My work keeps me standing on my feet all day and the hou?s are long. Some months ago it didn t seem as though I could stand it. I would get so dreadfully tired and my back ached so I wanted to scream with the pain. When I got home at night I was so worn out I had to go right to bed, and I was terribly blue and downhearted. I was irregu lar and the flow was scanty, and I was pale and had no appetite. Itold a girl friend who was taking your medicine how I felt, and she said I ought to take it too. So I got a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkhum's Vege table Compound and commenced to take it. It helped me right off. After the first few doses menstruation started and was fuller than for Borne time. It seemed to lift a load oS me. My back . stopped aching and I felt brighter than I had for months. I took three bottles in all. Now I never have an aehc or pain, and I go out after work and have a good time. I am regular and strong and am thankful to you for the change. " I recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound when ever I hear of a girl suffering, for I know how haixl it is to work when you leel bo sick." Mis3 Mamik Keirns, 653 9th Ave., New York City.

TOPICS OF HiTZREZT TO THEPLAS7P,, 5T0CK.UA.1t AND WJCX CnOWZH. I.Ivm Klurk In llin Moulti. One of the di.-tlnrt ndvnnlat'es for the South In th" live Htuck business Is the nhuiHhincc and tdieapness if tin' hinds KUltalile for pa.Ntiuvs, meadews tu;d cultlvntion. The hli:d of cattle to rnise Is often a perplexing problem, but can be ns easily settled ns nny other business proposition. Cattle ni'e bred for spe cial purposes. :i!id knowing the object you h;ie l:i vh w it i. simply a ques tion of deciding what lireed will accom plish th:it object. The proposition Js not so ensy fur those v. ii.) already have cattle on band and decide W change breeds. The- Meat bulk of cattle now on the Southern farms are of the milk breeds with more Jersey blood than liny Other. The Jersey is possibly the extreme dairy typj and corresponding ly farthest from what is denied hi n pure beef herd. When it is desired to change either a pure bred, grade or t erub herd into n beef herd it is best to la-in with tin? bull. Decide on the breed preferred, but a registered bull, nnd use him exclusively in breeding all cows for two years; then soil hlni nnd p;et a new one of the same breed ns a bull should never be bred to bis own calves. Nearly all Southern cattlemen are wedded to the idea that a cow must be milked, aud on small farms it Is economical to do so. Therefore it is desirable to select a beef herd that are lair milkers, and the Shorthorns till the bill nicely. The dual purpose breeds, such as the lied Tolls and Devona, may sr.it others bitter, but for the large farm, where tho cows are to simply raise tlieir calves and put nil tneir iooii into beef the Ilerefords nnd Aberdeen Angus are ppecdally desirable. It should be remembered that any regis tered bull bred c:i common or grade cows will mark three-fouvths"or more of the calves after his type, and the more ne differs from the cows in shape, size and color the mere distinctly will he ma-rk his calves. This has been demonstrated over and over with the black polled Angus bulls bred on the light colored, thin horned cows so com mon in this f-eetion. In some cases nine-tenths of the calves come black, have no horns and show distinctly the thick-set. bloeky, beef type in the first cross. Tho lJouuio Manuaru roiieu Durhams belong in the snnii class as Shorthorns, and have tho additional ad vantage of being polled. Southern Cul tivator. Coop With Oovprml Tim. Those who have raised chickens know that one of the troubles with which they have to contend is keeping the little ones from being drowned by the hard anel frequent tliowers of the spring. Where brooders are used this trouble is obviated, but, on tho other hand the chicks ouht to be given 6ome of the freedom of out doors as early as posible, so that cvn brooder raised chicks ought to have a run in the open air. The illustration shows a design for a coop with a covered run attached which will prevent any trouble with the chicks. This ruu may be made so ns to attach it to the coop when desired, and may be of any de sired dimensions. It consists simply of a light frame covered with muslin. the frame being built on a slant in the way shown iu the cut. By having hooks at each corner nnd eyes screwed into the corners of the coop, this frame may be attached In a moment. If the day looks stormy, simply attach this covered run to the coop, and you -will then be certain that no harm will come to the chicks should a sudden and hard shower come up. Uniting Clitclcpiift. Having raised chickens for ovar forty years, I have learned something about the business. I lost whole broods in my earlier days by feeding soft food and letting them run on damp or xvet ground tvhde young. I seldom lor,e any now. When about thirty-six hours old tney negin to picic about lor some thing; then I boil an egg or eggs, r cording to tuc number; hoil fifteen or twenty minutes, so they are solid to the core, take out of the shell, put in a tea cup and cut tho egg line with a sharp knife about the sir,? of wheat grains; drop some on a clean board or paper, and they will begin to eat; they prefer that to anything. Feed the eggs two or three days, alternating wi;h dry bread crumbs, or mix the bread and eggs. When a week old feed sma'l wheat and cracked corn. Tha corn should be ground about the size, cf shot sifting the Hue out through an ordinary meal sieve. It is handy to feed and does not scour tho chicks' like soft feed. Once in two or three days n soft feed can be given by rc-alding bran and meal to a stiff dough; season with r. LUUe fcult and pepper, feed ccol acu ML J crumbly. They a crumbly state lik. or curded mill: in iu.nl.' Into butch cheese. As soon ns the chicks will drink, keep wattr before them, A iruit can Willi a hole In the side to get tiieir heads In makes a good fountain: best to have top covered s they will net tumble in. Milk instead of water is relished, boat forget -,it; keep It be fore them. Occasionally cut some green cabbage, onions, etc., or a sod of; grass will MKin disappear.

