CAPTAIN O. BEKTOLETTO.
Captain O. Bertoletto of the Italian
Barque "Lineelles. " in a recent letter
( rom tno chief office of the Italian
{ jerque Lmcelles. Pensacola , Fla. . writes :
" / have suffered for several years
with chronic catarrh of the stomach.
The doctors prescribed for me without
my receiving the least benefit. Through
one of your pamphlets I began the use
of Peruna , and two bottles have en
tirely cured me. I recommend Peruna
to all my friends.O. . Bertoletto.
In catarrh of the stomach , as well as
catarrh of any part of the body , Perunsi
is the remedy. As has been often said
if Penma will cure catarrh of one part !
it will cure catarrh of any other part ol
the body.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located ,
and the remedy that will cure it any-
where will cure it everywhere.

.7. D. JJotkin.
This is fj case of catarrh of the stomach
which had run for twenty-five years ,
according to his statement , and Pcrana
has at oni'o come to his relief , promptly
accomplishing for him more benefit than
he had lieeu .able to find in all other rem
edies during a quarter of a century.
It stands to reason that a man of
wealth and influence , like a Congress
man of the great United States , has left
no ordinary means untried and no stone
unturned to find a cure.
If such cures as these do not , verify
the claim nor only that dyspepsia is due
to catarrh of the stomach , but also that
Peruna will cure catarrh of the stomach ,
it is impossible to imagine how any evi-
lence could do so.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna ,
write at once to Dr. Hartman , giving a
full statement of your case , and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.

The Hartman Sanitarium , Columbus ,

Coops for Young Chicks.
When the early-hatched chicks arc
two or three months old it is si good
plan to go over the flock and take out
such pullets as are promising and which
will form the laying flock of the win
ter. Such chicks must be separated from
the main flock , so that they may be
given the neeed attention , and must
be provided Avitb shelter at night , even
though they have the range during the
daj" . Coops like that shown in the illus
tration are inexpensive , as they are
formed from large dry goods boxes.
Saw the back of a box so that a slant
ing roof may be nailed on and be cov
ered with tarred paper to make it wa
terproof.
The door is hinged to the box and
the illustration shows how it is hooked
up during the day when the chicks are
out. The three auger holes of good size
just above the door provide ventilation ,
although at one side is an opening to
permit fresh air in the coop while the
weather is warm , this opening to be se
curely covered with heavy wire netting
of rather fine mesh. If for any reason
it is desirable to confine the birds for
any portion dt the day , they will be
quite comfortable if a water can is
placed inside the coop , as shown in
Figure 1 , and it is secured at either
side by a loop of wire to a screw , so
that it cannot be tipped over. The wa
ter may be poured into the can from
the outside , through the wire netting.
The small food trough , shown at Figure
3 , is so simple anyone can make it. Two
end pieces are secured by a bottom
board , the desired size : a narrow strip
is placed at the back and another strip
nailed from the highest point.
From these two strips are fastened
heavy wires , which permit the chicks
to thrust their heads through and get

the outside of the coop , although the
chicks cannot jrct their feet in it. Fiir-

Kemedy for Gapes.
fJapos ; ire usually due to filth , the ent-
mjx of the residuum of food previously
jriven and food in jr in damp places. It
is believed that they arc propagated in
earthworms , but facts have been dis
covered substantiating this claim. The
best remedy for gapes , if the chicks will
eat. N to add a rcaspoonful of spirits of
turpentine to a mixture of one pint of
corn meal and a half pint of middlings ,
says an exchange. Thoroughly incor
porate the turpentine Avith'the dry ma
terial , then scald as much of the ma
terial as may be required and feed to
the chicks on a clean board. Put ten
drops of carbolic acid in every pint of
drinking water and change the water
frequently every day. There is no sure
remedy for gapes , and inserting feather
tips into the windpipe to draw out the
gape worms can be done only by an ex
perienced person. There are suggested
remedies , but thoy'aro sometimes as fa
tal to the chicks as the gapes.

We havo heard people say that , a
runt pig was not worth raising , and it
would be better to kill ft at birth. This
may be true where the litter is a' large
one , but if the sow has milk enough for
it and the others it costs but little to
raise it to weaning time. Then take it
from > the others , that they may not
crowd it at the trough or in the sleep
ing quarters , and fee'd it regularly to
fatten quickly. It will never eat a very
large amount or make a very large hog.
but if healthy it will fatten quickly and
soon be almost as broad as it is long.
The cheapest and best pork we over
made was a runt pig that we killed
when it weighed a little less than 150
pounds , so fat that be would not stand
up long enough to eat.We t never heard

