Those Peruna Testimonials How Are They Obtained? For a great many years I have been gath ering statistics as to the effects of Peruna when taken for ca tarrhal de rangements. I have on hand thousands of unsolicited tes timonials from people in all stations of life, who claim that after many years futile at tempts to rid S. B. hartman. M. D. tnemseives or chronic catarrh by various forms of treatment they have found complete relief by the use of Peruna. These testimonials have come to me unrequested, unso licited, unrewarded in any way. di rectly or indirectly. They have sim ply been gleaned from my private cor respondence with patients that have been more or less under my treatment or taking my remedies. No remedy, official or unofficial, has a greater accredited basis for the claims we make for it than Peruna as a remedy for catarrh. I have never been opposed at any time to the regulations offered by the Pure Food and Drugs Act. I am not now opposed to its provisions, but I am opposed to the proposed amend ments to give to a partisan board of physicians the unqualified authority to decide as to all therapeutic claims which may be made for a proprietary medicine. It is manifestly unjust to, refer such questions to a body of men who are already convinced of the worthlessness of proprietary medi cines. To give such a body of men the unlimited authority to decide whether our claims for Peruna are valid or not is a manifest violation of my constitutional rights. My claims are based both on cred itable theoretical grounds and upon irrefutable statistics. But I am quite willing to have our claims as to the composition of Peruna properly and thoroughly investigated, and if found to be false a proper penalty should be fixed. Or if I am making any statements concerning disease, as to the nature, symptoms or danger of any disease, if I am making any such statements as to unnecessarily fright en the people by false assumptions. I am willing to submit to any unbiased tribunal or investigation. Mrs. Alice Bogle, 803 Clinton St., Circleville, Ohio, writes: “I want to inform you what Peruna has done | for me. I have been afflicted with ca tarrh for several years. 1 have tried different medicines and none seemed to do me any good until I used Pe runa. I have taken six bottles and can praise it very highly for the good it has done me. I also find it of great benefit to my children.” Peruna is for sale at all drug stores.

At one time or another during the ward school life of a little girl there prevails the ambition to become a teacher. Pei haps it is the indisputable authority possessed by the hand that wields the rules or the nonchallant dis play of wisdom on topics surrounded by the most inaccessible difficulties to the small boy and girl. They will nearly always tell their ambitions to a well liked teacher, and one rather surprising declaration was given by a little maid in one of Miss Clara Town send's room before she became princi pal of the James school. Among the special favors coveted by the youngsters is the permission to stay behind after school and clean the blackboards. One evening a little girl was given the desired privilege, and while engaged in the task she struck up a shy sort of conversation with Miss Townsend. Finally the usual confession was made. "When I grow up, I am going to be a teacher,” she announced. "That so?" pleasantly asked Miss Townsend. "And why do you want to be a teacher?” “Well,” was the rather surprising answer, ‘Til have to be either a teacher or a lady, and I would rather be a teacher.”—Indianapolis News. Shopper's Cramp. Simeon Ford, at a dinner of hotel men in New York, discussed a new disease. “There's a new disease called shop per’s cramp,” he said. “It appears early in December, becomes violently epidemic about the middle of the month and ends suddenly on the eve ning of the 24th. "Women feel shopper’s cramp in the arms, the limbs, everywhere; but It attacks the husband only in one place—the pocket." Self-Appreciation. "How do you know your speech made such a profound impression?” asked the doubting friend. "There wasn't very much cheering.” "That's just the point,” replied Sen ator Sorghum. “I am one of the ora tors to whom my constituents would rather listen than hear themselves ap plaud." Unusual. "A candlemaker combines ex tremes.” “How so?" "His business is both cereous and light.” The Condition. “Can your wife keep a secret?” “Certainly, if there is nobody around for her to tell’it to."

