JUetara. Editor* .
The above is a good likeness of Mm. Lydia E. Pink
ham, of Lynn, Mass., who above all other human bclngi
imiy truthfully called the "Dear Friend of Woman,"
as Bomb of her correspondents love to call her. She
Is tcalously devoted to her work, which la the outcome
of & life-study, and in obliged to keep six lady
asaiatantfi, to help her anawcrthe largo correspondence
which daily pours In upon her, each bearing its special
burden of suffering, or joy at release from it. Her
Vegetable Compound Is a medicine for good and not
evil purposes. I have personally investigated it and
am satisfied of the truth of this.
On account of its proven merits. It Is recommended
and prescribed by the best physicians in tho country.
One sayst "It works like a charm and sa%-es much
pain. It will cure entirely the worst form of falling
of the uterus, Leucorrhopa, Irregular and painful
Menstruation, all Ovarian Troubles, Inflammation and
Ulceration, Flooding*, all Displacements and the con*
sequent spinal weakness, and is especially adapted to
the Change of Life."
It permeates every portion of the system, and gives
now life and vigor. It removes f&intness. flatulency,
destroys all craving for stimulants, and relieves weak
ness of the stomach. It cures Bloating. Headaches,
Nervous Proa't rat ion, General Debility, Sleeplessness,
Pepreaidon and Indigestion. That fee ling of bearing
down, causing pain, weight and backache, is always
permanently cured by its use. It will at all times, and
undor oil circumstances, act in harmony with the law
that governs the female system.
It costs only $l. per bottle or six for $5., and is sold by
druggists. Any advice require das to si*erial cases, and
the names of many who have been restored to perfect
health by the use of the Vegctablo Compound, can lie
obtained by addressing Mrs. I'., with stamp for reply,
at her home in Lynn, Mass.
For Kidney Complaint of either sex this comj>ound i t
unsurpassed as abundant testimonial* show.
'•Mrs. I'inkham's Liver Pills," says one writer, "ar**
the best in the trortd for tho cure of Constipation,
Biliousness and Torpidity of tho liver. Iler Blood
Purifier works wonders in its special line and bids fair
to equal the Compound in it* popularity.
All must n spci-t her as an Angel of Mercy whose sole
ambition is to dogood to others.

In Spain it is the custom of every
one who eats a fruit to dig a little
hole and plant the seed, and the roads
in that country are lined with trees,
the fruits of which are free to all.
Some one says : "The man has not
lived in vain who plants a good tree
in the right place."
A RICH lumberman in northern
Michigan has salted a small lake and
planted it with oysters. Salt costs
very little at Saginaw, and as the
lake has no outlet it is easy to keep
the water salt. He expects to raise
as fine 03'sters as can be found on
any of the bays of the coast.
THOSE who place high value on
improved stock should keep in view
the fact that the use of inferior stock
of any breed will not give satisfac
tion. In order to improve the animal
must be vigorous, of good form, and
up to the standard of purity. Breed
ers wrong their customers and injure
their reputation in allowing any but
good stock to go from their stock !
farms.
SINCE it is claimed that an acre
of fish-pond will produce more food
than five acres of ground, why should
not farmers rnise their own fish as
systematically as they do hogs or
cattle? And why should they not
turn their attention to fish culture as
a regular industry and rceof prof
it, especially thos: who have the ad
vantage of good markets ? There*
are few farms that, with a little lahot'
and expense, could not get water to
supply a fish pond.
Overworked Farmers.
At this season of the year when
the cultivation and harvesting of
tarm crops claim the constant atten
tion of farmers, and when excessive
heat makes hard work so depressing,
there is danger from overwork with
the ambitious farmer, who has his
entire mind on the safety of his
crops. Probably one-half of the farm
ers of our country work too hard for
the good of their health, and very
often it is entirely unnecessary.
Farmers who have a number of work
men under their supervision can
usually accomplish as much bj' their
minds as by their hands, and with
less fatigue. There is much in the
management of farm laborers, and to
direct one's hands so as to accomplish
the greatest amount of work in the
least time is one of the secrets of suc
cessful farming. The farmer who
toils incessantly through the day in
the hot sun, or perhaps in the rain,
besides doing chores morning and
night, finds little pleasure in life.
