troubled with monorrhagia. My back

frequent headaches. I would often

I consulted two different physicians,
hoping to get relief, but, finding that
their medicine did not seem to cure me.

Automatic Fountain.
An Ohio man gives this description
of his poultry fountain: Every poul
tryman knows how difficult It is to
keep good, clean water for a large
flock of hens shut up In a house or
yard. . If furnished in an open vessel
It is soon lowered out of reach or filled
with dirt and litter by their scratching.
Various small fountains are on the
market which do for little chicks, but
large fowls shut In a warm house
drink a great deal and require lots of
time and attention. The accompanying
cut shows an automatic fountain which
I devised for use in my poultry house.
It is made of a lOgallon keg. A pint
tin cup is connected by a small tube
to the lower end, from which the
chickens drink. To nil the keg the
tube is corked, then the cork is taken

out of the top. When it Is filled make
the bung tight and open the tube be-
Jow. The water will not run out of
the cup if the tube be an inch or more
below the top. One cup will water a
good-sized flock. Two or more cups
may be used if necessary. The foun
tain should be set on a box about eight
inches high, ju6t so the hens can reach
it and not throw dirt into the cup by
scratching. ith this arrangement
they have plenty of clean -water and
require our attention but once a day.
Handy Harrow.
The harrow herewith illustrated is
8 feet long by 4 feet wide, with eight
teeth In each beam. The teeth should
be of -inch steel and put through
not more than two inches. This makes
a fine comb harrow which cuts all the
top and does not pull up trash. Each
beam is attached to the pulling bar
with a hook and drop link. Through
the middle is an inch rod put through
thimbles, one being slipped over each
beam as shown at a. This makes the
harrow flexible. By withdrawing the

Fowls in confinement need a variety

Put a good flock of hens in the plum
orchard and the trees will be less sub

crops of fruit.
In no case can we make good, ma
ture fowls of poorly-fed and badly
managed chickens. It is economy first
and last to feed well.
So far as can be done, green food
should form a part of the daily ra
tions through the year, as it seems
necessary to insure health, productive
ness and fertility.

Renewing? Strawberry Beds.
Without doubt the digging of new
plants and setting them regularly in
the place they are to grow is the best
way of obtaining tue new strawberry
bed. True, this requires considerable
labor and the selection of the best run
ners from the old bed. If this plan is
to be followed the best plants will be
obtained by going over the old bed
as the runners are forming and keep
ing the tips cut off to ene or more
plants, so as to obtain strong plants
for re-setting. Another advantage of
this plan is that just the number of
plants that may be set in a given pe
riod are dug, so that none are left to
dry out as with plants bought.
The other plan of making the new
bearing plantation is a good one, and
quite generally followed, especially
where the berries are grown on the
matter row plan. The mower is run
over the field after the crop Is gathered
and, after raking off the cut plants, a
light plow is run through the field and
about one-half or more of the plants
cut out, leaving the new ones, which
will be about a foot apart, composed
of the new plants. Care Is required
in this work, but the results will be
profitable, provided the new plants
formed are Strang.
Care of the Horse.
During the busy mon'ilia of the year,
farmers are anxious to get all the
work possible out of their Urses,
which is proper enough. Food alone
will not do the trick. A horse may be
fed the best of rations, but he needs
care in addition, so try these things
which may seem simple, but which
will do a great deal toward making
the horse contented and more valuable
to you. Keep his coat clean, not only
by brushing and the use of the comb,
but use water on him freely, especial
ly during the warm period.
When his work for the day Is done
take a sponge and wash each part of
his coat where the harness touched.
If his muscles are sore, take equal
parts of iodine and sweet oil, mix them
and rub the mixture well into the
Joints and tendons. Wash out his
mouth occasionally and take enre of
his feet. Above all, in warm weather,
see that his stable is well ventilated
and that screens are placed so that
vermin are kept from annoying him.
In watering the horse, let him have it
before eating, and also a small supply
between meals, even If he is warm. It
will not hurt him unless you give him
too much.
Felecting Seed Corn.
The true selection of a better breed
of corn is not confined to the selection
of the best ears by any means, al
though this Is the popular idea of corn
improvement As every corn raiser
knows, certain seed will raise corn
that is almost ideal, so far as the ear
goes, but there are but few ears on a
plant.
This being the case, it is evident
that the true selection of corn is the
selection of the plants which show the
desired characteristics all through their
growth up to the time of harvest, so
that the plants should . be closely
watched from the time they break
ground and thus securing the habit of
growth as well as the perfection of ear
so desirable.
Many of the plants will make a
stronger growth thnn others and ripen
the full crop earlier; if such a plant
is what is desired, it can only be found
by watching its growth through the
season. Then if the yield is all that
Is desired one conies pretty near hav
ing the ideal plant nnd one which is,
probably, capable of even greater im
provement Grit for Toiinn Chicks.
While oyster shells seem to be de
sirable as grit for fowls, it has been
found that growing chicks do better
on coarse sand, or, better still, on a
mixture of coarse sand and ground
Florida rock phosphate, which is ob
tainable of any dealer in poultry sup
plies. Equal parts of each are used
and the mixture placed in boxes,
where the chicks can get it at will.
Bone meal in limited quantities is also
excellent for growing chicks, and ir
they have this in connection with the
grit, made as suggested, together with
plenty of fresh wnter during the day
and a chance to pick greeu food for
themselves, the grain-food needed will
be much less and the chicks will
thrive Just as well.
Live Scarecrow.
A well known Vermont farmer is re
ported to have successfully kept off the
crows from a corn field by locating
several roosters in boxes at various
distances through the lot The crows
appear to object to the frequent crow
ing of the roosters and keep away from
the lot.
In serving sardines many people
drain and wipe the fish and after plac
ing on the serving platter pour A tea
spoonful of pure olive oil over each.
This is supposed to render them more
delicate in flavor.

. Eczema drives its victim almost to the verge
of distraction by its intolerable itching, stinging
and burning. It seems to set the skin on fire,
and the tormented sufferer rubs and scratches
till the flesh is raw and the skin is torn and
bleeds. Nothing applied externally does much
good, for the disease is internal; the blood is
aflame with acid poisons, that are forcing their
way through the glands and pores of the skin, causing it to redden
and swell and break out in splotches, pustules and pimples, from
which a clear, yellow, watery matter exudes, hardens and dries, and
then peels off in scales or fine particles like bran. Eczema kindles a
fire that water will not quench, and that lotions, salves, powders and
soap cannot smother. As warm weather comes on and the system is
reacting and the blood making extra efforts to throw off the accumu.
