FARM DRIVEWAYS EASILY MADE.
Have Good Roadbed from the Road to
the House.
While we are busily talking about
good roads, we must not forget the
most needful one is that which runs
from the gate to the barns, and over
which we travel many a mile during
the year. At the time I moved to Ma
pleside farm eight years ago, writes a
Michigan farmer to Orange Judd Farm
er, the mud was hub deep for the
horses, and no better for the men on
the footpaths. We moved here April
11, and the women folks did not get
to the barns until after the middle of
May. As soon as the crops were in,
those roads received my individual at
tention, until in a serviceable condi
tion.
1 did not draw in more dirt to soak
up, but began at the bottom by plow
ing out and removing over a foot of
the soil. then opened a gravel bank
and drew in enough to fill that taken
out. Next I made arrangements for
some cinders, and put tliem over the
gravel about a foot thick. This an
swered very well that season, but in
the fall before the mud began to deep
en, I covered the road again, and dur
ing the winter all the coal ashes were
spread wherever there seemed to be a
low spot. By tcUowing this scheme
for four years I succeeded in making a
road that never has any mud. If 1
find a low spot, where water stands
after a rain, it is taken care of at oncc.
On the soutli side of the house, three
years ago, 1 built a road that has not
required any repairing as yet beyond
drawing three loads of gravel last
spring. For this road I pursued a lit
tle different method. It was old sod,
so I plowed through it and turned the
sod upside down three deep on either
side of the road, then drew out all the
dirt beneath that was loose and easy
to handle.
This left me a trench about IS
inches or two feet to fill, which I did
from my gravel bank, and no cinders
were put on this road, as I could not
get tliem. This roadway is about nine
Inches above the lawn on either side,
and never gets muddy. About the
house are cemen' platforms and walks,
while the roadway on either side is so
hard it can be swept at any time. I
fi.'«d it pays when you are at it to make
a good road, and takes no longer. 1
find a gravel bank about the best bank
I can patronize, when it comes to road
making.

AWFUL GRAVEL ATTACKB
Cured by Doan's Kidney Pills After
Years of Suffering.
F. A. Rippy, Depot Ave., Gallatin,
Tenn., says: "Fifteen years ago kid
tney disease attacked
me. The pain in my
back was so agoniz
ing I finally liad to
give up work. Then
came terrible attacks
of gravel with acute
pain and passages of
blood. In all I
passed 25 stones,
some as large as a
bean. Nine years of this ran me down
to a state of continual weakness, and
I thought I never would be better un
til I began using Doan's Kidney Pills.
The improvement was rapid, and
since using four boxes I am cured and
have never had any return of the
trouble."

Eczema Made Hands and Feet Swell,

Quickly Cured by Cuticura.
"I suffered from eczema on my
hands, arms and feet for about twelve
years, my hands and feet would swell,
sweat and itch, then would become
callous and get very dry, then peel
off and get raw. I tried most every
kind of salve and ointment without
success. I tried several doctors, but
at last gave up thinking there was a
cure for eczema. A friend of mine
insisted on my trying the Cuticura
Remedies, but I did not give them a
trial until I got so bad that I had to
do something. I secured a set and by
the time they were used I could see a
vast improvement and my hands and
feet were healed up in no time. I have
had no trouble since. Charles T.

