Unhealthfulness
Those who point the accusing finger I
at woman's garb and charge It with I
being unheaithful are not without!
just grounds. Woman's garb is In-
deed unheaithful.
Only the very richest women can af-
ford both to dress and to be operated
on. Of the middle class, there is now
and then a woman brave enough to
prefer being a frump to retaining all
her viscera, but the great majority
will choose to bo in style, and for the
rest, to suffer, except as they may
take advantage of free clinics.
Among the poor the case is even
worse. Nothing could be more pre-
judicial to health than the condition of
the woman who, after having paid
for her clothes has nothing left for
car fare. For if her shoes match her
hat and frock, she cannot possibly
walk in a graceful manner without
straining important muscle' More-
over, worrying for fear people will not
attribute her husband's wearing his
old hat to eccentricity in the end af
fects her digestion.
In general, the Inability of woman's
garb to hang from the shoulders and
look like anything has to be consider-
ed.— Life.

—That a sure cure for Backache would
bo a pricolesB boon to the people, and
especially the women of America, Is
admitted by all interested in medical
matters, and Mrs. Sue Williams of
this place is certain she has :ound in
Dodd's Kidney Pills the long-looked
for cure.
*'I am 38 years old," Mrs. Williams
says, "and 1 have suffered with the
Backache very much for three
or four years. I have been treated
by good physicians and got no relief,
but thanks to God. I have found a cure
it last and it is Dodd's Kidney Pills
1 have taken only one box and it has
done me more good than all the doc-
tors In three or four years. I want
all sufferers from Backache to know
that they can get Dodd's Kidney Pills
and get well."
Backache is one of the first symp-
toms of Kidney Disease. Guard against
Hright.'s Disease or Rheumatism by
curing it with Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 oz —one full

Stnrches are put up In '*)i-poiind pack-
ages, and the price is the same. 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all Injurious chem-
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a
12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before lie puts in Detlance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let-
ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand

Build Up a Field.
There is no lesson so effective as the
object lesson. We try to Induce tlie
farmer to drain and fertilize a'. Ills
farm, but we will have little inii n'ss
ion on him till we have been able to
place some object lesson before him
such as inducing the leading farm, is |
in every locality to takt one field and
build It up, as it were, to a high state
of fertility. A few farmers have done
this under the instruction of prob-
ers of the agricultural colleges, and
more are doing It. Their sample is
being followed by the iarnieis itn
mediately around them, who ha\e
been impressed '.y the things that ar.
shown. .
By the building up of a field tin
farmer himself will learn about his
land many things that he never knew i vogue
before he began that work. It is sur Paris,
prising how many things there arc
about farms that their owners do not
know. There was one man that lived
in a locality where the popular im-
pression was that the land could no.
be drained. They said that the tex
ture of the soil was such that the wat-
er simply evaporated from its surface,
but did not pass through it I'ndcr
the Instruction of the state agricultur-
al college the man put in a series ot
drains, and, behold, they worked to
perfection. The other farmers in that
vicinity came to see his drains and
were moved by what they saw to con
struct drains of their own.
This man had land thai was defi
cient In potash. By draining he low
ored the soil water more than a foot
and lay hare a layer of soil that was
rich in potash. The roots of the plant:-
went down to it and the owner of the
field was relieved of the necessity ol
sending awuy for potash, lie possibly
had never discovered this truth till hi
began to build up a field.
One field on a farm should be made
to hear the greatest possible crop;
that the value of the farm for crop pro
duction may be understood. It will be
an experimental lot and its value will
depend on the care that is given II
and on the figures that i re written
down as to its cost and products.
There are very few fields that cannot
be Improved either mechanically, in
fertilizing or in moisture contents.

THE USES OF RESPONSIBILITY.
IV,ere Work Not the Chief Thing in
Children's Training.
Every mother should remember that
the making of her daughter Is of far
greater importance than the adminis-
tration of things in h. r home, ar.t
every daughter should realize that she
can learn to avoid mistakes only when
she sees them. She eujoys most see-
ing her mother's mistakes and resolv-
ing that when she has a house she will
• never do so." A beginning may be
made with a small and comparatively
unimportant responsibility, suggests
Woman's Life, and it is to be remem-
bered that responsibility, and not
mere work, is the great thing. The
very little girl may have the care ol
one plant, a hardy one to begin with,
but system and neatness may be prac-
ticed In Its care to great advantage,
if the plant should be a blooming one.

Danger of Too Much Fertilizer.
Fertilizer is a good thing, but too
much of it will kill plant growth. This
is a fact with which the western
farmer who Irrigates his crops oftimes
is brought face to face. Alkali is an
unquestioned advantage to some crops.

Buckwheat. Rye and Fertility.
The discussion of buckwheat as a
fc°d reminds us to say that it has ever,
a greater value as a fertilizer of the
soil, as we demonstrated fully on
sandy land that had been reduced to
the unprofitable point by too much
cropping to wheat; that was several
years ago. however. Rye was used
in connection with the buckwheat,
but the element most needed v.as se-
| cured through the buckwheat, the rye
affording some feed during the opera-
tion. and helping to put the soil in
good mechanical condition. I'irst,
winter rye was sown in the tail, pas-
tured then, late, and early In spring.
Then allowed to grow until in bloom,
wheu it was plowed under and sown
to buckwheat. That, in turn, was
plowed under and again sown to win-
ter rye. The following spring red
clover wait sown In tlw rye, when ail
excellent stand resulted and the soil
w as again in condition to play its part
in crop growing.

Pumpkins as Feed.
Results obtained by the Vermont sta-
tion show that pumpkins compare fair-
ly with silage lor feeding dairy cows.
The pumpkins were cut and fed with
the seed. No harm resulted to the
cow and the quantity of the milk was
not affected. The Pennsylvania sta-
tion also reports satisfactory results
from using pumpkins in supplementing
fa'ling pasturage, near the close of
the grazing season. Analyses and
feeding tests made by that station
,how that in protein content the pump-
kin does not equal the carrot or man-
but in all these products protein
is comparatively insignificant, so that
none of them are much esteemed ex-
'' t f„r succulency. The pumpkin's
value for mixing with dry feed in com
pounding feeding rations is therefore
apparent, and its use does not taint
milk and butter, which nearly always
follows the feeding of turnips and car-
rots.
First Ocean Cable's Cost.
The original 1858 cable weighed
ninety-three pounds per tnile and had
a conductor of seven copper wires oi
twenty-two and a hall gauge; price ol
deep sea wire per mile. $200; price of
spun yarn and iron wire per mile,
$263; cost of outside coating of tar
and gutta pereha. $2". per mile; total
cost per milo. $18:,. At $48a per mile
the total cost of the 2.5UO mileu oi
deep-sea wire was $1,212,500. To this
add twenty-five miles of "shore end
wire, costing $1,450 per mile anil we
find that the first ocean cable, exelus
ivc of instruments, cost $1,250,000.
Pumpkin Came From Asia.
The pumpkin is a native of Asia
and was introduced into Europe about
1570, being first raised merely as a
curiosity and later as a food for both
mail atid beast. Just when it was
brouiht to America is not known.
Soire claim that a variety of the
pumpkin was cultivated by the Amer-
ican aborigines, being grown In .heir
mal"e fields, but this is probably a
nlsapprchension. But If the pump-
•In is not native to American soil, the
