Smith. ncxa’cnmc.T.wi' hx.opui.kj woi* MujgapouocoflCOBPlBWBWBOP*^* -N i 444 E. Mound Street, Columbus, Ohio. HAY FEVER is endemic catarrh. It is caused by some irritating sub stance in the atmosphere during the late summer months. It is generally bought that the pollen of certain weed3 »nd dowers is the cause of it. Change of locality seems to be the only •ational cure. The use of Peruna, how tver, stimulates the nervous system to tesist the effect of the poisonous emana tions and sometimes carries the victim Ihrough the hay fever season without an ittack of the disease. A large number of people rely upon Peruna for this purpose. Those who do jot find it convenient to change their loca |ion to avoid Hay Fever, would do well io give Peruna a trial. It has proven »f priceless value to many people. 90,000,000 BUSHELS That’s the WHEAT CROP IN Western Canada This Year This with nearly 80,000,000 Bushels of Oats and 17,000,000 Bushels of Barley means a continuation of good times lor die farmers of Western Canada.

The summer has shown, in different sec tions, how necessary it is that the gypsy moth be fought in every possible way Which will lead to its final extermination. It is a good plan to begin now to examine all trees and especially the shade trees to locate the emoryo egg nests and to pro tect the trees so as to prevent, aw far as possible the late caterpillars from climb ing up the trunk. One of the best methods for accomplishing this is the band of bur lap which is used in many sections. In some places this band is saturated with i' i. . kerosene oil and others use tar. In still other sections the band of burlap Is satur ated with the kerosene and then a lower band is placed several Inches below and this also covered with oil and in some oases with a sticky preparation which will entangle the caterpillar. An excellent plan Is to ascertain from your state experiment station how to fight the gypsy moth in your section for sometimes certain reme dies are better in certain sections. The il lustration shows how the bands are ap plied to the trunk of the tree. THE RUIN OF TRADE. The writer is located near some of the famous New Jersey summer resorts and nis attention was recently called to the dishonest work of some of the farmers in that section. The law In this section does not permit the taxing of farmers in any way for selling their goods in town hence they have the advantage of the huck ster who is obliged to buy what he sells pgain and to pay a high price for a li cense. Under such circumstances it would feem as If the farmers ought to offer to the consumer the very best he could grow. The reverse is the case, however, for many of them have so deliberately cheated the public that it Is fast becoming a rule with the consumer not to buy of farmers. They cheat on measure, weight and on quality topping baskets with the best and filling 1 Jn the middle with the poorest. The result Is that the honest farmer is looked upon with suspicion and is obliged to market his goods in the cities when, if his broth ers were honest, he could have a fine trade at home. We do not believe, judging from reports, that this dishonesty is confined to New Jersey farmers by any means. Why the farmer should think that he can carry on such work for an Indefinite period It is hard to understand, but the sooner he learns that honesty is the best policy the sooner he will be able to realize a fair profit from his work. THE FALL POULTRY WORK. Before it is time to place the poultry In winter quarters we should see that prop er quarters are prepared. Do not make tho mistake of ignoring the run or yard for fowls that have had a free range dur ing the summer, and especially the pullets who have never known confinement, will be very much disturbed when brought up for the winter and confined to a small area. We think it a better plan to provide a liberal run than to put too much ex pense on tho house. So far as the latter is concerned it need be only dry and com fortable and this does not, of necessity, mean any great amount,of expense. If in a very cold climate make the scratching shed attachment and thus provide the run at moderate cost. If in a milder climate arrange a yard so that it may be protected on tho cold side with corn stalks, limbs of evergreen trees or boards, running them over tho top a few feet thus making an en closure Into which the sun will shine and into which the wind is not likely to come. Do not make the mistake of thinking that no yard Is necessary for poultry during the winter. DOES IT PAY TO STORE POTA TOES? Whether it pays to store potatoes for marketing later in the season depends very largely upon market conditions al though the condition of the crop will have much to do with it. If it has come through the season without rot it is safe to store It provided other conditions are as they should be, although It is generally consid ered that the prevalence of rot has made it almost impossible to store potatoes with any degree of safety. If the market con ditions are such that the crop cannot be sold at a fair profit it might be possible