V Miss Kate Browa.
Miss Rate Brown , Recording Secre
tary of the L. C. B. Association of Kan
sas , iu n letter from 005 N. Seventh St. ,
Kansas City , Kan. , says :
"For seven years I have not known
what It was to spend a well day.
I caught a severe cold which I nejilectt'd.
It was at the time of menstruation and
inflammation set in and prostrated me.
Catarrh of the kidneys and bladder fol
lowed , my digestive organs gave vay ,
in fact the cold disarranged my whole
system.
* ' / spent hundreds of dollars with
doctors and medicine , but derived but
little benefit until I began treatment
with Peruna. I kept taking it for nearly
nine months before I was completely
cored , but I kept growing better gradu
ally so that I felt encouraged to continue
taking Peruna until my health was re
stored. I send my thanks and blessings
to you for Peruua. " Miss Kate Brown.
A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
It is more often , however , the cause of
sonic chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable to become seriously de
ranged by a neglected cold. Diseases of
the kidneys , bladder and digestive or
gans are all frequently the result of a
neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on doc
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases , but until the true cause of then *
is discovered , there will be no use in
using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine , diarrhoea medi
cine and constipation medicine is of no
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The catarrh must be treated. The
cause being removed , the derangements
will disappear.
Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive
organs , the urinary organs or any of the
internal organs.
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.

Mustard in Grain Fields.
The plant referred to scarcely needs
description , as it is so common , al
though the accompanying illustration
will impress the reader with its iden
tity. The flowers are yellow and the
leaves soft , somewhat resembling those
of rape , cabbage , turnips , etc. ; in fact
mustard belongs to the same family of
plants as those named. It Is one of the
most serious of all the weed pests. This
is due to the fact that it ripens its seed
before most of the cereals , so that the
ground is again seeded down for an
other year. But this is not all. The
seeds are so oily in their nature that
they have been known to remain in the

ground for a period of twenty-five years
when buried so deeply as to preveni
germination , and yet after this tim <
have grown vigorously. It is becaus <
of this chracteristic that it is specially
important to prevent wild mustarc
from seeding. In fields where the plants
'are few in number the labor expendec
[ by way of pulling them up by rool
Jwould be most profitable.
; Where it is not practical to pull oul
'mustard , owing to the large amount
present , it may be advisable to mak (
the cereal crop into hay rather than al
low it to ripen. If some such plan as
this is not adopted where fields are bad
ly infested with mustard it may be nee
essary in the near future to allow the
land to lie idle and adopt the summer
fallow system in order to get rid of the
pest. This would be an instance where
an ounce of remedy would be worti

Table for Handling Grapes.
I have seen large , heavy tables for
this work in many grapehouses , upon
which the grapes were emptied from
the trays to be sorted , trimmed and
packed into baskets. I do not favoi
this method of treating grapes. I think
the less they are handled the better.
The p'acking table shown makes it pos
sible to take the grapes out of the tray
stem by stem as wanted by the packer
and thus avoid the emptying out of the
grapes. The table is so constructed
that a tray fits into it tipped up suffl-

The Farmer's Telephone.
A surprising thing is the developmen
of the telephone system among th <
farmers here on the prairies , says .
correspondent in Nebraska An inde
pendent telephone company has beei
extending its lines from town to towr
and village to village. The result \ \
that farmers living from five to tei
miles from town are connected am
within speaking communication witl
doctor , storekeeper , bank , grain buy
er , etc. Farmers telephone into towi
in the morning for the price of grain
and if they like it they drive in with i
load or two. For their telephones th (
farmers pay from $1 to $1.00 a month
and as time-savers they are said to b <
worth from ten to twenty times theii
cost. At the rate the telephone sys
tern is now being developed it will noi

