CZntRnSTT OF IffettiT. I
When the maker of a medicine, sold
through druggists for family u*e, takes I
his patients fully Into his confidence by
frankly and fearlessly publishing broad
cast as well as on its nottle wrappers,
a full list of all its ingredients In plain
English, this action on his part Is tho
best possible evidence that he is not
afraid to have the search light of inves
tigation turned full upon nla formula
and that It will bear the fullest scrutiny
and the most thorough Investigation.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the
cure of tho weaknesses, periodical pains
and functional derangements of the or
gans distinctly feminine, is tho only medi
cine put up for sale through druggists for
woman's special use. the maker of which
Is not afraid to take his patients into
his full confidence by such open and
honest publicity.
A gianeo at tho published ingredients
on each bottle wrapper, will show that It
Is raado wholly from native, American,
medicinal roots, that It contains no poi
sonous or habit-forming drugs, no nar
cotics and no alcohol—pure, triple-refined
glycerine, of proper strength being nsed
Instead of the commonly employed alco
hol, both for extracting and preserving
the active medicinal properties found In
tho roots of tho American forest plants
employed. It is the only medicine for
women's pecnlar diseases, sold by drug
gists, that does not contain a large per
centage of alcohol; which Is in the long
run so harmful to woman's delicate, nerv
ous svstem. Now, glycerine Is perfectly
harmless, and serves a valuable purpose
by possessing intrinsic value all its own,
and besides it enhances tho curatlvo
effect of the other ingredients entering
Into the "Favorite Prescription."
Some of tho ablest medical writers and
teachers endorse these views and praise
all the several ingredients of which "Fa
vorite Prescription" is composed —rec
ommending them for tho cure of the
very samo diseases for which this world
famed medicine is advised. No other
medicine for women has anv such pro
fe»»ional endorsement—worth more than
any number of ordinary testimonials. If
Interested, send namo and address to Dr.
R. V. Pierce. Buffalo, N. Y., for his little
Dook of extracts from the works of
eminent medical writers and teachers,
endorsing the soveral ingredients and
telling lust what Dr. Pierce's medicines
are maae of. It's free for the asking.

HOTBEDS.
Hon- Made and How M«n«*fd-Sow'<
the Time.
A liotbed is practically nothing more
than a board edged pit in which there
is fermenting manure covered with
several inches of soil. The top of the
hotbed is roofed with sashes, which
usually measure about 3 by 0 feet each, j
At night a straw or other mat Is laid
over the glass to keep out the cold.
The space between the soil and the
glass must nowhere measure less than
about sis inches iu the start. The soil
will sink as the manure ferments.
Hotbeds are usually made of inch
boards. If the boards on the back of
the frame are twelve Inches above
ground those in front should be sev
eral Inches lower, thus giving a slant
to the sashes.
If two or three good coatings of gas
tar are ajtplied hot to the inside of the
boards which come In contact with the
earth it will help to preserve them
; from decay. The boards, however,
must bo perfectly dry before coating
with tar.
About the latter part of February or
the beginning of March, collect under
fl>
SECTION OF HOTBED,
shelter some strawy manure and let it
heat for about a week before using,
turning it occasionally. Select a sunny
(southeast) exposure for the hotbed.
The pit for the hotbed may be one to
three feet deep. Good drainage is es
sential.
It is the practice of some gardeners
to make the bed entirely above ground.
Iu that case the frame should be at ev
ery point about a foot inside the edge
of the manure heap.
An Inch or two of coarse stuff is put.
at the bottom of the bed, and upon this
eighteen Inches to three feet of horse
manure. Next comes a layer of leaf
mold and on top four or tive inches of
fine garden loam.
The manure should be trodden down
in layers about six inches thick.—Farm
Journal.
EARLY LAMBS.
For Profit They Miint Be Kept MOT-
Ing Rapidly Alonsr.
First decide upou what you wish to
raise, early or late lambs. Have an ob
ject iu view, and work to attain that
object. The early lamb will cost you
more Intelligent labor and feed than
the late lamb, but if environments are
favorable and you have a good market
for early lambs you will find them the
most profitable. Now, if you have de
cided in favor of the early lamb, first
of Importance is the selection of ewes
which will breed early and are good
milkers, as an abundance of milk is
essential in the production of choice
lambs. Get a pure bred ram of an
early maturing mutton breed. At
lambing time, especially in cold weath
er, close attention is very necessary.
