All Doctors have tried to cuie catarrh by the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form. Their powders dry up the mucuous membranes causing them to crack open and bleed. The pow erful acids used in the Inhalers have entirely eaten away the same mem branes that their matters nave aim ed to cure, while pastes and oint ments cannot reach the disease. An old and experienced practitioner who has for many years made a close study and ppee.ialty of the treatment of catarrh, has at last perfected a treatment which when faithfully used, not only relieves at once, but permanently cures catarrh, by re moving the cause, stopping the dis charges and curing all inflammation. It Is the only remedy known to science that actually reaches the af flicted parts.

Published in Atlanta, Georgia, in the heart of the great South, it bears upon it the impress of its birthplace and environ ment. For more than twenty-five years the. Sunny South has been a recognized factor in the field of Southern literature. - It was estab lished more than a quarter of a cen tury ago as a Southern story paper and was published for a long time as a weekly and then as a monthly. About one year ago the paper passed under new management, and less than a year it has Jumped from a circulation of 12,000 to nearly 60,- 000. The first thing the new man. agement did was to make it a week' ly publication and to reduce the price to fifty cents ' per year less than one cent an issue and then to infuse into its columns ail the enter prise and literary ability that moaey could command or determination se cure. In less than a year this re markable Southern literary paper has become national in character and it now has about as many subscribers north of Mason and Dixon's line as it has in the South. Its columns abound in the best current literature of characteristic Southern flavor, and no literary periodical published any where in the country has succeeded in bringing together as many South ern writers of note as has been done by the Sunny South. A striking feature of the Sunny South's development is Its introduc tion during the past year of many new story writers who will be heard ! 1 rt . . a.. aadV k m m mt rnt ft Tflal if from iu the wider field of the world's literature. Iu almost every South era state new literary talent has been developed to such an exteut as to put 'the whole country to talking about the Sunny South. A few months ago the Sunny South ottered very handsome prizes for a scries of the best short stories by Southern writer, and more than five hundred responses were received. Some of the stories then published in the Sunny South have been reproduced the world over. Others are now he- Incr published by it from week to week. The fact that the price of this splendid weekly periodical Is only fifty cents a year has had a wonder ful effect in giving it an extensive field for the development of its plans aud purposes. Perhaps no literary periodical ever established has made such rapid strides as the Sunny South in less than a year. Mrs. Mary E. Bryan, whose name has long been associated with the Sunny South, has been engaged to take full charge ot the woman's de partment.. Her services will appeal especially to woiqen readers through out the country, as the striking charm of her own pusonality pre vades every column of her most in teresting department. The distinctive characteristics of Southern authors have always been a great charm to their readers. The liberal use of matter by the leading magazines of the United States shows that high regard prevalent for South- era literary talent. The quaint stories of Joel Chandler Harris iu folk-lore of tbe Southern plantations. and the stories by him and by Thos. Nelson Page, Will N. Harben, Har ry Stlllwell Edwards and others of those Interesting phases of human character so plentiful in the South are read with consuming interest and seized upon by publishers wltlireat avidity. The literary flavor of the Sunny South will be far above the ordinary story paper and an examination of oua copy, will show clearly and plain ly lo all its scope in its great special field. Some of the most pro nineut of the world's writers have been list ed for special stories for Ihe Sunny South during the current year. It Is a pleasure to know that the South has at last secured a literary paper of which the whole country is proud. The Sunny South's growing circu lation throughout Ihe Union, and in all parts ot It alike, Is an indication of its wide-spread field. Its fresh, crisp editorials, serlul stories from authors of the widest note and grow ing fame and Interesting short stories from every quarter make it accept able everywhere. It is cot a news paper In any sense, but Is devoted exclusively to the field of literature. It will come as a refreshing visitor every week lo your home lor only fifty cents per year. If you have never seen a copy of it, send today for It on a postal card addressed to the Sunny .South, Atlanta, Ga., give also tbe names of six of your neigh bors and special friends who may also have this treat. We are pleasad to know that Southern enterprise places this pa per In Ihe hands of our people. SYTKCT ESS1LAUE. About three years ago Hun. Ben ton Klllen, a regent of the State Ag ricultural