PROVIDES

FOR SICK WOMEN a more potent remedy in the roots and herbs of the field than was ever produced from drugs. In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers few drugs were used in medicines and Lydia E. Pinkham. of Lynn. Mass., in her study of roots and herbs and their power over disease discovered and gave to the women of the world a remedy for their peculiar ills more potent and efficacious than any combination of drugs.

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is an honest, tried and true remedy of unquestionable therapeutic value. During its record of more than thirty years, its long list of actual cares of those serious ills peculiar to women, entitles Lydia E. Pinlcham's Vegetable Compound to the respect and confidence of every fair minded person and every thinking woman. When women are troubled with irregular or painful fnnctior, weakness, displacements, ulceration or inflammation, backache flatulency, general debility, indigestion or nervous prostration, the 3 should remember there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Pirkham's Vegetable Compound. Ho other remedy in the country has such a record of cures f

States bear willing testimony to the

nam s Vegetable compound and what it has done lor them. Mrs. Iinhham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. For twenty-five years she has been advising sick women free of charge. She is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and as her assistant for years before her decease advised under her

immediate direction. Address, Lynn, Vi: Trne Polftene. "Silent Smith," paid a broker, wa A jood, kind man. but a bus; one; A foe to hore and time wasters.

The Story of a Medicine It3 name "Golden Medical Discovery was suggested by one of its most important and valuable ingredients Golden Seal root. Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce discovered that he could, by the use of pure, triple-refined glycerine, aided by a certain degree of constantly maintained heat and with the aid of apparatus and appliances designed for that purpose, extract from our most valuable native medicinal roots their curative properties much better than by the use of alcohol, so generally employed. So th- now worldfamed "Golden Medical Disvery," for the cure of. weak stomach, indigestion, or dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and kindred derange; nts was first made, as It ever sin n, without & particle of alcohol i up.

Only twntwo -miles from New York, on Lon Island, and facing the Atlantic Ocean, stands . the famous Long Bearh Hotel. From its great veranda thousands of men. women and children can be seen at any hour cnJoyiLg the finest turf bathing on the Atlantic coast, while farther out to sea over the waves are clearly visible the great ocean steamers plying their way between New York and Europe. This great hotel has been entirely renovated and refurnished, and is this wason under tV management of W. Johnson Quinn, proprietor of the wellknown Hotel Empire, GTM and Broadway, New York, which is an assurance that guests will get the value of their money while tarrying this year at Long Beach. Tens of thousands from the great middle west visit New Yoii during the summt? months, and while there this season a little detour for a few days to the famous Long Beach Hotel, with Its ocean breezes, its suXerb surf bathing and unexcelled cuisine, would certainly add much to the pleasures of the trip.

"My little boy, when only an Infant of three months, caught the Cuban Itch. Sores broke out from his head to the bottom of his feet He would Itch and claw himself and cry all tta time. He could not sleep day or n'.gtt, and a light dress ia all be could wear. I called one of our best doctors to treat hfcn, but he seemed to get worse. He suffered so terribly that my husband said he believed be would have to die. I had almost given up hope when a lady friend told me to try the Cuticura Remedies. I used the Cutlcura Soap and applied the Cuticura Ointment and he at once fell into a sleep, and be slept with ease for the first tlace since two months. After three applications the sores began to dry up, and In Just two weeks from the day I commenced to use the Cuticura Remedies my baby was entirely well. The treatment only cost me 75c, and I would have gladly paid $100 If I could not have got It cheaper. I feel safe in saying that the Cuticura Remedies saved his life. He is now a boy of fife years.

