YORK NEBR Thank Pe-ru-na for Their Recovery After Years of Suffering. Miss Mnriel Armit.iRC , SO Green wood Ave. , Detroit , Mich. , District Organizer of the Royal Templars of Temperance , in a recent letter , says : "i think that a woman naturally shrinks from making her troubles public , but restored health has meant so much to me that 1 feel for the sake of other suffering women it is my duty to tell what Peruna has done for me. "I suffered for five years with uterine irregularities , which brought on hysteria and made me a physical wreck. I tried doctors from the dif ferent schools of medicine , but with out any perceptible change in my condition. In my derpair I called on an old nurse , who advised me to try Peruna. and promised good results if I would persist and take it regularly. I thought this was the least I could do and procured a bottle. I knew as soon as I began taking it that it was affecting me differently from any thing I had used before , and so I kept on taking it. I kept this up for six months , and steadily gained strength and health , and when I had used fifteen bottles I considered myself entirely cured. I am a grateful , happy woman today.Miss Muriel Arinitage. Peruna cxrrfes catarrh of the pelvic organs with the same surety as it cures catarrh of the head. Peruna has become renowned as a positive cure for female ailments simply be cause the ailments are mostly due to catarrh. Catarrh is the cause of the trouble. Peruna cures the ca tarrh. The sj'mptoms disappear. work without the greatest exhaustion. This is a very common sight and is almost always due to pelvic catarrh. It is worse than foolish for so many ) women to suffer year after year with ai disease that can be permanently cured. Peruna cures catarrh permanently. It cures old chronic cases as well as a slight attack , the only difference being in the length of time that it should be taken to effect a cure. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Penma , write at once to Dr. Ilartiiian , giving a full statement of your case , and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis. < Address Dr. Jlartman , President of The Ilartman Sanitarium , Columbus , Ohio.

Some people make an intelligent study of food and get on the right tiack ( pure food ) , others are . luckj enough to stumble upon the right wa3 out of the difficulty just as a Philadel phia young woman did. She says : "I had suffered terriblj from nervous Indigestion , everything seemed to disagree with me and I "was on the point of starvation when one day I happened to run acr ss a demon stration of Postum Food Coffee at one of the big stores here. "I took a sample home and a sample of Grape Nuts as well and there tried them again and found they agreed with me perfectly.

