club woman, Mrs. Haule, of Edgerton, Wis., tells how she was cured of irregulari ties and uterine trouble, terrible pains and backache, by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "Dear Mrs. Ptnkttam: A while ago my health began to fail because of female troubles. The doctor did not help me. I remembered that my mother had used Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound on many oc casions for irregularities and uterino troubles, and I felt sure that it could not harm me at any rate to give it a, trial. " I was certainly glad to find that within a week I felt much better, the terrible pains in the back and side were beginning to cease, and at the time of menstruation I did not have nearly as serious a time as heretofore, so I continued its use for two months, and at the end of that time I was like a new woman. I really have never felt better in my life, have not had a Bick headache since, and weigh 20 pounds more than I ever did, so I un hesitatingly recommend your medi» cine."—Miis.

Government Giving Impetus to Indus try by Furnishing Sea Island Seecj to Porto Ricans. The United States government, through its agricultural experiment station at Mayaguez, Porto Rico, has determined to encourage tfhe grow, ing of Sea Island cotton in the new possession. Special Agent Mark D. Gardener If sending out notices that he has re ceived a quantity of Sea island cot ton seed from Edisto island, South Carolina, and that he will supply free not to exceed four pounds each to planters and farmers who wish to ex periment with the seed. The seed was bought and forward ed to Porto Kico by the offiae of in dustrial plants in the United States department of agriculture, Washing, ton, D. C., and it is only requested that every planter or farmer making experiments shall inform the Porto Rico station of the results and send a sample of the product for trans mission to Washington. Mr. Gardener's offer is accompanied by a circular letter from President R. M. Walker, of the Walker Cotton and Industrial company, San Juan, in which Mr. Walker tells in deail how to obtain the best possible results from Sea island cotton planting in Porto Rico. Mr. Walker pleads strongly for a rigid quarantine against the Mexican cotton boll weevil and the destruction of all seed except tho Sea island variety. Warning to Young Wen. "Don't cross your knees," says a medical authority. It compresses the blood vessels, thereby causing vari ous aches and The logical in ference from this, remarks the Chica go Tribune, is that you should not ta. -nybody else on your knee. A Double Motive. Russia's decision not to participate In the St. Louis fair. s.ays the Phila delphia North American, is solely due to the belief that she can make a suf ficient exhibition of herself in the far east. BOTH JAWS SHOT AWAY Still a Successful Business Man. A man who had both jaws shot away had trouble eating ordinary food but found a food-drink that supplies the nutriment needed. He says: "I have been an invalid since the siege of VicKsburg, in 1866, where I was wounded by a Minie ball passing through my head and causing the en tire loss of my jaws. I was a drummer boy and at the lime was leading a skir mish line, carrying a gun. Since that time I have been awarded the medal of honor from the Congress of the United States for gallantry on the field. "The consequences of my wound were dyspepsia in its most aggravated Torm and I finally proved .ary cof fee was very hard on my stomach so I tried Postum and got better. Then I tried common coffee again and got worse. I did this several times and finally as Postum helped me every time I continued to use it, and how often I think that if the Government had issued Postum to us in the Aimy how much better it would have been for the soidier boys than coffee. "Coffee constipates me and Postum does not; coffee makes me spit up my food, Postum does not; coffee keeps me awake nights, Postum does not. There is no doubt coffee is too much of a stimulant for most people and is the cause of nearly all the constipation. "This is my experience and you a.*e at liberty to use my name."