And he tealizes less, too, from his
labor than he expects. A more suc
cessful farmer will hire his hard work
done, and keep himself fresh and
vigorous, and his hands encouraged
by performing less work himself and
directing and showing others. In
every large business where laborers
are hired, a person is needed whose
chief business it is to plan, lay out
and direct work, and it holds true as
much on a farm as in a machine shop,
carriage manufactory or store. A
great fault with farmers is, that they
have too little system about their
business. More thought and leas
hard labor will do wonders on some
farms, and the owners would reap the
reward in greater frcodom and more
happiness.
, . "..A.,;,,!
Tar the Noses of Sheep.
Practical Farmer.
The mouths of July and August
are the ones when sheep in many lo
calities are subject to a most aggra
vating annoyance from fly (oestrus
bovis) which seems bound to deposit
its larvte in the nostrils. It infects
wooded distiicts and shady places
where the sheep resort for shelter,
and by its ceaseless attempts to enter
the nose makes the poor creature
almost frantic. If but one fly is in a
flock they all become agitated and
alarmed. They will assemble in
groups, holding their heads close to
gether and their noses to the ground.
As they bear the buzzing of the lit
tle pest going from one to another,
they will crowd their muzzles into
the loose dirt, made by their stamp
ing, to protect themselves, and as the
pest succeeds in entering the nose ot
a victim, it will start on a run, fola
lowed by the whole flock, to find a
retreat from its enemy, throwing its
head from side to side, as if in the
greatest agony, while the oestrus,
having gained his lodging- place, as
siduously deposits his larvte in the
inner margin of the nose. Here,
aided by warmth and moisture, the
eggs quickly hatch into a small mag
got, which carrying out its instincts,
begins to crawl up into the nose
through a crooked opening in the
bone. The annoyance is fearful, and
maddening, as it works its way up
into the head and cavities.
The best known remedy is tar, in
which is mixed a small amount of
crude carbolic acid. If the scent of
the acid does not keep the fly away
he gets entangled in the tar, which is
kept soft by the heat of the animal.
Any kind of tar or turpentive is use
ful for this purpose, and greatly pro
motes the comfort of the sheep and
prevents the ravages of the hot in the
head.
Canning Tomatoes.
DonAhoe'ii Muguzinp.
Many people who are quite sue- j
cessful in canning fruits generally,
are apt to fail with the tomato. A
lady says : "We have ten acres of
fruit of all kinds and I take a great
deal of pride in canning fruit. 1 get
nearly all the prizes at the fairs. 1
wish you could just peep into my
cellar to see my tomatoes and peach
es, some canned last fall, and some a
year ago, not mentioning my other
fruit. I will tell you how 1 canned
my tomatoes —both red and yellow
lA)j<cK\ho tomatoes—the smoothest
het shaped—ami scald them
very carefully; take the
stein out with a pen knife, tuking care
not to cut the tomato so as to let
the juice or seed run out; then I place
them in the cans, some of litem with
the stem end next to the can, and
some with the blossom ends ; then I
lake the juice that has run out of
some that I have peeled to cook, hav
ing no seed nor pulp, and add a little
salt and pour on my whole tomatoes
until nearly full ; then place them in
a kettle of cold water, and let them
cook till I think they are heated
through ; then I seal them. I use
nothing but glass jars—two quart
jars—and after the cover has been on
about five minutes, I take it otT, so
they will settle, letting the gas out;
then I fill up with juice and seal
again, and my cans are always full to
the cover. A great many have not
learned this. You have no idea how
nice they look through glass; they
show every vein and rib, and look as
if they were put up raw, and when
used they are just as if they had just
been taken from the vines—and if
you don't believe me, try it tbis sum
mer. I always keep my fruit in the
dark, and it don't fade through the
glass.
1. THE best soil for wheat is rich
clay loam.
2. Wheat likes a good, deep bed.
3. Clover turned under makes just
such a bed.
