She is illogical, unhappy and frequently hysterical. The condition of the mind known as the blues," nearly always, with wo men, results from diseased organs of feneration. It is a source of wonder that In this age of advanced medical science, any person should still believe that mere force of will and determination will overcome depressed spirits and nerv ousness in women. These troubles are indications of disease. Every woman who doesn't under stand her condition should write to Lynn, Mass., to Mrs. Pinkham for her advice, Her advice is thorough, com mon sense, and is the counsel of learned woman of great experience, Bead the story of Mrs. F. S. Bennett, Westphalia, Kansas, as told In the fol lowing letter: Deab Mbs. Pinkham: I have suf fered for over two years with falling, enlargement and ulceration of the womb, and this spring, being in such a weakened condition, caused me to flow for nearly six months. Some time ago, urged by friends, I wrote to yon for advice. After using the treatment which yon advised for a short time, that terrible flow stopped. "I am now gaining strength and flesh, and have better health than I have had for the past ten years. wish to say to all distressed, suffer ing women, do not suffer longer, when there is one so kind and willing to id you."

Tasiea Good. in 1.1" ll-l i The Cheviot Sheep. . This excellent sheep has been too much neglected by breeders on this Bide of the ocean. While It Is thought to be a mountain breed Its life is spent only In part on verdant pastures of the Cheviot hills, for It Is bred mostly for crossing by the Lelcesters m middle and southern English pastures for the London markets. The cross-bred pro duce are excellent feeders and very popular among the butchers, the mut ton being of the first quality and hav ing the flesh marWed with fat. rather than covered with It, and Is thus tender and Juicy. This sheep; while not the largest. Is a heavy animal, making 150 CHEVIOT BAM. pounds at two years old when well fed on good pasture with a moderate allow ance of grain. The fleece Is rather coarse, but long and glossy, and Is In demand for the best kinds of clothing. Montreal Star. American Apple in Europe. The United States Consul at Chem nitz. Germany, advises Americans to ship their apples this year to Germany, If good fruit Is chosen, such as will stand a long voyage the Baldwin ap' pie, for Inetapce he Is confident that the business will prove to be a paying one. Complaint boa been made In Ger many against American fruit because of the fear of the introduction of the San Jose scale, which te one of the most destructive diseases known to fruit Investigation has shown that the fear of the Germans has been exagger ated. It Is not denied that the San Jose scale Is found In some parts of the United States, but diseased fruit Is not shipped abroad. Such a course would soon result In. destroying the ex port business. German experts are now in the United States studying our fruit. So far as known they have not advised exclusion. Americans have much to learn about packing fruit but they are gaining a strong hold lh the foreign markets. For the five years preceding 1806 the annual average of shipments of fruit from this country to Germany amounted to over $4,000,000. Balti more American. A Double Barn. The accompanying illustration shows a plan for a barn with double drive ways In which the distinguishing fea ture Is the great amount of loft room. Four gables added to the main roof space give almost another story s ca pacity to the barn, making It possible to use nearly the whole of the lower floor for stock. With a silo and the root cellar that will be found In the I basement It will be possible to carry a large stock on the fodder that can be stored beneath the roofs. There are many conveniences about a double barn, and when one Is to be built the BARN WITH mo LOFT. form here given will prove an excellent one to I011OW. .icw jiiiuriaiiu uoiub- stead. Fall-Rollins Winter Grain. While the roller Is a good Implement for fining and smoothing the surface soil, it can very rarely be used effect ively after winter grain Is sown. Al most all farmers agree that if soil Is heavy, It will produce better crops of winter grain If the soil is left rough after it is seeded. All the lumps are dissolved by winter freezing, and they furnish the fine,' rich dost that is need ed to fall upon the roots as they have been lifted up by frost The only con ditions when rolling la helpful to winter grain are when the soil Is light and liable to blow away In winter. In such case the rolling should be done as soon as the grain Is sown. It will pack the light soil around the roots, and thus cause the wheat to mane enough growth so as to partially protect Itself from winter killing, and will lessen the effects of winds In blowing away sur face soIL , Onion aa Food." Despite tbelr disagreeable effects as breath perfumers, the common onion is much the most healthful vegetable grown, and all would be healthier if onions cooked In some way were a part of the dally diet Drinking milk after iiiii the onion will to a great extent absorb the odor. Those farmers who grow and use many onions keep their health bet ter than do those who are too daluty to eat this vegetable. In southern Europe raw onions are eaten as part of the dally meal laying a slice of onion on the bread and then biting through both together. The Spaniards have a very mild onion that Is quite commonly eaten thus. Choice Bacon. The secret of producing choice bacon, says the American Swineherd, lies In the feed trough. If any one doubts this, let him put two Poland-China, Berkshire, Chester-White, Duroc, Jer sey or any of our recognized breeds of hogs in two different pens, feed one oil the corn he can eat unttl fat, and the other boiled potatoes, milk, barley or wheat ground fine and some pea meal until fat (the old country way). Kill both, put In dry salt for six or seven weeks, then take out and wash, and hang It up In the kitchen or drying house until thoroughly dried; then cut off a good, big chunk and boll it, let It stand till cold; then cut off a few slices, and you will see the corn-fed meat is not so firm, la more oily, and not so many streaks of lean as meat fed on barley, potatoes, milk, etc., and this Is all the difference you or any one else can detect. , Cats Around Barna. The habit which many people have of petting cats and keeping them close by the kitchen fire very soon destroys the hunting Instinct and makes the cat good for nothing as a mouser. On the farm especially, the proper place for a cat Is at the barn, where It can make Itself useful killing the mice or rats that destroy the grain. It'ls a mistake to suppose that a cat will suffer from cold while thus employed. Exercise will keep the blood circulating, and the cat will be quite as warm If kept dry as it would be dozing by the fire, and breathing the vitiated air that Is al ways found near the floors of dwell Ings.' The cat will usually, If there la a chair or a bed In the room, make that her resting place. ' ' Green Tomato Balable. The tomato differs from most other vegetables In the fact that while early In the season only well-ripened fruit will sell, yet later, when frost has cut the vines, there Is always a sharp de mand for green tomatoes for pickling. i. It Is, therefore, no loss to have some late-rlpenlng vines, which ' will not be ready for the early market "There are, beeidee, on all vines that have borne an early crop some toma toes that are green and can be sold for pickles. What money the farmer gets for these la so much clear gain, as In most cases the vines have more than paid for all the labor given them by profits from previous sales. Hackney Filly Ooldflaah.

