"1 bad not been well for about four
years. I had kidney trouble, and, in fact,
felt badly nearly alt the time.
"This summer I got so very bad I
thought I would try Peruna, so I wrote
to you and began at once to take Peruna
and Manalin.
"I took only two bottles of Peruna
and one of Manalin, and now I feel
better than I have for some time.
"I feel that Peruna and Manalin
cured me and made a different woman
of me altogether. I bless the day I
picked up the little book and read of
your Peruna."
It b the business of the kidneys to re
move from the blood all poisonous mater

times when they need a little assist

That pretty ears are not always the
best seed corn has been shown by the
experiments at the Ohio Station. They
selected twenty-four extra fine ears, all
of the same variety. The seed of these
were planted, each ear In a row by It
self, and thinned to three stalks In a
bill, so that each ear bad the same
chance as Its neighbor. One ear out of
the twenty-four yielded at the rate of
114 bushels per acre, another 112 and
third 104 bushels, while other ears
made fifty-five, sixty-five and seventy-
seven bushels per acre. The row that
made the smallest yield had fifty-eight
barren stalks. The row next to the
highest had fifteen barren stalks, and
the row that made sixty-five bushels
had fifty-two barren stalks. Tho ears
were all of equal appearance and of
equal germinating quality. The re
sults show very plainly that what we
have been for years Insisting upon, that
the breeding of corn In the field, the
removal of disturbing Influences about
It, and the working toward an Ideal
plant as a whole, a plant of productive
character rather than big ears, are all
of far more Importance than the selec
tion of fine ears by the score card
without any knowledge of the breeding
of the corn. Selection of the largest
ears tends toward single-ear production.
for It Is a law of nature that when we
Increase the size of the Individual fruit
of any plant we will decrease the num
ber of fruits, and when we Increase
the number we decrease the size of
the individual fruits. But It has also
been shown that a stalk with two or
more medium-sized ears of corn wrtl
make more corn than a stalk with one
big ear. In a test made for the yield
of, grain, one sample was from a sin-
gle-epred plant, one from a two-eared
one, one from a three-eared one and
one from a four-eared one, and the
quantity of corn shelled Increased ex
actly with the number of ears on the
plant The breeding In the field to
breed out barren stalks Is the essential
matter l developing the productive
character of the corn, and the best
ears are merely relative and not by
any means the largest

Potatoes tor Planting;.
In digging potatoes, known to be
pure seed and of the same variety, fre
quent variations may often be noticed.
Some of these are due only to differ
ences of soil, but others are true
"sports,'. 'and will jeproduco their kind
if planted another I year. If these
"sports" are usually productive and
valuable they should be carefully
saved for planting. In this way tome
of the best varieties of potatoes have
been originated, one or two kinds of
Ute rose being prominent Instances,
53
Strawberries.
The strawberry propagates Itself In
tivo way by runners and by seed. If
the runners are kept from rooting, the
vine will make an effort to reproduce
Itself from seed (production of berries)
la the spring, and some horticulturists
have given as their opinion that If the
vines are not allowed to throw out run
ners In the summer there will be no
loss of vitality by the old plants, and
the matter Intended to be converted In
to runners will be stored in the plants
and converted Into fruit when tho
proper time arrives. -The first thing to
do after harvesting the crop is to thor
oughly clean between the rows and
pull out the weeds between the plants
In the rows, so as to give the beds the
benefit of the hoe as mucb as possible.
Moisture Is always beneficial to straw
berry plants, and the ground should bo
worked deep at first and then kept
loose on the surface until late In the
fall, when the vines may be mulched.
Burning the beds should be done when
the ground Is frozen. This, It Is claim
ed, will enable the plants to begin anew
In Che spring, the old plants being
thereby Invigorated, the ashes provid
ing potash, and the seeds of weeds de
stroyed. Leaves, straw or other ma
terials may be placed over the plants
before winter sets In, to remain as a
mulch until early In the spring. Fer
tilizer Is applied both just after har
vest and early in the spring. Potted
plants are runners that are grown In
pots, close to the parent plants, each
runner being separated from Its parent
when It Is well rooted In the pot It
Is transplanted from the pot to the
open ground. t
Coal Aahaa.
In one ton of ashes from bituminous
coal are S pounds of potash, 0 pounds
of phosphoric acid, 38 pounds of lime
and a large proportion of waste mat
ter. Coal ashes are said to be about
equal to clay, and are nearly of the
same composition. Tbey possess little
or no value as a fertilizer, but serve
to assist light sandy soils to retain
moisture, answering the same purpose
as clay. The percentage of potash and
phosphoric acid contained Is too small
In quantity to pay for hauling and
spreading coal tfshes on the ground as
fertilizer. If any benefit is derived
it is due to the mechanical effect of the
ashes on the soil and as an absorbent
material.
Storing Potatoes.
There Is more loss storing potatoes
than In storing any other crop. Barring
all waste from rot, there Is a heavy
shrinkage, both In quantity and weight
A bin holding 100 bushels will show a
shrinkage of nearly one-tenth, besides a
greater loss in weight. A Jwshel basket
full that will weigh fully sixty pounds
in October, when takeu from the soli,
will not weigh so much after being
stored in the cellar during the winter.
The shrinkage In weight Is much less
when kept In pits closely covered with
earth, for there is then less chance for
evaporation.
H orae , B reed 1 n sr.
To a careful observer It is clear that
horses are now better classified than
formerly. Thus the horse that Is best
adapted to rond purposes Is placed nt
such work, and the horse that Is suited
best to the plow and heavy hauling has
Its own proper work assigned. Hence
the advantage of breeding for a pur
pose. The man who makes the best
success of rearing horses Is the one who
clearly understands the situation, and
breeds what is most desirable for his
customers.
Graalngr on Rye.
The practice or turning cows on
young ryln the fall Is a good one, but
when the ground Is very wet damage
may result. Grazing the rye causes It
to stool, and the young rye provides
late green food; but, while the rye field
may be used for cows In the fall, they
Ehould not be urned on too early in
the spring. It does not do so much
harm for cows to change from grass to
rye, as it does from dry food In the
spring to young rye.
Keep Sbdu.
Every farmer should have a few
sheep, In order to save much of the ma
terial grown that may be wasted. Sheep
will eat a great many plants which cat
tie reject, and they graze closer to the
ground. Young and tender,weeds are
delicious to sheep, and they, therefore.
assist In ridding the fields of such pests.
A small flock of mutton sheep should be
kept, if for no other purpose than to
supply the family with choice meat
Keeping- Animal In Condition.
If the animals are allowed to run
down In flesh It will be a loss to the
farmer, as he Is then compelled to re
store them to their original condition
before he makes a gain. At the same
time, there Is a waste of many days,
as the animals are below their normal
condition, which is lost time that can
never be regained.
Feeainat Cabbaare to Ponltvr.
The small and Inferior cabbages are
valuable as food for poultry, and will

