A TRAINED NURSE
v
After Years of Experience, Advises Women In
Regard to Their Health.
Mrs. Mactha Pohlman
of 66 Chester Avenue,
Newark, N. J., who is a,
graduate Kurae from the
Blockley Training School,
at Philadelphia, and for
alz yeara Chief Clinio
Nurse at the Philadelphia
Hospital, writes the letter
printed below, She haa
the advantage of personal
experience, besides her
professional education,
and what she haa to nay
may be absolutely relied
upon.
Many other women are
afflicted as she was. They
eaa regain health in. the
aame way. It is prudent
to heed such advice from
such a source,
lira. Pohlman writes:
" I am firmly paraniided,
after eight years of x)xrence
with Lydia E. Pinkbara's
Vegetable Compound, that it
la the safest and best medicine
for any suffering woman to
use."
" Immediately after my
marriage I found that my
health began to fail me. I be
came wade and pale, with
severe brarinK-down pains,
' fearful brv-'kaehos and fre
quent dizzy spells. The doctors
prescribed for me, yet I did
not improve. I would bloat
after eating, and frequently
become nauseated. I had
pains down through my limbs so I could
hardly walk. It was ns bad a case of female
trouble as I have ever known. Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, however,
cured me within four months. Since that
time I have had occasion to recommend it to
a numbar of patients suffering from ail
forms of female difficulties, and I And that
Mrhile it is considered unprofessional to rec
ommend a patent medicine, I can honestly
recommend I.ydia E. Pinknam's Vegetable
Compound, for I he.ve found that it cures
female ills, where nil other medicine falls. It
Is a grand medicine for sick women."
Money cannot buy such testimony as
this merit alone can produce such re-
culta, and the ablest specialists now
ajrree that Lydia 15. Pinknam's Vege
tublo Compound is the most univer
sally successful remedy for all female
diseases known to medicine.
When women are troubled with ir
regular, suppressed or painful periods,

Preparing Corn Land.
' The following is a plan which we
have found to put most lund in ex
cellent condition: We use only two
tools a disk harrow and a plank drag.
The disk is set to cut about its full
depth, and the furrows are lapped, so
that the land will be left level. We
disk twice, trying, as far 0.3 practica
ble on. our hilly lands, to run the sec
ond time at right angles to the course
followed the first time. We then finish
up with the drag, which leaves the
land smooth and in fine shape for
drilling. By this plan most of the
stalks will be thrown out of th earth
by the disk, and the drag will break
down any that are left. The most seri
ous objection to the disk is that It
leaves a sort of gutter around each
cornshock, which the drag will not al
ways fill up. To obviate this and
the turning around the shocks, some
farmers bring the corn from sixteen
rows on each side to make a row of
shocks. The shocks are thus neces
sarily made very close together in the
row, and the row is left until the corn
Is hauled off, when twice through with
the drill will seed this strip. The ex
tra labor in the corn-cutting, however,
seems to me to more than make up for
that saved in preparing and seeding the
land. A sprlngtooth harrow might be
made to answer instead of a disk on
corn land; hut we have found drag
harrows very unsatisfactory, as they
will be continually dragging up tho
cornstalks and othe rtrash. The plank
drag is, I think, far preferable to the
roller for use on such land, as it
smooths down and fills up any ridges
and depressions much better than any
roller could. Country Gentleman.
Keeping the Weight.
Not unusually do animals weigh
less in the spring thiin they do the
fall before, when they were turned Into
winter qmirters. The dry, bulky food
given with rut grain fails to maintain
the weight of the animal. Usually sud
den thames are made in (he fall from
grass to fodder. The animals will not
take kindly to such sudden changes,
hence a failure to eat results in a
shrinkage In their weight that is very
hard to regain with bulky winter
Lfoods.
Corn fodder alone.'Vhether shredded
or not, does nut maintain the weight
of an nitimal in good flesh. While it
is a forage worth saving, it docs not
fully answer. Sheep will lose 'when
given fodder alone. Wheat or rye
Btraw will carry tattle through the
winter, but their live weight is greatly
diminished, especially where they are
In good flesh when turned on straw.
Timothy hay does not maintain the
weight. Even where the best of clover
hay Is used for roughage, grain is need
ed to make the animal grow.
If a profit is to be realized in win
ter feeding, the animals must increase
and not decrease in weight. A gradual
change from grass to drj; forage will
prevent the first shrinkage in live
weight. The feed should consist of at
least a small amount of grain, even
with the best forage. Then do not give
fodder as the only bulky food. Glvo
all the variety possible. An occasional
feed of clover hay, sorghum forage,
cowpea hay or timothy hay along with
the corn fodder will not only sharpen
the appetite of the animals, but will
cause them to clean up their, fodder
better than where they are compelled
to live on the corn fodder alone. W.
B. Anderson, in the Indianapolis News.
Feeding a Horse.
We go to France for good horses, and
following is something from the Petit
Journul Agricole of France, on how
to feed good horses. Three meals are
necessary and sufficient, with an Inter-,
val of four or five hours between, to
keep a horse in good condition. Oats
take at least two hours to digest, hay
takes three hours, and because It take3
so long to digest It should be given
when the day's work is over. The
evening meal should be a full meal, the
animal being then at rest and able to
digest its food at leisure. There should
be an interval of half an hour be
tween the return of the horse to tho
itable and his getting his evening
meal.
Too much food at a meal or too long
abstinence between meals, followed by
voracious feedings, is conducive to
colic, and indigestion. Irregularly fed,
be Is given to showing his impatience
by letting his hoofs play about the
woodwork of his stall. Giving "refresh
ers" at odd times is also bad. Remem
ber that both stomach and bladder
should never be loaded in work time,
whether llgnt or heavy work is dope. A
horse, therefore, should not be ridden
or driven immediately after a meal,
on the same principle that It oueht not
to be fed sooner than half an hour af
ter work Is over. Between one end
of the year and another a horse con
sumes an amount of dry heating food
which calls for a special regimen to
neutralize the excessive proteid con
sumption that has taken place. Thus
in autumn a ration of carrots given be
fore the evening meal of oats is good,
and so in spring, at the fail of the win
ter coat, a little green meat Is bene
ficial, mixed with hay and oats, for the
evening meal. Another maxim, much
disregarded in practice is that the
horse should be watered long before
being put to work, and then verv spar
ingly. American Cultivator.