to store at least a portion of the crop with out much trouble and get enough more for it later to compensate for the work and time spent. As a general rule, however, with the liabilty of the tubers to rot after being dug and stored it Is better to market the crop as soon as possible after digging if a price at all fair can be obtained. STORING CORN STOVER. One needs only drive through a country district at any time during the winter in order to get some idea of how much good corn fodder is wasted by American farm ers. When tho matter is brought up the excuse generally is that there is more than the animals can consume during the win ter so why care for what cannot be used. This may be good logic, but we doubt it; at least what is the sense of permitting the whole mass to be partially spoiled be cause a portion of it is not likely to be used. Again, if one has a surplus of corn fodder there is no reason why a portion of it cannot be used In a variety of ways so that some good may ho done. A lot of it can be used for windbreaks around the various farm buildings; that which the cows have hooked over may bo thrown in the pig pens to make better bedding and absorb some of the surplus m inure. Tnore aro a dozen ways in which this surplus can he used if farmers will only look about a little. Select the portion which is to be fed to the stock and put in some place un der shelter where the elements will not take any portion of the virtue then use the rest In the manner suggested or in some way which will suggest itself to you. HELPING THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. While there are many things In the de partment of agriculture to criticize the trouble \s not due to those in charge hut to lh« "system” its Mr. Thomas Lawson might term It. That is, the congrest makes the laws and the people in the eral departments have no voice in the mat ter but to enforce the laws as they find them. For example tho free seed distri bution humbug has no greater enemy than the secretary of agriculture for no man more than he knows what a farco it Is*. Yet the lawr la there and he has no al ternative but to obey it. There are other things quite as serious of which the papers of tho country made more or less mention yearly. No man at the head of the de partment of agriculture has done more for the farmers, within his powers, than the present secretary and he would do much more, for he is a practical farmer him self, if the people would help him get some of the foolishness out of the department. This can be done by getting at the law makers and doing it with enough vim to make them understand t hat the foolishness must stop. No better start can be made than by a concerted attack, through your congressman, against tho free seed dis tribution. So strong was the light last winter that it was nearly done away with and a stronger light this fall and winter* will abolish this evil. ANOTHER EGG PRESERVATIVE. Many poultrymen object to the use of water glass for the preservation of eggs because of its expense hence will bo in terested in the use of vaseline which has been tried and pronounced of great value* ; Tho idea is that a coating of any kind which will prevent the air from reaching tho inside of the egg is all that is necessary to preserve it. Those who have tried vase line pronounce it perfect. The plan of working it is to select strictly fresh eggs, no other egg can bo successfully preserv ed, by any process and coat them thickly* with vaseline and then pack them away; in shallow boxes in layers with bran and keep them in some cool place. It is said that eggs in this way will keep In condi tion as long as those preserved by watej glass and the expense is about one-half. ' SELECTING SEED POTATOES. Much of the trouble in getting a good crop of first class potatoes is due to the j use of homo grown seed selected without intelligence’. In some cases it were better ■ not to uso tho home grown seed at all 1 although there is no objection to it if the variety is doing well and is not run-* ning out. By all means select tho seed , tubers at the time tho crop Is dug and plan your selection on this line. During tho growing season, so far as possible, mark the hills that are tho most vigorous | and when the tubers are dug select the seed potatoes from these marked hills pro. : vided, of course, they have turned out well. Select the medium sized tubers and always those without a flaw. Never un der any circumstances select the seed from the hills which have done poorly for the chances are nine out of ten the follow ing crop will be far from desirable. This is a simple method of selecting seed po tatoes yet there is no surer way of get , ting what you want. CLEAN UP THE HOG YARDS. There is no doubt but what the main diseases with which swine suffer are those known ns transmissablo diseases and these invariably come from the dirty pens and yards. We have never believed that it was necessary to have hog wallows although | we will admit that it requires some trouble j to prevent swine from making a wallow. If you consider It inseperablo from hog i