PINKHAM.] A woman with the blues is a very un comfortable person. She is illogical, unhappy and frequently hysterical. The condition of the mind known as 14 the blues," nearly always, with wo men, results from diseased organs of generation. It is a source of wonder that in this ago of advanced medical science, any person should still believe that mere force of will and determination will overcome depressed spirits and nerv ousness in women. These troubles are indications of disease. Every woman who doesn't under stand her condition should write to Lynn, Mass., to Mrs. I'inkham for her advice. Ilcr advice is thorough com mon sense, and is the counsel of a learned woman of great experience. Read the story of Mrs. F. 8. BENNETT, Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol lowing letter: * DEAR MRS. Pinkham: —l have suf fered for over two years with falling, enlargement and ulceration of the womb, and this spring, being in such a weakened condition, caused mo to How for nearly six months. Some time ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you for advice. After using the treatment which you advised for a short time, that terrible flow stopped. *'l am now gaining strength and flesh, and have better health than 1 have had for the past ten years. I wish to say to all distressed, suffer ing women, do not suffer longer, when there is one so kind and willing to aid you." Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is a woman's remedy for wo man's ills. More than a million wo men have been benefited by it Strawberry Fields After ricking. If the field in to ho retained an other year, mow tho plants as soon as the frnit is removed, allow to dry and some day when there is a brisk wind turn over. This will destroy many fungous and insect pests in the foli age. With an ordinary plow narrow the rows to tho desired width and keep the soil between them looso all snnlmer by means of shallow culti vators. Controlling Red Spider. In the greenhouses and among house plants this pest is often serious. Where it is practicable the atmosphere should bo excessively humid, as the mitc3 do not, work so readily in moist air. Squirting water upon the plants lias some effect. Spraying with Roup emulsions is aIRO advised. Kerosene emulsion, however, is tho most eff'ec- j tive of all remedies and will usually j be founds tho most convenient and sat isfactory. Pencil Leaf Curl Common. This disease has been very preva lent during this season. In some eases it was quite serious, checking the de velopment of tho trees and injuring their vitality. The trouble is caused by a fungus which penetrates tho tis sues aud causos abnormal thickening. Tho leaves and fruit finally drop off, new ones appear nnd the tree finally regains its natural appearaneo. Spray ing with bordeaux mixture and ent ting out nnd burning tho affected branches is about the only means of controlling tho disease. Ailvnntugo of Straight Itnws. When it comes to cultivating, it is easy to appreciate the advantage of planting the hills as nearly on straight lines each way na it is possible to make thom. Tho cultivator can ho run up close to the hill on eneli side, loosening the soil aud making tho corn grow rapidly from the first. Even if there is a variation of two or three Inches one way or the other, it is im possible to do good work, for one side of the cnltivator has to be tilted up BO as to keep it from digging out or out-1 ting off the corn or potato plants that were out of place. It is best, when first going through tho field with the cultivator, to use very narrow blades for the cultivator, and turn from rather than towards the hill. The next cul tivation should quickly follow and re verso this. A little quito loose soil thrown nmong tho plants in tho hill t-ill smother all weeds nnd will also mnko all the corn nnd potatoes grow faster.—American Cultivator. lluckn Mint ltotho Tliclr nnnils. In order to maintain health a duck, young or old, must have water; either in stream, tank or trough, deep enough for it to imraerso its head in above tho oyes. This it must have or it will take tho soro eyes and perish. A shallow pan of water deep enough for them to crane their bends and necks down into, is little bettor than no water at all. Bear this in mind: A duck must hnve water about its eyos dnily or it will not thrive. But if'a tank of suffi cient depth is provided for the ducks to sink their bends into the water clear out of sight, then they can do without the pond or stream. When this is not dono they gam-up about the eyes, becomo listless, sit about, nnd BOOH die. Young ducks that do not lmve water as abovo suggested drop off one by ono until the whole flock -disap pears. Yet must say in conelusion that to allow the young duoks to go to the pond too early is also bad for them. lions In Pasture. The opinion seems to exist nmong swine raisers, who aro beginning to learn tho advantages of raising bacon hogs on tho range, that this method should apply only to hogs raised to moderato weight. This is a mistake, for tho most expensivo nnd least healthful combination is dry corn with water or slops fed in a dry lot, while the opposite result is obtained when ono-hulf the quantity of corn is fed and the pigs have grass or clover pasture. The value of corn meal for fattening pigs is conceded, but, on the other hand, it is poor food for growing pigs, although of value when fed as directed or in the Reason when green pnstnre is not obtainable, if fed with wheat bran or clover hay. No matter how low the price of corn may be, tho green food is cheaper, espe pecinlly when fed in pasture, besides being a better corrective of the sys tem than the dry