COMFORTABLE HOUSES MAKE 2 LITTERS OF PIGS PRACTICABLE-THREE GREAT BREEDS Good Hog Raisers Try to Have Sows Commence farrowing About March 1—Building Shown in Illustration Is Convenient and Pleasant for Animals—Duroc-Jersey Is Popular. UOPTU Ground Plan of Well Most good hog raisers who have warm buildings try to have their sows commence farrowing about March 1, but without good houses this is im practicable. Without a good house two litters a year cannot be raised to advantage, because the spring pigs must be put off until so late that the fall litters do not get well started be fore cold weather, but with a good house two litters can well be raised. What is the necessary cost of hous ing a litter? Where lumber is $25 to $35 a thousand, good single-walled houses need not cost over $10 to $20 a pen. and double-walled $20 to $30 a pen. It is doubtful economy, under most conditions, to make them cost over $30 a pen. and very good sheds are sometimes made for less than $10 a pen. It is easy to get too much ex pense into any building, and the hog house is no exception. No one can afford for any purpose a building so expensive that interest and deprecia tion will eat up its usefulness. Possibly the cheapest house possible is a low building with a single row of pens and no alley, but such a house is very inconvenient, especially in stormy weather. A hog house should always stand east and west, facing the south, so that the maximum amount of sunshine may be had in each pen. One of the most serviceable struc tures the writer has ever seen was built by a prominent Duroc breeder. This house has been copied by many farmers. The house is 22x3G feet and contains ten pens. The gates across the alley all lift off their hinges so they can be re moved or replaced in a moment. The fronts of the pens next to the alley are Arranged Hog House. all loose panels which lift out. In this way the whole house can be J made into one large room in a few moments. The house is well ventilated and is unusually convenient and com fortable for the hogs. There are three great breeds of | hogs, and in the order of their numbers j they are Poland-t'hinas. Duroc-Jerseys and Berkshires. The Duroe-Jersey hog is rapidly becoming more popular, and deservedly so. They have all the j good points of the Poland-Chinas, but | the sows have larger litters of pigs j and the ability to save them, while the | fat hogs when ready for market out weigh Poland-China hogs of the same age and finish. The Duroe-Jersey and the Poland-China breeds originated in Ohio, and constitute the corn belt j type of hog. Long grown by breeders who selected for neatness of frame, a result favored by a ration, principally 1 corn, which consisted largely of fat j and carbohydrates, and low in content of protein and calcium salts, hogs of these two breeds are chunky, early ma turing and producers of the best lard in the world. Hogs of these breeds are fine of bone and fatten easily at early ages, making possible the large run of 175 and 200-pound hogs that were eo much in demand during the present year and always find a ready market. Though of the fine boned, meat built chunky type of hog the Duroe-Jersey is not so extreme as the Poland China. being somewhat larger and possessing more scale. Their color is a rich red or mahogany, and is very pleasing. The faults of the breed are. a tendency towards too large litters of undersized pigs, faulty backs and a tendency to sandy colors. WINTER CARE FOR HORSES AND MULES Animals Not Injured During Cold Weather if Given Good Feed and Warmth. Horses that are well fed and given warm, well-bedded stables and care fully handled are not injured by being worked in cold weather. Give good daily grooming, plenty to eat. water regularly, provide good ventilation, clean the stables every morning, and let the sun shine into the stable. Sunshine and pure air is of prime importance. Manure allowed to re main in the stable will ferment and poison the air of the stable and give the horses lung disease. When horses are brought in at night from hard work rub the legs down with bands of straw, and if warm blanket; when cooled off, remove blanket, taking care that they are not exposed to draughts. When out with team carry blankets to put on each horse if he is to stand out in the cold when warm any length of time. Carriage horses, which it is desirable should have a shiny coat, may wear linen covers but toned round the breast and having a cropper attached. When a horse Is worked hard, his food should chiefly be oats and corn. These grains! supply more nourish ment and flesh making material than any other kind of food. Give good mixed hay, just what will be eaten up clean. A careful hand will save his wages in the feeding and care of his team. For severe work mules are superior to horses. If humanely handled they are as docile as the horse, much less li able to