The Auctioneer's Hourglass.
An auctioneer of Philadelphia col
lects all sorts of objects pertaining
to his ancient calling. He has, among
other things, an interesting set of auc
tioneer's hourglasses.
The auctioneer, a century or so ago,
concluded a sale, not by saying "Go
ing—going—gone!" and rapping the
counter with his hammer, but it was
his better method to turn up a free
running glass toward the end of the
bidding, and to end the sale irrevoca-1
bly when the sands ran out. This
saved confusion and dispute.
The auctioneer's glasses in the
Philadelphia collection are pictur- j
esque. One is of tortoise shell and
mother of pearl. Another is of amber
and gold. A third is of teak and
ivory.
Comparisons Necessary.
"We find repeatedly how imperfeqtly
figures convey to the ordinary mind
the magnitude of objects," says the
Welt Spiegel, "and how much more
readily they are comprehended by i
comparison." To substantiate the as- i
sertion a picture is produced of the
cathedral at Cologne, which is 160
meters in height, and next to it Is
placed a picture of the Zeppelin air
ship, standing on end, reaching away j
beyond the middle of the highest sec- j
tion of the steeple, and to within 26 '
meters of the apex. The picture also
shows the Triumphal column at Ber- j
lin, 61 meters in height, and next to it j
the airship Parsifal, 50 meters high, |
as it stands on end.
DIDN'T KNOW
Coffee Was the Cause.
Many daily habits, particularly of
eating and drinking, are formed by fol- j
lowing our elders.
In this way ill health is often fas- 1
tened upon children. A Ga. lady says: i
"I had been allowed to drink coffee j
ever since 1 could remember, but even j
as a child I had a weak stomach, I
which frequently refused to retain |
food.
"The taste of coffee was in my j
mouth all the time and was, as I found ;
out later, the cause of the stomach re
belling against food.
"I now see that it was only from fol- i
lowing the example of my elders that I
I formed and continued the miserable ]
habit of drinking coffee. My digestion
remained poor, nerves unstrung, fre- j
quent headache, and yet I did not sus- !
pect the true cause.
"Another trouble was a bad, muddy j
complexion for which 1 spent time and !
money for creams, massaging, etc.,
without any results.
"After I was married I was asked to j
try Postum, and would you believe it, |
I, an old coffee toper, took to Postum |
from the very first. We made it right j
—according to directions on the pkg., j
and it had a most delicate flavor, and I '
at once quit coffee, with the happiest !
results.
"I now have a perfectly clear, smooth j
skin, fine digestion and haven't had a |
headache In over two years."
"There's a Reason."

EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE IN
FARM LANDS.
"80UTHERN ALBERTA IS A
MIGHTY GOOD COUNTRY."
No stronger or better evidence can
be given of the merits of a country
than that which comes from the testi
mony of the settler who has deter
mined to succeed. This is why we
reproduce the following letter, which
speaks for itself. These people were in
duced togo to Western Canada
through the solicitation of a Canadian
Government agent, who secured for
them the low railway rates.
"Carmangay, Alta., Canada, 12-15-' 08.
"Mr. C. J. Broughton, Canadian Gov
ernment Agency, 135 Adams Street,
Chicago: We had audacity enough to
tackle the proposition of buying four
sections of land in Southern Alberta,
thirty miles east of Clairsholra and
heading up on the Little Bow, and our
two boys each got a homestead ad
joining. We fenced three sections and
the two homesteads, and built a house,
barn, corrals and granary, .and have
since enlarged some of these build
ings. We have broken 200 acres of
land, which has been sowed to oats
and wheat. During the severe winter
of two years ago the winter wheat
killed out somewhat, and our crop
yielded only ten bushels to the acre,
but the spring wheat went 24 bushels
to the acre. In this country we must
be prepared for storms and cold, at
times 20 to 30 below zero, yet on the
whole the winters are mild; and while
there are exceptional crops, it is fair
to say that the average farmer can
depend on having a yield in average
years of from 20 to 25 bushels to the
acre for spring wheat; and winter
wheat in our immediate neighborhood
yields from 25 to 30 bushels to the
acre on the average.
We have now quite a bunch of
horses, over 50 in all, about 350 sheep,
after having sold 140 for mutton this
fall. We have 20 head of pure bred
registered Shropshire, which are
worth ?20 each. The average price
received for mutton sheep was $5.00
and a little over. Pork brings 5 and
6 cents a pound. We have about 30
head of cattle on our ranch now,
and last winter they picked their en
tire living from our pasture, running
to the straw stacks for shelter at night.
"The increase of land values has
beep extraordinary. Our land four
years ago cost us a little less than
$6.00 an acre. We have sold one sec
tion for J15.00, but we would not sell
any more for less than $25.00 per acre,
as we expect the railroad within four
miles of our ranch within the next 18
months. Southern Alberta of West
ern Canada is a mighty good country
for any man or woman who loves outdoor
life, and who wants to get good re
turns for their labor and investment.
"We have been pleased with our
treatment from the Canadian Govern
ment, and can heartily commend South
ern Alberta as a splendid country in
which to locate.
"Yours very truly,
(Signed)

"Do you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound? "
If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be
surprised at the result. I here is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this fanious old remedy, made
exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs.
During the past 30 years we have published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's experi
ence with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write
and ask her.
Houston, Texas.—'" When I first began taking 1 E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I had heen
sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,
and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines, but
nothing did me any good.
"For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would
never get well, when I read an ndvertisment of Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it.
"My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did
me so much good I continued Its use. lam now a well woman
and enjoy the best of health.
"I advise all women suffering from such troubles to give
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. They won't
regret it, for It will surely cure you." Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks,
810 Cleveland St., Houston.
Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely
not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it
not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.
