How often do you hear these sfgni-

the same words yourself, and there
is a cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
E. Pinkham of Lynn. Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering

these two words are full of o
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits, reluctance to
go anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
irregularities are the bane Of woman's
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this. misery also
discovered a remedy. Lydia e. Pink

One of the most valuable books for
the professional collector is esteemed
solely on account of its errata and the
authors peculiar explanation Of how
so many blunders came to be made.
The book is entitled The Anatomy OF
the Mass" 1t consists Of 172 pages
and is accompanied by a list Of errata
Of fifteen closely printed pages. The
author in his explanation attributes the
mistakes to the devil, who, he says,
first caused him to drop the manu-,
script in a ditch and thus made it al
most ~illegible, and, secondly, by be-
fuddling the printers made them com
ed in a work of that size.

Developing a. New Potato.

During the past season remarkable
progress has been made in the cuiti-
walton of a new species of potato in
the department of Vienne, in France.
1t originated in Uruguay, II Is called
the Solanum Commerson!- Amid its
new environment in France. and by
dint of careful cultivation and selec-
ton, it has developed several forms
which promise to become fixed, and to
possess much value as additions to the
food of Europe. Among these
forms, all springing from n parent
species. there are Il yellow variety, a
white variety, n red variety and Il va
riety not specially characterized by
color. all of which possess distinctive
shapes and qualities. a fact that par
ticularly interests botaniSts II cult
vators is that these varieties have ev-
identity not yet reached their tinal set
tied forms, and the experiments or
NJ. Labergeric in Vienne are closely
watched because it is thought that they
will throw light upon the unsettled
question of the general origin of the
potato.

The Farm Garden.

For a farmer to begin gardening
with several kinds of Zach vegetable is
to fail with some, as farmers do not,
as a rule, give attention to gardening.
About one-half of the varieties in many
of the seed catalogues could be elimi-
mated with advantage. If the garden
is to be a speciality ext year, NOW off
the grass and weeds, burn the ground
over to destroy the weed seeds and
plow the land whenever favorable for
so doing, applying manure literally
and then narrowing it in. Next spring
pillow the garden again and use only a
few varieties of each vegetable, select
ing such as may be supposed to be the
best.

There may be disadvantages in fall
blowing, as it is believed by some that
the blowing of the land in the fall per.
mits of the loss of soluble plant food
in winter by teaching, but when the
land is plowed late in the year, and
then c~ross-plowed early in the spring
there is brought to the surface the
larvae of insects, which perish on ex.
posture to cold at the surface. To pre-.
vent teaching of the soil after blowing
the work should be done in the fall
and the land seeded to rye, or the land
may be plowed in early spring.

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's Hair
White but She Was Cured by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills

~ bGk oiS was SuTSO by "
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which is the cause of your
suffering. That is the message which
a former victim of neuralgia sends to
those who are still in it's grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others thai reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure to return vita
greater intensity.
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who mas a
beautiful home at 81 Boulevard
West, Detroit, Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says:
my trouble began about six years
ago and l did not rest as I should
have, but kept up about my many
duties. After a time / became SO
weak l could not do any work at all.
| had sever backaches and such
dreadful headaches in the back part
and top of my head. My eyes were
easily tired and at times l saw black
spots before them. l consulted sew
eral doctors but without the slightest
benefit. The pains were so intense
that my hair turned white.
9" lost continually in weight and
strength n was almost in despair
when a friend recommended DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. l tried them ac-
cording to directions and soon began
to feel relief. At the end of three
months I had gained ten pounds in
weight and had no more trouble WITH.
my nerves. l have been in perfect
health ever since and can heartily
commend DIR. Williams Pink Pills"

Considering the neglect given black
berry and raspberry canes in late sum-

of weeds and grass as soon as the ber-
ry harvest is over, and apply fertilizer
Oh thel land, the effect of the good treat
ment will be apparent the following
year. Weeds and grass rob the canes.
and when it is considered that with
the canes producing crops for several
years in succession, and weeds and
grass taking possession between the
rows, the land becomes exhausted, the
crops fall off and the canes die out.

Watching the Market.

The farmer who does not watch the
market reports and prices will be al
a disadvantage. If In article was
high last year it may induce many to
grow large crops of it this year. If an
article is low it is possible that many
will not make any attempt to grow
anything with profit on that line. An
experienced farmer states that he al
ways plants the crops that others will
not grow, for then it is sure to be be.
low the demand and bring a good
price. His method is worthy of consid-
Grafton by others.

The shrinkage of corn varies accord.

known in which corn lest 20 per cent

From s to II per cent is the average,
The shrinkage depending upon SO many
circumstances as to make an exact es-

allow 10 per cent.

Farm work in Winter.

There are many duties on the farm
that are performed only during certain
seasons, u an amount of preliminary
work can be done in winter which will
save time in the spring. Not a seed
should be planted that has not been ex-
amined, and an overhauling of the
tools should not be overlooked. Get
ready for spring in advance, so as to
prepare for hurry during the planting
season. The manure heap should also
receive attention, as the condition OF
the manure will largely influence the
start of the plants in the spring.

Feeding Stock.

Giving the COWS coarse food, in order
to dispose of such foods, will not add
to the quality of the milk, nor the
quantity, but it puts the cows to service
in converting such materials into ma
nure. A good farmer, however, can
not afford to keep a cow simply to
make manure The manure should be
considered only as a b~y-product. TO
make an animal profitable, not only
should the coarse and bulky materials
be used. but they should be REINFORCED

the yield, but also render the manure

If the ground is cold the strawberry
bed may be burned over, which will
clean the surface. This need not be
lone until later, if preferred, or just
before the winter mulch is removed.
After the plants ave made their
growth a mulch of clean straw or salt
hay will not only assist to promote
their growth. but will protect against
drought and also aid in keeping the
fruit clean. 1t is not necessary to Gull
tivate Strawberries in early spring, as
cultivation disturbs the surface roots,

 Notice is hereby given that said counties are declared an "infected district" and that all infected bands of sheep or goats in said dis trict must be dipped twice, under supervision, according to the rules of the commission. and all other bands of sheep or goats in said dis trict must be dipped once, under supervision, at recognized dipping plants.
 All bands of sheep or goats classed as infected or exposed by inspectors must be dipped at near est practicable dipping plant at as early a date as possible, and all other bands of sheep or goats must be dipped at times and places designated by inspectors. provided that any band of sheep or goats found in this district after July 25, 1907, not accompanied by dipping certificate issued between February and July 25, 1907, shall be placed in quarantine under guard. as provided in section s of the laws of the territory for the sanitary protection of sheep Q907), until dipped under supervision and officially released.

 All corrals and places of close confinement of sheep, which are designated by inspectors as being infected with scab or scabies in- lection, must be cleaned and dis: infected, moved and disinfected, or destroyed by the owner or owners in such manner as inspectors shall prescribe.
 D. NJ. FRANCIS, Chairman Sheep Sanitary Com
 mission. =,
