Mrs. K. Kane, 172 Sebor Street. Cliieago, 111., writes: , “Peruna has been used so long to* our family that I do not know how, I could get along without it I have < given it to all of my children at\ different times when they suffered, with croup, colds and the many ail• < ments that children are subject to,' and am pleased to say that it has, kept them in splendid health. I1 have also used it for a catarrhal] difficulty of long standing and it, cured me in a short time, so / have every reason to praise Pcruna.”— Mrs. K. Kane. Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House hold Against Catarrhal Diseases. One of the greatest foes with which every family has to contend is o\ir changeable climate. To protect the family from, colds and coughs is always a serious problem, and often impossible. Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate of every one to catch cold. Care in avoiding exposure and the use of proper clothing will protect from the fre quency and perhaps theseverity of colds, but with the greatest of precautions they will come. This is a settled fact of human experience. Everybody must expect to be caught somewhere or somehow. Perhaps it will he wet feet, or a draught, or damp clothes, or it may be one of a thousand other little mishaps, but no one is shrewd enough to always avoid the inevitable catching cold. There is no fact of medical science better known than that Peruna cures oa.arrh wherever located. Thousands of families in all parts of the United States are projected from colds and catarrh by Peruna. Once in the family Peruna V ways stays. No home can Mrs. A. Hobson, 225 Washington St., Lansing, Mich., writes: “Peruna has been such a blessing to my only child, as well as myself, that I feel induced to give my testi monial. He has always suffered from catarrh of the bead and throat, and I had to use extra precautions so as not to have him exposed to damp or cold weather. Last year he was taken with la grippe, and as it was a severe case, caused me much anxiety. No medicine helped him till be took Peruna. / noticed an improvement at once and In three weeks be was a different child; the grippe had been com pletely cured and l noticed that the catarrh was made better. He kept taking it two weeks longer, when he was entirely well. / now use It off and on for colds, cramps, indi gestion or general indisposition, and find it superior to any doctors or medicine I ever tried. It keeps me, as well as my child, in perfect health, and I gladly recommend it to mothers.”—Mrs. A. Hobson. spare Peruna after the first trial of it.

After Wing Chow had studied at Sunday school and become a member of a church, he decorated his remarks with Scriptural phrases, according to Lippincott’s Magazine. He grew dis satisfied and pleaded for an increase of wages. "You vely lieh woman, I vely poor man,” he explained, "money I wish you more give me.” Mrs. Dash rejected the plea, and Wing Chow ap peared to submit. But on the follow ing morning, when the good woman entered her dining room, though the room had been swept, the table laid, and everything in perfect order, there was no Wing Chow. Beneath a plate the perplexed mistress found a note, which read as follows: “You vely lich woman. I vely poor man. I aske you more money; you givee me none. Oh, Lamb of God! I go.” To the housewife who has not y*t become acquainted with the new things of everyday use in the market and who is reasonably satisfied with the old. we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold Water Starch be made at once. Not alone because it is guaranteed by the manufacturers to be superior to any other brand, but because each 10c package con tains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady who once uses Defiance Starch w*il use no other. Quality and quantity must win. A crank movement—the drill in a lunatic asylum.

