One day, when he seemed to be

exclaimed:
“It seems you are never able to an

Why?”
“If I knew all the things you ask

Is it possible there is a woman in this country who con
tinues to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound a trial after all the evidence that is con
tinually being published, which proves beyond contradic
tion that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffer
ing among women than any other one medicine in the world ?
We have published in the newspapers of the United States
tnore genuine testimonial letters than have ever been pub
lished in the interest of any other medicine for women—
and every year we publish many new testimonials, all gen- d
nine and true. Here are three never before published:

after my baby was bom and inflammation set in, then nervous pros

HORSES AND MULES IN THE COTTON BELT
Champion Belgian Stallion.
(Prepared by the U. S. Department of Ag
riculture.)
The destruction of horses in the
countries now at war is enormous, and
when peace is declared and for many
years thereafter there will no doubt
be a great demand for horses for agri
cultural and othef^ work. The farmer
who has surplus horses at that time
will be in a position to obtain good
prices.
The United States department of
agriculture has recently distributed
throughout the cotton belt informa
tion regarding horse and mule raising
in the South, which should be of use
to cotton growers whose crop has
been affected by the present crisis,
and who now wish to diversify their
farming because of this. These farm
ers are advised particularly to keep
their best mares to work on the farm
and raise colts at the same time. They
will then be able to raise horses for
their own work as well as to take ad
vantage of the home and foreign mar
kets.
Many brood mares are overworked,
while many others are kept too close
ly confined. The mare may be safely
worked to within two weeks of foaling
if good care is used to see that she
is not overworked or injured in some
other way. It is not unusual for
mares which have been worked to the
date of foaling to foal successfully. It
... i. i ...-.——■i. •

is safer, however, gradually to dimin
ish the work so that during the last
few weeks only the lightest kind of
work is done.
If pasture is available, the mare
may be turned out about two weeks
before foaling. If pasture is not avail
able, she should be given a good
roomy box stall. There need be no
radical change in the feed, except that
the ration of the mare should be
lightened shortly before foaling and
made more laxative. For this purpose
an addition of bran and a decrease of
other grain feeds is very satisfactory.
When the mare is again put to work
the foal may either be left in the
stable or allowed to follow. If left
in the stable, it will be necessary to
return the mare in the middle of the
forenoon and likewise in the after
noon for the colt to suck. Never allow
the foal to suck when the mare is
very warm, for the milk at that time
is quite apt to cause digestive disor
ders in the colt. The foal should be
allowed access to the dam’s grain in
order that it may learn to eat as
soon as possible. The foal may be
weaned at six months of age, and if
it has previously been eating grain,
no great setback will occur. The mare
can usually be bred with greater cer
tainty of success on the ninth day
after foaling than at any subsequent
date.
Care of the Foal After Weaning.
As exercise is of prime importance
for the proper development of young
animals the foal should have pasture
or a paddock in which to exercise. Ac
cess to a barn or shed should be pro
vided as a pjotection against storms.
The feed of the foal may be similar
to that which the mare was receiving
before the foal was weaned. The
weaned foal should have two to three
pounds of grain per day and what
hay it will eat. A grain mixture con
sisting of two parts of ground oats,
two parts of corn meal and one part
of wheat bran, by weight, may be fed.
If oats and bran are not available a
mixture consisting of seven parts corn
meal and one part cottonseed meal
may be substituted. ‘ All of the legu
minous hays, if of a good quality, such
as alfalfa clover, and cowpea hay, are
good for the foal. As the foal becomes
older a more liberal grain ration
should be provided.* A yearling foal,
to grow properly, will need four or five
pounds of grain per day in addition
to what hay will be eaten.
There is no single factor in agricul
tural production on the average farm
that is of greater importance than
good horse or mule power. This pow
er can usually be furnished more
cheaply by the production of needed
animals in that particular locality
than by purchasing them from remote
localities. In home production there
Is also the added advantage of pos
sessing animals which are thoroughly
acclimatized. Therefore If you are
the owner of a good mare do not fail
to breed her either to a good stallion
or a good jack.
If the mare is of the light type,
breed her to a good stallion of one
of the light breeds; and if of a draft
type, breed her to a draft stallion.
The progeny of a light mare bred to a
draft stallion or of a draft mare to
a light stallion is usually a nondescript
that is not fitted to any particular
field and will not command the price
of either a high-class light or a high
class draft horse. By the light type
is meant horses of the Standardbred,
Thoroughbred, American Saddle, and
similar breeds; by the draft type is
meant horses of the Percheron, Bel
gian, Shire, Clydesdale and similar
breeds. In breeding to a jack, mares
of almost any kind may be used if
sound, the best mules, as a rule, be
ing produced from the mares with the
most weight and finish. The produc
tion of inferior animals of any kind is
seldom profitable.

