COULDN'T EXPLAIN TERRIBLE ORDEAL Through Which She Had to Go. Everyone Who Saw Her Thought She Had No Chance. Carrsville, Ky. In advices from this town, Mrs. Hattie Cain says: "For 15 years, I was a great sufferer from womanly trouble, and would have to send for a doctor about every three months, and sometimes oftener. I cannot explain to you how dread fully, I suffered at these times. I would have convulsions, and it seemed that I would die. Everyone who saw me, thought there wasn't any chance for my recov ery. The doctor said he thought I should have an operation, but I couldn't con sent to that, so he said for me to try Cardui, the woman's tonic, as maybe It would help me. I began taking Cardui, and Oh! Such a surprise it was to me! The first bottle I took.s I knew it was the medi cine for me, for I began to mend right away. After taking nine bottles, my condl ,tlon was perfect. It has now been seven years since I was in such wretched health, and I can do more work, can walk and go where I please, and it doesn't hurt me. I owe all of this to Cardui. I have induced several of my neigh bors to take it and it worked like a charm." Give Cardui a trial for your troubles. N. B.

"Why, we discovered last evening that the day we have fixed for our wedding day is the day of the opening of the cricket season, and also there's a bargain sale on at one of the big shops." "And he wanted to change the date of the wedding?" "We both wanted to change it. He couldn't miss the opening game, and I couldn't dream of missing those bar gains." "Well, then, I" "But he wanted to have the wedding a day later, while it was I who sug gested having it a day sooner." RINGWORM SPREAD ON FACE Campbell, Va. "I have been trou bled with ringworm on tha right side of my face for six or eight years. It began with just very small pimples in spots and continued to spread more every year until it covered the right side of my face. It was red, rough and In circles, and itched and burned very much. It was sore when I scratched my face and it worried me so much I couldn't keep from scratching. It looked very bad; I would hate to go out while it was on my face. Every one noticed it and some would ask what it was. "I tried some home remedies before using Cuticura Soap and Ointment, such as , , and . I could only find temporary relief until I began to use Cuticura Soap and Oint ment.

Consumption of Grasshoppers Far Out weighs Harm Done to Other Birds and Beetles Capable of Doing Much Good. (By P. E. I, SEAL.) The southern butcher bird in some of its numerous formB, is found over much of the United States, and is especially common on the Pacific coast. All the forms retire southward at the approach of winter and in many localities are replaced during the cold season by the northern butcher bird, which comes down from the north and winters in the United States. The butcher bird resembles a bird of prey in form of beak and to a cer tain extent in food habits,, but it has no talons such, as enable the true birds of prey to seize their victim and hold it while tearing it to pieces For the Investigation of the food of the southern butcher bird 124 stom achs of the western sub-species were examined and 88 of the eastern. The western bird showed 2.5 per cent, of vegetable substances in their stomachs but the eastern ones 'contained noth ing but animal matter. The animal portion of the food of western butcher birds consists of 83 per cent, spiders and a few snails, 2 per cent, and ver- Southern Butcher Bird. tebrates 12 per cent. The stomachs of the eastern forms show 68 per cent., spiders 4 per cent., and verte brates 28 per cent. The difference is undoubtedly due to climate, the western bird being able to find insects all the year round. while the eastern one gets very few during the winter. While the southern butcher bird eats a few birds and some useful insects, its diet is on the whole very much in its favor, as the consumption of grasshoppers far outweighs thfe harm to birds and beetles. As a feature of the landscape, and as lend ing animation to rural scenes, the shrike, or butcher bird, in California is a pronounced success, and, while not so numerous in the east, it is just as attractive and is doing the same good by its food habits. A cow has a peculiarly sensitive and delicate organization. , Regularity should be the keynote of every successful dairy system. Make a study of foods, and feed a balanced ration. This will save waste. When cut in the milk and cured, the oat and pea hay is most palatable and nutritious. A good dairy cow should have all the feed 6he will eat and digest, and keep in good health. Successful dairying depends entire ly on right methods in breeding, feed ing and management. , The dairymen who are not success ful do not apply ordinary business principles to their calling. Success in dairy farming depends not only on good stock, but also on good common sense work. Stir the cream twice a day, using a long-handled spoon which will reach to the bottom of the cream jar. With good cows, good food, good stables, all profits can be wiped out by an Ignorant or cruel stable man. There may be occasional bad luck in the dairy business, but it almost in variably follows bad management. An exposed or an abused cow will give less milk, and that