To all women who are ill: It affords me great pleasure to tell you of the benefit I have derived from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I can hardly find words to express my gratitude for the boon given to suffering women in that excellent remedy. Before tak ing the Compound I was thin, sallow, and nervous. I was trou bled with leucor- rhoea, and tny men strual pe riods were very irregular. I tried three physicians and gradually grew worse. About * year ago I was advised by a friend to try Mrs. Pinkham’s Sanative Wash and Vegetable Compound, which I did. After using three bottles of the Vege table Compound and one package of Sanative Wash, I am now enjoying bet ter health than I ever did, and attri bute the same to Mrs. Pir.kham’s won derful remedies.

In Gibson County, Indiana, they have already “caught on," and the enteiqirlslng farmers of that section have many lint's connecting town and farms. Iu another fanning locality we know of there is a central exchange which connects fourteen lines running into the country and to other towns. A doz en 'phones or more are connected with each line. One farmer in that county can talk to five hundred farmers in that and adjoining counties. These ex changes are all on the mutual principle. Tlie central station is conducted by a young lady, who receives $1 a year from farmers who have 'phones, and collects from persons who have no in struments but want to use them. A cheaper system of constructing switch boards has been discovered. The switchboard for tlie use of the commu nity above mentioned accommodates fifteen lines and costs less than $20, be ing made by local mechanics.—Up to Date. Ice House in the Barn. The idea that a costly ice-house Is requisite for the profitable storage of fee is not borne out by those who have improvised storage at comparatively trilling expense, says the Journal of Agriculture. A corner in the barn can be adapted by any farmer at all handy with tools, at a cost exceedingly small when compared with the advantages which a liberal supply of ice during the heated season will confer. Tlie accompanying illustration gives an idea for an ice-house in a barn, and a few hints on points necessary to be iinm fiii/h mitin ifiimiimiH. •uiiiiit J/jHH ih'l (finnHill inni» ttii/i m ✓/ //✓//« niiii* n ////- limi mu ìi utiiim ih mu unii mi filli.» t mill •»•»«»’ ih ■fJHlh.rtltl-oliHi«« «lillH»' mini ihiiiii . «*••», f.i-iiloiMHlM «<>••»»« • «tuliHili». Feed vs. Pasture. observed iu its construction, etc., will be useful A supply of eighteen tons af ice can lie stored in a space of twelve feet square and ten feet high. In build ing an ice-house, the chief points to lie considered are the exclusion of air from under or around the body of ice; proper ventilation over the ice, and proper sur face draining around the ice-house. Any little crack that admits of the in flow of warm air will play havoc with a body of ice. Hence waterproof paper should interline the wxils, so as to ex clude every possible chance for the ad mission of a current of air. If there be too much sawdust placed around ice it is liable to ferment and develop heat to such an extent as to melt the ice. Four inches of sawdust or chaff is sufficient to place under the ice. and eight inches is sufficient on tlie sides of a house with a single wall, and four Inches In case of a twin wall. A twin wall is made by boxing tlie studding on lx>th plates and sills, so that they shall alter nate with each other. Two by six may be used, ami they, may be placed two feet apart; twelve-inch boards will an swer for plates and sills. 'This permits each studding to project two Inches past tlie center of tlie wall and pre vents the air current from setting. The studding must be papered with water proof paper and then ceiled. The amount of green fo<xl that can be grown uixtn an acre of land and fed to cattle from the first appearance of rye or crimson clover In early spring until late in the fall is many times more than that which can be obtained on the same area used as pasture. While on tlie pasture the cattle are subjected to storms, many insects, and during dry seasons they must perform consider able work to secure as much Bxxl as they desire. As green crops may be cut at any time and several cuttings can be made In a season, the flow of milk will be greater than when the cows are on pasture. While less labor is required in pasturing the cows, a smaller projHtrtion of land can be used under the soiling or green-food system. Crate for Moving Animals.
