An irritable stomach will produce a cough. Stomach coughs are more com mon than is generally supposed- Catarrh will also produce a cough. Catarrh of the bronchial tubes. Ca tarrh of the larynx. Catarrh of the pharynx. In a catarrhal cough the amount of expectoration is limited. It is not so easy to raise as in cases of organic dis eases of the lungs. It may be frothy or stringy mucus, diilkult to expecto rate. People will go on for months with this sort of a cough and give it no attention. Ordinary cough medicines that are intended to lull the sensitive nerves that are irritated by the catarrh will do no good. In faec they do harm. What is needed is Peruna, which strikes at once at the cause of such a cough. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. As soon as the catarrh is removed from the throat and bronchial tubes the cough disappears. Usually the directions on the bottle are sullieicnt. In some cases where the cough is very continuous and an noying a tablespoonful every hour is a j ueuer way 10 iae it. nut a multitude of people who are suffering with this ' sort of cough and yet going about their usual business need only take the Peru na according to the directions on the ! bottle.

EXCELLENT TIME FOR LAYING Not Advisable to Have Pullets Pr duolng Eggs Before October Cold Weather Hinders. Many poultry raisers believe that the sooner pullets start laying the greater the financial returns will be, but this Is not always the case. It Is not advisable to have pullets laying before October at the earliest, except In the few cases where winter eggs are not wanted. If the birds start lay ing earlier than October the cold weather comes around, and probably will not start again until the winter Is nearly over. If they start laying by July or August, as very early hatched pullets sometimes do, they usually moult In the fall and do not lay again until February. But It Is equally bad if they do not start laying by the middle of November, as they probably will not start in until the end of January at the earliest and perhaps not until the end of February or the beginning of March. The time the pullets are hatched has more to do with the time they start laying than anything else, but the system of feeding has consid erable to do with It also. If pullets are maturing too quickly they should! receive free range and be fed only once a day, about 8 or 4 o'clock In the afternoon being the best time. Tne food should be only dry grain, and oats are about as good as anything for the purpose. As soon as the early pullets freely receive nutritious foods they start laying. USE WHEELBARROW SEEDER friplement Is Hitched to Harrow by Means of Rope Attached to Pipe Saves One Operation. This makes a handy way to use a irheelbarrow seeder behind a harrow. I used a four-section harrow with It and lapped what the seeder didn't cover each time. I harrowed around the field to avoid turning short around, writes O. S. Newberry of Meade. Kan., in the Farmers' Mail and Breeze. I simply tied a chain behind the barrow as far as the seed er went, then followed this mark next time so as to cover all the ground with the seeder. A piece of pipe is wired to the levers on the harrow and Seeder Runs Behind. the seeder bandies loosely rest on this pipe, but a stick is placed over them and wired to the pipe so as not to allow too much free play. The seeder is hitched to the harrow by means of a rope attached to the pipe from the oenter of the seeder to allow It to follow the harrow in turning. DAIRY COWS ON SMALL FARM Where No Considerable Amount of Live Stook Is Kept Animals Are of Muoh Important). Dairying should be a justifiable factor In the operations of every quarter section farm from the stand point of balancing the farm work. On small farms where no consider able amount of live stock can be kept for growth or for sale fat, the dairy herd can not be dispensed with unless the farmer Is so well fixed that he does not need a winter busi ness which has the ability to convert his time and labor into cash. The dairy herd has an important plaoe to fill in the prosperity of ev ery quarter section farm and we are very sure that our statement applies to all general farms under this size. Pure-Bred Stock. The argument is sometimes made that pure-bred stock are adapted to rich people who have plenty of mon ey, but not the poor farmer who has Umitod capital. It Is true that pure bred stock are not adapted to the poor farmer, it follows that there Is no stock suitable for him, for cer tainly the scrub Is not. The scrub might do for rich people who wanted to find some way to lose their money. These men could certainly have no other motive in raising Bcrubs. The fact Is that pure breds are the ani mals for the poor farmer because they will help make him independent, if the proper care is given them. The scrub has no place. Desldable 8eed Ears. The best ears of corn have the butts well rounded out with well-shaped ker nels. Ears having straight rows of kernels and a medium sice shank are desirable. The cob should be of me dium size and of a deep color. The kernels should be deep and firm on the cob, medium wedge shaped, have s deep color, and contain large, bright germs. Oood Dairy Farmer. A good dairy farmer has been de scribed as "a good general farmer plus the love of cow. This Is a good definition, because the man who does not have a fondness for cattle, and who does not find some satisfaction In caring for them seldom turns out to be a very capable and prosperous dairy farmer. Condition of Market Eqqs. Send all eggs to market In a clean condition. Wash all soiled spots and keep out all cracked eggs. Sort eggs of the same size and color Into the same case.

