When You
Of the pain -which many women experience with every
month it makes the gentleness and kindness always associ
ated with womanhood seem to be almost a miracle.
While in general no woman rebels against what she re
gards as a. natural necessity there is no woman who would
sot gladly be free from this recurring period of pain.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes
weak women strong and sick women
well, and gives them freedom from pain.
It establishes regularity, subdues intlanu
mation, heals ulceration and cures e
male weakness.
Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter,
A... All rnrresnondence strictlv nrivate and sacredly
confidential. Write without fear and without fee to World's Dispensary Med
ical Association, R. V. Pierce, M. D., President, Buffalo, N. Y.
If you want a book that tells all about woman's diseases, and how to cure
fhem at home, send 21 one-cen stamps to Dr. Pierce to pay cost of mailing
enly, and he will send you a free copy of his great thousand-page illustrated
Common Sense Medical Adviser revised, up-to-date edition, in paper covers.

SAN DIEGO AND YUMA
RAILROAD
Notwithstanding the hot sum
mer season, it appears that work
is progressing continuously in
the construction of the SanDiego
and Yuma railroad. While con
struction is supposed to be under
way at the west end, it appears
from the following clipping
from the Los Angeles Times
ihat another force is working
westwardly from El Centre
The Tiroes says:
"A mile and a half of the San
Diego & Arizona railroad has
been laid west from El Centro,
and while the creffs are awaiting
needed nutlocfcs, the crew are
"half-tying the trackage laid.
The itirst of next week ihtely
more men are to be placed onSl7)al piles or cocks to dry out
the work, and the prospect rs
that the trackage to New river
will be completed and in readi
ness for operation by the Holton
Interim-baa jailroad by the first
of July. Cribbing has- been
placed ats the various canal
crossings and piles- have been
drivea" Sor 1he first permanent
canal crossing."
Milo Good for Dairy
Milo can take the place of corn
. in feeding dairy cowsr and will
'yield anjaverage of twice as much
grain an-acre as co-rn in dry re
gions. In seasons so dry that
corn will' be a total failure eHo
will usually yield u5 teen bushels
of grain or more per acre.
The beads' of milo may be
snapped from, the stalks and fed
to cows giving milk. This rs an
economical way to feed this
grain, as a cow has- ts chew a
head a coneiderabie tpme before
she is satisfied to swallow it, and
tke more she chews it the better
it will digest.
The whole heads may be
ground without threshing, and
the small stems that boM1 the
seeds-formr when ground, a good
material for diluting the meal
and making it more easily di
gested. The -threshed grarn may be
ground before feeding. It does
not pay to feed unground thresh
ed grain,, as the cotf chews the
whole grain but little before
swallowing it, and a large pro
portion passes into the manure
andigested.
Cow Peas a Great Crop
Some varieties of cow peas
Siave upright, bushy forms of
growth; some trail along on the
ground like vines The pods
-yary in ieragth from 4 to 12. inch
es. The colors are as various as
those of the rainbow white,
xed, greeen, brown, pink, purple,
"5lackT mottled.
In shape they also differ;
some are round, others fiat or
kidney shaped.
The time for maturing ranges
irom sixty days to three or fosr
months. Time for sowing any
time after the ground becomes
warm will do. For early, about
May 20, and for the late fall uses,
about the middle of July, in lati
tude 41 degrees. This latter