following bulletins:

WATER GLASS AND ITS USE
Solution of Sodium Silicate Is Excel
lent for Preservation of Eggs—
Liquid Form Best.
(By CHARLES E. FRANCIS, Oklahoma
Experiment Station.)
The chemical name for water glass
is sodium silicate or silicate of soda.
It may be obtained in a granular or
powdered form and as it is somewhat
difficult to get into solution I would
advise the liquid form which may be
obtained for about fifty cents a gal
lon.
This is a strong solution, 40-42 de
grees, about the consistency of mo
lasses.
The following formula may be used
for preserving eggs: To ten quarts of
water which has been boiled and
cooled add one pint of water glass
and stir thoroughly.
Place the solution in a jar or tub
and add the fresh eggs in sufficient
quantity to have at least two inches
of the solution above the eggs. This
quantity should be sufficient for about
five dozen eggs.
Water glass may be bought from
any of the large drug firms.
REDUCE THE COTTON ACREAGE
Everybody Should Raise All the Hay*
Corn, Forage Crops and Garden
Truck Needed by Family.
There is one easy, simple and ef
fective way to reduce the cotton acre
age-—everybody plant enough land to
raise all their hay, corn, forage crops
and garden truck. Keep enough
* chickens and hogs to supply the table
with eggs and meat, also raise and
fatten one or more beef animals. With
a few or many acres devoted to these
crops there will be less acres to plant
in cotton and less need of it, for the
family living is largely provided for.
There will be several million bales
of cotton to carry over, and if the
usual acreage is planted the price of
cotton will continue low and the cost
of living high. Let the South raise
her own food supplies and the cotton
problem will be solved.

WISDOM IN HIS JUDGMENT
Rabbi's Decision Worthy of Any of
Those That Have Been Cred
ited to Solon.
Many of^he best stories among the
Jews are told about rabbis who were
called in to render decision in diffi
cult disputes. These decisions are at
times as crafty as those of the ancient
Solon.
A rich Jew, lying on his deathbed,
sent for his brother.
“Brother,” he said, “I am dying. I
leave $50,000, and I desire you to dis
pose of my fortune as I instruct you.
Give my wife as much as you want
and keep the remainder for yourself.”
He died soon after, and after divid
ing the fortune the brother kept $40,
000 and gave the remaining $10,000
to the widow and her children. The
widow, not satisfied with this amount,
complained to the rabbi (who always
appears in the role of the widow’s
protector). The rabbi ordered the
brother to appear before him.
“You have disobeyed your brother’s
dying wish,” said the rabbi.
“Not at all,” replied the brother.
“He told me to give his widow as
much as I wTant and to keep the rest
for myself.”
“Precisely,” responded the rabbi.
“You took $40,000 and gave the widow
$10,000. Therefore, you wanted $40,
000. Did not your brother say, ‘Give
my wife as much as you want’?
Therefore, I order that you give her
$40,000. Furthermore, did not your
brother say: ‘Keep the remainder’?
Therefore I order you take $10,000.
1 have judged. Begone!”
There Are Chances and Chances.
Walter L. Ball, a Muncie attorney,
former state senator, says that one
day when he was in his early law
practice he was called on to look after
the defense of a negro client. Not
desiring his efforts to be entirely
wasted, he asked of his client: “What
do you think my services are worth?”
“Well, they’re worth just as much
as my chances of getting away,” was
the reply.—Indianapolis News.

A counterfeiter was once walking
along a lonely side street wThen he
was stopped by a bold, bad robber.
The robber presented a large open
faced revolver and demanded coin. He
got It—about two gallons of lead dol
lars fresh from his victim’s private j
mint.
Next day the robber bought himself
au automobile pistol of the latest de
sign, a weapon which he had long cov
eted. He paid for the gun out of the
proceeds of his latest haul and was
immediately haled before a magis
trate and sent up for a long term of
years for counterfeiting.
