Jinttik E Green, Denmark, Iowa, writes to Mrs, PinkhanK "I had been sick at my monthly periods for seven years, and tried almost everything I ever heard of, but without any benefit Was troubled with backache, headache, pains in the Ehjulders and dizziness. . Through my mother I was Induced to try Lydia E. P'nkham's Vegetable Compound, and U has done mo so much good, I am low sound and well." Mrs. Harry IIabdt, Riverside, Iowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham the story of her struggle with serious ovarian trou ble, and the benefit she received from the use of Lydia E. Plnkham's Vege table Compound. This is her letter: " How thankful I am that I took your medicine. ' I was troubled for two years with inflammation of , the womb and ovaries, womb was also very low. I was in constant misery. I had heart trouble, was short of breath and could not w&lk five blocks to save my life. Suffered very much with my back, had headache all the time, was nervous, menstruations were irregular and painful, had a bad discharge and was troubled with bloating. I was a perfect wreck. Had doctored and taken local treatments, but still was no better. I was advised by one of my neighbors to write to you. I have now finished the second bottle of Mrs. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, and am better in every way. I am able to do all my own work and can walk nearly a mile without fatigue; something I had not been able to do for over two years. Your medicine has dona me more good than all the doctors." Consider Well Before Acting. "Because an acquaintance of yours bas a set of plate teeth that are giving good satisfaction is not always a guar antee that you can meet with the same results when your teeth are all extract ed, for there are a great per oent of mouths that will not tolerate a plate of any kind, and the only way you can de termine this fact is by a trial," says Dr. Thomas H. White, at the north east oorner ot Morrison and Fourth streets. "When yonr natural teeth have been all taken out the plate is the only reoourse, and if you are unfortu nate enough to have a mouth that will not retain a plate, misery the rest of your life will be the ultimate result. Therefore it is of vital importance to kenp your natural teeth hs long as pos sible. It is not always necessary to have your teeth extracted because they are decayed even to the gum margin, or because they pain you and you can not use them in suoh condition, for 95 per cent of such teeth can be restored to a good, healthy and serviceable con dition. The progress of dental soience has made it easy for an up-to-date den tist to reproduce the lost parts of those organs, making them thoroughly reh able in every sense. "When there are but few teeth or old roots remaining in the mouth do not have them extraoted because some , dentist that is not In possession of the late methods of orown and bridge work idvises extraction and plate. Try to 2nd some one wearing bridge work, and reason for yourself. You will not re ret your investigation, and will, I feel lure, always remember this suggestion 3 f..lHi-.i ttn.xt 111 HXf (illS.

A ' glance at the udder, as represented here, would Indicate an un usually heavy milker, but her actul record outstrips even this Indication, For the thirty-one days beginning M.iy 25 and ending June 24 she gave a total of 2,0054 pounds of milk. In making this record she was milked three times dally at Intervals of eight hours. Every milking was witnessed by at least two persons; sometimes by as many as six. This beats all previous records In the Jersey breed. Adelaide's average per day during the test ' was 04 85-121 pounds, her best dally record 75 pounds, followed by records of 73 and 70 pounds. As she weighs 1.002 JBKSRY COW ADELAIDE. pounds, her milk yield during the thin ty-one days is seen to be more than twice her weight But her best one day record was made In May, 1897, when she once gave 62 pounds of milk. Montreal Star. Tree Growth-Fruit Production. It will be necessary to use very nice Judgment In applying the principles which govern tree growth and fruit production; but In these days of abund ant horticultural literature and excel lent books on orchard economy no one ought to be at a loss to know what to do for the best under his own condi tions. No two cases are exactly alike; advice for your neighbor would be wholly Inapplicable tinder your condi tions. Every man must work out his own salvation In temporal as well as In spiritual things, and the plum will go to the man who applies a liberal dressing of brains to his land. North west Horticulturist r - Seeding; Timothy with Buckwheat. On low land, where buck wheat Is the crop chiefly grown, it Is often desirable to seed the land again. Sowing timothy seed among the .buckwheat while It is growing will do this as well If not bet ter, than any other plan, especially if there are rains. The young grass will be well rooted by the time the buck wheat Is ready to be got off the ground. No plowing is needed, and though there Is always some