Here is another woman who adds her
testimony to the many whose letters we
have already published, proving that
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound often restores health to suffering
women even after they have gone so far
that an operation is deemed advisable.
Therefore it will surely pay any woman
whe suffers from ailments peculiar to
her sex to give this good old fashioned
remedy a fair trial.

WOODLOT WORTHY
OF PROPER CARE
Like Other Farm Crops Trees
Must Be Well Taken
Care Os.
HARVEST SEASON IN WINTER
Two Types That Require Different
Methods of Handling—Cutting As
sists Greatly in Thinning and
Cultivation.
Wheat, corn and potatoes require
planting, care and cultivation. The
crop of wood that grows on the farm
woodlot requires much less care than
these others, and in the majority of
cases it is already growing on the
farm when the farmer takes the land.
Doubtless this fact makes it difficult
for the farmer to see this crop in the
same light in which lie regards the
others. Any other farm crop must be
cared for or it will fail, and the stand
of wood on the wood lot Is no excep-

tion, though the progress of deteriora
tion is not so rapid and may extend
over a long period of years.
A properly cared-for woodlot will
furnish the farmer a cash crop at reg
ular Intervals and will always afford
a supply of timber and fuel for home
use. The harvest season for the wood
lot comes in the fall and in the winter,
and the gathering of the harvest as
sists also in the thinning and cultiva
tion of the crop.
Require Different Methods.
In general, there are two types of
woodlots, says the United States De
partment of Agriculture, and each of
them requires a different method of
handling. The first type is character
ized by the presence of old trees
which dominate the stand. The sec
ond type is made up of a nearly even
aged stand of second growth.
In the first type the old trees may
almost exclude the younger growth,
or they may exist as a few scattered
Individuals throughout the stand.
Such material is very likely to be
losing value. The way to check the
loss is to cut the old trees which have
attained a mature growth and make
room for a new stand of seedlings. A
mature tree should be cut for the
same reason that one cuts a crop of
«heat when It is thoroughly ripened.
No dead or diseased timber should be
allowed to stand.
A woodlot composed entirely of ma
ture trees should not be cleared at one
cutting. The work should be carried
on in stages with sufficient interval
between the cuttings to allow a new
crop to come up. ( If this method is fol
lowed carefully/ the farmer will al
ways have a crop of wood ready for
harvest on his woodlot. When the ma-
NCREASE OF DRAFT HORSES
.arger Number on Farms Shows How
Agricultural and Transportation
Needs Are Growing.
The United States census for 1910
revealed 19,833,000 horses and 4,210,-
XX) mules on farms. The Department
of Agriculture estimate for January
1, 1920, shows 21,109,000 horses and
1,995,000 mules on farms, or an in
crease of 1,276,000 horses and 785,-
XX) mules in the last decade. Be
sides this we exported, during the nine
years ending June 30, 1919, 1,149,-

than 21,000.000 horses and almost 5,-

igrlcultural and transportation needs
are growing.

ture timber is removed in two or
three cuttings, the first cutting should
be so managed as to open up the
crown cover somewhat, so that the
leaves on the forest floor may decom
pose more rapidly and the germination
of the seed be made more certain.
The remaining trees become more wind
firm, and, as a result of their crowns
receiving more sunlight, they produce
more seed. When the forest floor is
in good condition the second cutting in
a mature woodlot can be made during
the winter following a heavy seed
year. Neither the first nor the second
cutting should be so severe as to al
low an abundance of sunshine to reach
the forest floor, since sunshine stimu
lates the growth of weeds and other
trash.
Thinning the Stand.
In the second type of wood lot,
where the farmer has an even-aged
stand of second-growth timber, he may
begin to harvest his crop by select
ing first the undesirable species.
Often in such stands, such trees as
ironwood threaten to overtop, crowd
out, or damage the more valuable spe
cies like white ash or tulip poplar.
Sprouts sometimes arise too thickly
from the stump of trees recently cut,
or the reproduction of a good species
is too dense. In any of these cases
some of the trees should be removed.
This process is nothing more than
the weeding out of the poorer individ
uals where they interfere with the
better ones. In somewhat the same
manner, a thinning cutting is used
when, in from 15 to 20 years, the
young stands reach a dense condition.
The principle is exactly the same as
that applied by the truck gardener
who thins out his plants to secure the
best development of a portion, rather
than a poor development of the whole.
RATION FOR EGG PRODUCTION
Combination of Corn, Bran, Middlings
and Tankage Is Recommended
for Hen Flock.
A practical ration for good egg pro
duction is mash and scratch grains as
follows: Make up a grain ration of 18
pounds of corn and 7 pounds of mash.
Mix up 5 pounds of bran, 5 pounds of
middlings and 3 pounds of tankage.
The birds should eat the 13 pounds of
mash while consuming the 25 pounds
of scratch grain. If meatscrap is used
in place of tankage, use 3% pounds,
since It contains 10 per cent less pro
tein. Feed only one-third of the daily
grain ration In the morning in deep
litter. This encourages the hens to eat
the mash. With scratch feed, fill up
their craws just before they go to roost
and this should last them about twelve
hours.

according to the nature of The manure.

It is lowered when the spreader is
loaded shallow with heavy manure, and

Field for Purebreds.
South America offers a promising
field for purebred live stock.
FIX UP MACHINES IN WINTER
Farmer Should Go Over Each Piece
Tighten Bolts and Make Neces
sary Repairs.
During the winter period, all ma
chines should be given careful inspec
tion. Go over each piece with a
wrench, tighten all loose nuts, replace
lost bolts, screws er nails or put In
additional ones If needed. All parts
that are exposed to wear in the soil,
as harrow teeth, drill and cultivator
shovels, discs, plow points, etc., should
be properly sharpened and put back
into position.
Prevent Moldy Corn.
Those farmers who may have Im
mature corn in their cribs can pre
vent molding by salting. Use one
pound of salt io three bushels by
weight of ear corn.

Why not give your farm a name?

WHY THE CELT WAS PUZZLED
Visitor’s Inquiry Did Seem Unreason
able in View of Statement He
Had Previously Made.
A well known physician of New
York tells why he does not know
whence his ancestors came.
Now, he had always understood that
his ancestors were Scotch-Irish, and
on the strength of that belief had
prided himself on their royal blood.
Once it occurred to him to go and
have a look at the old place whence
they were supposed to have come.
When he arrived at what he believed
was the right district he appealed to
an old Irishman to tell him the exact
spot.
The Celt regarded him much as one
does a crazy man, and then said:
“Ye say that your ancestors emi
grated from here 200 years ago? Then
why the deuce, sir, are ye lookin’ for
them here now?"
He Almost Believed—
“Sometimes I almost think that girt
intends to be really rude .and discour
aging.”
“What now?”
“Why, I met her out walking, and
asked if I might see her home, and
she said, ‘Certainly; any one passing
along our street may—or you can go
up to the roof of this office building
and see it without having to go any
nearer.’ ”
If a man is a millionaire he can say
all the fool things he wants to with
