Miss Rose Cullen, President Young Woman's Club, of Butte, Mont, writes from 921 Galena street, as follows: "Peruna has many Mends In Butte I cannot say too much In praise of it While finishing school I became very nervous and exhausted from over-study. I was weak and sick, and could neither eat, sleep nor enjoy life. A couple of bottles of Peruna put new life in me.

Beside, I was so tired all the time. My face was spotted and I was very thin. I took one bottle of Pe runa and was soon real well. When I feel tired and all run down I take Peruna and feel all right before I fin ish one bottle. I know it is a won derful medicine, and both myself and husband praise Peruna. "There has been a great deal of sickness through this part of the coun try, but, thanks to Peruna. which we use freely, our own family has escaped With almost no sickness at all.

She weighed about 190 pounds when she was in good health. When she commenced with our family physician in April, 1898, she weighed about 130, but kept going down all the time. She went to Atlanta, Ga., and took treatment, but it did her no good. Then she went to Harmony Grove, Ga., and took treatment from the best phy sician there for three months. She kept going down under his treatment. although he was considered the best physician in the county. She went down from 130 pounds to 63, and we saw she could not live long. She was a skeleton. We consulted an old phy sician who told her to use Peruna. Sho gradually improved and got stronger. She has gained 38 pounds since she has taken Peruna, and Is gaining ev ery day, and docs her own housework. "She was well known when she was so low, and now everybody wants to know what cured her.

