While these | crops contain a large amount of solid matter in proportion to the yield per acre, their chief valve is in the water, as the water is an /mportant aid to digestion and contains nuiritious mat- ter in solution to a large extent; —~ hence the water is not a useless sub stance which adds weight only, but is as desirable in the form in which it exists in the plant the solid por tions, but while the solid materiale cost the farmer something the water | does not, and that is an important consideration which must not be over looked. The water entering into the composition of plants cannot be sup plied artificially. Every one knows that there is a difference between green apples and apples that have been dried and cooked in water. It is the same with vegetables and roots We can dry them and render them juicy again by cooking in water, but wa cannot regain the condition In which the water existed in the plant before drying or evaporating the sub stances. Water existing In foods is more valuable than that which is sup plied. as FARM BUTTER MAKING Two have greatly r making on the farm, viz.: the hand separator and the of skim milk in growing pigs The hand sep arator has come to be greatly appreci ated on the farm both because of its economy in quickly separating the fresh, and be cream l things increaseq use while the milk is it thu 180 hug providea the sweet skim highest for feed The principles condition i an experie «1 man. farm has been study the of butter making, 1 with batter fa finer quality for it.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “Dear Mus. Prxxuay: — Thera are but few wives and mothers who have not at times endured agonies and such p nly women know. 1 wish such women knew the value of Lydia I. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It is a remarkable medicine, difierent in action irom any I ever knew and thoroughly reliable. «1 have seen cases where women doctored for years without perma- nent benefit. who were cured in less than three months after taking your Vegetable Compound, while others who were chronic and incurable came out cured, happy, and in perfect health after a thorough treatment with this medicine. 1 have never used it myself without gaining great benefit. A few doses restores my strength and appetite, and tones up the entire system. Your medicine has been tried and found true, hence I fully endorse it.” — Mns. R. A. Axpensox, 225 Washington St, Jack- gonrille, Fla. Mrs. Reed, 2425 E. Cumberland St., Philadelphia, Pa., says: “Dear Mns, Pisgnay:—1 feel it'my duty to write and tell you the good I have received from Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Tom~ pound. “1 have been a great sufferer with female trouble, trying different doctors and medicines with no benefit. Two yearsago I went under an operation, and it left me in a very weak condition. I had stomach trouble, backache, headache, palpitation of the heart, and was very nervous; in fact, I ached all over. I find v ‘A Wo yours is the only medicine that reaches ITE" such troubles, and would cheerfully rec- yi LL ommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable i Compound to all suffering women.” When women are troubled with irregular or painful menstruation, weak- ness, leucorrhoen, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, flatulence, general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. The experience and testimony of some of the most noted women of America go to prove, beyond a question, that Lydia E. Pinkham's V table Compound will correct all such trouble at once by remo the cause and restoring the organs to a healthy and normal tion. If in doubt, write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass, as thousands do. Her advice is free and helpful. No other medicine for women in the world has received such wide. spread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any substitute.
