Dr. Hartman , Columbus , O. ,
Dear Sir :
"I look
Peruna last sum
mer "when I 'was all rzm
down , and had a headache
and backache , and no ambi
tion for anything. I now
feel as w'ell as I ever did in
all my life , and all thanks
is due to your excellent Pe
runa. " Bess F. Healy.
The symptoms of summer
catarrh are quite unlike in
different cases , but the most
common ones are general lassi
tude , played-out , tired-out ,
used-up , run-down feelings ,
combined with more or less
heavy , stupid , listless , mental
condition. Relish for food and
the ability to digest food seems
to be lost.
Skin eruptions , sallow com
plexion , biliousness , coated
tongue , fitful , irregular sleep ,
help to complete the picture
which is so common at this
season.
Peruna so exactly meets all
these conditions that the de
mand is so great for this rem
edy at this season of the year
that it is nearly impossible to
supply it.
If you do not receive prompt
and satisfactory 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 advice gratis.

BEST FOR THE BOWELS
, Wives are objects of bargain and
sale in parts of Russia. In tbe dis
trict of Kmyschin. on the Volga ,
for example , the price of a pretty
girl from a well-to-do family ranges
from $50 to $100 , and in special cases
a"much higher sum is obtained. To
tbe villages tbe lowest price is about
S25. Ifc is customary for tbe fathers
of tbe intruding bride and bride-
'groom to haggle for a lonsr time over
ithe price to be paid for the young
'lady.
Story so old that it may be new to
rnaay : A stuttering man went into
a doctor's office to be cured of stut
tering. The doctor was engaged inj
bis private ollice , but there was a (
mau in the waiting rooms , and tbej
new comer talked to him. He ( the
new comer ) said he was very anxious
to be cured of stuttering , and won
dered whether the d-d-rl-doctor could
d-d-d-do him any good To which
the other uI-I-I-tbink
man replied : - - -
h-h-h-h-be can. H-h-b-b- - c-c-
cured me. "
Medicine Never Healed a Wound
Nature performs the healing-process and medicine can only as
sist her in 'doing her work in healing wounds and throwing off
diseases. Nine-tenths of the diseases of man and beast have their
origin in some form of germs and if allowed to run and multiply
form complications. The reason that } Liquid Koal prevents all
germs dieases and cures them , unless fermentation and inflamma
tion have too far developed , is that it contains every antiseptic
arid germicida known to science. All germ diseases such as hoc
cholera , swine plague , corn stalk diseasestubercolosis , blackleg and
numerous others can be prevented by giving Liquid Koal in drink
ing water , because they are germ diseases and no germ can live
where Liquid Koal reaches it. Liquid Koal is unaffected Dy the
gastric juices of the stomach , passes through the intestines and
from there into the circulation , oermeating the whole system and
still retains all'its germiclal properties. Diluted with water. In
the proportion of one to one hundred , it makes the best lice killer
known. *

A Weed Puller.
Another machine bas been invented
for the use of the farmer. The picture
Bbows the invention doing its work ,
and gives an idea of the mechanism by
which it is operated. Two fluted roll
ers are mounted on an adjustable sup
port at the rear of a sulky , with chain
gearing to rotate them rapidly as tbe
machine is drawn over tbe ground. As
the flutings on the face of the rollers
mesli closely together , it is easy to un
derstand bow any weed or grass which
once gets between them will be drawn
up , until it is finally lifted out of the
ground , roots and all. To Insure tbe
killing of higher growths , tbe machine

lias been fitted with a series of rotary
blades , wbicb feed tbe tops of tbe
weeds down beneath the face of tbe
first roller instead of allowing tbis
roller to strike tbe steins and push tbe
weeds over , without uprooting them.
So-Called Corn Wheat.
In sections of tbe West there is be
ing grown a variety of wheat known
ns Polish wheat , which bas compara
tively little value except , perhaps , as
a food for stock. Public accounts of
tbis wbeat have been so garbled tbat
farmers have a wrong impression of
it. As tbis wheat is grown In tbe
Northwest , it produces wonderfully ,
and tbe kernels are much larger than
those of tbe recognized varieties of
wheat , and when fed to stock it is said
to have wonderful fattening results.
Tbat it has some merit there is little
doubt , for it bas given fairly good re
sults in the making of macaroni flour ,
although not so good as tbe results
from tbe true macaroni wheat. It is
doubtful if it is safe to use it largely
in tbe fattening of stock , although it
is worthy of test in tbat way. Seeds
men in tbe North and. West can doubt
less furnish seeds in small quantities ,
nnd tbe reputation already acquired
makes it worth a test. In some sec
tions tbe variety .is known as Emmer
and some seedsmen catalogue it under
tbat name.

