These Women Personally Know the tleaHh-Restorlas Influence of This Wonderful medicine. Are Now aind to Qlve Others Benefit of Their Experience. “I took Zoa-Pbors for phinfnl menstruation, leuoorrhea, pains in the ovaries and other troubles. It is the first time I have ever been without pain at time of my menses.” —Mrs. Lillian Harris, Germfask, Mich. “I used Zoa-Phora during the spring, and am now strong and healthy. I think it is the best medicine for women who are in poor health.”—Mrs. Ludwickson, Groton, 8. D. “During change of life I used Zoa-Phora and it helped me greatly. I can recommend it to any one for that purpose.”—Mrs. Julia Fontain, Albany, Mo. “Having used Zoa-Phora for female trouble, I will gladly say that it did me good, and 1 think will benefit any one needing Bach a medicine if they will only try it.” —Alice Berry, Banner, Ark. “My trouble was delayed menses. Your medioine has helped me, and I feel better than I have for two years.”—Mrs. C. R. Huddleston, Bluffton, Ind. “I think Zoa-Phora is a grand medioine for every woman expecting to become a mother, as I had always had to suffer from ten to thirty-six hours until my last baby, born Aug. 13, 1906. I was only in pain an hour, and then nothing to the pain X suffered before.”— Mrs. Rosa Abbott, Dane, Okla. * “Your medicine is grand. It will always be my remedy when 1 am wgak and have headache.” — Katie E. Cramer, St. Mary’s, O. “I was troubled with falling and inflammation of the uterus but after using Zoa-PborH have bad bettor health than before in four years.”— Lemma Ellis.

I rest well at night and can not praise Zoa-Phora too highly, for it has restored me to health.”—Linesa Harrison, Kingston, N. C. “My age is sixty-six and my health was ran down. Zoa-Phora has given me strength and built up my system in general. My appetite is good and my food does not now hart me.”—Mrs. Elizabeth Koons, Ottawa, Kan. “My wife suffered with nervousness and painful periods. She tried many different kinds of medicine but found no relief until she commenced taking Zoa-Phora. She is delighted with your medicine.” —Charles L. Crowell, Brighton, Ala. Do you desire to receive the same results experienced by these friends who have willingly given their testimony for the benefit of others? Just go at once to your druggist and get a bottle of ZoaPhora. Full and complete instructions for using the medicine, together with a copy of our book “Dr. Pengelly’s Adviceto Women,” will be found in each package. Just ask for Zoa-Phora—no other explanation will be needed—and no mistake trill be made in giving you the right preparation, as ZoaPhora comes already prepared, compounded in just the right'proportions, and pat up in sealed, sterilized, one-dollar bottles.

Sowing Crimson Clover.

Crimson clover gives the best results when sown in late summer, preferably from July 15 to Sept. 1. It Is most commonly planted In corn or following a small grain crop. In the latter case the land should be plowed and put in good condition before seeding. Considerable difficulty is often experienced in obtaining a stand of crimson clover. Indeed, it is a common saying that It must be sown between showers In order to be assured of a stand. It is Important always to use fresh seed, as the germinating power deteriorates rapidly. Ordinarily twelve to fifteen' 1 pounds per acre are used, but good results have been obtained with smaller Quantities. In some cases the failure to obtain a stand has been attributed to the lack of inoculation. In any event it is always desirable .{o inoculate the seed or the soil before planting on land for the first time. Even If a stand Is only obtained two times out of three, crimson clover is still a very profitable crop to grow.—C. ▼. Piper. ' A Man’s Time. It is little else than to pump water, shell corn and'do other things of this sort by hand when a mechanical means is possible, remarks a writer la lowa Homestead. If a man considers his time worth much, it won’t take long to save enough time as well as energy to pay for a windmill or have the corn shelled.

QUEEN OF QUAGMOND.

By Epes W. Sargent.

