Pinkham's Vegetable Compound just as this woman did, and not accept something else on which the druggist can make a little more profit. "Women who are passing through this critical period or who are suffering from any of those distressing ills pe culiar to their sex should not lose sight of the fact that for thirty years Lydia E.

She says: "An injury to my Bpine in early wom anhood left me subject to severe sick headaches which would last three or four days at a time, and a violent course of drugging brought on consti pation with all the ills that follow. "My appetite was always light and uncertain and many kinds of food dis tressed me. "I began to eat Grape-Nuts food two or three years ago, because I liked the taste of it, and I kept on because 1 soon found it was doinp: me good. "I eat it regularly at breakfast, fre quently at luncheon, and again before going to bed—and have no troubi" 'sleeping on it.' It has relieved niy con stipation, my headaches have practi cally ceased, and I am in better physi cal condition at the age of 63 than I was at 40.

FEEDING IS IMPORTANT AS PRINCIPAL SOURCE OF PROFIT Farmer Now Provides Live Stock With Canned Green Fodder, Called "Silage," Made Most Commonly From Corn, Cow-Peas, Clover, or Alfalfa, Chopped Fine and Stored in Silos. Solid Modern Concrete Silo. The principal source of profit In dairying, stock-raising and farming lies in improving the quality and at the same time keeping down the cost of production. In this matter of profit and loss nothing plays such an im portant part as the question of feeds and feeding. The natural feed for ani mals, the one on which they do best, 1B green pasture. In climates subject to frost, man has made the same pro vision for animals as for himself by providing them in winter with canned green fodder called "silage." Silage is made most commonly from corn, cow peas, clover, sorghum, or alfalfa, mere ly chopped fine and stored in large ■water-tight cans known aj "silos." In tk £ o « *'■ ' ■» V [ * : I * A « o A ( ;• v -JoT* -JoT* Showing Reinforcing. dry weather or in winter, when green pasture cannot be had, this feed is equally good in producing a flow of milk or in putting fat on animals. One j acre of a crop harvested as silage will feed twice as much stock as the same | amount harvested in any other man ner. Like a glass fruit jar, a silo must be water-tight and jointless to keep the silage from molding or "dry firing." For this reason, and also because no painting or repairing is ever neces- Bary, solid-wall concrete silos are coming into general use. The best silos are built circular in Bhape. The size depends upon how many animals are to be fed daily, the quantity in pounds for each animal's dally feed, and the number of days it j may be necessary to feed them. The COMBINED TOOL HANDYONFARM ! Scoop Detachably Connected and Hun Grooves for Tines — Advantages nr« Eusily Seen. A combination implement that is dy for farm and stable use has bden designed by a man in the state of, Washington. It is a i#rk and shovel combined, and its advantage is that it Fork and Shovel In One. takes up no more room than one of these tools and can quickly be turned f.-om one into the other. The basic •laplement is » fork, and the shovel i-ortion Is adjustably connected. In heed of the scoop are holen silo should be of such sfze that a layer I of silage at least two irches in depth j will be removed each day after feed ing has begun. This prevents a thin top layer from molding. A dairy cow requires about forty pounds of silage per day, and the following table is based on this amount. Forty pounds is also the average weight of a cubic foot of silage. Locate the silo where it will be con venient for feeding. Usually it is joined to the barn by means of a j chute and passageway with doors. Since the silo and its contents are j heavy, it must be built on solid j ground. The bottom of the foundation j should go below frost line. The silo J may, with advantage, extend four to five feet into the ground. Dig the pit j large enough to allow for the thick- j ness of the circular walls and a foot- \ ing two feet wide. In order to save lumber the con crete is poured into forms which can j be moved up as the concrete sets or becomes hard. These movable forms consist of two circular shells three to j four feet high, so made that one fits within the other with space between i for a six-inch wall. The horizontal framework consists of 2 by 4 inch tim- j bers cut to a circle, which are cov- j ered with sheet metal or wooden lag- j ging. Each piece must be long enough to provide for a six-foot three inch length of the circumference of the