That Is better than Ufa Insurance, he think. Goldfinch Benefits Agriculture by Con suming Seeds of Noxious Weeds, Especially Thistle. . (By H. W. WEISOERBER. In the Farm and Fireside.) Why do I class the goldfinch as a winter resident? Simply because I think that many a . farm boy sees them and hears the familiar "canary notes" and does not know them to be our common black and yellow "wild canaries", of the summer time. This is what they are, but they have donned the greenish-yellow garb of the female. Often, If they have found a food feeding place with plenty of goldenrod or a ragweedy corn field, they will remain until the seeds have been consumed, which often requires weeks of time. They must not, however, be con founded with another, similar north ern winter bird, the pine-siskin, whose notes are somewhat Identical, but The Goldfinch. arhose streaked breast can be distin guished from the solid color of the goldfinch. During the winter they travel In small flocks, often in company with tree-sparrows and juncos. But when spring comes they pair, and then be gins a long season of courtship, for they do not breed until into July. The males are very ardent and affection ate lovers. Goldfinches are among the few birds that may be observed In dulging in kissing one another during the courting period. - In the late summer and fall they; tislt the gardens, both In the country and in town, to gather what lettuce and sunflower seed they find awaiting them. They benefit agriculture by eating the seeds of noxious weeds, especially the common thistle, and In feeding their young upon harmful insects. Be ing with us, to some extent, through out the winter only tends to add to their usefulness. LOWLY HOG IS ECONOMICAL Puts to Good Use All It Consumes, Eighty Per Cent, of Carosss Being Available. The American hog is the most eco nomical of animals. Of what a horse eats 62 per cent, goes to waste. Forty four per cent, of the food consumed by cattle is similarly lost, and 82 per cent of all that sheep take Into their stom achs. Only 12 per cent, of what a pig eats is wasted. Fifty-two per cent of the food eaten by a hog goes to make growth. A sheep utilizes only 25 per cent, of its sustenance for growing, which means, of course, the produc tion of meat. These figures are ob tained from recent experiments made by government experts, who find, as a result of their study, that the pig has what they call an "economic superi ority" even over poultry. That Is to say, it produces more meat In propor tion to Its weight, and the animal weighs more in proportion to the amount of food it consumes. Eighty four per cent, of the carcass of a hog Is utilized as meat; of the beef animal, T5 per cent, is edible, and of the sheep only 64 per cent. Thus it appears that a greater percentage of the pig la available for food than of any other domesticated creature. Acid Phosphate In Henhouses. The best practice is to use acid phosphate or floats freely in the hen house. You can put the manure Into order for drilling by thorough ex posure to drying air and then pound ing up and running through a coarse sieve. It is defloiept in phosphoric sold, which the soil usually needs, and at least 60 pounds of a good grade of acid phosphate should . be added to each 100 pounds of the dry manure. Four or five hundred pounds per aore may be the most profitable amount for your rye. Raises If the Hi Dough f II Better! fmM Pound Caa ' i t.-X-'. All Grocers Care of Poultry.

The countryside rushed to purchase, and the merchants, having disposed of all their stock, departed. Then within a day or two the purchasers were at tacked by a strange sickness, and died by scores.

HOW I MADE MY HAIR GROW Woman With Marvelously Beautiful Hair Gives Simple Home Prescrip tion Which She Used With Most Remarkable Results. I was greatly troubled with dandruff and falling hair. I tried many advertised hair preparations and various prescriptions, but they all signally failed: many of them made my hair greasy so it was Impossible to comb it or do it up properly. I think that many of the things I tried were posi tively injurious and from my own experience I cannot too strongly caution you against using preparations containing wood alcohol and other poisonous substances. 1 believe they Injure the routs of the hair.