disease. A grass pasture at tached to the barn will be a great con venience. The horses when not at work may be turned out to graze and for exercise when the weather is suit able. Stable the stock in rainy weather. Do no turn stock out when th~ ground is wet, as the sod will be injured. To Drive Out Bees. The American Bee Journal prints a report from England, which states that cloths soaked in a weak carbolic acid solution, if laid over the filled supers underneath their covers, will quickly drive all bees out of them, and the supers may then be removed. If this does not affect the taste of the honey, it is a short cut in gathering the crop. Poultry Profits. A poultry raiser's profits do not ;ome from the number of chickens he hatches, but the number raised to maturity. Stem of Pineapple. The stem of pineapples serves as a repository for starch and contains large amounts of this substance. Draught Is Harmful. A chill from sleeping in a draught Is s prolific source of loss of condition among the soas. LITTLE DIFFERENCE IN DAIRY BREEDS Milk Function Requires Certain Amount of Care, Whether Jersey or Holstein. When the best results are desired In dairy work, there is very little to be said regarding the difference in care between the different dairy breeds, says Hoard's Dairyman. Milk function requires a certain kind of care, whether it is found in the Jersey, Ayrshire, Guernsey or Holstein. The moment we expect a dairy cow to rus tle for her living, that moment she be gins to depreciate as a dairy animal. The milk-making function of the mod ern dairy cow is to a large degree ar tificial. and to keep it up to the high est state to w hich it has been devel oped requires what might be term ed artificial environment and feed ing We presume that if we would study of the history of the Ayrshires. Guernseys and Jerseys, we would find that the Ayrshire cow has been forced to do more rustling, living under more rugged and rough conditions, than either the Jersey or Guernsey. The Ayrshire comes from a country the climate of which is colder, pastures rougher, and perhaps less productive than the countries in which the Guern seys and Jerseys originate. But as the milk-making function becomes de veloped and the animal is called upon to do a larger amount of work, it demands, w hether in the case of Ayr shire. Jersey or any other breed, about the same kind of care and treatment for the best results. If, however, we should reason back to the environ ments under which the Ayrshire, Guernsey and Jersey originated, it would perhaps not be out of place to say that the Ayrshire would be a bet ter hustler for her feed than the Jer sey or Guernsey. Good Potato Crop. A crop of potatoes at the rate of 550 bushels per acre is reported by W. B. Hewitt of Kennebec county. Me. The field comprises only one-third of an acre. The variety was Green Moun tain and the fertilizer hen manure. The crop was sprayed six times dur ing the season. Kafir Corn Fodder. Kafir corn fodder has about the same feeding value as corn fodder, and can be used in the same way. Danger of Renting System. It is just as impossible to main tain soil fertility under one year rent ing system in farm management as it is for water to run uphill. In the first case it is against human nature to do anything but skin the land to the finish, and in the second, it is counter to the law of gravity, the one being quite as much in force as the other. Agricultural Industry. No industry is so vital to the well being of a nation as agriculture. CRUELEST WORSHIP IN WORLD Tribe in India Who Inflict Horrible Torture on Persons to Please Their Idols.

Buchanan & Son are always fighting for the Live Stock Shipper’s Interest GET IN TOUCH WITH THEM FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON 1 Manuscripts and Works of Popular Writer Unearthed in Samoa and Hawaii, by an Admirer. It is learned that a number of new and relatively important manuscripts of Robert Louis Stevenson have been | discovered in Samoa and in Honolulu by an ardent admirer of the great novelist, who has been for some time in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking , such writings of the famous Scotsman as might possibly be found in the pos ' session of 6ome of the many friends ! of Stevenson during his years in the ! Pacific. The Result of this research has been ■ the finding of an essay, said to be j highly poetical in character, written I by the novelist after witnessing a vol j cano in action, supposedly either the famed crater of Savaii or the pit of i Kilauea in Hawaii; a piece of fiction j dealing with South Sea life, and a j number of smaller verse compositions Still another manuscript, a blank I verse relation of a well-known legend of Maui, of considerable length, but unfinished, has also come to light, and the enthusiastic admirer of Stevenson feels highly rewarded for his month of effort.
