern Minnesota are
most favorable, especially for
dairying. The work is. being
conducted from the most practi-
cal standpoint, believing that it
is not only important to work out
the best system for this section
OF the state, but also 70 demon
strate at thesame time the actual
profit there is in the work, so that
any farmer may do likewise.
We commenced the work with
what stock there was at hand,
making no expensive outlay, but
aiming to make some improve
ment each year.
At the beginning of 1905 the
farm animals, aside from the
horses, consisted of.eleven COWS,
fifteen head Of young stock, two
brood sows, twenty-five sheep
and fifty chickens.
The system is to grow all the
rough feed on the farm fodder
corn, hay and roots, but to buy
what bran and shorts is used.
The cows are bred to begin their
milking period in the fall, in
October, and are MIXED up to
the next July, when they are
given a two months rest. -...
! The steer calves are vealed,
the heifers raised for the dairy.
The young pigs and lambs are
had to come in April. The pigs,
after weaving, are kept on clover
pasture and skim milk, with a
little shorts. In their seventh
month they are fattened on bar
ley, peas and boiled rutabagas,
and sold as bacon pork. From
the two brood sows with their
first litter) fifteen pigs were
raised, attaining weight of 200
pounds at seven months.
! In a later pu blication detailed
report will be given of the profits
from the different classes of live
stock, and the system under
which they are fed and cared for.
In this report tits desired to
call attention especially to the
profits Of dairying; In 1904 we
we're making the change from
summer to winter dairying,
which necessitated carrying the
COWS over a year without fresh
ening; yet, even at this, a fair
profit was made, as was pub
llished in former bulletin.
| The record Of only a few
months is not to be considered a
Ireal measure of either produc-
ton or profit, but 1t will give an
Idea of what may be done. Dur
ing the months Of Novem Der and
December the dairy herd, con
sisting of thirteen cows, pro