should be of the later
sowing
sort.
Drilling the seed is preferable
After corn is laid by cow peas
arc drilled in between rows and
they will yield a tine pasture for
stock after the corn is gathered.
When drilling for this purpose
the later kind are best.
Three pecks to the acre for
this work. Peas should be sown
'not over 3 inches deep and the
soil must be dry and warm.
When drilled for hay any after
culture aids very much in the
yield.
When the peas begin to show
signs of ripening, by the pods
and foliage beginning to turn
yellow, we mow for hay.
Let the vines remain as cut for
at least twenty-four hours to
cause wilting and throw into
thoroughly.
They should not be drawn in
for several days if weather will
allow.
After hay is well cured it may
be drawo to the baru or shed.
If the trailing sort is planted
care must be taken in stacking,
that good ventilation is given to
prevent mold.
A good stand will yield from
one and one-half to two tons per
acre.
In the north it is a valuable
drought resisting plant and will
grow where almost any other
plant would perish.
Many farmers save only seed
sufficient for their own use, as
the labor is tedious.
The pods are picked by hand,
or vnhea- the bush sort is grown
the olant is Dulled and sorted
away until some convenient-time
when, they are threshed out with
a flail or by machine.
If the trailing sort is wanted
the vines are mowed and treated
as above. Some wastage occurs
!jin this method, but this can be
utilized in pasturing afterward.
Green cow pea hay is far more
nutritious than red clover and
contains less dry matter .for total
weight than any of the grasses
or clover.
When pf anted tor green ma
nuring it is advisable to turn
hogs or any stock into the fields
about the time "the pods are ri
pening.
Hogs, especially young pigs,
thrive on the succalent growth
and the Quality of the meat
is
very superior.
An acre of cow peas will pas
ture eigteen or twenty hogs sev
eral weeks. The worst draw
back is the first cost of the seed,.
but when once you have started
their growing you can save your
own seed at half of hrst cost.

Nogales' Custom Receipts
During May
The customs receipts for the
Arizona 'district at the port o
f
Nogales for the month
reached the high water
58,000, the heaviest
of May
mark of
month's
lusim ss ever done in
of entry.
This figure shows an increase
of nearly GO per cent over the
previoua month's receipts, which
was one of the banner months.
The receipts for the present fis
cal year, which will end June 30,
have already exceeded the previ

per cent and the receipts for
May are still to be added.
The heavy cattle shipments
from Mexico to the United States
are chiefly' responsible for the
excellent showing made this last
year, although exports of all
kinds from our neighboring-republic
have been on the increase.
The Mexican importation of
American goods has been very
heavy also during this period,
and our manufacturers are stead

Lesson in Intensive Farming by
R H. Forbes, Director and
Chemist of Agricultural
Experiment Station
University of Arizona,
January 15. 1!)07.
.Inst west of Yuma. Arizona, in the alluvial
flood-plain of the Colorado, lies a lit tle farm
of 7.52 acres wuicn on May i, ifiw, was vixki
ltnttnmlnnil. covered wi h saltweed. arrow-
brush and creosote bushes. The original
nurnose of the tract was for planting selected
varieties 01 uaws paims iiiipuricu miw v.

World. The Experiment station, May 2, be
gan preparing the ground, anu on uiy .m ihu
work of levelling, bordering and Irrigating
the tract and the planting or i.tj pauiis, was
completed.
TIIK "LAN OF WORK
Rpon-rjii7.in!r. however, that a farmer with
his livintr to make meantime, cannot afford"
to wait for an orchard to come into oeanng,
It. w.'is manned to plant crops for quick
turns between the tree-rows, thus putting the
work on a feasible basis from the small farm
er's point of view- Jn order to economize
ground the irrigating borders were so placed
as to coincide with the rows or palms, thus
iit.ili7.incr snar.e otherwise usually wasted.
The tract was divided by the borders into

Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of
what was nicknamed our play larm."
In size, as well as in the intensive character
of the work planned, this farm" is the op
posite of the average holdings or tins locality.
The nrevalllmr crops of the region are alfalfa
corn, bailey, and forages in general, compara
tively little attention being given to vege
tables and frails. Withal, the cost of levelling
land in this region is high, rarely falling be
low twenty dollars an acre at current prices
for labor and teams. Moreover, the cost,, ex
clusive of maintenance, of the Governniont
irrigating system now under construction
will be about S3.50 an acre annually for ten
Jears. To meet tlie.se and other heavy Hems
