splendid living by repacking frult

farmers and truckers, repacking them
and selling direct to the consumer.

Three years ago this man COM

Quoted the entire business practically

He now owns two double-team

In order to reclaim hardwood stump
land and prepare it for the production
of farm crops, action must be taken
quickly after the timber has been re-
moved to prevent q second growth
from starting up and greatly increas-
ing the cost of clearing year after
year. This is particularly true where
maple seedlings are abundant.
The only practical way to clear such
lands consists in producing conditions
which will hurry the rotting OF the
stumps in the ground and the debris
on the surface. In order to do this a
fairly good job should be made OF the
piling and burning, and there are al
ways opportune times to do this work
II It can be SO arranged. TO pile the
brush and partly decomposed logs and
pull all small snags entails a large
expense. On the other hand If too
much debris remains It diminishes
the returns from pasturage.
AS soon as the burning has been
done mixture of grasses and
legumes should be sown, consisting

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited
by
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound

The @change of life " is a most
critical period in woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near Is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. AT this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. It
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