Far out on the blue expanse of water two blade specks turned smaller and smaller in the distance. Now and then the early morning sun caugbt the broad blades of the oars with a glint like the flash of ft diamond, but presently the boats rounded the point of Indian island, and Nan turned to her aunt. "Well,” she announced briskly, “we are all alone for the day. Just think of that, auntie. We can imagine that we are original settlers and alone In the trackless waste.” Mrs. Edmond shivered at the suggestion. “Don’t, child!” she cried. “Is it not enough that we should be left alone?” “It’s the most delicious thing that has happened this summer,” declared Nan. “Just think of having the whole of this beautiful lake all to ourselves! I’m queen of Quagmond lake, and you are the dowager pueen, I guess. Let’s clear away the remains of our royal banquet.” Suiting the action to'the word, Nan briskly attacked the breakfast things, washing them In the tiny brook that went singing over the pebbles to the waters of the lake. It did not take long to dispose of the soiled things, and presently the girl turned to her aunt, her nut brown face glowing from the exercise. “What do you want to do, dear?” she demanded. “Whatever you wish.” Mrs. Edmond smiled into the radiant face softly framed in the masses of soft hair. "I suppose that we had better wait until Mr. Leland comes over.” “Wlut Leland Is not coming over,” said Nan decidedly. “I want to go somewhere now. Let’s take a lunch

“I’M HEAPING COALS OF FIRE ON YOUR HEAD, NAN.

and climb tbe mountain. It’s such a tiny mountain it won’t tire you. We can stop every little while. I hate to have to climb and climb and climb the way Wint Leland wants to.” “We will do it your way,” said Mrs. Edmond gently. “Shall we start at once?” “You’re the dearest auntie that ever was,” declared Nan as she planted an enthusiastic kiss upon the lady’s withered cheek and danced off to prepare the lunch. Mrs. Edmond noticed that tha girl kept scanning the lake and guessed the cause. Nan was afraid that In spite of the prohibition Winthrop Leland might come paddling around the corner, as he had done every morning ''since the Rankin camp bad been opened. The rest of the party would never have gone across the lake had they not supposed that Leland would be there to do squire duty. It was so like Nan not to let them know. There must hafe been a quarrel last night. She let her troubled glance wander out along the shore, but there was no sign of the canoe, and presently they tied the tent flaps and plunged Into the soft green of the woods. But even Squaw hill was something of a climb for Mrs. Edmond, and, as stops were frequent, it was welt past noon when they at last halted for lunch, establishing themselves Upon a grassy plateau divided by a tiny stream that later cut past the camp. Both were hungry, and the sandwiches quickly vanished, but neither made a move to go. Below, the lake glittered like a sheet of burnished silver In the glare of the sun, a giant salver framed In the changing green of the tree clad banks. Mrs. Edmond leaned back against the huge rock and sighed contentedly. Nan dropped down beside her and rested her head against her aunt’s knee. "It's lovely up here,” she said softly. "X wish that we didn’t have to go back —ever.” ~ “You would tire of it,” said the elder woman, with a smile. “You are too young and top active to turn recluse, Nan. Besides,” with an allusion to the girl’s speech that morning, “the queen should not seclude herself from her subjects.”. > “Not even when the subjects are unruly r Nan asked, with u sigh. "Then least of all," counseled Mrs. Bdgnond. “She should restore harmony to her subjects and show self truly a ruler. What was the matter last night, Nanr The girl started and ootaed at the

