Anecdote of Robert R. Hltt. The late Robert R. Hitt had a knowl­ edge of stenography which was of great value to him in debate. He has- been known to rise with his hand full of shorthand notes of a speech just delivered to which he was about to reply and, woe to the man who ac­ cused Mr. Hitt of misquoting him. He was the patron saint' of the stenog­ raphers of the house. Not long ago political influence was about to dis­ place from the' line of promotion ft young expert writer of shorthand from Michigan whose work Mr. Hitt had occasion to admire. Mr. Hitt went to Speaker Cannon. "This will never do, Joe," said the shorthand authority of the house. "We can't do without this man. The house must have him." "All right, Hitt," replied Speaker Cannon. "If anybody knows the sort of stenog­ raphers this house ought to have you are the man." That settled it and the Michigan stenographer held his place.

Nothing Is so good a protector frost or heat as 'dead air in insulat­ ed compartments. W h e r e w a t e r pipes most be placed in the ground above the frost line, or above the ground and fully exposed, properly con­ structed frost box­ es are vastly su­ perior to felt, c o r k o r o t h e r coverings. These packing materials are usually worse than worthless because they are sure to become soaked from con­ densation on the pipe and thus to invite instead of repel frost. This is especially true where the pipes lead to elevated tanks from wells of cold water, be­ cause in any weather when the temperature is above that of the wai­ ter, condensation is likely to occur. The simplest construction of an ef­ fective protecting frost box, says the Orange Judd Farmer, is constructed with three dead air spaces well ceiled and extending from below the frost line up to the point of delivery at the tank or at the house. After the pipe is in place a box tube of one-half or three-quarters inch stuff and six inch­ es Inside diameter Is hollt with the Cross Section of Frost Box. pipe in the center. It is then ceiled outside with tar pa^er. Trimmers are then placed around the box to build another box upon, a two-inch air space being left between the two boxes. In like manner this box is celled and supplied with trimmers for an outside box of ship lap or matched boards to surround a second two-inch air space. Frost boxes so constructed will be found effective in any climate and are fully as satisfactory as more elabor- ately constructed ones. USE FOR OLD HORSE8HOIS. How They Can Be Made te Serve as Supports for Fence Rails. To make use of old horse shoes, •lightly straighten them and nail se­ curely to fence post where bars are wanted. If poles are used, these supports will prove to be the best that can be had. The ar- r a n g e m e n t i s quickly made and costs little, as a supply of old horse shoes is usually available either about the farm or at the v i l l a g e b l a c k - smith shop. Any kind of a post will do, but the , heavier the bet­ ter, in order to BAB POST. prevent sagging. The important point to observe in setting bar and gate posts as well as corner posts, is to put them down deep and tamp the earth very solidly around them. Bar posts should be set at least three feet in the ground four feet is none too deep where ti^e land is springy or inclined to heave. HOME WATER SUPPLY^ System of Piping Which Brings Com* fort and Ease to One Farmer. Farmers could have many more home comforts if they would judi­ ciously use the money wasted in oth­ er ways. We prize our waterworks very highly. We have hot and cold water in the bathroom, cellar and kitchen. Water is also supplied au­ tomatically to the stalls, hog houses, garden, hen houses, yards and hot­ beds. We have also a found tain on the lawn. This water, explains A Delaware farmer in writing to the Or­ ange Judd Farmer, is pumped by a windmi^ into a large tank from which pipes lead to various outlets. The windmill cuts all our fodder, grinds all the feed in addition to the pump­ ing, and does more than a man can da. / ' s A .Ji - Raising Squabs. The raising of squabs is now re­ ceiving great attention in this coun­ try, and multitudes are going into it. Grep.t claims are made for the large prrtits in the business, but It is cer­ tain that in some parts of the country t:ie business is being overdone, just hs the Belgian hare business was overdone before it. This should not discourage the people that wish to go into it, but it should make them cau­ tious about plunging in too heavily and without a due examination of the conditions, existing in the place in which the enterprise is to be started. HOW 5££p TO FARM. Conditions of Soil, Drainage, Ste* ( / Must Determine the Question. The depth to which a man plows his land has a bearing on the success of his farming. It is possible to plow too deep, and it is certainly possible to plow too shallow, to get the best results. But someone will ask, what is the best depth for plowing? That is an unanswerable question, because all kinds of conditions exist on farms, and those conditions are what must set the depth of plowing. The depth to which to plow is a problem that has been considered, with other ques­ tions, and not by itself, by our best Investigators. In the Investigations of the soils of southern Illinois, Prof. Hopkins found sections where the potash had been very much exhausted in the upper seven inches of Boil, so much so that the crops could not get enough of that element to make the growth they should make. The advice of Prof. Hopkins was to plow a little deeper and thus get the use of the potassium below the depth of the old plowings. Now, here was a case where the land had been farmed for so long a time that the potassium was exhausted in the soil usually turned Up by the plow. It la certain that if a new piece of soli were brought under cultivation in that region, the conditions would not be the same. This illustrates the fact that no rule can be laid down. How deep to farm must depend to a considerable extent on the drainage conditions existing on each field, says the Farmers' Review. If the land is flat and wet during a good deal of the growing season, no depth of plow­ ing will Increase its productiveness. The roots of plants .will, not strike below the water line, and if, during an unusually dry time, they did go down, it would be to rot when the water rose permanently around them. The character of the soil also has much to do with the depth of plow­ ing and cultivating. A clayey soil will not give as good results If plowed deep as a sandy soil, for the air will not readily penetrate the clayey soil to a certain depth, as it will the sandy soil, nor will the heat of the sun so quickly warm it up to a point where the seeds will germinate in it Sandy land can and should be plowed quite deep, for a number of reasons. One of these is that it dries out more quickly than clayey soil, as clay con­ tains more water than sandy soil. The sandy loam will therefore facili­ tate the deep growing of roots, as the roots easily penetrate the interstices between the particles of soil. There is still doubt that the soil can be utilized several Inches deeper than Is usually the caB$. Subsoil, plowing has proved very beneficial on some lands, but not on others, and here again comes in an illustration of the fact that we cannot lay down any rule that will prove of value on all lands. The depth of plowing must depend some on the fertility that can be applied to the soil and Ita ability to be aerated. y . «• •TORINO THE CORN CROK Crib Which Can Be Made Rat and Bird Proof.

