Daughters Should be Carefully Guided In Early Womanhood. Trust BU1ICJU uirijuciiwy caum from a mother's ignorance; or mora frequently from a mother's neglect to Broneriv instruct her daughter I 1 Tradition says "woman mustsuffer," and young women are so taught. There is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in this. If a young woman suffers severely she needs treatment and her mother should see that she gets it. Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examina tion; but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham 's address is) Lynn, Mass. The following letterfrom Miss Maris F. Johnson, Centralia, Pa., shows what neglect will do, and tells how Mrs. Pinkham helped her : "My health became so poor that I had to leave school, fwas tired all the time, and had dreadful pains in my aide and back. J was also troubled with Irregularity of menses. I was very weak, and lost ao much flesh that my friends became alarmed. My mother, who Is a firm believer in your remedies from experience, thought per haps they might benefit me, and wrote you for advice. I followed the advice yon gave, and used Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as you directed, and am now as well as I ever was. I have gained flesh and have good color. I am completely cored of Irregularity."

Wean Inst the Colt. A spring colt ought to bs weaned be fore the pastures have been destroyed by froat - At the same time It should be used to taking a little grain twice a day while It Is still running at pasture. The oat Is, of course, the beet grain for colts, as It Is also for the horse. It does not take much oats or meal to keep a young colt thriftily growing during Its first winter. If oats and earn are ground together, without the cob, and some wheat bran Is added. It will. In most cases, make a better ration fed with cut hay than could be got from feeding oats alone. No corn and cob meal should be fed to young colts, or, In fact, to any young animal. The cob Is extremely hard to digest, and at least for all young stock has not enough nu trition to compensate for the danger from using It. . Novel Self-closing Gate An invention has recently been pat ented by Dr. Peyton B. Green, of Wytheville, Va., In which a simple and ingenious device is provided for closing a gate automatically. Referring to the accompanying en graving, It will be observed that, on the -A 1 lis ..m. I',!... SKLP-CLOStWO OATS. top bar of the gate, a roller Is journaled which Is engaged by an inclined roti fulcrumed at Its lower end on a fixed support set at a proper distance from the hinge-post. A weight is held on the rod and can be fastened in any desired position by means of a set screw. To prevent the rod from leaving the roller when opening and closing the gate, the bracket in which the roller Is Journaled Is provided with a loop. When the gate Is swung open the free end of the rod travels over the friction roller and assumes nearly a vertical position. As soon as the gate Is releas ed, the weight of the rod pressing against the roller closes the gate. By changing the posftlon of the weight, the gate can be closed with more or less force. Bait the Manure Heap. Salt in the manure heaps will provs beneficial. As kalnit contains a large proportion of salt and also a percent age Of crude sulphate of potash, it may be mixed with the manure by turning the heap over, care being taken that ell portions of the manure be sprinkled with the kalnit It prevents loss of ammonia to a certain extent, and adds aan to the manure, while salt at- mm tracts moisture and serves as an aid to prevent "fire-fanglng" of the manure. Whenever manure is turned over the coarse materials should be placed In the center In order that they may b more quickly decomposed. ; Grape Tinea in 1'enoa Corners. A great many fences are of no use as barriers, because they surround lots that are never pastured. It was on one such that years ago we saw a farmer trying to train a grape vine and make a trellis of it. Of course all the work of cultivating the vine which was planted In the corner of an old worm fence had to be done by band with spade and hoe. But the experiment succeeded until the fence rotted under the mass of vines which covered it Then the farmer was obliged to build a trellis for his vine, which he might bet ter have done at first Exchange. Keeping; Milk Too Cold. A representative of a Maine creamery has been testing the skim milk of Its patrons, and taking the temperature of the tank in which the deep cans were placed for cooling and raising the cream. Very much to bis surprise, he found that many of them keep their milk too cool. He found the skim milk most free from butter fat when the temperature was nearest to 45 degrees. At 30 degrees there was from one to two-tenths of 1 per cent, more of butter fat In the skim milk than when It was kept at 45 degrees, or near that point Seed Corn. , Select the seed corn while the stalks are standing in the field. Much can be done by selection. Over 160 bushels of corn were raised on an acre In Nel son County, Va., by a former member of Congress by selection of seed. Borne stalks contained from five ' to seven ears,, and grew to a height of fourteen feet This may appear remarkable, and may not be repeated, but it shows that In order to secure the largest yields the seed corn must be selected every year until the variety is made better. Corn Meal va. Shorts for Feeding Plga Experiments at the Indiana station to determine the comparative value of pure corn meal and a ration consisting of equal parts of corn meal and shorts showed that there was practically no difference in the two foods when used for fattening pork. The corn meal used cost 65 cents per 100 pounds and the shorts 70 cents. To Keep Off Melon Bntra.

All mineral manures need to be used in damp weather or when rains may reasonably be expected In a short time after they are applied. When a long, dry time follows, phosphate especially Is apt to Injure the seed with which it comes In contact, and if there is only very little moisture the phosphate will make the soil dryer. Worse than this, the phosphate Is liable to revert Into in soluble conditions, so that If moisture comes later but little can be made use of by the plants. Turnip Growing; After Froat. The turnip crop Is so hardy that llgnt frosts not only do not kill the leaves, but possibly by destroying weeds that have before interfered with their growth, they seem often to make ths turnips grow faster. The roots some times double In size after an early frost followed by warm, moist weather. There Is also an Improvement In the quality of turnips after freezing weath er, and It is usually a mistake to har vest the crop until the surface soil la the field has once been frozen. Cars of Bee.

