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.

FIGHTING THE GYPSY MOTH.
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.

If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the $T
ame to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy jsL.
nsuros the commendation of the well informed, and as a rea- ||
onable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to
he health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one’s y
nprovement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches, M
tc. It is all important, however, in selecting a laxative, to Shi
hoose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever ft
ileasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig 9
iyrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system ||
ffectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant B
.fter effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal
irgans, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, Bj.:
vithout griping, irritating or debilitating the internal organs in S|:-'
my way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious Hf
lature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in
,he manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to
ict most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met Ig
vith their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well ||
vorth considering in making purchases.
It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS KL
s a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by K'
physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well

A Curious Tomb.
From the St. James Gazette.
Hard by the newly made grave of
Mr. Belt Is the most curious tomb In
England. 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.

changed medicine and began using
Doan’s Kidney Bills when I was still in

All That is Necessary.
From the Chicago Record-Herald.
"I hear you are going to start a maga

"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

“No, but it's a sure thing. I have a
frl ah who can get mo nearly all the

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."
