" Pain in the head and hack " is a form
of suffering with which so many women
arc familiar. Often this paiti is asso
ciated with nervousness, sleeplessness
and loss of appetite. The cause of such
suffering is generally to tie traced to
derangement of the womanly function,
or a diseased condition of the delicate
womanly organs.
In such cases the action of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is marvelous in
the prompt relief of pain and permanent
cure of disease. It regulates the peri
odic function, dries disagreeable drains,
heals inflammation and ulceration, and
cures female weakness. It cures when
all other means have been tried in vain.
Sick women are invited to consult I)r.
Pierce, by letter, free . All correspond
ence is held as strictly private and
sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. \ .
Pierce, Buffalo, N. V.
In a little over thirty years Dr. Pierce,
assisted by his staff of nearly a score of
physicians, lias cured more than half a
million women.
"I was a great sufferer for six years and doe
tored all the time with a number
physicians, but did
liffcrent
benefit,"
writes Mrs. George Sogdeti, of 641 Honda Street,
Saginaw (South), Mich. "One day as I was
reading a paper I saw your advertisement, and.
although I had given ui> all hope of ever getting
better, thought I would write to you. When I
received vour letter, telling nie wlmt to do, I
commenced to take vour ' Favorite prescrip
tion ' and follow your advice 1 have taken ten
bottles in all, also five vials of the ' Pleasant
Pellets ' Am now regular after having missed
two years and suffered with pain in the head
and back I was so nervous, could not eat or
sleep Now I thank you for my recovery,"

DEPTH OF CORN CULTIVATION.
The deep and shallow cultivation
of corn was discussed by western
farmers at length in the last special
farmers' institute edition of the
Live Stock Indicator, of Kansas,
City, Mo. As a brief summary of
the various papers published, it
was said :
Deep and shallow cultivation of
corn brings out a variuty of views, j
Those who favor the shallow me
thod are emphatic in their recoin
mendations of the common harrow,
both before and after the corn is
planted ; as it is claimed that no
implement will work greater de
lure is consumed Ht tin- sann' time.
In some cases the Intrrow is usetl
until the crop is six inches iii-rli
The main arguments given t'ot the
shallow cultivation are, that corn
roots arc not disturbed ; the surface
is left in much better condition for
the following crops; less horse
power is required, while the slml
low mulch is just as effective in
conserving moist tire. On the ot her
hand deep cultivation is claimed to
be better on rieh soils, on account
of the root pruning, checking the
growth of stem and leaves, causing
the production of grain. In wet
seasons deep cultivation is some
times essential in order to check
weed growth. All are agreed that
there is little danger of doing any
damage to roots when corn is
small.

A comtempory says you should

The purity of women is the salva

THI: KICr. ASSOCIATION.
The rice association, which was
organized for the purpose of better
introducing the cereal throughout
the country with u view of increas
ing the demand for the product, is
meeting with great success and ac
complishing incalculable good for
the industry. Very little of the
rice produced in this country is ex
ported, beyond, perhaps Mexico
and Central America, l 'util a few
years ago, rice, as :i table food,
was little known in the I'niteal
States outside of a few of the
Southern States where the article
was produced. In the past few
years, the production of rice in the
Southern States has multiplied one
hundred, and perhaps, five hun
dred-fold. The enormous increase
in production is creating a surplus -
in the crop for the distribution
and consumption of which new
fields and more consumers must be
found, and it is for the purpose of
exploiting the fields of the north
and east and of teaching tho be
nighted inhabitants thereof, to eat
this wonderful health and strength
producing food, that tho Rice As
sociation was called into existence.
Its work and progress, so far, have
been conductive of immense good
to the industry, a good which
promises to increase as its efforts
are extended, until the cereal as a
table food product becomes known
throughout the entire country nnd
the demand becomes equal to or
surpasses all that the South can
supply.

A NEW RICE.
Colonel S. P. B. Morse, repre
senting the Southern Pacific Kail
road company, is distributing for
the agricultural department of tho
United Stntes, 11 limited supply of
rice imported by Prof. S. A. Knapp
for the purpose of making a thor
ough test as to whether or not it
will prove a success in the rice
growing districts of Louisiana aual
Texas. The rico is of two varie
ties, known as late and early, and
was imported from Chiugoku and
Chikuzeu districts of Japan. Each
sack contains 50 pounds, ^sufficient
quantity to plant one acre. Mach
party to whom the rice has been
furnished is requested to make a
report of its progress on tho blank
form. It is thought that the Texas
field will produce a better grade of
rice from the above mentioned
samples than the countries from
whioh they were imported.— Hous
