How many beautiful young girls develop into worn, listless and hopeless
Women, simply because sufllcicat attention has not been paid to their physical

. If you know of any young lady who is sick, and needs motherly
advice, ask her to write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., who wUI
give her advice free, from a source of knowledge which is un-
Cqualed in the country. Do not hesitate about stating details
which one may not like to talk about, and which are essential
for a full understanding of the case.

RACK FOR TOMATO VINES.
Description of a rack to lay tomato
vines on: We raise the Ponderosa to
mato, and whenever one touches the
ground it rots. So we made a lot of
these racks and have used them sev
eral years, and they have proven to be
j a success. The illustration represents
the rack in position. After use it is
folded up to be put away. The posts
are made of heavy fence lath sawed in
two in the middle and nailed with one
nail at the top, which serves as n hinge
nnd the other strips are common lath.
The side that has three laths on is to
be put next to the vine and the vine
laid across the rack. If the rack is set
too straight the vine may blow off. but
if they do blow off they can be tied on.
—II. L. Bender, in The Epltomlst.
BRINGING UP THE VINEYARD.
While it is true that many vineyards
that are unprofitable are so because
they are old or because it is impossible
to get them over the ravages of the
rot, It is also true that the majority
of the vineyards which are unprofita
ble are so because they have not re
ceived proper care. An excellent plan
for bringing up tho vineyard is to use
300 pounds of muriate of potash with
800 pounds of acid phosphate rock and
100 pounds of nitrate of soda to the
acre in the spring and 100 pounds addi
tional of tho nitrate of soda alone in
June or early July. Keep the soil well
cultivated until the middle of August,
tbeu sow between the rows one or two
rows of field peas which, after culti
vating until they get a start, should lie
allowed to grow nnd this growth
plowed under the following spring.
'Phis plan adds humus to the soil, and
5s especially recommended when there
Js a dearth of stable manure, and la
many cases it is quite as good as ttoe
stable manure, particularly when the
commercial fertilizers are used.—ta
dianapolis New'.
FERTILITY FOR PLANTS.
Remember that plants cannot j-iake
use of fertility in the soil, that Is, "plant
food, until the fertility can be dissolved
in water. There thay be phosphate in
the rock, but the plant cannet feed
upon It until the rock has been dis
solved by sulphuric acid, and this work
the fertilizer companies do Tor us.
Barnyard manure cannot lie fnken up
as plant food by trees, plants and vines
until ft lias decayed. If we apply the
dressing of fresh stable manure to a
field this spring, which we plant to
earn or potatoes, that manure will not
be in 'Condition to benefit the crop
until it rots, which will not occur
untllmld-summer, and some of It will
not'be acceptable to the plants during
the entire season, a yiortlon remaining
for the succeeding crop another year.
The humus added to the -soli by the
decaying manure may remain In the
soil for several years. Most soils, par
ticularly clayey land, contains at
abundance of fertility to produce the
heaviest crop, but the plant food in the
soli is not often in a soluble condition,
nnd therefore cannot lie taken up by
the plants ns food. The winter frosts
liberate much of the fertility of such
soils, ns also does frequent cultivation,
and the action of rain, sun and all - .

PEACH YELLOWS.
The great authority on peach culture,
J. H. Hale, has the following to say ol
Southern grown peach trees: "A year
ago I hinted at the possibility of ex
cessive peach orchard planting the
country over. The mad rush continues,
and were it not for the disease known
as 'yellows,' we should soon be face
to face with such overproduction as
would make It Impossible for tlic aver
age cultivator to market peaches with
out loss, must less profit Yellows,
spreading with greater virulence thaD
ever In 1897, made it clear that it was
to be even worse in the future, nnd
that ail through the Central and North
ern States It is to be a hard light in
future to maintain healthy and profita
ble orchards. Only those who know
the yellows, and dread it, and fight iti
from start to finish, can hope to suc
ceed. I have in fruiting orchards more
peach trees than any man on earth,
and I know -from sad and dearly
bought experience that peach trees
grown in any of the Northern or Cen
tral States cannot be depended upon
as free from yellows, and tlie only
way to secure n healthy tree at the
start Is to plant Southern-grown trees,
from below the tainted district.' Know
ing this as I (10, I have entirely aban
doned growing poach trees at the

PofttitßO Stamp Perforation*.
We used to separate postage stamps
"Willi shears. An Irishman of tlic name
of Archer invented the machine which
perforates the sheet and tried to sell it
to the British Government, bnt for
years its practicability was doubted.
Finally he received an offer of S3OOO
for his patent, which he refused. After
long and weary contention bo got
$20,000 for it. The invention is only
about fifty years old. It seems singu
lar that our revenue stamps of 1808
should not have been perforated like
postage stamps, but punctured with
delicate knives. But whoever gives
n thought to these common thing* of
everyday life?— New York Press,

; HAY STACKING IN NORTHWEST.
Contrivances That Would Surprise an
Eastern Farmer.
In the Northwestern States where
forage crops are cultivated for ex
port the stacking and baling of hay
is done largely by machinery, and the
number of hands required to carc for
the great crops that are grown is rel
atively much smaller than in parts of
the country where the size of the fields
and the amount of the crop would not
justify the investment of a large sum
of money in plant. There are a dozen
or more styles of stackers in common
use, some of litem arranged with a
masit on which a boom is rigged,
carrying a fork. This fork, a huge
affair which would pick up two or
three Eastern hay cocks at one mo
tion, takes the hay from the wagon
racks and swings it up to the great
stack in which it is to be stored. One
mast and boom stacker carries a six
tined fork. The mast is held in place
by guy ropes from the top. The foot
of the mast rests on a sled with run
ners. which may be staked to the
ground to hold it firm. The fork is
worked by a team of horses, and does
the work of a score of men. Another
form of this stacker has a grapple
fork, similar to the dredges used in
sub-marine excavation, which runs on
a trolley wire, much like those made
familiar to New Yorkers by the ar-,
rangements for handling the material
excavated from the subway. Another
form of stacker looks like a derrick
from the oil fields, with a boom bal
anced on top. The advantage of this
form is that no guy ropes are neces
sary, stakes at the base of the der
rick poles holding it firm while in op
eration. Some of these derricks ore
mounted on sled runners, and some on
wheels which are blocked when the
machine Js in use. Another variation
of this scheme is a derrick with a re
volving pole > The hay racks in which
material is Ijrought to feed these great
machines are longer, wider and deep
er than those in use in the East, but
are built on lines much the same.
A Remarkable Bridge.
There is a remarkable bridge over
the river Indus at Rondu, in Northern
Kashmir. This fair looking structure
—which crosses a rocky gorge, through
which the river runs at a tremendous
rate —consists of three ropes, one foot
rope and two side ropes, joined to
gether by short lengths of rope at
intervals of a few feet. The three
main ropes consist of long switches
of brushwood roughly bound together,
the two side strands being kept apart
by forked stakes at intervals of 20
feet Ne-edless to say, the crossing
of these swinging, swaying structures
is not a very pleasant experience, and
intrepid mountaineers have been
known to run sick with terror in the
middle, although the native coolies
cross Most light-heartedly with heavy
loads. The bridge has been described
as 'cue of the worst in tbo Himalayas.
