A woman who is sick and suffering, and won't at feast
try a medicine which has the record of Lydia E. Pinkham's *
Vegetable Compound, is to blame for her own wretched
condition. t
There are literally hundreds of thousands of women in t
the United States who have been benefited by this famous 1
old remedy, which was produced from roots and herbs over
thirty years ago by a woman to relieve woman's suffering. t
Read what these women say:
Camden, N. J. ? " It Is with pleasure that I send my testimonial
for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, hoping it
may induce other suffering women to avail themselves of the I
benefit of this valuable remedy.
" I suffered from pains in my back and side, sick headacbeSL
no aopctite, was tired and nervous all the time, and so weak I
could hardly stand. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made me a well woman ?and this valuable medicine shall I i'
always have mv nr?l<i? " ? ih?i w *? ?.? ?? """ * '

at last was almost helpless. I tried three doctors but they did t
me no good. My sister advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's L
Vegetable Compound, and it has made mo well and strong. I o
hope all suffering women will just give Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound a trial, for it is worth its weight in gold." f
? Mrs. J. P. Kndlich, R. F. D. 7, Eric, Pa. | *
Since we guarantee that all testimonials which we pub- f

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had the vi *tue to help
these women it will help any other woman who is suffer- ^

Care of the Cow.
Do not stay around a cow with a
poung calf if it seems to disturb her.
Do not stuff her with a heavy feed at
jnce. Increase her feed gradually after
a comparatively small beginning,
so that by the end of three or four
lays, if she is in good health and has
i good appetite, she will be on about

Alfalfa Not Credited.
Alfalfa is not yet credited for more
ban half its worth lor making heef,
nilk, etc. In his recent visit to the
argentine country of South America,
'rof. Muinford, of the Illinois Univerity,
has some good words on alfalfa,
thick are just as applicable to this
ountry as to that. He says:
Alfalfa is grown in most parts of

fill grow well for ten years and it is
elieved a fair stand will be mainlined

1 some instances in baling and stackig

A fine illustration of the value of
Ifalfa is seen in the experience of

acres of the original alfalfa ranch

stums $7 to $9 per acre per year.
It requires from one and one-third

Ventilating the Poultry House.
A poultry house is not much good
nless it is well-ventilated, for pure,
resh air is very essential to health
nd productivity in hens. On account
f their higher body temperature,
hickens require plenty of good air
o breathe even more than most other
omestlc animals. Then in addition
o this, the unpleasant odors and
Ases existing in the poultry house
must be dissipated and removed.
To correctly ventilate the poultry
louse is a more complex matter than
nost people think, for the reason that
Irafts^and currents of air must be
unrefunly avoided. The ventilators,
irhtch work quite satisfactorily in
[welling houses and barns give very
unsatisfactory results on poultry houBis
and &ro little or no better than
nothing at all. If the windows are
aft nnrtlv nnon rtraf?? #n<l wild fur.
ents of air blow In over the fowls, or
aln or snow may be blown Into the
louse.
By having a loft above a loose celling
In the bouse and keeping this
Sited with dry straw or hay, much of
the moisture and Impurities of the
air are drawn off. But this Is not
all that could be desired, for It falls
to supply fresh air to the fowls.
The modern and model method of
ventilating a poultry house is by
means of window openings in the
sowth side of the bUlldlng which arc
covered with a muslin curtain in cold
er disagreeable weather. During th<
- -c-j.
? ^
remainder of the time, both winter
and summer, these openings are covered
merely with wire netting. Oiled
muslin (or "waterproof sheeting") can
be secured at almost any of the incubator
and brooder companies or the
poultry supply houses, at a cost of
only a few cents a yard. Ordinary
muslin will answer the ventilating *
question just as satisfactorily as the
oiled material, except that it lacks the '
water-proof quality possessed by the
latter. Either kind permits of a gen- 1
tie diffusion of froeh air from the out- '
side into the interior of the building j
while the foul air may Just as readily '
pass out through the porous curtain.
All this is accomplished without any
direct draft and the action is very
gentle although none the less positive, i
Instead of having three or four win- i
dow sashes to the Bouth of the poultry i
house, use muslin for the one instead :
of glass. On mild days the muslin i
frame may be removed and the house 1
thoroughly aired.?Epitomist. <