foods. It is a mat ter of record that swine rniscd on corn almost wholly are subject to diseases of various kinds, while those pastured and fed a half ration of corn are strong and healthy, aud are rarely at tacked by cholera. Care and Ripening of Cream. Cream should never set in open crocks or pails in cellars, pantries, or anywhere there aro odors or where the air is not pure. The cream crock or can should always be covered, and in summer it should qtand in tho coolest place in tho milk cellar, while in win ter it may bo brought into, a roojn where the temperature is from sixty to seventy degrees. Each time, tho cream can is emptied it should be thoroughly hashed, scalded, and put out of doors for an hour or two before being used again. When starting to collect cream for a fresh churning, add to your first skimming a starter which you know has a olean, good flavor. A pint or two of cream saved from your pre vious churning, or tho same amount of good batter-milk or sour skim-milk answers. The renson for adding the starter is, that tho bacteria, which you know prodnoe a fine-flavored but ter, get control of the new cream be fore other germs which might prove unfavorable take possession of it. Stir well each time new cream is added. Do not add sweet cream shortly churning. You will liavo a great loss of butter fat if you do. Separator cream should bo cooled to sixty degrees in winter and to lifty-five degrees in summer before it is added to the ercam crock. The day before churning examine your cream. If tho lactio acid ho de veloping slowly, heat the cream to sixty-live dogreos in winter nnd sixty degrees in summer by plaoing the can in a dish of warm water at 100 de grees, and Btirring constantly until the desired tomperatnre is reached. In warm weather care should be takon not to overheat the oreatu or it will become too sour before churning time, and too much aoid is injurious to the flavor of the butter. It may not he necessary to warm tho cream at all in summer time. Have the cream lowered to churning temperature sov* eral hoars before churning.—New York Weekly Witness. Inserts ami a Sprayor. Sometimes in the heart of the sum mer you find yourself strolling abont, looking at tho various plants, noting the progress they have mado, when all at once you nro stnrtied because of various posts which have taken pos session of this vine or tbnt shrub; your vexation grows as you proceed, examining rose bashes, and, finally, extending your observation to tho trees on the lawn, you find that the enemy is in full possession. The honeysuckle vine is covered with nphidoß, except on the older branches, which are full of great fat worms that are improving every minute, gorman dizing at the expense of tho vine; the aphides have found their way into the very unfolding buds, and the plant will succumb unless something is done, and thnt promptly. The tender pnrts of the branches are likowise being destroyed; the elm trees harbor caterpillar nests; the black aphides are a sight to behold on the young cherry trees—nnd all this on a well-kept lawn! The rem edy, of course, for such a situation nnd dire condition of things is to pro cure a sprayer and rout the enemy. I speak from experience, for last summer these pests came unawares nnd took tip their abiding place on vine nnd shrub, bush and tree. I sent for a sprayer, and I suppose a great deal of cruelly to animals fol lowed, for the, oprnyer was used fre quently, aud the iuseet posts were quite effectually cleared away. This ronson the sprayer will be used in time to prevent any wholesale pos session. It has been at work nlready, in fact, according to tho old adage thnt "an onnee of prevention is worth n pound of cure." Forewarned, one should iio forearmed; it is n good thing to invest in a sprayer; even a very small one is worth n great deal in a enso of emergency. Thore is nothing moro vexatious than to find one's choice plants being ruined by various pests which by watchful care and prompt action can be overcome. —Vick's Magazine. , Agricultural Note*. A new virtue lias been found for the crimson rambler rose. It is fine for cutting. It is poor policy to try to mnko the feed in a steer's stomach take the place of a shelter over his back. Sweet potato rot is prevonted by applying with tho fertilizer or in a drill, 300 pounds per acre of flour of sulphur. Careful brooding, judicious feeding and plenty of fresh air and exercise mean strong, healthy chickens, and the most important point of all is brooding at the beginning. Wo have no doinestio birds thnt mntnro fnster than ducks. Their appetite, so far from boing an objec tion, is their good recommendation. They eat for a good purposA. Fnsh tho young lambs. Don't worry nbont overfoeding them. Pro vide a creep where tho little fellows may have constant access to ground feed, and thoir wondrons growth will please you. An Illinois rose grower snys tho plague of fungi and insects on roseA is not a serious one, and that lie can keep them in check by the occasional use of kerosene umulsicn. Nor are many sprayings necessary. The thing is to "bo in tino." Buy fertilizers in as condensed a form as possiblo. It does not pay to buy those of low grade, for they con tain less of the desired elements in proportion to their cost than do the higher grades, and the cost of freight and handling is all ont of proportion to their value. The subject of eorly pasturo for n flock is important to be considered. Every farm flock should ho provided with pasture ns early in tho season as possible. It greatly helps tho milk, both in qrmntity and quality, and it saves tho costly hand feodiug which reduces the profit. Rointlfhl Custom In Crctft.
