wrote asking your advice, as the physicians
hero told me I could get no relief except by
an operation. Suffered for feur years from
irregular and profuse menstruation, had sick
and nervous headaches most of the time,
and at times could hardly walk across the
floor from weakness. I thank God there is
such a remedy as fir. Pierce's Favorite Pre

taken the first bottle the headaches had left
me and it was not long before regularity was
established and still continues so. Have Just
finished house-cleaning which I never ex
pected to be able to do again, and can truly
say I never felt better than at present. I
gladly recommend ' Favorite Prescription'

has cured me and made me stronger in every

say enough in its praise."

HAYING DEVICES.
The Western Stacker as Vsed In Ohio,
(iood liar RlMlng.
The man who has stood with bin
back to the stack pitching hay by hand
under a ho't July sun will appreciate
the first picture here shown. The der
rick or pitcher will cost the man on
the farm about $5 in cash. It is
mounted on runners twelve feet long.
The base of the frame Is 10 by 10 feet
square and the top 5 by 5 feet. The
telephone pole in the center Is twenty
flve feet high. The nrm Is fourteen
feet long and the brace about twelve
feet. The pole and arm can be turned
in a complete circle by means of a
crowbar Inserted In the pole near the
bottom.
An entire haycock can be easily
lifted straight from the ground to a
A HAY DEItUICE.
level with the top of the stack, then
carried over and dropped at any place
on the stack. It will keep two men
busj' on the stack all the time, and
, they will not have to reach over the
edge of the stack to help get the hay
up. Besides, it does not drag up the
side of the stack, as many pitchers do,
nor does It make the stack heavier on
one side than the other. A round
stack can be built twenty feet high
and easily made to hold from twelve
to fifteen tons.' It saves time, money,
help, muscle, patience "and other
things too numerous to mention."
The foregoing expresses the idea and
experience of a writer In Ohio FarmeV,
and in the same Journal another cor
respondent describes his plan for un
loading hay with a horse fork In the
bam or on the stack, which he consid
ers very convenient and cheaper than
any set of haying tools and Just as
good. lie has used It for two years
and found it valuable.
This plan Is as follows: Fasten pup
ley blocks at A and C in the cone of
the barn. Then with an open ring
fasten another pulley to the ring In
the hayfork. Then tie one end of a
rope to the open ling, after It has been
closed, and then put the rope through
the pulley at C, then down through the
pulley at B, which Is on the fork, then
through tha pulley at A, then through
a pulley at D, which is down on
the barn floor. All that is neces
sary to change the fork so as to drop
hay In either mow Is to untie the rope
from the fork and tie the opposite end
there. This method saves one the cost
of track and car and will pull almost
directly straight upward until the fork
full of hay gets pretty well up, then
will travel over the mow.
Those who have hay to stack can
use this plan by using two tall posts
V
A GOOD HAT IUGOKO.
or one If the stack Is ueav a tree, which
can be used to fasten one pulley to.
Set the post far enough away so you
can drive a load of hay between the
post and the stack. This rigging will
not take any more rope than a track
and car and Is very convenient In
small barns.
"Seed Spot" Planting.
An Interesting way of planting in re
foresUng waste lands is known as the
"seed spot method" and consists, ac
cording to an exchange, in breaking up
the ground in small spots about two
feet square at Intervals of eight feet
away. A dozen seeds are scattered ou
J the loose earth and lightly covered
j with soil. When the seedlings are two
years old one is left where propagated,
j The others are used to plant In lnter
! vening spaces each way and in other
locations as needed.
Feeding Oraln to Calves.
Calves will begin to eat grain when
from seven to ten days old. The best
way to start them is to put a little
grain in their mouths immediately aft
er feeding them milk, and in this way
ielr attention Is called to the grain
instead of sucking each other's ears
und mouth. This taste will soon lead
them to the feed boxes, where they
\vill eat greedily.
Seed For High Protein Wheat.
Experiments lead Messrs. Harper
and Peter of the Kentucky experiment
station to believe that flinty kernels
from the middle of the head should be
selected from early maturing varieties
for developing a high protein type of
wheat.
THE DOCTOR KNOWS.
He !■ Not Deceived by the Story His
l'atlent Hands Him.
It was late, the doctor's patients had
either passed away or were mending,
and he was sitting with a number of
his acquaintances in a corner of the
club room.
"It's a strenuous life we lead,"
droned the man of medicine, "with the
grim side turned uppermost as a rule,
but now and then we get a laugh out
of it—a laugh with the lid on, of
course; vie can't afford to show we're
amused. I often wonder," he went on
genially, "why some of you chaps ever
send for a physician. You don't tell
him the truth once in twenty times.
You're in a bad way and you're sorry,
and to hear you talk I'd think your
mouths were cold storage boxes for
butter. You suspect that lobster or a
rich sauce you ate day before yester
day is at the bottom of the trouble.
You know what's curled you up, and