milk of a poorer quality, than one well cared for. It is a well known fact that tha cow that makes the largest profit is given the best care and most com fortable shelter. Heifers require a larger amount of feed for the production of a certain amount of milk than do older cows. They have to grow. The man with the hammer really Is engaged in a process of slow sui cide. And it isn't a happy death he is treating himself to, either. The demands of a cow are impera tive. The dairyman who consults his own convenience, and disregards the comfort of hia dairy herd, suffers loss. s FEEDING AND CARE OF GEESE 6ne of the Cheapest and Easiest of All Domestic Fowls to Raise Method of Management. Qeese are one of the cheapest and easiest of all domestic fowls to raise, says the Farm and Fireside. They re quire little shelter at any time, and if given plenty of pasture, will gather the largest portion of their food from the fields. They are very easily and quickly fattened for market and bring very good prices. This is the meth od for managing breeding and market geese: Never mate over two females to each gander. Never use females less than. two or ganders over four years of age. They are allowed to run in a pasture where they have plenty of grass to eat and water to swim in. In winter and during the laying season feed them lightly the following ration: Bran, four parts; shorts, two parts; cornmeal, one part; and in winter cut clover, steamed, four parts, is added. A goose will lay SO to 40 eggs in a season, If she is allowed to sit. The eggs require 30 days for incubation, and invariably natch well. Goslings are removed from the In cubators as soon as dry, and placed in brooders where the heat for the first 24 hours is 90 degrees. After the first 24 hours the heat Is reduced daily until the goslings are ten to fif teen days old. Beginning the third morning after hatching the goslings are fed as follows, four times daily, by measure: Bran, one part; rolled oats, one part; cornmeal shorts, one part. This mixture is dampened with skim milk until it will crumble. Grass, grit, and drinking water are always before them. Water is given in fountains, so they cannot get into it. They are fed as mentioned until they are eight weeks old, when those for market are closely confined to be fattened, and fed as follows, three times daily, all they will eat: Bran, two parts; shorts, one part; oil meal and beef scraps, one part; cornmeal, one part, dampened until it will crumble. Whole corn is frequently given. Green food, grit and water are always before them. FEEDING SILAGE IN SUMMER Missouri Expert Says It Is Cheaper Than Blue Grass Pasture Forma tion of Good Dairy Cow. Dean Mumford of the Missouri col lege of agriculture makes the state ment that cows can be maintained more cheaply on silage than they can be carried through the summer on blue-grass pasture where the , land costs about $100 per acre and is suit able for growing corn. He says that there is very little pasture land where a cow and a calf can be pastured on less than one and one-half acres, but it is entirely pos sible to get twelve and one-half td twenty tons of silage from one acre. A cow and her calf can be carried through the summer on two pounds of clover hay and thirty-five pounds of silage per day as well or better Princess Salatine Carlotta, Owned by University of Missouri, Produced 18,405 Pounds of Milk and 721 Pounds of Butter In One Year. than on blue-grass pasture. Thus he declares that you can carry a cow and her calf six months on less than a half-acre of silage. The good dairy cow has a broad forehead, indicating intelligence and a kindly disposition. She has a short thin neck not at all beefy, in which veins are plainly manifest. She is narrow through the front shoulders and thick chested, indicating good lung capacity. She has a large, well rounded stomach, showing capacity for stor age of food and water, from which milk is to be manufactured. She has broad hips and a good width through the flanks, giving plenty of room of lacteal organs. There Is also a gentle incline from her shoulders to her rump. The udder is large and soft, hanging down well between her hind legs and extending forward and back ward in a well balanced proportion. Her legs are short and her hair Is a glossy color. Egg-Eating Habit. Egg-eatine is a habit that starts with hens, generally, that are out of condition. In other words, when the hen gets too fat and also when there is a scarcity of lime in the bill of fare the shells of. the eggs become thin. When being laid these soft-shelled eggs usually break and the hen thus acquires a taste. It is always best to gather the eggs several times a day so that there will be no chance for breakage by hens crowding on the nest or by a newly laid egg striking those already laid. Removing Old Knives. To eret the old knives off a sickle, just hold the sickle strip on an anvil, or whatever you use for an anvil, let ting the knife stand over the edge, and one or two blows above the rivets will take the old knife off. In other words, let the old knife be ita own chisel to cut the rivets off. ImWJlONAI. sm Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Even ing Department, The Moody Bible In stitute of Chicago.) ' LESSON FOR MAY 4 JOSEPH INTERPRETS DREAMS. " LESSON TEXT Gen. . 