AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.
Mrs. W E. Paxton, Youngtown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
" Dear Mbs. Piskham: It Is with
pleasure that 1 add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others tc avail themselves of your val
uable medicine.
" After the birth of my little girl.
three years ago, my health was very
poor. 1 had ieucorrhoea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until 1 could do
to work'. Also had headache nearly
fell the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
itruations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks
" I took medicine from a good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. I was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when I read your advertisement In a
paper. I sent at once for a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle I felt so much better that I
6end for two more, After using three
bottles I felt as strong and well as any
one.
" I think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady I meet suf
fering from this trouble "
Maternity is a wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to ail expectant mothers, and
i her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax?,
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be
; fore confinement she would have been
i tared much suffering - Mrs. Pinkham's
address Is Lynn, Mass.

To Keep Bntter Cool.
Here is a good plan for keeping butter
cool In summer. In the middle of your
cellar floor dig a hole or vault three and
one-half feet deep and three and one
half feet square. Wall it up with brick
laid in lime mortar and cement and
floor It with soft brick. Lay a frame t
of good hard wood in mortar upon the
top of this vault Hinge to the frame
a trap-door of plank two inches thick,
making It fit smoothly over the top.
Then after the cream Is separated and
cooled put It down in the vault to ripen.
Butter may be kept there in the agree
able coolness, also. If you have no
separator, put the cream Into your
vault as soon as you have skimmed it,
there to cool and ripen. Once or twice
a week clear out the vault and wash It
thoroughly to prevent Its getting
moldy. Pour cold water upon the soft
bricks of tho floor. They will absorb
it and cool the air. This is a very suc
cessful way to keep milk, butter and
cream cool In hot weather on farms
where there Is no Ice,---V alley Farmer,

Hereford Cattle.
The animal here shown Is a typical
Hereford, from a picture printed in the
Mark Lane Express. This breed Is an
old-established one, It being mora than
a century Blnce Its founding in Hereford,
England. Early in the present century
it was recognized ts a valuable beef
breed. Records of sales -om 1709 to
1811 show that twenty oxen brought
for beef an average of 100 6s., or about
$330 each. The Herefords and Short
horns were active rivals during those
early days, and the competition be
tween tlym is still very close.
In color, the Hereford is a red of
varying shade, generally light with
clear white face, white line of greater
or less length along the back, white
brisket white brush and white feet
The horns are medium to long, white.

weeds off and chop out all of the old
plants, leaving runners about a foot
apart in the rows, and hoe between the

to have the ground deep, soft and per

runners (which should be those sent
out from the parent plants of last

The oat crop ripens so late that if the
land is infested with Canada thistles
the latter will sometimes blossom and
be ready to ripen their seed before the
oats can be harvested. But there is a
time when the oats will not be headed
out, while the thistles fully grown are
towering several Inches above them. A
man going through the fields with a
scythe can rapidly lop off the towering

Feeding for the Dairy.
It used to be thought that the heifer
calf, because she was Intended to be
come a cow rather than fattened for
beef, could be starved and stinted on
almost any kind of food during Its first
year, and be, perhaps, a better cow
therefor. We do not believe In feeding
calves Intended for cows with food that
has a fattening tendency. Skim milk Is
much better than whole milk for them,
and wheat bran with some middlings
mixed with it Is a better diet to make
growth than Is corn or other grain. But
it does not pay to starve any calf. It
necessarily weakens the digestive or-

Separate the younger from the older

choice, and leave the refuse to be eaten
by the weaker, whereas the best should
be given to the poorest In order to help
them to a condition of thrift and
growth.
