KIDNEY TROUBLE Suffered Two Years Relieved In Three Months. TV/TR. / C. B. FIZSR , Mt. Sterling , K/ . , * * - * writes : " / have suffered with kidney mnd other trouble for ten years past. "Last March I commenced using Peruna and continued for three months. I have not used it since , nor have I felt a pain. "I believe that I am well and I there fore give my highest commendation to the curative qualities of Peruna. " Pe-ru-na For Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Geo. H. Simser , Grant , Ontario , Can. , writes : "I had not been well for about four years. / had kidney trouble , and , in fact , felt badly nearly all the time. "This summer 1 got so very 'bad I thought I would try Peruna , so I wrote to you and began at once to take Peruna and Manalin. "I took only two bottles of Peruna and one of Manalin , and now I feel better than I have for some time. "I feel that Peruna and Manalin cured me and made a different woman of me altogether. I bless the day I picked up the little book and read of your Peruna. " It is the business of the kidneys to remove from the blood all poisonous materials. They must be active all tha time , else the system suffers. There are times when they need a little assistance. Peruna is exactly this sort of a rem edy. It has saved many people from disaster by rendering the kidneys ser vice at a time when they were not able to bear their own burdens. Precautionary Ventilation. The man who entered the smoking car of the elevated train at Forty-third street strode to the rear end and opened the doors. Then he went half way back , sat down and lighted a cigar. An icy gale blew through the car , and two or three men started for the rear doors for the purpose of closing them. "Wait a few moments , gentlemen , " said the passenger sitting next to the new comer. "This man knew what kind of a cigar he was going to smoke a great ( leal better than we did. " Chicago Tribune.

PAXTON CO. , Boeton , Mace. t" * GOOD SMtQtofies ! i * The pompous judge glared sternly over his spectacles at the tattered pris oner , \vlio had been dragged hefore the bur of justice on a charge of vagrancy. "Have you ever earned a dollar in your life ? " he asked , in fine scorn. "Yes , your honor , " was the response ; "I voted for you at the last election. " Xot long ago a young Irishman was seeking work in southern Illinois , and among those to whom he applied was a fanner near Cairo. The fanner was attracted by the Celt's frank , cheery manner , and , while he was not in need of help , he asked , after a pause : "Can you cradle ? " "Cradle ! " repeated the Irishman. "Sure , I can ! But , sir , " ho added , persuasively , "couldn't ye give me a job out of dures ? " Two Marseillaises were discussing the borit method of eating game. "Well , " said one. "if it is a woodcock , I hang it up on a nail by the beak and fasten some larks on its ciaws. After a week I throw away the woodcock and eat the larks , which by that time have absorbed all the flavor of the woodcock. " "I do the same , " replied the other , not to be outdone , "except that I throw away the larks as weli as the woodcock , and eat the nail. " Mr. Smith has very strict ideas of order , und has also a great belief in his personal courage. Passing a club , whence noisy sounds were proceeding , he said to a friend : "This won't do. As usual , there isn't a policeman in sight , so I must go in and turn these royster- ers out. You stop outside and count them as I throw them out of the door. " In went the valorous Smith , and soon a heavy body came out of the window , with much breaking of glass. "That's one ! " shouted the friend , counting. "Don't count any more , " said a voice from the gutter , where the figure lay rubbing its bruises. "It's me that came out ! " Down the winding country road walked a strange trio a comely and perfectly composed looking maiden and two men , on each of whose faces one could perceive the influence of the green eyed monster. Suddenly a severe thun der storm came on. Lightning flashed , and Mr. Brown remarked that he was frightened. Here was Robinson's chance. "What are you afraid of ? " he asked , contemptuously. "I am as cool as can .be. " "Why , of course , " an swered the astute Brown. "If I were alone I should be the same , but I am afraid for Miss Jones in this lightning. You see she is so attractive.

