Think what a volume of experience
she has to draw from! No phj*sician
living ever treated so many cases of
female ills, and from this vast experience
surely it is more than possible
she has gained the very knowledge
that will help your case.
She is glad to have you write or call
upon her. You will lind her a woman
full of sympathy, with a great desire to
assist those who are sick. If her medicine
is not what you need, she will
frankly tell you so. and there are nine
chances out of ten that she will tell
you exactly what to do for relief. She
asks nothing in return except your
good will, and her advice has relieved
thousands.
Surely, any ailing woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she does not
take advantage of this generous oiler
of assistance.
Never in the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy

valuable, while even imitation
jewels are most brilliant. A gown of

that have red in them ar<3 trimmed
with gtirnets and rhinestones. Ribbon
bows are apparently held in place by
fascinating buckles in which rhinestones
play an important part. Silver
is so cheap that sterling silver buckles,
very clainty ana artistic iu uesigu, can
be bought for little and arejmuch used
as trimming. The belt buckles that
are attached to belts are 6mall, but
belt buckles that belong on dresses are
of goodly shape and 6ize. A chiffon
waist has the folds caught down across
the bust by a rhinestone buckle curved
m shape, and the stones marvellously
resemble real diamonds. Many conservative
women object to this fashion
on the ground that they dislike intensely
anything that is* imitation ; but
these mock-jewels arc taken for just
what they are worth, are not intended
to deceive, and consequently are worn
with simple morning gowns when the
real jewels would be incongruous. The
jet buckles are usea witti crepe, ana
lighten very decidedly the dull, sombre
look that crepe of necessity possesses.
The jacket fronts which are'eo much
a feature of summer gowss are particularly
adapted to the use of handsome
buttons; three on either side

The farm drag, or 6tone boat, as it
is frequently called, is capable of
much more convenient and frequent
use if it be made in a much lighter

drag is sometimes neeiled where heavy
stones are to be moved, but for moving

light structure is needed. The sketch

FEEDESO OF A CALF.
A young calf for the first month of
its life should have the new milk of
I the cow or the skimmed milk warmed
| to eighty degrees. When it is a month
old the quantity of milk should be inj
creased to ten or twelve quarts e. day,
and as soon as it will take a little fine
! meal and some fine hay or grass, it
should get vhat it will eat. A spring
calf may be turned into a good grass
lot when it is a month old, and should
be tethered, and get its milk as usual.
The milk may be continued for three
** ' * i* ? J
months, when a small ration or mixea
meal and bran should bo given, gradually
increasing the allowance until,
at 6ix months old, it gets a pound a
day, with as good pasture as can be
provided. After that the meal may be
increased gradually until in the winter
the calf is stabled with the cows, and
gets the same kind of feed in due proportion
to its age and size. Very much
may be done in this way by good feeding
to improve a herd and double the
value of the young 6tock. A full
grown cow will consume fifteen pounds
of good hay daily in the winter, with
five pounds of meal or bran and meal.
Thus 3000 pounds of hay will be required
to winter a cow as she should
be.?New York Times. .

HOW TO GROW CUCUMBERS,
Many successful gardeners claim
that cucumber seeds retain their
vitality for eight or nine years, but I
prefer to use seed not over three years
old, writes M. B. Keech. Experience
has taught me tnat it does not pay to
plant doubtful seeds of any kind. Ii
they fail to germinate, much valuable

replanting, and if they do produce
plants they are often so spindling that
they are not worth cultivating. I prefer
White Spine for both table use and
pickling. The vines are vigorous and
produce abundantly. The cucumher
is of good Bize, and the flesh tender
and crisp. When young it is deep
green, and, being well formed, makes
nice pickles. When ripe it turns a
clear white, the flesh is bolid and tentier,
and makes excellent sweet pickles.
Six or seven hills will probably fur
nish enough for a family of five or six
persons. As early in May as the
ground becomes warm and dry dig
holes about oDe foot deep and six feet
apart each way. Place a bucketful of
poultry manure in the bottom '.nd
tamp down firmly, then add five or six
inches of mellow soil to the top, on
which the seed are planted and
covered li inches deep with well pulverized
soil. If possible plant in
freshly prepared soil, pressing it firmly
over the seed with tRb back of the
hoe. Place eight or nine seeds in a
hill, and when all danger from bugs is
past, thin to three plauts, Make the
hills level with the surrounding surface.
Low hills stand the drouth better
than high ones. As soon as the
plants are out ot the ground they will
be attacked by little stripped beetles.
Lose no time in destroying them.
Wood ashes, air-slaked lime and soot
are effective remedies. Personally I
prefer to sprinkle white hellebore 01
1 the plants in tho morning while the
dew is on. The sprinkling should be
repeated after each-homing and after
every rain. A convenient contrivance

with a shingle nail, and you have all
the apparatus needed for killing vine

cultivation. Keep the ground mellow
J and work the soil around each plant.
Thi6 work must be thoroughly done
the first of the season, as the plants
will soon make runners eo long that
cultivation will be impracticable. If
the weather is drouthy, I use soapsuds,
dishwater, and all slops from the
house to water the vines. I consider

