"I had catarrh all through my system

I was advised to try Peruna , and I have

It is no longer a question as to whether
Peruua can be relied on to cure all such
cases. During the many years in which

greater test than the past year.

INTO THE ORLD an
EVERY
inherited tendency to distress
ing , disfiguring humours of the skin , scalp , and blood ,
becomes an object of the most tender solicitude , not only
because of its suffering but because of the dreadful fear
that the disfiguration is to be lifelong and mar its future
happiness and prosperity. Hence it becomes the duty of
mothers of such afflicted children to acquaint themselves
with the best , the purest , and most effective treatment
available , viz. , THE CUTICURA TREATMENT.
"Warm baths with CDTICURA SOAP , to cleanse the skin of crusts and scales
and soften the thickened cuticle , gentle anointings with CUTICDRA OINT
MENT , to instantly allay itching , irritation , and inflammation , and soothe and
heal , are all that can be desired for the alleviation of the suffering of skin-
tortured infants and children and the comfort of worn-out , worried mothers.
A single set is often sufficient to cure when the best physicians fail.

Mounting a Grindstone.
For ordinary stones , says a Farm
and Home correspondent , the frame
should be built 18 inches wide , 30
inches high and 36 inches long. Make
the ends of 3 by 8-inch stuff and the
sides of 2 by 8 inch. Plane it up nice
ly , bolt it securely together and give
it a good coat of paint.
One can buy very good sets of
grindstone irons now for 50 cents , in
cluding a mandrel roller , bearings and
crank. I have one very serious objec
tion to the common grindstone man
drel , and that is that the crank does
not screw on , but has a square end ,
on which the crank does not fit , but
flops about "any old way" and very
often causes the one who is furnishing
the power to bruise or skin his knuckle
against the frame.
The first thing I would do with such
a mandrel would be to take it to the
nearest blacksmith shop , saw the
square end off with a hack saw , run
FBAME FOR GRINDSTONE.
a drill through the square hole in the
crank and make it round , run a tap
through the crank and thread the end
of the mandrel. By so doing you have
a good , steady , easy-going crank , with
out any backlash. Fit a piece of wood
in the square hole in the stone , find
the exact center with your dividers ;
then bore a hole the size of the mandrel
through the block. Use a piece of thick
pasteboard on each side of the stone
between the iron washer and the stone.
i
Put the stone on the mandrel , observ
ing to use the washers as above , and
screw the nut up hard and fast

Treatment of Celery.
The first thing to do is to prevent rust
and blight , which is readily done by
spraying , and this should be done when
the plants are not more than two or
three inches high. Use bordeaux mix
tures applied gently while the plants
ore small , and make a second applica
tion when the plants are six inches
high ; if a third application is needed ,
give it regardless of the size of the
plants. After the care in spraying or
rather along with it comes the culti
vation and this , must be done , at least
in part , by hand , for the weeds must be
kept out of the rows at all cost.
Blanching is next in order , and the
board process is by far the best , for
it enables the plants to get plenty of
light , so as to keep uptheir growth.
Place the boards close to the rows of
plants holding them in place with
stakes. After the plants grow above
the height of the boards , bring the lat
ter close together at the top , without
bruising the plants , so that the space is
dark and the plants will continue to
grow.
Raspberry and Blackberry.
Upon the care given the plantations
of raspberry and blackberry plants af
ter fruiting largely depends the crops
of the next season. Cultivation of the
space between the rows and around
the plants should be thorough so that
the weeds may be kept in subjection
and the moisture in the soil conserved
that the canes may make all the
growth possible. It is necessary to ob
tain strong , healthy and well ripened
lateral growths during the growing sea
son if the plants are to give a full
crop the next season. By keeping up
the cultivation the plant is kept grow
ing and the foliage clings until cut
off by the frosts in the fall ; if cultiva
tion is not done the plant , weakened
perhaps by heavy fruiting , is likely to
shed its leaves and the new growth of
vine is subjected to the warm weather
of the late summer.
Broom Corn.
Almost every family has one or more
brooms in the house , and very f ew have
any idea where the broom corn comes
from , or how it came to be grown here.
We may have told before , but it will
bear to be repeated , that Benjamin
Franklin picked the first seed that
were ever planted here from an import
ed broom , and sent them to a lady
friend to be planted. In 1899 the State
of Illinois had 95,137 acres in broom
corn , and produced GOGG5,520 pounds ,
valued at $2,357,060 in the hands of the
growers. Kansas had 34,383 acres , and
the product was 11,813,310 pounds ,
worth $458,481. Oklahoma had 12,366
acres and a crop of 3,418,490 pounds ,
worth $129,813 , and Missouri with 10-
219 acres had 3,093,930 pounds , worth
§ 159,990. It will be seen that the larg
est acreage does not always produce
the largest crop or the most money.
Texas had 3,743 acres and a crop of 1-
038,150 pounds , worth $60,313 ; Arkan
sas 879 acres , producing 304,6,09 , worth
$12,558 , and Indian Territory , 397 acres ,
with 147,020 pounds , worth $7,018.
There are amounts grown in other
States that bring the total crop up to
90,947,370 pounds in 1899 , and that was
thought a short year , though the yield
was probably less in 1900. California ,
Iowa , Nebraska and Tennessee are
among the of her States producing
broom corn. The value of 4he broom
corn crop averages about $80 per ton ,
or $20 an acre.
Low Farm Wagons.
An enormous amount of force is
wasted in loading material into high
farm wagons. It is fortunate that this
truth is being discovered and lower
gears are put into use. This sketch
shows a convenient low farm wagon ,
commodious and light , but strong
enough to make loading a very easy
matter. The long body has a truss un
der it to support the middle , the chain
being attached well under the body at
the front , to avoid the wheels in turn
ing. Side and end pieces can be put
upon such a body and a wagon box
made if needed. Let the wheels be not
only low , but let them have broad rims ,
so they will not cut into the land when