- i directness of the question. She had not meant such a literal application of her remark. - -• “Wint was horrid last night,” she said slowly, her glance directed toward the tiny Indian Island out in the lake. “He was so certain that we could not do without him that I told him not to come.” “And then?” A soft hand fell lovingly upon the girl’s soft hair. “And then he said he would 'come anyway, because he knew I never could run the camp alone, and I told him I was perfectly able to run the camp and care ior you and that I didn’t care if 1 never saw him again, and he said I probably never should? and then he went away and never even said good night.” “Did you expect him to come after your rudeness?” Mrs. Edmond’s voice gave no hint of the smile that was playing about her lips and In the corner of her eyes. Nan, looking straight out across the lake, did not see. “He might have been polite,” she said aggrievedly. “After you had been so discourteous ?” “Well,” she persisted, “he’s so important. Just as though I could not build a Are or cook bacon and things!” “It was verv good of him to want to help. I think yon should apologize to him,” she counseled sdftly. "I won’t,” said Nan mutinously. “Maybe,” relenting a little, “I shall speak to him again, If he’s very nice and bumble, but I shan’t apologize.” , “Then let us hope that he will not expect it,” suggested Mrs. Edmond. “Shall we go on?” And they resumed their climb. Nan was glad enough to rest before they reached the summit. “It’s different,” she explained as she threw herself on the soft moss, “when there is some one to help you up the rocks.” “Even men have their uses,” laughed Mrs. Edmond. “What a beautiful view we have from here!” “When you look out,” said Nan grimly, “when you look down and realize how far we have to go, I’m afraid it will be too much for you, auntie.” “Not at all,” said Mrs. Edmond bravely, but she shuddered as she glanced at the trees far below them. “It will be going down hill, you know.” “I’m always making trouble for people,” cried Nan penitently. “It’s a peculiarity of queens,” reminded Mrs. Edrooitd, “but it will be easy going down, dear.” It was not an easy matter, however, for presently the sun sank below the line of bills, and the trail through the woods was dark and lonesome. Nan had insisted that Mrs. Edmond take her arm where the trail made it possible, and, though the eider woman tried not to lean heavily upon the girl, Nftn’s shoulders ached. Suddenly Nan stopped and clapped her hands. “They're back!” she cried. “I’m so glad. I never could have cooked supper. I’ve been so worried about it—and so hungry!” She pointed ahead. Through the trees the firelight glinted upon the white walls of the tents, and already the grateful odor of coffee filled their nostrils. The thought gave them fresh strength, and they pushed ahead to the clearing, and Nan stopped short as Winthrop Leland sprang up from the shadows. “Piggy,” he called cheerfully, “not to let me In on the trip. I’m heaping coals of fire on your head, Nan. The coffee and bisenit are ready, and some of the finest trout you ever saw are waiting to be broiled. Supper will be ready by the time you’ve changed to moccasins and washed up.” “Wint,” said Nan fervently, “you are an angel, and I’m sorry I was cross last night.” Mrs. Edmond slipped Into the tent. The queen of Quagmond was about to abdicate in favor of a king, and she did not want to be present at the ceremony.

The Roman Candle Maker.

“The most solitary person in the world during working hours,” says Rene Bache in the Technical World Magazine, “Is the maker of roman candles. He occupies an isolated cell somewhat like that of an old time hermit, save that its precincts are more contracted, and nobody comes near ,him while he is engaged in his patient toll- The wages he gets are high, but not by reason of the loneliness to which he Is condemned. He la paid for the risks he is obliged to take. The quarters occupied by this eremite artisan are a tiny house, which might almost be c&lled a hut, with a floor space not more than six square feet Standing by itself, at least sixty yards from any other structure, the little building is of wood, of the simplest Imaginable architecture. If it were to be blown up, the financial loss would be almost nil, a point of some importance, inasmuch as its diurnal tenant is obliged to use considerable quantities of explosives In the business which engages his attention, for a roman candle is a sort of magazine or repeating gun. with a paper tube for a barrel and balls of fire for projectiles.”

She Knew Him.