4. Tbe best seed is oily, heavy,
plum and clean.
6. About two inches is tbe best
depth for sowing tbe seed.
6. Tbe drill puts in tbe seed better
and cheaper than broadcasting.
7. From tbe middle of September
to the last of October is tbe best
time for sowing.
8. Drilled, one bushel of seed per
acre; if sown broadcast, two bushels
per acre.
9. One heavy rolling after sowing
does much good,
10. For flour, cut when the grain
begins to harden; for need, not until
it has hardened.
Save the Hay.
Com will be scarce and high next
Winter. That will send up the price
of pork and beef to high figures.
The only way to take the proper ad
vantage of that condition of things
is to save all the hay possible, to help
make up the deficiency. Scarcity of
corn will make high prices tor all
kinds of feeding stuffs, including hay.
Therefore, whether or not one lias a
home demand for hay, for feeding, he
should cut all the grass that Nature
gives him this year. It is too often
the case with Western farmers that
they save only the cream of the grass
crop, leaving that which is more
scant, to fall down and go to waste.
Every farmer this j'ear should cut
clean the thick and thin grass alike i
cure it as well as the season will al
low and store in stack or barn for
Winter use or sale. Saving the pro
ducts usually wasted, means the dif
ference between large and small prof
its.
The Value of Clover.
Prof. Voelcker is one of the
strongest advocates for clover in a
farm rotation, and gives these as his
conclusions upon its value and gen
eral character:
1. A good crop of clover removes
from the soil more potash, phosphoric
acid, lime, and other mineral matters,
which enter into the composition of
the ashes of our cultivated crops,
than any other crop usually grown
in this country.
2. There is fully three times as
much nitrogen in a crop of clover as
in the average product of the grain
and straw of wheat per acre.
2. Clover is an excellent prepara
tory crop for wheat.
4. During the growth of clover, a
large amount of nitrogenous matter
accumulates in the soil.
5. This accumulation, which is
greatest in the surface soil, is due to
decaying leaves dropped during the
growth of clover, and to an abund
ance of roots containing, when dry
from IJ to 2 per cent, of nitrogen.
G. The clover roots are stronger
aDd more numerous, and more leaves
fall on the ground, when clover is
grown for seed, than when it is
mown for hay ; in consequence more
; nitrogen is left after clover seed than
! after hay.
7. This crop causes a large accu
mulation of nitrogeuous matters
which are gradually changed in the
| soil to nitrates.
8. Clover not only provides abund
ance of nitrogenous food, but deliv
ers this food in a readily available
form, as nitrates, more gradually and
continuously, and with more certainty
o( good result, than such food can be
applied to the land in the shape of
nitrogenous spring top dressings.
IT goes without saying that oat 9 is
grown as feed for stock. Has it been
demonstrated that the usual adopted
mode produces the best results ? If
not, is it not worth inquiring into, by
means of some carefully conducted
experiment? We incline to think,
judging from a limited experience in
the matter upon our own farm, that
oats cut before ripening, say when
the grain is "in the milk," and treated
and fed on hay, will furnish more
and better feed than when allowed to
ripen, threshed, and fed in the usual
way. If this be true, the gain would
be considerable, if the saving in labor
should be added to the increase of
the feed. Is not the experiment
worth trying? Where "cut feed'' is
used for the teams, as is often the
case on farms—and always should be
a profitable modification of this plait
may be made bj* cutting the oats
while at the same stage of ripening
binding it in sheaves, as dsual, and
using it in place of the time-honored
rye-straw. Very much less than the
customary amount of "chop feed"
will answer, and the very unpleasant
labor of threshing the oats will have
been saved.
BAKED eggs are sometimes relished
by those who find fried ones greasy
and indigestible. Butter a deep
earthen pie-plate then put in the eggs,
taking care not to, break the yolks of
any; pat a little lump of butter on
each egg, and a little pepper and salt f
too. If the oven ie hot, the eggs will
be cooked sufficiently in four minutes.
As soon as the whites are firmly set
they are done.