Carbolic Acid in the Poultry Yard. '
Carbolic acid, properly applied, is a '
useful drug in the poultry yard. The
offensive ar.d unwholesome odors of the
poultry quarters, arising from the exhalations
and the fermentation of J
their droppings, may be easily and >
effectually removed by the use of a *
suiuuon ci earuonc acia. Among tne J
most troublesome annoyances of poul- ?
try-keeping lice must be enumerated, ?
These parasites will master the situa- ?
tion unless they are looked after. Car- ?
bollc acid in solution almost .?.stantly ?
destroys these pests. The small t
"mites" or "spiders," which live dur- 1
ing the day in cracks and crevices and 1
about the bearings of the roosts, in
the corner of nest-boxes, etc., are the
most annoying to the fowls at night.
Another trouble that may be enumer- j
ated under the head of parasites is i
"scabby legs." This disease, if di- t
stasc it be, is produced by an acarus, (
a minute insect, which burrows be- <
tween and under the scales on the <
shanks and feet. When neglected for s
a considerable time, the scabs or in- $
crustations grow to a disgusting size, i
and will be harder to remove than j
if undertaken as soon as discovered, t
This trouble Is easily cured by the ]
use of the acid. A solution for use in
poultry quarters for hygenic purposes
may be made by mixing one fluid
ounce of the acid with a gallon of water.
Then sprinkle the inside surface
thoroughly?floor, walls, roosts,
nests, everything inside of the quarters?with
the solution. An excellent
plan is to saturate pieces of old carpet,
or bags, or worn-out horse-blankets
with a strong solution, and hang
or tack them up In the roosting-place,
or inside the coops where small chickens
are kept. In hot weather the so
lution should be used in the buildings I
at least one a month, and In the coops J
for little chickens oftener. The smell
given off will neutralize odors or iui- ^
asms and destroy all microscopic organisms
and parasites, while it is absolutely
harmless to the fowls and
chickens. The ointment is made by
mixing about one fluid ounce or a large
tablespoonful of the acid with a pound
of melted lard and stirring until thoroughly
mixed. As soon as cold enough
it is ready for use. A little of this
will keep the vermin away. It will,
when applied, cure the "scabby la:?.'

Farm Notes.
Hens in the stable are like pigs in
the door yard. Both are untidy and
unclean.
Plenty of shade fbr the hens. And
they must have a cool house to roost
in at night.
Be not weary in fighting the lice,
for in due season they will get your
fowls if you do not get them.
iu picKing your Dreeaers tor next
year's stock remember that the roos- ]
ter is more than half the flock. J
Poor plan to house the young chicks
and the old fowls together. The old i
birds are more than apt to pick on the 1
little fellows.
If the cats are fed extra well during <
the period when the young chicks are i
running free you will find they will
not be so prone to an occasional |
chicken dinner.
When you put thj Incubator away
were you careful to see that the water 1
tank was empty? The ground makes |
a good place to set the late broody
hen. Protect from sun and rain.
To eradicate worms, placing a lump 1 ;
of rock salt where the horse may lick
it at will, is often useful. Oil of turpentine,
one-half ounce, to be followed
by the raw oil purge, will dislodge the
worms.
The successful poultry man is the
one who can distinguished the dividing
line between the pure bred stock
and is all for show, and the pure bred
stock that is for the egg and flesh
making business.
It is Impossible to say just bow soon
in her life a heifer should be bred.
The distinctive, specialized dairy
breeds may be bred earlier than the
larger strains. Some heifers at sixteen
months are as fully developed as
, others at twenty-four. Therefore the
experienced breeder will bred accord- I
<ing to development. f

