AN APPEAL TO WOMEN By One Who, From Her Past Ex perience, is Capable of Giving Sound Advice. Bud, Ky. "I want to urge all weak womeD," Bays Mrs. Lizzie R. Barker, of this place, "to give Cardui, the woman's tonic, a fair trial, for I be lieve it will do for them what it haa done for me. I was a sufferer for 13 years, with such pains I could scarcely walk or etand on my feet. I had headache. dizziness and fainting spells. After many treatments failed to help me, my husband persuaded me to give Cardui, the woman's tonic, a trial, and I did so. Now I feel like a new woman. I am well of all these troubles, and can do all my house work, with pleasure. y When I commenced taking Cardui, I was not able to sit up. Now I am enjoying good health and do all of my work. I shall keep Cardui in my home all the time. There is not any medicine that equals it for women." We, also, urge you to try Cardui, the woman's tonic, for your troubles. It has helped so many thousands of women in the past half century that we feel sure it will help you, too. Prepared from perfectly harmless, Tegetable ingredients, Cardui is the remedy for you to use. It can do you nothing but good. Try it Adv. Would Not Be Recognized. "Oh, dear me!" walled a tenement mother, happening upon a sympathetic neighbor. "I'm in such trouble! My little Willie's got himself lost." "Well, don't worry," consoled the neighbor. "He'll soon be found. Ev erybody about the place knows him." "But not today, I'm fearing. You see, he's just been washed." BAD TETTER ON HANDS R. F. D. No. 1, Critz, Va. "I had tetter on my hands so badly that I could hardly do anything. It would begin to come in clear white blisters, then they would burst and peel off all over and crack and bleed. My hands were so sore and itched so badly I could not rest day or night. I could not put them in water nor do my reg ular work. "I tried medicine and several differ ent kinds of cream on them but they got worse instead of better. Nothing did me any good until I tried Cuticura Soap and Ointment. And now my hands are perfectly well and all right." (Signed) Miss Ellen Tudor, Nov. 19, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free,with 32-p. Skin Book.

We have a little farm of 15 acres just outside the city limits. Of this a road takes up 120 rods and two houses and barns one acre. Four acres are in orchard and one- and one-half acres in small fruits; 150 of our trees have only been set five years. Five acres slope to the north and the rest south and east, with a slope of about 12 inches to the rod. We plow about six inches deep. I would prefer eight inches, but cannot get it donft-as I am an invalid, confined to my bed and cannot have direct supervision of the work. We back furrow all our land up and down the slope, and never plow cross wise. We leave two rods on each end to turn on. This is in grass, which we cut for hay. The orchard is also in grass between the trees north and south. We cut most of our grass for the horse, two cows, four pigs and 75 hens. We grow carrots for feed for the cows instead of bran. HThe other heavy feed is corn. We have no pas ture and so feed in barn and yard. I cannot keep account of the fruit and vegetables we use, as my son's family live on the place, making nine of us altogether, of whom five are chil dren, under eleven years of age. 1 pay the children for their work, but charge them nothing for butter. 1 DEVICES SAVE LABOR AUTOMOBILE, WITH TONNEAU REMOVED, MADE USEFUL. On Every Farm Most Modern Mach!n; ery Always Finds Flattering Appre ciation and Ready Application Interests Boys. I knew a progressive orchardist who developed a very good direct fruit trade in a region where formerly all the fruit that was purchased came from California, and he did this en tirely by the use of his automobile. He removed the tonneau and used a body fitted with racks for the bas kets. His local roads were very good, and he was able to pick the fruit when the dew of early morning was on it and to deliver it to his customers in three neighboring towns in a radius of fifteen miles by mid-morning. Leading dairy farms that formerly wasted horse and man labor in con veying their dairy products to the railroad are today profitably operating motor trucks. The motor has vitally increased the efficiency of man, and with the machine maintained under good conditions its operator can per form as m"eh work as three ordinary teams and drivers formerly did. The automobile's "colt," the motorcycle, should particularly recommend itself to the agricultural public, for on ev ery farm the most modern machinery always flnd3 flattering appreciation and ready application. Power Machinery Interests Boy. I have frequently talked with many farmers' sons who ascribe their keen interest in the old homestead to the fact that power machinery, Including the automobile, motor truck, motor cycle, gasoline engine and farm light ing or watering system, has been placed in their charge. Farmers the country over who utilize the automo bile for both pleasure and business purposes are of the staple, conserva tive type. A Wisconsin farm boy uses a rack attached to the rear frame of his mo torcycle, in which he is able to carry two milk cans and several bags of feed or seed. The motorcycle is of Ines timable value in running errands, in getting repairs quickly done when a machine of any sort breaks down or as a means of calling the doctor in case of sickness wherti telephonic facilities are unavailable. As the motor truck and its smaller brethren deserve much commendable d.onsideration out of doors, so the elec tric washing machine, the electric flat iron and toaster merit as much atten tion within the country home. A Min nesota suburbanite is sponsor, for a home-made refrigerator that fittingly could be duplicated in every country home. By the use of a series of coiled pipes that penetrate hia ice chest he is able to maintain a constant flow of water through the refrigerator from his artesian well Washing Duck Eggs. Whit you may wash hen eggs and yet expect a good hatch, it is nearly fatal to the germ of a duck egg to wash away the oily substance that seems necessary to its proper hatch ing. This oil prevents evaporation from the egg nd too much air going in to harden and toughen the shell against breaking under the bit! at the duckling. 1 &M Farm of 15 Acres. milk, fruit or vegetables.

We have more corn in the crib, 50 bushels more potatoes and three tons more hay than we had a year ago, and hope to do better this season, as we hope to have better help. We believe that no one should be satisfied with less than 100 bushels shelled corn to the acre. BASKETS FOR BERRY PICKING Most Popular Size Is Eight-Box Car rier, Two Styles of Which Are Shown In Illustration. For picking berries a considerable variety of box carriers have been used in various parts of the country. Some growers prefer a four-box carrier made of a flat piece of wood with shallow Tray for Berry Picking. sides and provided with a handle. The objection to this size is that it da mands too much walking back apd forth and consequent loss of time. Perhaps the most popular size ist the eight-box carrier, two styles of which are herewith illustrated, says Orange Judd Farmer. One is made? with a wooden bottom and sides nailed together; the other of woven strip? such as are used for making baskets. The chief disadvantage in connection with carriers of this size is that un less the pickers cover their boxes with foliage as fast as filled the fruit in the first-filled ones is kept too long In the hot sun and thus suffers injury from the heat. It should be a rule, there fore, in every strawberry field in whirh Basketwork Picker. large-sized carriers are used to cover the fruit immediately as each box is filled and then gather it up when eight boxes are ready. Success With Calves. The secret of successful calf raising lies in keeping the calf's digestive or gans in perfect shape. To do this avoid sudden changes, either in feed ing or management. Feed warm milk from clean pails, but do not feed too much. Clean, sunny quarters, with exercise and clean and wholesome food fed in proper amounts at the proper time will lossen the number of weak calves, and produce heifers which will develop into vigorous cows. Exercise and Feed for Sows. Give the brood sows milk making foods and plenty of exercise. A good way to force exorcise is to scatter whole oats on a tight floor which will keep the sows busy for an hour or so. Planting Kafir. Give kafir a square deal this time. If you should get It too think plow up every other row and plant pea nuts or cowpeas instead, making the kafir rows seven feet apart. Using Percheron Stallion. A Percheron stallion fourteen years of age in good physical condition re ceiving the right kind of feed anc exercise can be bred to 100 mares dur log one season without injury. 1 NOTICE VALUABLE REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY FOR SALE.