Have you salted the stock this week ? The refuse pea vines make good hog food and ( better manure. Break the colts to the halter while very young and they will not become halter pullers. Why Is it that so many farmers lo cate their feed lots -in the lowest ground on the farm ? Many families are 'broken ' upby the parents regarding the children as mere money-making capital. Have at least one hive of bees if fruit Is a specialty. Bees -arc valuable assistants In fertilizing the fotossoms. If you keep the cows in the baru at night see that they are well bedded and cleaned In the morning before milking. Watch open wounds on the stock in hot , showery weather for maggots. A swab and some good 'dip properly di luted will make 'em crawl. Tankage is all right for hogs , pro vided it is fed with corn or other grain. It will not do to feed alone , be cause It contains too much protein. It's a 'big ' mistake to plow when the ground shows up slick and oozy , as it leaves the moldboard. Too wet , and that means clods and impairs the tex ture of the soil. The more men tamper with nature the more they complicate matters often Instead of effecting a solution. It has been found out that in spraying fruit trees , birds as well as insects are killed. Currant bushes should be hoed , which not only cleans out the weeds and grass , but renders the new growth snore vigorous. A shovelful of well- rotted manure , worked into the soil , will prove beneficial. The custom of loading farm wagons 60 that the heaviest weight is upon the front wheels is all wrong , and adds materially to the draft. The heaviest weight should be carried v the hind Wheels , This has been proved by of ficial and careful tests. In the mountain pastures of Scotland during heavy snowstorms flocks oi sheep are frequently burled out of eight. They are discovered by the sa gacious collie dogs and the shepherd proceeds to dig a hole through which they can escape. In selecting cantaloupes do not aim to secure a large size for family use. The best flavored and sweetest varie ties are the small kinds , and they are also the earliest Watermelons , how ever , should 'be large , as the larger the melon the less waste , while they are also fully equal In quality to the smaller kind. The last year's beet production in Kansas aggregated 70,000 tons. This is an increase of 715 per cent over the output of 1905 , which was previously the greatest. This is due to the erec tion at Garden City of one of the largest factories In the world , which contracted for and manufactured vir tually the whole ofthe State crop. I Peach trees will not bear forcing with stimulating manures , even in sandy soil , as such forcing will cause an overgrowth , and the fruit buds will drop off in the spring when the sap starts and the buds begin to swell. * Do not plant on ground rich enough to grow onions , or the trees will make late growth and produce unripe wood rhut may be winter killed. An ejcperiment < by a professor in dairying at the New York experiment station with a herd of ordinary dairy cows , showed , that they had consumed In one year $23.50 each and produced $25 of milk. The farmer had lost $3.50 on each cow in his herd in ad dition to his labor. A careful weeding mt according to the1 records kept made a difference the next year. Each cow consumed $28 of feed and produced $38 of milk. Muriate of potash is a product of the Stassfurt mines in Germany , and Its sale is controlled by a German yndlcte. Both acid phosphate and tankage are fine , dry meitls , In"erfect condition to be used in a fertilizer drill , and mixing them uoes not alter their condition. Muriate of potash re sembles common salt In appearance , except that it Is usually somewhat yel lowish in color. In Its commercial condition It is about half actual pot ash. ' Muskmelons produce their fruit at the axils of the first leaves of the lat eral runners and if the leading vines are allowed to run these laterals will not come out until the leaders have grown several feet. The leading vines should be pinched off at their tips as soon os they have made three or four leaves. And when the bearing vines' have made three or four leaves beyond the fruit pinch them off in the same v.-ay. In this simple way at least a week may be gained. Bees Faster Than Plseonw. It is not generally known that bees are swifter in flight than pigeons that is , for short distances. Some years ago a pigeon fancier at Hamme , West phalia , laid a wager that a dozen bees liberated three miles from their hives would reach ( home in less time than a dozen pigeons. TUie competitors were ( given wing at Rybern , a village nearly , a league from Hamme , and the first , ' ibee reached the hive a quarter of a minute in advance of the first plgeon. ( The bees were also slightly handicapp ed , having been rolled in flour before starting for purpose of Identification. Farm "Wood Lots. Throughout a very large portion ot the United States nearly every farm has a certain part of its area under wood , either planted , as in regions otherwise treeless , or of natural ( growth. The vjilue of this wooded portion - tion , besides affording protection from ) the wind , is chiefly for fuel , fencing and railroad ties , with some building material and the wood needed for spe cial uses about the farm. Without the wood lot the farm very often would be an unprofitable investment , because the farmer could not afford to buy the1 wood which now costs him very little- except the labor of cutting and moving 1 , but in the majority of cases this ] ' part of the farm is , ar less useful than' ; it might easily be made. This Is truej because the farmer does not study Itsj productive capacity as he does that of j his fields and pastures , and hence does ! ' not make it yield as fully as he might , with little or no additional labor , if he went about it in the right way. Gifford - ford PInchot. Composition of Whent Bran. In a Massachusetts State report notes are given on the composition , di gestibility and fertilizing ingredients of wheat bran , as compared with other concentrated feeding stuffs , and two feeding experiments with cows are re ported in a Massachusetts State re- pore by J. B. Lindsey. The- roughage in the two rations compared consisted of hay and sllag- and the grain feed of cotton-seed meal and flour middlings. To tbla TV-US add ed cither bran or silage with corn meal or corn-and-cob meal. In on.2 of tha experiments the results were slightly in favor of the bran ration , while In the other the so-called silage ration , gave the best results. The author