Mrs. III. Wri'ghf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes disturb
ance similar to ordinary Indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has peculiar tonic effect on the fe-
male organism.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention TO the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, n. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years I suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated the entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties.
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that | ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach. | tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. | was adj
vised to give Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to find that ii acted like fine tonic, and in a
fewdays l began TO enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks | was a well woman. | have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement or has such d record
of cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
E. Pinllham's Vegetable Compound.

Dogs Do Not Learn the Reason for VIVA,

stinct, while at the same time they indi-
cate where inventive instinct falls short
of rational action. He is skillful in get
ting a walking stick through a narrow
opening in wall or railing. An OBJ
server, seeing him push the stick along
and then drawing it through the hedge,
might attribute the act to reflection, and
say, what an observer of Principal
Lloyd Morgans dog said on similar
occasion, 'Clever dog that. sir; he
knows where the hitch do lie.'
Now this is precisely what my dog
(and Mr.. Lloyd Morgan's dog also) does
not know. When he feels the hitch he
knows how to get rid of it, but he does
not understand it.
l put him, in imitation of Mr.. Morgan S
experiment, behind some ratings. The
dog ran at them, holding the stick by the
middle, and did this more than once.
Then. in the excitement of his design to
get through and join me, he began TO
seize the stick at random, and seizing
it near the CROOK he was able to bring it
through. When | repeated the expert
ment he was clever enough to seize the
stick. after a few trials, at the right
place. and | imagine that it is the rate
at which the lesson is learned that
makes the difference between one dog
and another.
Even now, when he has become ex-
pert he first runs at n narrow opening
holding the stick 10y the middle. and
then when he has failed he skillfully and
without further waiting shifts his teeth
to the right place. He learned thus how
to do the action by trying repeatedly at
random, and failing, until success
crowned the desire, he remembered the
method of success. Compare his action
with the same action rs done nationally
by man. In strict sense the dog does
not know how TO do the the action be-
cause he has not analysed il into its
means. His means are not deliberate
means taken To secure an end, but they
are lucky device struck out by the
urgency of desire. He has learned how
it goes. but not the go of it.-Cornhill

Test of Age In Fowls.

A ROSTERS age is determined by the
size of his spurs. If they are long he
is antique If there is small but
ton on the ankle where the spurs come
later he is young bird. Ducks are
invariably judged by the under lip OF
the bill If Il dressed duck will sus-
tain it's weight by its under bill, lay
it back and try another" for there is
no telling how old it is; certainly 100
old to be real tender. But il the blll
snaps easily it is a young bird. GOD
blers are told by their spurs, the same
as ROSTERS. the age of the hen turkey
being determined by the length or IFS
beard. Aside from the test applied 10
ducks there is one infallible rule which
can be applied with safety in all cases.
The back part of the breastbone can be
bent easily in a young fowl. If 1t is
sharp and hard and refuses to yield
to pressure from your thumb it is an
old bird.

Medicine from Hogs.

For certain medicinal uses natural
gastric juice is necessary, but the sup
ply is very slight. Spalanzanl first
gathered gastric juice by means of a
fine sponge attached to a silk cord a
raven swallowed the sponge, and then
it was withdrawn from the stomach.
Brown equard, a French-American
physician, tried the same experiment
upon himself. This devotion to science
nearly cost him his life. Now we
gather gastric juice from the living
hog by performing the delicate opera
ton of inserting a glass tube. The
hog seems to thrive after these opera
tons.

Genernl-PurD Horse.

The general-purpose farm horse is
one that can be well utilized in ordi-
nary farm work OF all kinds and can
also do the limited amount of road
work needed in connection with the
working of the medium-sized or small
farm, says well-known farmer. A
horse called chunk" in market,
standing 10 to 10 hands high, weighing
from LOO to 400 pounds, compactly
built, with good feet and legs, a tract
able, lively disposition, a good, clean,
rapid way Of going at walk or trot, is
in brief, the kind of horse that I
would call general-purpose horse.
This kind Of a horse has a place on
farms, and we say is the most val
liable class, so far as farm work is
concerned. You will note that he par
takes of the qualities of both the
draught and coach or heavy roadster
types, in both his conformation and
disposition.

Sweet Potato Growing.

The following suggestions about
sweet potato growing are from Vir-
GINA lady: Sweet potatoes succeed
best on a deep and rich sandy soil with
a warm exposure. The ground should
be we'll plowed and narrowed fine. In
each hill plant two sets, covering about
two inches deep, and as they grow keep
drawing dirt around them. They are
among the very best vegetables for
table use. Select bright, clear day
for digging, let them dry day or two,
then place in boxes with paper with a
small quantity Of slaked lime among
the potatoes. Keep during winter in n

In the South the yield will likely be n