circle as well as several inches for the lap or strap joints. The forms are raised by loosening them at the joints and setting them up again on the fin ished section of the silo. Concrete for silos should be rich in Portland cement and should be put into the forms mushy wet. Mix it one part cement to two parts sand to four parts crushed rock. Four parts of | clean pit or bank-run gravel may be used instead of the sand and rock, i Measure all materials on the basis ! that one bag of cehient equals one ] cubic foot. Many persons raise the ; concrete in buckets, but the work can j be done more quickly and easily by j using a horse together with a der- j rick or a well braced jib-boom fixed to an adjoining building. The first cost of concrete silos may or may not be greater than that of the ; best of any other kind. The time is now at hand when farmers, like rail- j roads and corporations, are consider- \ ing the lasting qualities of buildings. ! Concrete siloe need no insurance; J they do not blow down or burn up. j They never have to be painted or re- j paired. With other kinds of silos dur- ! ing their short lives these expenses alone equal the first cost. Concrete I lasts forever. through which the tines of the fork pass when the scoop is to be attached, and across the bottom is a metal strip with a series of longitudinal grooves, through which the tines also pass and which serves to hold the shovel firmly I in position. The usefulness of such a tool can readily be understood. In a case where a man has both shovel ing and forking to do, as around a barnyard, he can accomplish the work by a quick transformation of this de vice instead of having togo and get a different implement every once iu a while. Cow Weeding. The removal of weed cows from th«i herd is doing more for the dairy busi ness than perhaps any other one thing. So profitable has this line of dairy work proved that many dairy men who were about ready to abandon the dairy business have taken a fresh start. Hut the mere removal of weed cows is not enough. Their places must be taken by better ones. These are easily secured by using pure-bred sires of known milk producing strains. Ilecords show that this line of work is also profitable. More and more dairy men annually are adopting it. Some men themselves do the work of weed ing and breeding; others rely upon cow-testing associations. These as sociations cost little and pay well as cow weedars. Wants Bureau of Inspection. The Kansas department of agricul ture wants to establish a bureau to inspect grain feed, seed and hay with I the purpose of raising the standard ion these commodities. Chicago anc 1 St. Louis already nave such bureaus Tod Mannow's Strategy "Shucks!" said Tod Mannows, dis tinctly. Then he sat down on the low est step and glumly surveyed the back card. Never before had he noted how extremely large is a back yard 30 by 30 feet. Thrusting his hands into his pock ets he leaned back stiffly and contin ued to glower at the vast expanse. The reason for this sudden and ex treme dislike for the rear part of the Mannows premises was the ultimatum issued that morning at breakfast by the elder Mannows. "I'm tired of your fooling around getting into mischief all through va cation," his father had announced at the conclusion of an episode relat ing to two broken windows, a careless ly thrown baseball and an irate neigh bor. "You are big and strong enough to devote your surplus energy to something useful. I have long wish ed to have a garden. Now, you may spade up the entire back yard so that next spring it will be in condition to j plant. You can take as long as you like for its accomplishment, but you've got to work at it for awhile every day." Tod was well acquainted with his father. Nothing short of a convul sion of nature and the complete wiping out of the Mannows premises would suffice to alter that decree. Therefore, he remarked again with desperate em | phasis, "Shucks!" and then got to his j feet slowly. At an ear piercing whistle from the j next yard he looked even more glum j than before. The summons emanated J from Fatty Dyckman and meant that I the boys were gathering in the base j ball lot. "Can't!" Tod yelled to Fatty. "Gotta j spade a garden!" j Fatty's head rose above the high I board fence. "Aw, cuinalong!" he said, | unbelievingly. He looked serious, how- I ever, when Tod appeared at the base- I ment door with a spade in his hand, j "Gee!" he breathed. "That's fierce! Mebbe I'll help you," Fatty said nobly, j "If I get time, that is," he added, more j cautiously. Tod did not cheev ttp at the hand ! some offier. He was a pessimist on this | subject. Fatty's