How Philanthropist Teabodr IVai Jndged Ity Irish Flabfrmrn. A good story of John Bright and Tea lody, the philanthropist, is recalled bj Justice Johnson's Interesting referenc to the former in his charge to the Jurj at Limerick In the action of William O'Brien, M. F. The judge pointed oul that It was to Bright, who came frequently to Ireland to fish at Castleconnell, near Limerick, that they owed tb initiation of the action to buy land is Ireland for tho tenants. On these occasions the great tribune was alwoy accompanied by George Peabody. One day they went a couple of milci up the Shannon between Castleconneli and Kallaloe. Thoy bad engaged tht services of two boatmen and as Bright and Peabody were keen anglers they mado a long day of it On returning In tue evening Bright noticing a policeman on the river bank. a?ked what sum the boatmen were entitled to for their time. The constab! said anything from seven and sixpence to ten shillings. Bright turned to hi companion, saying: "I have no change, Peabody ; have j-ou three half crowns?" The millionaire produced the colnj and gave them to one of the boatmen, who said: "And Is that all ye're givln' me?" "That is all," replied Teahody. "Well, that bates all I iver heardobserved the boatman, adding, as h scratched his head, MAn they call y Pay body. Faith, I should call you Pay nobody !" DOCTOR'S FOOD TALK. Selection of Food One of (he Most Important Act In Life. A Mass. doctor says: "Our health and physical and mental happiness ar so largely under our personal control tliat the irorer selection of food should 1 and is one of the most Important a.-ts In life. "On this .subject, I may say that I know of no food equal in digestibility, and more powerful in point of nutrin;ent, than the modern (I rape-Nuts, four heapins teasjoons of which Is sufficient for the cereal part of o meal, and experience demonstrates that the user is iierfeetly nourished from one jieal to another. "I am convinced that the extensive and general us; of liili class footYs of this character would Increase the term cf human life, add to the sum tital of happiness and very considerably Improve society In general. I am free- to mention the food, for I personally know of its value." drape-Nuts food can bo used by babes In arms, or adults. It Is ready cooked, can bo served Instantly, cither cold with cream, or with hot water or hot milk ioured over. All sorts of puddings and fancy dishes can be made with Grape-Xuts.