Hogs of 200 to 250 pounds weight ire best for family UFG In dressing a hog It should be so hung that it can be split down the back , and the sides allowed to separate , the head being cut off. The leaf and some other sur plus fat should be removed at or.ee. This allows the meat to cool thorough ly , and it Is in good shape to handle. The meat bairel should be kept in a cool place without freezing. A good tvay to keep the hams and shoulders after being cured is to slice and fry ana pack in jars , covering with hot lard. Fresh pork may be kept this way in hot weather , but it must be thoroughly cooked. While the cured meat requires much less cooking to preserve it. Allow the hog to thoroughly cool be fore cutting , carefully trim hams and shoulders and split the sides in two lengthwise. Sprinkle bottom of bar rel with fine salt , and rub each piece Df meat with salt. Pack in barrel with hams on the bottom , shoulders next and sides on top. After three days cover the meat with brine made as follows : Water , S gallons ; salt. 12 pounds ; sugar , 3 pounds ; saltpeter , 3 ounces ; concentrated lye , 3 teaspoons. Boil all together and skim. After coolIng - Ing , pour over the meat. Leave in brine from four to six weeks , then smoke as desired. The bilne should be strong enough to bear up an egg. Philadelphia Record. Rain and Snn Proof Coop. I have a chicken coop which I think suits me better than any other I have tried before. This coop is made out of cheap lumber. The bottom is hing.d MR. BECRAJTTS COOP. at the back to the upper part. At the front I drive two staples to fasten the coop down so as it can be moved about. The upper part conies down over the floor all the way so that you can put a nail through the staple The shade in the front is to keep the sun and rain out. These coops are very easy to clean. .7. C. Recraft in Poultry Keeper. Care of Winter Apj > le > . Gathering mid. storing Avinter apples is an important duty that must be at tended to before the heavy fro--ts begin in the fall. Apples that aie to be ko..t over winter should be cart-fully picked and placed in IwirreK After picking they should be left in the open air for some time , as this tends to thoroughly ripen them. They also pass through a sweat at first , and it is much better if they can be left exposed so that all fnir- face moisture is evaporated. Fruit should be placed in a cool , dark cellar. In some instances where there are a few barrels of specially good apples the practice is adopted of wrapping the apples in paper. This prevents them from coming in contact with one another and will msure their keeping- It usually pays to pick over apples two or three times during the winter , so that those showing signs of decay may be discarded. Windfalls should never be placed among apples that are hand- picked. A plentiful supply of apples to be nsed in the family during the winter will contribute much to the general healthfulness of every member of the family. Iowa Homestead. A Primitive Threahiiijr Machine. A common sight in the agricultural districts of Hungary is two women treading out grain by means of a beam. The woman seated on the ground takes a bundle of grain and puts it under one end of the beam. When the grain is is place the woman leaning on the pole for support takes a step backward which has the effect of raising the broad , flat end of the beam , and making the other end fall in a hole made for that purpose. Then a quick step forward , with some little pressure , brings the thick end of the beam down on the wheat and flattens It out so effectually as to separate the grain from the husks. Dairy Farm Side Lines. Along with dairy farming naturally goes the ponltry business. And a nice , clean , profitable business it is , too. Sere is a fine field for the women folks. They naturally take more pride In the chickens than the man d es , al though now and then we do find men who enter heart and soul into the keep ing of poultry. There is always a good ieal of skimmed milk on the dairy farm which would be apt to go to waste were it not for the hens. They ire the greatest of scavengers. Every Irop of the sour and skimmed mflk is ajdelicious morsel for the hen , and sine will turn it to good account , too. Pork also adds its mite , and it is not a small mite , either , to the revenues of the up-to-date dairy farm. During the last few years pork has sold at splendid figures. For the money It brings in , pork involves perhaps as little labor as anything about the farm. Here , too , is a place where one must be in love with his business. That Is the only key to success. Beardless Wheat. Those who have had the most ex perience in combating the hessian tiy are the strongest believers hi the late sowing o f wheat \ \ , wherever it can be done. Some varieties are better for late towing than others , and the two shown in the illustration seem to be especially snit- ed f r late sowing. The center head of the illustration shows a beardless sort known as the Claw on Longberry. The variety is a strong BEAKB OB HEAT. grower and stools prolltically , the stra\\ being strong and wiry.

The straw is strong , though only medium tall The chaff is thin and of a peanj white. The grain is dark and flinty , and nearly as large as rye kernels. This variety is much prized as a fancj milling sort. Indianapolis News. The Farm and the Man. How any farm should be crnpppo depends upon where the farm is , its character and location. Some farms are by nature pasture farms , becatso they are not adapted to cultivation ; other farms invite tillage. Size , too , is a controlling factor. A crop rota tion and schedule of farm work thai is admirable for fifty acres may be wholly impracticable for five hundred or a thousand. The ambition to own and cultivate broad acres is an Ameri can disease. This disease is not so much a desire to add to worldly pos sessions as it is for a gratification o ] the ownership of dominion ; when an alyzed it will be found to be a feature of man's kinship Avith nature. Another arid the most important fac tor of a 11 * is the man himself. The man makes the farm good or bad , as he makes everything else that comes under his control The experience ol one farmer is invaluable to another , but each farm is nevertheless a-separ ate and local problem which the farm er must think out and work out him self.

The good dairy cow Las a good appetite and eaU heavily , but her feed goes to milk ricl in butter fat instead of to the makln $ of flesh. The Keifer pear is one of the best varieties for canning , and is also nardj and a strong grower , but the supposi tlon that it is free from attacks ol blight is not corroborated by growers There is no blight-proof pear. It is the seed that mostly exhaust * the land of plant food.

Gat lime will not serve as a substitute foi stone lime , but shell lime is excellent however , though the use of stone linw should be preferred. The cost is compared with the benefits derived.