See that each lamb is on its feet and
partaking of a square meal before it
becomes chilled.
Feeding the Ewe.
For profit the early lauibs must move
along rapidly from birth to market —
that is, keep them doing their best ev
ery day. First look to the ewe; from
her the lamb gets the important part
of his feed. Feed the ewe generously
of protein feeds to be turned readily
Into milk. Milk, being rich iu protein, is
just what the lamb needs to make mus
cle, nerve and blood, to grow his frame
and build up bis young tissue. Feed
In flat bottom troughs, as lambs are apt
to bolt their food if fed from V shaped
troughs. The ewe should be fed a light
grain ration the first day or two after
lambing, then increase the ration until
you reach as large a quantity as tho
ewe will consume, the object being to
force this animal for milk production
same as the dairy cow.—National Stock

Soil* Improved by I.lmlnff.
There are soils which may be im
proved by liming. Heavy refractory
clays, difficult to plow and breaking up
into clods requiring much labor to pul
verize and producing a uniform and
healthy appearing hut small and un
satisfactory yields of other crops, may
be completely changed In character by
a large dressing of lime, the lime open
ing them up to the action of the weath
"er and putting them In such condition
that clover will grow luxuriantly.—C.
E. Tligrne, Ohio.
MARKET GARDENING.
Dig Pr«flta From Intensive Culture
ou Small I'lnce.H.
The nearer the farm Is to the market
the smaller we are apt to find it in
area and the more intensive its style
of business, with a large proportion of
Its area under glass. One of the small
est places Is one In Methuen, Mass.,
where there are only one and one-half
ucres, but from which the gardener
with the aid of two men sells nearly
$2,500 worth of vegetables a year. A
farm uf three and one-half acres In
Belmont has produced far greater re
sults. This place is mostly covered
with greenhouses. The farmer Is an
expert grower of lettuce, oueuinbers,
radishes, water eress, parsley and to
matoes. According to his own state
ment he has made £40,000 profit In ten
years. There is another farm in Bel
mont about the same size as this one
which has as much glass on it, and this
farmer has been even more successful
than his neighbor before spoken of.
These two little farms are only four
miles from Boston, and the salesmen
are In the market every day, thus keep
ing posted. They have the stuff every
day and so can dispose of it to advan
tage when short or when plentiful.
Shrewd lluMliienn.
These two men have been very
shrewd business men as well as good
growers. They have had very little
No. 2 stuff. They have worked with
their men and consulted them as to
methods of doing the work. They
have kept strict account of their busi
ness. No man knows better what to do
than the one who Is on the spot or
doing the work. Often the workmen
will discover some way of doing which
is more economical in time or make-:
tho goods look better when exposed for 1
CileT und ttis way will be adopted.'
The amount of manure used on these
small pieces will average thirty cords
per acre. On a market garden of
twenty-live to thirty-five acres It will
average eighteen to twenty cords, but
on those of 7o to 100 acres you will
find a different style of business and
the farmer using scarcely fifteen cords ,
per acre.—ll. M. Howard Before Mas-!
sachusetts Board of Agriculture.
FEEDING VALUE OF ROOTS.
When Fanner* Get the Right TwUt
on the Bnaineaa.
There are few American farmers
who grow roots as a regular crop year
after year. One reason is because
hand labor is necessary to a certain ex- ]
tent; another reason Is that their value .
Is not appreciated by stockmen because
they do not know how to feed them.
When a stock fanner raises a crop of
roots for the first time he Is !'able to
feed thetn in excess; then because re
sults are not satisfactory he makes up
his mind that he does not like roots td
feed.
The cost of growing roots Is being
reduced by improved machinery, due
in large measure to the successful
growing of sugar beets. Within ten
years great progress has been made
in this direction, and the stock grower
who wishes to raise roots for feeding
purposes is profiting thereby.
Condtmental Kffeet.
