HEALTH VERY POOR-
RESTORED BY PERUNA
Catarrh Twenty-five Years
Had a Bad Cough.
Miss Sophia Kittleson, Evanston,
Illinois, U. S. A., writes:
"I have been troubled with catarrh
for nearly twenty-five years, and have
tried many cares for it, bat obtained
very little help.
"Then my brother advised me to try
Peruna, and I did.
"My hoalsh was very , poor at the
time I began taking Peruna. My throat
was very eore and I had a bd couzh.
"Peruna has cured me. The chronic
catarrh Is gone and my health is very
much improved.
"I recommend Peruna to all my
friends who are troubled as I was."
PERUNA TABLETS: Some people pre
fer tablets, rather than medicine in a
fluid" form. Such people can obtain
Peruna tablets, which represent the
medicinal ingredients of Peruna.
Each tablet equals one average dose
of Peruna.

Hard to Do Without Pocket.
; "The most annoying thing in navy
life for a recruit is the absence of
side pockets in the uniform trousers,"
J. It. Rose, a yeoman at the navy re
cruiting station, said this morning.
"The average man doesn't realize how
strong is the custom of thrusting his
hands in his trousers pockets until he
dons a pair without pockets. I've worn
the navy uniform four years now, and
I frequently find myself trying to put
my hands in my pockets." Kansas City

Farm Labor. ,
One of the greatest problems con
fronting agriculture is competent farm
help that can be secured at a compen
sation proportionate to the net earn
ings for the farmer. Manufactures,
mining and railroads furnish employ
ment to a vast number of workers who
are under trained foremen and their
wages are graduated according to the
amount of product they can turn out.
Manufacturers and transportation cor
porations are capitalized and the in
vestment is required to earn a fixed
dividend for the stockholders. The
earnings are expected to exceed the
dividends, operating expenses and fixed
charges to create a surplus fund to
conduct affairs in emergencies and dur
ing panics without stopping dividends.
The farmer is compelled to compete
fn the open market for help to conduct
his agricultural operations. While the
farmer is delighted if his Investment
returns a reasonable profit, he has no
r cturse if the season's results are con
ducted at a loss. The manufacturer in
timer of financial stringency to protect
stockholders discharges a part of his
force, reduces their wages or runs his
plant on shorter hours. The farmer
can only protect himself from exorbi
tant wages by the purchase of costly
labor-saving machinery.
" The world moves forward and 'the
higher cost" of living, the increase in
value of farm lands and the higher
prices of agricultural products will not
boou revert to old low standards. The
farmer will not find cheap labor of
fered In the market except by Ineffi
cient employes. .
Agriculture . Is annually becoming
more of a business proposition and the
standard of labor advanced on the
farm. The farm laborer must under
stand modern agricultural machinery
and how to operate it to obtain employ
ment. Machinery is too expensive to
be trusted with inexperienced opera
tors, and the man who can skillfully
handle 'modern farm Implements is in
demand on the farm at a wage scale
that will compare favorably with the
employes In industrial enterprises.
Farmers are now practical business
men and the majority of them keep
books on farm operations and know the
amount of their profit and loss 'annual
ly. Farming as a profession is becom
ing more attractive and diversified and
labor needs to be more skilled to meet
new conditions of agriculture. The in
ducements are potential for-young men
to qualify as farm laborers and the
field 'offers as brilliant prospects as
any other profession. The farmer Is
not so much In quest of cheap labor s
efficient help and is willing to pay a
wage scale proportionate to the ability
and proficiency of the laborer as an up-to-date
farm hand. Goodall's Farmer.
Carrying; a Trunk tn Bukkjt.
To carry a trunk or any bulky ar
ticle in a small buggy, make a frame
out of , two pieces of one and one-half
by two-Inch scantlings eight feet long.
Nail a board across the ends as shown
In A of the accompanying illustration.
Place the free ends beneath the seat
and under tibe foot rest in front, letting
the frame extend behind the buggy. The
trunk or box, explains Prairie Farmer,
can then be placed on the end of the
frame behind the seat of the buggy. It
should be tied on.
Effgra Variously Preserved.
Eggs are preserved in many other
ways besides cold storage. Often the
preservative Is effected by excluding
the air by coating, covering or immers
ing the eggs, some material or solu
tion being used which may or may not
be a germicide. An old domestic meth
od is to pack the eggs, in oats, bran or
salt; another consists in covering the
eggs with lime water, which may or
may not contain salt In Germany
sterilization is effected by placing in
bolllng'water from twelve to fifteen sec
onds. Sometimes they are treated to a
solution of alum or salicylic acid. Oth
er methods consist In varnishing with
a solution of permanganate of potash,
varnishing with collodion or shellac;
packing In peat dust, preserving In
wood ashes, treating with a solution of
boric acid and water glass, varnishing
with vaseline, preserving In lime wa
ter, preserving in a solution of water
glass. The last three methods "have
proved most successful. Infertile eggs
will keep much better than fertile egs
by any manner of preservation