An Implement Which, According to Its Designer, Is More Useful Than the Harrow. Every farmer knows a harrow Is an indispensable farm implement. I have constructed a drag that covers a wide 1- area of usefulness than the harrow. Ex cept when I have sod land, I never use the harrow, then I follow a spring tooth harrow with the drag, which pul verizes and levels the ground and puts it in fine tilth. The drag can be made any desired width. The one I made is to be used with three horses. It con sists of 3 pieces 2 inches by 4 inches by 12 feet; 5 pieces 1 inch by 12 inches bv 4 feet; 2 6-inch bolts, 2 7-inch bolts, if! IP A GOOD BRUSH DHAG. 2 3-inch bolts, 1 whole trace chain. Any kind of straight brush will do. but brush that grows in thickets is best. Select brush two to three inches at butt end and seven to eight feet long. The drag is made as shown in the cut. Take two pieces 2 by 4 by 12, and bore 4 holes to match in each; first, bore a hole about 6 inches from the ends, here use the 6-inch bolts. Bore a hole 2 feet each side of cen ter, here use the 7-inch bolts. Cut notches in the brush about 6 inches from butt ends, wide enough to fit over the 2by 4 piece. It is best to notch some off both sides, the object being to keep brush from pulling out of drag. Place the brush as close as can be crowded conveniently between the 2 by 4 by 12 until full, then put each end of trace chain on 2 inside bolts, chain to be used for hitch. Put on top 2 by 4 by 12 and screw end bolts up tight. Next bore holes in two of the 1 by 12 by 4 pieces, and let ex tend to rear and onto 7-inch bolts, and to piece 2 by 4 by 12, three feet to rear, resting on top of brush with the two 3-inch bolts. Next make eight linchpins 20 inches long and bore four holes front and rear, size 1% inches, bore holes in top 1 by 12 by 4 pieces and putin pins. Then put on seat board, which can be moved forward or back to equalize weight as the driver desires. Points ot excellence: The driver rides, can do twice the amount that can be don» with the harrow with the same team, pulverizes and levels the land better than a harrow, leaving a fine bottom for cutting grass, and for meadow, line for covering grass seeds, etc.—H. M. Means, in Epitomist. TIMELY WORDS OF CAUTION Patent Bug-Killers Rarely Approach in Efficacy the Old-Fashioned Paris Green. When the farmer begins to spray he looks around for insecticides and finds a good many claiming his attention. There is the pure Paris green, and there are the numerous brands of in sect killers that are called "patent," and for which great claims are made. If he does not know what he is doing, the farmer will pay a big price for some of these patent big-killers that are praised a great deal, but are of lit tle value. Paris green is the standard poison, and probably there is nothing cheaper obtainable if it is pure. Ar senate of lead is a good insecticide and carries about one-fourth the amount of arsenic as does Paris green It has the advantage of adhering bet ter to the foliage than does Pariii green. Of the numerous brands of patent insecticides on the market all depend on arsenic for their efficiency except one or two that are compounded with oxide of zinc as the active poisonous principle. One of these compounds that has been investigated by the sta tion costs about one-third as much as Paris green, but it takes from 35 to 50 pounds to do the work of one pound of Paris green. At that rate a man is paying more than ten times for his in secticide what it is really worth, based on Paris green. A good many of the others haver. little arsenic as poison ous principle, anil are composed in the main of plaster and coal dust. They are cheapest when let alone.—Farmers' Review. Apple Pomace for the Cows. Three of the state experiment sta tions, notabfc that of Vermont, have conducted experiments with saving ap ple pomace in the silos and feeding it to cows during the winter. The Ver mont station has experimented with this kind of silage now for several years and always with good success. The pulp is simply hauled from the cider mills ar.d shoveled into the silo either with corn silage or alone. About three inches of the silage on top spoils, but this serves as a covering to pro tect the rest. This silage has been fed to cows in quantities varying from 10 to 50 pounds per day without any injurious effects on either the cows or the quantity or quality of the milk. This kind of silage is always much rel ished by cows and eaten very greedily. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS THURSDAY, JUNE o 1904. GOOD CARE IS IMPORTANT. Poor Cows Frequently Are Improved by Comfortable Quarters and Suitable Rations. Much is being said in all the dairy pa pers on the dual purpose cow and much does depend upon the breed, but does not a very great deal depend upon the care the cow receives and upon the milkman ? asks a "milk maid" in the Epitomist. This is a very pointed query and may be answered very emphatically in the af firmative. Some farmers think that the care expended upon the milk cow is just so much time lost, and that she can be fed on just anything, and if she then gives small quantities of milk, that there is no use wasting good l'eed upon her. This is a very grave mistake, as a poor milk cow is often improved by comfor table quarters and good feed and the best of dairy cows neglected will give very little milk. Good feed and care not only cause an increased flow of milk, but a richer product. I have seen milk from neglected cows that instead of having a thick, rich cream on top, had only a thin whitish covering of cream, and for the dairy was not worth attending to. A milk cow should never be con lemned until given a trial by at least two milkers, as often the trouble is more with the milker than with the cow. One cow that has been millCed regularly for weeks by one milker gave one quart of milk when calf was large enough to wean, when by accident a change of milkers proved her an excellent dairy cow, and that the calf had been given an unnecessary amount of milk night and morning, simply because the milk man did not care to attend to his work. Warm comfortable quarters are very important and if a cow is compelled