But this profit Is valuable according to the manner In which tlie fertilizing elements are preserved while in the heap. It is in the management of the manure that the profit is retained and future crops increased. CAN’T HELP TELLING. No village so small. No city so large. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, names known for all that is truthful, all that is reliable, are attached to the most thankful letters. They come to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., and tell the one story of physical salvation gained through the aid of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. The horrors born of displacement or ulceration of the womb : Backache, beariug-down, dizziness, fear of coming calamity, distrust of best friends. All, all—sorrows and sufferings of the past. The famed “Vegetable Com pound” bearing the illustrious name Pinkham, has brought them out of the ▼alley of suffering to that of happiness and usefulness. In one advertisement alone we re cently published thirty testimonials from women in one small town who had regained health through its use.

In cutting eilsilage or fodder, a lit tle work transferred from hand to horse power often goes a great way to lessen expense. In the illustration, which is taken from Earm and Home, a simple method is shown of unloading fodder or hay. Two ropes about 50 feet long, depending on the length of the rack and height of load to be drawn, are used, one end of each being fastened to the htnd axle of the wagon. They are then passed back and over the top of the rack between the two outer boards on either side. While loading, the ropes may be brought back under the outside of the rack and fastened almost any place on the rear part. When file load is completed, the ropes are drawn over the fodder and tied to the back of the rack, acting in the capacity of a binding pole. To un- • • • Portland, Oregon ... A. P.

Prunlnsr Is Important. The uvgiect of pruning for a single year is never less than a serious injury to any fruit tree. Without proper vigi lance dozens of shoots will spring out and grow, to the injury of tlie tree, not only for that season, but for a consid erable time after. "Thumbnail” prun ing Is always the best, because It leaves no wound that will not cover itself the same season.