The cost of feoJins an animal Increasrs with its weight, ' but not In direct proiKjrtion.to the weight. Farm life may be made a burden or a pkasurp, according to the management of tho homo, tho farm and tho farm work. One point in favor of goose raising over turkey raising, is, tho young do not require so much care and feed; another, any enclosure will restrain thorn. Illinds are entirely unnecessary if the colt has been properly broken. They make a horse nervous, because he cannot see what is making a noise behind him. Land well-cultivated "and enrichx-d year after year, by all the manure made uion the farm, supplemented with legume crops, will give maximum yields, u:ider skilled tillage. Seed iK-as may Ik dipped In hot water for a few minutes, or exposed to the gases of bisulphide of carbon, in order to destroy the poa weevil. Late peas are not so suhjet to attack as those sown early. For embellishing lawns and halfshady corners, nothing exceeds the hydrangea granifiora. It gives a mass cf bcaitlful large bunches of flowers and is always attractive. It certainly pays as well to "breed up" a strain of seed corn, as to "breed up" a strain of cattle. Great Improvement surely comes through "wise selection. The farmer who annually selects the most perfect ears for seed, rapidly climbs the ladder of success. It seems a pity to dispose of. dairy calves almost as soon as dropped. Many are not fit for food and the price they bring is often too small to seriously consider. Some dairymen are now breeding the cows to leef bulls and raising the calves to maturity, which seems to be a feasible plan. Peas will probably hoar deeper planting than other seeds. The crop delights in a cool, moist soil, and deep planting insures ths! conditions. It has been found, however, that making a furrow 7 or 8 Inches deep, filling it with a mixture of soil and a proportion of fertilizer, and planting the peas on this, - inches lelow the surface, produces letter results than deeper planting. If the pea roots prefer to go own dcciKT, they will do so, provided tlu gardener has prepared the pro j er conditions. Peas may be planted at any time for a late supply. lloxr the IOnBlln IVed CalvM. In England, calf-meals are fed by nearly every stock-grower, and, as a large part of tbe milk produced In the kingdom Is sent to the city for immediate consumption, tho calves ire put uion a calf-meal ration at as early an age as possible. Many ealf-feed?rs buy the commercial calf-mrals, while some of the most progressive farmers feed meals of their own mixing. As the ingredients employed In the manufacture of these calf-meals are kept a secret as far as possible, the cotuios!tion of the most successful milk substitutes is not generally known. In some cases a chemical analysis has shown them to be comiosed largely of flax-seed "meal and linseed oilcake ineal. with n little fenugreek or fennel seed added to give a characteristic odor. Following is a formula recommended by one of the agricultural colleges or England. This formula Ls as follows: Flour, 1 2-3 pounds. Flaxseed meal, C3 1-3 pounds. Linceed oil-cake meal, 50 pounds. The directions were: "Take 2 1-3 pounds cf the meal as a day's allownmv for each calf; scald with boüing water, afterward adding more water, so as to make two gallons from the wttght of tho meal; add a little sugar, and salt before feeding. It should gradually tak the place of new milk after the first fortnight. Sot Bean and Mlrnsrn. When tho soy bean was first introduced into America it did not form root tubercles. In order to injure the growth of the root tubercles it is necessary to use the seed that has !con inoculated, or to inoculate the soil with tho proper organism. This I?.,1 is readily done by nnlying broadtvt a small amount of soil taken ficm a field where soy beans developing root tulx'rci'es have been growing. At tt? Maine station no tubercles formed on plants grown in soil that has I wen inoculated, but they grew abundantly where soil from infested soy heim was applied at tht rate of a few barrels X) the acre. The beans will grow as well without the root tubercles as with, provided they are liU rally fertilised. Their economical growth derends up; n the presence u the root tubercle?, as in this way they can be gtown with little or no nitrogen in the fertilizer. If they are to bo grown on soil containing no root tubercle organisms they require a fairly liberal application of thi complete fertilizer. If grown in good soil when root t übendes may 1r expected to develop, only phosphoric add and iotash need Ui applied in tiie fertilizer. The soil should bo prepared s for ordinary U'ar.s. It should be nade fine, free from dots and lump-, and smooth. A good seed bid is essential to a good growth. Rnemlt-N at Frnlt. The destruction of fungi and these insects that begin work early in the year usually commences before fpring opens, drapevines should be cleared up and the vines thoroughly sprayed, so as to destroy spores on the soil, and a heavy application of lime on the soil should be given for the same purpose. All the preparation for spraying Is

