HOW MRS. WEAVER WAS HELPED i ? ? ? By Taking Lrdia E. Pmkham'a Vegetc ble Compound As Mrs. Weaver herself gays, "I was never very strong." This is a mild statement describ ing her condition, (or,according toher letters, she was sub jected to no small amount of ill health. Fortunately, her sis ter was familiar With Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound and begged Mrs. Weaver to try it. "After three or four weeks," writes Mrs. Weaver, "I felt a great difference in myself. I would go to bed and sleep sound, and although I could not do very much work. I seemed stronger, I kept on taking It and now I am well and strong, do my work and take care of fhree children. X sure do tell my friends about your wonderful medicine, and I will answer any letters from women asking about the Vege table Compound."?Mas. La wkl.nce Weaves, East Smltbfleld St., Mt, Fleas ant, Pa. If you knew that thousands of women suffering from troubles similar to those you are enduring had improved their health by taking Lydla E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, wouldn't you think It was worth a trial? In some families, the fourth genera tion Is learning the merit of Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "Special^' for Pigeon? During the present pigeon racing reason in Kngland one railway la run niug special trains to carry the birds from the homes to the starting points. So far 20 such trains have been planned. The road has 44 special cars in the racing areu. Kuch car is 35 feet long and will carry 540 birds. The cars are steam heated and have special ventilators. l'Igeons occasion ally race 700 miles, and birds are val ued at as high as *1,000 each. Aviator?* Triumph? As far as we have been able (o as certain, the (ierman aviator, Capt. Von Itlchthofen, brought down the largest number of planes during the World war,, the plaues numbering 80.

An Instrument known as a "detecta acope" has been invented that can spot shoplifters and expose loafing clerks in any room of a building. The BABY! Why do so man;, many babies of to day escape all the little fretful spells and infantile ailments that used to worry mothers through the day, and keep them up half the night ? If you don't know the answer, you haven't discovered pure, harmless Cas toria. It is sweet to the taste, and sweet In the little stomach. And Its gentle Influence seems felt all through the tiny system. Not even a distaste ful dose of castor oil does so much good. Fletcher's Castorla la purely vege table. so you may give It freely, at flrst sign of colic; or constipation: or diarrhea. Or those many times when you Just dont know what it tiie mat ter. For real sickness, call the doc tor. always. At other times, a few drops of Fletcher's Castorla. The doctor often tells you to do Just that; and always says Fletcher's. Other preparations may be Just as pure, Just as free from dangerous drugs, but why experiment? Besides, the book on care and feeding of babies that comes with Fletcher's Castorla Is worth its weight In gold!

FRUIT TREES ARE HARMED BY PESTS Not ? year goes by t' ?t there are not iiur.ieruua complaints uf tieuvy loss cf fruit trees due to the ravage* of mice and rablilts. Injury from mice Is cotuiiurutlvely easy to control. The succulent bark of tlte yottng tree Is particularly tasty to theni in the lean months of winter, but as they ure under the snow and do not climb the trees, some means of protection will prevent their da ma ye. Ordinary build ing paper does very well, not the tarred, but the plain gray building paper. Cut this in strips 6 inches or 8 Inches wide and tie around the trunk of the young trees, banking up around the bottom with a little earth. A better and more permanent way is to use wire protectors made from either galvanized wire of a fine mesh or from expanded metal lath. Cut this material into strips about 18 Inches high and 18 inches or so wide to allow for expansion of the tree, and fasten with small pieces of wire. This material will last several years without replacing, and insures ade quate protection against mice and against rabbits as fnr as the mate rial reaches, but rabbits have the fac ulty of getting on top of the snow and chewing the branches above the snow line. This makes protection a rather difficult matter. There Is not any really good treatment for rabbits, but the following poison has met with some success and Is worth trying: White arsenic, 1 part; corn meal, 3 parts. Mix thoroughly and sprend about the area to be protected. A re pellant which has also been used with varying success Is as follows: Unslaked lime, 20 pounds; flowers of sulphur, 15 pounds; water, 44 pounds. Apply this to the trunks with a brush. ?M. B. Davis. Division of Horticul ture, Central Indiana Experimental Farm. \ Strawberries Protected by Covering With Straw Everyone Interested In growing strawberries In any way. will find it a valuable thing to mulch the vines well before the beginning of severe winter weather. The best material and gen erally the handiest Is to employ straw. When the ground Is frozen, apply the struw. Some four inches deep as the straw lies loose. Is a good depth for the covering. Allow the straw to so remain until early spring, or at the period when vegetation starts a growth. Then with the fork remove from directly over the hills or the matted rows of plants, about three-fourths of the straw, but leave It In the spaces between the rows. Allow It to remain In that posi tion until the berries are all picked. There are several advantages of the use of straw as winter protection of the plants. First, the plants do not become drawn out of the soil, if the winter season is one of much hard freezing. Second, by leaving It In the spaces, no grass or weeds can come up and much hard work is saved. Third, the straw so placed conserves the moisture, and fourth, the ripening fruit Is kept free from sand or soli. This Is mighty important, for unclean berries ure hard to sell and fnll to bring re munerative prices. The whole process as described Is not expensive, makes strawberry grow ing a pleasure and fully rewards any one' for lite time and Inbor expended. Low-Headed Trees Find ^> Favor in Many Sections The Introduction of the San Jose scale a little more than twenty-live years ago created an immediate de mand for low-headed trees.* This ex tended to a point where many apple trees were headed as low as 18 Inches. Now, the open center type framework Is popular for apples as well as peaches In New Jersey and many oth er fruit districts. In the attempt to secure a low, open center apple tree, very little attention In practice has been given during the Inst 20 years to obtaining an ade quate spacing of the rramework branches upon the trunk. This fortunately has not resulted In any serious percentage of breakage ot tops In New Jersey. Stayman. how ever, and to a less degree, Dellclons, f have proved to be varieties that tend to form weak main crotches If the main branches are too closely bunched. All apple districts are, therefore, urging a better sparing of the main branches of apple trees. The open center type of tree Is still the most popular In New Jersey. Because ot this, a slight extension or distribution of the bead Is the corrective pruning recommended.?J. A. Blake, Horticul turist, New Jersey Agricultural College. Earliest Berry Bushes Currants and gooseberries are anions the earliest of our berry hushes to leaf out In the spring. For this reason the plants should be set In the ground where they are to remain per manently just as soon as possible. The plants will grow even though In full leaf before being transplanted. But they will not respond and make the strong growth the first year that they would If the plants were still In a dormant eondltloo when they were p-st set out. ?

