THE COME AND SEE SIGN

This sign is permanently attached to the front of the main building of the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Company, Lynn, Mass. What Does This Sijrn Mean ? It means that public inspection oi the Laboratory and methods of doin? business is honestly desired. Itmeans that there is nothing about the business which is not "open and aboveboard.'' It means that a permanent invitation is extended to anyone to come and verify any and all statements made in the advertisements of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Is it a purely vegetable compound made from roots and herbs without drugs ? Come and See. Do the women of America continually use as much of it as we are told ? Come and See. Was there ever such a 'person as Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick woman are asked to write ? Come and See. Is the vast private correspondence with sick women conducted by women only, and are the letters kept strictly confidential ? Come and See. Have they really got letters from over one million, one hundred thousand women correspondents? Come and See. Have they proof that Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured thousands of these women 'i Come and See. This advertisement is only for doubters. The great army of women who know from their own personal experience that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for female ills will still go on using and being lenefited by it ; but the poor doubting, suffering woman must, for her own ?ake,be taught contidenceorshealso might just as well legain her health.

THE IMPENETRABLE SECRET.

From Adam's arrifiil In thin wicked world To the wonderful ngo wo nie in. Our wise men h.ive shattered some pretty hard nuta, And also committed much sin; But one of the problems that's baffled them aJl, And has put all their science to rout. Is Fomething concerning the sex we adore, What a woman is thinking altout. Iler eyes may be lauphin at sonjt thiii? we wear And her face may be solemn as death ; Iler tongue may be wagging on forty-odd themes Till she's really gasping for breath; But the wisdom and science of all the world Isn't able to clearly find out What flits through her mind, or ran even surmise What a woman is thinking about Her Hps may bo spying n host of swot things. And her eyes with true love be enshrined; Iler lover may think that he knows cv'ry thought In her gentle and feminine mind; But the very -iext breath her mood is transformed. And she's having a mystical pout: All. all of love's logic cannot make It clear What a woman is thinking about.

"I reckon Jim must have spent as much ns 12 or $15 in fixin's." "Clost on to it," replied the storekeeper. "These young married fellows ell do that, fust off, hut they pit bravely over it, as a gln'ral thing." "I seen him over to the hardware store buy In, too," said Sol Raker. "It won't last," predicted Tarsons. "I know Jim." "I reckon you think you know him," drawled Washington Hancock. "Mabbe j'ou're right and mabbe you're wron. Claj Trumbell didn't get over It. 'Member the fuss there wuz along the Little Tarkio when Clay pot married r "Xo." replied Tarsons. "What about?" "It mu thls-a-way," said Hancock. " 'Bout twenty years apo the folks over that way wuz as mean an' ornery as they are now, most of 'em.

"Clay wuz a right nice boy an' a worker au' bimeby he got enough raked on' scraped together, though he wuzn't noways tight-fisted, to get married.

Anyway Clay married her an' Iben trouble began." "It most gln'rally does,'' observed the itorekeener. "It wuzn't that kind o trouble, though." said Ilaneock. Clay Jest nachally thought the world of the gal an made up Iiis mind that there wuzn't nothln he could get her that wuz too good for her. Fust thing you know be'd drawed money out o' the bank an wuz spendin right an left. "About a month after that all you rould hear from the wimmen folks around there wuz talk o' the washla machine Clay Trumbell had got for his wife that done up the hull wash with a turn o' the hand an' the patent churn he'd brung her from Fairfax an her Ux-hole cook range, spick an' span new, in' her Uecloth In the kitchen an' her Jisbes, an the way Clay had piped the ivnter from the spring clear Into the house.

