The subject of our portrait in this sketch, Mrs. Williams of English town, N.J., has been entirely cured of such illness and misery by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and the guiding advice of Mrs. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. No other medicine has such a record for absolute cures; and no other medicine is “just as good.” Women who want a cure should insist upon getting Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound when they ask for it at a store. Anyway, write a letter to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., and tell her all your troubles. Her advice is free. Time to Go Sooth.

GOOD THING TO HAVE. Description of Scalding Trough and Steamer That Can Be laed fora Variety of Purposes. Have any of your readers ever used g scalding- trough having boards for sides, sheet iron for bottom and ends, and found that it was a great saver of labor? I have one which I made 22 years ago and am- still using. 1 cook beans and potatoes or steam anything I wish in it. Besides, it is used fo* scalding hogs at butchering time. Foi this purpose it is ahead of anything 1 ever used. The largest hog can be scalded easily. To get the hogs out. I use a rope and roll them out as 1 would roll a log on a sleigh. T\vo mef can easily scald a 600-pound hog. This trough is light,cheap and easy to make, and can be set up wherever you wish tc use it. For making, select two 2-inch pine boards (a), each C feet long and 2 feet

SCALDING TROUGH IN POSITION. wide. Hound the lower corners of each as shown in cut, so as to form a circle 1 foot in diameter. Place boards on edge, round corners up. Place a piece of sheet iron 10 feet long and 2S inches wide on the boards, and commence nailing in the middle, nailing both sides along evenly, so that the iron will not be wavy. When done nailing the sheet iron will extend past edge of plank. Do not cut this off, but place trough side up and bend the sheet iron over top of plank and nail securely. I drove nails every inch, not in a row, but zigzag. I used No. 6, ex- \ cept the last few, where the iron was turned back. There I used No. 8. To set up the trough, dig a ditch 7 or 8feet long, 6 inches wide aq<MUriches deep at pipe end, and tajering d\little toward the end where the fire will be. Enlarge to 18 or 20 inches wide for fire box. Place the soil from ditch along the side of trough so that it Will when leveled prevent any fire coming near edge where wooden sides are. Put on elbow and a few lengths of stovepipe at one end (b), and fire at the otherThe water in the trough will soon be heated scalding hot and but little wood will be required to do it. With tight cover on, you can soon boil 100 gallons of water. My trough holds nearly 200 gallons. By adding an extra bottom, some use this -trough for their hog feed. The extra bottom keeps the feed from burning. A damper (d) before fire to force draft under fire is a great help to make it heat better.—J. A. McPherson, in Orange Judd Farmer.

SHREDDED CORN FODDER, Kta Value aa a Dairy Ration and Beef Producer la Recdarntaed b> Many Anthorttlea. Corn fodder is very unsatisfactory material to handle in the stable unless it has been thoroughly treated and reduced to fragments. Shredding obviates all the trouble and whatever waste there is is excellent for bedding. The shredded corn stalks for feeding purposes should vary (according to Prof. Henry) according to the character of the fodder used and the animals to which it is fed. At the Kansas station the stover wap cut in lengths varying from one to 4'vo inches. Instead of most of the cut fodder being consumed by fhe cows there was an average waste* of 31 per cent, of all the cut fodder, and the conclusion was naturally reached that the great value of shredding fodder over the small, sharp cut pieces is that there are no sharp edges to cut the mouths of the cattle eating if. Z' Prof. Henry, in his work in Wisconsin, found very satisfactory results" by the use of shredded fodder. In some of his trials the same amount of grain or hay was fed to each lot of cows on trial and he found a saving of 24 per cent, of the corn forage by using it in the shredded form. The same writer also found that in rearing calves intended for beef production corn stover should constitute a part of the roughness, and he also found very satisfac- | tory gains were made in using stover during the fattening period of steers.

A LtKhtnlnar Rod Story. The lightning rod agent is no respecter of persons or colors. A correspondent of the Texas Farm and Ranch tells this story of a little log house: “A negro’s family qrcupy it. At one time this negro’s nfte was good for as much as $50. About that time a lightning rod agent came through the county. He ascertained that said negro’s note was good for 100 feet of rod and he sold it to him, charging him $50, taking his note in payment. The negro paid the note and has never since had that much money. It’s rather an incongruous sight \o see a $50 lightning rod on a seven-dollar house; still it furnishes another instance of how much some people love to humbug and others to be humbugged."

' Henry A. Little has been for 50 fears recorder of Madison county, 111. The lawyers thereabouts say that no encyclopaedia of legal doings in the county could be more valuable to them than ?Sr. Little’s wonderful memory. Chapncey Depew and Andrew Carnegie fell into an argument the other day regarding the latter’s countrymen. The canny Scot delivered himself of what he thought was a finisher and the senator replied: “The reason you Scotchmen are a race* of dyspeptics is because you are such a disputatious lot that you won’t even let your food agree With you.” William C. Whitney is continually spending some of his vast fortune in building or tearing down. He will give instructions for the erection of a stable, for instance, after having Carefully considered plans therefor. It is a safe bet that before the building is completed he will order it to be entirely remodeled. Hamilton McK. Twombly is another millionaire who is given to similar changes of mind.

