Farming Under Glass.

Tobacco, oranges and pineapples are
being grown under glass, or shelter,
and those who have ventured into such
work find that the method pays. More
capital must be invested, but a farm
of two acres under glass will give a
larger profit than an ordinary uncov-
cred farm of 100 acres or more. On a
small area only the crops that sell at
the highest prices are grown, and.
while greater expense is incurred. vet
the crops pay. Garden crops are also
receiving attention, and the future will
witness hundreds Of covered small
farms.

a New Hioh-kite Record,

MeteoroIogists are interested in secur
ing observations at high attitudes by
means Of kites, and lately at the aero
nautical observatory at Lindenburg,
Prussia. a record for height was made, Il
kite being sent up to an altitude of d.
100 feet This was accomplished by
sending up six kites attached to each
other by the use Of length Of wirelinc
approXimating $4,000 feet in length. The
instruments carried by the kite recorded
a minimum temperature of -13' +. as
compared with Al i. at the carth's sur
face. At the maximum altitude the wind
blew at Z rate of ffty-six miles an hour
as compared with eighteen miles an hour
at the surface. This maximum altitude

Wounds on Fruit Trees.

An eastern fruit grower says
wounds Of any considerable size
should be given coat Of paint or some
other durable substance. A suitable
dressing must possess two distinct
properties. 1t must check the wealth
ering Of the wound and prevent the
growth of bacteria and fungi, and it
must be OF such a nature as not to in
iure the surrounding bark. The dress
ing is of no value in the healing of the
wound. except as it prevents decay.
For general purposes, a white lead
paint is most satisfactory. 1t adheres
closely to the wood. Wax, shellac. tai
low. etc. are lacking in both respects.
Bordeaux mixture would be an admira-
BILE material for this purpose if it were
more durable -

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness ID
caused by an infamed condition Of the mu-

this tube is infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken ont
and this tube restored TO its normal condl-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases ont Of ten are caused by Ca

Effects of Manure on Lands

Organic matter in manure seems to
be chiefly to make the land work bet
ter, and in absorbing and retaining the
moisture. SO many are disposed to at
tach mysterious value to the eNcre-
ments of animals, and to think that
some special properties are impaired
to these in the transformation of food
through the body of the animal, that
they will not readily accept the idea
that the manuring properties of dung
are confined to the chemical salts
which it contains. 1t must be borne
in mind that experimental fields re-
ceive no manure, nor does any animal
enter them. except the horses which
cultivate them and carry off the crop.
Unless, therefore, the plants can thrive
on chemical salts, they could not be

The OdOr of Onions,

To remove the odor Of onions after
peeling them, rub the hands over with
celery and then wash them in cold
water. Wash the knife also in cold
water by holding it under the tap and
letting the water run over it. Then
dry and polish in the knife machine or
on the knife board. Hot water should
never be used to remove onion juice,
for it causes it to set on the knife
or hands, and thus the disagreeable
odor is retained instead of banished.

Three FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRsT.-That almost every operation
III our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect OF
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing-down pains, nervousness, diz-
ziness and sleeplessness.
SECoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, infam-
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinl1ham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened. read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad-
vising sick women free of charge. Out of
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs. Pinlzham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she does not take
advantage of this generous offer of
assistance.

Straw, corn fodder and rough hay
are known as coarse foods, because
much Of such foods contain either an
excess Of woody fiber and little nu-
triton in proportion to the bulk, or are
not as readily eaten by stock as is good
hay or food of better quality. For
this reason there is a large waste Of
valuable feeding material in the Unit
ed States that might be saved and
used if proper attention is given to
the preparation of foods and the COM
bining of the different materials in a
manner by which all can be utilized,
and a corresponding gain in meat or
milk thereby secured. Millions of

Planning Work Ahead.

Suppose just before the work Of the
spring opens, each field is planned out,
the manure to be applied figured on,
the quantity of seed required and it's
cost, together with the time the field
should be prepared for planting and
about the time required for the work
Then take each item of the work to be
done each week and plan it out careful
ly the day before. So many hours for
this task, so many for that, and so
many for the other, and SO on through
he season. A half hour or even an
hour spent each day III planning ahead
and then working in accordance with
the plan, will save much time and la
Dor. One of our troubles, as farmers,
comes from our Discrimination to sys-
tematize affairs, and we dart thither
and hither and lose much valuable time
daily.

Green Food for Small Chicks.

Green Food for Small Chicks.
AS soon as the little chick begins to
grow feathers, that is, after the down
age is past, green food is quite neceS-
sary to its happiness. If there is no
danger Of the bird being chilled or get
ting wet, then let it have the grassy
run to pick over; even if the weather is
cool, it will do no harm to let the chicks
on to the grass in the warm part of the
day, but they must be watched, so that
they do not stay too long and become
chilled One of the most successful
poultrymen we know makes it 4 prac-
tice to grow a quantity of lettuce in
hotbeds especially for feeding his young
chicks for green food. This seems to be
a good plan in his case, because his
birds are Matched very early, before it
is fit to turn them on to the grass.
Don't attempt to raise young chicks
wholly on grain.
