AN HONEST DOCTOR
ADVISED PE-RU-NA.
MR. SYLVESTER E. SMITH, Room
218, Granite Block, St. Louis, Mo.,
writes: "Peruna is the best friend a
sick man can have.
"A few months ago I came here in a
wretched condition. Exposure and
dampness had ruined my once robunt
health. I had catarrhal affections of
the bronchial tubes, and for a time there
was a doubt as to my recovery.
"My good honest old doctor adviaea
mo to take Feruna, which I did and in
a short time my health began to im
. prove very rapidly, the bronchial
trouble gradually disappeared, and in
three months my health was folly re
stored. "Accept a grateful man's thanks for
bis restoration to perfect health."

"I am using your Per una myself, and
am recommending it to my patients in

more than you represent. Peruna can
be had now of all druggists in this sec
tion. At the time I began using It, it
was unknown."

Feet of the Home.
The usefulness of a horse depends
largely upon the quality! his feet If
they are sound and well taken care of
he is able to travel and work well,
but if they are defective and neglected
his usefulness is Impaired and he can
not be depended on In any emergency,
as he Is liable, when his services are
most needed, to become partially if not
wholly disabled, resulting in serious
loss to his owner. But few horses are
born with perfect feet, yet the defects
by carefui treatment are often entire
ly cured; also many horses with sound
hoofs are practically ruined by the
ignorance or carelessness of black
smiths.
The proper shoeing of horses and the
general care of their feet Is a matter
that should receive the strict attention
of every farmer, and yet, as a rule.
it Is wofully neglected. The farmer
should have knowledge of the natural
formation of a horse's foot, so as to be
able to determine whether the animal
Is being nrooerlv shod or not, and
while that Is being done he should
never go nwny find Ichvp trip smith to
slight the work to get through with It
or butcher Its feet If he does not un
derstand his business.
While no definite rules for shoeing
horses can be given, some general prin
clples are acknowledged by all com'
petent horeeshoers, namely, the heel
should never be cut except to remove
a ragged point The same Is true of
the frog, which Is an elastic cushion

