m The troable with
us nowadays is, that
w« do lead n at*
ural The fem
society is especially
culpable in this way.
Tj£f9lß It is really a wonder
*#ll that women art- as
MfllSw healthy as they are.
Very few women get
Wnfl any outdoor exer-
WMWIV oise. Very many get
no exercise at all.
Modes of dressing
interfere with the
proper muscular
action and with ths
circulation of the
blood. All the hy-
gienic laws are bro
ken. It is little won-
WlmV- .J fler that nine women
in ten are troubled
with some derangement or irregularity in
Qie action of the organs distinctly feminine.
Neglect and WTcng living will show them
mlve-s first in the most driicate organs of
tfie whole body. With such weakness and
sickness so prevalent, it is to be expected
that the bearing of children would be
fraught with dread and danger. It should
not be so, of cou*se. Nature never meant
it to be so. The performance of the lush
est fnnction of which a woman is capable
•hould not be accompanied by pain. IT
perfectly natural living were the rule, it
would not be so. As lives are lived, some
fcing else must be done. A remedy must
be found. For over thirty years, Dr. Pierce
has been chief consulting physician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Surreal Institute, of
Buffalo, N. Y. During: that time he has
treated thousands of women. He has
(bund in his "Favorite Prescription" a
nevefrfailing specific for female complaints.
It strengthens the whole body and when
taken during gestation, shortens the period
of labor and makes childbirth well-nigh
painless. It also promotes an abundant
of nourishment for the child.
PJ paint the best is the
cheapest. Don't be misled by
trying what is said to be "just as
good," but when you paint insist
upon having a genuine brand of
Strictly Pure
White Lead
It costs no more per gallon than
cheap paints, and lasts many times
as long.
Look out for the brands ofWhite

lowing are sure:

THE CITIZEN.
The Fault« of tha Plow.
The primitive Egyptian and Assyrian
plow consisted of a forked branch of a
tree, one arm of which served as a share,
loosening the soil, the other a# a beam,
drawn by human or by animal power.
This was the original double monldboard
or listen plow, throwing the soil both
ways. An improvement was made by so
shaping the wooden monldboard as to
form a twisted wedge, which elevated,
inverted, and carried the soil to one side
only of the plow. A farther improve
ment was made by making the point of
the share ot iron. Simple as it seems, it
was not until April, 1831, that centre
draught was given to the plow by Meares,
who inclined the beam inward. In 173",
New bold patented & east iron plow, and
commenced its manufacture, but aban
domed it, for the farmers said the iron
plow poisoned the land. The steel and
wrought iron plow was not invented
until 1808. In 1788, Thomas Jefferson
improved the plow by showing its proper
principles of construction, and in IS>O
and 1837 Daniel Webster experimented in
plow manufacture, and said that none of
bis successes in public life has given him
so much pleasure as seeing the improved
plow of hiß own construction, drawn by
six yoke of oxen of his own raiting, cut
broad aud deep farrows through brush and
saplings. In 1845, Governor Holbrook
invented a method of shaping plow mould
boards symmetrically, either convex or
concave.
All of the improvements wtiich have
been made in the plow, from the earliest
agriculture until now, are simply mod
ifications of the original idea: a *edge
drawn through the soil, pulverizing aud
displacing it. No better method has
been lound.
The faults ol the plow are serious ones.
The bicycle may be credited with having
brought ball bearings into general notice
and showing decrease of lriction when
sliding friction is converted into rolling
friction. All ol the weiring surfaces of
the plow are sliding lrictional surfaces,
and the lots of power occasioned by fric
tion of sticky earth upon the plows ol
this broad domain of ours is past computa
tion. The plows of the day are rigid and
inadjustable in form. In sandy or in
loose or light soils, and in lumpy or
clayey soils, in sh%llow or in deep plow
ing, in plowing at slow or at last speed,
no adjustment or change of form can be
made to suit the special conditions of
the work, yet these different conditions are
often found in one plantation, and the
plow should be capable of being modified
to suit these conditions.
If a perpendicular line is drawn from
the point of attchment of the harness tug
and hame to the ground, and another liue
from the same point to the center of
work in the mouldboard of the plow, and a
horizontal line connecting the cenur ol
work with the perpendicular line, then
the hypotenuse of the triangle thus torrned
represents the total tractive effort, the
horizontal line, or base of the triangle, re
presents the useful tractive effect, and the
perpendicular line represents the part of
the traction which is expended in pulling
the horses down upon the ground. In
some cases one-third ot the tractive
effort of the horse is expended in increas
ing the pressure of the horses' feet upon
the ground instead of in advancing the
plow.
