For Forty Years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has Relieved the Sufferings of Women.
It hardly seems possible that there is a woman in this country who continues to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial after all the evidence that is continually being published, proving beyond contradiction that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffering among women than any other medicine in the world. Mrs. Kicso Cured After Seven Month's Illness.

GOOD PRUNING POINTS
Orchard May Be Put on Paying Basis by Proper Work.
Strive to Secure Low, Broad-Spreading Branching Syttem, With Open Center to Admit Sunlight Cut Limbs Close. . Farmers who wish to put their orchards in shape for profitable production should begin pruning, whenever the wood is not frozen, In midwinter. Trees in heavy-bearing condition will make stronger growth if pruning Is done during late winter and early spring. Pruning during June and July will slightly chock the rank growth on trees that are making too much wood growth and tend to throw them Into bearing for the following year. Dr. J. C. Whltten, professor of horticulture In the Missouri College of Agriculture, gives direction's for winter pruning. Remove all dead or badly diseased limbs. Clean out all conker wounds on

The problems in the marketing of the vast amount of perishable food products begin, as do most marketing problems, with production. The variety of the fruit or vegetable grown and the amount of tills variety available, often are important factors in shaping market demand and prices. The quality of tho product, as infiuenced by choice of soils, fertilizers and cultural methods, is another important consideration affecting maracting success. Since the growing of perishable fruits and vegetables Is on a relatively small-scale basis, while the large aggregate demands of the great market centers have brought about tho existence of dealers who handle such produce only in large lots, the questions of production which later influence marketing can be dealt with satisfactorily in most caso: only on a community basis. This fact and the recognition that many other problems could be met satisfactorily only by cooperating groups of producers, has led to the organization of co-operative marketiug associations in many sections devoted more or less extensively to tho production of such perishable crops.
SPRAY OUTFIT IS ESSENTIAL
j Many Places on Farm Where It
Needed Valuable in Orchard, Garden and Henhouse.
la
Improperly; Pruned Tree, the trunk and main limbs with a tree scraper. Cut well into the rim of healthy wood on all sides of the wound, to get rid of the disease. Then paint the wound with common white lead and oil paint, to each quart of which has been added one teaspoonful of bichloride of mercury dissolved in turpentine (about one ounce). Paint all canker and pruning wounds as soon as made. Ä Begin at tlur top and prune the tree to secure a low, broad-spreading branching system, twith open center, to admit sunlight and air from above. Do not remove strong lower limbs if they can be given sufficient light from above. Aim to secure bearing branches throughout the main body of the tree. If the tree is shaded by too much growth at the top, the inner and lower twigs will weaken and die instead of bearing fruit. Cut back the strong, upward-growing central limbs to outward-growing side branches. This induces the tree to spread laterally instead of growing too high. It admits light through the center to fruiting branches below. If limbs cross each other or crowd badly, thin them out enough to admit filtered sunlight to all parts of the tree. In pruning cut limbs close, so as to leave no stub or knot. A protruding knot will not heal. A wound cut close will allow the growing layer to close over the wound. Paint all wounds over one-half inch in diameter with the disinfecting paint.
No farm should be without a good spraying outfit. There are so many places where it is valuable. The orchard, the garden and the henhouse all need It. The little bucket sprayers are .just an aggravation for any use where pressure and speed are needed, though they are fully as useful as one could expect them to be. For spraying one or two trees, or for the henhouse, they will do very well, but in a large field of potatoes, a large orchard of large trees, or where force enough is needed to throw the spray iuto dense foliage, they cannot be expected to do the work as well as a more powerful pump. The lever action of the barrel pump handle adds to the power exerted, and the larger cylinder gives a faster flowing stream and a greater pressure can be maintained with the same nozzle. A barrel sprayer, that takes a barrel without a head and is attached to the rim of the barrel, will give good service.
BALANCED RATION FOR HENS
In Experiment Conducted by Ohio Station Fowls Gained in Weight and Produced More Eggs.
MONEY IN SUNFLOWER SEEDS
In Demand in England for Manufacture of Oil Brightens Plumage of Various Fowls.
Feeders of horses, cattle, sheep' and hogs have claimed for years that these animals must be fed a "balanced ration. Special attention has been given to balanced rations for dairy cows. By this is meant that one feed constituent should not be fed In excess, while another is lacking for the upkeep of the animal's body. The protein must be in a certain proportion to the sugars, starches and fat in the feed. Now the hen comes in for her share in this scientific feeding. Ten times as many eggs were produced by hens fed a well-balanced ration as by those given only corn, wheat and oats in an experiment conducted by the Ohio experiment station. The balanced ration consisted of three parts by weight of corn and one part of wheat fed twice daily in the litter, and a mash mixture of two parts meatscrap added to two parts ground corn and one part bran fed in self-feeding hoppers. The 21 Barred Plymouth Bock pullets in each lot received the same
There is a possibility that the sunflower will be Included among our regular field crops and that instead of struggling for a place in the rear end of the garden it will be carefully cultivated and harvested for sake of its seed.
From England there comes the re- j port that a big demand exists for the seed from which to manufacture oil. It has long been recognized that the
plant Is both hardy and productive and if a means of utilizing the seed could be discovered it would take rank with the grains. Poultry keepers have set a certain value upon the seed for keeping hens in condition and brightening the pluraago. It has even been claimed that the stalks could be preserved in a silo like corn fodder and make a rich food for cattle. In neither case, however, has any wide field of usefulness been found.
FOR EXTRA EARLY POTATOES
Plan Outlined Patch Before Frosts
for Working Small Danger of Spring Has Passed.
For extra early potatoes, manure heavily a few rows in the hill and cover with an Inch or two of manure, then cover all with four or five Inches of soli. In this manner a small patch may be planted without danger before the spring frosts are past, and new potatoes will bo coming on before others' think of having any.

