It was Mrs. Gales, I think, who, at one of her own dinners, wrote a card to her niece at the other end of the table, "Don't flirt so with Nat Wil lis." She was talking vivaciously her self to Mr. Campbell. Willis replied: "Dear aunt, don't attempt my young feelings to trammel, Nor strain at a Nat while you swallow a Campbell"— probably the quickest-witted couplet on record. AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM. Mrs. W. E. PAXTON, Youngtown, North Dakota, writes about lier strug gle to regain health after the birth of her little girl: "DEAR MRS. PINKIIAM:— It is with pleasure that I add ray testimony to your list, hoping that it may induco others to avail themselves of vour val uable medicine. "After the birth of ray little girl, three years ago, my health was very poor. I had leucorrhcea badly, and a terrible bearing-down pain which gradually grew worse, until I could do no work. Also had headache nearly all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men struations were very profuse, appear ing every two weeks. 44 1 took medicine from a good doctor, but it seemed to do no good. I was becoming alarmed over my condition, when I read your advertisement in a paper. I sent at once for a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Com pound, and after taking two-thirds of the bottle I felt so much better that I send for two more. After using three bottles I felt as strong and well as any one. " I think it is the best medicine for female weakness ever advertised, and recommend it to every lady I meet suf fering from this trouble." Maternity is a wonderful experience and many women approach it wholly unprepared. Childbirth under right conditions need not terrify women. The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely offered to all expectant mothers, and her advice is beyond question the most valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be fore confinement she would have been saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham'a address is Lynn, Mass.

"so" Thompson's Eye Water P. N. U. 39 '9B Economical Use of Water Power. One of the neatest and most econo mical power plants in the country is constructed on a plan furnished by a praotical farmer. There is a good spring on his premises, but it lays too low to be available for his dwelling and farm buildings. The city water pipe passes his door and this has been tapped to furnish water power. A stream not larger than an ordinary knitting needle turns a little motor that operates a small pump, the con tinual working of whioh fills a tank that furnishes water for the entire es tablishment. When a small amount of water is used and the tank fills to a certain line there is an automatio shut-off that stops the water. Re newed use allows the valve to open, when the pump again begins working. One farmer has a most admirable ar rangement for water supply based on this principle. An enormous pipe of iron is placed upon end in a deep hole prepared to receive it. The bottom of this is Portland cement and through this floor pipes pass out through svhiah the water is furnished to the build ings. One length of this pipe in en tirely below the ground and is walled up with stone and cement, while above the ground is another length of pipe similarly protected by a stone caseing. Small steps in the wall give access to the top of the pipe, which is closely covered. These lengths of pipe are each twelve feet long and about six feet in diameter, and are placed on an elevation some distance above the farm buildings. The city water furnishes the power for purnp iug, and the tank is ample to supply not only the necessary water for farm and domestic use, but nlso the power required in the barns aud dairy, cut ting feed, working the churn and the like. The cost of such an arrange ment is inconsiderable when its value as a saving in labor is taken into ac count. —New York Ledger. Orchard Wisdom. If orchards are to be made profitable they must receive as good care as other crops. Good drainage, nntural or artifical, is essential to success. Trees are im patient of wet feet. Good tillage increases the available food supply of the soil and also con serves its moisture. Tillage should be begun just as soon as the ground is dry enough in the spring, aud should be repeated as of ten as once in ten days throughout the growing season, which extends from spring until July or August. Only cultivated crops should be al lowed in orchards early in the season. Grain and hay should never be grown. Even home or cultivated crops may rob the trees of moisture and fertility are allowed to stand above the tree roots. Watch a sod orchard. It will begin to fail before you know it. Probably nine-tenths of the apple orchards are in sod, and many of them are meadows. Of course they are fail ing. The remedy for these apple failures is to cut down many of the orchards. For the remainder the treatment is cultivation, fertilizing, spraying—the trinity of orthodox apple-growing. Potash is the chief fertilizer to be applied to fruit trees,particularly after they come into bearing. Potash may be had in wood ashes and muriate of potash. It is most commonly used in the latter form. An auuual application of potash should bo mnde npon bearing orchards, 500 pounds to the acre. The crops well adapted to this fate sowing are few. Vetch is probably the best which has been tested. But everything points to crimson clover as the ideal orchard cover aud green manure.—Professor Bailey, Cornell Experiment Station, in Massachusetts Ploughman. Classification of Soil*. 