DOCTOR, ADVOCATED OPERATION— PE-RU-NA MADE KNIFE UNNECESSARY. MRS. EVA BARTHO, 133 East 12th 8t., New York City, N. Y., writes: “I suffered for three years with len |«orrhea and ulceration of the womb. ?The doctor advocated an operation which I dreaded very much, and strong ly objected to go under it. Now I am a changed woman. Peruna cured me; it took nine bottles, but 1 felt so much improved 1 kept taking it, as I dreaded an operation so much. I am to-day in perfect health and have not felt so well for iifteen years/ —Mrs. Eva iiartho. Mrs. Senator Roach, of Lari more, N. Dak.; Mrs, Senator War ren, of Cheyenne, Wyo.; Belva Lockwood and Mrs. General Long street, of Washington, D. C., are among the prominent ladies who indorse Peruna. Mirs Helen llolof, Kaukav ..a, Wis., writes: “’Several times during the past two years or more my system has been greatly in need of a tonic, :md at those times Peruna has been of great help in building up the system, restoring my appetite and securing restful sleep."— Helen Rolof. Miss Muriel Armitage. 36 Greenwood Ave.. Detroit. Mieh., lHstrict Organizer of the Royal Templars of Temperance, writes as follows: ‘•I suffered for five years-with uterine irregularities, which brought on hys teria and made me a physical wreck. I tried doetors from the different schools of medicine.but without any perceptible change in my condition. In my despair I called on an old nurse, who advised me to try Peruna, and promised good results if I would persist aad take it regularly. I kept this up for six months, and steadily gained strength and health, and whei I had used fifteen bottles I considered myself entirely cured. I ass a grateful, happy woman to-day.”—Miss Muriel Armitage. Miss Lucy M. Riley. 33 Davenport St., Cleveland, Ohio, writes: “I wish to add my indorsement to thousands of other women who have been cured through the use of Peruna. I suffered for five years with severe MRS. EVA BARTHO. backache, and when weary or worried in the least I had prolonged headache, I am now in perfect health, enjoy life and have neither an ache or pain, thanks to Peruna.’’—Lucy M. Kiley. It is no longer a question as to whether Peruna can be relied on to cure all such cases. During the many years in which Peruna has bean put to test in all forms and stages of acute and chronic catarrh no one year has put 'this remedy to greater test than the past year. If all the women who are suffering with any form of female weakness would write to Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio, and give him a complete descrip tion of their symptoms and the peculi arities of their troubles, he will imme diately reply with complete directions for treatment, free of charge.

The farmers of the corn belt are coming more and more to appreciate the value of their skim milk for feed ing on their farms to their calves, hogs and poultry. Talking with the manager of a creamery in Northern Illinois, a representative of the Farm ers’ Review was told that he could 1 buy no skim milk for making up into cottage cheese; for the reason that the farmers in his vicinity would not sell it. They declared that it was worth at least 20 cents per 100 pounds ! for feeding to their farm animals, and j that they preferred to keep it. even if i they could get that for it. One man lived not far from a bottling establish ment where he could get a good price for his whole milk, but he preferred to haul it to a whole milk creamery that he might get the skim milk to use on his farm. In this same locality j one year the farmers quite generally | sold their milk for shipping to the f city, but when fall came found that | their hogs were in poor condition on account of having been deprived of the skim milk in the early periods of their lives. The next year they made a change and held back the skim milk for their owh use. We doubt very much if 20 cents per 100 pounds ; represents the true value of the skim j milk for feeding purposes. That may be indicated by the actual chemical content of the milk, but it has a value beyond that, which is the value that j it has in combination with corn. It ; has been shown that corn is worth I very much more when fed with skim | milk than when fed alone. As a bal ancer for corn it has a value that the ; chemist will never be able to deter | mine. Demand for Sweet Cream Butter. Sweet cream butter is butter that has not been salted and not butter made from unripened cream. That the demand for this kind of butter is increasing is a remarkable fact. The ! creamery at Ringwood, Illinois, is ma- | . king about 30,000 pounds of butter a 1 month and all, except that used by the patrons, is being taken by a large dairy company of Chicago. Gradually there has been an increase in the de mand for unsalted butter, till now two-thirds of all the butter supplied by that creamery is of this kind. That is, about 20,000 pounds of unsalted I butter is being supplied by this one ! creamery every month and there are j i