The gladiolus has become one of the
most popular of summer flowers. It
has many commendable qualities, and
requires but little of what may be
called skill in its management. The
bulbs may be planted as soon as the
frost leaves the ground in spring, and
if a succession of flowers is desired
planting may be made weekly until the
middle or end of June. The bulbs for
late planting must be kept in a very
1 --11 i A ^?^TTT_
C001 cellar iu procuu lucuj uuu jjiun
ing prematurely. Like most other
bulb?, gladioluses thrive best in
sandy or at least a light soil, and if
the finest flowers are to be obtained
the soil must be well enriched. In dry
seasons the blooms will be short lived,
but this can be materially counteracted
by mulching around the stems. This
is preferable to watering, which sometimes
injures the bulbs. They ripen
seed very freely, but it is at the expense
of the young bulbs, and where
it is not proposed to save seed the future
flowering bulbs will be greatly
helped in growing by removing the
flower stem as soon as the flowers fade.
Each bulb will form two bulbs for
future planting, and, in addition to
these, numerous small bulblets will be
found clustering at the base of the
larger bulbs. These small bulbs will
vary in size from a marble to a pea.
These should be carefully gathered

and sown m rows use peas, wneu mey
will soon reach the size of flowering
bulbs. The bulbs should be lifted in
the fall and, after being well dried in
the sun, stored in a dry place, where
no frost can enter. In dry soils, even
in the Middle States, they can be
planted deep enough to escape injury
from freezing, but it is the safer plan
to lift the bulbs after the stems decay
and keep^them dry during the winter.
The tigrida, or tiger flower, is a
Mexican bulb which produces tulipshaped
flowers of a scarlet color,
potted with yellow. The flowers are
very beautiful, but of short duration,
lasting only one day, but it continues
flowering for some time, several flowers
being produced from the same
stock. The bulbs are small and appear
almo3t worthless, but if they are
planted in a deep, light, rich soil
they will flower satisfactorily. They
are very tender and will not stand any
frost, consequently they should be
lifted an3 kept in a dry place, where
there ia no frost. They should not be
planted until the ground becomes
warmed in spring, otherwise the bulbs
will be apt to decay.?The Silver

ASPARAGUS GHOWINQ IN A COMMERCIAL WA1
The asparagus crop is probably the
most sensitive as to weather conditions
of any grown. It the weather is cold
and dry, it will make bat a feeble,
slow growth; on the contrary, il
warm, with frequent showers, the
plant will come on rapidly. Last
year tho letter conditions on Long
Island prevailed very early in the season,
some two weeks before the canners
were ready to commence packing.
The result was that nearly a third of
the crop hod to be shipped to New
York and other markets, causing such
a glut that in many cases it did not
pay expense of shipment. When the
canners were ready to take it, the
cold, dry weather set in, so that not
much, if any, more tnan nan an average
crop was pnt up.
The same condition prevails this
year, only much earlier, so the
growth commenced before the beds
were ridged up. The two factories,
the one at Riverhead and the other at
Mattituck, take nearly all grown in
this famous asparagus section, which
extends from Calverton to Peconic, a
distance of about twenty miles, although
a large proportion of it is
grown within a radius of five miles
from 3Iattituck, in whioh district there
nre probably about 200 acres old
enough for cutting (three or more
years), and many acres coming on.
The price paid the grower this year is
S9 per 100 bunches for No. 1 and 85
for culls. The latter is cut short and
put up as "tips," which retail at about
one-third less than the first quality,
which is put up in square boxes. The
tips are packed in round cans, and are
sold as second quality, when, in reality,
the asparagus is much better than
th i first quality.
The question is often asked, Is asparagus
a proStable crop? That depends
upon circumstances. At thd
present price which the cancers pay,
$9 per 100 bunches, it is a good crop,
much better than potatoes at sixty
cents per bushel. With .uood cultivation,
the average yield is 2500 bunche*
per acre, and the cost for labor is nc
more than for an acre of potatoes.
The best growers apply a ton of highgrade
fertilizer annually, per acre,
one-half early in the sorinsj and one.
if - rx__ :? i."u~ AA
nau uuer iuimwij^ iue nujjc uu?u
inJnly. If the cost of labor is thd
same as for an acre of potatoes, the
relative cost of production can bt
easily determined. Some growers sav
it- is three times as much work to take
care of a given acreage of asparagus,
as of potatoes; admitting it, the relative
cost is easily ascertained.
While at the present price the crop
is a profitable one, this is by no
means certain. The growers are in
the hands of the canners, and must
take just what they are disposed to
give, as there is no other market.
Without the canncr the plants might
as well be plowed up, from the lact
that, the pro Miction, baing so great
could not be disposed of. Aspara^Sl^
like strawberries, must be sold as
soon as cut, because ot its perishable
nature, and there is so much grown
now that it is not possible to consume
it when fresh. This was shown plainly
last year, when, during the ten days
it was being cut before the canuers
commenced operations, a portion of
the time it did not pay the expense of
shipping. Canners contract only for

d not far from Albany, writes Septemy
iter 20th, 1895: "I had acase recently
i that will be of interest to you. An
old gentleman had suffeied from
flatulence, due to indigestion; ha.d
been so annoyed by it that he had
consulted all the doctors in the
vicinity without securing any benefit.
Finally he came to my office.
I prescribed several remedies which
failed utterly. I then prescribed
If Ripaus Tubules, which he reported

make a strong feature of 'flatulence'

them excelleut in almost ev*ry case
of that sort."