waste of buckwheat In harvesting, no harm will be done, ns the timothy will so occupy the ground by spring that there will be little and perhaps no, buckwheat In next year's hay crop. Ventilation of Barns. Many barns and other farm buildings are made very uncomfortable In sum mer Dy tne neat tnai comes in mrougn the windows; The cut shows a good plan for keeping out the sun. Cover the glass with whitewash or flour-paste, to make the glass opaque; then set the windows out at an angle, with board side pieces, as suggested In the cut These side pieces keep out much sun right that would otherwise get In at the sides of the windows. If windows FOR SUMMER VENTILATION. are hinged, they can be raised or low ered with the pin in the side boles, as suggested. American Agriculturist To Keep Bntter Cool. In the middle of your cellar floor dig a hole or vault three and one-half feet deep and throe 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 of good hardwood in mortar upon the top of this vault Hinge to the frame a trap door of plank two Inches thick, mak ing It fit smoothly over the top. Then after the cream Is separated and cooled put it down in the vault to ripen. But ter may be kept there In the agreeable coolness also. Farmers' Review. Beet Feed for Lambs. Sugar beets are worth at the factor ies about M per ton. It has been found that the pulp Is superior food for lambs, the beets being then worth $0 per ton. I la Canada the farmers find that It pays Go grow sugar beets for use on the farms without regard to their value at the factory. In Texas sugar beets are now used for producing what are term ed "sugar lambs," the lambs being fed on beets and finished on corn, butenwis preferring them to all others and pay ing extra prices therefor. Art of Butter-Making. Butter Is an article that sells strictly on its merits. A dairyman who gets his own price for butter states that churn ing is not the most important work in butter-making, as the beginning Is In the, management of the cow and the handling of the milk. Whether the market is fully supplied or not there Is always a demand for "choice.'" Al though "good" and "medium" grades may be quoted, yet there Is no half way house In the quality of butter. It is either "choice" or "bad," and the In ferior kind is that which sells low. Some dairymen get 50 cents a pound for their butter the whole year, the ruling market price not affecting tt, as It sells strictly on quality. Buckwheat in Orchards. Perhaps as good a crop as any to grow in the orchard is buckwheat Its seed is so cheap, and the mulch Its growth makes is so effective, that It more than offsets the poverty of buck wheat In fertillzirg material. Where buckwheat Isown in orchards the land will be made extremely light and moist especially if the last crop of buckwheat in the season Is plowed under. The only drawback to this Is that growing buck wheat leaves the soil bare, and in a se vere winter frost may penetrate deep ly enough to injure the roots of fruit trees. The peach tree Is especially apt to be injured by winter freezing of the soil near the tree. Kaffir Corn. What is known as Kaffir corn is be coming quite popular among Western farmers. It Is a kind of sorghum in which the Juices are not sweet, and are changed to seeds at the top of the stalk, much as broom corn seed and sorghum seed are grown. The grain of Kaffir corn Is about twice as large as that of sorghum. When ground it is preferred by many, for griddle cakes, to buck wheat flour. The stalks of Kaffir corn lack the sweetness of corn stalks, and It Is very unlikely that this plant will supersede ordinary corn except where it Is found that it will stand dry weath er better than other corn will. Look After Yonr Wells. The dry season Is the time to look af ter the wells. If they are low and there Is danger of their going dry, clean out and deepen until convinced that an adequate supply has been pro vided for. See that the pump plat form Is perfeqtly tight and no seepage gets through it If the upper eight or ten feet of wall are of brick or stone, lay In cement so that contaminated surface water cannot reach the house hold supply. Much sickness can be traced to impure water. No Blacksmith Needed. A horseshoe which the veriest neo phyte with horses cun replace upon the hoof that casts it has been invented. This horseshoe, which Is nailless, has been invented by a Glasgow man Mr. M. McDougalL 'It is of the usual shape, but has two projections, one on each side at the back, which engage rings at the ends of a band, which passes THE MEW NAILLESS HORSESHOE. over the front of the hoof and Is fas tened in the middle by a screw attach ment to the center of the shoe. Crop Averages. i Nearly all averages of crops . are small. This fact plainly shows that farmers are not deriving as much from the land as tbey should. There is something lacking In the management of the farms when crops are low in average. Font Dairy Hints. If the butter is too soft feed the cow some potatoes. Wash all milk vessels with cold water before scalding. Crosses