GREEN CUT ROME.

One pound of cut bone for a dozen
hens once a day, which should not
cost over one cent pound, will pro-
duce more eggs than five times as
much grain, because the cut bone Is
complete in egg-making substances.
while the grain is largely deficient in
many respects. Some persons affirm
that it does not pay to procure a
bonecutter for small flocks. That is
a mistake. Bone-cutters are now
cheaper than many ordinary garden
tools, and are strong. durable and
efficient. The cost of the bone-cut-
ter is soon regained in the increased
number of eggs laid. 1t is almost in.
dispensable to success, no matter
how small the flock, for no one should
keep flock unless fully determined
to secure the largest profit possible.
The great saving of bones and meat
and the utilization of materials that
could not be appropriated as food
for fowls without their use have
given green bone-cutters a place on
all well-regulated farms They are
sold at from S. to $40, price which
places them within the reach of all,
and they have added to the profits Of
poultrymen, farmers, butchers and
poultry supply houses.-Mirror and

SALT FOR SHEEP.

A series of experiments recently
conducted in France go to show tina.
sheep do need salt One bunch that
was given half an ounce each gained
four pounds and a fraction more than
the bunch that had no salt. The
sailed sheep had almost two pounds
more wool, which was of finer quail
tty. Half an ounce of salt gave much
better results than did three-fourths
OF an ounce.
Have little salt troughs fastened to
trees or posts scattered through the
pastures and keep them filled with
salt In which is mixed turpentine.
one tablespoonful to each quart of
salt. Keep your troughs filled so that
the sheep can get to them whenever
they choose land you will find that
every day. and lick a little salt The
cdor or smell Of the turpentine will
be on their noses, consequently the
gad-fy will not bother or sting them

Trees Which Require No Cultivation

frees Which Require No Cultivation
and Yield When Five Years Old.
In describing the cultivation OF q
hardy variety OF rubber tree In CUBA.
4 writer, In the National Magazine OF
Cuba says that It is advisable to plant
the small trees about six metres apart.
In this way, at the age OF Is or ~
years the trees having reached q
height Of say thirty feet. do not inter
fere with minor civilizations.
While the trees are reaching matur'
lty, the grower can raise beans, kid
neys beans, nuts or cassavas, malanga,
cotton and maize. The pineapple will
make profitable interpolated crop.
The caoutchouc requires no cult
'xation, the grass and the vegetation
assisting the young plant. and when
older the shade eliminates all useless
grasses and herbs. The tree can be
tapped at the fifth year, but more sat-
isfactory results will be attained by
waiting until the sixth year. and then.
instead of abstracting two or three
pounds Of juice, it is prudent to take
DO more than one to one and half
pounds, according to the development
of the tree an average Of one and a
half pounds would be very reasonable.
If methodically handled, the rubber
tree is extremely long lived. and from
eighth to tenth years the tree will
produces about six pounds annually,
and still remain in condition to give
service many years to come.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and a 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 efica-
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 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 I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It is

women"

table Compound did for Mrs. Muf,
