Suffer! I " I had been troubled, a Httie, for nearly 7 yean," writ* I Mrs. L Fincher, in a letter from Peavy, Ala., "but I was I not taken down, until March, when I went to bed and had I to have a doctor. He did all he could for me, but I sot po H better. I hurt all over, and I could not rest At last, I Wad I Cardui, and soon I began to improve. Now I am in very H good health, and able to do all my housework " CARDUI Woman** Tonic I You may wonder why Cardui Is so successful, after H other remedies have failed. The answer is that Cardui is I successful, because it is composed of scientific ingredients, I that act curatlvely on the womanly system. It is a medicine I lor women, and for women only. It builds, strengthens, and I restores weak and ailing women, to health and happiness. I If you suffer like Mrs. Fincher did, take Cardui. It I will surely do for you, what it did for her.

Preparing In Brine M»»t D«»irsbls Far Average farm Conditions. All meat that la to KO tlie cur ing vessel must be cooled before It Is packed. It WTilso *ell to let It cool thoroughly liefore attempt ing to cut it into convenient pieces, because It 1* firmer and can bv cut Into mocb amootber plecea than whtn It la warm. Pork may be dry salted, or cured In brine, tbe latter being tbe moat desirable for average farm conditions, because It requires iesa attention and takee up less room. Wben pork U dry cured it la neceasary to rohandle tbe meat and rub It several tlmee with tbe curing nuiteriala uaed. With tbe brine procoaa, tbe meat la put la tbe vessel, tbe brine poured over It ul It will not be neceaaary to handle It again until It la ready to be taken oat and smoked. In cutting the pork, trim all parte amootbly. and remove all acraggy por tions. aa tbey can be used to advantage for sausage moat while fresh, but are wasted If put through tbe curing pro ceas. Iu trimming the hama and ahoul ders. expose as little of the lean meat as is necessary, becauee tbe action of tbe aalt while in proceaa of coring will make tbe lean meat hard. After all places of meat have been properly cooled and trimmed, take each piece separately and rub It all over with aalt and lay It aside for twenty four hours. After tbe salt baa been absorbed, pack It Into a vessel—sirup barrel or any other barrel that has been properly cleaned. Pack the meat In tightly, putting tbe hama and shoul ders at the bottom. Weigh out. for each 100 pounds of meat, tsn pounds of salt four pounds of brown sugar and two ounces of saltpeter. Dlasolve this In four gallons of bolting water. Stir It well, so that all tbe aalt and sugar will be dissolved. Let It stand until cool, and then poor over the meat. This amount of water should be suf ficient to cover well the meat In the ▼easel. Pot a round wooden cover over the top and weight It down with a atone ao aa to keep all the meat under the brine, but If not aufilclent brine add enough to cover the meat. Put. tbe vaaeel la aome cool place and let It stand for from atx to eight weeka, wbeu the meat will be read/ te be taken out of the brine and aaoked or naed.

Regarding tbu value of humus as such Professor Milton Whitney, chief of the United Btates bureau of soils, makes the following statements lo United States furtnevs" bulletin 25Tf "We have studied-the office of bu mus In the growth of plants. We bar® found that liumux extracted from our cultivated soils is Innocuous to tba-' plant. It Is apparently 'neither bene ficial nor deleterious. Humus is a vary stable form of organic matter. It remains' In tba soil for yean. It may be exposed to extremes of Mat and cold, bat still the black colorwf a black soil will perslit.

Of course, says Practical* Farmer, this refers to the value of humus aa • source of plant food and not to Ita physical value. By exceealve tillage and the use of caustic lima the further decay of thla old Minus can be effect ed or hastened, and thus some plaiit food can be secured from true hunres; but. as a .felt*, tba flee of far* tnasurr or legume crop* aa green manure, will be more profitable, especially in-af*- tems of permanent soil improvement. LIME FOR FRUIT TREES.

Ullgard, director of the California Station, a high au thority. soya that limestone dMIs pro duce a stocky growth of trees-ao notice- able that one can tell a limestone sec tlon by that character of tree growth. Observation has shown that lime gives a very favorable root growth—a well balanced plant, top with roots— and that produces perfection of flower lug and fruition. A larger quantity and a better quality are both distinctly noticeable In lime fertilisation. Hll gard says also that lime Improves the quality of fruit; gripes grown with It sre notably sweeter. Tbe sugar beet lpdostry. whlrb Is regulated by acian tide tests of quality. Is moat aucceaaful on limestone soils. As line Is not very expensive, the right thing for every fruit grower to do Is to make some comparative taata with It, bearing In mind that a troe carbonate form can be applied at any season and will not Injure either plMts or organic matter by dlrwft contact. In fact tbe carbonate mixed with ma nure or commerrtal fertilizers enhances the value without any waste of fertil iser elements.—American Agriculturist FARMING'S DEBT TO SCICNCK.