Ihere are cooling, healthful proper
ties about roots not possessed by any
plants grown above ground. Roots are
stimulating to a certain extent and ap
petizing when fed in connection with
ordinary farm roughage, which ac
counts for the increased consumption
of other feeds when roots are used.
These properties are approached but
not equaled by silage.
There Is a epndimental value to roots
when properly fed that gives stock the
sleek, comfortable appearance that Is
characteristic of thoroughbred stock
on the best English and Canadian
stock farms. The English farmer un
derstands how to grow roots and how
to feed them to the best advantage.
When American stock farmers get the
right twist on the business they will
be just as enthusiastic over their field
of roots for winter succulence as the
old stock raiser In England or Canada,
concludes Farm, Field and Fireside.
Soda aa Plant Food.
Five years of experiment leads the
Rhode Island experiment station to the
conclusion that soda cannot perform
all the functions attributed to potash,
for where soda was substituted entire
ly for potash crops became poorer
from year to year. Another result Is
that soda Is not as effective as potash
as a plant nutrient. It is not disputed,
however, that soda is of some use with
many varieties of plants when the sup
ply of potash is limited.

LIFELESS RIDERS.
ThrMlluK lucidenta Colled From tkt
llorror* of War.
A veteran of the British army in In
dia once saw a strange sight on a bat
tlefield. As he tells the story a squad
ron of cavalry had been held in reserve
under cover of a field battery and an
infantry regiment. The artillery duel
had ended. The assault of the enemy
iu overwhelming numbers had been re
pulsed by the steadiness of the infan
try. While a cloud of smoke hung over
the field the cavalry received an order
to charge with drawn sabers.
The troopers started in close order for
the enemy's line. Midway they met a
destructive fire from earthworks In
front of them and from the woods on
their Hank. A young cavalryman, with
his saber drawn, was shot In the heart
while leading in the first file. The horse
halted, swerved to the right and turned
back, but the rider kept his seat with
out flinching. The other troopers went
on, carried the earthwork by storm,
rode at full gallop after tho retreating
force and converted defeat into rout.
The dead trooper meanwhile was re
turning with white face and with the
blood streaming from his wound. Un
der his nerveless hand the horse re
ceived neither check nor leading and
made Its own way toward tho infantry,
which was now advancing rapidly. As
the smoke lifted the soldiers saw the
soiltary rider coming, with one hand in
a death grip upou the saddle, while the
other still held the sword rigidly
clasped.
It was a sight never to be forgotten—
the galloping horse, with the dead cav
alryman still mounted and looking grim
and fierce. It was not until the rkler
had gone fifty yards from the spot
where he had been killed that he rolled
off the horse.
A similar story is told of Captain No
lan, who delivered the fatal blundering
order for the charge of the famous Light
brigade. He was seen on the field of
Balaklava, riding from the hills where
the staff officers were drawn up to the
quarter where the brigade was station
ed. The charge began, and what was
left of the brigade returned In broken
groups.
At last Captain Nolan was seen gal
loping rapidly toward the center of the
field. He was firmly seated, straight as
an arrow and riding well. Suddenly
the horse swerved and the rider toppled
over.
The officers who were nearest rushed
forward, but when they lifted him from
tho ground they found him lifeless.
Like the Indian saberman, he had been
shot and instantly killed, but his horse
had carried him safely across the field,
out of tho reach of tho pursuing Cos
sacks.
The Minister** Tartan.
Every clan of Scottish higlilanders
had its own tartan, or striped colored
cloth, of which the kilt and plaid wero
made. It U not so well known, how
ever, that the clergy of the lilghland
ers down to a recent date used a tartan
for their weekday dress. The tartan
of the clergy, as it was called, was a
sober cloth of white, black and gTay
stripes. Ministers who did not care to
don the kilt almost always wore the
plaid or mantle of this material. Iu
the eighteenth century wheu tho high
laoders seldom went unarmed it was
the custom of some clergymen to wear
swords even at church and to be ac
companied by a gillie, or servant, car
rying a bow and sheath of arrows.
Nothing could better illustrate the dis
turbed state of those times than this
practice ou the part of the men who !
were pre-eminently preachers of peace ;
and universal good will.—Scotsman.