The Making of Prize Cattle.
The university cattle which won
third prize at the fat stock show In
Pittsburg In competition with, the
world, were the last cf six carloads
purchased three years ago for the pur
pose of determining the influence ol
age upon the cost of beef production
which the experiment station la con
ducting in co-operation with the Fed
eral Department of Agriculture.
One-tbird of the original bunch of
cattle was finished as yearlings, and
topped the Chicago market for the
year. The second third waa finished
as two-year-olds, and also topped the
Chicago market for the year. The third
portion of these cattle won third place,
as stated above, and topped the Pitts
burg market for heavy cattle, bring
ing per hundred, the next besl
load of heavy cattle bring $0.50.
They were high-grade Herefords,
purchased In the neighborhood of Co
lumbia. In the meantime the experiment sta
tion has in the same experiment ma
tured one bunch of yearlings Angui
and a bunch of yearling Shorthorna
They now have on feed 90 Shorthorns,
with a view to covering tho same
ground, with a different breed.
In addition to the test of the Influ
ence of age upon the rate of cost ol
gain, these cattle were divided into lots
of eight each and fed different grain ra
tions on iasture, one group receiving
shelled corn alone, another one-fourth
cottonseed meal and three-fourths
shelled corn, nnother one-fourth lin
seed meal and three-fourths shelled
corn, another one-fourth gluten meal
and three-fourths shelled corn, all
having access to equally good grass.
In the case of the yearlings and two-year-olds
a more rapid gain, and as a
rule a cheaper gain, was made on the
mixed feeds than on corn alone. It Is
also true that in every case the young
er cattle receiving mixed feeds became
latler, carried a better bloom, and were
from every point of view more mar
ketable. In tho case ,of tho thvee-year-old or
the mature cattle, however, the differ
ence in the rale and economy of gain
between straight corn and mixed feeds
was almost inappreciable, and there
was not a marked difference in the fat
ness of the different groups. H. J.

College, In Home and Farm.
Facts Ahout Ashes.
The use of wood ashes for fertilizing
purposes Is among the oldest of ration
al agricultural practices. The disap
pearance of forests and the substitu
tion of coal as fuel have reduced the
commercial importance of ashes to
comparative insignificance. Notwith
standing these recognized facts, there
Is hardly a subject related to the fer
tilizing of crops so surrounded by er
ror as the often accepted belief In the
superiority of ashei over all substi
tutes. The real value of ashes Is eo
great that harm only can come from
the exaggerated and erroneous concep
tions of these persistent advocates.
They are found umong farmers and
specialists in many sections, as wide
ly separated in surroundsing and
practice as at the nursery
men of . New York and the
pineapple growers of Florida. These
two classes of acriculturists are
among the most intelligent of all crop
producers, yet I recall one of the for
mer who took great pains to collect
thousands of bushels of ashes, which
he used on the supposition that they
contained at least 5 percent of actual
potash, only to learn, after they had
been applied to hl's trees that they reul
ly contained about one-half of 1 per
cent. One of the latter class of con
sumers applied many tons to his plan
tation, under the Irapressioti that he
was using 40 percent of potash,
through a misinterpretation of a com
plicated analysis, later to learn that
his expensive alleged hardwood ashes
contained about 3 percent of the ma
terial for which they were purchased.
There must be some reason beside In
cidental ignorance for the practice of
these men. The belief in ashes is
founded on real value. The error re
sults from a misunderstanding of facts.
There seem to be two errors in be
lief, which are chiefly responsible for
common mistakes In the use of ashes.
First, is the supposition that the pot
ash in ashes is in better form than
that from other sources; second, that
the constituents of ashe3, having al
ready existed in plants, possess some
direct and special adaptation to the
requirements of plants.
The fact8'are, that the benefits from
the use of ashes, and they are great,
are due in only a comparatively small
degree to the potash they contain. The
amount of this constituent is usually
small, and may bo secured more eco
nomically from other sources. Home