"One mornin' he met Clay In town an' told him that he'd concluded he'd sell a piece o' land he had j'l .In on to Clay's eighty farm. Clay'd been wantin to buy It for quite a spell, but he couldn't see his way to it. M'I'd give you time if you c'd make a cash payment. Clay,' says the ol' man. 'I'll give you time au' make the price right. Twelve dollars an acre.' "Clay still couldn't see his way, though the land wuz cheap at that, so Rolsover come down $2 on it, an' then $3. Clay's mouth watered. Fin'ly he said be'd buy It if It wusn't for the cash payment, but he only had about ?100 to his name. "If you could raise another hundred I'd let it go,' says Bolsover. 'Mablw you could borrow It I reckon Jupp would let you have it.' "It turned out that Jupp would an the upshot wuz that they give him a deed an' mortgaged him up to his eyebrows, fixia the payments so's they'd come hard an' there wouldn't be nothln' more'u enough to pay for groceries. That wuz the way they fixed Clay." "Mighty good way, too," said the storekeeper, approvingly. "Yaas," agreed Hancock. If it hadn't been that Clay sold that piece of land at f 13 an acre about six months after an' bou;ht carpet for the bedroom an' got his wife a hired gal it would have worked all right." Chicago News. RIVER TRAFFIC IN MEXICO. How Producta of the Interior Are Ilrooebt to the Coast. It would be a difficult matter to estimate the number of peoplewho are directly dependent upon the mercantile supplies of this port. bur. it is certain that the number can be written with six figures, says the Tampico 'correspondent of the Mexlcal Herald. More than r.,000 of these boats are in commission on the Tames! and Panuco rivers, they vary in length from twenty to sixty feet and carry the wild and cultivated products of the interior to Tampico. where they discharge their cargoes and reload with merchandise and other supplies. With two great waterways, the Tamcsi and the Panuco, the native navigators find their business profitable, despite the fact that it requires about thirty days to make a round trip to distant points on tho river. Every conceivabl form of tropical plant and fruit may be found In their cargoes, as well as native made earthenware and other manufactured articles. A long polo is the only compass required by the cur tain of one of these barks, but he wields the bamboo which pilots him safely over the shoal-fllled waters of a tropical waterway. Many of the plantations along the rivers keep several of these boats in commission all the time, carrying their smaller products to the market and bringing back supplies for the hacienda. In the early hours of the morning green bananas are piled up along the wharves like cordwood, baskets of eocoanuts, pineapples, wild and cultivated lemons and oranges and innumerable other products of the tropics can be seen In enormous quantities. And It Is surprising how quickly the supply of the day is exhausted. A string of freight cars on the track opposite tha market are waiting for a portion of most every cargo, and by noon there Is little left but the small fruits and vegetables In moderate quantities. Pol I Ilea and tl Gun. A Princeton man who is a friend of ex-President Cleveland tella n good story In connection with a hunting trip that Cleveland once took through the Adirondack region. It appears that the former President had as his guide an eccentric character named Clark Bruce. Chick was entirely without awe in the presence of distinguished persons; so when he observed the President holding hi gun In what seemed to be specially careless fashion, the woodsman expressed himself rather freely. "Here!" he exclaimed, "what are ye doln. sir, pointln' your gun at yourself In' that way?" Cleveland meekly Inquired the cause of the admonition. "What's the matter?" repeated the rulde Indignantly. "Don't you let the muzzle of that gun ever point In your own direction when I'm around! Suppose the blamed, thing should go off! That would put mo in a nice fix. wouldn't it? me. a black Itepublican !" A Suspicion Character. ".Ilminee. but Mr. flood, the candidate for county treasurer, is mad at you." said the foreman of the country weekly. "What! Why, we gave him a great send-off in tills week's paper."

DARKNESS IS VISIBLE.