The hens given the balanced ration ate more feed, which cost about 50 per cent more than the ration of corn, wheat and oats. However, they gained more In weight and produced ten times as many eggs, making a net profit, while the other lot was kept at a loss.
PROPER QUARTERS FOR HOGS
Animals Should Not Be Permitted to Burrow Deep and Sleep in Damp Straw Have Pens Dry.
Flo.es should not be allowed to burrow deep and sleep in damp straw around the stacks. They come out wet and steaming Into tho cold air and contract cold and pneumonia. Provide dry, tight pens nrd mako them sleep In suitable quarters.
Healthy Skin Depends On Kidneys The skin and the intentlnes, which work together with the kidneys to throw out the poisons of the body, do a part of the work, but a clean body and a healthy one depends on the kidneys. If the kidneys are clogged with toxic poisons you suffer from stiffness in the knees in the morning on arising, your joints seem "rusty," you may have rheumatic pains, pain iu the back, stiff neck, headaches, sometimes swollen feet, or neuralgic pains all duo to the uric acid or toxic poisons in the blood. This Is the time to go to the nearest drug store and simply obtain a GOc. package of Anurlc (double or triple strength), the discovery of Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y. Then drink a cup of hot water before meals, with an Anurlc Tablet, and notice the gratifying results. You will find Anuric more active than llthla.

Canada Offers 160 Acres Free to Farm Hands BonuS of Western Canada Land to Men Assisting in Maintaining Needed Grain Production The demand for farm labor in Canada is great. As an inducement to secure the necessary help at once, Canada will give ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES OF LAND FREE AS A HOMESTEAD and allow the time of the farm laborer, who has filed on the land, to apply as residence duties, the same as if he actually had lived on it. Another special concession is the reduction of one year in the time to complete duties. Two years instead of three as heretofore, but only to men working on the farms for at least six months in 1917. This' appeal for farm help is in no way connected with enlistment for military service but solely to increase agricultural output. A wonderful opportunity to secure a farm and draw good wages at the same time. Canadian Government will pay all fare over one cent per mile from St. Paul or Duluth to Canadian destination. Information as to low railway rates may be had on application to J. M. MacLochlan, 215 Traction-Terminal Building, Indianapolis, Indiana Canadian Government Agent
SEE FAILURE IN THE HOME Pet Polly Among Ducks
iueniücrs or tue bociai Target ciud, maintained by Kansas City sportsmen at Mud lake, were excited some time ago when a big flock of ducks settled on the lake and floated about, waiting to be shot. Down through the weeds and grass squirmed the hunters, guns ready. "Hello," came a wailing voice across the water, apparently from the flock. 'Gosh," muttered John Caskey, deputy county recorder at the courthouse, "somebody out in the lake." "Hello, hello, hello," came the answer. "It's a talking duck," gasped one of the hunters. "Duck nothing, it's a parrot; there he is on that muskrat house," said another. And, sure enough, a "poll" parrot was sitting out in the middle of the lake and around him floated the ducks, all unmindful of his chatter. Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Growing Laxity in Discipline There Declared a Crime Cause by Prison Directors.
Growing laxity in mental and moral training and discipline in the home is responsible in a large measure for the unprecedented growth of population at California's prison and reformatories during the last two years, the Sacramento Bee observes. This is charged by the state board of prison directors in the biennial report filed with Governor Johnson. There appears to be an increasing disposition among parents to place pleasure above duty and to place much of the responsibility of parenthood on the state, a condition that should not be tolerated, the report says. The responsibility of the home is taken up in the report. "It should be made the imperative legal as well as moral duty of parents to rear children properly," it is declared. "If the moral training of children is neglected; if they are not taught self-control ; if no rules of home conduct are promulgated or being promulgated, children are permitted to disregard or evade them, it may be expected that such children, when grown, will not give due attention to rules of organized society."