EXPOSITION.?I. Unrnabns and
Saul called by the Holy Spirit, set
apart by men, sent forth hy men and
by the Holy Spirit, 1-4. The church
at Antioch had five "prophets and
teachers'* worthy of mention bjf ?;
name. This early Gentile church became
a fountain of light and life "to
many other places. The Holy Ghost
Bpoke to them "as they ministered to
the Lord and fasted." If we would
Bpend more time and strength in
ministering to the Lord and In fast
ing, we would have more frequent
and clearer leadings of the Spirit. A
Spirit-filled mind rarely accompanies
an over-filled stomach. Greater simplicity
in our living would be conducive
to a clearer perceptiou of the
mind of God. It is not said how the
Spirit spoke, whether in an audiblo
voice, or silently, in the inner recesses
of the heart, but He spoke in
an unmistakable way. It was no
vague, uncertain impulse sucn as
men sometimes call "the voice of the
Spirit." He is ready to speak to-day.
If we will supply the proper conditions
and listen. It was the Holy
Spirit's work to call; it was man's
tvork to recognize the call, and net
the called apart for the work. Those
alio ignore ordination by man are as
iinscrlptural as those who ignore a
sail by God. But it was "for the
tvork whereunto" the Spirit called
that they were to be set apart. Too
>ften we set men apart for a work
ivhereunto the Spirit never called
hem. Spirit called men are a great
men di our nay. we nave far too
nany men whom men have called;
)r. worse yet. who have called themselves.
Every step in that early
:hurch was taken In prayer. It was
irayer to which men gave themselves
o heartily that they withdrew themselves
even from their necessary
ood to pursue it (v. 3). The promptless
with which this church obeyed
he Spirit's command is worthy of
lote. He had demanded the best
ind they gave them up without a
nurrnur. They would have liked to.
lave kept Barnabas and Saul, but the
Spirit called them elsewhere, and
'they sent them away." But. while
hey sent them back of it all they
vere really "sent forth by the Holy
Jhost." Wonderfully suggestive and
n8plring words these. With what
:onfidence a man can go forth when '
le can confidently affirm, "I have
>een sent on the errand by the Holy
Jhost!" He may not know just
vhere he is going, or just what he is
o do. or just what awaits him. No
llrections seem to have been given as
o where they were to go; so they
nade straight for the nearest port
,nd thence for the old home of Barna>as
(ch. 4:36).
II. Triumph of Snul, filled with
he Spirit, over F.lynias, Full of all
iulle and all Villainy, 5-12. They
vere true to their commission, "they
ireached the word of God." Many a
nan has been sent forth by the Holy
Jhost who has afterward forgotten
vhat he was sent to preach; and so a
nission that was divine in its origin
>as come to nothing in its execution,
f there was ever a day in which their
>xampie needed imitation, it is tolay,
when men are preaching anyhing
and everytb'ng but "Mie v*ord
>f God" (romp. 1 The??. 2:1": 2 Tim.
1:2). Opponents of the gn?'<el. who
nake great pretensions end do amazng
things, are not at all new. One
leed not be frightened because men
who mako astonishing claims, and
vho display extraordinary gifts, arise
o lepd men astrav. It was so in th?
Irst days of the church's history, and

The "theosophists" and "Chrlsian
Scientists" of to-day are no more
iangerous than the Simons and Elynas
of early days. Spirit-fllled men
vere needed to oppose and confound
hem then, and Spirit-fllled men are
leeded to oppose and confound them
low. The proconsul. Sergius Paulus,
gave good proof thnt he was Indeed
'A man of understanding;" "he
:alled unto him Barnabas and Saul, '
ind sought to hear the word of God."
Whatever claims to prudence and
wisdom and conrraon sense a man
may make, he is not "a man of unlerstandlng,"
if he is not desirous "to
tiear the word of God." Elyrnas did
not give up without a light. The