This room is 20 feet long and has a swing, wire door on the end to raise out of the way for unloading corn from the wagon. There is a space 8x4 % feet on the north end which is Covered with matched boards and separated from the corn by a movable fence of boards, giving room for shelling and being protected from the cold winds.

D. E. Blankenship, 319 N. Del. St., Indianapolis, Ind., Oct 27, 1905." Chandler's Joke on Conkllng. Roscoe Conkllng was a capital boxer and quite proud of his skill. One evening after considerable banter he Induced Senator Chandler to "put on the gloves" with him. He played with Chandler for a few rounds, much to the discomfiture of the downeaster. The latter bided his time and some time later quietly brought a profes­ sional pugilist to dinner where Conk­ llng was a guest. In the course of the "evening "Mr. Smith" was induced to engage In a boxing bout with Mr. Conkllng. The professional danoed around the senator, landing when and where he wished, playing with him as he would with a punching bag. The elegant New York senator was dazed, overwhelmed, humiliated, crushed. When he surrendered and called enough, as he did at last, Senator Chandler smiled blandly and presented tjia pugilist in his true colors. ' i- V" k T( •», •'*,•'} f $ f SKETCH OF THE UFB OF LYDIA E PtNKHAM '4# : • Mi' JPhfs remarkable woman, maiden name was Estes, was born in Lynn, Mass., February 9th, 1819, com­ ing from a good old Quaker family, For some years she taught school, and became known as a woman of an alert end investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully thetic nature. sympa- And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and How the "Panic of *73" Caused It to be Offeredjfor Public Sale In Drug Stores* •... • nestore tffj© famfly--fortune.' jTteey , argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world. The Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and „ herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling' a gross of bottles. Then came the question of selling: ifc, for always before they had giveio it away freely. They hired a Job printer to run oil some pamphlet* setting forth the merits of the medi­ cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Piakham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used ii recommended it to others, and the de* mand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the fam­ ily had saved enough money to com­ mence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until to­ day Lydia E. Pin^baia and her Vege­ table Compound have become house­ hold words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annu­ ally in its manufacture. Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her reward years ago, but not till she had provided means for continuing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself. During her long and eventful expe­ rience she was ever methodical in her work and she was always careful to pre­ serve a record of every case that came to her attention. The case of every sick woman who applied to her for advice-- and there were thousands--received careful study, and the details, includ­ ing symptoms, treatment and results were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since, are available to sick women the world over, and represent a vast collabora­ tion of information regarding the treatment of woman's ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library in the world. With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham. She was carefully instructed „ in all her hard-won knowledge, and for years she assisted her in her vast correspondence. To her hands naturally fell the direction of the work when its origina­ tor passed away. For nearly twenty- five years she has continued it, and.' nothing in the work shows when the fimt Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her* pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham now the mother of a large family, took: it up. With woman assistants, some M capable as herself, the present Mrs. Pinkham continues this great work,and probably from the office of no other person have so many women been ad­ vised how to regain health. Sick wo­ men, this advice is "Yours for Health" freely given If you only write to ask for it. Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound; made from simple roots and herbs ; the one great medicine for women's ailments, and the fitting monument to the noble woman whose name it bears. ' i In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had lour children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days It was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies-- calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and ex­ perience many of them gained a won­ derful knowledge of the curative prop­ erties of the various roots and herbs, Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the Study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in the harvest- fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies ex­ pressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medi • cines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combina­ tion of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses p^cu ' liar to the female sex, and Lydia E.Pink- ham's friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them.. All this so far was done freely, with­ out money and without price, as a labor of love. But in 1878 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centen­ nial year dawned it found their prop- m erty swept away. Some other source 9 of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world. The three sons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to % •:vl How to Save DOLLARS in Cooking and Heating It has cost many stove users HUNDREDS OF WASTED DOLLARS to find this out.