Private Market for Butter, A farmer who has all the facilities and who knows how to make the best butter ought always to sell It to private customers, who will also take his fresh eggs and other farm products at prices somewhat higher than he can got In the open market But If he does this he mu3t obligate himself to supply what Is needed throughout the year, and thst It shall never be below the standard. It Is this last condition that prevents farmers from making such bargains. To make the best butter In winter re quires care in feeding, and also In han dling milk and cream, which too many are unwilling to undertake. Curing; a Kicking- Horae. A kicker Is a failure on the farm, If not cured of the habit They not only injure themselves, but other animals, and sometime their owner. They may be cured by a swinging Iron bar or pipe across the stall door. Drive a staple about five or six feet from floor on each side of stall; tie rope in each and swing bar at ends about a foot from floor, or high enough to strike horse about bocks. He can kick this to bis heart's content and not hurt himself, as It will swing out of the way. In a week's time he will not notice anything touch ing hie heels. The Demand for Quinces. There Is a poor apple crop this year In most places, and as a result there Is very little demand for quinces, whose use as a fruit seems more to give flavor to the apple sauce than to be eaten by Itself. The quince Is a very rich fruit and Is also bard, even when thoroughly cooked. It U therefore difficult of di gestion. But a few plecee of quince cut thin and placed in apple pie will give It a delicious flavor, such as no apple sauce could have without it Variety of Feed for fltcck. In feeding stock of any kind it Is im portant that It be furnished a variety of food. This Is not merely a matter of flavor, for different kinds of food fur nish usually different nutrition. A great deal of the success of animals pastured lie In the fact that they are able to select their own rations, and the care they will take to do this indicates that this is a matter of greater import ance than It is usually considered. BABY'S EDISON'S CRADLE. Edtaon'a Aaaiatanta Presented Him with Thla Automatic Tender. When Thomas A. Edison's second daughter was born his technical assist ants In the laboratory at Orange pre sented him with plans for a cradle In tended to save Mrs. Edison much of the worry and trouble usually experienced by mothers. Several other Ideas were submitted to the commruj, but th thought of the wizard ambling up and down the room In the dead of night, oc casionally stepping on a semi-submerged tack, was too much for them, so the cradle was decided on. It was called the "automatic electric baby tender." It was an ordinary cradle with Ingeni ous devices for the child's comfort at tached.. Immediately above the spot where the baby's head would He was a diaphragm, somewhat like a telephone receiver. If the Infant should start cry ing at the very first wall communica tion was established between the dia phragm and an electric clock. At the same time the cradle was set rocking by means of a small motor. If the re monstrance continued beyond a certain time the clock released a lever and an arm attached to the side of the cradle (operated by what Is called a bell crank lever), carrying a nursing bottle, was swung over the baby's mouth. If hun ger was not the trouble and the walls continued another arm on the opposite side swung over the child's mouth with paregoric. At the same time the elec tric current was turned Into a set of BABY EDISON'S ELECTRIC CRADLtt. magnets placed around the cradle, and any pin which might be causing the trouble would be .at once removed. If the yells continued Ihe "thirty-third de gree" was applied. Two arms, lying flat In the cradle under the baby, were slowly raised and the child turned over. Then an electric spanker fastened to the footboard proceeded to do Ita work with neatness and dispatch. However, Mr. Edison persists 1n re garding the baby's cradle as a joke. TOLD BY FINGER NAILS. Temperment and Health Shown by the Nails' Coloring; and Form. The temperament of a person and the condition of health are shown by the coloring and form ot the finger nails. Long, oval nails show a reasonable and gentle disposition; one who would yield in a controversy sooner than arouse en mity, even when his or her contention Is right The nails when very short and broad Indicate an obstinate nature. Lit tle white flecks on the nails Indicate a nervous temperament When the white moons at the base of the nails are large and the nails are of a bright pink color, they Indicate vigorous health. On the contrary, nails of a pale bluish color, with little or no moons, show an unhealthy condition of nervee and want of recreation. Nails when 1 OVAL. SQUARE. BO MOON. CTJBVKD. FLTJTKD.
