A neglected cold is frequently ths
cause of death.
It is more often, however, the cause of
some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable to become seriously de
ranged by a neglected cold. Diseases of
the kidneys, bladder and digestive or
gans are all frequently the result of a
neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on doc
tors and medicines trying to cure these
disenscs, but until the trne cause of them
is discovered, there will be no use Id
using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi
cine and constipntion medicine is of no
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The catarrh must be treated. The
cause being removed, the derangements
will disappear.
Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive
organs, the urinary organs or any of the
internal organs.

Mustard in Grain Fields.
The plant referred to scarcely needs
description, as It Is so common, al
though the accompanying illustration
will imprest? the reader with its iden
tity. The flowers are yellow and the
Icnves soft, somewhat resembling those
of rape, cabbage, turnips, etc.; In fact
mustard belongs to the same family of
plants as those named. It is one of the
most serious of all the weed pests. This
Is due to the fact that It ripens its seed
before most of the cereals, so that the
ground Is again seeded down for an
other year. Hut this Is not all. The
seeds are ho oily lu their nature that
they have been known to remain In the
WILD MUSTARD IK BLOOM.
ground for a period of twenty-five years
when burled so deeply as to prevent
germination, and yet after this time
have grown vigorously. It Is because
of this chracteristlc that it is specially
important to prevent wild mustard
from seeding. In fields where the plants
are few in number the labor expended
!by way of pulling them up by root
'would be most profltable.
Where It is not practical to pull out
mustard, owing to the large amount
present, It may be advisable to make
the cereal crop Into hay rather than al
low It to ripen. If some such plan as
this Is not adopted where fields are bad
ly Infested with mustard It may be nec
essary in the near future to allow the
land to lie Idle and adopt the summer
fallow system In order to get rid of the
pest This would be an Instance where
an ounce of remedy would be worth
many pounds of cure. Iowa Iioi

Table for Handling Grapes.
I have seen large, heavy tables for
this work In many grapehouses, upon
which the grapes were emptied from
the trays to be sorted, trimmed and
packed Into baskets. I do not favor
this method of treating grapes. I think
the less they are handled the better.
The packing table shown makes it pos
slhle to take the grapen out of the tray
stem by stem as wanted by the packer
and thus avoid the emptying out of the
grapes. The table Is so constructed
that a tray fits Into It tipped up sutll-
CRAPK I'Af'KINU TAH1.K.
clently to make It convenient to take
the clusters from It. In the Illustra
tion half of the tray Is cut away In
order that the construction of the table
may appear more plainly.
The little block H) on the headpiece
of the tray answers a twofold purpose
it serves aa a handle In place of the
hand holes and it keeps the trays from
dropping off one from the other when
they are being piled up In the store
room or when hauling on the wagon

Bowing Clover In Corn.
The farmer who sows clover and finds
n the spring that It was winter killed
considers that he has lost time, labor
and the value of the seed. This is not
o, for the growth the clover makes dur-
lno th lulu Kiimnipr mid full hs lidded
'enough fertility to the soil to materially
assist In paying for the time and labor
'Involved. As a matter of fact, there
ought not to be much labor spent In
ceding the clover beyond the work of
putting In the seed, particularly if the
work Is done at the last cultivation of
the corn. Under almost any weather
conditions, except severe and prolonged
flrouth, It may be considered wise to
make a seeding of clover, crimson or
red, at the last cultivation of the corn.
If It goes through the winter, one adds
10 grcntly to the fertility of the soil that
ihey can afford to take some chances.
fthows Lack of Phosphate.
When cattle chew leather, wood or
ld bones It Indicates a lack of phos
phate or lime In their food, which Is re-
ulred to supply bone material. A tea
spoonful of bone meal given dally with

