writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman's
tonic. She says further: "Before I began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad. I
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mllL

111, 16—Commentary Prepared by
Rev. D. M. Stearns.
The event of tbla lesaon, the comlni
ef the Holy Spirit, waa on the, day ol
Fentecoat, or the fiftieth day after tb«
neurrectlon of Chrlat It waa fore
shadowed, aa waa all elae. In the law.
In Lev. ixlll there la a record of tb«
feasts of the I-ord (veraee 4, 44) Is
which anointed eyea may aee nil
death and resurrection, the coming ol
the Spirit and Ilia return In glory
When lie waa here In the daya of HU
flesh these feasts had become merelj
feasta of the Jewa with the Lord left
out, like much of the worahlp of todaj
■which la only outward form without
reality.
The passover typified the death ol
Chrtot, our paasover. The abeaf ol
first frulta on the morrow after th«
Sabbath clearly Indicates Uia resurroc
tion, Christ the first frulta. The otbai
first frulta fifty laya after the formet
eußsests the lesson of today, tb«
anointing of believers, the beginning
of the church story, and the feaat ol
tabernacle* poluta to Ilia coming again
la glory and the conversion of all I*
raeL There la great profit in a epeclal
study of all these. See bow *ln In
bellerer* la typified by the leaven to
the second first frulta (vera* 17). Re
turning to our leeaon, from which w«
wandered to Lev. ixlll because ol
the fiftieth day, note the expreealon
"with one accord" which, if I hav«
counted correctly, 1* uaed in Acti

11. 1, 48, and four time* of the enemlei

believers could be heartily of one ac

might be accomplished, aa when th«
disciples continued in prayer and aup

When the time wa* fully com* tlx

Woman Suffrage Move
ment a Fight For
Democracy
•By Ibe Rc*. JOHN HAYNES
HOLM S, New York City
THE hu IT rage movement is limply
one expression of the modern
fight for political and indus
trial democracy. It is one of the
last of the long aeries of battles for >
the complete emancipation of man
kind. In the case of this fight, as
in the case of every fi£ht for an ex- j
tensidn of democracy, the foes to be
fought and overcome are those of
ignorance, prejudice and selfishness.
Nothing, however, in the long
run can stop progress, the progress
of democracy, and nothing in the
long run can stop the triumph ofi
woman suffrage.
INDEED, IN-VIEW OF WHAT HAS,
BEEN ACCOMPLIBHED IN THE
LAST FIVE OR SIX YEARS, I AM
PERBUADED THAT THE FIGHT
FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE WILL BE I

1 1 ■
By C. C. COWSFIELD
' Hiimifinimiiiiini'
In the whole scheme of Intensive
fanning no feature deserves more at
tention than the silo. This method of
conserving feed wives a third of the
corn crop from waste and makes the
entire product pore palatable and nu
tritious thjui it would otherwise be.
No farmer who keeps cattle, hogs
and poultry, even In small numbers,
can sffonl to do without a silo. No
other tiystem of feeding Is so good for
maintaining the efficiency of a dairy
and keroliig a fairly even output of
milk sunftner and winter. A little farm
is helped to produce big resuits by the
use of sllsee. in fattening cattle, sheep
and bog*, as well as In milk produc
tion.
Silage saves acreage in the growing
crops. It saves acreage In the spring
by hsrlnz the stock in such good con
dition, (hut they do not need so much
pasture. The valne of silage for shm-
OOW8TBUOTI!fO ▲ CONOBITI SILO.
mer feeding of dairy cattle was long
since recognized. One of the most try
ing seasons of the year for the dairy
cow Is the latter part of summer and
early fall. At that season the pastures
are ofteii short or dried up, and in such
cases It Is a common occurrence for
dairymen to let their cows drop off in
flow of milk through lack of feed.
Later they And It Impossible to restore
the- normal inlllt flow, no matter how
the cows are fed. Good dairy practice
demands that the milk flow be main
tained at a high point all the time from
parturition to drying off. It becomes
neccss.iry, therefore, to supply some
thing to take the place of the grass.
The easiest way to do thla Is by means
of silage. It ltas been found by hun
dreds of dairymen that silage Is cheap
er and decidedly more convenient to
ase than soiling crops. The man with
a silo for summer use need never have
thin cattle, and In this way also silage
cheapens production, for It takes much
good feed to pat back flesh that has
been lost. It Is murh cheaper to keep
It than to rebuild it.
Calves- may be fed silage with safety
when they are about three or four
months old. After the calves are wean
ed they tuny be given about all the si
lage they will eat up clean, and If sup
plemented with some good hay little
grain Is required to keep the calve* in
a .thrifty, growing 'condition.
Silage has been found equally valua
ble for sheep feeding. Horses also like
silage, and It may profitably be fed to
them, though care must be taken that
there Is no mold In the silage. Even
the chickens like silage, and It may
well lie supplied them In winter when
other green feed Is scarce.
It may lie wondered why It Is-that
silage is so good for stock. In the first
place. It is made from one of the best
plants that grows at a time when it ts
at its most appetizing stage. In the
protros of siloing It ferments Just
enough to become a little acid. Aa onq
writer has stated it. "silage is a sort of
salad." There is as much difference
between dry com fodder or hay and
■llage as there Is between dried fruit
and fresh-fruit When * silo is first
opened it may be necessary to throw
away a foot or more of sour stuff on
(be top.
There are many dairymen who now
feed acres of buy and dry fodder every
winter to their cows who should cut
loose from their old methods. If they
only realized it they' cannot afford to
get along without tbe silo. The alio is
a winner coming and going. It helps
save on the cost of the feed and In
creases the amount of milk." For young
growing stock It seems Indispensable,
a* It greatly aids In keeping them in a
healthy condition, which Is necessary
In tbe development of a dairy cow.
The dally ration of a dairy ®w will
average about arty-five pounds. A cow
weighing 1.100 and yielding thirty to
forty pound* of milk every day should
hare upward of fifty pounds of feed
dally, as follows: Corn silage, thirty;
clover or alfalfa, ten; straw, five;
ground grain, bran and llnaeed or cot
tonseed meal, right to ten pounds. If
the owner can supply roots or beet pulp
tbe nmount of buy or straw may be cut
down a little. Bee that the animals eat
with relish and clean up their feed.
Extra large row* may require sixty
pounds of feed or more every day.
while "mull ones will thrive ou forty to
forty-five.
