Miss feMeDonoidl

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from we'll. The cause nay be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything. b~ackache,
bearing-down pains, tiatulencv. nerv-
business. slecplessness, or other fe-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable csult.
The never failing remedy forallthese
symptoms is Lydia E. P~inkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald Of Woodbridge,
N. j., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
RESTORED health has meant so much to mo
that | cannou heip from telling about it for
the sake Of other suffering women.
For a long time I suffered untold agony
with a female trouble and irregularities,
which made me a physical wreck, and no one
thought | would recover, but Lydia E.. Pink
bans Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and strCng, and
feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what a splendid medicine it is"
For twenty-five years Mrs. Pinkham,
daughter-in-law of Lydia e. Pinkham,
has under her direction. and since her
decease. been advising sick women free
of charge. Her advice is free and
always helpful. Address, Lynn, Mass.

Here are a few helpful don'ts for a
man who doesn't knOw anything about
it:
Don't.
Just plain don't.
Don't be reckless-especially In your
lying.
Don't give to the Lord and then go
u and rob a widow.
Don't acquire the borrowing habit,
or the day will come when you will
run out of friends.
Don't marry an indolent man expect
ing him to brace up, or you may have
to take in washing to pay for the
brace.
Don't be so mean-minded that you
can see no good in a man. He may
be the first to loan you money in time
of need.
Don't spread butter on both sides of
your bread just because you have 50 in
your pockets. An earthquake may come
along and shake the change out of
t~hem.-Denver News.

Marketing Farm Produce.

A small farmer who has made q sue
cess Of marketing his produce gives
sound and ingenious advice in a recent
magazine. His preliminary work sug-
gests Hannah Glasses famous preface
to her instructions for cooking hare:
"First find a lady customer" is his ad-
vice. To her sell nothing but the
choicest Of fruit and produce. 1t will
not be long before h will acquaint
her friends, and they in turn will pass
along the word to others. 1t pays to
sell nothing but the best; the inferior
produce can be fed to stock, and in a
short time the farmer will find he has
a good market and a good price, with
no leakage Of profit to the middleman.

EplaoN's FIGHT FOR PATENT.
Clnim- United states Laws Give Lit

81 happened to be chatting with
Thomas A. Edison, in his laboratory
at Orange, New Jersey. II night while
he was working on his most recent
crcNtion-tlc intensified DYNAMO
SAYS n writer In Success Magazine,
land heard him discuss thoroughly the
injustice that is done inventors in the
United States. This very day he
said. several of my well known pat

and Harry. The government processes
to protect the inventor for seventeen
years. and after that time bis crca-
tion is no longer his own. But, as a
matter of fact, the government does
run in and bring suit. or apply for an
Injunction, %disputing the inventors
patent. already granted by the patent
office. and in all the courts, pending
the longdraWn out litigation which
follows, the other fellow is permitted
to 90 on manufacturing and selling the
hin he claims to have invented before
the real inventor made IT.
"'Do you see that little lamp there?
asked Mr.. Edison. as he arose, full
length, in his ragged old linen buster
of the workshop. and he pointed Will
his pencil to an ordinary incandeScent
electric light beaming brightly over q
druftsman's table. 1T was my inven
ton, known as a primary invention
because l took two things. a piece OF
metal and electricity, and made q
third thing out of them-llght. Now
fought fourteen years in the courts
for that little lamp, because a French
mar bobbed up and claimed 1t after
had secured the patent. During al
this litigation had no protection what
ever, and when l won my rights, aftel
fourteen years, there were but three
years OF the allotted seventeen left To-
my patent to live. 1t has now become
the property Of anybody and every
body. There is no protection given al
inventor by the courts or the paten
Department."

T raise five crops instead of one on

the usual way. When a cucumber is
taken from the vine let it be cut with a
knife, leaving about an eighth of an
incl of the cucumber on the stem. Then
slit the stem with Il knife from its end
to the vine twice, leaving a small por-
ton of the cucumber on each division.
On each separate slit there Will be a

The RObbPr Cow.

