Are great sufferers and they deserve sym:
pathy rather than censure. Their blood
is poor and thin and their nerves are con-
sequently weak. Such people find reliet
and cure in Hood’s Sarsaparilla because it
. purifies and enriches the blood and gives
it power to feed, strengthen and sustain
the nerves. If you are nervous and can-

* STORIES OF RELIEF.
Two Lotters to Mrs. Pinkham.
Mrs. Joux WiLrLiayms, Englishtown,
N. J., writes:
““ DEAR Mns. PINknAM:—T cannot be-
gin to tcll you how I suffered before
talking your remedies. I was so weak
that I could hardly walk across the floor
without falling. I had womb trouble
and such a bearing-down feeling ; also
suffered with my back and limbs, pain
In womb, inflammation of the bladder,
piles and indigestion. Before I had
taken one bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound I felt a great deal
better, and after taking two and one-
half bottles and half a box of your
Liver Pills I was cured. If more would
take your medicine they would pot
have to suffer so much.”
Mrs. JoseErn PETERSON, 513 East St.,
Warren, Pa., writes:
“DEAR MRs. PINKHAM:—1 have suf-
fered with womb trouble over fifteen
years. I had inflammation, enlarge-
ment and displacement of the womb.
I had the backache constantly, also
headache. and was so dizzy. I had
heart trouble, it seemed as though my
heart was in my throat at times chok-
ing me. I could not walk around and
I could notlie down, for then my heart
svould beat so fast I would feel as
though I was smothering. I had to
sit up in bed nights in order to breathe.
I was so weak I conld not do any-
thing.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
When to Thresh Grain.
Thresh small grains as soon as pos-
sible after harvest. The crop is never
secure in the stack, and the sooner it
is in the granary or the elevator the
better. No matter how well a stack is
made a driving storm will wet it.
VV
Old Potatoes and New.
For some time after new potatoes |
come into market the well-preserved
old potatoes are best, and are pre-
ferred by the careful housewife, who
cares as much for nutritive value as
for taste. In the old days, when
some potato grated fine was always
mixed with the rising bread, house- |
wives found that the young potatoes
with very little starch were not so
good for
grown the previous year.
Plant Strawberries Early.
So soon as the strawberry runners
have fairly rooted it is best to take
them up and set them in new beds |
rather than wait until the plants have |
attained large size. The smaller
plant has much less snrface exposed
to evaporation, and it wil
well rooted more quickly than will
those set late: iu the season. If the
runners are cut as fast as they are

buds for fruit in the
provided for the year before it is to
bear, and no amount of spring culti-
vation can increase them.
All the
Care for Yellow Clover.
Just after the wheat harvest the
young clover plants, which up to that
time have been protected by the wheat,
are apt to suffer from the sun unless
the stubble is left high. After the
clover plant hardens it should be
clipped, which will force outa branch-
ing growth near the ground, afford- |
ing, with the wheat stubble, a sharp
sickle or grass hook, and may be: c-
complished at small expense. The
first clipping should be done about a
month after the wheat is harvested,
and if the ground is weedy or the
drought prolonged a second clipping
may be done early in September.
Close attention must be paid to weeds.
None should be allowed to go
seed to ruin an otherwise fair crop of
clover.
Root-Grafted Apple Trees,
Most of the apple trees from nur-
series are root grafted. It is so much
more convenient to do this the first
season than later that nine-tenths of
the apple trees for sale are grafted
then and allowed to root from the
graft, as is certain to do when trans-
planted.
uniformity trees