Indulged In when cows are In grass the

the acre, sown broadcast, will repay at
tending expenses In a better yield and
in quality of milk and butter.
The Fanner's Telephone.
A surprising thing is the development
of the telephone system among the
farmers bore on the prairies, says a
correspondent in Nebraska. An Inde
pendent telephone company has been
extending its lines from town to town
and village to villager The result If
that farmers living from five to ten
miles from town are connected and
within speaking communication with
doctor, storekeeper, bank, grain buy
er, etc. Farmers telephone into town
In the morning for the price of grain,
and if they like It they drive in with a
load or two. For their telephones the
farmers pay from $1 to $1.50 a month,
and as time-savers they are said to he
worth from ten to twenty times theii
eotrt. At the rate the telephone sys
tem Is now being developed it will not

Kvaporated or Urietl Potatoes.
"Dried potatoes" Is the name of
new product evolved by the South Car
olina Agricultural Experiment Station.
The potatoes are boiled, peeled ant! ,
evaporated in a cannery, and will re
main in perfect condition for years. The
preserved potato becomes fit for eating
after being soaked In warm water for ,
an hour. I.Ike many other new ideas, :
this promises to be a big thing, and lis.
development may have a great effect on
the vast potato fields of northern Maine.
It Is reported that an acre of potatoes
yielded 357 bushels, which made 10.1
bushels of the dried product, nearly 11
pound to 314 pounds of the raw product.
Although the report we have does not
say anything about It, probably the
sweet potatoes can be subjected to tho
same process. American cultivator.

Plowing by Steam.
An exchange tells of an experiment
in plowing by steam near Leuawa
Junction. The field was about eighty
rods long, containing a little over thirty
acres. The engine was attached to a
four-gang plow, which turned furrows
about sixteen inches wide and seven
Inches deep, and it laid them over very
even and smoothly. It took just seven
minutes to make the trip of eighty
rods, with one short stop. The outfit
Is claimed to turn over an acre In an
hour, and uses one hundred pounds of
soft coal to the acre. Kxchange.
I"Hrm Notes).
If you do not have enough manure
for a large field use it on a small plot,
and endeavor to make as much as pos
sible by concentrating the manure and
work to a limited area. Manure may
be wasted by attempting to make It do
service cm a larger space than It will
profitably cover, as well as entailing
more labor than the crop can compen
sate for.
Sheep are one of the best kinds of
stocks to keep In orchards. After a
little practice they will pick up fallen
fruit quicker than hogs; and this Is
often very Important, as the codllnf
moth worm generally leaves the apple
soon after It drops. But, with either
sheep or hogs, sufllclent food must be
supplied or the trees will be barked.
The food thus given goes, however,
where It will do the most good, In the
production of the largest and best
fruit.
There Is quite a difference in the ad
vantages of budding and grafting. The
proper time for budding is any period
when good buds can be procured and
the bark will run on the stocks. Teach
es and roses are always budded, but
grafting Is used on apples, pears ami
grapes. Budding Is sometimes done lu
order to change the tops of quite young
fruit tree. Dry weather is not favor
able to budding, and as a rule budding
Is not as successful as grafting.
Bones may be dissolved by the use
of unleached wood ashes, especially If
they are broken or ground. The pro
portions for a fertilizer, used by some
farmers, are one barrel of raw bone
flour, three barrels dry wood ashes,
fifty pounds of gypsum and ten gallons
of water. The materials are placed In
a heap upon tbe floor and stirred with
a boe while the water Is added. Tbe
mast Is kept moist, and In two or three
weeks wtU be ready for nse. Five bar

Terrenee V. l'owderly, formerly head

manager of an anthracite coal mine in
Pennsylvania. "It is not a co-operative

lie says, "but It has one feature which
carries out a life long theory of mine.

of his doing it well. But give him once

"Kill Your Dog and Buy a Pig."
An exchange says: "Kill your dog
and buy a pig with the dollar you save
on dog tax. The scraps you feed the
dog would make the pig weigh 300
pounds, and then you could sell it ami
give your wife the- money." Yes, kill
