When butter will not gather the

Vanced iactation or too low a tempera-
lure OF cream. The milk from one
COW long in lactation is sufficient to
spoil a whole churning. The viscosity
OF such milk renders separation of but
Ter fats slow and imperfect. It often
happens during the winter months that
outter, or cream, rather, will break or
separate into small particles. which re-
fuse to adhere or gather, in spite of all
coaxing. The only remedy is to raise
the temperature of the whole mass up
10 the proper degree In this work the
dairy thermometer is almost indis-
pensable, as 1t will save much time
and worry. If the churn is a revoly-
ing one and the cream just breaks into
minute particles, refusing TO gather,
then add warm water to that used in
rlnsing the butter until it reaches about
64 degrees. The butter particles will
generally adhere after a few revolu-
tons of the churn. Trouble of this
kind can be avoided Before attempt

Ashes and Manure,

II ashes and hen manure are mixed
together before being applied to the
soil there win be a loss Of ammonia
from the manure which will greatly
lessen the value. The ashes should be
put on after the manure has been mix
ed with the soil. In this way the am
monla will be absorbed By 1t, and re-
main for the use Of the crop. Wood
ashes make valuable application to
soils deficient in potash, and hasten
the decomposition to coarse manures.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and woman'S work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public
"For twelve years l had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time / had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times /
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.

pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. Il is

women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
twill do for other suffering women.

A British writer quoted by the
Army and Navy Journal leclares
that so per cent of the men in the
British navy are more or less deaf as
a result of heavy air 1ht cks to which
their ears are subjected by firing Of
the big guns. Strange to say, how
ever, this disastrous effect on the
ears, is sometimes greatest in the
case of small guns For instance, 1t
has been found that the gun crews
of the Dreadnought's twelve-inch
guns suffer less from the ring" than
men handling three-pounders. This
is explained by the protection re-
sulting from the barbette ir which
the former is enclosed, and which Is
not as a rule used for the three
pounder, and further by the fact
that the men operating the twelve
inch gun are about nine times as far
away from the muzzle as those Of
the three-pounder crew. To avoid
the worst effects of these gun dis
charges on the ears it is recommend
ed that a piece of rubber be kept be-
tween the teeth so that the mouth
will be held open, and clay fibre
plugs be used in the ears.