Jap neue Hingen Whfre It Ik Dim at Slldday. Without having actually seen them, you canuot Imagine how dark some Japanese country villages remain even in the brightest and hottest weather. In the neighborhood of Tokyo its-olf there are many villages of this kJnd. At a short distance from such a settl nient you see no houses; nothing Is visible but a dense grove of evergreen trees. The grove, which is usuall composed of .voting cedars and bainboos, serves to shelter the village from storms, and also to supply timber for various purposes. So closely are the trees planted that there is no room to pass between the trunks of them; they stand straight as masts, and mingle their crests so as to form a roof that excludes the sun. Each thatched cottage occupies a clear space in the plantation, the trees forming a feme about it, double the height of the building. Under the trees it is always twilight, even at noon ; and tb" houses, morning or evening, are half In shadow. What makes the first Impression of such a village almost disquieting is, not the transparent gloom, which has a certain weird charm of its own, but the stillness. There may be fifty or a hundred dwellings; but you see nobody; and hear no sound but the twitter of Invisible birds, the occasional crowing of cocks, and the shrilling of cicadae. Fvcn the cicadae find these groves too dim, and sing faintly ; being sun lovers, they prefer the trees outside the village. I forgot to say that you may sometimes hear a viewless shuttle chaka-tou, chaka-ton but that familiar tJound, In the great green silence, seems an elfish happening. The reason of the hush Is simply that the people are not at home. AU the adults have gone to the neighboring fields, the women carrying their babies on their back; ami most of the children have gone to the nearest school, perhaps not less than a mile away. Yerilj', one seems to behold the mysterious perpetuation of conditions recorded in the texts i( Kwang Tze : "The ancients who had the nourishment of the world wished for nothing, and the world had enough; they did nothing, and all things were transformed; their stillness was abysmal, and the people were all composed." Atlantic Monthly. PERILOUS REDE IN A ROWBOAT. How Two Michigan Men Gained a Valuable Timber Claim. Bert Marquette and A. Rogers, two Cheboygan (Mich.) tlmler cruisers, beat out rivals for a valuable piece of land by using a leaky row boat to ferry them across thirty miles of stormy water separating Isle Iloyale from the north shore of Lake Superior, says the St Paul Dispatch. Marquette and Rogers were in Duluth waiting for navigation to open, so they might be first on the ground. They took the first steamer out for Isle Royale, and learned that two other meu on the vessel were bound on the same mission the looking over a piece of timbered land on Isle Royale as a preliminary to HU lnir on It as a stone and timber claim. Isle Royale is In the Marquette (Mich.) land district, and whoever reached Marquette first and made his filing would be entitled to the land under the law. It looked very much as if the race would depend upon the last spurt of the four from thd railroad station nt Marquette to the laud office, for they svould have to depend on the same boats and trains to get them to the island and then to the Michigan town, but Rogers and Marquette, knowing there would not be an early boat bark to TJuluth so early In the season, decided to take a chance with a rowboat, which they found tied In a sheltered cove. The idea seemed foolhardy, for thirty miles of water intervened between the isle and the mainland, and as it was the season of storms, there seemed about one chance in ten of a rowboat being able to make such a trip. But the Michigan men cast caution aside md took the rowboat, leaving $3 as rental, together with a note explaining t'mt the craft would be returned. It was not until they had got out from the shore that they found that the boat leaked, but by bailing with the fups they carried In their packsacks they managed to keep it from sinking. No serious storms occurred during the trip, though there was enough wind to keep the rowboat in constant langer of being swamped, but the north höre was made In safety and from there the men traveled by foot and tage to the Alger-Smith railroad and thence to Two Harbors by train. From there to Duluth and Marquette the Journey was easy, and the cruisers won jut by an easy margin. The rowboat was sent back to the island by the icxt steamer. PROLONG LIFE OF TILE TIE. Tlatea Placed Jn Brnrath tba Ralla Foaod to Da Sat iafartory. Upon the advice of the bureau of forestry the Oulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad eight months ago began to experiment with wooden tie plates. These plates are Intended to protect the tie from wear under the rail. They are cut the width of the bottom of the rail and as long as the tie Is wide usually six or seven inches and are kept In place by the weight of the rail. In a flat groove in the tie. The results of the experiment are of much Interest both to the railroads of the country ami to those who have tit heart the cauo of forest protection. The Santa Fe places cypress tie plates one-quarter of an inch thick on several thousand old and much-worn fyprcss ties laid in its track north of rSalveston, Texan. After eight months rf constant tme the plates are perfectly sound and show practically not a trace of wear. The officials of the road are greatly pleased with the reMilt of this trial. The bureau of forestry will now make similar experiments with red gum. red oak and beeth tie plates, which will ho placed In the tracks of the St. Louis ami San Franeisoo, the Burlington and the Northern Pa;'iti' systems. These are nil harder :kIs than ."ypress and jut, therefore, less liable to wear tinder the rails, but are inu'-h more subject to decay. The tie plates made from these woods will, therefore, nil be heavily ereosotcd. This make them about as resistant to decay a the untreated cypress. whi! tin ir much greater hardness will better qualify them to resist the wear of the rails. When a farm -r comes into ixsscsslon of a traction engine, he delights to lire it up, and go snorting through the streets of the town where he trades. There is always someone to say that model husband is henpecked.

Good second growth clover Is a great feed for lambs.