you're frightened out of a year's
growth for fear I'll learn.
"Accordingly, instead of taking me
into your confidence, you tell me an
Impossible story. And if I cross ex
amine you closely and hedge you in
you'll reluctantly admit that you've
been somewhat indiscreet. You smoked
four cigars Thursday and took six
drinks. Doesn't it ever occur to you
that I know by your flutters that you
smoked from breakfast to bed and
took sixteen drinks and six more for
good measure?
"If I were to believe you and dose
you for your ailments as you describe
them you'd never get well. Now and
then I have to give you strychnine and
nitroglycerin to restore the action of
the heart, and to listen to you I might
conclude that you'd had too much pink
ice at a children's party.
"As I hintgd, we gej
_ !
fun out of It. but what do you do It
for? We were not always doctors, we
haven't always taken the best cars of
ourselves, and we're not fools."— j
Providence Journal.
FEATHERED GLUTTONS.
Soma Very GrMdr Birds That An
Trimradoaa Feeder*.
Despite the fact that "the appatite
of a bird" has become a common phr»s«
for light eating. Investigations show
that birds are tremendous feeders. The
diet of the average kestrel (a small Eu
ropean hawk) is calculated at 1,000
mice a month, to say nothing of insects
and worms. The barn owl is as vora
j clous as the kestrel. An investigator,
■ after caging one of these birds, gave it
I seven mice one after the other. The
first six immediately disappeared, each
with a gobble and a gulp, and the owl
did its very best to treat the seventh
in a like manner. Limitations of ab
dominal capacity, however, prevented,
and though the gobble came off the
gulp did not, so that for twenty min
utes or so the tail of the seventh mouse
dangled from the corner of the bird's
beak. But In due course It swallowed
the body, and three hour-s later the
pangs of hunger reasserted themselves
and the owl ate four more mice.
Four pounds would be a heavy weight
for a heron. Yet one of those birds,
which was trapped in England, dis
gorged two recently swallowed trout,
one of which weighed two pounds and
the other one and a half pounds. An
other captured had contrived to put
away three trout averaging three-quar
ters of a pound apiece, although it was
only four months old, and another had
dined upon seven small trout, together
with a mouse and a thrush.
Among the greediest birds are wood
pigeons, which will continue to gulp
down food until their crops are almost
at the bursting point. From one of
these birds, shot as it. was returning
from a raid in the fields, no fewer than
800 grains of wheat were taken. An
other had contrived to cram down no
fewer than GOO peas. A third was en
deavoring to sustain nature with 180
beech nuts and a fourth with sixty
acorns.
"CUTTING OVER."
Hew Telephone Lines Are Moved
From One Snltchboard to Another.
"Cutting over" is the technical
phrase applied to moving the wires in
a telephone central office from one
switchboard to another. If you will
reflect that many of the switchboards
of the type used in the Bell exchanges
of large cities carry 9,600 lines, you
will see what a task transferring such
a mass of wires is. Indeed, there are
few mechanical operations which more
impress one with a sense of absolutely
perfect forethought and organization.
When an exchange is to be "cut
over," all the outside lines coming into
It, both overhead and underground, are
tapped and practically connected with
the new board while the old one is still
In use. That is to say, they are brought
into the main distributing frame,
which is the big rack through which
the outside lines are separated and
linked to the proper inside lines which
run directly into the switchboard and
terminate In the "jacks," by means of
which the operator is enabled to put
any two subscribers into communica
tion.
The opportunities for confusion and
mishaps in this work are evident, and
it speaks much for the painstaking care
with which it is done that a subscriber
Is practically never "lost," as the tele
phone engineer calls it, if one of the
lines is temporarily misconnected. To
secure such perfection innumerable
tests are necessary not only of the out
side lines, but of every switchboard
line, and these are conducted over a
long period so as in no way to disturb
the service of the subscriber.
The operators are thoroughly drilled
In the use of the new board, and when
It comes to the actual performance of
"cutting over," which generally takes
place some hour in the night when
business la always light, both boards
have a full force to work them. The
final step is to cut the old connections
and complete the new ones at the same
Instant. This is usually done by pull
ing out from the board to be abandon
ed the heat coils which are put into
every circuit in the distributing frame
as a protection to the apparatus against
an overload ot electricity from light
ning or from the crossing of wires, or
what not, and simultaneously pushing
coils into the mechanism that replaces
it. So rapidly can skilled men perform
the operation that one of them can put
600 or 700 colis in a place in thirty
seconds, and the whole process of "cut
ting over" in a large office occupies not
more than two minutes. There is no in
terruption of service, however, for one
group of wires is dealt with at a time,
so that no circuit is out of commission
more than half a minute at the longest.

