HER GREAT FORTUNE.
A Woman Saved From Life-Long
Misery and Made , Happy
and Useful.
A woman confined to the house for
several years with a chronic female
derangement had finally given up hope
of being cured.
She had tried physician after phy
sician , and remedy after remedy , with
out any permanent improvement.
Her treatment had cost her husband ,
who was a poor man , hundreds of del
lars. They had been obliged to deny
themselves many comforts of life in
order to get money enough to pay the
physicians.
The woman had become weak , nervous
and wretched , and scarcely able to keep
out of her bed. Her children were
growing up neglected and ragged , be
cause of the want of a mother's care.
Her husband was becoming discouraged
and broken down with overwork.
Picking up the paper one day she hap
pened to read an item which contained
the news that Dr. Hartman would treat
such cases free of charge by letter. She
immediately wrote the doctor , describing
her case , and giving him all her symp
toms.
She soon received a letter telling her
exactly what to do , aud what medi
cines and appliances to get. She beyran
the treatment ( the priucipal remedy be
ing Peruna ) at once , and in a few weeks
she was well and strong again , able to
do her own work.
This offer of free home treatment to
women is still oppn to nil who may need
the services of this eminent physician.
All letters applying for treatment will
be promptly anp-vered , and be held
strictly confidential.

IlnnclHn ; : Corn Crop.
In sections where the com crop Is
likely to be short it must be handled
carefully to get the best results from
It If the corn is fed and one has a
silo the corn should be cut as soon as
It begins to dent and put into the silo.
If without the silo then the plan
should be to allow the corn to stand
as long as it is possible to do so
without danger of frost. When it is
cut it should be carefully shocked and
fed in any way that is the most econ
omical. While the writer does not like
the plan of feeding it to cattle in
open yards or fields with hogs to fol
low , the plan is one of economy , and ,
perhaps , ought to be followed this
year by those who have done it here
tofore. If possible to shred the corn
it should be done , for in this way the
cattle will consume the bulk of it.
Keep in mind the lesson which the
short corn crop teaches , the value of
the silo and plan for one another
year.

Growers of high-grade apples should
look into the prospects of the foreign
markets. Correspondents in the large
cities who ship apples to Europe ad
vise us that the demand is promising
and that prices will rule quite high.
They say , however , that only the liiH
est fruit should be sent then it must
;
be properly wrapped inwhite or
inanila tissue paper , and advocate the
use of the box , rather than the bar
rel. Prices are such on the other side
that more fruit will be sold if pocked
in boxes tlrurif packed in barrels.
Crisp apples are those preferred , and
such varieties as Wealthy , Snow ,
Gravenstein and Alexander are al
ways salable. Growers are advised
to communicate with some reliable
commission man and get in touch with
those who export apples , but only if
the quality is high , for it will not pay
to export poor fruit.
C'ut i < runt Tr
In a recent address Secretary Wil
son , of the United States Department
of Agriculture , spoke as follows : "I
am sorry to say it , but it is a fact ,
that unless something is done right
away there will be very few tracts of
timber left in the country within
lifteen years. It may be a little longer ,
but not much. " Later in his remarks
he also said : "The only remedy lies
in educating the farmer up to the
vjm ssity of planting trees , and In the
gi v-irniuent also planting. "
This is certainly a startling condi
tion of affairs and one which should
make every farmer , with land to
spare , more than willing to set out
forest trees , if not for his own profit ,
for the benefit and protection of his
children and his children's children.
The deportment at Washington will
be glad to co-operate with any farmer
who is interested. Write the secretary
of agriculture.
A Vnst { tklnlminn Farm.
The Oklahomans claim to have the
largest farm in the southwest. It is
the 101 ranch in the Ponca reserva
tion , and is so big that it is necessary
to plant several varieties of wheat
in it. one of which ripens several days
later than the other , in order that all
of them may be harvested at their
prime. On this farm the wheat fields
are of 1,000 acres each , the cattle
pastures are 1,000 to 1,500 acres each
and pasture 6,000 head rnnually , the
corn rows are one and a half miles
long , requiring 500 mules and 300 men
to handle the crop , and it takes 30
self-binders three weeks to cut the
wheat crop and a dozen or more steam
threshers 40 days to thresh it. There
are 50,000 acres in the ranch.
Potato Hot and Time of I > ijrcinp : .
The question of how soon blighted
potatoes should be dug has been fre
quently asked the authors , and a se
ries of Investigations has been under
taken at the Vermont station to ascer
tain the proper time of digging. The
size of the plats and the extent of the
experiment are considered too limited
to admit of generalizations , but it ap
pears that there was usually a greater
loss from the earlier digging. So far
as the investigations go , they seem to
show that where there is danger of potato
tate rot It is best to delay the digging
for ten days or more after the tops
have died. Exchange.