are usually better for farmer, than pure breds. Stringy milk can be cured by keep ing the cows clean. Whitewashed stables mean fewer flies and more milk. A cow that tests below 3 per cent Is not worth keeping. Whenever possible test the cow's milk before buying her. If the butter is mottled work it a little more after salting. Cows and horses should not be al lowed in the same pasture. Richer feed does not mean richer milk; It means more milk. Many dairymen like an ounee of salt to the pound of butter. Do not wet your bands when milking; if you do you flavor the milk. When butter is poor don't blame the cow. Blame your own want of skill. Adding hot water to cream while churning Is the worst of all practices. Heating milk to 100 degrees Pasteur izes it Stir it continually while hot You waste 25 per cent of your butter in summer by not using a separator. A little kerosene will keep away the born flics from cows. Use It very spar ingly. Warm inllk from the cow does not absorb odors. While cooling keep it In a pure atmosphere PORTLAND LETTER. A Pleasant Place to Live In Good Water, Good Street and Handsome Homer The Coining Exposition. Portland, Sept. 19. To the Editor.) When Joe Meek and Lishe Apple- gate and Christopher Columbus pre dicted that the Northwest was going to develop into a rich and productive region and that cities and towns were going to spring up all over it, they earned medals for veracity that were never awarded to them. But the peo ple who came after them are enjoiyng the fruits of their predictions, and will throw flowers on the graves of those prophets. , For the Northwest has developed and is developing, and Portland is one of the prettiest places on the coast. It was wise forethought on the part of her pioneer people to plant shade trees along the sides of the streets, for now they add beauty to the landscape, and in no oity of the world do they show to better advantage. Portland's streets are well shaded by day and well light ed by night, for the wonderful, electric current is everywhere and ever ready to aid humanity.' I Portland's business streets are well paved and full of life, and her business houses contain everything needed for the nee of man. ' Her homes are neat and tasteful and in man; cases elegant, and stand in spots where not many years ago flouirshed the fir forest. Portalud people are enterprising, and invite the people of the whole Northwest to come and visit them this fall, and to entertain thoir guests they have arranged to hold the Oregon In dustrial Exposition from September 22 to October 22. Portland people have subscribed $12,000 in hard cash to pay the expense of this exposition, and it will be one of the grandest events that ever occurred in the Northwest. . It will contain everything to make it' attractive, interesting and instruc tive. There will be the band concerts every afternoon and eveuing by Ben nett's full military band of 83 pieces, and it will be the finest music ever heard in the Northwest. The wonder ful Hegelmans have been engaged, and they will amaze the audience with their great aerial aorobatio feats. All eorts of new and attractive amusements will be given in connection with the exposition, and there will be a repre sentation of Southern plantation life, and free cooking lectures, and a baby show and children's carnival and a lady's department, and a school ex hibit and a manual training scohol in operation every day. Everything will be on a magnificent scnle throughout, and every person who visits the exposi; tion will find something new and novel, to interest, instruct oi amuse them. One of the special features will be the wedding in public, which is open free to all couples, and the newly-mairied ones are generous'y remembered with weddina, presents. . .. Ypur Correspondent was at the Expo sition building today and saw the ar rangements being made for the great fair, and noted that there was going to be a big display of all the fruits, grains, grasses, vegetables and commer cial timber produced in the Northwest, and good, solid . gold medals costing $20 each are going to be awarded for the best exhibits. , Hie exposition building Is an im mense structure-) 200x400 feet, suitably divided off. The grand musio hall is 100x200 feet and three stories high, with an arched glass roof. The build ing oos t $150,000, and it is convenient ly looted being within easy walking distance ot the hotels and business part of the oity, or reached from any part on a five-cent fare on street-cars that pass its doors. All the railroad and steamboat lines are going to make special low rates to the exposition from all parts of the Northwest, and the admission fee is only going to be 85 cents, children 10 cents. People who attend will remem ber it as one of the pleasant events of their lives. R. THE GROWTH OF SOCIALISM. It 1 argued by deep thinkers that the growth of socialism la due to the large standing armies of the world, in which men are often made to enlist against their will, and Uu become dis contented with existing condition!.