It is usually the people who have the least money who try to make the biggest, show. _ Bcracic Acid in Butter. The Australians never seem to get done considering milk and butter pre servatives in some form or other. On account of having to send some of their products thousands of miles to market, they are perhaps more preju diced in favor of preservatives than are the people in thi3 country where the markets are nearer the places of production. At Sydney a parliament ary committee has been investigating 'he use of boracic acid in butter, and, n a report expresses the belief that 25 grains of boracic acid per pound of butter will do no harm. It is to be inferred that above the 25 grains harm will result. Whether this be a point of danger or not we do not know, but the principal thing is that there is a danger point. The man that buys butter doctored with boracic acid has no means of telling whether there be 25 or more grains of the pre servative in it. There is likely to be more rather than less, as there is al ways a tendency to overdo a matter of that kind. It must be remembered that scientists are not the ones that add the preservatives, but usually ig norant people that know very little about such matters. What makes the matter worse is that the men that use preservatives are generally of the opinion that they are harmless and are hence ready to use all they can afford to. Food and Size of Cows. Good and persistent milking pro duces milkers and the development of milking qualities, whereas on the contrary if irregularity and neglect is practiced the talents which would de velop with use will naturally disap pear, even what there is. It is a great mistake to suppose thkt dairy cows all belong to one breed, says Robt. Pethbridge. They vary from the Small Kerry of Ireland, the fine Jer sey and Guernsey of the Channel Is lands. the hardy Ayrshire of Scotland, the dual-purpose Shorthorn and De von of the west of England, to the Red Polled Norfolk of the east of England and others, all of which with selection and development produce magnificent dairy cows. It is the character of the food more than any thing else that determines the size. As we know, in those districts which do not produce rich and abundant grasses you will not find large cows, and in those districts which do pro duce the necessary constituents for growth and milk producing, in a few years a small bred animal will be come the parent of a large type, and with continuous milking will furnish many good milkers. Select and test your cows and use a bull from a fam ily which has a milk record, and re member that your bull is half your herd. Quality of Butter. Quality and uniformity are the two main factors to be considered by the buttermakers at present and for each step he is taking these two factors should be kept in view and be the main centers for all his labors, says M. Mortensen. Some think that in order that such butter may be pro duced it is necessary that the butter be made in smaller creameries where all of the territory is within easy reach of the factory. Others claim that the central plants have advan tages ever the smaller ones in manu facturing butter of that quality, while still others claim that this is easily done in a whole milk plant, but not in a creamery run on the hand sepa rator plan. These various ideas are not really true. We are able to make a high grade of butter under any of these systems providing the proper methods are adopted. Some of the main factors to be considered in this connection are, the condition of raw material, pasteurization and the use of commercial starters. Feeding Grain to Cows on Pasture. It will pay to feed some grain to the cows on pasture unless conditions are exceptional. The amount fed in the winter should be cut in half in the summer, except in the dryest montns, when the grain ration may be tem porarily increased. Some of the best dairymen in the country are doing this, though they are not getting their money back for it in the summer time. But their cows go into winter with more vigor and are healthier as a rule for the good summer treatment they have received. It is simply one way of investing money for the future. Its results are not seen so much in the milk pail as experienced in various ways In the thrift of the calf that is born later and in the ability of the mother to make the most of the food that is given her in the winter. Good Feed for rJairy Cows. Sooner or later we are going to have trouble in some of our'western states on account of fermented foods fed dairy cows and the unsophisticat ed state of some of the men engaged in enforcing dairy inspection laws. We heard recently of the attempt by an ass^tant dairy and food commissioner to stop the feeding of waste from the distilleries. Now, distillery waste, brewers’ grains and silage are all more or less fermented when they come to the cow, but they are good feeds for all that. Sauerkraut is a partly fermented food, but it is served on all our tables, and no one finds fault with it because of Its partial fer mentation. Funds for Iowa Dairy Commission. The Iowa legislature has passed a hill appropriating an additional $1,200 for the salary of an assistant diary and food commissioner. For a long time there has been but one man to do the great amount of inspection re quired in this, one of the largest dairy states of the Union. But the work has been well done, and the dairy in terests of the state have profited greatly thereby. The additional help will enable the commissioner to carry out much of the work he has planned, but which could not before be done on account of the many duties pressing upon the commissioner. There is endless hope in work.