Pink ham, of Lynn, M&sg., who al>ovo all other human beings mny be truthfully called tho 4 'Dear Friend of Woman," as some of her correspondents love to call her. She is sealously devoted to her work, which is the outcome of n life study, and Is obliged to keep six lady assistants, to help her answer tho large correspondence which daily pours in upon her, each bearing its special burden f suffering, or Joy at release from it. Her Vegetable Compound is a medicine for good and not evil purpose*. I have iorsonaUy investigated it and ain satisfied of the truth of this. On account of its proven merits, it Is recommended and proscribed by the best physicians In the country. One Bays "It works like a charm and saves much pain. It will cure entirely the worst form of falling of the uterus, Leucorrhcaa, irregular and painful Menstruation,all Ovarian Troubles, Inflammation and Ulceration. Flooding*, all Displacements and the con sequent spinal weakness, and 1* especially adapted to the Change of Life." It permeates every portion of the system, and gives new life and vigor. It removes faintnes*, flatulency, destroys all craving for stimulants, and relieves weak ness of the stomach. It cures Bloating, Headaches, Nervous Prostration, General Debility, Sleeplessness, Depression and Indigestion. That feeling of bearing down,reusing pain, weight and backache, I* always permanently cured by Its use. It will at all times, and under all circumstance*, act In harmony with the law that governs the female tystem. It costs only fl. per Imtt'e or six for $5.. and is sold by druggists. Any advice required as to special cases, and the names of many who have been restored to perfect health by the use of tho Vegetable Compound, can be obtained by addressing Mrs. P., with stamp for reply, nt her homo io Lynn, Mess. For Kidney Complaint of rithrr sex this compound Is un/ur;>&B*rd as abundant testimonials show. 44 Mrs. Pinkham's Liver Ihlls," says one writer, 4i are the best in the world for the cure of Constipation, Biliousness and Torpidity of the liver.

Tilt TIHT r TBI NATIONAL WILFARI 18 Till INTILLI (UNCI AND PROBPKRITT OF THE FARM Kit. Every farmer in his annual experience discovers something of value. Write it and send it to the " Agricultural Editor of the DEMOCRAT, Beliefonte, J'enn'a," that other farmers may have the benefit of it. Let communications be timely, and be sure that they are brief and wtil pointed. THERE appears to be some evidence that land which has recently been dressed with lime or potash is ex empt from the ravages of the white grubs. It will be a matter of con gratulation if this shall be confirmed. COL. Y. E. PIOLETTF,, one of Penn sylvania's most excellent farmers, and a prominent member of the Pa trons of Husbandry, celebrated his seventy-first birthday, on the 24th ult., by a dinner party at his very pleasant heme in Wysox, Bradford county. EVERY farmer should have good, clean seed wheat, entirely free from rye and cockle, and of whatever va riety he sows it should be pure. But few have this of themselves, and of those who have not many arc willing to buy, at a fair advance over the market price, of those who have, but do not know where to look for them. Those who have taken pains to grow such seed, and have a surplus over and above their own needs, should advertise in the DEMOCRAT. WE shall be glad to receive, for publication, short, practical, printed articles upon any subject concerning the farm or farm work, from any or all of our readers. Every wide awake farmer, in the course of a year's experience, learns something worth knowing in farm practice or management, and he fails to show himself a good neighbor in the best sense of the term, unless he gives his brother tarmers the benefit of his knowledge. Remember the injunc tion is: "To do good and communi cate, forget not." FARMERS who are in the habit of sowing from one and one-half to two bushels of wheat per acre, should carefully read and think ovex Prof. Blount's article, entitled "A Bushel from Every Pound," which we re print, from the Rural New Yorker * "Wheat Special." An