An Old Gander on Guard.
"Keep an old gander , " says a writer
n a gardening paper , "if you would
irotect young chicks from their ene
mies in the shape of dogs , > .Us , crows
and magpies. The gentleman will be
found of great use , shifting all objec
tionable characters with commendable
promptness. Not only will intruders
be smartly looked after , but the gander
will make as much noise as possible
while performing his duty , thus giving
the poultry keeper and game rearer
warning when all is not right. "
Hoine-Macle "Windmills.
A farmer of Dodge County , Neb. ,
writes as follows to Iowa Homestead :
"I have had some experiments with
homemade windmills that I would like
to contribute for the benefit of your
readers. I have been experimenting
with three designs , shown at 1 , 2 and
3. The shaft to which the arms are at
tached are upright , the four arms pro
jecting at right angles across the up
per end of the shaft. By placing swing
ing frames covered with canvas on the
arms the wind will catch and turn the
shaft by blowing against the fans on
the sides indicated by arrows. As they
pass around to the opposite side they

will open as seen at C. In Figure 1 at
A will be seen one of the wings catch
ing the breeze and is held in place by
a rope attached to the arm in the rear
of it ; as it passes around to B its edge
is towards the wind. Passing a little
further the wind strikes it on the op
posite side , and , having nothing to re
sist , it raises out of the way until it
comes around to the point D , when it
falls in position to again catch the wind.
The same principle is found in Figures
2 and 'i. These wings are so construct
ed as to become pendulous and unre
strained when returning against the
wind , to be caught rigid when the wind
acts upon them so as to obtain power. "
Soil for Small Fruits.
It is almost impossible to do the work
of preparing the soil for small fruits
too thoroughly , and this is particularly
the case with strawberry plants. Much
of this preparatory work may be done
in the late summer and fall as soon sis
the crop now occupying the soil is re
moved. Fertilizers should be applied ,
the soil should be plowed and thorough
ly harrowed and covered with a crop of
some kind that may be plowed under in
the early spring.
After su < h crop is plowed under the
soil should be harrowed several times to
put it in the best possible condition be
fore sotting the plants. If one has a
strip of ground that can be used for the
purpose at Ibis time it will be found a
irood plan to set out a number of va
rieties of slr.-iwberry plants now. using
the pot-grown plants that are offered
by plantsmen at this season. These
plants will fruit next summer , and
while thjy are quite inexpensive there
is no cheaper way of having a test bed.
Binder for Corn Fodder.
It is coining time when Southern
farmers are getting ready to top their
corn for fodder. As corn has been so
scarce this year corn-
top fodder will proba
bly be worth more
than usual. Farmers
know that when ty
ing tops they often
get out of order from
not being tied rightly
enough. By using this binder you can
tie the stalks firmly. It is made by
taking a piece of barrel stave about
eighteen inches long , and two sticks
three feet long , with rings to slip over
end .of stick. W ien closed together ,
fasten hook abouts'one footfrom lower
end. Use a pairof ! hinges to fasten
sticks to the stave , and , taking a strap
? l-o feet long , with one end fasten to
stick as shown. Cut several holes In
the end of strap to fit any bundle.
When the bundle is bound , take twine
mid tie. Then release the binder and
you have a firmly tied sheaf. A. V.

Cucumbers ami
Cucumbers , squashes and melons pre
fer rich soil and an abundance of well-
rotted manure. Old sawdust , or rotten
\vood mixed with manure , are said to
he serviceable. It will'be an advantage
to allow cucumbers to grow on stakes
w bushes the same as peas. Tomatoes
may also be fastened to stakes. One
jf the best plans is to grow cucumbers
i long a fence if the location is not too
shady. - t

A Good Cook Wasted.
She had studied not philosophy , nor had
dallied with theosophy ,
Which often tries to lift the veil for
just u little look ;
Bhe avoided the piano , did Miss Ann
Eliza Hannah.
And devoted all her intellect to learning
how to cook.
With an earnest air and serious she-
studied stews mysterious ,
And mastered all the processes < f
making wholesome bread :
Her pies were each a poem , and she
would proudly show 'em ;
"Oh. how lucky will her husband be ! "
her friends and neighbors said.
But , alas ! for all endeavor , that forovei

For the fellow that she married by dys

That he wouldn't let her cook a thiiu

Canned Tomatoes.
See that rubbers and tops are in nor-
feet condition and thoroughcli'i'i. ! .
Scald the tomatoes and peel. Into cold
jars pack as many of the uncut toma
toes as you can , being careful not to
break. Add a half-teaspoonful of Pal ;
to each jar , then pour in enough cold
water to fill to overflowing. Wipe off
each top , put on the rubber , wipe out
the lid and screw this on about two-
thirds , or so that you may pick it up
by the lid without its coming off , but
still loose enough to let out the steam.
Of strips of wood make a litle platform
to fit the bottom of the boiler and stand
the jars on this. The criss-cross strips
of wood should be an inch or two from
the bottom of the boiler. Pour ! n
enough cold water to come half way rp
the jars , put the lid on the boiler and
boil hard for twenty minutes. Take off
the lid and as soon as .you can handle
them with a cloth screw on each jar
cover as tight as possible whilo the
jars still stand in the hot water. Take
out and tighten for the last time. Cover
with a warm , damp cloth on a wooden
table. When cold put away. The to
matoes keep their shape and ttisto al
most like fresh ones.
Toast.
Trim the crusts from stale slices you
wish to toast and move it carefully
over a clear red fire for two minutes.
Then turn it over and let all the mois
ture be drawn out of the bread. But

be utilized , especially for breakfast , in
all sorts of ways. Plain toast is a fa
vorite in most households , then there
is milk toast , cream toast , dropped
eggs on toast , water toast , and the ex
cellent dish of bread soaked in egg and
milk which has all sorts of names ,
French , Spanish , ( Jerman and Scotch
toast , but more properly egged rn.-isr.