ill

done early, fo as to get to work as soon as possible. The grape rot has been nearly exterminated in those sections whore the growers have sprayed thoroughly during the growing season, but there are always spores on the vines, and on tho ground, which can be reduced by spraying. It is also important that every twig, branch or limb cut off a tree or vine should be burned, ai d if this precaution is observed tbe work will he lessened every year. The winter portion of the work should never bo overlooked, as it Is tho early work that gives tlw- best results. The barnyard may be fuil of manure, where it is in the way. while tho currants and gooseberry patches greatly need It. Tut it on liberally, all around the plants, and all over the ground, and work it well into the soil, using a mulch also, and cultivation will bo necessary. Fertilizers are beneficial at all seasons, especially phosphates and pota.sh, and may be protitahly u?od, oven when manure Is plentiful, as the plant foods in fertilizers are soluble and ready for ßp proprlation by the crops. Commercial IVrdlnjc Staff. Tho footling stuffs examined undei the Connecticut State law by the experiment station included cottonseed feed, -iinseed meal, raie-soed meal, entire wheat meal, wheat bran, wheat middlings, mixed wheat food, maize meal, gluten food, hominy feed, rye feed, ground oats, buckwheat middlings, malt sprouts, dried distillers' grains, dried brewers grains, miscellaneous mixed and proprietary foeL. special poultry feeds, meat scrap and ground lone, condimental cattle feed., corn silage and corn for ensiling. As a whole, the results show fewei discrepancies totween guaranteed and actual composition than formerly, and the authors state there scorns little evi dence of any desire on the part of the manufacturers to deceive the public regarding the quality of feed. "There are, however, a good many feeds offered for sale ; which could not be sold to feeders who ipply a fair knowledge of the art of feeding stock and business methods to the buying of their food." The bifyer should study the market price and composition of commercial feeds and make his selection accord ingly. "Cotton and linseed meals, the glu ten and wheat feeds, distillery and brewers' grains, and a few other stand ard things suiiIy digestible protein at reasonable prices. Thoy arc all that any feeder needs to supplement and balance the hay, silage, stover and cornmcal which his farm produces. They are tho only commercial foods which will supplement them. It Is ab solutely ImjossIble to balanco the food which the farm produces with bought feed containing less than 13 per cent of protein, which Is more than inaDy of these commercial feeds show. Fro ; Farming. For some years the Pennsylvania de partmcnt of l'sherics has been study Ing various questions pertaining to frog raising, and the present bulletin suuiniari7.es data on tho Kubject and may be regarded as a progress reiorr. According to the author of a recent bulletin, "frog ponds may be In any waste, marshy land, providing water chn be flowed through them, or any lend whatever into which water can be introduced from a stream or spring, preferably the former, because of a usually higher temperature." For profitable frog culture the author believes at least three acres are required, and this should bo divided Into about ten Ionds. As the ponds are not all needed at the beginning their construction may be scattered over a period of two years. At the outset a small pond Is required for hatching eggs and devel A. 1 At. oping xne iauioies, men ponds are needed for the young frogs and for the 2-year-oIds ami 3-yoar-oIJs. The ponds must be fenced to prevent the frogs from escaping. The principal enemies are birds. snakes, eels, fishes and tho larvae of the water beetle, the latter being espe cially dangerous. As regards food, tadpoles will eager ly devour any dead anhual matter, but prefer fish. AlKnit 23 pounds of fish per week Is sufficient for tho needs of CO.CN) tadpoles. Fifteen to 20 pounds of liver would also 1 sufficient for the same number, but the liver must be fresh. The liver should be fed In small quantities, but the fish may be thrown Into the water whole. After the logs develop the quantity of food should be diminished. Fully developed frogs need live food and insects may bo attracted to the ponds by placing wards near the edge smeared with masses of honey, and In similar ways. Other questions regarding the habits of frogs, feeding, rearing, etc. are also discussed. Failed In Small Thlnn.

TOO MUCH FOR THE CHIEF.