average pro duction of thirty bushels per acre would be quite satisfactory to the wheat grower of the country, and Pi of. 8., who has earned his profes sor's chair in the agricultural college of wheat-producing C'olorada, insists that this can better be secured by the use of one-liall' bushel of seed per acre, than any greater quantity. To this the DEMOCRJVT gives hearty as sent, provided, always, that the pre supposed conditions of perfect seed, and proper preparation of the ground have been complied with. It would be but "sixty-fold," and, aside from modern agricultural experience, we have in Mark 4, 10, most excellent authority for considering this but a medium yield from seed "sown on good ground." Two notable instances of success ful farming are mentioned in the cur rant issue of the Farm Journal. One is that of E. M. Donison, of Albany county, New York, who upon a forty five acre farm, made last year a net profit of $2,163,00, The other is that of Geo. L. Mitchell, a New Jer sey truck farmer, whose profits last year, from "a farm of less than sixty acres, a portion being timber," amounted to $1,128,27. In eacb of these cases, the labor was mainly performed by the owner and two sons, so that the amount mentioned as profits represents the wages received for their labor, and the interest on the farm investment. In the case of Mr. Denison, allowing the father $25 and the sons each S2O per month for wages, it leaves a net profit of nearly s3l per acre, or something more than 10 per cent, upon a valuation of S3OO per acre. Mr. Mitchell, on his some what larger farm, received about 10 per cent, upon a valuation of $285 per acre. Surely either of these may be cited as an. instance of successful farming and, an illustration of the benefits of "a little farm well tilled." j POTATOES are plenty this year. Importance of Thorough Prepara tion. In the Ohio Crop and Stock Re port for May, 1881, Secretary Cham berlain published a "wheat map" o 1 the State, showing by counties the conditions of the crop for 1880 and 1881. Most of the lessons which Mr. Chamberlain deduces from this map are, of course, of service mainly to Ohio farmers, but the following paragraph, which we quote from it, applies to "all crops" everywhere, and is especially worthy of study just now, by every farmer who grows wheat: "Another lesson drawn from the wheat map and from the uniform testimony of our own township cor respondents is, that we must have early, thorough uid proper previous tillage to insure good crops. Wheat that got a good stand last fall is in a splendid condition now. That which was sowed late, or on late-plowed land, will be a light crop, and with two weekß' severe weather in March or early April, would have been a downright failure. The drouth last fall prevented proper germination in many fields. But wherever the ground was plowed by the first of August, or earlier, and properly worked and "fined" and compacted, and then sowed before the 10th of September, on reasonably good ground, with good seed, the germination was per fect, a fine stand was obtained, and the wheat was safe. And such is usually the case. Asa rule, we have less to fear from reasonably early sowing than from late—less lrom fly than from winter-billing. And al ways, and on all sells and in all sea sons, we have melt to fear from a late-plowed, ill-prepared seed bed. With such seed-bed, neither stable manures nor commercial fer tilizers have their proper effect. Both require a fine, moist soil to bring out their full value. As a rule, it will not pay for an Ohio farmer to pot in thoroughly and well. Indeed, this is doubtless true of all crops every where, but especially so of the wheat crop in Ohio. The uniform testimony of our cor respondents is, that where the wheat was put in v early and well, in well prepared soil, especially where stable or yard manbre or commercial fertil izers were used, the crop will be ex cellent. So)me years wheat succeeds under poor far ming. The final and most important lesson of thisyear'a crop seem# likely to be, good farming pay*• \ Clippings and Comments.