head disappeared, and | Tod with great effort spaded up at j least a teaspoonful of the soil. Manual j labor was his acute idea of nothing at all to do. Suddenly something in the dirt glit tered and he pounced upon it breath lessly. It was nothing but a bit of glass. As he turned it over in his fingers an idea crept into his brain. A grin slowly transfigured his features. Then he dropped the piece of glass and the spade, ran to the rear door and slid into the house. When he emerged he had his moth er's embroidery scissors and a large back comb that belonged to his sister. It had been laid away in her top bu reau drawer to await the return of the j style demanding large back combs in i one's hair. Thickly strewn over it I were big, sparkly brilliants which glit | tered in the sunlight like the best | product of the South African mines. It did not take the boy long to pry , them all loose. They made a hand | ful. Tod planted three of them very near ; the spot where he had spaded up the ! teaspoonful of soil. Then he distrib | uted the others over the yard with the skill of a veteran Salter of gold mines. | Next he strolled to the fence. Fatty was just starting out with his catch ers' glove. "Yow-w-w!" Tod yelled. "I must 'a sprained by wrist!" He dangled it in the air. "Pa'll jump on me for not spadin', too!" Fatty looked irresolute. "I s'pose I kin do a little before the boys git there," he said, heroically. He climb ed the fence and took the spade. "Right here I started," Tod direct ed, nursing his wrist. "Oh, gee!" Fatty had shoveled two swadefuls of earth when he suddenly went down on his knees. "What's the matter?" asked Tod from the back steps. "Nothin'," Fatty replied, bending over something he held in his hand. He made another wild grab into the dirt. Then he turned around with an excited face. "Say," he called. "You'd better go into the house and lie down. You can't tell about a sprain. Mebbe it's broke. You wanta be careful! Any how, I like to spade!" "All right," said Tod reluctantly. "Don't work too hard," he cautioned Fatty as he disappeared through the back door. Frequently during the morning he abandoned his hammock and wild west book and plate of fudge, which his sister thought she had hidden behind the top row of books, to look out upon Fatty Dyckman. That energetic young person was toiling furiously. Dirt streaked his perspiring face, and fre quently he paused and rubbed his ach ing back. Now and then he made a triumphant grab into the spaded earth. That evening the senior Mannows looked with surprise at the large amount of work accomplished in the garden. Nearly all of it was spaded. "You must have worked like a nailer!" he said to his son. "I didn't mean that you should kill yourself by spading it all in one day!" "Aw," said Tod indistinctly, as he slid out to join the boys. "That was lead easy!" I WHEN CUPID WAS OFF DUTY Lover's Bad Cold That Led to Most Unfortunate Misunderstand ing With Girl. Sweet was the lass, low was the gas; it was the evening she expected him to put across the big question. He did not look well. Something seemed to be troubling him. He tried to say something, but the words stuck in his throat, and the girl, noticing this, turned the gas even lower. Suddenly he turned to her and cried, "I'm a dub!" "No," she said, fondly. "You don't appreciate yourself as well as some others do, perhaps. Tee hee!" "Yes," he persisted stubbornly, "I'm a dub!" "No," she maintained. "Yeß," he almost shouted, "I'm a dub!" Sho was a sensible girl, and so, real izing that he ought to know best, she thanked him kindly for warning her in time and handed him his hat. It was only after the door slammed be hind him forever that sho realized the awful truth. He had contracted a nasty cold, and what he had been trying to say was, "I'm in love!" IT IS CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT THE SKIN AND HAIR Think of the suffering entailed by neglected skin troubles mental be cause of disfiguration, physical be- i cause of pain. Think of the pleasure of a clear skin, soft, white hands, and good hair. These blessings, so essen- j tial to happiness and even success in life, are often only a matter of a little i thoughtful care in the selection of ef- j fectivo remedial agents. Cuticura Soap and Ointment do so much for poor complexions, red, rough hands, and dry, thin and falilng hair, and cost BO little, that it is almost criminal not to use them. Although Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold everywhere, a postal to "Cuticura," Dept. 21 L, Bos ton, will secure a liberal sample of j each, with 32-page booklet on skin and scalp treatment.
