Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
been in use for nearly fifty years. 1t Is
prepared from medicinal plants, by the
utmost pharmaceutical skill, and supe-
rior methods. The ingredients thus
combined in the Compound correct the
conditions which cause such annoying
symptoms as had been troubling Mrs.
Scholz. The Vegetable Compound exer-
cises a restorative influence of the most
desirable character, correcting the trou-
bic in a gentle but efficient manner.
This is noted. by the disappearance, one
after another, of the disagreeable
symptoms.

seen on her decks.
Presently Mr.. Gibney was inter

his sleeve.
"You was n gunner once, wasn't you,

Ex-Congressman C. C. Dickin-
son, while here attending the big
fair last week had q chance meet
ing with few former residents
Of Old Virginia at the Inn Hotel
during the dinner hour. Mr..
Dickinson became reminiscent
and told an incident that few
probably ever heard HIM speak
about. He said that he was
raised near Richmond, Va, and
that he was q good sized boy
when the Civil War broke out
and that some of the members
OF his family participated in that
great conflict. He said that
when the Confederate capital was
moved from Montgomery, Ala,
to Richmond, Va, Jefferson
Davis moved to that city and
when he arrived he delivered his
second inaugural address from
the steps Of the Capitol building
and that he was present and
heard Jefferson Davis deliver
that address. He said that his
oldest brother took him to Rich
mond on that occasion and that
ne could see Mr.. Davis a. plainly
today in his mind Is he did on.
that eventual day in 1867. He
said that he was probably the
only person in the last congress
that ever saw Mr.. Davis.

 Despite Ghe greatest care, many of the plants will wilt under the suns warm rays at thls time of year. and it is ad- visable 10 give shade for day or two. Strawberry boxes are excellent for this purpose. as they admit air and give the protection from the sun.
 Plants in the flower garden need the shading usually more than the vegetables which are hardy enough usually to re- cover after day oF two.
 Screens of cheese ~Jth or muslin may be made to pCotect paintings of choice flowers until they have taken hold. The practice of shading with flower pots Is not good one. The pots shut out the air and become hot under the suns rays and hold the heat the air within being too warm for the good of the little plant.
 It is better, If flower pots are used to set them Sc that the plant will be to the north or them and the shadow of the pot will offer some protection Otherwise, raise one edge of the pot so that air can circulate under it.

 Hubam clover makes one of the best bee pastures This seed is considered one of the most valuable clover seeds obtain able, the market price being about S12o a bushel Huban is the only sweet
 clover which blooms the first year and continues to bloom from the first of Au- gust until frost comes.
 Hubam is not difficult to False. It
 should be planted in rows two to three
 feet apart. never less than two for a
 small quantity of seed. Plant seed about an inch or two apart in the rows Choose soil which can be kept cultivated for a month or six weeks, Thereafter the clover looks out for itself
 In most cases the soil should be lined well in advance Of the seeding. Lime must not be applied at the time of plant ing, because this will counteract the eff fects of the inoculation. Soil may. how , ever, be lined after the seed is above ground.
 Hubam clover acquires plenty of sun light and will not thrive well If planted 1 in the shade, It must have plenty of food and for this reason should be planted l only in good rich soil An inch below I inch if the soil is particularly rich and moist packing the soil after planting. Because of the value of the seed, hee club members are urged to save this years seed crop for extending theil 1 clover patches next year If the same l land is given over to hubam for a year o1 two, the seeds which fall to the ground
 each season will take care of seeding ths part of the field first planted. Self-seede. l ing makes hubam more valuable as 3 pasture crop.