Mrs. K. had engaged a robust, middle aged, colored woman to do some housecleaning. During the progress of the work Mts. K. said: “A colored man came along here one day last week and wanted work, and I let him wash some windows, but he did not do the work at all well.” “What fo’ lookin’ man was he?” asked the helper. “Well, he was a big, strong fellow, and lie bad bat' one eye. He said that his name was White- He did very poor work.” "I specs he did. Indy. He’s de wus* no ’count In din. town.” j “Oh, then yon know him?” I “Know ’im? Why, indy, I’n mailed jto Tm T—-Exchange.

A GOOD HENHOUSE.

A Structure Which Will Accommodate Mors Than Fifty Fowls. This is what G. Arthur Bell, assistant animal husbandman of the bureau of animal Industry at Washington, has to say of the proper quarters for the hens: The best house for fifty to sixty fowls is 20 by 14 feet; front elevation 6Vi feet, back elevation &A, with double pitch roof of unequal span. The roof, if it is shingled, should have not less than one-third pitch. If the roofing paper Is used, one-quarter pitch will answer. In the front or south wall there should be placed two windows about one foot from the top and three feet from the ends; 8 by 10 inches Is a good sized pane to use in a twelve light sash, making the sash about 3 feet 9 inches high and 2 feet 5 Inches wide. A door 2Mi by 6 feet may be made in one of the end walls, and also a small door in the front wall for the fowls to pass lu and out of the building. The roost room should be placed lu the rear of the house, extending the whole length. The platform should be about three feet wide and three feet from the floor and the perches be placed about eight or ten Inches above the platform. The nests should be placed against the end of the house opposite the door or under the roost platform and should be darkened. Several small boxes for shell, grit, beef scraps, etc., should be placed against the walls about sixteen Inches from the floor. If cement or wood floors are used, a dust bath should be provided for the fowls.

The White Cochin.

A great many persons who are familiar with the good natural points of the Cochins (Buff, Black, White and Partridge) often express astonishment at the remarkable falling off In popularity of these varieties of a noble breed. The cause is not hard to find. One glance at the accompanying Illustration will tell the story. The bird shown in the picture Is the highest development of the breeder’s art. He

FIRST PRIZE WHITE COCHIN COCK.

Won the first prize at the New York show this year. A person with half an aye can see that a fowl so ridiculously feathered cannot by any possibility be a first class utility fowl. And there can be no question either that once upon a time—and not so very long ago either—the Cochins were among the very best of the so called “farmers’ fowls.” It is merely Another of the many examples of too much “science” in breeding.

Double Mating.

Double mating is a method practiced by breeders who wish to produce exhibition specimens, particularly in the parti-colored varieties, males and fe males of direct cockerel breeding line being required to produce cockerels which come up to exhibition requirements. The pullets obtained from this mating are only of value as cockerel breeders. Another special mating of pullet breeding stock is necessary to produce exhibition pullets, and, as a general rule, the cockerels from such matings are not at all available for exhibition purposes.

The Basement Fowl House.

Personally we do not care for a poultry building with a basement, says a writer In Reliable Poultry Journal. However, some two story buildings are In use that are very satisfactory where a comparatively low studded basement Is used with either wood or stone walls and open to the south, being made to serve as an open front scratching shed. Inclined board runways provided with cleats to give a good foothold form the best stairways for fowls.

Keep Coops Off the Ground.

It Is a good idea to have the floor of the brood coop separate, and It should extend well in front. Placing the coop on blocks three or four Inches from tbe ground helps to prevent dampness and keeps rats and other small animals away. A few dry goods boxes placed hens and there In the poultry yard are a help for chicks to scamper Into when a storm unexpectedly comes np.

Egg Eating.

To cure egg eating in hens feed plenty of cut clover and beef scrap and see that tbe birds fire well supplied with oyster shell. If yon can get them, feed crashed eggshells freely. Leave a few nest eggs lying about the pen and provide birds with dark nests.

Air the Coops.

When the hen and her brood are out during tee daytime, turn tbe coop up to the son and air and clean off tee floor. If any signs of lice appear, coat the interior with hot lime wash In which there is a liberal quantity of salt.