concludes that for smail herds the quantity of purchased graLn may be reduced to three or four pounds In place of wheat bran. It Is suggest ed that the grain mixture may consist of one and one-half pounds of cotlon- seed meal , two pounds of flour mid dling and two and one-half to tliree pounds corn meal or corn-and-cob meal. Malt sprouts may be substituted for the wheat , oats or rye middlings. Where the feeding cannot be closely supervised and where It Is desired to feed more than five to seven pounds of grain dally , It is considered advisable that the grain mixtures should consist of one-third to one-half of wheat bran. Feedincr Ground Grain. The Wisconsin Experiment Station made an exhaustive test of feeding grain whole and ground. The following are the conclusions reached during- the test : When Corn Is There Is Saved Worth by Grinding 25 cents pr bushel 1.5 cents pr bushel 30 cents pr bushel 1.8 cents pr bushel 35 cents pr bushel 2.1 cents pr bushel 40 cents pr bushel 2.4 cents pr bushel 45 cents pr bushel 2.7 cents pr bushel 50 cents pr bushel 3.0 cents pr bushel 55 cents pr bushel 3.3 cents pr bushel The above table based upon ten years' experimenting shows that when corn is worth 20 cents per bushel grindIng - Ing effects a saving of 1.5 cents per bushel ; that when It is worth 30 cents per bushel grinding effects a saving of 1.8 cent per bushel and so on. In or der to determine whether It will be profitable to grind or not to grind all our readers have to do Is to ascertain whether a bushel of corn can be ground for the price mentioned In the second column showing the amount saved by grinding. If , for instance , a bushel of corn can be ground for 1.5 cent , and corn is worth 35 cents per bushel , a saving of .6 cent per bushel will be ef fected by grinding , while If corn is worth 40 cents per bushel a saving of 1.9 cent per bushel will be effected by grinding. There are other conditions that may enter Into the question of grinding. -s will eat more ground corn than shelled corn and consequently can be finished for the market In shorter time when ground corn is fed than when whole grain Is used. There are times when It Is very de sirable to get hogs ready for the mar ket as soon as possible on account of danger from disease , or because of de siring to get them out of the way at a certain time. Due consideration should also be given to factors of that kind in determining the question of grinding. TI UERED Overwhelming Proof that Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound Succeeds. One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkhain's Vegetable Com pound is the conquering-of woman's dread enemy Tumor , The growth of a tumor is so in sidious that frequently its presence is wholly unsuspected'until it is well advanced. So called "wandering pains" may come from its early stages or the presence of danger may be made manifest by excessive monthly periods accompanied by unusual pain , from the abdomen through the groin and thigh. If you have mysterious pains , if there'are indications of inflammation or displacements , secure a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound , made from native roots and herbs , right away and begin its use. The following letters should con vince every suffering woman of its virtue , and -that it actually does conquer tumors. Mrs. May Fry , of 830 WColfax Ave. , South Bend , Ind. , writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham : "I take great pleasure in writ ing to thank you for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I also took tne Blood Purifier in alternate doses with the Compound. Your medicine removed a cyst tumor of four years' growth , which three of the best physicians declared I had. They had said that only an operation could help me. I am very thankful that I followed a friend's advice and took your medicine. It has made me a strong and well woman and I shall recommend it as long as I live. " Mrs. E. F. Hayes , of 26 E-ugglesSt. , Boston , Mass. , writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham : "I have been under different doctors' treatment for a long time without relief. They told me I had a fibroid tumor , my abdomen was swollen and I suffered with great pain. I wrote to you for advice , you replied and I followed your directions carefully and today I am a well women. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ex pelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. " Mrs. Perry Byers , of Mt. Pleasant , Iowa , writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham : " 1 was told by my physician tnat I had a fibroid tumor and that I would have to be operated upon , I wrote to you for advice , which I followed care fully and took Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound. I am not only cured of the tumor but other female troubles and can do all my own work after eigh years of suffering. " Mrs. S. J. Barber , of Scott , N. Y. writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham : "Sometime ago I wrote you for advice about a tumor which the doctors thought would have to be removed. Instead I took Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound and to-day am a well woman. " Mrs. M. M. Funk , Vandergrift , Pa. , writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham : "I had a tumor and Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound removed it for me after two doctors had given me up. I was sick four years before I began to take the Compound. I novr recommend Lydia E Pinlcham's Veget able Compound far and near. " Such testimony as above is con vincing evidence that LydTa E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for Tumor Growths as well as other distressing ills of women , and such symptoms aa Bearing-down Sensations , Displace ments , Irregularities and" Backache , etc. Women should remember that it is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound that is curing so many women Don't forget to insist upon it when some druggist asks you to accept something else which he calls "just as good. " Mrs. Pinkham's invitation to Women. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to write Mrs. Pinkham , Lynn , Mass. , for advice. She is the Mrs. Pinkham who has been advising sick women free of charge for more than twenty years , and before that she assisted her mother-in-law , Lydia E. Pink- ham in ad vising. Thus she is especially well qualified to guide sick women back to health. W. L. DOUGLAS $3.OO & $3.5O SHOES flSi SHOES FOR EVERY MEMBER OF I W& THE FAMLY | , AT ALL PRICES.