He Con Id n.' Stand Havlqcr a Mule Fired at Him. The Indian, stolid ns he looks, jkjssesses a sense of humor which sometimes displays itself at unexpected times. The Itev. Egerton It. Young gives au example of this in "Stories from Indian Wigwams." The tale was tcld to tho autlior by deneral Custer himself only a short time before deneral Custer was killed. Custer, following a band of hostile Indians, drove them up to a region of mountains and ravines. At one time he mad an all-night march, and in the morning came ujon a group of unsuspecting red mem The enemy was taken completely off guard, and without attempting to fight, fled, disappearing In the valley, and leaving Custer with little hopes of capturing any of them. The general was at the top of a steep bluff, below which the Indians had retreated. The company had with them a small howitzer, carried on the back of a large mule. Custer ordered that this gun should be' loaded while btill on the animal, and tired down the side of the bluff, where the greatest number of the enemy has disappeared. For pome reason or other the mule was dislodged by the concussion, lost Its footing, and went crashing down the bluff Into the undergrowth far below. Meanwhile, troops had descended the other side of the bluff, and were searching the woods beneath. After a time they came back with a large number of Indians and one chief, known to be very warlike and cunning. Custer expressed his surprise to this chief, ami asked him how he came to be captured. "deneral," said the red man, "I am üot afraid to fight men armed with tows and arrows, or with spears and tomahawks; and I love the battle with your soldiers armed with guns. You know I have not often been beaten. I have heard the roar of big guns, and have not beon afraid. But, general," here came a bit of a twinkle in his eye. "when you fired a whole mule at me, I said, 'It is time to surrender!" He and his men had Iveen In hiding In the underbrush at Just the siot where the howitzer and the mule crash ed through. OSTEICH FARMING PROFITABLE. Pair of Dlrds 4 Yrin Old Are Worth tsoo. And, finally, In the list of California poultry, a place must be reserved for the biggest of them all, the ostrich, says the Los Angele3 Herald. An acre of alfalfa furnishes n home and food for four birds, and each full-grown bird yield a crop of 1 pounds of feathers, worth ?20 a pound, and a hen lays from 30 to 00 eggs during tbe year. each one of which weighs 3Vi iound.s. With the advent of an Incubator tnat will hatch the eggs, the business is crowing in proportion. A C-month-old chick is worth $100. At the age of 1 jear it is valued at $150; at 2 years. from $200 to $250; at 3 years, from .$300 to $350, and at 4 years, the age at which the birds pair, .they are worth f$S(0 a pair. The young birds are kept In droves of from twenty-five to fifty. When they ;are a year old the hens and cocks are separated and kept in large flocks with their own sex, and at the age of 3j prears they are paired off and each pair kept separate. . In the quality of the feathers there lg a vast difference. "White Ilrunos" and " bloc d feathers" are worth about $Ud a pound, there being about ninety feathers to the pound. "Drabs," the poorest grade, such as are used In .feather dusters, bring $4 a jound. The eggs are fine, both scrambled and as omelets. The ostrich has been known to produce over 300 pounds of 'egg food In one year. As one egg makes as much omelet as two and a half dozen hens' eggs, their use Is re stricted to toarding houses. In 1U0. there were 2,200 ostriches on farms In the United States, these being In Arizona, California, Florida and Arkansas. MAKING HABITAT QEOUPS. 3Iot Minute Detail Are Ileprodaced At Great Expense. Stuffing the skins of birds and of animals Is no longer the method used in un-to-date taxidermy. The latest thing Is the manikin system. This is the method employed In the preparation of the so-called habitat groups, showing birds and animals in their natural surroundings. In making these groups expense ls not Fpared. Pieces cf rock, stones, Khella, plants, and even iarth are brought from the localities v hose general characteristics are to be produced. The artist who is to paint tho background goes to the very place itself and paints from na ture. If leaves or small, soft twigs are to be reproduced, plaster impressions are taken of the real objects and melted wax Is run Into these molds, so that every line and vein Is shown. The wax leaf or twig Is then sprayed with paint,, says a writer In Fur News, the operator using an air brush, so as not to put on more paint than Is necessary. In some Instances the leaves are punctured to represent injuries Inflict ed by Insects. The finished loaves are attached to the stems of the plants or trees so skillfully that they have ev ery appearance of growing there. Two men and two women are employed at the museum continually in this branch of the work alone. In representing water, sheets of celluloid are used, which are so strong that when placed in position in the case, tbey will bear the weight of a man. This substance is used to groat advan tage In this branch of the work, as ii may be cut to any shape and may also be bored full of holes to admit tho stems of water grasses, cattails, etc.. without darger of breaking.

