riADE FROn NATIVE ROOT-**.
SAFE AND RELIABLE.
That the roots of many native plant-',
growing wild in our American forests,
possess remarknblo properties for the cure
of human maladies is well proven. Even
the untutored Indian had learned the
curative value of somo of these and
taught the early settlers their uses. The
Indian never liked work so ho wanted his
squaw to get well as soon as possible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, he dug "papoose root" for her,
for that was their great remedy for fe
male weaknesses. Dr. Pierce uses the
same root—called Blue Cohosh —in his
"Favorite Prescription," skillfully com
bined with other agents that make it
more effective than any other medicine in
curing all the various weaknesses and
painful derangements i>eculiar to women.
Many afflicted women have been saved
from the operating table and the sur-
f eon's knife by the timely use of Doctor
'ierce's Favorite Prescription. Tender
ness over the lower pelvic region, with
backache, spells of dizziness, faintness,
bearing dawn pains or distress should not
go unheeded. A course of "Favorite Pre
scription" will work marvelous benefit
in all such cases, and generally effect a
permanent cure if persisted in for a rea
sonable length of time. The "Favorite
Prescription" is a harmless agent, being
wholly prepared from native medicinal
roots, without a drop of alcohol in its
make up. whereas all other medicines,
put tip for sale through druggists for
woman's peculiar ailments, contain large
quantities of spirituous liquors, which
are very harmful, especially to delicate
women." "Favorite Prescription" con
tains neither alcohol nor harmfni habit
forming drugs. All its ingredients are
printed on each bottle wrapper. It is a
powerful invigorating tonic, imparting
nealtli and strength in particular to the
organs distinctly feminine. For weak
and sickly women, who are "worn-out."
or debilitated, especially for women who
work in store, olhee, or school-room, who
sit at the typewriter or sewing machine,
or bear heavy household burdens, and for
nursing mothers. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will prove a priceless benefit
because of its health - restoring and
strength-giving power.
For constipation, the true, scientific
cure is I)r. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
Mild, harmless, yet sure.

They are set 30 by 3"2 feet.

trestle rigs to be drawn through the
orchard, roofa must be had to get
around. As fast as the trees crowd we
keep cutting from the trees to be
eventually taken out and let the per
manent trees spread at will. Now.
after thirty-two years from setting, all
the large lower branches are off some
of the trees, and it is only a question
of time when the trees will be taken
out entirely. As will be seen by the
diagram, this will leave the permanent
trees (P> about forty-five feet apart
each way.
I*o*Moiilni£ tlie 801 l "Weevil.
11. W. Marston of the Louisiana crop
pest commission predicts that in five
years the cotton boll weevil will be
universally poisoned wherever it is in
April and May, just as the potato bug
is being universally poisoned. Mr.
Marston bases his prediction on experi
ments carried on at Keachie, La., last
year. He contends that it has been
conclusively proven that the hibernated
weevil can be killed in April and May
with paris green, and, he adds, in
Farm and Ranch:
"The Keachie demonstration proves
that had every weevil in Texas and
Louisiana beeu poisoned upon its first
appearance it would have solved the
boll weevil proposition. But it is said
that the boll weevil continues hibernat
ing into the hot, scorching mouth of
June (?). All the weevils I put up this
last year died in December. We can
risk those Juno hibernated (?) weevils."
Alfalfa In Ohio.
In a discussion of alfalfa growing at
the annual meeting of the Ohio farmers'
institute Mr. Wing advised to get good
clean seed. It should be a bright green
ish yellow in color; avoid brown seed.
Be sure it contains no weed seed, espe
cially dodder.
Mr. Kankin of Fayette county doubt
ed that alfalfa would grow 011 any and
every soil. Ho had succeeded with it
in somo instances, in others failed.
Mr. Wing stated that special soil
preparation was necessary to insure
good root development aad acknowl
edged that a crop was not always as
sured,
Giving Milk to a Ilnnfrry Calf.
Here is a calf feeding device sub
mitted in Farm Journal: A square
openiug is cut in the front side of the
pen just big enough to receive the feed
pail. Hinge the piece cut out to swing
In, as shown in the figures. Put a
chain or strap at each side so that the
open door will stand horizontal, with a

CALF FEEDING DEVICE.
cleat at its upper and outer edges (Fig.
1 2). The pail can be set in from the
outside, a cleat on the outside holding
the top of the pail from coming in
through and the cleat 011 the door liold
i lag the bottom of the pail from being
pulled off the door. This does away
with the great trouble encountered in
trying to set a pail of milk over into
the pen of a hungry calf.
A Gentle Hint.
This notice to prospective visitors is
credited to a German gardener: "To
those kind friends who during the past
season showed such interest in the con
tents of my humble garden: Take no
tice that In future the key can always
be had 011 application, even during the
| night, and that to enter by the gate is
•much less dangerous than clambering
I over the wall. I shall further be deep
j ly grateful if in future you would be
so generous as to leave a little of the
produce for my needs. Thanking you
for past favors," etc.
Tea Tablets.
Tea tablets are a new product from
the tea gardens of the department of
agriculture at Summerville, S. C. The
dried tea leaves - are steamed and com
pressed into tablets about the size of
a penny anil twice as thick, each o
which will make a cup or more of tea.
Drainage of Irrigated Lands.
While the necessity for the drainage
of Irrigated lands will doubtless be less
obvious when water is mi re econom
ically used and supply canals are Im
proved In such a way as to diminish
leakage, a considerable loss of water
from both causes will always bo un
avoidable, so that drainage will al
ways be an essential part of the im
provement of irrigated land in some
localities.
GARDEN SNAPSHOTS
Get the poisons ready for the early
insects.
j Beginning with the advent of spring
! there are few places so Interesting as
the hardy tlower garden. The annuals
have to be sown and the half hardy
plants have to be planted before they
can be enjoyed.
If a gardener has not experimented
with his soil so as to know to what
fertilizing elements it really needs he
must use a formula, and one carrying
about .1 to j per cent nitrogen, sto 0
per cent available phosphoric acid and
4 to 5 per cent potash will usually bo
found as profitable as any.
I Sow Prizetaker onions indoors, to be
j transplanted to the garden in May.
If seeds are planted In dry soil or in :
soil that Is less moist than the seeds tlio 1
drier soil will extract the moisture 1
from the seed and retard development. 1
The radish Is one of the favorite ear
ly spring vegetables, and it is 0110 of '
easy cultivation. We naturally look (
forward to this as the one very early, |
If not the first, that we are to grow to 1
maturity, either in the frame or outsldo -
ground. 1
For success with parsnips use fresh |
seed, plant very early and quite thick
and thin out the seedlings to six to
serea lathes apart.
