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 Id
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 q remedy for their Pc
culiar Ills, more potent and effica-
ci0us 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 /
could hardly walk. About two years
ago | wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
/ followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women
What Lydia L. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

the end of each shed by hay fork and
carrier.
A hay shed should be well braced
and strongly constructed. The sys-
tenn of long bracing, such as is shown
in the accompanying figures, gives
great rigidity and strength, and is
preferable to the method of short
bracing commonly practiced. The
short braces easily work loose and the
shed soon becomes "rickety' AID I'M
safe and is apt to blow over in a
strong wind.
The roof should be strongly con-
structed and securely fastened to the
nosts. Galvanized iron or steel roof
ing makes durable roof covering,
and the same material may be used
for siding. It is advisable to side
havsheds, at least part of the way
down. otherwise there may be consid-
cradle damage from driving rain and
snow. If the hay is stored q bent at
a time. the side protection is not so
necessary, but If the plan is practiced
of spreading the hay from a single
cutting over the whole area of the
shed, some side protection from driv-
ing rains during the summer should
be given.

OPEN DEALING IN PAINT.

Buying paint used to be like the
proverbial buying of a pig in a.
poke. Mixtures in which chalk,
ground rock, ETC., predominated were
marked and sold as Pure White
Lead the deception not being ap-
parent until the paint and the paint
ing were paid for. This deception is
still practiced, but we have learned to
expose 1t easily.
National Lead Company, the larg-
est makers of genuine Pure White
Lead, realizing the injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers, set
about to make paint buying safe
They first adopted a trade mark. the
now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter" and
put this trademark, as a guaranty of
purity, on every package of their
White Lead. They then set about
familiarizing the public with the
blow-pipe test by which the purity
and genuineness of White Lead may
be determined, and furnished blow
pipe free to every one who would
write them for it. This action was in
itself guaranty of the purity of Ma
ttonal Lead Company's White Lead
AS the result of this open dealing
the paint buyer to-day has only him
self to blame If he is defrauded. For

painting, address National Lead Com

the shed consists of loosely laid poles
young trees that were being drubbed
in clearing a neighboring piece of land.
The posts are white oak trees, aver
aging about seven inches In diameter
at the top and ten to twelve inches
at the base. The frame timbers and
braces were fastened to the posts with
lag-screws and were usually bolted to-
gether rather than nailed-some nails
were used along with the bolts.
The roof is braced as shown in Fig.
4, and securely tied to the frame by
braces at each post, as shown in the
plans, and each rafter was securely
nailed TO the plate
The hay-carrier track is attached to
a 2x10 ridge timber for the first 16
feet and to a 2XS for the remaining SO
feet, the 2X10 extending four feet
over the end of the shed, from which
the fork is lowered to the load. The
ends of the rafters are flush with the
top edge of the ridge timber and are
securely nailed,
When built, this shed was left open,
but it will be sided this season with
boards to within four feet of the floor,
at an estimated cost of about $50.
A fairly accurate account was kept
of the material and labor required to
build this shed. Most of the labor
was done by unskilled workmen, an

From experiment station reports
and from the experience of farmers,
the writer concludes that the ordinary
loss of hay stored in shed will be, on
the average, ten per cent. less than
that of hay stacked out of doors. A
shed large enough to store 20 tons of
alfalfa will cost about 1920. Ten per
cent. of 20 tons of alfalfa hay, at ten
dollars per ton, is $40 If the hay is
stacked it must, as a rule, be handled
twice in feeding it, while if stored in
The shed or barn, one handling may
get it to the live stock. The extra
handling of the hay will cost at least
SO cents per ton, or $35 dollars. Again,
many leaves are shattered by the
extra handling, which may easily re-
duce the feeding value of the hay 80
cents per tons, which makes another
loss of $35; or the shed would save
$14O year. At this rate the original
cost of the shed will have been paid
for in three years, and a good shed
ought to last Is or 20 years.
On a stock farm it will usually be
advisable to build a combination hay
and feeding shed. This may consist
simply of a main shed for hay with
leantos for the stock; feeding man
gers should be built on one or more
sides of the hayshed, into which the
hay may be thrown. The lean-tos