method than if each seedling were al- |
lowed to grow as it would and then
be top grafted when high enough to
form a head.
that when a tree is top grafted it will
come in bearing sooner than one
grafted on a little piece of root and
allowed to make the whole stock from
the ground up. It is probable that
the root-grafted trees are given better
cultivation than those top-grafted, the
latter being usually stray seedlings in
out-of-the-way places, and therefore
getting very little cultivation.
Raise Detter Cows,
The test of milk should not be con-
fined to one’s idea of its richness
judging from its appearance, for there
is no sure test but that made with the |
perfected tester. If dairymen will
use such they will be surprised to |
learn that some of their best milkers |
are giving a supply very deficient in
richness. The sooner this class
cows are disposed of the sooner the
dairy will be on a paying basis. If
these unprofitable cows cannot be dis-
posed of in any other way, turn them
into beef, and if possible raise the
herd from the stock which meet the
test as to richuess of milk. If sev-
eral of them meet the test fairly and
continuously under a moderate ex-
pense for food. they will form the
The
other animals should be turned off
quickly. Even if two of them have
to be given for one
come up to the test it will be a pay-
ing trade. :
Bees and Fruit.
The fruit grower does not appreciate
the value of a colony of bees as a rule,
but on the other hand is inclined to
look upon them as a detriment. It is
a well known fact that bees seldom if
ever disturb fruit that has not pre-
viously Deen injured by birds or in-
sects, while the value of the bees as
pollen distributors -is well know.
Among orchard fruits especially bees
are of great value, as has heen proved
by many fruit growers, who, until the
advent of the bees, had been unable
to obtain full crops or large fruit ow-
ing to the imperfect fertilization of
the,blossoms by other means. In the
peach orchard, where the pollen is
scant and many of the blossoms ob-
tain little or none through the agency
of wind or imseets, the bees will prac-
tically solve the question of falling
fruit, which is mainly due to lack of
vitality from the imperfect fertiliza-
tion of the blossoms. It will be neces-
sary to avoid the use of the spray
when the trees are in bloom in locali-
ties where bees are kept.
Cabbage Culture.
Cabbage is a very profitable vegeta-
ble to grow both for home use and
for marketing purposes. With proper
care in storing it is possible to have
it the greatest part of the year.
Market gardeners desiring an early
crop sow the seed very early in cold
frames, hence Lave the plants ready

to set out at any time when the
weather and the condition of the
ground will permit. But to grow for
home use, early planting not being so
essential, the seed may be sown later
in open beds. Another way of secur-
ing an early crop is to select some of
the earliest vavieties. Nearly all of
these produce much smaller heads
than the late varieties, yet for an
early supply, either for home use or
the market, they answer very well.
For this purpose the early Jersey,
Wakefield or the early Winningstadt
are good varieties. These yield fair-
sized heads, and ave at most only a
week or so later than the earlier
sorts. Have the soil rich and fine on
which to sow the seed whether in cold
frames or open beds, and wherever
the plants should not be kept too
warm. This is likely to cause too
rapid growth, which makes tall and
weakly plants. The ground on which
the crop is to be grown should be
made rich by the application of man-
ure. Cabbage plants are gross feed-
ers and can consume considerable
manure without injury. If the manure
is not applied the fall previous it
should be well rotted when applied in
the spring and then worked well into
the soil. As a matter of course the
| soil should be deeply broken and well
pulverized. For early cabbage the
{ rows may be marked off about 30
inches apart; for larger varieties a
little wider, and the plants 18 inches
| apart in the row. To give the plants
| an early start, work into the soil
about them about a gill of commercial
| fertilizer. When setting, if the soil
is not fairly damp some water should
be used about the plants. Set the
| plants down quite to the leaves
| and press the soil wellabout the roots.
i.then a little loose dirt over this. This
prevents evaporation and tl:e plant
from scalding. The cultivation should
begin early, be frequent and thorough,
| to obtain rapid and large growth.
| Stir the soil at first close about the
plants ; as they grow larger, cultivate
shallow, just to break the crust and to
{ keep down the weeds.
As to insects and worms, which are
| so destructive among cabbage, and
which are so difficult to successfully
combat, we can only recommend con-
stant vigilance and the use of the
| best known means for destroying
| them, among which slug-shot is rec-
ommended. —Agricultural Epitome.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Hogs at pasture need water to
drink. See that they have that that
is pure and fresh.
The hen likes a change of diet, and,
with some grain, will eat all kinds of
insects they discover in the soil or
about the trees.
When the milch cow is growing fat
| she is not being fed right to produce
| the largest yield of milk, or she is not
| the right breed for the dairy.
|
|
|
{
The feed of chickens and turkeys
| should be hidden in straw, or thrown
| among the grass in summer, to induce
| the hunting for it, and that for water-
fowl is best put into water.
A cow will give about so much milk
in a year, no matter what time she
comes in, and she should be bred so
| as to produce milk during the whole
of the season of best prices.
| If the soil around the fruit trees is
| kept lose and an oceasional handful
of grain is thrown in and covered, the
fowls will spend much of their time
| seratching and will effectually prevent
| the borer from depositing its eggs.
| The seeding of peas and other legn-
| minous crops, clover, ete., should re-
| ceive more attention as they supply
the most expensive part of the fertil-
| izer, nitrogen, then potash and phos-
phoric acid should be used in connec-
tion to make a complete fertilizer.
The use'of woodashes on the straw-
berry plantation gives the fruit that
bright, glossy appearance so much de-
sired and prevents the dark appear-
ance so much like staleness to the eye
of the customer, which comes on ber-
ries that have been picked for some
hours. ;
In its natural condition all classes
| of poultry were compelled to take
considerable exercise in order to ob-
tain food. This should be remem-
bered in caring for domestic poultry,
and feed should be given in such a
| manner that it cannot be gobbled
{ down without some effort to get it.
When eigh'een inches high nip off
| the ends of the canes of blackberries
| and black raspberries. This will cause
new laterals to grow, and these should
be trimmed in the spring ulso. By this
{ means the Leaving surface is increased
and the bush is kept low and strong.
Washing Their Loose Change,
The writer happened to mention re-
cently to the manager of a well-known
city bank that a certain gentleman
who died lately,after making a fortune
as a newspaper proprietor, always had
| the loose gold, silver and copper in his
| possession washed before putting it in
his pocket.
The record of a singular fact was
the result, for, said the bank man-
ager: ‘‘I could not only name a con-
siderable number of people who do
this, but some eminent ones—one of
the richest and most benevolent ladies
in this country, as an instance. The
coins paid away by a notoriously fru-
gal actor-manager always have a high
polish, for he has soap, soda and hot
water daily applied to all the loose
money he draws from the treasurer of
his theatre, and all manner of comical
stories are told of the brightness of
his very small payments. :
‘“Then, again, a noble Scotch duke
has little bags of coin already washed
and scoured, put aside for daily use.
and a number of old city'men I come
| into personal contact with seldom have
an unwashed coin in their pockets.
Some of them are men eccentric in
other ways, but by no nieans all.”’—