How Auloi Injure Ho dm. i Do motor cars wear out a road faster than horse-drawn vehicles? This question is answered in the allirmative by James II. Macdonald, highway com missioner' of the State of Connecticut, who asserts that automobile owners in his part of the country generaly agree with this conclusion. The public-spir it! owner of a motor car should be willing, he thinks, to contribute toward the extraordinary repair expenses entailed by the use of his class of vehicles, and most owners are ready to do so, ho believes, provided they can be assured that the money will be used .solely for road repairs. Iiut how do the automobiles injure the roads? Says Mr. Macdonald in a report republished in part In the Good Itoads Magazine: "In nine out of ten of our towns where macadam roads have been con structed, artificial moistening of roads is not resorted to by the oflicials. The use of the sprinkling cart seems to bo a lost art, and the only moisture the macadam receives is from the rain and the dew, except, of course, in winter. when there are occasional snowstorms. For that reason only macadam roads are very dry in summer and become an easy prey for rapidly moving auto mobiles. The low-hanging machinery of the car restricts the space from the top of the road to a narrow opening which the rapidly moving cars trans form into a draft, the suction from which removes all loose or Insecure particles from the surface of the road, very much as the carpet sweeper op orates. "The screenings top has two use ful purposes. One is to form a cush Ion to protect the second course of stone, which is the course of the stone immediately ' under the screenings or finishing surface of the road. This cushion protects the underlying stone from direct contact with the shoe of the horse and the tire of the wagon Its second ollice Is to retain moisture in the summer time, thus preserving the cementing properties of the screen ings, and in winter furnishing a cover Ing that lessons the entrance of frost into the road, and also removes the possibility of disiDtergation and heav ing of the road screenings. It also operates to prevent autumn rains from penetrating into the courses of stone. thus Inviting frosts and leaving the road, when the frost departs, green and very susceptible and responsive to travel. "In the summer time, particularly when our roads are very popular and are used largely by all kinds of vehicles either for business or pleasure, the 'passing of one of these rapidly moving cars removes from the road its Intended protection.

TO READERS OF THE

ES' HOME JOURNAL:

i i Did you read the article published by The Ladies' Home Journal

la May 1904, attacking Dr. Pierce's Pavonte Prescription ! liave you seen the statement more recently made by Mr. Bok, the Hditor of 1 that magazine that his company "has not paid a single penny to Dr! R V. Pierce's concern in settlement of any suit " ? We

wish you to know the truth. The facts are these : I Four days after the article in May' 1904, appeared, Dr. Pierce's company sued The Ladies' Home Journal publishers for libel.1 The trial was had in April last. Dr. Pierce proved that the attack made by, The Ladies' Home Journal was false. He proved that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription does nof, and narr did contain either alcohol or any, of the injurious drugs which The Ladies' Home Journal falsely stated it did contain. This was so conclusively shown that the attorneys for; The Ladies' Home Journal were forced to admit it. The jury rendered a verdict against The Ladies' Home Journal in Favor of Dr. Pierce's company for $16,000.00. This was a complete vindication of Doctor, Pierce and his "Favorite Prescription." It judicially established that the libel was wholly false, and without any justification. Dr. Pierce, however, believed that his company is justly entitled to a verdict for a much larger sum. Through his attorneys he has.j therefore, applied to the court for a new trial cf the case. For this reason, and for this reason alone, has The Ladies' Home Journal not yet paid "a single penny to Dr. R. V. Pierce's concern." Dr. Pierce has simply chosen not to collect the judgment tintil the motion for a new trial has been decided. m In the light of these facts does not this boastful statement that it "has not paid a single penny to Dr. R. V. Pierce's concern" look like

a cheap and common blun, a nail Durinc the trial of the libel Bust against the above mentioned publishers. Dr. Lee H. Smith, Vice-President cf the World's Dispensary Medical Association, stated undtr oath that the ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription were wholly extracted from the following nativejoots; Golden Sel, Ehic Cohosh, La-di's Slipper Black C&losh and Unicornshy means of pure glycerine of proper itierigth. He was &skeJ how he knew, as aihysician and experienced medical manhat the "Favorite Vrescription was are foe the diseaseX peck liar to wormnSfuch as " female Xweaaness.C wKki)hnepelvic catarrhalXdraiWs. üISlAsus.

This experience of Dr. fmlth w&s corroborated by the fctacdard Medical Authorities, of the sereral schools of practice, endorsinc the r&rlous ingredients In the strongest terms. Dr. Smith bein? asked to name some of these authorities as to the curative yalue of the above roots read from the standard works, such as the United states Dispnsa I tory; The American Dispensatory; organic Medicines, by Grorer Coe, M.