The grass-grown pigs f.re the ones that make the best breeding animals. Sheep quickly find weak spots in a fence. See that there are no weak spots. Trying to run a farm without manure is like trying to run an automobile without gasoline. Step worrying over the troubles of yesterday and get ready to overcome those of to-morrow. . a wol) bred sire will often add twr or three pounds in weight of flesh or fleece over a poor one. Young hogs should be sprayed and dipped freely to keep them free from parasites and skin diseases. Keep the ewes on gTass till November and then confine them In clean sheds and feed oats, bran and ollmeal. When the lambs are weaned place .them in a pasture so far from the ewes that they cannot hear each other's cries. The sheep feeding business got a hard Jolt last winter, but it Is rapidly recovering. Stick to a small flock. They will pay. Never put sheep into a field inclosed with barbed wire. Another thing: Never use barlel wire for any kind of a fence. Rain and mud do sheep a great deal of harm. In summer have an open shed for shelter which they can reach quickly In case of storm. Some farmers who think they cannot run the place withoit a hired man would yell murder if their wives asked them to get tLwn a hired girl. If we all stepped for a moment's sound thinking before starting out on a new enterprise It would save some of us the trouble of retracing our steps. If she.'p have a big tree or other shelter on a hill where the wind blows they will do better in summer time than if compelled to stand in tight sheds on low ground. Roup Is caused by cold. When the eye begin to swell and look Inflamed mix a little quinine with the feed and also spray the throat and nostrils with burnt alum dissolved In camphorated II. The boys may not say much when they are forced to work sixteen hours a day without a share in, the profits, but they suddenly run off o the city. It shows they have been doing gome strong thinking. The word develop is often misused for the word fatten. This is a mistake. In order to develop n pig he must have suitable food to keep up a good growth of bone and muscle and regular exercise to give him strength and vigor. Toada and Sqnaah Bag:. Many people believe that the to:d will eat that humble creature, the squash bug. Prof. Weed of New Hamp shire, has found that the odor given off this bug will actually kill the toad if confined in a small space. The pungent fumes threw the toad into a sort of a itupor, similar to the effect produced by chloroform. When very hungry the toad will eat a few of the bugs, but evidently does not relish tho diet. Cotton Srrd Producta. The oils go Into lard compounds, oleomargarines,' salad oil and lubricating oil ; the cake and meal Into feed and fertilizers, the hulls into feed and paper stock, and the linters into battings, yarns and felt. In fact, the many ultimate ends of seed product are but types of the value of the whole cotton plant, to the many purposes of its fiber there now being added, feed, fiber paper stock and fertilizer from the stalk, and the root being used for fuel, fertilizer or medicinal purposes. A plant that furnishes material for fowl, clothing, medicine, fuel and shelter Is, perhaps the most unique plant In the world, and the development of the cotton seed industry in half a century from an undertaking with a few thounand dollars capital to one representing n investment of $ lOO.Crf K000, is one of the most unique demonstrations of the economic utilization of wastes. Manufacturers' Record. (ironl n sc Soy Henna. Soy beans are a good crop to raise, particularly for the email farmer. The bean. bring a high price from $l..r0 to $2 per bushel. Ry growing a variety like Mammoth Yellow on soil that has been well prepared and fertilized, a yield of twenty to forty bushels to the ncre hould be secured, and as the soy bean Is a legume it will Improve the toil. Soy beans should be Inoculated before p.'antlng on a field where they bare not been previously grown. When the ground has been well mellowed and t lie crop Is wanted for pasture in the green form, or for hay or manure. It may be broadcast or planted in rows. When wanted mainly for the gra!n t'e col is put in rows with the grain tlrill more commonly, but sometimes with the corn planter or the ordinary bean planter. In growing the small varieties the rows may be as near as twenty-four Inches. The largest varieties call for a distance between the rows of not less than three feet. The plants in the row will bear growinglliiekly, as the habit of growing is iiiicht. The distance between the plants may vary from two to five or six inches, according to the size of the plat.ts. The amount of seed ued p-?r acre Is seldom more than one bushel

