Iu the middle of your cellar floor dig a hole or vault three and | one-half feet deep and three aiul oue- . half feet square. Wall it up with brick laid in lime mortar and cement and floor it with soft brick. Lay a frame of good hard wood in mortar upon the top of this vault. Hinge to the frame | a trap-door of plank two inches thick. ! making it fit smoothly over the top. Then after the cream is separated and cooled put It down In the vault to ripen. Butter may be kept there 111 the agree able coolness, also. If you have no I separator, put the cream Into your vault as soon as you have skimmed it. tliere to cool and ripen. Once or twice a week clear out tbe vault and wash it thoroughly to prevent its getting moldy. Pour cold water ujsm the soft bricks of tile floor. They will absorb It and cool the air.

P tnkham :—It Is with pleasure that I add my testimony to your list, hoping that it may induce others to avail themselves of your val uable medicine. ” After the birth of my little girl, three years ago. my health was very poor I had leucorrhcea badly, and a terrible bearing-down pain which gradually grew worse, until 1 could do to work Also had headache nearly all the time, and dizzy feelings Men struations were very profuse, appeas ing every two weeks ’• I took medicine from a good doctor, but it seemed to do no good. I was becoming alarmed over my condition, when I read your advertisement in a paper. I sent at once for a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound. and after taking two-thirds of the bottle I felt so much better that I send for two more. After using three bottles I felt as strong and well as any one. ■’I think it is the best medicine for female weakness ever advertised, and recommend it to every lady I meet suf fering from this trouble ” Maternity is a wonderful experience and many women approach it wholly unprepared. Childbirth under right conditions need not terrify women. The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely offered to all expectant mothers, and her advice is beyond question the most valuable to be obtained.

To many persons tbe fruit of the raspberry in the fall Is a luxury, com ing as it does when no other fruit of this nature is to be had. There are but two sorts that have proved of any val ue of about a half-dozen kinds tried— tbe Catawissa and tbe Belle de Fon- tenay. To have these f ¡ill-bearing sorts produce well they must be cut down in the spring, so that vigorous young canes will grow, as from these the crop of fruit is to come. Tbe stronger the canes, tbe better the crop of fruit, hence the importance of applying plen ty of manure to the ground, and of keeping up a cultivation of the soil while the plants are growing. It is not impossible to have fruit on ordinary raspberries when treated as these are, though there is something In the na ture of the two kinds mentioned which seems to fit them especially for fall bearing—Fruit. CONSUMPTION CANBE CURED First cut down the woods with a lawn mower or a scythe. Rake tbe weeds off and chop out all of the old plants, leaving runners about a foot apart in the rows, and hoe between the plants, as well as cultivate well be tween the rows. The object should be to have the ground deep, soft and per fectly clean of grass and weeds. The runners (which should be those sent out from the parent Hants of last spring* will send out runners, and form a new matted row.

If any oue wants to know what difll cutties the early settlers in wooded sec tions had to encounter, let him make a clearing iu some wood lot and then try to grow a crop among the stumps. He will break more plow points and har rows working this land than the crop will be worth when grown. *Btit the early settlers had at least one advant age, and that was that their newly cleared land was free from weeds. In all the older settleu parts of the coun try there are many bad weeds among the trees in the woods, the seeds of which have been carried there by birds or other animals. Hereford Cattle. The animal here shown is a typical Hereford, from a picture printed in the Mark Lane Express. This breed is au ' old-established one. it being mor-.; than a century since its founding in Hereford. England. Early in the present century it was recognized as a valuable beef breed. Records of sales *-om 171*1* to 1811 show that twenty oxen brought for beef an average of £100 6s.. or about $530 each. The Hereford» and Short horns were active rivals during those early days, and the competition be tween them is still very close. In color, the Hereford Is a red of varying shade, generally light, with clear white face, white line of greater or less length along the back, white brisket, white brush and white feet The horns are medium to long, white, waxy and generally turning outward, forward, and sometimes downward.