den shock to the foot. The butteris
Is an instrument that may do an 1m
tneuse amount of damage in the hands
of an Incapable operator. Much mis
chief Is done by It every day.
When the toe is too long and projects
beyond the hoof, it causes stumbling
and it should be shorteaed. ,A hot Iron
should never be applied to the foot to
ascertain its evenness, as many black
smiths do merely to save time, when
they know it Is not right A seared
surface between the hoof and the shoe
makes the contact less perfect and the
shoe necessarily less rigid than It ought
t be.
The outside of the hoof should not be
rasped more than Is necessary to clinch
the nails, as this thins the crust and re
duces the strength of the bearing sur
face of the foot. Weakening and decay
are sometimes the result of this prac
tice. Oil applied to the hoofs occasion
ally during dry -eather Is beneficial.
At four years old each jaw shows
four permanent teeth, whose tables are
worn to the same level. The dividers
are worn upon both of their borders.
ix)OKea ac irom tue side, the corner
teeth are quite small.
At four and a half years the nippers
slmw wear on both edges. The corner
teeth and the hook or canine teeth are
in evidence.
An Agricultural Pest.
So great have been trie ravages
caused by the dodder a leafless, twin
ing, parasitic plant that a decree has
been issued by the French President
prohibiting its importation into the
country. It Is a veritable agricultural
scourge, attacking and destroying hops,
vines, clover, peas, tomatoes and many
other kinds of agricultural produce,
Once having found Its way into any dls
trlct, It is most difficult to get rid of,
and constitutes a permanent source of
anxiety to the farmer. Cutting down,
burning and poison have all been tried
with unsatisfactory results.
Unprofitable Experimenting;,
In the entire realm of scientific In
vestlgatlon there Is nothing more inter
esting and marvelous than the growth
and development of plants from the
beginning or the germination of the
seed to the reproduction of the germ,
To Tell a Horse's Age,
Each species of plant has its distinct
ive character aud life habits and only
flourishes where naturul conditions are
favorable to Its growth. To attain any '
aegree or perfectiou, the soil and cllm- 1
ate combined must be such as the
plants require, although a moderate de-1
gree of success may be attained when
either of these factors are not exactly
suited to Its growth, but where both
are deficient in any considerable de-1
gree the plant can not be successfully
grown, except by artificial means '
wherehv thft noppRHnrv ,ii '
" j uuiuini lunur
tions are created. If the chemical com-!
position of the soil Is favorable, and
climatic conditions unfavorable, the j
latter can be created artificially such
as protection from cold and excessive
heat and lack of moisture and, like
wise, if the soil Is deficient In the
chemical elements which the plant re
quires, they can be added to, but In
either case the process Is laborious and
expensive and the results unsatisfac
tory. -All plants are Indigenous to
certain kinds of soil, and all soils are
especially adapted to the growth of
certain kinds of plants, aud nature can
not be improved upon In any way, nor
can 'her deficiencies be successfully
remedied by artificial means. In order,
therefore, to be successful in his busi
ness, the farmer must "keep close to
nature and mark well her ways." lie
must raise only such crops as are best
adapted to the soil of his farm, In ac
cordance with his experience, and
wholly refrain from extensive experi
ments with such as are of doubtful
utility.
, Keeps Chickens at Home.
An Iowa man has designed an anti-
flying chlcken-wlng attachment having
In view to prevent the annoyance and
damages incident
to chickens scratch
ing in your neigh
bor's garden. The
device is attached
to the chicken's
wing. It Is made
of parallel pieces
of wire bent into
stops flvino. the form or an el
bow, with a hook at the bend.
To apply the attachment to a chick
en s wing It Is slipped over tne wing.
and by placing the parallel sides toward
each other the hook can be snapped in
position and retained by the resiliency
of the wire. The hook will be on the
inner corner of the wing and will pre
vent the device from slipping off. The
chicken will thus be prevented from
spreading the wing as required to fly
and thereby unable to get over a fence
iuto the neighbor's garden.
Leather Shoes fur Horses.
In some districts of Australia hors?s
are shod with leather, Instead of iron,
says Harper's Bazar. This plan Is em
ployed only in regions where the
ground Is permanently covered with
grass, or fine sand, and gives the feet
better support. Iu a country such as
Australlu, where a horseman may ex
perience great dilliculty, at n critical
moment in finding a horseshoe, such an
funovation Is a useful novelty. With
extra shoes, whose weight Is a trifle,
and which can be fitted without trou
ble, it Is practicable to travel without
fear of the horse losing Its shoe and
being injured. Though the latter shoe
Is more expensive than the Iron shoe,
the higher price Is repaid by the su
perior advantages.
Houses of Corn Cobs.
In some parts of Europe corn cobs
are used for building purposes. The
cobs are collected and tuken to a fac
tory, where heavy compresses crush
and mold them into blocUs of various
sizes, Just as bricks are variously
molded. These blocks are then bound
with wire so as to make them hold to
gether. They are then soaked In tur
to make them water-tight, and c.rt)
ready for use after this treatment Of
course, they are much lighter than
bricks, are always dry, and make guod
houses. This Is but one of the very
many ways In which Europe shows n
greater economy than Amerca does.

Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, which is
carried through the circulation to all portions of the system. Every muscle,
nerve, bone and joint absorbs the acrid, pain-producinf poison, causing
aches, inflammation, stiffness and other well known symptoms of the disease.
Permanent relief from the pains and discomfort of Rheumatism cannot be
expected from the use of liniments, plasters, and other external treatment
which does tint reach the blood, where the cause is located. Such measures
give temporary relief, but in order to cure Rheumatism the uric acid and
inflammatory poison must be expelled from the blood. S. S. S. cures
Rheumatism because it is a perfect blood purifier. It goes down into the
circulation, neutralizes the uric acid and drives it from the blood. S. S. S. '
expels the irritating, inflammatory matter which is 6ausing the pain, swell
ing and other discomfort, enriches the weak, sour blood, and permanently
cures Rheumatism. In all forms of Rheumatism, whether acute or chronic,
S. S. S. will be found a safe, vegetable remedy, possessing the properties
needed to cure, and at the same time a medicine that builds up the entire
system by its line tonic effects. Book on Rheumatism and any medical advice
