SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Bank to Mrs. Pinkham.
The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham, from Mrs. M. Rank, No. 2..1S4
East Susquehanna Ave., Philadelphia,
Pa., ia a remarkable statement of re
lief from utter discouragement, She
says:
" I never can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound has dona
forme.
" Some years ago I had womb trouble
and doctored for a long time, not see
ing any improvement. At times I
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, I felt something
terrible creeping over me, I knew not
what, but kept getting worse. I can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. I was so depressed in spirits
I that I did not wish to live, although I
had everything to live for. Had hys
teria, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
" Indeed, I thought I would lose my
mind. No one knows what I endured.
" 1 continued this way until the lost
of February, when I saw in a paper a
testimonial of a lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta
ble Compound. I determined to try it,
and felt better after the first dose. I
continued taking it, and to-day am a
well woman, and can say from my
heart, 'Thank Ood for such a medi
cine.'" Mrs. Pinkham Invites all suffering
women to write to her at Lynn, Mass.,

The Dob Under the Wagon.
"Come, wife, said good old Farmer Gray,
mt on your things, 'tis market day, :
And well be off to the nearest town.
There and bock ere the sun goes down.
"Spot? No, we'll leave old Spot bemno."
But Spot he barked and Spot he whined,
And soon made up his doggish mind
To follow under the wagon, ;
Away they went at a good round pace,
And Joy came Into the farmer's face,
"Poor Spot," said he, "did want to come,
But I'm awful glad he's left at home
He'll guard the barn, and guard the cot,.
And keep the cattle out of the lot,"
"I'm. not so sure of that," thought Spot,
The dog under the wagon.
The farmer all his produce sold
And got his pay in yellow gold;
Home through the lonely forest. Harkl
A robber springs from behind a tree;
"Your money or else your life," says he.
The moon was up, but he didn't see
The dog nnder the wagon. .
Spot ne'er barked and Spot ne'er whined;
But quickly caught the thief behind;
He dragged him down In the mire and
dirt.
And tore his coat and tore his shirt,
Then held him fast on the miry ground; ,
The robber uttered not a sound
While his hands and feet the farmer
bound,
And tumbled him into the wagon.
So Spot he saved the farmer's life,
The farmer's money, the farmer's wife,
And now a hero grand and gay,
A Bllver collar he wears to-day.
Among his friends, among his foes
And everywhere his master goes
He follows on his horny toes,
The dog under the wagon.
The Advance, ' .
The Avrfihlre Caw.
This old breeed from the County of
Ayr, Scotland, needs some one to blqw
its horn; the breeders don't seem
Inclined to do it even when given a
special Invitation. The breed sr-ems
specially adapted to the northern part
of out country, as this more nearly re
sembles Its native home. Daniel Web
ster is said to have kept Ayrshire, on
his farm at Marshfleld, Mass., and he
recommended thean specially for New
England. Professor Sheldon divided
the breed into two classes, one repre
senting the butter and the other the
cheese type. At the Vermont Experi
ment Station, in 18D3, Rena Myrtle
8530, a farrow cow, made the largest
milk and butter record ever obtained
at the station from a cow of any breed
In one -ear-12,l"5 pounds of milk,
producing 648 pounds of bnttes. The
average production of cheese In Scot
land is from 500 to 600 pounds per
cow, ,
The secretary of the Ayrshire Breed
ers' Association, a M. Winslow, sums
tip the qualities of the Ayrshire, by
saying that she is noted for vigor,
hardihood .and for producing a maxi
mum quantity of good milk from a
minimum quantity of food. The aver
age weight of- the cow Is about 1,000
pounds. The Ayrshire bull Is highly
recommended to cross on Jersey cows.
In the language of the breeders, the
Ayrshire nicks well with the Jersey.
The cut represents the Ayrshire cow,
Rose Clenna, the property of C. M.
Wlnalow & Son., She has a record of
7,768 pounds of milk and 454 pounds of
butter In 365 consecutive days. She
took first premium at the Vermont
State Fair last year for the largest
amount of butter fat from one day's
milking. There were thirteen cows In
competition.
To Kilt Tree Borer.
When borers have made their way
Into trees, some hot water at a tempera
ture of 140 to 160 degrees, or as hot as
can well be borne by the hand. Injected
Into the holes they have made will de
stroy them. Such a temperature will
not Injure the tree. With a syringe
and flexible rubber tube with a small
nozzle enough water should be forced
np to make sure that the borer Is killed.
All Insects can be killed by applying
water to them at a temperature not
high enough to be injurious to vegeta
tion. Bcete for Ensilage.
One or the other, if not both, should
be produced on every farm where stock
of any kind and be It only one cow
ls kept Beets come handy even for
fattening stock. Says Prof. Curtlss, of
the Iowa station: "From our experience
here in the use of beets In finishing cat
tle of high quality for the block, I have
no hesitancy In saying that the intro
duction of roots and the beet product
into our fattening rations will result In
a vastly better product All of the cat
BOSK CLBJfJJA.
tle that have been marketed by the
Iowa station and killed with such good ,
results nave been finished on a ration',
consisting in part of roots. The use of .
root crops enables the feeder to make
a better and more desirable carcass or
beef than can be -made on dry feed
alone. The animals fed roots are mel
lower to the touch, evener in their
flesh, and in better bloom than It Is
possible to obtain on dry feed, and the
gains are larger and more economically
produced." We also find beets a fine
auxiliary food for pigs, and can winter
them very cheaply on this diet ,
For Watering Fowls.
A well-made watering fountain for
poultry Is the best arrangement for
watering fowls, but these are more or
less expensive. Some substitutes are
shown herewith. A gallon "canned ap
ple" can may be attached to the wall,
as shown, or a lard pall may be hung
upon a nail within reach of the floor.
Better still Is the third device, which
permits water to be poured into the
pail each day from the outside, and
is up where the litter will not be
DEVICES FOB WATERING FOWLS,
scratched Into it. Make the platform
on which the pail rests broad enough
so that a fowl can fly up and stand up
on the edge while drinking. Where
fowls and chicks run at large there can
be no better drinking fountain to be
placed out of doors than the familiar
device of filling a tin pail, can or other
vessel, according to the size desired,
and inverting it over a flat dish a lit
tie larger In diameter. This supplies
clean water as fast as it Is used, and
cannot be soiled.
The Aaparagn Beetle,
The asparagus beetle has nearly de
stroyed the asparagus Industry In some
localities , Many remedies have been
suggested, among them applying lime
freely over the bed late in the fall,
after the tops and bed have been burnt
over, with another liberal application
of lime In the spring. Some growers
claim that where the rows were hilled
up two feet and the young shoots cut
off as soon as the tips appeared above
ground, no damage was done. Cutting
the shoots was also continued until
quite late. Where shoots were allowed
to grow until 2 or 3 inches high before
cutting, the beetles attacked them. It
may be stated, also, that If all shoots
are cut when Just appearing the aspar
agus stalks will be found tender from
the tip to the butt, and of much better
quality than when the tops are "green,1
and If the rows are hilled the cutting
of the shoots is done with more ease
than .when the level culture method is
practiced. The suggestions given are
worthy of consideration by those who
have had the beetle to contend with
this season.
Killing Canadian ThUtlea.
To kin Canadian thistles, let them
come to bud, or flower; put heavy
chain from right end of doubletree to
plow beam, at where the coulter is, or
should be; leave slack enough to loop
in furrow, Just ahead of the turning
furrow slice; have a good plow that will
turn the furrow, and with a steady
team you will cover thistles completely,
and as they will have used all theft vi
tality In maturing flowers for seed, will"
benefit the land as green manure

