Women suffering from any form of fe
male weakness are invited to freely com

has been established the eternal conudence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of
America which has never been broken and
has induced more than 100,000 sufferers to
write her for advice during the last four
months. Out of the vast volume of exper
ience which she has to draw from, it is
more than possible that she has gained the
very knowledge that will help vour case.
She asks nothing in return except your
good-will, and her advice has relieved
thousands. Kurely, anv woman, rich or

Rondside Watering Place.
Along country highways are many
opportunities to tap a runniug stream
or a hillside spring, and so ; lace the
water at the command of passing
teams. Frequent watering places along
hot and dusty roads not only show the
humanity of the Inhabitants, but If
made attractive they show as well a
progressive, up-to-date spirit that Is
quite sure to Impress travelers favora
bly. A little effort will make these
wayside watering places very attract

that can be followed to advantage

A Fall Chicken Coon.
In the fall the small coops scattered
about get too small for the growing
chicks. It Is not convenient to put
them Into the permanent quarters with
the older fowls, nor is it wise to allow
them to shift for themselves out of
doors, roosting on fences and In apple
trees. A simple plan to meet the fall
requirements of chickens Is shown In
the accompanying cut, from the Orange
Judd Farmer. Four stakes are driven
Into the ground, and a bit of roof frame
nailed to the top. Over this is stretched
and tacked the cheapest kind of cotton
cloth, a door and ventilating openings
being arranged as shown in the sketch.
Perches can be nailed from corner post
to corner post, diagonally, and the
growing chicks kept there till the
weather becomes cool enough to make
winter quarters necessary. The cloth

can then be taken off and saved for an
other season.
Binding Corn Stalks.
Whoever lias tried to bind green corn
stalks knows the provoking frequency
with which the green bands will snap
at their Joint. We have found a bundle
of rye straw taken to the corn field the
cheapest and most easily procured ma
terial with which to do the binding.
But where It can be procured a bundle
of osier willow stems, six to eight feet
long, will answer the purpose better.
The willow will not break. It can be
grown In some out of the way place, too
wet to grow anything else, and, besides
Its use for binding corn stalks, It may
be used for many other purposes on
any farm. Exchange.
Painting Roofs.
The roof wears out, uuless kept paint
ed, faster than will any other part of
a wooden building. It pays better to
keep the roof painted than It does the
sides, and It will also need to be paint
ed oftener. Wnen shingles are used
from clear, straight-grained wood and
kept always painted, they will last a
very long time. One of the advantages
of painting roofs Is to keep water from
the nails, whose rusting soon rota the
wood where they are driven.
Warmth.
Sudden changes In the temperature
materially affect the flow of milk. Ev-
ery farmer has noticed how much the
now or miiu nas diminished when the
weather suddenly turns cold at night
Therefore, we should see to It that the
I cows are protected from sudden
changes In the weather.
Dehorning,
An exchange gives the following for
dehorning calves: Go to a drug store,
get a stick of caustic potash. Pat It
la a bottle nd cork tight till needed.
III ;
M 1) tvillSl jf n
Wln calf Is ten days old, wrap a rag
around the stick of potash (to protect
your hands), secure the calf, clip hair
over horn buttons, and apply potash on
the horn only. Rub until hair and hide
are off, no more. Avoid any water.
Keep calf dry. One cent and fifteen
minutes time, with good judgment,
make a muley of any calf.
Mixed Feed for Stock.
Every successful feeder of fattening
stock understands that to get the best
results a variety of food must be given.
But If animals are to be kept in merely
store condition, It Is supposed that tills
is less important. Really, however,
there Is as great waste from illy bal
anced rations when the feed Is all of
one kind In one case as In the other.
The stomach cannot use the nutrition
which the food contains, unless all the
kinds of nutrition that the system
craves are present. It is ouly the food
enten with appetite that does good.
There Is nothing like having sufficient
variety to stimulate appetite.
Wrinkles Tell.
"The popular Idea that the age of a
horse can always be told by looking at
his teeth," said a veterinary surgeou,
"Is not entirely correct.. After the
eighth year the horse has no more new
teeth, so that the tooth method Is use
less for telling the age of a horse which
is more than eight years old. As soon
as the set of teeth Is complete, however,
a wrinkle begins to appear on the up
per edge of the lower eyelid, and a new
wrinkle Is added each year, so that to
get at the age of a horse more than
eight years old you must figure the
teeth plus the wrinkles."
Qunlity of Harness.
There is no poorer economy than In
buying a poor harness because it is
cheap. Well tanned leather with due
care will resist dampness, and will keep
sound a long time. Harness should
never be kept in the stable. There Is
too much ammonia In stables, which
will quickly cause a harness to rot.
When used In warm weather the har
ness should be cleaned often, and kept
soft and flexible with oil.
Homemade Jelly Press.
The Rural New-Yorker gives direc
tions for making a good jelly press. A
cooking steamer with large holes In the
bottom Is fitted with a circular board
cover and placed under pressure, as
Bhown. The steamer rests on a board
that Is perforated and that is raised
above another board that Is grooved to
catch the juice and conduct It Into a
pan below. The bottom of the steamer
cannot thus be pressed out of shape.

Orchard and Garden.
Sawdust Is good mulch for all kinds
of small fruit.
If done early, spring Is the best time
to set out trees and plants.
Strawberries, If well mulched, are
less affected by change of weather.
After the orchard Is In bearing It does
not pay to continue to crop It.
All pruning and transplanting should
be done before the leaves start out well.

GONE GLIMMERING.
One ripe summer, fresh and fair, hits
gone glimmering. What with rain and
breeze and fair sun, the harvest has left ua
grain enough to feed the world, and hard
times are broken by a kindly Hand. Hut
autumn changes come, and we cannot be !
too sen-content not to guard against, what
autumn brings. It is the changeful tem
pemture of midday warmth and night and
morning chill, from the dampness of dews
or vapors cast adrift on eastern winds.
With the breath of such comes back to
very many old time physical troubles of
pains and aches, rheumatism, neuralgia,
Boreness and stiffness. This is a crop not
spoken of in a farmer's almanac, but it
must be cared for, else it will lav waste and
grow misery. St. Jacobs Oil is a reaper
and binder; it reaps the field of pain and
binds up and cures. There is no bodily
pain it won't relieve, and to the whole
group of rheumatic puins, it is a certain
and specific cure. Let not the bounties
that nave been reaped he marred by misery
and pain. St. Jacobs Oil is the helper t'o