Hunt, in The Epltomlst. Th l'OMllilMli, of T rrisaitinit. If it is possible to put. a suliieiont supply of water on to a garden spor it would be an experiment well worthy any farmer's trial, even 1!" it involves considerable labor and seme expenditure in arranging to get the water on the land. A rich garden spot with ample water will produce enormous yields. The production of some of the Western farms, under Irrigation, is simply fabulous. If it is concluded to try the experiment of watering a one-fourth or one-half acre patch, a little different treatment may bo accorded the soil than where the natural rainfall is to be depended upon. In the first place the ground should be made as rich as possible, for If the water supply Is good there will bo no danger of burning tiie crops. In con nection with the application of fertil izers and manures, tiie ground should be plowed to an extreme ibpth. It would be a good idea to subsoil the land: if a subsoil plow is not available, follow nn eight or ten inch furrow with a heavy bull tongue, loosening up the ground to a depth oi! from twelve to sixteen inches. It will take some little experimentation and experience to become a successful irrigator, oven on the scale of one-half an aero, but the yield which can be produced will more than pay for all the work and trouble. The only question should be, Is there an available water supply? It can be depended upon that an acre will re quire eighteen inches and probably two feet of water two acre feet that is. the land will have to be covered over two feet deep with Avater during the growing Farmer. season. Tha Progressive So.!b tloatiK v. Corn. One of the largest soja bean grow ers In Virginia gives the following strong reasons as to why he plants a larger acreage in soja beans than in corn: "Soja beans are far better for pro ducing milk and butter than corn. 'Soja beans make a larger yield and cost less per acre to grow than corn. "Soja beans are nothing like so hard on land nnd will make n good crop where corn will be almost a failure. "Soja beans are very rich in oily mat ter and are far superior In feeding qualities to cottonseed meal for stock. "There has never ecn a year yet when Koja beans have l.ot been readily salable at much higher prices than corn." The above experience Is fully con firmed by letters from" large soja bean growers, and by every Southern farmer who has bad any extended experience with soja beans. , Plant soja beans between the middle of April and middle of May for Lest res.ults.

This belvg a farming coun'' t evouid appear that some of the dai: us done by farmer's dogs, as mostf of them keep one. I do not think any farmer who owns ftock sliould be without a dog. He should be treated well nnd put up nights. Any dog is liable to join other dogs straying about. That Is when the mi-:chief is done. A dog that would hot touch a sheep when alone, -will often help others.

Farmers are becoming more .pro gressive, and are also beglnnh; to work cn more scientific line?. A,'t iiftry of tho experiment stations the sons of farmers are taking special coun-es in agriculture, with the result that they become larg.dy instrumental in Improv ing farm methods in their communities when they return to tJieir homes. Tho period has passed for expressions of contempt for the theoretical farmer, 113 theory and practice have demonstrat' by actual tests that no advance can made by practical effort alone, theoretical farmer may have boon 1 iug in skill when handling the in the use of ether Implements ;v lis theories may aleoliavo failed, bui 30 aimed for something nelter and be came an educator of others.

Some of them aave gone into bankruptcy because ol .uawieo expenditure in tlieir .efforts tc ' lo more than others, but they left tiieii ielghlors better off, and also better supplied with live stock nnd mo-e fer tile farms'.