STATISTICS AS TO DUELING.
Code Is Most Popular in Germany,
with France Next,
More duels are fought in Germany
than in any other country. Most of
them are student duels, which culmi-
nate In nothing more serious than
glashed cheeks or torn scalps, which
look extremely ugly when healed and
often cause much trouble to the suf-
ferer while healing. Of all German
university towns Jena and Gottingen
are most devoted to the code. In Got-
tingen the number of duels averages
one a day, year in and year out. With-
in the space of four-and-twenty consec-
utive hours, several years ago, twelve
duels were fought in Gottingen. In
Jena the record for one day in recent
times is twenty-one. Fully 4,000 stu-
dent duels are fought every year in the
German empire. In addition to these.
there are the more serious duels be-
tween officers and civilians. Among
Germans of mature years the annual
number of duels is about 100.
Next to Germany France is most
given to the dueling habit. She has
every year hundreds of meetings ‘to
satisfy honor'’—that is, merely to give
two men the opportunity to wipe out
insults by crossing swords or firing pis-
tols in such a way as to preclude the
slightest chance of injury. In the duel
statistics these meetings are not reck-
oned, as they are far less perilous than
even the German student duels. Of
the serious duels France can boast
fully 1,000 per annum. The majority
of these are among army officers. More
than half of them result in wounds
and nearly 20 per cent. in serious
wounds.
Italy has had 2,759 duels in the last
ten years. Some 2,400 of these meet-
Ings were fought with swords, 179 with
pistols, ninety with rapiers and one
with revolvers. In 974 cases the insult
originated in newspaper articles or in
public letters and scores were purely
literary quarrels. More than 700 prin-
cipals were insulted by word of mouth,
Political discussions led to 559 and re-
liglous discussions to twenty-nine
meetings. Quarrels at the gaming
table were responsible for 189.
A summary shows that as regards
numbers the sequence of dueling coun-
tries is: Germany, France, Italy, Aus
tria and Russia.—London Mail.