people prefer 'cot
ton wool because
it can be thrown
away after a time
and renewed at a
nominal cost. If a
sponge is chosen
It ought to be tak
en out often, clean
ed in hot salt wat

rinsed In cold. The
sponge or cotton
wool Is placed for
the distance of an
Inch In the lamp
shade. This Is then covered by a layer
of fine white sand, which has been
washed very clean and placed In a fine
lawn bag. This must be packed
through the top of the glass and spread
out to fit across by the old of a long
pencil or a skewer. On top of the sand
must be placed a layer of animal char
coal whlca has been thoroughly wash
ed by putting It in an earthen vessel
and pouring boiling water upon It This
layer should be at least an inch deep,
and sihould be well pressed down upon
the layer of sand. The filter Is now
ready for use. Water is poured Into
the lamp shade and allowed to perco
late slowly through to the decanter be
neath. After a time the charcoal will
get clogged, and a little must be taken
from the top and boiled for a few min
utes and then spread out before the
fire. It will then be as good as ever,
and can thus be cleansed indefinitely.
From time to time also the whole ap
paratus will want cleansing, and the
whole of the charcoal, as well as the
bag of saad and the cotton wool or
sponge, will have to be taken out and
thoroughly boiled, or, better still, re
placed with new material.

known to the California Fig. Svbup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.

assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Sirup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get Its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