Evaporated or Dried Potatoes.
"Dried potatoes" is the name of .1
new product evolved by the South Car
olina Agricultural Experiment Station
The potatoes are boiled , peeled am ,
evaporated in a cannery , and will re
main in perfect condition for years. The
preserved potato becomes fit for eatlnc
after being soaked in warm water foi
an hour. Like many other new ideas
this promises to be a big thing , and it.c
development may have a great effect or
the vast potato fields of northern Maine
It is reported that an acre of potatoes
yielded 357 bushels , which made 10. :
bushels of the dried product , nearly : i
pound to 3l/2 pounds of the raw product
Although the report we have does noi
say anything about it , probably the
sweet potatoes can be subjected to the
same process. American Cultivator.
Cutting Up a Hog.
After the hog has been killed and
cleaned , cut down on each side of the
backbone with a sharp hatchet , then
with a few cuts
with the knife at
the lower part , loos
en the leaf lard , pull
it upward and take
it out. Begin at the
breast bone , and ,
with the aid of a
knife take out the
ribs. Run a knife
down between the
lean and the fat
meat of the backbone. By the aid
splits spread the hog to its full wk
and allow it to hang until it has th
oughly cooled. The accompanying d
gram will show just how the carcass
cut. If the anmal is a very heavy o
cut the sides apart , then take off 1
shoulder , then the side meat and fina
the ham. By taking it down in pie <
in this manner I can handle a hea
hog myself. B. Esterley , in Farm a
Home.
Plowing by Steam.
An exchange tells of an experhm
in plowing by steam near Lena-
Junction. The field was about eigl
rods long , containing a little over thii
acres. The engine was attached tc
four-gang plow , which turned furro
about sixteen inches wide 'ind sev
inches deep , and it laid them over vc
even and smoothly. It took just sev
minutes to make the trip of eigl
rods , with one short stop. The oul
is claimed to turn over an acre in
hour , and uses one hundred pounds
soft coal to the acre. Exchange.
Farm Notes.
If you do not have enough mam
for a large field use it on a small pi
and endeavor to make as much as p
sible by concentrating the manure a
work to a limited area. Manure m
be wasted by attempting to make it
service on a larger space than it w
profitably cover , as well as entaili
more labor than the crop can compt
sate for.
Sheep are one of the best kinds
stocks to keep in orchards. After
little practice they will pick up fall
fruit quicker than hogs ; and this
often very important , as the codli :
moth worm generally leaves the api
soon after it drops. But , with eith
sheep or hogs , sufficient food must
supplied or the trees will be barke
The food thus given goes , howev <
where it will do the most good , in t
production of the largest and be

There is quite a difference in the a
vantages of budding and grafting. T :

the bark will run on the stocks. Peac
es and roses are always budded , b
grafting is used on apples , pears ai
grapes. Budding is sometimes done
order to change the tops of quite youi
fruit trees. Dry weather is not favc
able to budding , and as a rule buddii
is not as successful as grafting.
Bones may be dissolved by the u :

The strike fever seems to have

for an increase in wages. Dispatches
say there was a hot fight for five days
even if the country is cold , and the men
won out , although by doing so the cost
of fish was increased over 100 pei
cent.
Union c-igarmakers are not in sym
pathy with the crusade against slot
machines , as they claim it will hurt
their trade. They will join in the pro
tests against the recent order and in
duce otiier unions to do likewise. The
slot machine has done much to increase
the sale of cigars , according to the
union men.
It is claimed that eight times as
many men and boys are killed and in
jured annually in the anthracite coal
mines as were killed and wounded in
the American ranks during the Span
ish-American war in Cuba. Yet the
c-oal barons say theso men , who risk
their lives for a mere pittance , have no
reason for their discontent.
Terrence V. Powderly , formerly head
of the Knights of Labor , and recently
commissioner of immigration , is novr
manager of an anthracite coal mine in
Pennsylvania. "It is not a co-opera
tive enterprise , in the strict sense , "
he says , "but it has one feature which
c-arries out a life long theory of mine.
