THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience Of Motherhood Is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

BIG INCREASE OF
FARM PRODUCTS.
Province of Alberta Shows m
crease of Over 20 Millions.

Figures just compiled by the public
ment show that last year, notwith-i
standing that quite a third OF the prov
ince was affected by the drought to
a very serious extent, the total value
of agricultural products actually pro-
duced in the province showed an In
crease of over twenty million dollars
over that of the previous year. Al
though southern Alberta haG a bad
year agriculturally, the province as al
prosperity, due principally to mixed
farming, which is becoming more gen-f
eral with each succeeding year.
The value of mixed farming, in fact,
was never better illustrated than last
year as the value of the animals
slaughtered and sold alone equaledt
the value of the spring wheat CROP
without taking into consideration the
value of the butter, milk, cheese, pou1-j
try, vegetables, and other by-products
of the farm.
Oats was the banner grain crop,
1,147,382 acres being seeded, and pro-
ducing 34,397,117 bushels, or 30.15 to
the acre. Sold at an average of 500
per bushel, these yielded a revenue OF
S17, 198, 558. Comparatively little win
ter wheat was produced, the yield be-;
ing a little short Of one million BUSH
els, but the spring wheat crop
amounted to is, 0 ,0S3 bushels, the
yield per acre being 1926. At an aver

the spring wheat crop was therefore
$~20,3S7,S12. The total production Of
barley was 7,847,640 bushels, which, at
Soc per bushel, yielded q revenue OF

Other productions were as follows:

261 ,843 bushels, $196, 1892. 90; speltz. A.

fish, $195,00O; game and furs, $780,

poultry and products, s2,650,000.
The total of the agricultural prod
ucts is given as S7S, 516, 1891, as COM
pared with S5S, O98, OS4 in 1918.
The statistics also show that the
value of the live stock in the province
at the end of the year was s110,o44,-
$50, this being an increase of s7,762,-
S45 ove the previous year. There
were 609,125 horses, 75O,7S9 swine,