raising then make it a part of your work to see that the wallows are filled up fre quently and that the enclosure in which the hogs run is sown to rye or cow peas once a year and plowed under tho fol lowing spring. During the winter see to it that tho swine have plenty of water to drink but none to muss in. Nothing ia better for disenfectlng purposes than a two per cent solution of the tar solutions made for this purpose. Once in awhile the swine themselves should be sprayed j with a mild solution of this tar. Try this plan of keeping things clean and you’ll have healthier hogs. ! STARVING MOULTING HENS. | It requires very nice treatment to prop erly force the moulting hens to drop tho old feathers and take on the new and the danger lies in carrying the starvation plan too far. The essence of tho whole plan Is to give the hens (the mature hens only don’t try the plan on pullets) just a3 lit tle food ns possible during the first two weeks of moulting and at tho end of that period to feed them heavily on rations which would contain considerable oil meal, meat and other oily foods and at the same time enough good grain in variety, barring corn, to keep them In vigorous condition, i During the starving period, as experts call jit, the feed is light grains, cracked oats ! and wheat being largely used and fed i only once a day and that sparingly let 1 ting the hens pick up what additional food I they may get on the range of limited j size. The Idea Is to so reduce the vitality ; of the hens that the partly loosened feath ! ers will fall the more quickly. There 13 | an element of risk in this hence one must bo exceedingly careful or the starving per iod will result in starved hens in very j truth. j A HELP IN BINDING GRAIN. j Where sheafs of grain or com stalks | have to be bound by hand the device de ! scribed will be found very useful. Two j upright pieces are fastened to a light plank on one end of which is fastened I a square of board a foot across each way. I These uprights are shaped as shown in I the engraving at B. In one of them, at I the top, is placed a lever, G, into which is j fastened a swinging handle as shown at ! . o.■ I ^ j=^-A i F. The corn or grain is placed between • the uprights the lever thrown over to ' press It down and the cord or twin. , | which had been previously placed in po sition as shown is thrown over and the other end caught and drawn around. The j block A. is fastened at the end of the cord »to prevent the groping for * th<» other end” [which always is the trouble without t-'ome [ thing of this kind. The cost of this device , is snail and it will materially help one ! in the work. The illustration shows plain ly how it Is constructed and any handy man can make one.

It Is the tomb of Lady Anne Grimston, daughter of the Earl of Thanet, who died nearly two centuries ago, and was burled In this same Tewin churchyard. Upon her deathbed she disregarded the efforts of those who sought to administer spiritual comfort. An atheist sne had lived, an atheist she would die. "It 13 as likely that I should rise again from the dead," she said, "as that a tree should grow out of the middle of my coffin.” A tree has grown out of the middle of her cof fin—an oak. and by its side a sycamore. The vault is square, of brick and gran ite. The two trees first filled the in terior before they could find a way out. When they did burst through the ma sonry they so spread as completely to envelop the grave. SICK FOR TEN YEARS. Constant Backache, Dropsy nnd Severe Bladder Trouble. Fred W.

I seemed to have a constant back ache. Finally I got so bad that I was laid up in bed with sev eral doctors In attend ance. I thought sure ly I would (lie. I changed medicine and began using Doan’s Kidney Bills when I was still in bed. The relief I found was so great that I kept on until I had taken about ten 'boxes.

From the Chicago Record-Herald. "I hear you are going to start a maga zine.” "Yes; I've got my plans practically all made, and we'll probably have the lirst number out In a month nr two." "Why, you have never had any cxpcrl enc an an editor or publisher, have you?” “No, but it's a sure thing. I have a frl ah who can get mo nearly all the automobile advertising there is going." No Substitute. In the course of an oral examination one day at the Maryland University Medical school a professor addressed a bright pupil and said: "James, If you were called In to see a patient who needed quinine, what would you give as a substitute for that In case you could not get It?” James thought a minute and replied: “Why, I would glvo him quinine, of course.” “But suppose you could not obtain that drug?” said the professor. James thought the matter over again and said: “I’d give him quinine, pro fessor, sure.” The old professor became exasper ated and said: “It Is plain that you are set king to evade the question. Now, I want you to suppose that there Is not . any quinine within 5,000 miles.” Janies hung his head In deep thought and finally answered: "Professor, I’d give him quinine If I had to go all the way to the north pole to get it." itr*.
