After Long Suffering Mrs. Siefert

Pottsville, Pa.—"I suffered with
female trouble for four or five years and
woo YU(y uic^uitu.
I was not fit to do
my work at timea
and took medicine
from a doctor and
got no benefit. I
saw Lydia E. Pink

Compound adver
tised in the news
papers and took it
and got all right. I
gained twenty
Dounds or more and
am now able to do my work. I recom
mend the Vegetable Compound to my
friends and you may use these facts as a
' testimonial.’—Mrs. Sallie Siefert,
3X3 W. Fourth Street, Pottsville, Pa.
The everyday life of many housewives
is a continual struggle with weakness
and pain. There is nothing more wear
ing than the ceaseless round of- house
bold duties and they become doubly hard
when some female trouble makes every
bone and muscle ache, and nerves all on
edge.
' If you are ope of these women do not
suffer for four or five years as Mrs.
Siefert did, but profit bv ner experience
and be restored to health by Lydia E.

He waited hopefully for, the reply
which should open up further con
versation between them.
The fair one was slightly bored.
Her answer came In a perfectly modu

it until you spoke, but it Is as true
today as it was then. He usually Is

THREATEN CHOPS
IN MANY STATES
Vigorous Measures Against At
tack of Chinch Bugs Are
Urged by Federal Bureau.
MISSOURI REPORTS OUTBREAK
8e\ere Infestations in Central Missis.
•ippi Valley Region From Texas
Northeasterly to Illinois
-'•y. and Michigan.
(Prepare# by .the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.) %
Energetic measures against the
chinch bugs which threaten injury not
only to the wheat and rye crops of
Missouri but’ to corn as well are
urged by the bureau of entomology,
United States Department of Agricul
ture! in .view of reports of an impend
ing outbreak qf the pest in that state.
Widespread and severe Infestations
of the pest are reported in the whole
central Mississippi valley region,
starting in northern Texas and ex-,
tending in a northeasterly direction
over Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri,
touching ^Nebraska, and extending
across Illinois and Indiana into Mich-,
igan.
Generally Distributed Through State.
The chinch bugs, latest advices say,
have had a mild winter and are gen
erally distributed throughout the
Missouri wheat and rye fields, breed
ing in considerable numbers in the
St. Louis neighborhood early in May.
The fanners, It is said, have been
watching the pest more closely than
usual this spring, but all of them do
not know yet that there is danger that
their corn may be damaged worse
than normal last year. Wheat is
likely to ripen one or two weeks
earlier this year, and tlje rains have
delayed the planting of corn.
. The bugs are certain to migrate
when the wheat ripens and the corn
will be so backward that damage by
tlie bdgs is likely to be very severe.
It is well to expect the bugs to hegin
migrating to com as soon as the wheat
butts begin to harden into maturity
ten days before the heads are ripe.
Any barrier work or creosote repeilant
line work should begin as the bugs
will migrate in increasing numbers as
the wheat stalk ripens upward. The
binder will shake loose those not al
ready out and stragglers will continue
to migrate in serious numbers for five

to fifteen days after harvest. Bar
riers, therefore, must be maintained
from the time of migration until pos
sibly _.two or three weeks have elapsed.
Sow a Trap Crop.
, It will be found of much value to
sow two drill widths of millet between
corn and the nearby fields of wheat
umi rye. The more quickly* this is
done the better, so as to make as good
growth as possible of this trap crop
before the bugs attack it. When the
bugs have migrated into the trap
crop it should be plowed seven or
ipore inches deep. Cr.re tipis t be
taken to plow deeply and Well, then
to pack the ground with a drag or i
harrow or roller. Little time or work
Is required to make this strip and the

That boys and girls can demon

conclusively by reports of the work
done by Pennsylvania clubl members
Pig-Club Member* Exhibiting Their
Prize Pigs at State Fair,
in 1920. Statistics of pig-club mem
bers muy be ; taken as an example.
It Is estimated by men who know
something about the swine industry
In this state that the average daily
gain of all hogs in the state—good,
bad. and indifferent—Is about one
half pound per day. How do you
think the club records compare with
that? Guess before you read on.
Club members in the pig-feeding
club (producing pork) made, their pigs
gain 1.19 pounds, while those raising
gilts to breed put 1.12 pounds per day
on their pigs. . That was a good dem
onstration that good pigs, properly
fed and eared for, will do much bet
ter than common stock with ordinary
care. It pays, too, for the better re
sults can be obtained on the same
amount of feed. * ,
Itobert Webster of the Huntersville
Pig-Feeding club, Lycoming county, is
the state pig-club champion as far as
gain per day is concerned. Robert
fed a purebred Poland China pig,
which gained 2.43 pounds per day.
That pig surely did make a hog out
of himself, didn’t he?
WATER OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
—--- i
Big Factor in Development of Poultry
on Free Range—Adequate
Supply Needed.
The watering of the free range poul
try is an Important factor in their de
velopment. Allowing birds to be with
out water for a few hours on a hot
summer day will seriously injure them
and retard growth. The water supply
must be adequate.
TOWN HAS PUREBREDS ONLY
Ohio Township Is 100 P«r Gent on
Right Side—No Grade or Scrub
fires to Be Found.
The township of Jackson, in Hardin
county, Ohio, is entirely free from
grade and scrub sires. In notifying
the United States Department of Agri
culture of this fact, Prof. John W.
Wulchet of the Ohio agricultural ex
tension service, adds, “This is the first
township which has come to our atten
tion that we feel satisfied is 100 per
cent on the right side. No sire was
considered purebred unless it could be
proved that its sire and dam were
registered.”
The survey of slre3 included the
principal classes of live stock, except
poultry, and was made for advance
credit by a student in the college of
agriculture. The survey showed that
the township included 165 .arms, on
which were 21 purebred boars, 26
purebred rams, 6 purebred reef bulls,
8 purebred dairy bulls, and 2 purebred
stallions. No. grade or scrub sires of
any kind were found in the township.
