PERIODS OF PAIN.
Menstruation, the balance wheel of
woman's life, is also the bane of exist
ence to many because it means a time of
great suffering'.
While no woman is entirely.free from
periodical pain, it docs not seem to have
IS
ence. It relieves the condition that pro
duces so much discomfort and robs men
struation of its terrors. Here is proof:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—How can I
thank you enough for what you have
done for me ? When I wrote to you I
was suffering untold pain at time of
menstruation; was nervous, had head
ache all the time, no appetite, that tired
feeling, and did not care for anything.
I have taken three bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, one
of Blood Purifier, two boxes of Liver
Pills, and to-day lam a well person. I
would like to have those who suffer
know that I am one of the many who
have been cured of female complaints
by your wonderful medicine and advice.

If you are suffering in this way, write
as Miss Miles did to Mrs. Pinkham at

A Fortune From a Scare.
An inventive genius who suffered
from attacks by stray dogs when riding
his wheel, set his wits to work to devise
something which would be au effica
cious, and yet comparatively harmless,
means of defense. As a result he has
brought out and patented a pocket
pistol which will shoot ammonia,
water or other liquid. The most vic
ious dog cannot withstand a few drops
of ammonia in his mouth or eyes, and
yet there is no danger of actually in
juring a valuable animal which might
playfully annoy a rider. The weapon
has proved so much of a success as a
means of defense as well as fun-mak
ing, that the lucky iuventor is realizing
much money from his device.
Military .lustice.
Old Judge Dole, au early settler of
Pike, In the county of Wyoming, Now
York, was a military man in his early
days, having, to quote his own words,
"lit the Britishers" in the war of 1812.
And be carried his habits of military
discipline into the management of bis
farm.
One hot summer day his hired men,
five or six in number, decided to take a
nap after their luncheon of doughnuts
and pie. iustedd of setting to work
hgaln at haymaking. They selected one
of their number to act as sentinel ana
keep watch for the old judge, and the
rest of them stretched themselves at
full length In the shade of a big tree.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, the
sentinel also yielded to the desire for
slumber, and at tho end of ten minutes
was last asleep at his post.
Just five minutes later the Judge ap
peared, to see how the work was go
ing on, and he saw at once the state
of affairs. From the sentinel's posi
tion the Judge knew what duty the
man had been expected to perform, am'
without waiting for any explanat'on,
he proceeded to administer a sound
drubbing with his stick.
When he had sufficiently admonished
the sentinel, the old Judge let him go
saying, "There, I guess that'll learn
you not to sleep on your postl" Aud
without taking the least notice of the
other sleepers, tho disciplinarian
marched off. perfectly satisfied.
Economy In Housekeeping.
In good housekoplug, as in nature,
nothing need be wasted. One might
suppose that an old chair had a legiti
mate ending when the scat was quite
gone and the four legs falling apart
Ye<t see—the four legs will support a
square board, and when the whole is
stained and varnished there is a most
useful little table for the porcli, or,
painted white, it may become a stand
to keep close by the sewing chair and
hold the work basket A second table
may be evolved by using the longest
spokes of the chair back as legs, only in
this case the shape of the table's top
had best be triangular and for It three
legs will be sufficient. This will make
a very small table, and need not be
stained or pointed if a bright cover 19
thrown over it; but its most convenient
use will be to hold a light tea kettle at
4 o'clock. AU these handicraft trifles
should be handed over to our amateur
carpenters—boys and girls—for it is the
right of every family of children to pos
sess a tool chest and a work bench set
In the garret. A tool chest is an excel

Commercial Fertilizers Improved*
Fertilizers, during tho past year
have been lower in price than ever be
fore, and the indications are that they
will bo even cheaper during the pres
ent year. The result of the cheapen
ing of the chemical constituents has
been to raise the quality of the mixed
fertilizers somewhat above the mini
mum guarantee, aud consequently
there are very few samples showing
deficils in their composition. Out of
*l4B separate guarantees only twenty
eight failed to either exceed the re
quirements or eoine within tho limits
of error in sampling and analyzing.—

