Dear Mrs. Pinkham :--
 "I was told by my physician that had a fbroid tumor and that I would have to be operated upon. wrote to you for advice, which followed care- fully and took Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I am not only cured of the tumor but other female troubles and can do all my own work after eigh years of suffering" Mrs s. J. Barber. of Scott. N. Y. writes 1:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-- Sometime ago wrote you for advice about tumor which the doctors thought would have to be removed. Instead I took Lydia E. Pinkham's s Vegetable Compound and to- day am g well woman.
 Mrs. Nj. M. Funk. vandergrift. Pa., writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham :-
 ''I had Q tnrnor and Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound removed it for me after two doctors had given me up. l was sick four years before I began to take the Compound. l now fccOIntueHu yslla E ln kndm NeRSt- able Compound far and near"
 Such testimony as above is con yincing evidence that Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for Tumor Growths as well as other distressing ills of women. and such symptoms as Bearing g-down Sensations, Displace- menfs lrre0riarities and Raclxache etc. Women should remember that it is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound that Is curing so many women Don't forget to insist upon it when some druggist asks you to accept something else which he calls just as good"

Frs. Pinkham's Iayitation to Women.

Women suffering from any form of female weakness arc invited to write Mrs. Pinkham. Lynn, Mass., for advice. She is the Mrs. Pinkham who has been advising sick women free of charge for more than twenty years, and before that she assisted her mother-in-law, Lydia E. Pink ham in advising. Thus she is especially well qualified to guide sick women back to health,

However open to criticism this same

There has come a general and wide
spread int&rest in growing alfalfa. and
inquiries for Information are numerous
from all sections. Alfalfa as a hay
and pasture plant is worthy of all this
interest in its growth. and because of
its excellence il is very necessary that
the first ones 10 attempt 20 grow the
plant be successful. for if they fail
others will not try il. and the cause
Of alfalfa will be set back many years.
There are important conditions neceS-
sary for SuCCess-theSe we have OBJ
served in our experiments. and they
will be briefly mentioned in this cir.
cular.
The plant is peyennial-grows up
right. and j. resistant 10 both cold
and drought. The seed are kidney
shape, rather thin, and about one
twelfth inch long. The leaf is broader
at tip than base. Western grown seed
are better for sowing. as they are per
hapS more resistant to drought and
freezing than local or eastern grown
seed. The root is perennial-and from
the crown passes straight down into
the subsOil, and if not prevented by
rocks, to eight feet and beyond.
Hence the subsoil must be open or
penetrable. well drained. not water
soaked. and il must be fertile, since
a few inches of fertile top soil on a
poor subsoil would be of nc value To al
falfa. as the roots would be beneath it
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1907-03-07

Therefore the subsOil must be fertile
and well drained, o alfalfa will fail
absolutely.
As alfalfa grows up and is moved
or grazed the crown sends up new
stalks. From this fact it follows that
grazing should never be clean, nor the
stalk cut at the ground.

Then. also. the root growth is suffl-
GENTLY deep to withstand any ordinary

should be enough water in soil to

The best preparation of soil is to