Two COWS cost $40 each Il year tol
keep. one of them yields 1000 quarts
OF milk n year. that bring SS6. Inc
other Yields LOO quarts, that bring
SD. The latter loses about Sl4 and
reduces the gain on the former from
SIG to So. Why do you keep that Zoo
uuart COW? You would he better off with
the one that clears SAG, for You would
have only half the Investment, half the
work and half the feeding, and you
would gain $14 each year.
There would be no surplus butter or
the market for years to come ana
prices would rule strong If all the
COWS We're eliminated which are kept
at a loss. Dairy farmers have not yet
half walked up to an understanding OF
the great practical Importance of weed
ing out the Improbable COWS from their
herds. Many a man would make a fair
profit. that now faces constant loss, II
lie would keep only such COWS as pay
n profit on their keep.

Veretarianisnl Defended.

The editor of the News York and Phila-
Gelphia Medical Journal says that vege-
tarianism now has acquired SO many fol-
lowers that it is the duty of the physician
to pay attention to this form of living.
DIR. Rudolf Stahelin, a famous German
authority, is quoted as saying that vege-
tarianism may be rightly adopted among
our therapeutics, and his experiments con-
firm the theory that the extract matter
of meat has a dietetic influence. DR..
Stahelin concludes that under a milk diet
the labor of the kidneys is less than under
4 meat diet.

The Farm TOOIhOusc.

No building on the farm pays better
than a good Toulouse. 1t should be so
convenient of access that there need be
no excuse for leaving farm implements
exposed to the weather when not in
use. Properly cared for, many imple-
ments that now last only a few years
ought to be serviceable as long as the
farmer lives to need them. Besides, a
tool that has not been rusted, warped
and cracked by exposure will work as
well the second and third year Of use
as the first. On many farms the tools
are so much injured by being left out
of doors that after the first season they
cost more for repairs than they save
in labor.

Within the past decade the number Of
hospitals for the insane has more than
doubled, says the census bureau, and the
number of inmates has increased from
1900 in 1890 to over 10000 in 1904. 1t

Fnffeninr Stock.

Weight is the main object Of the
farmer In fattening stock for market,
and this weight IS easiest obtained by
feeding corn in order to produce fat.
Farmers have long been taught by ex
p%erlence that fat is a desirable quality,
and that it adds to the attractiveness
Of a carcass on the stall. 1t has been
demonstrated at the experiment sta
tions, however, that the weight can be
secured at less cost, with a greater pro-
portion Of lean i~nterspersed with the
fat, by feeding a heterogeneous ration,
which means that, In addition to a lib
,eral supply Of corn. an animal should
receive a variety Of food that is not SO
rich in oil, starch and sugar as is corn.
This fact is worthy Of consideration.

HEAVY

The weight Of a horse is an import
ant item in estimating his value for
draft purposes. for the ~fne-boned horse,
with well-develOped muscles, may do as
much worI. as the heavy-boned II for
a short time, and is ever better for road
purpose. But in blowing, or other
heavy, steady drawing, the light horse
is less useful. Then. in price, the
weight is an important item. If a good
horse weighs over 1000 pounds he may
possibly sell for as much as 81 per
pound. and from 1900 to 1000 pounds,
for less, the price rapidly declining,
1000 to LOO pound horses selling at
from 10 to 80 cents per pound. though
it is considerably more than II other
grade Of stock on the farm will bring
if the horses are we'll bred.

Wnfer Needed nv Corn.

Much interest has lately been mani
Tested in determining the exact amount
Of water required for the growth OF
plants. This is just as important in
the east as in the irrigated region, for
we often have droughts which made
necessary the most careful cultivation
to prevent plants from suffering. Pro-
fessor Clothier has found that after
corn becomes two feet high each stalk
uses up three pounds Of water a day
until the ears mature. This is eQuiva-
lent to an inch of rain a week. In
regions where the average rainfall is
lower. and where a good, milky quality
Of sweet corr is desired in the garden
during August and September, it Is OBJ
v~iously necessary to have the soil in
the most perfect state Of cultivation so
as to retain as much moisture as is
needed.