erson , in Farm and Home.
Government White-wash.
The United States government uses a
whitewash mainly on lighthouses , that
is brilliant and durable. Considerable
whitewash ought to be used on the
farm. Poultry houses may be covered
with it inside an'd out , and it may be
used to advantage on fences. The rec
ipe is as follows : Slake one-half bush
el of quicklime with boiling water , cov
ering it as soon as the water is applied.
When slaked strain it and add a peck
of salt , dissolved in warm water , three
pounds of ground rice that has pre
viously been boiled in boiling water to
a thin paste , half a pound of Spanish
whiting and one pound of clean glue ,
which has been dissolved in warm wa
ter , mix well together and let stand for
several days. The wash should be ap
plied hot , using a brush or making it
sufficiently thin so that it may be ap
plied by a spraying pump.
To Stop a Sticking Cow.
To stop a sucking cow take a piece
of half inch basswood six inches long
and four inches wide and cut into the
shape shown in
picture. Put this

she does not stop ,

in , as indicated

with the nails in , then put on a hal
ter and a surcingle. Fasten a. stiff
hardwood stick on each side from hal
ter to surcingle , placing the surcingle
of course just back of the fore legs.
If she is so determined to suck herself
that she will throw herself with this
harness , I should feed her abundantly
upon fat forming foods and visit the
butcher. Rural New Yorker.
Garden Hints.
When getting the window boxes and
garden urns ready use good , fresh soil.
Nothing is gained , and much may be
lost , by economizing in the matter of
earth.
If the violets and other spring and
autumn bloomers show signs of mildew
or mold because of too much rain , cut
off close to the ground immediately.
The plants will find it easier to make
renewed growth than to recover from
this creeping and insidious disease.
After all , the scarlet geranium can
scarcely be surpassed as a garden
standard. It can be set out at any time ,
and a number of good geraniums will
yet save the summer's happiness for
the flower lovers whose treasures have
suffered from the unusual weather. Let
them buy red geraniums and he com *

Had crazy Spells.
West Pembroke , Me. , Sept. 22d.
The 13-year-old daughter of Mrs. A. L.
Smith suffered with a peculiar afflic
tion which her mother describes as fol
lows :
"It is two years now since she wag
first taken with crazy spells.
"They kept on coming at intervals
and I could get nothing to do her any
good.
"The doctors gave me no encourage
ment. They all said they could not
help her.
"The crazy spell would last about
nine days , then she would be well about
nine days , but would eat very little and
was very yellow. Even the whites of
her eyes were yellow.
"I heard that Dodd's Kidney Pills
were a great remedy for young girls
and decided to try them.
"After taking one box Khe was com
pletely restored and she has not had
one bad spell since. Of course we con
tinued to use the pills and she used al
together five boxes last fall.
"In March I thought I saw symptoms
of the spells again and I got six boxes ,
of which she has taken four , and is in
splendid health.
"Her case was certainly a remarka
ble one. and we are very thankful to
Dodd's Kidney Pills for the great good
they have done 1113' daughter. "
