to meet Thursday morning at 10

Selecting Seed Corn.
The com crop is the most important
one grown on the farm. Much depends
upon the seed used. I select my seed
In the full. I go into the field after
the corn is hard and before there is a
hard frost and select the best ears
that are well tilled. Take off the busks,
except enough to tie the ears togeth
er, and hang two ears together on a
wire in a dry place. When the corn
Is thoroughly dried I put it In a room
where there are no mice or rats and
rick it the same as cord wood, then no
amount of freezing will hurt it. I al
ways smoko the corn just before plant
ing. using corncobs, fine chips or old
leather, and sometimes put a little pine
tar on the fire. This Is to prevent
squirrels and mice from digging the
seed up after it is planted.
Always shell off the tips and butts
and use tlie rest of the ear; this is to
make the gernels of uniform size. I
never plant more corn than I have help
to attend to and do it right—say forty
acres to each team. I never plow’ in
the fall except sod ground. Plant be
tween May 10 and 22 as shallow as
possible and see that all seed is cov
ered. When the season is dry I plant
deeper. I seed rather heavily, planting
three or four kernels iu a hill. I al
ways test the seed before planting.—
D. A. Blalock, in New England Home
stead.

THE TURN OF LIFE.
The Most Important Period in a
Woman’s Existence. Mrs. John
son Tells How She Was Helped
Over the Trying Time.
Owing to modern methods of living, not one woman in a thousand ap
proaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very
annoying, and sometimes painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending the blood surging to the heart until it
seems ready to burst, and the faint feeling that follows, sometimes with chills,
as if the heart were going to stop for good, are only a few of the. symptoms of
a dangerous nervous trouble. The nerves are crying out for assistance. The
cry should be heeded in time. Lydia E. Pinkhain’s Vegetable Compound wars
prepared to meet the needs of woman’s system at this trying period of her life.
The three following letters are guaranteed to be genuine and true, and
still further prove what a great medicine Lydia E. Plnkham’s Vegetable
Compound is for women.
Mar. 12, 1897.
“ Dk.ar Mrs. Pixkiiam ; I have been sick for a long time. I was taken
sick with flooding. All my trouble seemed to be in the womb. I ache all the
time at the lower part of the womb. The doctor says the womb is covered
with ulcers. I suffer with a pain on the left side of my back over the kidney.
lam fifty years old and passing through the change of life. Please advise me
what to do to get relief. Would like to hear from you as soon as possible.”
Mrs. Charlotte Johnson, Monclova, Ohio.
Jan. 23, 1898.
“ I have been taking your remedies, and think they have helped ine a great
deal. I had been in bed for ten weeks when I began taking your Vegetable
Compound, but after using it for a short time I was able to be up around the
house. The aching in the lower part of womb has left me. The most that
troubles me now is the flowing. That is not so bad, but still there is a little
every dav. lam not discouraged yet, and shall continue with your medicine,
for I believe it will cure me.” — Mrs. Charlotte Johnson, Monclova,Ohio.
April 13, 1900.
“ I send you this letter to publish for the benefit of others. I was sick for
about nine years so that I could not do my work. For three months I could
not sit up long enough to have my bed made. I had five different doctors, and
all said there was no help for me. My trouble was change of life. I suffered
with ulceration of the womb, pain in sides, kidney and stomach trouble, back
ache, headache, and dizziness. lam well and strong, and feel like a now
person. My recovery is a perfect surprise to everybody that knew me. 1 owe
all to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I would not do without
your medicine for anything. There is no need of women suffering so much if
they would take your remedies, for they are a sure cure.” Mrs. Charlotte
Johnson, MondHova, Ohio.
When one stops to think about the good Mrs. Johnson derived from Mrs.
Pinkham's advice and medicine, it seems almost beyond belief; yet it is all
true as stated in her three letters published above at her own request,.
Asa matter of positive fact Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands of
letters from women who have been safely carried through that danger period
“Change of Life.” Mrs. Johnson's cure is not an unusual one for Mrs. Pink
ham’s medicine to accomplish.

Portable Racks.
For cattle, a good rack may be made
with common rough boards and a few
pieces of scantling. Make them four
or five feet wide, ten or twelve feet
long, and two feet deep; have four by
four inch scantling in the corners, and
also In the center of the ends, running
up twelve or fifteen inches above the
top of the rack; to the latter nail in a
center lengthwise; thus you
have a double ’rack where cattle will
eat contentedly.
Do not have the end boards or pieces
of scantling reach down as low as tho
side boards and then by rounding up
the ends of the side boards, after tho
manner of sled runners, the racks may
be easily drawn from one place to an
other.