New Farm Products.
Alfalfa was an unknown crop a few
years ago. . Now Jt is one of the most
relialla und profitable of Texas crops.
It has not been long since the onion
was produced only in a few short rows
for family use. Now the onion crop is
one of Texas' best advertisements. The
effort to raise for the market me
dicinal plants began with one enter
prising citizen of Grayson County only
a few years ago. Now this line is be
ing taken up and will be carried on for
all It Is worth. The list is growing
longer, and the prices of cotton and
other farm products' are better than
they used to be, and the man with the
hoe is growing more Independent The
sugar beet Is now being tested. Colo
rado holds first place in the production
of beet sugar in the United States,
with 422,732,530 pounds of sugar from
138,30(5,366 acres, while Michigan and
California are closely matched for sec
ond place, producing 105.000,000 and
164,000,000 pounds, respectively. The
sugar beet crop In this country last
year brought $4,500,000.
Tho present year will be an impor
tant season for experiments with the
sugar beet in Texas. Let the tests be
made under as good conditions as pos
sible. . There is really no doubt as to
the results in localities where the soil
Is of the right density and quality.
Lands that produce fine crops of beets
of the ordinary variety or the "biggest
turnips in the world" are quite sure to
break a few records in sugar beets if
given a fair test. Galveston News.

The Jndire and SI Wheat.
Maud Miller, in the summer's heat,
Raked the meadow thick with wheat
The judge rode slowly down the lane,
Smoothing his horse's chestnut mane.
"With wheat at a dollar per," said he,
"This maid is about the size for me."
Then he smiled at her and she blushed at
. bJm,
And over the meadow fence he clim.
"Will you marry me, sweet maid?" h
said,
And she told him "Yes," and they were
' wed.
Alas for maiden, alas for judge.
For old designer and wheat-field drudge,
Lord pity them both and pityus all,
For Maud didn't own the wheat at all.
And the judge remarked when he learned
the cheat :
"Don't talk to me about dollar wheat !"

How Animals Doctor Themselves.
Man might often take from the lower
animals a lesson as to the cure of him
self when ill. All sorts of animals suf
fering from fever eat little, He quiet in
dark, airy places and drink quantities
of water. When a dog loses his appe
tite he knows where to find chiendent
dog grass which acts as a purgative
and emetic. Sheep and cows, when ill,
seek certain herbs. Any animal suffer
ing from chronic rheumatism keeps as
far as possible in the sun. If a chim
panzee be wounded he has been seen
to stop the bleeding by a plaster of
chewed up leaves and grass.

