1Good.by to Dobbin, the faithful and
sturdy old farm horse. No longer will
the plowman homeward plod his
weary way Instead he will simply
turn on the second speed Of his agri-
cultural motor car and go dashing up
the lane to the farmhouse at the rate
Of twenty miles an hour.
In the early months of 1902 what
proved to be the first successful gaso.
line agricultural motor appeared, con
testing at nearly all the great agri-
cultural. competitions of the season in
England and carrying off the gold med
ais from the horse in every contest.
Flowing proved to be the first phase
Of farm labor to which the. agricultur-
al motor was introduced and at which
four years ago it made it's initial repu-
tation. Steam engines have proven
too heavy for the soft land being
plowed and here the agriculturists ex-
pected to nire the internal combustion
motor, but he signally failed. For a
blowing test among horses, steam
power and the gasoline motor two and
three-quarters acres Of very heavy
clay soil were selected. It was con-
dition that the burrows were to be
hine inches wide and six inches deep.
In doing the work nine horses, three
to plow, with three drivers and three
boys, did the work at total cost of
1925, Or at the rate Of 1898 an acre.
BY steam power the total cost of plow-
Ing the same area amounted to $3.50,
or $4.08 an acre, and with the gasoline
motor the cost totaled $4.44, or at $1.97
an acre. For blowing purposes a
three-furrowed plow is invariably
used except in heavy clay soils, where
3 couple of burrows prove sufficient

Plaque Of Crocodiles.

Says the Panang Gazette OF certain
conditions In the Malay peninsula:
The number of crocodiles in the
vicinity Of Penang and Province Wei
lesley is on the increase. It seems
that fishermen who get them entan-
gled in their nets often release them
to prevent their nets from being dam
aged and to save themselves the trou-
BILE Of killing them. The authorities
might offer rewards for the destruc-
ton of these reptiles, as was custom
ary few years ago."

all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
. builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
Tour children, three sons and q
daughter,
In those good old fashioned days 1t
was common for mothers to make
their own homo medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained q won

critics Of tho 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 al nature so
Ibountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods Of
Ill kinds; 90, if wo but take tho pains
TO ind them, in the roots and herbs
OF tho field there are remedies ex-
ipressly designed to cure the various
Ills and weaknesses Of the body, and
1t was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-

Chief Of these was q rare combina.

and herbs found best adapted for the

hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and 1t 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 tho 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 E. Pinkham's

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which wa.
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,
Then came tho question of selling
1t. for always before they had given
1t away freely. They hired job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth tho merits of the nee i
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham'a
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York. and Brooklyn.
The wonderfulcurative properties Of
the medicine were, to great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used il
recommended it to others, and tho do
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. Pinkham and her Vego'
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 year,
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively n she could have done il
herself.
During her long and eventfu1 expe.
rience she was ever methodical in he1
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 thousands-received
careful study, and the details, includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and resulta
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 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 it's 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 bel
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of q large family, tool
it up. With women assistants, some al
capable as herself, the present Mrs,
Pinkham continues this greatwork, and
probably from the office of no other
person have so many women been ad.

A GOOD STORY FROM TEXAS.

Here is a sample of the richness

CLIP the following item from paper
published down there.
Last Friday the writer passed by
the home of Harry Bulbrook and
noticed him diligently poking his
hnger around in box of rich al.
luvial dirt which looked for the
world like il might have been dug
from the valley of the Nile, but
Harry assured us on his word of
honor that il hadn't. The dirt
came from his fine farm southwest
OF town, and he Yves going to use il
to fertilize his bed of Johnny jump.
ups and Sweet Williams. This land
is so so rich Harry can't do apv
good at all raising pumpkins on IT,
because the vines grow so fast they
drag the young pumpkins to death
in two or three days. This dirt
fooled Harry bad first time he went
out there, but he knows better now.
lie was standing around on one foot
like lame gander in the sun when
he soon discovered the leg he was
standing on had grown abou. three
inches longer than the other. He
was puzzled as to how to remedy
such an unfortunate defect, when il
was suggested that he stand on the
other leg until they both became
the same length. He tried the re-
medy and 1t worked like charm,
but when he is pyroutting around on
that land now he is very careful to
keep both feet on the around at the
same time.

WHAT NEWSPAPERS CAN DO.

The Baltimore Evening Herald,
in very brief space, shows what
four great newspapers can do when
they take a notion to be heard. The
Herald says:
The Washington Times, exposed
the postofiics grafters six months
before official action against them
was begun.
The ST. Louis Post. Dispatch ex-
posed the ST. Louis boodlen six
months before Folk joined in the
anti-graft campaign which made
him Governor Of Missouri.
The Philadelphia North Ameri.
can fought the Republican ring in
Philadelphia for FIVE years before
the upheavel of last fall.
The New York World supplied
most Of the evidence that aroused
public indignation against the in.
surance grafters.
These are merely some con-
spicuous examples of the effects
Of publicity through the columns of
fearless newspapers.

Court house built at Fairmont ;
and have failed to help pay for the
education of their children and to
maintain the state, is there any
reason why the taxpayers of West
Virginia should not feel aggrieved,

Under the new law, every owner
OF property IN the commonwealth
has received a letter from the re-
spective assessors of the counties,
giving him notice to make a COM
plete, full and detailed statement,
under oath, of al; property of what
soever kind and character he has.
No difference how trivial it maybe
whether it be the old garden hoe
in the backyard, or the chickens
which run in the barnyard-he must
make a true return under the law,
and be under large pains and pen.
alties, if he does not make a com.
plete and full return. Yet when he
sits down at night, in his humble
cottage, with his children around
his knee, TO help him make out this
abstruse statement, he cannot help
but remember the fact that the
great coal combines and corpora.
iions, and their millionaire stock.
holders, are escaping taxation in
West Virginia, just as the Standard
OIL Company escaped for forty
years In the STATE. He cannot help
but resolve in his heart, that there
must be reformation, which shall
bring true reform, decently admin.
istered fearlessly, advocated, and
which shall protect him and his
children from paying the taxes
which the great coal corporations
are dodeing in West Virginia.
The Republican party, which is
having absolute control Of both
Houses and the executive head of
the State, has by its promises to
the people, through its platform,
guaranteed to the common people
that their taxes shall be reduced,
and in accordance with such pro-
misses a new law has been enacted,
requires all persons and corpora
tions to make true and actual re-
turn on all property, real and per-
sonal, and under this law the re.
sponsibility rests upon the party in
power TO see that it is strictly en-
forced. II not, then an outraged
public will rise in its wrath, with
such momentum tlat no human
power can stop it, in order that the
masses OF the people shall get
square deal.