Neglect in protecting planted-out

Use no natural fertilizers until they

epidemic disease, had been buried
years aud years before.
Two Ways of Fanning.
By looking carefully over a rural
commuuity we see that not all farmers
and their families are abridged in
needed leisure and time for social
pleasure. This is because there are
two agricultural classes living side by
side. One represents the man who
drives his work, has little to complain
of,and tho other, one who lets his work
drive him and who is always bitterly
complaining. The farmer who does
not "get along" belongs to the latter
class. Ho makes many unnecessary
trips to town, aud golden hours Hit
by while he lounges. He does not
start to hoe his corn or potatoes until
the weeds are choking them, and the
grass in his meadow is past prime be
fore it is cut. His work is proverbially
ten days behindhand from seeding
time till harvest, and his crops suffer
in consequence. This man takes liis
leisure at the wrong time, right at
critical periods in the cultivation and
harvesting of his crops.
His more wise and consequently
more successful brother pursues an
opposite course. He meets half way
nature's efforts to help him, aud keeps
his work well in hand and under his
control. The care of his stock aud
crops always receives first considera
tion, because they represent his living
—his bank account. While his negli
gent brother is making those unneces
sary and prolonged visits to town, lie
is improving the golden moments by
a brisk, industrious and alert policy,
which will keep tho cultivation of liis
farm so thoroughly in hand that he
will have, besides plenty of leisure
for sufficient social enjoyment with
his family and friends, time pro
vided his hours or days of leisure
are chosen at the right time.—Ohio
Farmer.
Fighting tho Scales.
It is estimated that the scales do an
enormous damage to the trees aud
crops of this country, and while the
San Jose scale seems to attract some
attention it is not by any means the
only injurious insect of this class.
There are probably a dozen]very active
and pernicious scales found in the
orchards of this country. All of them
do more or less damage, and the ques
tion of destroying them is annually be
coming a more important one. The
Department of Agriculture has made
special inquiries and investigations
into the subject of checking their rav
ages, and siuce the German authori
ties made such a disturbance about not
admitting our apples because of the
scales on them the subject has as
sumed even more prominence during
the present seasou.
Some interesting experiments have
been made to destroy the scales, and
we are likely to reap some benefit
from them. Whale-oil soap has been
said to destroy them, but it must be
admitted now that this merely checks
the scales and does not destroy them.
Moreover, it takes nearly as much
whale oil to check the scales as the
crop of fruit is worth. In one orchard
in Maryland it took SOOO worth of
whale-oil soap to hold the San Jose
scale in check.
The real remedy promised is found
in hydrocyanic gas, a gas that is so
searching aud penetrating that when
applied to the trees hardly a scale es
capes. It is death to every form of
life, aud not expensive. The method
of application is to place tents or cov
erings, double oiled, over the trees,
and then liberate the gas under them.
The results so far are very encourag
ing, for nearly every scale was killed
on tho trees so treated.—W. E.
Farmer, in Wisconsin Agriculturist.
Preserving Eggs For Winter Prices.
Some one lias said tliefanoior has no
right to preserve eggs at any season;
that it is his business to provide strictly
fresh eggs the year round. Neverthe
less, a great many fanciers, as well as
a great many farmers, do preserve eggs
every season, for with the coming of
every winter there is a scarcity of eggs
and a correspondingly high price. If
well preserved they arc fit for all pur
poses. The markets are Hooded every
summer with six and eight cent eggs,
for there are many who must and will
sell them atauvprice. But preferring
to receive for the surplus of sunnier
aud early fall eggs twenty to twenty
live cents per dozen, I preserve them
and find that it pays.
The recipe given below is very good
for preserving eggs, although it takes
considerable work to prepare it. Into
twenty-four gallons of boiling water
put twelve pounds of unslaeked lime
aud four pounds of barrel salt. Stir
frequently for oue day. The next day
dip off the clear liquid and put it into
stoue jars. Dissolve the following in
gredients in one gallon of boiling water
and add to the above liquid: Fivo
ounces conimoii baking soda, five
ounces cream of tartar, five ounces
saltpeter, five ounces borax aud one
ounce alum. Drop the eggs into this
brine every day, as gathered. Eggs
greased with fresh lard and put dowu
in salt keep well. Use cracker boxes,
or others of about that size, as these
are light euough to be easily handled.
Turn the box half over two or three
times a week. Were I a village house
wife I am very sure that a goodly sup
ply of eggs, for culinary purposes at
least, would be preserved when they
are but six, eight or ten cents per
dozen. I should not buy them at the
grocery, but would engage my supply
of some reliable farmer's wife, who
would guarantee me strictly fresh
eggs. Many are glad of the opportu
nity to furnish them for the money in
hand, rather than bo always obliged
to take exchange at the store.—Nellie
Hawks, in American Agriculturist.
C;iro of Young Live Stock.
There is uot euough thought given
to young things 011 the farm. It is
considered that they should grow
without care. In too many cases, the
weanlings are almost as wild as though
they were not included among domes
tic uuiuials. In the case of pigs,
lambs and calves, it is advisable that
they should be given a little meal or
small grain such as oats, rye aud corn
mixed, as soon as they wiil tako it.
It is surprising to note the avidity of
pigs with sweet pure slops made from
meal and shipped stuffs, aud the ii
depondence acquired by the time their
mother discards them is highly grati
fying. By a gradual increase of the
ration of grain or ground food, the
youngsters are weaned without any
reverses in their progress of growth.
The feediug process requires familiar
ity with humanity and relieves the
young creatures of any fear. The ad
vantages of gentleness among the do
mestic animals are too many to be
enumerated. Providing a well bal
anced ration is also highly desirable.
The framework of meat producing
stock aud the organs of digestiou and
assimilation are better maintained by
a moderate grain ration once daily for
the thrifty growing youngsters. The
quality of the meat when it goes 011
the market will bo euough hotter to
more than meet the additional ex
pense. With a half ration of grain
once a day, a larger number of young
things may be grazed on a given num
ber of acres. This permits increasing
the amount of live stock; or 011 the
other hand, the increase of the acreage
of the farm for graiu.
lu the case of calves aud lambs, it
is particularly needful that they be
provided while grazing with dry hay,
straw or fodder, which will tnable
them to leave at auy time the grass
and relieve a discomfort of bloating
by eating the dry provender. Only a
small quautity of this is required to
prevent many of the serious ills which
come to the pasture grounds. Con
venient access to drinking water must
be provided. If there is not a flow
from a natural stream, if possible na
ture's liquid should come from a deep
well. As a rule it is not advisable to
spare expense in having numerous
tanks or lengthy troughs, which will
enable the timid to satisfy as promptly
as their stronger fellows.
The returning prosperity of busi
ness warrauts extra attention to the
colts. Four 01* five years from this
time, tho tiny colt of this season will
be in demand. The requirements of a
mature horso at that time will date
back to the present.
It should be made thoroughly familiar
with men, women and children, as
well as many other things with
which, as a mature animal, it will
come in contact. At six mouths of
age it should be as fearless of or
dinary sights and sounds as it ever
need be. A few moments' patient at
tention to these details daily will ac
complish all that is desired for the
future welfare of tho little fellows
whom we are proue to neglect when
they most need the teaching which
their docility permits.—Farm, Field