1. Sandy soil: such as has at least seventy-five per cent, of sand. The quantity of sand may be determined with considerable accuracy by very simple means. Dry aud weigh a pound of soil, and put it into a vessel which will hold a gallon or two of water. Pour clean water over it and stir it up thoroughly, then pour the water gradually off. The sand will sink on account of its weight. By re peating the washing with portions of clear water, until the water passes off clear, the sand alone will be loft and may be dried and weighed, and the quantity of sand in a pound of soil determined. 2. A sandy loam is a soil which con tains fifty to seventy-five per cent, of sand, which may be separated and determined as above. 3. A clay loam has twenty five to fifty per cent, of sand, and the re mainder chiefly clay. 4. A clay soil has less than twenty five per cent, of sand, the remainder chiefly clay. The dark red clay soils have a large per cent, of oxide of iron. 5. Any soil containing ten per cent, of lime or more may be considered a limy or calcareous soil, whether the remainder be clay or sand, or both. To determine the amount of carbonate of lime in the soil, heat two ounces of well dried soil on a piece of sheet iron or on an iron ladle till the vegetable matter is burnt out. Then pour over it a pint of water aud add a fluid ounce of muriatic acid. The acid will dis solve the lime, while it will dissolve very little else from the mass. Wash the earth with clear water several times, take the remainder, dry and weigh it, and the loss will be carbonate of lime. This is but a rude experi ment, but near enough for practical purposes. 6. A peaty soil is one which con tains twenty per cent, of dark, de cayed vegetable matter. Such soils are common in low, swampy places. The quantity of peat may bo deter mined by burning out the vegetable matter and ascertaining the loss of weight.—Florida Farmer. Pasturing rigs on Stulible Fields. When grain is harvested some neces sarily escapes the reaper and is usually lost. While the amount may hardly be sufficient to make it profitable to fol low the reaper with a rake, the scat tered grain may be profitably utilized by turning pigs or other stock into the stubble fields, and as a matter of fact the custom of pasturing stock on such fields is quite common in many re gions. \ Some interesting experiments have recently been made at the Montana Station to learn the value of this ns compared with other methods of feed ing. Forty-one pigs from six to nine months old were allowed the run of barley, wheat, and pea stubble fields of 18, 10.44 and 10.73 acres respec tively. For some time before the test they had been pastured on alfalfa and fed one pound of cracked barley per head daily. For ten weeks immediately preceding the test they made a daily nverage gain of 0.42 pound per head. While pastured on the stubble fields they were given no grain in addition to what they could find except on stormy days. The grain thus fed amounted to 24.1 pounds in the five weeks of the te3t. During this time the pigs made a gain of 22.8 pounds per head, or 17.5 pounds, deducting the amount which it was calculated they gained from the grain fed during stormy weather. On the supposition that 4.5 pounds of grain are required to produce a pound of pork, the forty-one pigs gathered 3228.75 pounds of grain, which other wise would have been lost. The har vesting had been in the usual manner, and in the investigator's opinion the amount of peas and grain remaining in the field did not exceed that left in the stubble fields on the average farm. The scattered grain could not have been saved in any other way, and represents a clear profit. The grain saved from the stubble fields by these pigs was not nil that could have been gathered if they had remained in the fields a longer time. Seven brood sows were afterwards pastured during the winter on the sta tion stubble fields, which included a twenty-four acre oat field in addition to those mentioned above. They were given no food in addition to what they could gather except kitchen slojas aud a small grain ration on stormy days. The sows frequently rooted down through six inches of snow and found sufficient grain to keep them in good condition , throughout tho entire winter. It is stated in a recent communica tion from the Montana Station that several brood sows have been pas tured during the past season on stub ble fields without receiving any grain in addition, and that they are in fair condition. They had, in addition to the grain stubble fields, tho range of clover, alfalfa and timothy meadows, and the gleanings of fields where root crops had been raised. The manure from grain-fed stock, which was spend upon the fields, also furnished some grain. Poultry Notes. Freedom from lice and plenty of rauge will make the growing chicks "hump" themselves these days. Tho Poultry Messenger advises putting away some second growth clover for feeding hens in winter. The sooner you are rid of all tho old stock except those intended for next season's breeders, the better. Some hens do not possess the egg laying habit ami no system of feeding will make good layers of such hens. Be careful how the new grain is fed. It is liable to produce cases ol what you will probably call cholera. Pure bred fowls, first, last, and all the time. Tho breed doe 3 not matter so much, provided you are satisfied with it. Hens that are permitted to range all summer will not lay as many eggs as those in reasonable confinement and properly fed. Give as much of a variety as possi ble. Young chicks soon tire of the best of feed if confined to it for any great length of time. That soft feed that stands over from morning till night is not just the thing for the next feed. It won't hurt the hogs, however. Too much young stock is used for breeding purposes. The young chicks will be hardier and make larger fowls if from two-year-old stock.