Chicago Boasting of Record Loud Speaker When the embattled farmers of Mas sachusetts fired the shot that was heard round the world, they were rev olutionary pioneers in more than on^ respect. They did the first piece of educational broadcasting, on a world wide wave length, but there was this criticism : It took too long for the mes sage to travel. Itecently there has come to the fore a desire on the part of merchants not only to get current news from great distances with which to attract the passersb.v, but also to extend the hear ing range either throughout a store department or up and down the ave nues approaching the store. To meet this need, loud speakers of various powers have been developed, with Chi cago now boasting of one that will carry six miles. It weighs 180 pounds and has an air column of ten feet. Gray Wolves Dying Out Depredations of the large gray wolf are believed to be almost at an end In the West because of the unremit ting activities of the United States biological survey and other agencies against them. In New Mexico, says Popular Mechanics Magazine, only eight wolves were caught last year and thirty-one the preceding year. Arizona- reports that no wolves are now known to be within the borders of that state. A' constant patrol is kept along the International boundary to prevent Invasions by timber wolves and mountain lions from Mexico. Where it Coet Ralph?How about that milllon dollar case?

Limed Soil Best for Clover Crop Experiments Show Plants Respond Remarkably Welt to Treated Soil. That clover responds remarkably well to a timed soil has again keen demonstrated in experiments recently completed by Prof. A. W. Blair at the Xew Jersey agricultural experiment station, at New Brunswick. An unlimed plot of timothy and clover at the first cutting produced 1.242 pounds ef hay per acre (practi cally all timothy) and a correspond ing limed plot (treated with 4,000 pounds of ground limestone per acre) yielded mixed hay at the rate of 2.801 pounds per acre. At the second cut ting the unlimed plot gave no hay, while the limed plot yielded excel lent clover hay at the rate of 1,654 pounds per ncre?a total for the limed plot of more than ,two tons per acre as against just a little over a half ton for the unlimed plot. Protein Value of Hay. But the huy from the unlimed plot was practically all timothy which has a protein value not much above 8 per cent, whereas the mixed hay of the first cutting from the limed plot has a protein value somewhat higher than timothy alone, and the clover of the second cutting lias a protein value al most double that of timothy. "Furthermore," says I'rofessor Blair, In commenting on the experiment, "there is at present an excellent pros pect of a good crop of clover from the limed plot next year, hut the yield of hay from the unlimed plot will be very meager aDd there will be no clover in It. Again, the limed plot will make a better sod to be turned under for corn the following year, since the clover will , have added con siderable nitrogen to the soil, and some of tbis nitrogen will be left for succeeding crops. Doesn't Like Acidity. "Clover just will not grow ia a soil that is acid tmyond a certain degree. The county agents and the experiment station will help farmers to find out if their soil is acid to that degree, and thus spare them the trouble and ex pense of seeding clover with no pros pect of getting a crop. Farmers are advised to buy no soil-acidity testing outfit until it has been approved by the county agent or the experiment station. Hogging Down Corn Crop Is Good Farm Practice "Hoggin;; down at least part of this year's corn crop. If there is any, will save lahor in husking, cribbing, re loading, and feeding." says H. G. Zavoral, a live stock specialist of the agricultural extension service. Uni versity ,of Minnesota. % "Well grown slioats averaging 73 to 123 pounds make the most desirable weights to be turned Into the corn fields. It is best to get them gradually accustomed to eating green corn, fill ing them with old corn Just before. I'lgs can be turned In to the corn . fields when the ears are glazed or dented and can stay there until ready for the market or until the weather Incomes unfavorable. "It is well not to place the pigs In a larger field than they can clean up in three weeks. Fattening hogs should be moved just before all the corn is gone, and breeding stock or growing pigs turned in to clean up. Shade and plenty of water should be available at all times. If less than one gallon of skim milk per day per pig is available, a self-feeder of tank age will pay big dividends." Big Value of Barnyard Manure as Plant Food The value of barnyard manure both as a plant food and in improving the physical condition of soil is suggested by a report to the United States De partment of Agriculture from a southwestern citrus grower who estab lished a dairy farm of several hun dred acres solely with a view to pro viding a supply of manure for his citrus groves. It was his belief that if the dairy enterprise was only self sustaining it would be fully worth while because of the value of the manure that was thus made available for his main enterprise.

Malting House school, originally started by faculty members of Cambridge university for their own offspring as a place where young children could "lettra how to learn,** has proved so successful that the directors wish to expand it into a new type of educational research. To show parents who are Interested In experimental schools what can be done to retain the emotional and In tellectual drive of the "ask question age," movies of a specimen week at Malting House have been put on view for a private allowing. The directors, who include suclt men as Sir Krnest ItutherfOrd, former winner of the No ble prize for physics, and J. B. S. Hal dane. essayist and biologist, recently attracted wide attention toward the school by advertising in leading scien tific journals for a scientist "of the first order?. . . to investigate and conduct the introduction of young children to science and scientific method."
