CURE FOR THRUSH.

Very many horses suffer witt
thrush, or swollen and cracked feet,
often the effects of laminities, etc.
The remedies given by veterinarians,
consisting Of standing the feet in sui
phatc OF copper, etc, are complicated
and difficult to follow. Here is SIM
pie and never failing remedy for this
class of ailments, SO far as local APP
plications go. Raise the foot and
pour on some fine table salt, which
should be pressed into all the cracks
and openings of the foot. Over this
pour small quantity Of coal oil,
holding the foot up until it soaks in
well. One or two applications will
prove effectual.-G. M. Humphreys.

The old packers must reform or so
TO the wall, says tbs New York Trib-
une. The people will not continue to
eat meat prepared under revo. ing con-
ditions. The President has already
rightly changed the form OF inspection
label for canned goods, and If adequate
inspection is not provided he should,
as he plans, refuse to permit any gov
eminent label at all to 60 on canned
goods, for there Is no assurance that
they are properly prepared, or even, as
stated by the present label, that in
spected meat really goes into them
Without such label the export trade
in these goods would be killed, and the
domestic consumer is in no mood to
eat what cannot be sent abroad. The
best thing the packers can do is to set
their house in order and enable drastic
inspection to re-establish faith In their
wares.

ERADICATE THE WEEDS.

One of the great arguments for
rotation of crops is the eradication
of weeds. Weeds we will always
have, SO the problem is to reduce
them t. the minimum. Some weeds
persist in evading the corn cultivatori
but succumb to grass crops; other
weeds, as the cookie burr, mustard,
etc, thrive in grass and grain crops,
but are easily gotten rid of with a
cultivator. But with all our careful
work. some rapid spreading weeds
persist in coming in from neighboring
fields. The main problem of getting
a stand of alfalfa is matter of clean
land. Alfalfa refuses to grow among
rank weeds, but let it get a good
start, and weeds have no chance
whatever.-Rural World.

there Is no one else so poor, except
another millionaire, to be moved to
pity for him, declares the New York

Millionaires must be compassionate

CURE FOR LUMP-JAW.

The following, which is clipped
from a bulletin, may be taken for
what it is worth:
"A dram of iodide Of potash is
given twice day for from two weeks
to twenty days. For cattle weighing
1900 pounds or more the dose is
somewhat increased, and lessened for
calves. II pus is present in the lump,
1t should be let out by incision. In
q few refractory cases second peri
cd of treatment may be required
after resting for ten days. About
e: nty per cent. of recoveries may be
expected. Affected animals should
be kept away from the healthy and
off the pasture field. In the case of
milk cows, the milk should not be
used"

and herbs, natures own remedies

urgent cases. By tradition and ex
perience many Of them gained a won.

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 Sc
beautifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegeta BILE 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 medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief Of these was q rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the Ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to tho 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 20 far was done freely, with
ont money and without price, rs q
labor Of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck

Then came the question Of selling
1t, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired Job
printer to run OF 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 we're, TO a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended It to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
lily had saved enough money to COM

that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured. until to-
day Lydia E Pinkham 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. Pirlsham 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 it
herself
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful TO pre-
serve a record Of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-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 vast cola bora
ton Of information regarding tho
trea tment 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 ha1d-won knowledge, and {
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
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 the I
first Lydia e. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother Of q large family, took
It up. With woman assistants, some a.
capable As herself, the present Mrs.
continues this great work and
probably from the Office of no other
person have 20 many women been ad-
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-

great medicine for women's ailments,

Paris green and lead arsenate will

is to sprinkle fine salt on the infested

as good are obtained when salt is