Washington Farmers Ask Information '
on Various Subjects.
From th Wihinton guta Colltg Pullman.
The experiment station has received
a letter from J. A. B., of Everett, ask
ing how to exterminate the Canadian
thistle. Professor W. S. Thornber,
horticulturist, replied as follows : .
"The. Canadian thistle lssa hard
plant to fight, but by Judicious cut
ting and cultivation you can eradi
cate it. The plant must be kept from
forming a growth above the surface
ot the ground for at least one year
In order that your efforts for its ex
termination may be successful. The
plant spreads by underground stems,
or roots, which are thrown up at dis
tances of from three to six feet from
the parent plant, so merely destroy
ing the mother plant will not kill
th weed. A good cutting during
the month of June, followed by other
cuttings in the latter part of July
and on through August will check
the thistle materially, and may de
stroy it entirely. It Is generally
quite difficult to eradicate the plant
In pastures and fence corners, since
a small residue will be left unde
stroyed, which will grow durng the
.following year. There is no spray
that will kill It. Sometimes It is
helpful to cut the thistle off about
three Inches below the surface of
the ground, which causes the root
to rot by drying out. In cultivated
fields it is advisable to rake out the
underground stems, and allow them
to dry thoroughly before plowing
again.'
x Another letter from W. G. M., of
Mabton, made Inquiry concerning the
culture of English walnuts in 'that
region. Professor Thornber's reply
follows: v
"The selection of proper varieties
is very important, and up to the pres
ent time I have found only two va
irieties that are hardy enough to
thrive well under the conditions of
your locality. These two are the
Fayette and the Mayette. They are
not English walnuts, strictly speak
ing, but are the same species, and
are commonly spoken of as "Per
sian,' or 'English walnuts.' It will
be impossible for you to grow in a
commercial way "grafted trees of
these varieties, simply because the
operation of grafting is so difficult
that only a few are secured, and the
price of grafting stock is very high.
A better way is to secure good first
or second generation trees from re
liable nurserymen. Theses second
generation trees are grown from
nuts of first generation trees, usually
in Oregon and California. From my
personal experience, I should judge
that you will succeed remarkably
well if you secure good varieties
Almost any of our soils, if the sea
sons are not too severe, will grow
English walnuts, providing there is
not a shale, or hardpan, nearer than
three or four feet to the surface of
the ground. I understand that we
are obliged to watch these conditions
very closely in this section. I do not
recommend that English walnuts be
Bown in your region, yet I believe by
careful selection of varieties and of
the orchard grounds that they will
succeed in many places."
Another Inquiry from Seattle re
lates to the culture of chestnuts. The
correspondent was advised as fol
lows: "The American chestnut (the reg
ular, tall-growing variety) should be
pruned the same as any other shade
tree, leaving, however, a permanent,
or constant leader, through the cen
ter of the tree. This is the practice
of the Experiment Station, and one
that is used upon all forms of the
tall, or upright, growing trees. It is
also used upon the sweet cherries,
but not upon the sour ones.
"The tendency of this chestnut is
to produce a thin, open top, and it is
advisable to cut back the outer limbs,
and occasionally the leader, to thick
en the foliage. The Dwarf, or Jap
anese, chestnuts should be pruned
to small, compact trees, branching
them from a foot to three feet from
the ground. They will practically
take care of themselves after the
first year or two of pruning. This
pruning may be done at any time
while the tree la dormant, or after
the sap has ceased to flow, which
will be Immediately after it comes
Into full leaf."
A farmer residing near Center
vllle, desires to know the best meth
od of raising peas, and the most de
sirable variety; also, with regard to
combining peas with oats. The Sta
tion supplied him with the follow
ing information:
"The experience of the Experi
ment Station staff, leads us to be
lieve that almost any of the com
mon field variety of peas will grow
wall in your region. We advise the
Black-Eyed Marrow Fat as the best
general variety. Ordinarily we bow
the peas at the rate of one to one
and one-half bushels per acre, disk
ing or drilling them at least four
Inches deep. Sow the oats about a
week after the peas are sown, as
the latter grow so much stronger
and consequently, the oats will be
smothered out unless they are given
the advantage. We do not consider
that oats and peas are as good for
horses as for cows. The mlxtura
makes very rich,, nutritious hay."

Malaria is due to impurities and poisons in the blood. Instead of being
rich, strong and healthy, the circulation has become Infected with germs of
disease which destroy the rich, red corpuscles that furnish nourishment and
strength to the body, and reduced this vital fluid to such a weak, watery
condition that it is no longer able to keep the system in health, or ward off
the countless diseases and disorders that assail it. The loss of these
red corpuscles takes the color and glow of health from the cheek, and we
see pale, sallow faces and washed out, chalky complexions among the first
symptoms of Malaria. But Malaria is a general systemic disease, and as
the blood becomes more heavily loaded with its germs we have more serious
ind complicated symptoms; the impure blood having its effect on all parts
cf the body. The appetite fails, digestion is weakened, chills and slight
lever are frequent, and the sufferer loses energy and ambition because of a
constant tired-out and " no account " feeling. The lack of necessary nour
ishment and healthful qualities in
the blood causes boils and abscesses,
skin affections, and in 6ome cases
Sores and ulcers to break out, and
sometimes the patient is proatrated
with a spell of malarial fever which
may leave his health permanently
impaired. To cure Malaria both a
blood purifier and tonic are necessary,
in order to remove the cause and at
the same time build up the system
from its weakened and run-down
condition. S. S. S. is the medicine
best fitted for this work. It is the
most perfect of all blood purifiers, and
the purely vegetable ingredients of
which it is composed make it the
greatest and safest of all tonics.
t S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and removes every trace of impurity
j or poison, and at the same time gives to the blood the health-sustaining qual
j ities it needs. It cures Malaria thoroughly and permanently because it
removes the germs and poisons which produce the disease, and while doing
this tones up and strengthens every part of the system. When S. S. S. has
cleansed the blood the symptoms pass away, the healthy color returns to
the complexion, the old tired, depressed feeling is gone, and the entire health
is renewed. Book with information about Malaria and any medical advice

MAL
During 1900 I was running farm on
the Mississippi river and became so impreg
nated with Malaria that for a ;ar I was
almost a physical wreck. I tried a number
of medicinea recommended as blood purifi
ers, chill cures, and Malaria eradicatort,
but nothing did me any good until I began
to use S. S. 8. The result was that after
taking it for awhile I was at well and
strong as I aver was. I have never had a
chill since nor the slightest symptom of
Malaria. I hope others will be benefited
oj mr experience, and with that end In
view I give this testimonial, knowing that
8. S. S. is the best remedy for Malaria.