« Cariyle. LIVESTOCK Soft Corn as Feed. The soft corn problem is a serious one. In many sections of our state during the past two years there were large areas on which the corn was worthless from a market standpoint. It must either be fed to live stock or allowed to rot in the field. To the man who had plenty of stock the commercial value of tnis product was not a serious question. He could solve the same by feeding it to hit animals. We have a large number of farmers, however, who belong to the class called grain growers. Thus, they had to either sell this soft corn for feeding purposes, or eise allow it to rot in the fields. To them the commercial value of this product was an important question. It was als* an important question to the cattlk feeders who had to purchase soft corn for feeding purposes. We re ceived a great many requests from parties belonging to beth classes ask ing for information concerning the reeding value of ^his soft corn. Wo therefore conducted some ex periments with the hope of giving them some aid. It is very likely that in the future, we will conduct some further experiments with the hope of finding some feed stuffs which per haps can be fed to advantage with suit corn for fattening cattle. Many attributed the large losses which re sulted in many sections of the country last year from the cattle feeding busi ness to the fact that the corn was of poor quality. Perhaps some of these losses might be attributed to this cause. In the majority of cases, however, I think the trouble was due to the fact that feeding cattle in the fall of 1902 w'ere unusually high in price, and the finished cattle in the spring of 1903 were rather low in price. In too many instances cattle which were bought for five cents per pound as feeders had to be sold for less when sent to the market as fin ished animals. W. J. Kennedy, Iowa Agricultural College. Good and Foor Steers. If a man will visit the Union Stock yards, Chicago, and watch the buyers selecting cattle he will soon come to understand that an animal, to bring the good prices desired by the s’eller, must have something more than weight and fat. The good cat tle are in demand and the buyers compete with each other in bidding for them. But when they get to the rough cattle it is different. These do not catch the eyes of the buyers and the latter do not feel the interest in buying that they evince when bidding for the other animals. The easv sellers are high grade, which means that they show in their con formation and coloring much blood from some one of the accepted beef breeds. The really good cattle do not comprise one-tenth of the total num ber going to the yards. It not in frequently happens that a farmer takes a bunch of steers to market and works hard to sell them, but finally gets for them only about one-half the price he expected to receive. Profes sor Munford tells the writer that the buyers value the cattle largely accord ing to the proportion of improved blood they show, unless this improved blood is dairy blood, in which case it is a detriment rather than a help. The dairy cow or steer may get fat, and show good weight but the butcher knows that when he comes to kill and dress the animal he will find the greater part of the fat on the intes tines where it has but little commer cial value. A very large per cent of the animals coming to the stock yards are poor, inferior animals, both in finish and form. Profit in Young Animals. The profit in beef and mutton pro duction lies in the young animals. There was a time, but that was many years ago, when the big boned steer that weighed 1,800 to 2,000 pound* was looked for by the buyers of beeves, but now the animal that Is sought by the butchers Is one that weighs from 1,200 to 1,500 pounds. We have long since found out that the cheapest meat is made on young animals, and the money thus invested is soonest ready to be turned over. Not only is the money tied up long est in old animals but the cost of producing meat on them is so great that our best beef feeders are no longer attempting to do that. Thu method advocated now is to keep the animals growing right along from birth to the period when they weigh what the market demands. Steers are now ready for the market at two years old or under. If all the animals shipped to the stockyards were of this kind there would not be much complaint about poor returns in stock breeding and beef making. A good many farmers are still trying to make profitable beef on old steers. But the young steer is the only animal that gives us any promise of a profit. Corn a Too Carbonaceous Food. Corn is by no means a balanced ration, though it is considered by many men the best single stock food known. This opinion is erroneous. The nearer a grain comes to be ing balanced the more nearly is it a perfect food. Corn contains a very large amount of carbonaceous matter and a small amount of protein. Corn to be used to the best of advantage ^nust be combined with some protein that will act as a balance to the elements that Inake up the starch, fat, sugars, and digestible nutrients. It has been demonstrated over and over again that by combining corn with some food that will increase the total amount of protein to a point where it will be a fair balance for the carbohydrates, the steer will be more smoothly finished and his coat will be more glossy than where corn is the single grain food. The economy of feeding silage in preference to any other soiling crop was demonstrated at the Pan-Ameri can Model Dairy, where the exhaus tion of the silage supply caused a de cided advance in the cost of makisg both butter and mil*' i | PLEASE TELL YOUR READERS !
