Sterling Remedy Co., Chicago or N.Y. 592 ANNUAL SALE, TEH KILLION BOXES Home-Mado Forge. A ‘set of blagcksmith’s tools saves may dollars on a farm, especially in busy seasons. “A good forge may be made as follows: Four legs are 2x2 inches and 21% feet long. Four boards (see No. 2 in cut) 12 inches wide and 21 feet long are nailed firmly around the top of legs. A bottom is nailed to the under sides. Fig. 3 are two pieces 2x2 inch stuff 5 feet long and fastened to the under side of box 10 inches apart. Two pieces (4) are 1x3 inches and. 3 feet long, the lower end bolted to 3, upper to 4. A pulley (6) is made of two thicknesses of boards, the edge being V-shaped for a rope to run the fan. The shaft to 6 is an old wringer shaft, 8 being the crank. A fan is shown at 7, 18 inches in diameter and 5 inches In width. The fan shaft is a round piece of hard wood 3 inches in diam- eter 10 inches long with 34-inch round iron bearing in the ends. The L blocks for these to run in are screwed to 3. Cut 7 inches of the fan shaft to a square to fasten the fans to; the 3 inch that is left is to cut a V in for a small rope that goes in the V of 6. After the rope is put on and spliced, it can tightened by raising the top of 4 where 5 is attached. A piece of iron pipe 114 inches in diameter is shown at 9, which is 23 feet long, with two 24 “inch holes drilled in the middle of the upper side. The end toward the fan is made a little bell- shaped. It is placed in the box through two holes the same size as the pipe. The box is filled solid with damp clay, leaving a basin shaped place in the centre, over the holes in the pipe, for the fire. Put a wood plug in the outer end of pipe. If any coals get in the pipe, take out the plug and blow out with the fan. In using, start the fan before putting the iron in the fire. Inside of fan should be smooth. Tin is nailed around the circle of the fan case. With this forge and an anvil many other tools can be made at home at a small cost.—Frank Guttenberg, Jr., In The Epitomist. be The Great American Hen. Rightfully does the fowl deserve the name “The Great American Hen,” for according to statistics the Ameri- can hen yields more money annually than any other one farm product, eliminating the grains and cotton. With eggs as low as a_cent apiece— a very cheap and nutritious food—a well bred hen laying 200 eggs a year as developed at the Maine station, will have a “value of $5. An esti- mate is made that $1 a year will keep her in comfortable if not luxurious quarters. The trouble is that mill- fons of barnyard scrubs do not yield 100 eggs a year. The farmer's hen is becoming a worthy companion to his cow. The annual production of eggs is now a score of billions, and, after supplying the needs of factories, tanneries, bak- eries and other trades, they are be- coming a substitute for high priced meats, besides entering more gener- ally into the everyday food of the people. . Some one has estimated that the industrious little gallus domesticus produces. enough eggs to- require a train of refrigerator cars 900 miles long filled with 43,000,000 crates each of which holds 360 eggs. If one wants to obtain eggs from his hens, . it is necessary to have healthy, vigorous stock, properly fed. To do their best hens should be fed grain, animal and green food. They should te fed enough to keep them in good condition, but not overfat, and should be induced to take plenty. of exercise. A good system to follow for winter feeding is mash once a day and grain scattered in the litter twice ‘a day. The mash may be fed dry or slightly moistened. When the former, it is usually put into a trough or hopper hung against the wall, and the fowls allowed to have access to it at all times. A mash fed at the Maine experi- ment station is as follows, in the pro- portion indicated: 200 ounds of wheat bran. 100 pounds cornmeal. 100 pounds wheat middlings. 100 pounds linseed meal. 100 pounds gluten meal. 100 pounds beef scrap. Another mash may be mixed as fol- Iows, in the proportions indicated: 100 pounds cornmeal. 100 pounds ground oats. 100 pounds wheat bran. Color of Eggs. The Department of Agriculture is often questioned as to the relative relation existing between the nutri- tion of eggs and thecolor of the shell. It seems tht some cities show a pref- erence to white shelled eggs, while others insist only upon having those with brown shells. Emglish dealers who import their egg stock from France go so far as to dip all white z shelled eggs in a weak coffee solution in order to satisfy the demand in London and other English cities for brown shelled eggs . A recent bulletin issued by the Department of Agriculture states: “There is no constant relation be- tween the color of the shell and the composition of the egg, although there is a popular belief in some lo- calities that the dark shelled eggs are ‘richer.’ That there are no differences in the physical prop- erties and chemical composition be- tween brown shelled and white shelled eggs was shown by investiga- tions carried on at the California and Michigan’ experiment stations, this work having been summarized in earlier publications of the depart- ment. “The color of the shell has, how- ever, an effect upon the market value, the brown shelled eggs bringing the higher price, for instance, in the Boston market, and the white shelled eggs in the New York market. In New England the preference is de- cidedly in favor of the tinted egg ‘One great advantage which all breeders producing tinted eggs pos- sess is that they are generally better winter layers than the varieties pro- ducing white shelled eggs, this being perhaps due to the fact that they are usually very good sitters and moth- ers, and so obtain a rest during the spring and summer months.” — Keeping a Few Bees. When keeping a few hives I have found, during late years, the follow- ing methods most successful: There is no better place to keep one or more swarms of bees than in the attic of a house, or loft of a barn or other outbuilding. I am keeping a few swarms in the loft of a barn in the centre of our city. I would recommend this method on a farm or in town. Other things being equal, a loca- tion in a house or loft of other build- ing, where heat from below will keep it dry and warm during coldest weather is best. My own bees are benefited by the fire kept during the coldest weather in the stable below. In such a location bees are less liable to be disturbed, and in their flight to and from their hives they are well above ground, where they might cause annoyance. I find also that when operating the hives to take surplus honey, and for all methods of manipulation such a location has many advantages. The bees also winter much better than when kept in more exposed locations. While 1 am an enthusiast in all that pertains to the mystery of the hives and honey bees, and find in them one of my chief forms of recreation, I feel that a correct system for the production of strictly wholesome milk is a mat- ter of most supreme importance. Let the land flow with milk and honey.— L. C. Root, Fairfield County, Conn., in The Cultivator. Farm Notes. A little sulphur in the salt will tend to drive the ticks from the flock. A farm home is best of all homes; but farm life without home life is dismal indeed. The lambs that are found to ba ticky must be dipped if you would keep them in health. Do not let sheep eat the pastures too closely, but when drouth comes assist With fodder, corn, etc. All the money is made from the good cows; ‘are you keeping the poor ones for their company? Some men not stingy with money grudge time spent on themselves or their family. Yet time is money. Pay for everything in dollars and | cents. The jingle of the departing hard-earned cash makes one pause and consider, but a store account is often taken up in a careless manner, A feeder asks if one shot for each steer is enough. I should prefer twc or three when steers are on full feed. When you have plenty of hogs there is nothing wasted, and you can clean out .he bunks once a day. Don’t throw the manure out of the side of -the stable and allow it to lay there until spring, every snow and rain washing out the most valuable part of it. Bed all stock freely, and get every forkful of manure out oz the fields as soon as possible. The man who breeds his farm ani, mals without any definite object ir view will never do much in improv ing his stock. Every year should bring a marked improvement, and every young animal raised on the farm should bear the breeder's stamp. Hustle is a good quality. "But if is not enough in itself. Some mer who seem always up to something new, and who do everything upon the run, never seem to accomplish much. If one must choose, judgment is bet- ter than enterprise and persistence is better than haste.—American Culti- vator.