In a 14 inch plow the earth is elevated
say 14 inches carried sideways 14 inches
and deposited, inverted, in the preceding
furrow. It is easy to see that each inch
of unnecessary elevation represent* a great
amount or unnecessary labor durius the
lifetime of a plow, and that the carrying
of all the surface soil sideways to the
preceding farrow represents a great ag
gregate travel of soil; that is, eflort in
plowing large fields.
The fbare ot the plow, like the fluke of
a ship's anchor, is shaped so as to draw
down into the foil. The line of traction,
from the center of the inoaldboard to the
center of the horse collar, tends to draw
the plow out of the ground. The plow
advances horizontally as a sort of com
promise betwee'i these divergent lines,
and there clearly results a loss of power
oocasioced by the line draught being ia one
plane while the lino of traction is in
another plane.
When the total weight of all the sur
ficn soil which is elevated, and also
carried sideways, in plowing all the
cultivated area of this country is calculat
ed it is clearly teen that the agricultui
ists of the country waste each year, in in
cidental but not in useful work, iu exces
sive slidiug friction, in indirect l ; nes of
traction, in unnecessary resistance caus
ed by imperiect forms, aud by inadjusa
bility o! form of the plow, a greater
amount of labor than was wasted by the
building of the great Pyramids in Egypt, or
in the building ot the Chinese Wall. If
all the soil thus removed were transported
to the aggregate distance which it is
transported and e'evated to the aggregate
height which it u elevated, iu one hiap,
n<> one would dare to attempt the ro
moval of the heap with no better im
plement than the plow.
Although 19,122 patents havo been
granted on the plow, in this country
aloce, it still offers a promising field lor
future inventors. The killing strain on
the muscles of horses in starting street
c&rs was not fully considered until the
electric motor took the place or horses in
street car work; then it was found that
it required three times as powerful
a motor to start a car as to run it
after it was started. The lws of power in
vehicles by slidiug friction was not under
stood until the bicycle, propelled by hu
man muscle, showed tho utility of convert
ing sliding into rolling friction by ball
bearings, and the labor wasted in drag
ging the plow will never, perhaps, be right
ly considered unless inventors themselves
drag th« plow, and inquire into the reasons
and causes of excessive effort required by
this ancient and iudispensa ble implement
upon which all cultivation depends. The
horse and the mule cannot complain, and
so the plow remains the plow, improved
in material ar.d workmanship, but retain i
jng many of the faults of the plow of our
remote ancestors.
It would seem that agriculturists have
to observe the working ol the implements
they use, to notice errors ol construction,
to study the conditions, and should have
ability to suggest means of improvement.
Singularly, very lew cases are known
where agriculturists have invented or im
proved their implements. Uorejsingularlv,
very few radical inventions or new depart
ures have been made by icon iu their own
lines of work. The machinist instructively
judges a suggostpd improvement in me
ccanics by what he has aeeu. The la vy«r
naturally tests innovations by past decis
ions. The physioiou unavoidably refers
to his rending or practice for approval or
condemnation ol anything new in his line
The agriculturist can but Seldom ilivi st j
b mselt of pre ouceived notions. Mor«u.
the inveu'or of the telegraph, was uot nil
electrician; Watts, the inventor of the j
steam engine, was not a machinist The !
list may be extended indefinitely. To j
make a new departure, a redical invention, I
seeuis to require an ingenious uian. nn- |
trammeled, opeu to new ideas aud up- j
proaching a subject from a new side. Ask i
ai agriculturist how a plow may be im- j
proved, ai d instinctively hi* miud will pic" I
ture a crooked thing of steel aud wood j
which is essentially what he
has seen. There are few of
us who are not mentally hide-bound, few
er still who do not travel in mental ruts,
there are fow who do not inherit re
ligons, or absorb politics from newspapers,
or from associates or their ideas from those
they admire, or their mechanical opinions
trom what we have seen, or read, or heard
*
The inventor who will furnish a super
ior substitute for the plow will probably
not be a plowman, lie will almost sure
ly lie poor, for rich men cannot invent.
When an inventor becomes ricb, which
happens but rarely, his attempts at farther
inventions are passing queer. He will
meet opposition. Others will develop his
invention and reap the reward, and long
alter he is dead a statue will be raised to
his memory, and his name will appear in
the list of benefactors of the race, through
but few of the millions benefited by his
work will know of bim or his work, or will
care to know.
