The examination of national for
est boundaries carried on by the for
est officers last summer and fall has
resulted in new information, which
will make it possible to restore to the
unreserved public domain much land
along the edges of and within forests
that is not best suited to forest pr
poses.
This is to be done under a plan
approved by President Taft. The plan
was formulated by Secretary Wilson
and Secretary Ballinger jointly. and
recommends:

this letter" Mrs. CHAs. BARCLAY,
RED, Graniteville, Vt.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
1t costs but little to try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclay it is worth noun

What we need is class of farmers
in America who will have better un.
derstanding of the fundamental prin-
ciples of fertility, who appreciate the
possibilities of crop production when
all the conditions are right, and who
have a sense of their responsibility
in the conservation of soil resources
that have been placed in their hands.
Prof Bailey, of the agricultural col
lege of Cornell university, says "ani-
mails born when the moon is new, or
increasing, will be much more likely
to thrive than those unfortunately
born at the opposite period. In the
new of the moon is the time to set
hens, to plant corn and other things
that grow above ground Planted in
the old of the moon, seeds of such
plants will probably rot. On the 9th
er hand, crops that grow under the
ground, as potatoes and beets, should
be planted in the old of the moon"
