Everything growing out of the ground
seems intended for some use in establish

Buffalo, N. Y, long since found out what
is naturally best for women's diseases.
He learned it all through treating thou
sands Of cases. The result of his studies
was q medicine called DR.. Pierce's Favor
tie Prescription. This medicine IS made
Of vegetable growths that nature surely
intended for backache, headache, weak
ening, bearing-down pains, irregularities,
pelvic infamtnations, and for the many
disorders common to women in all ages Of
life. Dr.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription il
made Of lady's slipper root, black cohosh
root, unicorn root, blue cohosh root aud
Oregon grape root. DR.. Pierce knew,
when he first made this standard medi.
cine, that whiskey and morphine are in
furious, and so he has always kept them
out of his remedies. Women who take
this standard remedy know that in DE-.
Pierce's Fayorite Prescription they are
getting safe woman's tonic so good that

TRRASHING SEASON AT HAND
Big Waste of Grain and Loss of Time
Result When Outfits Are
Not Overhauied.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Enormous waste of grain and much
loss of time result every thrashing sea-
son because of the inefficient work of
thrashing machines that have not been
thoroughly repaired and put in work
ing condition before the beginning of
the working season. Defective parts
are overlooked, or neglected in the
hope that they will last through the
season. When they fail in the midst
of the thrashing season, serious losses
often result before repairs can be
made. In or just before the thrashing
season new parts are difficult to get
promptly, because of the rush of Or
ders from many who have procrasti.
mated.
As soon after the close of the thrash
ing season as possible, says the United
States department of agriculture, the
separator should be overhauled, neces-
sary repairs and adjustments made,
and needed parts ordered. This not
only will prevent loss of time and
money during the next working season.