A Detroit man, whose wife was coming to San Francisco on a visit, accompanied ner as far as Chicago and pat her oq the overland train. Before leaving her he gave the porter half of a five dollar bill that be had torn in two, telling the mgn that his wife had the other half and would give it to him at the end of the journey if she were properly looked after. When he got home ne found he had neglected to give his wife the other half of the torn bill, and a few days later he received a letter from his wife reminding him of the fact, and saying she had torn a dollar bill in two and given half of it to the porter. Somewhere along the line there must be a wild-eyed darky with the halves of two worthless bills in his possession and a firm conviction that he has been worked by some sort of a new flimflam game. Meanwhile, the Detroit man is anxious to find out what sort of reasoning his wife used when she gave that porter a half instead of the whole of that one dollar bill.—San Francisco Argonaut.

HELPED THE CHIEF. How a Loyal Engineer Did His Brother Great SerTlee. Meadville, Pa., Nov. 26, 1900.—(Special.)—The Loyalty of the Members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers is proverbial. A circumstance occurred in this city some days ago, which emphasizes this feeling. Frank J. Zeller is Chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers No. 143. He is extremely popular among his fellow railway men, and one of the best known Engineers running out of Meadville. When the announcement was made & short time ago that Frank was pretty sick, it caused a great deal of regret among the boys. Soon he was missed from his engine, having had to “lay off” on account of his back. A brother of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, who had been ill with similar symptoms, some time before, and who had been pulled through, called to see Mr. Zeller, and in a brotherly way, took with him a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, the Bemedy which had cured him. He advised Mr. Zeller to try them, with the result that after seven boxes had been used, he was entirely well, and able to work. In an interview Mr. Zeller states: “I had suffered for four years with this affliction, being often kept awake' at night with pains, and at times unable to work. I tried several of the advertised remedies, and found that they did me no earthly good. Finally, a member' of our Order, who had been cured of Kidney Disease by Dodd’a Kidney Pills brought me a box, and asked me to try them. I had little faith in them, but as a drowning man grasps at a straw to help him, so I took the Pills. I used seven boxes, and am to-day as well and strong a man as there is in Pennsylvania.” Naturally, Mr. Zeller feels very grateful, and his complete recovery has delighted his many friends, and none more than the good Brother, who feels that he was instrumental in saving the life of the Chief. Dodd’s Kidney Pills never fail to cure Kidney Trouble. Sold for 50 cents a box, all dealers.

An Odd

Trade

MAKES CHILDREN' AS FATAS PI6S

Mark V ,

And It's Origin. ■ , r, * * ■ The above singular combination is the trade-mark adopted by the Paris Mediate* Company of St. Lonis and is used in their advertisements of Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic. To the many people who may be interested to know the origin of this odd trade-mark-J*^* following information is given: f In the spring of 1883, the little two year old son of Mr. E. W. Grove was taken qufle sick with malaria. Mr. Grove, knowing the virtne of his own medicine, commenced giving hiss Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic. He had taken this prescription only a few days until quit* a favorable change was noted, in fact, he grew so rosy, healthy and plump, that Mrs. Grovo in describing his condition to her husband, remarked “ Grove’s Tonic makes our baby as fab as a pig ”. This led Mr. Grove to thinking that the expression “as fat'as pigs’’ used in connection with babies, was a very common one, and suggested to him the idea of combining* child’s face with a pig’s body, with wording as above, “ Grove’s Tonic makes children as fai as pigs”. It is an attractive trade-mark, and the remedy it represents—Grove’s Tonic—i* regarded by the public as being the very best prescription for Malaria, Chills and Fever. The record of the Paris Medicine Company showethat Nine Thousand gross—Ninety carloads—of Grove’s Tonic hate been sold this year from Jan. 1st, 1900, and as “ orders are truly a good index of a medicine’s worch” no one can doubt the virtue of Grove’s Tonic. Druggist* all sell Grove’s Tonic on a no ciire, no pay basis, for fifty cents a bottle. ffl OPENED HER SKULL tin. Lasher’s Remarkable Story—Dr. Greene’s Reran Cured Rer.

1 If MBS. FRED. C. DASHER, JR. The case of Mrs. Fred. C. Lasher, Jr., a well-known woman of Westport* N. Y., is one of the most interesting on record. It is an actual fact that headaches caused herjhead to split 44 For thirteen years,” she says, 441 suffered from terrible headaches night and day, until the bones of m3’ skull opened so that the doctor could lay bli?thumb right into the opening >n to my brain. Two doctors attended me and claimed that I was on the verge of insanity. I was under their care for nine years, but got no relief. Thei. I tried Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and inside of a year &e bones of my head had taken their natural shape again.” That Mrs. Lasher's statements are true is vouched for by reliable men of Westport, and by a Justice oi; the Peace there. Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy cured Mrs. Iiasher when all other remedies failed, and it cures thousands of suffering women svery year.