There are several trades which provide men and women with good livings simply because they enjoy an exceptionally. keen sense of smell. Scentmalkers, for example, need some one with a very delicate sense of smell to aid them in mixing the in- gredients of perfumes in proper pro- portions. Queen Alexandra’s favorite perfume—violet—costs £10 per ounce bottle, and it has to run the gantlet of five professional ‘‘smellers’’ before it is passed as being correctly blended and ready for her Majesty's use. Some of the leading firms of per- fume makers pay their ‘“smellers” from £4 to £7 a week. Contractors for the lighting of streets, large pub- lic buildings. and .pleasure grounds very often engage ‘‘smellers” to find escapes of gas, one shilling being gen- erally paid for each escape reported. Some of these men frequently make over £3 in a single week, the result being that in many cases the fee has been reduced to 9d. per escape re- ported.—London World. i —————r————— Call Early For Good Ones.

Rockwood and Miss Tierney MISS MARGARET TIERNEY A large proportion of the operations performed in our hospitals are upon women and girls for some organic trouble. Why should this be the case ? Because they have neglected them- selves, as every one of these patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in those dragging sensations, pains at left or right of abdomen, backaches, nervous exhaustion, in- flammation, ulceration, displace- ments, and other organic weaknesses. All of these symptoms are indica- tions of an unhealthy condition of the female system and if not heeded the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation. When these symptoms manifest themselves, do not drag along until you are obliged to go to the hospital and submit to an opera- tion—but remember that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, hassaved hundreds of womea from surgical operatioas. Lydia E. Pinkham’'s Vegetable Compound: has cured more cases of feminine ills than any other one remedy. Such letters as thefollowing | MRS.CHAS. A.ROCKWOOD ate constantly” being received by Mrs. Pinkham to prove our claims. Mrs. C. A. Rockwood, teacher of Parliamentary Law, of 58 Free St., Fredonia, N. Y., writes: “For years I sutfered with female trouble. It was nd that an operation was neces- sary, and although I submitted to a serious operation my sufferings continued, until Lydia E. Pinkham's V. egetable Compound wasrecommended and it proved a marvelous remedy, so quickly did it restore my health. I cannot thank you sufficiently for the good it has done me. Miss Margaret Tierney, of No. 328 W. 25th Street, New York, writes: Dear Mrs, Pinkham: — “When only eighteen years of age our physician decided that an operation as necessary to permit of my womanly organ performing their natural functions. My mother objected and being urged by a relative to try Lydia E. Pinkham'’s Veget- able Compound did so. I soon improved in health, the proper conditions were establish- ed and I am well and strong, thanks to Lydia E. Pinkbam’s Vegetable Compound.” No other remedy has such un- qualified endorsement as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. No other remedy in the world has such a record of cures of female ills. Mrs. Pinkham’s Standing Invitation to Women Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. From the symptoms given, the trouble may be located and the quickest and surest way of recovery advised.

Leonard, of the Methodist Church, whose offices are at 1171 Broad- way, Suite 231, has invented a simple yet effective little ear drum resembling a min- 1ature megaphone. He had for over thirty years, as hosts of his acquaintances and friends know, a very complicated case of catarrhal deafness which speciabsts had failed to relieve, and vet so remarkably successful is his invention that one could scarcely believe him to be a deaf man. Mr. Leonard is now prepared to help those who are afilicted with deafness and will gladly give full information by mail. He has made the price so low that no deaf person can afford to allow this opportunity to pass. . Leonard. a son of The Chump Family.
