The first bottle ^eipcd me, and 1 haven't been bothered with any of my old troubles since. After my marriage, 1 lived in Mt. Vernon, lnd., and one of my neighbor's Rlrls suffered like I did. I told them to give her Cardui, the woman's tcnic, as it would help her, and it certainly did. right awav. I will surely recommend Cardui to nil women, for I think it is a good medicine for all kinds of womanly trouble." If you are suffering from any of the ailments peculiar to weak women. . such as headache, backache, sideache, nervousness, sleeplessness, etc.. we urge you to give Cardui, the woman's tonic, a trial.

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS Growth of Drug Habit in United States Alleged to Be Due to Opiates Ordered in Prescriptions. That 99 per cent, of all the cocaine . and morphine manufactured in this country 1b used by persons who have formed the drug habit through physicians' prescriptions is the startling statement made by Dr. L. F. Kebler. Chief of the Division of Drugs. Department of Agriculture. This statement, concerning the appalling growth of drug uddlction in the I'nited States, was made by Dr. Kebler in an address at Washington, before the American Society for the Study of Alcohol and Narcotics. Dr. Kebler is quoted by "Washington papers as having declared that drug using had increased 100 per cent, in the last 40 years, and that American medical men verc not discriminating enough in their use of opiates. Their overindulgence to their patients, he said, is creating thousands of drug users every year. "It is a very Bad thing to say that our physicians are doing the greatest work in promoting the use of cocaine and morphine," said the doctor "State laws are not saving the public from the grip of the drug habit, and the American public is sinking tighter Rnd tighter into the black abyss of the morphine and cocaine fiend. "The worst of it is that the importation of opium into the country is becoming larger and larger year by year. I have heard it said on reliable authority that f>f? per cent, of the cocaine and morphine manufactured in this country is used by persons who have formed the habit through " doctors' prescriptions." Almost simultaneously w ith Dr. Keb ler's address, Dr. J. A. Patterson, at Grand Kapids.

I J r n i I PRODUCTION OF COMB-HONEY 5ne of Fundamental Requirements of Equipment In Hives Is That They Be Uniform in Size. (By GEORQh! S. DEMUTH.) A beehive must serve the dual purpose of being a home for a colony of bees and at the same time a tool for the beekeeper. Its main requirements are along the line of its nua|naiIUU ?u mr vanuuo iiulu I |>II IUlions of the apiary in so far as these ?lo not materially interfere with the protection and comfort it affords the colony of bees. Since rapid manipulation is greatly facilitated by simple and uniform apparatus, one of the fundamental requirements of the equipyient in hives is that they be of the same style and size, with all parts exactly alike and interchangeable throughout the apiary. While the hives and equipment should be as simple and inexpensive as possible, consistent with their various functions. a cheap and poorly constructed beehive is, all things considered, an expensive piece cf apparatus. For comb-honey production the brood chamber should be of such a size that by proper management it may ut_* wen nneu w uu uiuun 111 me beginning of the honey How, so that the brood and surplus apartments may be definitely separated. A brood chamber may be considered too large if by proper management it is not on an average fairjy well filled with Super With Section Holder for Beeway Sections. brood at the beginning of the honey flow, and too small if it provides an average of less room than the colony is able to occupy with brood previous to the honey flow. Unless the beebeeper practices feeding, a brood chamber that does not contain sufli i cient room for both winter stores an?l brood rearing during lute summer and autumn may also be considered too small. It may be well to note that by this standard, if the'brood chamber seems to be too small the fault may lie in the management during the previous autumn, winter or spring. Of course the brood chamber that is barely large enough for one colony will be too large for another in the same apiary, or the character of the season may be such that all brood chambers may be too small for best results one season and too large the next, so an average must be sought. The sectional hive in which the brood chamber is composed of two or more shallow hive bodies, making it horizontally divisible, offers some advantages, especially to the combhonev specialist. Most of the ordinary manipulations can be performed readily with such hives without re moving the frames. Oue of their greatest advantages in comb honey production is the rapidity with which the apiarist can examine the colonies for queen colls if natural swarming is to be controlled by manipulation. Some of the advantages of the plain over the beeway sections are: (1) The.v nre simpler in construction, therefore costing less. (21 The edges being plain with no insets, the plain sections are more easily cleaned of pro|>olis when being prepared for market and are especially adapted to cleaning by machinery. (3) By leaving the spacers in the super, sections of the same honey content oc cupy less space in the shipping case, thus reducing the cost of packages. (4 I The plain section is adapted to an arrangement permitting freer communication lengthwise of the row of sections, especially at the corners. Some of the advantages of the beeway section are: <ll The honey is somewhat less liable to injury by handling. (2) Being wider at the 1 m i 1 HI Beeway and Plain Sections, Unfolded. corners where folded Ihev nre stronger. (.'t> Some markets, being accustomed to the larger cases necessary to contain a given number of beeway sections, object to the smaller package containing the same number of plain sections, simply because It is smaller. Unfavorable Soils. v lay soils are unfavorable to vegeation because the soil is too close and adhesive to allow the free passage of air or water to the roots of the plants. It also obstructs the expansion of the fibres of the roots. Sandy soils are unfavorable because the* consist of particles that have too little adhesion to each other. They do not retain sui ftcient moisture for the nourishment of the plants They allow too much solar heat to pass to the roots. Chalk soils are unfavorable becauso they do not absorb the sclar heat, and are. therefore, cold to the roots of the 1 plants. Indicates Sour Soil. If any one of the several kinds of sorrel is found growing on a piece of land it is pretty safe to asaume that the soil is sour and needs sweetening with an application of lime, Hesides this, ic may be that the traot Is not properly drained, in which case it should be tiled in additiou to being, sweetened I I M0LAS9?S FOR DAIRY COWS!