green food is scarce. They are easily

GOLD TS BHQDESIA.
Intareattaar Data Given by the Unit
ed States ConaaL
Consul John II. Snodgrass of Pre
toria furnishes the following report on
the mining and industrial development
of the' British-African colony of Rho
desia "The expansion of the gold Industry
in Rhodesia to the annual production
of $10,000,000 of the metal has been ac
complished by the small Investor and
Individual effort rather than by means
of capital Small reefs have been dis
covered In this territory, and many are
confidently predicting that Bhodesla In
a few years may perhaps excel the
Transvaal in the production of the
precious metals. Small operators with
little capital by their own efforts have
of late been extracting nearly one
third of the total amount of gold
found, and their earnings have been
spent mostly in the colony, as a con
sequence cf which there has been a re
vival of trade. While such crops as
tobacco, cotton and wool have been try
ing to find their way Into the distant
markets, local demands for grain,
fruits and fresh meats are being met
more and more by the Rhodeslan agri
culturists themselves.
Rhodesia's output of other minerals
than gold has Increased and several
new industries have come Into life dur
ing the year. Pioneer settlers along
the Cape to Cairo railroad have proved
that what could be done In South
Africa could also be done farther
north, and some remarkable crops have
been grown. The Kafue river, the
bridging of which was aa engineering
feat second only to that accomplished
at the Victoria falls, afterward proved
to be a useful waterway, for It extends
100 miles, and several steam and sail
ing craft have already, been put on lt
The close of 1006 saw that launching
of a great scheme for the Supply of
electricity for the Rand, and Rhodesia
Is Interested In this from the fact that
It is the Intention to derive a vast
amount of that power from the, Vic
toria falls.
'In the return of a generally Rho
deslan prosperity it Is only natural
that the railways should play an Im
portant part though they have suf
fered badly as other lines of Indus
try on account of the long-drawn-out
depression that overcast all South
Africa. - The report of the Rhodeslan
railways for the year 1906 shows that
the gross earnings for the first eleven
months totaled $2,393,900, which , is
equal to $2,661,000 per annum, as
against $2,316,500 In 1906; the net
revenue was $988,500, as compared
with $534,000 In 1905. This represents
an annual gain of 12 per cent In net
Income. An approximate estimate of
the traffic during 'the year puts the
gross earnings at $2,711,000 and the
net revenue at $l,0l4,500.',

Ha Bet Ha Could Milk n Cow, but

Catarrh is not merely an inflammation of the tissues of the head and"
throat, as the symptoms cf ringing noises ia the ears, mucous dropping back
into the throat, continual hawking and spitting, etc., would eeem to indi
cate; it is a blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greater
part of the system are involved. Catarrh is due to the presence of an excess
cf uric acid in the blood. The Liver, Kidneys and Bowels frequently be
come torpid and dull la their action and instead of carrying off the refuse:
and waste of the body, leave it to eour and form uric acid ia the system;
This is taken up by tie blood and through its circulation distributed to all
parts oi tne system. These impurities la the blood irritate and inilama
the different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting
of a cold will start the secretions and other disgusting- and disagreeable
symptoms of Catarrh, As the blood goes to all parts of the body the ca