College, at Corvaliis, whs at a fish cannery at Alaska, He had to slay at the cannery because it was where the steamers touched- return ing to southern ports, but the IhihIs tarry but a few minute!!, and Intend ing passengers must be ready to step aboard. The sf comer Mr. Kill en expected to bring him home was due and might come at any hour, or might delay twenty hours, but he had to watch. As a matter of fact, It was delayed, and he had much time for examining bis surround ings, but there was nothing to etc eicept the monotonous canning of fish. Mr. Klllen, after a time, began to think. FIrni, of the time when fish were not canned, hut salted and dried. Then the bene fits of canning fish; superiority over salt fish. He then naturally took the canning of other substances, fruit and vegetables. Then how the canned products served as an Improved food con sumed out of season by man, and only man. But why not preserve food for cattle? Tbe thought aroused the regent. The canning process be fore him developed Interest. Every manipulation was scrutinized. He saw that the only secret was lo kill germs and prevent new ones from eel tins; aense to tha treated nub- stance. He revolved the mailer and when he stepped on tho dock at Portland, he loitered not, hut liusthsj t the Experiment Station, at Cor Vdllis. During the fall of 10(10, act ing on Mr. Kilieu's suggestion, the chemirit put up ensilage in small cans, in glans ars, subjected them to heat and sealed them. After time months, they were opened and the contents examined, The cornfodder sweet. The problem was solved as far as small package were concerned. The law of canning is universal for all sutatauccs. Only nieehanlcal hindrances would prevent long for age from being saved for the winter feeds of Ihe stock. Therefore it whs determined f carry the tost still further. Last summer several silos 12 feet high and & feet, in diameter were built of two-inch matched fir lumber. The staves are four or five iuches wide. These were filled with green corn. The further account of the experiment is well told by the Corvaliis Times, which is repro duced : After the silos had been filled, steam was introduced through a pli and I ho whole contents was heati d to a temperature of 212 degrees. The purpose of tho heating was to kill, if possible, the acetic acid germ9, and prevent the silagu from souring The results obtained so far, are of the most satisfactory character. The The silage came out when opened a few weeks ago as bright and green as when it was put in. Apparently no change whatever had taken place. Instead of being sour and discolored as is usual with silage, it looked exactly like it did when cut in the corn field. Stock to which it was fed left all other kinds of feed to eat It. Tiie chemical analysis that has been made gives an acetic acid content of but three-tenths of one pur cent. As the corn contained a sour ness of ooe-tonth of ono per cent when it went In, a development of two-tenths of one percent bus inter vened sluce iu weut into the alio. The fine result Is tiest understood, when compared with corn silage put up in the regular way last year, in which tho acid content ran from 1.08 to over two per cent. The discovery is not yet worked out. Several prolili mu arise in connection with it. The silo in which it was kept was only five feet in diameter. A sinirlH column of steam was elfis-tlvo in healing ull pttrts of It, but the question arises will it be equally tloetivo with a silo ton or twfeivo ftiet in diameter, and if not, how can Mio utcum bo ap lliod so us lo lu'Ht every portion of tho largor silos. Also sluco such hI I os mo-it Ik) Hi'veral times filled alter settling down, in what way and when can the steam bo applied ho as to obviate the difficulty, and secure tho ret;u!t3 possible In tho smaller silos. Also cati tho principle bo ex tended with equal success to clover, peas, vetches and alfalfa? To settle these and other similar points, three of tho larger silos will bo called into use 011 the steam plan next year. There Is tolerable certainty that the experiment at tho col logo with reference to ute of heat for saving silage from aeidity will yield favor able results. The progress already made foreshadows the ultimate suc cess of tho experiment. The result, coming as It doe at a time when the Willamette Valley is in the transition sfug from giain forming to diversified azricuUurc, will lo of incalculable value. At tho station there Is great atlsfiiction over tho discovery. Sweet silsge has been Dm dream of experimenters for years. Sou 10 of thrt famed scientists of the country have sjient vast energy and lime in the search for the secret. Tho elimi nation of sourenc- in silugo uicun green feed in volume and character to give animals tbe name food that they are afforded In tbe vegetation seasons.

Finally It means a balanced Mtlon of forige plants In Willamette whera such feed can tsj produced more luxuriant ly and more economically than in most any other slate, or country. It Is said that ill ) Dahcot'k Test, discovered in an experiment station, has been of far more value to the world than all tho experiment sta tionsof Ihe country have cost from the beginning to tho present tln;e Of wttHt Inestimable vnlue will Ihe new siiatro kUii he.