numerous other creameries making some sweet cream butter. At first the i demand was from the foreigners al- j most wholly, and especially from the Jews. Indeed, the Jews were such great users of this unsalted buttei that the factory men dubbed it “Jew butter.” But it is now losing thfc characterization, for the reason that many native Americans are using it 1 instead of the salted article. We have supposed that the demand for the fresh article was to be confined tc European countries like France, bul we are evidently mistaken. The but ter is making great headway in Eng land, where the demand has always previously been for salted butter. This I in our country at least marks a new phase of creamery development. The Dairies and the Doctors. One man that has the handling of a good deal of milk for Chicago tells the writer that he has an arrangement with the doctors • in several towns from which he buys milk, by which the doctors report to him the presence j of any contagious disease on any farm in the locality, whether that farm is producing milk or not. In this way it | is possible for him to know about the conditions under which milk is being made for his trade. This he finds to be a very good plan. In the case of the contagious disease being on the tarm of a man that is selling him milk, he can take measures to prevent the sending out of that milk. On the other hand, if the disease is on the farm of a man that is not selling him milk, he can serve a notice on the men that are selling him milk that they are not to receive the milk from such a farm. If this practice were made general it would greatly im prove the situation as to the spread of contagious diseases by means of milk. Cases are constantly coming to j the attention of the public where some ' man that is supplying perhaps only a very small amount of milk to the j trade is the means of scattering dis eases that ravage communities using the milk. Every man should have too | much conscience to sell milk when he | has a deadly disease in his family, but actual experience demonstrates that that is just the time he will sell his j product, as a general thing, for the reason that his needs are greatest at that time. This phase of human na ture must be taken into consideration. Summer-Set Strawberries. Strawberry beds may be prepared at almost any time of year, as new beds can be set from early spring to early fall. It is well to begin the work a considerable time before the plants are to be set, that the ground may be worked and reworked before the plants are put in. In a month or two the weed should have been thoroughly killed and the ground ready to receive the plants. Many growers put in a bed in June as soon as the berries are picked and new plants have begun to form rapidly. The best method of planting at that time is to use a spade, pushing it deeply into the ground and working it back and forth, in the opening thus made spread the roots in the shape of a fan, and pack the soil firmly about them with the foot. When the bed is set the soil should be well cultivated throughout the season. The ground should not be allowed to form a crust at any time. The runners should not be permitted to occupy the space between the rows. This may be kept clear of runners and of plants as well as of weeds by cultivation. The fowls for the farmer are the best fowls that can be procured. There is no reason why he should not have the best Cost of Runnfng Governments. A table has been prepared and is sued bv the department of commerce and labor, indicating that, despite the great size of the appropriations, this country is per capita more cheaply maintained than any other in the world, with the exception of China and India, and possibly Russia. It costs, according to this, just $7.97 a year for each man, woman and child in the United States to run the gov ernment. as against $9.30 for Canada. $9.45 for the German empire, $9.54 for Sweden. $10 for Spain. $11.45 for Portugal. $11.40 for the Netherlands, $12.40 for Cuba $12.68 for Argentina. $14.27 for Austria-Hungary, $17.30 for Paraguay, $1.40 for Belgium, $17.84 for France. $21.39 for the United Kingdom. $37.G9 for Australia and $38.38 for New Zealand. Russia’s per capita is approximately the same as that of the United States. An Actor of Resources. There is a young cctor named Ar nold Daly who is getting himself no ticed. He went to New York with out money, without friends and with out an engagement. After he got a job at acting he devoted himself to saving enough money to produce one of those “impossible” plays of Ber nard Shaw’s, it proved a great suc cess, and then the young man present ed a play written by himself. This was good enough to be called the cleverest thing of the season of its kind. Now' Mr. Daly is in a position to make terms. While he was work ing hard all winter a lot of actors were hanging around the cafes telk ing people how great they were and haw me managers were in a conspir acy to keep them down.