Rock Gardens.
A rockery Is attractive if well made
and not out of place. It should be
made only in locations where a nat
ural beap of rocks covered with flow
ers and vines would not seem unex
pected or out of tune with surround-
ings. A sunken rockery is tbe most
attractive , but the hillock shape is less
costly. If convenlen , build on a shady
southeast slope. Dig below frost line
nnd use tbe earth removed as side fill
ing. Tbe stone work should be finish
ed and firmly wedged before filling
with earth and gravel. Good plants ,
mosses , vines and ferns can be found
ibout any forest ledge , and the nur
serymen sell rock plants and alpine
plants adapted to such locations. Ex

Butter or Goose Fat.
' The most popular substitute for but
ter in Germany is said to be geese ft-.t.
eWigbt for weight , butter costs lens
tban tbe fat , but then tbe latter speitfs
to be far more economical. A pound of
excellent butter can be bad in Berlin
for about 30 cents. Goose fat , on the
other hand. Is sold by tbe litre (1.76 (
) int ) at an average price of 70 to 75
cents. In a recent government publi
cation there appeared a suggestion
from tbe American consul at Berlin to
tbe effect that Germany offers a good
market for this article of food.
Wages.
An Engllsb farmer writes that he
cnows several farmers who have late-
y surrendered their rented farms sole-
y from the difficulty of getting labor
ers ; and in that neighborhood a good
bouse and garden free , and a wage ol
about $3.10 a week "can be bad for the
asking. " American farmers meet a
similar difficulty , although offering at
least double the English , wages. Ex

Fertilizing for Tomato Crops.
Althougjj tbe following Information
is based on the work of a grower o (
tomatoes for canning factories almost
exclusively , it is of value to any ona
who grows the medium and late sorts
for any market. Muriate of potash
oOO pounds , nitrate of soda 400 pounds ,
bone tankage 700 pounds , and acid
phosphate 400 pounds , using of tliii
mixture 500 pounds an acre. . ' 500
pounds being used broadcast before
harrowing and UOO pounds in the hills.
Tibs formula supplies the food needed
by the plants in addition to wbat is
naturally supposeu to be In the fairly
f.ertile soil , and should give as a result
a large crop of fine tomatoes of good
color. Naturally , the result will de
pend s6mewhat on the varieties used ,
which for canning purposes should al
ways be such as will ripen all over and
be of a deep red color. It is always
safe to select varieties of this descrip *
tlon for any market , as they are at
tractive to the eye and generally of
good quality. The old favorite Paragon
gen probably comes as near to the
Ideal variety as any , all things consid
ered.
Two New Sprays.
The difficulty of killing plant and
tree lice with the usual spray mixtures
is well known. Good results are re
ported from the use of a new mixture
containing one pound hard soap , one
quart castor oil , one-fourth pound car
bonate of soda , one gallon water. The
soap and acid were boiled in water
and mixed with .the castor oil while
heated ; the mixture was then diluted
with 10 to 20 per cent of water for
spraying. In fighting tree lice , it is
important to apply the liquid used be
fore tbe leaves begin to curl and en
close the insects. For scale insects , a
mixture reported satisfactory is prepared -
pared as follows : Ten quarts boiling
water , one quart carbolic acid , one
quart soft soap. The mixture is stir
red until an emulsion is formed and
is applied by means of a brush. Amer

Device for Catch ing Fowls.
Whether or not a fowl will quietly
submit to the approach of the imple
ment shown in the drawinz anv more
than it would
stand still and al
low a man to get
within reaching
distance , only a
practical applica
tion can deter
mine. It is possi
ble , however , tbat
the device can be
moved more rapid
ly .than a person
moves , and thus
deceive the fowl. The idea is intro
duced by a Kentnckiau , who stated
that it will do its work without injury
to the legs , and enable the fowl to
stand naturally after its capture , with
out , however , giving it an opportunity
to escape.
Sowing Onions.
Sow from four to six pounds pet
acre. Four pounds per acre is plenty
providing the seed is good , the seed
bed good , and maggots not numerous.
Sow eighteen seeds to the foot , if the
seed is good , which in rows about six
teen inches apart , makes about five
pounds per acre. Sow with any good
garden-seed sewer , first regulating to
sow as desired.
Farm Notes.
The fodder shredder is doing gooc
work in one respect , and that Is In
reducing the number of shocks of corfl
that stands in the fields all winter. Ai
the shredder husks the corn , and
shreds it at the same time , farmers
find that it is more comfortable to haul
the fodder to the barn than to stand
out in the fields and husk the corn
and then waste the fodder.
There is one crop that must be at ,
tended to now or it will soon be too
late asparagus. It comes earlin thft
year , almost as soon as the frost leaves
: he ground' . The bed will be benefited ;
if shoots have not apepared , by receiv
ing a covering of straw , salt hay o
any refuse material and burnt over , sa
as to destroy disease germs that may ]
be left over on the surface of the
ground from last year.
Growing a lot of pumpkins in a field
of corn is an old practice , but it is
doubtful if pumpkins so grown are as
profitable as when grown as a separate
crop from corn. The pumpkins will
prevent the proper cultivation of corn ,
as working the corn destroys the
pumpkin vines , the result being thaf
late weeds get a chance to grow and
mature. It is urged in defense of
growing pumpkins in the corn field
: hat they do not interfere with cultiva
tion until the corn is "laid by , " but
much depends on the land , rainfall and
thoroughness of cultivation. Corn
should never be "laid by" as long as
weeds and grass can have an oppor
tunity to grow , cultivation being given
if it is possible for a horse to pass
the rows.

worse. Before I had

was feeling so .much
better that I got mor *