THE SAILOR'S TRUNK.
A Round Canvas Bag Four Feet Long
and the Same the World Over.
"The sailor's trunk," sold an old
salt, "is a canvas bug cylindrical In
form and about four feet long and
eighteen inches In diameter, and
when he's got -thnt bag packed with
his stuff the whole outfit, bag and all,
constitutes his kit. He couldn't enr
ry a resular trunk even- if ho wanted
to, for there would be no place for it
in a ship's forecastle. But a dun
nage bag takeB up only so much
room as the stuff inside of it takes
up that Is to say, If It's only half
full you can fold it down to half its
space, and then if the bag is full you
can press It, and you enn bend and
twist It, you can make good stowage
with it In the place where It has to
go, and so you can get It, with as
much stuff in It as a trunk would
hold, into a space where you couldn't
get a trunk at all.
"And then this bag is a mighty
sight handier to carry than a trunk
would be when the sailor man goes
ashore, or when he goes from his
boarding house to a vessel when he
ships for a new voyaeo. He can just
pick that bag up and sling it over
his shoulder, and It's flexible enough
to lit there easily, and Bag down a
little forward and aft, making it
easy to carry.
"In the days when deep sea sailing
ships were commonly used, before
the day of steam kettles, in the old
days when the jlbbooms of ships
along the waterfront used to stick
out across the street In long rows for
block after block, you could see a
ship captain walking down South
street with a dozen men trailing after
him, his new crew, each man with
his canvas trunk, or dunnage has,
his kit, on his shoulder, making for a
vessel lying at a wharf, or for a tug
to take the men to some vessel lying
out In the stream ready to sail.
"You can't see such processions
much nowadays, for the day. of the
square rlgser is more and more wan
ing, but still you can even now occa
sionally meet a man walking along
South street with his dunnage bag
over his shoulder. There are still
some ships, and the sailor man hasn't
quite gone out ret.
"You can buy dunnage bags In nny
of the sailors' outfitting stores, and
you can also buy them second-hand,
just as you can anything else In the
world that I know of. And then some
sailors make their own dunnage
bags, many sailors being mighty
handy with tho needle, and every
sailor carrying In his has a house
wife, with noodles and thrend and
buttons and such things, just as
every soldier everywhere carries one
in li i 3 knapsack.
"If the sailor mnn makes this bag
nt sea he nets tho material for It of
new canvas from tho ship's canvas
supplies In chai'20 of the sailmiiker,
or maybe the captain Kives him for it
n piece out of an old wornout sky
siill one that perhaps the sailor has
more than once furled himself the
canvas from the bigger lower sails
being too heavy for It.
"The ban Is 'mado with a shirring
string at the open end, by which It
can be closed there. Sometimes If
his bag Is packed so plumb full that
he can't close the end tho sailor
puts over his stuff, on top. a ennvas
disk for a stopper, nnd then draws
the shirring string on that.
"Sometimes the sailor carries his
dunnage bng always just ns It was
made, in the plain canvas, and then
sometimes he pnints it to make it
waterproof. And sometimes they or
nament 'em.
"A common way of doing this is to
paint on the butt or closed end of
the bag a star, maybe a double star,
one Inside of the other and In differ
ent colors, the Inner star In a ring,
and outside the ring the rays of nn
other star, running round like the
points of a compass. Sometimes they
paint pictures on them, maybo pic
tures of ships.
"A sailor might paint on his dun
page has a picture of his favorite
ship, just as ho micht have such a
picture tattooed on himself. Or if
ho couldn't do it himself, and he
wanted such a picture, he mlrrht find
somebody in the forecastle who could
do it for him, and paint a very pretty
shin, too: how he came by his art no
body knows.
' "But whatever they tnav do about
such details as these, the sailors of
whatever country use a dunnnse bag
in which to carry their personal be
longings. The world over, In the
ships of every nation, a dunnage bag
serves as the sailor's trunk." New

Starlings on Long Island.
Two men were waiting for a train
at Borough Park. "See those birds
over there?" asked one.
"Yes. What of them? Whnt sort of
birds are they?"
"Well, I should say they were black
birds, the same that are baked in a
pie and mado a dainty dish to set be
fore the king."
"Wrong," replied his companion.
"Guess again." The second man gave
It up. Just then the birds flow up
and away.
"Look!" said the first man. "Ob
serve their short,, forked tails. They
are starlings."
"Starlings on Long Island?"
"Yes. A few years ago somebody
brought over a lot of starlings from
England nnd let them loose hereabouts,
They have flourished and multiplied
and now you can frequently see them
In this neighborhood. They are the
result of one of the few experiments
at the acclimatization of England birds
Dn Long Island which have succeeded."

the agent of an automatic block signal

The old lumberman examined the
device attentively and seemed much
Interested.
"Your chief engineer recommends It

to use his name with you, and be
would see you later."
"Wall," said the lumberman, "I