to wander around in mud knee deep in winter it is more than likely that she will not give enough milk to pay for the milking. It will not pay to keep your own cows and buy your butter half the time. There is more waste here than on most anything else on the farm. A ten dollar calf runs off with 520 worth of cream and milk, while the family do without cream, milk and butter. WASTE IN DAIRY FARMING. No Other Branch of Agricultural In dustry Shows So Much Loss in Labor and Money. The keynote to profitable dairy farm ing is to be found in a close study and mastery of economic effort of labor. We do not believe there is a business on earth where there is as much waste of labor, time and money as is found on the average dairy farm of the country. There is the waste of poor cows, the waste of unscientific feeding, pouring costly food unsulted to the purpose of economic milk production into the cows, and waste of unhealthy food and disease breeding stables, the waste of poor methods of soil culture and its conse quent waste of fertility, the waste of poor care of young animals in the first year of their lives, whereby they are not worth half as much in the market, and finally the great waste of brain and thought, or rather the waste that comes irom a lack of brain and thought. Such a host of men there are who pre fer to be ignorant of what it means to be a good economical farmer, who ire contented as can be in having no hunger or thirst for the knowledge that shall build them up and make first-class men ar,d farmers of them. From one end to the other of it, suc cessful dairy farming calls for a man who has so much pride in the mastery of his business, in his possession of important ideas and methods, as have the best professional men in the coun try. Such a dairy farmer will be ashamed to be found ignorant, or have his sons ignorant, of what science is doing for him. Such men are the ones who show the largest profits and who win, besides, honor and fame among men.—Hoard's Dairyman. CRATE FOR MOVING STOCK. Saves Lots of Time on Farms "Where a Number of Hogs and Calves Are Kept. I find that in moving such stock as hogs, sheep and calves, much time is saved by having a crate on wheels such as is shown in cut. The crate is mount ed on wheels to permit its being used like a wheelbarrow. The animals are WHEELED MOVING CRATE. driven in at door shown, the door closetf and the crate wheeled away. Any olc wheels may be used; such as cultivatoi wheels, or even old buggy wheels. «( these are not to be had, wheels may be readily sawed out of one-half or one-inch boards placed together the cross way of grain to prevent splitting.—Ralston M. Westinghouse, in Farm and Home. Fresh Meat in Africa. A recent traveler in South Africa says that many kinds of meat are eaten there which no one in this country would think of eating, some of which are very palatable, even to a fastidious Anglo-Saxon taste. Among thos-i which he considers especially delicious he mentions the giraffe, the eland, the zebra and the guinea fowl. He also found baked elephant's trunk, baked young elephant's foot and hippopota mus calf bacon excellent eating. Amon-j the African dishes which do not ap peal to an American's taste may be mentioned lions, ostriches, alligator# and snakes. ONE OF THE UTTERMOST. Even Commercial Travelers Were Not Beyond the Beach of Saving Grace. Dan Daly, the actor, who died recently, whenever he was idie in New York had a great habit of attending Salvation Army raeetings. He believed in the Salvation Ariny, and he contributed liberally to its support. Sometimes, too, he had inter esting things to tell about it, says the New York Tribune. One evening, rather late, Daly and a commercial traveler entered the Fifth Ave nue hotel together. Daly, with a nod to ward his companion, said: "My friend and I were at a meeting of the army to-night. The captain, after his address, passed through the audience, questioning the people. Coming to my friend, he said: " 'What is your business, sir?' " 'I am a commercial traveler,' was the answer. " 'And are you saved?' " 'Oh, I'm all right.' "At this reply the captain, turning to the congregation, shouted in a loud voice: "'Halleluiah! A commercial traveler saved. God can save to the uttermost!'" Doubtful Compliment. Poultney Bigelow, who has accepted the chair of foreign relations at Boston university, had completed an address be fore the Twentieth Century club of Chi cago. A young man congratulated Mr. Bigelow rather awkwardly on this address, and the learned traveler replied: "That is a doubtful compliment. It re minds me of a remark that a friend of the groom's made at a New Hampshire wed ding. "This friend, an observant chap, watched the groom closely during the ceremony, and at the end bore down on the happy man, shook him warmly by the hand, and said: " 'l'ill, ye done good. I had an idee ye would be skittish while ye wuz bein' tied up, but, begosh, ye looked as bold as a sheep.' " —Washington Post. A Happy Mother. Maple Hill, la., May 30.—A very remark able case occurred here recently. The people here have never seen anything like it and it may interest many others. From his infancy, Verne, the little five year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Barfoot, of this place, has been sickly. His moth er consulted a doctor, but he did not be gin to improve till some one suggested that she try a remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills. From unmistakable symptoms she had always believed that his Kidneys were the first cause of nil the trouble, so she bought a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills anil began giving little Verne two pills a day. In two or three days she noticed an im provement and she kept on till he had used about two boxes when to her great joy, he was all right. Everybody remarks how much better Verne looks and .Airs. Barfoot always explains: "Dodd's Kidney Pills saved his life." Extremes in Temperature. Yeast—Did vou say your friend was an even tempered man'! Crimsonbeak—l should say not! Why, he gets hot under the collar and cold feet at the same time. —Yonkers Statesman. When a man is well dressed he feels he is entitled to attention.