LEUTZ.) t_ s._? ? . a. uiuic iiiuiassvs i? uc mg iea in tne north than ever before, but most dairy j farmers are not vet satisfied that it is profitable. In an experiment at the Hatch station. Prof. J. B. Lindsey says: "Molosses contains about o per cent, of protein and 70 per cent, of digestible sugar. "Compared with corn meal." says Prof. Lindsey, "it equals substance pound for pound in results obtained in feeding milch cows, but when fed to hsrses they do not seem to be quite equal to the same weight of corn and oats. "It is estimated that corn meal at $1.20 per hundred pounds, molasses would be worth about $1 per hundred pounds. Its quoted price in Boston is 12 cents per gallon by the barrel and 8 t? per gallon in 10 barrel lots. "A gallon weighs about 12 pounds, so that at present relative prices the molasses would be a little cheaper feed than corn meal. "A good point with the molasses is that it is agreeable to stock and makes then always ready to eat such substances as cut corn stubble, malt sprouts, distillery feeds, etc., when mixed with the molasses. "A serious objection is that molasses is not very convenient stuff to handle and attracts flies in summer. "As a mixture with high grade protein foods, I suggest one-third distillery grains, one-sixth cotton seed meal, one-half molasses, or one-third malt sprouts, one-third gluton-meal and one-third molasses. "For working horses, nine pounds ol provender and mo quart of molasses, or twelve pounds of provender and three pints of molasses, or for hardworking horses substitute one-halt pound dry blood or one pound cotton seed oil or linseed meal in place of an equal quantity of provender.

Carden Farm Notes Don't try to save money by buying: cheap seed. Farm tests are worth more than all the theories. Deep plowing 1b necessary to get the best results. Don't sow alfalfa seed on very recently plowed land. There never were better opportunities in vegetable garden than today. Cabbage growing for kraut factories is a peculiarly uncertain business. Build a silo and save much of the fodder that wduld otherwise go to waste. Watch your machinery for Ioobo bolts and nuts, and don't forget the oil can. A half crop of corn can be turned into live-sixths of a crop by saving the fodder. Two of the best acreage saving money-making propositions up to the farmers today are silage and alfalfa. Don't plant the large varieties of cucumbers. expecting to raise as many as if the cluster kind were used Salsify or vegetable oyster should be left in the ground the saint; as parsnips. Freezing improves it. Thick neck onions art; usually seen during such seasons as have wet weather at the usual time of ripening Although there is little data on the subject, alfalfa silage of good rjualify would certainly make an excellent hog feed.

Conn.- Stolen liniburger cheese put the police on the scent of a burglar the other day and as a result Hans Herrmann, twenty-two, was locked up at police headquarters charged with having burglarized two clothing stores and a delicatessen store of money and articles worth $:too. After the burglaries were reported to the police in the morning. Detective Darker was assigned to the cases. He found the muddy Imprint of a shoe on a piece of white cloth under a window through which the night, prowler had entered one of the clothing stores and he took measurements of this. The detective, however, found his best clue in the delicatessen stor* where he learned the loot had ivic.luded several pounds of llmburger cheese. The sleuth was soon on the trail of several persons known to have a fondness for limburger cheese, but failed to secure evidence to connect an> of thorn with the burglaries Late in the afternoon the detective learned a man was eating some odorous cheese In the railroad yards. Darker hastened there and found Herrmann enioving a luncheon of llmburger cheese and crackers. The youth insisted he bought tlie cheese, hut he was arrested. When searched a large chunk of lira burger cheese was found in his pocket. Herrmann, the police say, later admitted he robbed flu* delicatessen store, but denied he made the other ntries.