40:9-23. GOLDEN TEXT "Tha breath of the Almighty giveth then understanding." Job. 32:8, R. V. In teaching this lesson we must not overlook the intervening events which are other illustrations of the truthful ness of the biblical narrative in that the sinful failures as well as the suc cesses of families and of chosen in dividuals are presented. Joseph began life in Egypt as a serf. Potiphar, who bought him, was the chief marshal of the empire, the lord high executioner. What Joseph's feelingB must have been we are left to infer, but we believe he accepted his humiliating position with resig nation and resolved to adjust himself to his new environment. Thus it was that Potiphar found in Joseph an hon est servant. Joseph served ten years, years of constant promotion, when he encountered the ordeal related in chapter 39. Crime and Sin. The breaking point had to come when he exclaimed: "How can I do this wickedness and sin against God?" Gen. 39:9. A crime is committed against a man or against society; the same act against God is a sin. Jo seph's only safety was in flight (v. 12), to parley would have meant de feat. Between the ages of seventeen and thirty, Joseph lived a life of slav ery and Imprisonment. But God was with him and his faithfulness was re warded by being promoted to the po sition "of warden. "Our religion should recommend us, therefore itself, to those who have to do with us." (Mac laren). Joseph has been referred to as "the optimist," not as one who be lieves that all will come right, but that all is right now. , So much by way of Introduction. The lesson proper divides itself nat urally into two divisions: I. The Chief Butler's Dream, w. 9-15. As we have seen Joseph's pur ity of life and loyalty to God had brought upon him the bitter hatred of an unprincipled woman (cf. 2 Tim. 3:12), but as we shall see, the sequel was his exaltation. (See. Matt. 5:11, 12.) v By inference we are led to be lieve that Potiphar had not alto gether believed the story of his wife, else he would have exercised his right as an official, also as a slave owner, and summarily executed Jo seph. But Joseph had one friend from whom he could not be separat ed. (Jehovah, 39:21.) In the providence of God two men who stood nearer the King in the discharge of their duties than did Potiphar are brought into close con tact with Joseph. It was through one of these men Jacob was after wards given his opportunity which led to the salvation of many; includ ing those of his own families. (Esther 6:1, Rom. 8:28, Ps. 76:10.) An Enlightened Age. We cannot of course lay the same emphasis upon dreams today as at the time of Joseph, nor Is there need of such revelations from God, for we live in the enlightened age of the Holy Spirit and ever have easy ac cess to the word. But trivial as these dreams may have seemed, God was using them to change the course of history. Verse seven gives us an in timation of this, also a hint of Jo seph's heart of compassion and sym pathy. Had Joseph been a selfish man, slow to notice the sorrows of others and still slower to make any endeavor to relieve their suffering, he would have missed the very opportu-. nity God intended to use in the ef fecting of his escape from prison. II. The Chief Baker's Dream, w. 16-23. This dream also was connect ed with the dreamer's avocation in life and hence along the most natural lines. Again Joseph's cherished con viction produced by his own dreams induces him to offer an interpretation of the baker's dream. Had he lost this conviction due to the circum stances of the hour or questioned the validity of God's revelation or that he was a called man In God's plan, he would not have attempted any in terpretation. Again we emphasize the fact that dreams are of a negligible value in this present age. They usually come from poor digestion or else a sinful. tendency to worry. They have nothing of the divine about them. (See Eccl. 5:3, Jer. 23:28.) We have a better revelation from God. his word; are we familiar with it? It is foolish for us to put any dependence upon dreams today. Joseph's In terpretations which came from God were fulfilled, yet the butler forgets. The Lessons of the Lesson. For the younger pupils the story tells itself and will hold enthralled attention. For old and young there is the lesson of Joseph's serviceable ness, he was a "helpful man." Jo seph bought up his opportunities and later reaped his reward. Here is the lesson of the forgetfulness of the chief butler. Must we censure hlrn entirely for his ingratitude?! Joseph's gift of leadership, 'twas not the occa sion that made the man, but the man made the occasion. The lesson o Joseph's faithfulness in the obscurity. A Hundred Years Ago. There were strong indications that Europe would become involved in a disastrous war. It was feared by some people that the government at Washington was going to wreck things beyond the pos sibility of repair. Hetty Green hadn't saved a cent. Indiana had less than twenty suc cessful authors. It was generally believed that the rich were getting richer and the poor poorer. Old inhabitants were insisting that the climate had changed for the worse since they were boys. No Englishman had considered it necessary to write his impressions of the United States.