j

(S3 m ft im a't Tm IM TOTO per acre and seldom less than half a bushel. If your land is not rich in humus use a fcmall amount of nitrate of soda as a starter for the beans. Apply at the rate of sever.ty-flve pounds per acre after the beans are up. Put it on when the leaves are dry. It is very soluble, and will sink into the soil In a surprisingly short time. Then an application of 1? jkt cent acid phosphate with fiftj pounds of muriate of potash per acre will give ymi a complete fertilizer that should be very satisfactory. Bone men I ould not be so good for a crop such as soy beans, as the plant food element are not readily available. Folnta on Profitable Sheep. A careful observer of agricultural conditions cannot help but be Impressed with many points in the selection of profitable range sheep. It should be recognized that we need as large r. bodied sheep as possible, without coarseness, for such an animal would have large surface for the growth of wool, and would produce a large bodied, thrifty lamb for mutton purposes. The body must be well covered with wool of even density and fineness, tho wool extending over the under parti and dow tho legs to the feet, that they may not chill when lying on the cold ground or snow, but It should not cover the fnce to such an extent as to eaus blindness. The legs must be long enough to enable the sheep to walk from four to six miles a day over the range for food. This sheep must be thrifty and quick maturing, but still capable of standing range conditions rnd remain productive from seven to nine years. This sheep should serve a dual purpose in a measure, and be capable of making a good cross with soma irutton type for production of the best feeder lambs, so that the owner will flrd ready market at the best prices for his surplus increase, and be able it dlspose'of his old ewea and wethers us feeders. Cultivating the Soil. The importance of frequent and thorough cultivation of the soil Is now admitted to achieve the largest crops. This knowledge was known to the ancients, who worked the land with primitive implements. Even the untutored Indian, with his stone hoe, stirred the ground around his plants of corn to stimulate their growth. The initial preparation of the soil for perfect cultivation is performed by the plow, which stirs and turns over the soil to a uniform depth. Modera plows are manufactured for all kinds of oil, from the stiff clay to the light, sandy loams and the fine, smooth, blcck land of the prairie. The angfcj of the moldboard determines tho compactness or disintegration of the field that has been plowed. The fine, black prairie loams need the highly polished steel plows with oblique angled raoldboards to turn the soil. An obtuse angled plow will choke in fine, black loam, but will work admirably in sandy loams. The sharpangled moldboard throws the furrow over with jreat force, making the land friable aiJ easily cultivated. In breaking Ui seeded land the long, obtuse-angled moldboard Is necessary to lay the furrows down 6moothly where they can bo firmed by the roller and tvibsequcntly cultivated with the disk hxrow. Working the soil In turn makes the soil work. Cultivation performs the twofold purpose of liberating plant food and destroying weeds. The earth has been carsed with weeds to comlel man to work for his bread. Tilling the soil makes It loose and friable and permits the roots of plants to more easily appropriate the nourishment 'of the r-oil. Tillage admits the air into the soil and also the rain, which impart fertility to the land. Cultivation unlocks the great chemical laboratory or i ature and releases the nourishment needed by vegetation. Thorough cultivation unlocks the great storehouse or nature and Insures the husbandman1 Uuntit'ui crops. The stalk of corn is like an Infant who needs nouiishntont t- promote development, and tillage releases the elements of the soil needed for the evolution of the matured corn. ''ootUH's Farmer. Proper Slme of Farm. Professor F. B. Lintleld, director of the Montana Experiment Station, has recently discussed entertainingly the size of Irrigated farms, ne says, in part : "What area of land under irrigation il! support a man and his family in comfoit and also provide means for using educational opportunities for his fainilj ? The first part of this question can be answered only by asking r,nother. What is the average yearly Income of the average workingman! While wagos are good in Montana, probably 500 to $G00 per year will be an outside wage obtained by an average laborer in the country towns. From this house rent and all living expenses have to be paid. Now, what will forty acres of Irrigated laud return under careful, thorough and intelligent management? To be equal to the wage proposition It should provide equal or better wages, interest on the investment, and keep or maintenance of farm machinery and horses. Something on Interest and wages will be returned by the home Iteing provided on the farm, and besides much of the fruit, all the vegetables and the wheat for flour may be grown on the farm and obtained without any cash outlay. The same Is true of the poultry and the eggs, and of the milk, cream and butter needed. If alfalfa hay is fed to stock, particularly to dairy cows, the return could be nearly doubled. The wTlter has pastured two milch comb o: one acre of ground and obtained 200 iwunds of butter fat. At -0 cents per pound, this returns $IQ per acre, or $1,(XM) from forty acres. '1 he above crops can be produced for a minimum outlay of labor. A man and a teti in could do practically all the work. In the above Illustration the returns frrm but one crop were considered, but a combination of many of th ( rops mentioned would Ik? the Ideal farm practice. If live stock were handled, tli is would spread the work over the year, and the returns on these va rkty crops will be in proportion to th acreage return of from $seo to l,eO0 per year from the forty acres, in addition to providing a home and many of the living expenses.