Sensitiveness of Plants.
Darwin gave it as his opinion that
some plants can see, and an Indian
botanist relates some curious incidents
which tend to verify the belief. Ob
serving one morning that the tendrils
of a convolvulus on his veranda had
decidedly leaued over toward his leg
as he lay In an attitude of repose, he
tried a series of experiments with a
long pole, placing it In such a position
that the leaves would have to turn
nway from the light In order to reach
it. In every case he found that the
tendrils set themselves visibly toward
the pole and lu a few hours had twined
themselves closely around it.
Animals and Flesh Eating.
Arguing against the eating of meat,
an English writer remarks: "Almost
any animal can be made to eat flesh.
The kangaroo has canine teeth. Horses,
oxen and sheep may be taught to eat
flesh. Norwegian cows have been
known to eat flesh. Goldsmith saw a
sheep eat flesh. A carnlvor sheep Is
now in London. Spallanzani has
shown that u pigeon may be made to
live on flesh and an eagle on bread."
TITO Cnrloaa Knirea.
When Sheffield first became famous
for its cutlery a peculiarly shaped
knife, designed for a varir'f of uses,
was made with great care and sent to
the agent of the Cutler's company in
London. On one of the blades was en
graved the following challenge:
London, tor thy life.
Show me such another knife.
4"he London cutlers, to show that
they were equal to their Sheffield
brothers, made a knife with n single
well tempered blade, the blade having
a cavity containing a rye straw two
and a half inches in length, wholly sur
rounded by the steel; yet, notwithstand
ing the fact that the blade was well
tempered, the straw was not burned, j
singed or charred In the least! It is
needless to add that the Sheffield cut
ler? acknowledged themselves outdone
in Ingenuity.
Dangerous Vertigo.
© o
Dizziness or Swimming of the Head
Associated With a Sense of Fullness,
Dull Pain or Nervous Sick Head
ache is a certain Indication of
an Oncoming Apoplexy
or Paralysis.
Dr. A. W. Chase s
Nerve Pills.
If the person subject to attack of diz
ziness or swimming of the head, com
monly called vertigo, would only stop
to realize that these symtons are not a
disease in themselves, not temporary
ailments, but the plainest sort of warn
ings from nature of grave troubles of
deeper origin, of an exhausted nervous
system or an oncoming apoplexy, epi
lepsy or paralysis, the matter would
receive prompt attention. Dr. A. W.
Chase knew this and provided the cure
in his celebrated Nerve Pill, a medicine
that brings back the glow of health ana
strength by its power to furnish jnst
what the ill fed, half starved nervous
system needs, good, rich, wholesome
blood and nerve force or energy.
Mr. E. Smith, of No. 1 Union Street,
Troy, N. Y.. says:
"I used to suffer constantly from
nervous headache and dizzy spells.
They came on at any tiuie and in any I
place—l was never safe from them —
stooping over always resulted in vertigo
my head pained me as well. I got a box of
DR. A. W. CHASES NERVE PILLS
and they cured the trouble rapidly, eas
ily and completely. It is the best med
icine I ever took. lam as sound as a
dollar again in every particular and
very glad to recommend it to any one
in a similar condition as a safe and cer
tain cure." 5