Well, we are glad if it should prove to be true. Land monopoly is just, as de trimental to the interests of the peo ple as any other monoiwly, and there is a more tlian half-lormed suspicion ahead among the farmers that this particular form is so closely allied and interwoven with the system of railroad monopoly that the one is simply an outgrowth of the other. Every farmer will rejoice to know that their own weight is proving too heavy for them. I have known land so poor that it would not raine sand pons put up in five years by ploughing under H second crop of clover after mowing one and a half tone to the acre.— Connecticut farmer. Land that will cut "one and a half tons to the acre" is brought up easily enough, and it ought not to take five years to do it, either. After that point has been reached there is no trouble. How to get the land good enough to produce the ton and a half per acre is the question. A Bushel from Every Pound. ProfaMorA.B. Blonut. That a bushel of wheat, on an average all over the country, should be produced from every pound sown ought to be a fad , and not an expres sion in HO many words. That a bushel can be raised from every pound of wheat sown under all ordinary cir cumstances is a fact that farmers should verify every season. So long as they sow 90 to 120 pounds per aore, generally on poor land or on land poorly prepared, there will al ways be small crops and poor seed. When it takes three to five pounds of seed to raise a bushel, it is to say the least, a ruinous waste. Enough is wasted in such seeding to supply with bread the whole wheat-producing population the year round ; and not only is the direct loss sustained, but another—vis., thick seeding invaria bly hinders the wheat plant from pro ducing as much as it would were it not cramped and crowded so closely by its sapping neighbors. Farmers mistake the demands of almost all small grain. Generally they think the more seed, the larger yield, wbea the very reverse is the case. There are seeds that send up but one stalk and require to be sown thick ; there are others, like some of the grasses, that do better on sod thickly matted ; but wheat, oats, rye and barley show very clearly their repugnance to being sown too thick by their failure to stool out and make many stalks from one grain. When sown broadcast or with a drill, 30 pounds of good seed per acre should be the maximum all over the country upon all land that is in any way adapted to its growth. Many farmers have made extensive experiments in thin sowing, and in one single case were the conditions were favorable and the culture carried out on scientific principles, has there been a failure to produce from 50 to 6000-fold. Well authenticated re ports are on record when 40, 30, 15 and even seven and a half pounds sown per acre have produced three, four and even six times as much as any 90 pounds ever did. Every good kernel should make at least 20 good heads and every head at least 40 grains—Boo-fold. This shows the nature and habits of the wheat plant. I have known one kernel to produce 181 good heads each and these turned out an average of 37 kernels each or 6,697 kernels in all. In this county last year 76 kernels of my Hybrid No. 10 (weighing 51 grains Troy) planted on 76 square feet and cultivated, pro ducing 101 pounds avoirdupois— nearly 1,400 fold. On these grounds in small plots well cultivated last year no one of the 67 varieties sown produced less than 56-fold, all without any fertilizer whatever. Then in all reported ex periments that have been made in sowing wheat thin on large as well as small tracts, it has paid twice as much as the extra labor cost. Make Allowance for Losses. Breeder's Gazette. A failure of many writers for the agricultural press, but not at all con lined to them, is in making their cal culations on maximum yields; not allowing for failures or losses which are inevitable in large operations. One stalk of corn weighs so many pounds; so many can be grown on an acre ; multiply the two—product the expected yield per acre. One cow gives forty pounds of milk in one day ; to find the yield and profits ftom a herd of fifty cows, some would say you have only to multiply 2,000 by the price of milk per pound. 'One of the editors of this paper tlias just had his attention called to the fallacy of such calculations by a series of incidents and un toward events. A good cow got her head fast and was hooked by others until her recovery was impossible. A good calf, after thriving nicely for a week or two, sickened and died. A fine Berkshire sow, from which much was exacted produced a litter of only three pigs and lost two of these. And so of lesser things— from a sitting of choice Plymouth ltock eggs, four chickens are the pro duct. These things are not the rule, of course. The other cows and calves are doing well; and if the other hens do decline to set they are surprising ly nearly fulfilling that maximum of product—an egg a day for each hen. These losses reduce profits, but they might have been much worse, and we are nof at all discouraged. Late Tnrnipe. Vick'a Magazine. From the last of this month until the middle of August, according to locality, it will be seasonable to sow turnips for late crops. The land ought to be clean and rich, and made mellow. Sowing in drills so that the cultivator may be used is far the bet ter way. One of the best varieties for late keeping is the Strap-Leaf Ked Top, and at the same time a fine grained table variety and a heavy cropper, and valuable for stock-feed ing. Js'cw White Egg is an excellent sort that may be sowed later than most other varieties and will yet perfect a crop. If for any reason sowing should be delayed, this kind should be selected to make the crop. It has a firm, fine-grained flesh, and is a very desirable variety for the table.