Queens In sixteen, and drones in twenty-four days. It is a good plan at this time to re queen every colony that has la any way a defective queen. Arrangements must be made so that the bees can pass from one comb to another without going around in order to secure food in winter. In any colony that during the month of September Is found queenless, a lay ing queen should be introduced, as It Is not safe to depend upon their rearing one from the brood given their " 1 m w THOUGHT HE WAS SHOT DEAD. Rough Elder Telia How It Feels to e Killed. How it feels to be shot dead is the subject of some rather curious obser vations on the part of a trooper of Roosevelt's regiment, which was in tended to be made up of rough riders, but from force of circumstances was transformed into an organization of rough walkers in Cuba, This particu lar trooper has been in the thick of the fighting all the time, and he relates his most peculiar experience in a letter to a friend: . "Tolstoi doesn't know anything about being shot dead," he writes. "In that description he gives he's away off. There's altogether too much of it He never went through it so how should he know? The real thing is very short and simple; anybody could do it This is how I came to know all about It It was the second day at San Juan, and my troop was stretched out at full length on its very much attenuated stomach shooting over the top of the hilL The Spanish were also doing all the shooting that seemed to us neces sary, and my own notion was that any of us who got out whole would be mighty lucky, for the Spanish aim may be bad, but there is a whole lot of peo ple in this vicinity who wish It were a darn sight worse, the undersigned among the number. "The chap on my left was close up to me and firing fast, getting up on one knee each time he let off aud then dropping back for a few seconds. Bul lets were dropping all around and so were men, and I had spotted one Span lard who seemed to be responsible for a lot of It Well, I was Just getting a good bead on him when it happened. There was a sudden shock that didn't seem' to strike any place in particular on my head, but all over It . My teeth ground together and my eyes tried to get out of their sockets and escape, and no wonder, for my head was full of flames. . Then everything went black and I felt myself falling. "'That's the end of me,' I thought to myself before I lapsed into total blankhess, and as I remembered it I didn't care a snap. "After that I rolled down the hill. It might have been any length of time for all I knew when consciousness be gan to return. I wondered what world I was in and reckoned that I ought to have a, pair of wings ,of one kind or another on my shoulders. It was some thing of a surprise to me to find that there were none there, "but my dismal suspicion that maybe I had gone wrong was followed by a surmise that I was still in the land of the living. But I bad felt that bullet go through my head and I couldn't figure what right I had to be alive at all. Besides, It was no fun, for I had a headache that you eouldn't have crowded Into a beer bar rel. As Soon as I found I could move I felt around for the bullet hole, but couldn't find It While I was still searching and getting pretty mad over it (not being able to find an escaped collar button Is nothing to not being able to find a mortal wound in your own head) a couple of fellows came along, picked me up and poured some water over me. ; " 'Look out,' I said, 'ltU get Into my brain,' and I explained about the wound. "They explored and they couldn't find any hole, either, and that made me madder than ever, for a bullet that goes clean through a man without leav ing any opening to show for It is rob bing him of the glory of dying for his country. All the time my head was feeling like the Inside of a mince pie, but I finally crawled back to the firing line and there they told me What hap pened. The chap on my left In rising to fire, had got a Mauser bullet through his heart and In falling had swung his gun with great force over In my direc tion. The butt caught me Just behind the ear, knocking me completely out I've got a lump there now like the end of a squash. ( "But It's a great thing to have had the experience of being shot dead with out compelling your family to go into mourning." New York Sun. Round the Corner. ' An amusing incident of Dr. Lvman Boecher's student days was told In a sketch of the fatnons clergyman, writ ten by John Boss Dlx over forty years ago, , ' One night ho was awakened by a sound at bis window, as if some one were drawing cloth through a broken pane of glass. Springing np, he dimly saw his clothes dlsapearing through the broken window, a thief having taken a fancy to them. Waiting for no ceremonies of toilet, young Beecher dashed out after the burglar, who dropped the clothes at once, and put himself to his best speed. But Lyman was not to be easily outrun, especially when thus stripped to the race. After turning several corners, the caitiff was seized and marched back by the eager student. He ushered him into his room, compelled bim to lie down on the floor by the side of his bed, while he, more comfortably en sconced in the bed, lay the night long watching him, the silence being broken only by an occasional "Lie still, sir!" In the morning the culprit was taken before a magistrate, who was evidently a lineal descendant of Justice Shallow, The magistrate, after bearing the par ticulars, asked Mr. Beecher "whether, In turning the corners, he lost sight of the man at all" He replied that the man was out of sight but a second,. for he was close upon blm. "Ah, well,'! said the magistrate, "If you lost sight of him at all, you can not swear to bis identity!" So the man was, discharged. Mr. Beecher met the fellow several times afterward, but was never able to "catch his eye."''-, , ..;. II Beaatifal Girl's flffliction.