In a book written by Professor Waugh, en plum culture, he prints a tetter received by him from D. M. Adams, of Sumner county, Kansas, on the sand plum. We believe it will be interesting to our readers and "so re produce it here: "This plum grows wild in this coun try along the Arkansas river. The best patch of wild ones I have seen was on the bank of the Arkansas 'at the mouth of Slate Creek, a few miles above Gueda Springs. There was about forty acres in the patch that had been left in its natural state. The ground looked like a barren sand bank. There was no grass or weeds or ether shrubbery, except a few wild grape vines. It was a hot day in August. The sand was so hot that the boys could not walk over it in their bare feet The bushes grew down to high water mark in the river. Most of the hills were about ten feet above the level of the river. The person that owned the land sold the fruit and let us pick it They watched and had it picked clean as they went It was about the middle of August They had been picking for a month and thought there would be plums there for- an other month. The bushes were from three to six feet high. The plums were brown, the size of a May cherry, the size of a Damson plum. Some were a bright scarlet, the color of a cherry; others were a bright yellow or amber color. Where they had not been pick- i tho htishpfl were bending to the ground with their load of fruit The fruit was so thick as almost to hide the leaves. It was the grandest sight in the fruit line that I ever saw. They looked like a large flower garden at a short distance. .We cultivate them in our yards and gardens. All you have to do is to set out a few bushes. Soon they will spread until they make a thicket that one cannot walk through. When they are in bloom they look like a bank of snow. They begin to ripen at about the same time as wheat, and continue to ripen for six weeks to two months. They do not all ripen en the same bush at once. There will be ripe ones and others perfectly green on the same limb at the same time. They are one of the best fruits for cooking that grow. We have a patch of four or five square rods. It gives us all we want while they are going, and then we have a supply for canning. Here is one ot the most valuable fruits. Some of the small-sized plums have a bitter taste, still are very juicy and acid. I do not know how they will succeed further north. Since I have been here I have sent several lots of seeds and roots to different parties in different states, but have never re ceived reports from any of them. I sent a lot of seed to a nurseryman in Indiana. He advertised them in his catalogue as Kansas dwarf plums." Is the Rubin a Friend or Foe? An Illinois professor, who has made a study of birds and bird-life, says: Gardeners have long looked on the robin with suspicion; Its abundance, its size, its boldness in entering our gardens and orchards, render him quite a factor for the weal or woe of the fruit grower; so it has received an un usual share of attention from Inves tigators. Even when the snows of winter linger late the robins come at their appointed time and content them selves with last year's sumach or wild grapes. Once the lawns are clear they descend to them and subsist chiefly on fly larvae, of hese 175 have been counted in a single stomach. As the season advances the diet is more var ied, larvae of many kinds, beetles, grasshoppers and other ground In sects receiving attention. During March twenty per cent of their food is cutworms; In April beetles are often in the majority; but up to the end of May, ninety-five per cent of their food is Insects. Then comes a change. During June I use figures compiled for our own state fifty-five per cent is fruit, In July this figure rises to 6eventy-nine per cent, in August it Is fifty-six but more than half of this Is wild cherries. For the balance of the year fruit predominates, wild grapes being most favored but forty-one dif ferent kinds of wild berries have been found In the stomachs. For the whole year sixty-five per cent of the food Is Insects, twenty-five domestic and ten per cent wild fruit Of the Insects we find that forty-three per cent are In jurious and thirty-six per cent bene ficial species, while twenty-one per cent are neutral. The question be comes very complicated for we would not only have to know the value of the fruit, but the damage done by the Injurious species, including those that would have been destroyed by the ben eficial species, and other details, all reduced to dollars and cents. It is evi dent we cannot enter on this sub ject here, but It has been worked out thoroughly and carefully elsewhere, and in concluding an exhaustive paper on the subject Professor Forbes says: T, for my part do not believe that the horticulturist can sell his small fruits anywhere in the ordinary markets of the world at so high a price as to the robin, provided he uses diligence that the little huckster does not overreach him In the bargain." An Appeal to Breeders. The committee representing Poland Chinas, composed of R. D. Burnham, H. M. Kirkpatrick and Frank D. Winn, makes an appeal to the Poland-China breeders throughout the United States for help in making the Kansas City show the great success it promises to be with the support of the liberal spirited breeders of the United States. The condition of the Poland-China breed in this show is most unfortunate In having no association or Record Company behind it When the Kansas City Stock Yards Company offered $500 to each breed on condition that this amount be duplicated by each breed, the Berkshire and Duroc Jersey Record Associations made the guaran tee, while the $500 of the Poland Chinas had to be guaranteed imme diately by the three members of the committee. The committee wishes it to be distinctly understood that an the work they are doing in condition with this show is entirely gratis and that in addition to this the current expenses which have to be met are being taken-care of personally and will-have to be until after the show and besides this, each of the three members have made a liberal sub scription, to the special prize fund. It would not be fair to even think that the breeders of the country who will derive as much good from and who should be as much Interested in this show as the committeemen, will refuse to aid this great undertaking. The $2,500 to be raised for the state fair list Is abont all provided for and a good portion of the 12,500 for spe cials to be raised by the breeders has already been pledged, but there is yet considerable to be raised which can be done easily by a little help from each. vIt is not expected that breeders living at a distance will give a large amount, but they can afford to give something and the committee wants it understood that anything, offered will be gratefully accepted. If you do not feel able to give 25, give $10 and If not $10 then give $1. There are thou sands of Pcland-China breeders, and even $1 from each would more than raise the money, although there are few breeders who could not afford to give at least $5. The subscription blanks are now being sent out and it is to be hoped that no breeder will re turn same without something filled in. The Record Companies have prac tically refused to take an interest in the show, the state fairs have cut the premium list down on hog3 until no exhibitor can win enough money to pay expenses and it is due to the three members of the committee who are working untiringly to make this show a grand success and when the sub scription blanks are sent around that a donation of seme kind be made. This is a breeders' show and nobody but the breeders will be benefited and each should see that he does his part There is a friendly rivalry between the two breeds as to who will make the best show and have the most attractive premium list Will the representatives of the great breed of Poland-Chinas stand still and see their favorite out done? Consider this when filling out your subscription blank, is the earn est request of the management The Sweat Potato. The sweet potato is coming to te recognized as one of the most im portant products of our soil. The in terest in it as an article of food for botu man and beast is steadily In creasing. Not many years ago north ern people had sweet potatoes on their tables only during the short fall sea son, lasting from the time when sweet potatoes were mature enough to dig, to perhaps the end of November. Now, on account of the more scientific ways of handling, transplanting and storing them they are on our tables during a large portion of the winter. Canning them has also become a practice. New ways of keeping and utilizing them are being tried. They are being dried and some are being ground up into sweet potato flour. It is said that the sweet potato thrives only in a warm climate, but what that means depends on the un derstanding of the word warm. It may be said that the sweet potato thrives only where the temperature during its time of growth does not fall below 45 degrees. On this point a government bulletin says: "On soils suited to the sweet potato it may be grown wherever the large dent varieties of maize reach maturity, but when grown near its northern limit or at high altitudes it generally lacks sweetness and flavor. This loss of quality must be attrib uted to the cool nights, which are like ly to prevail in high latitudes, and at considerable elevations in lower lati tudes during the latter part of the growing season, a condition that does not admit of the growing of sweet po tatoes in a large way." Then follows tbe suggestion that in high latitudes farmers may grow sweet potatoes by starting them in pots and afterward transplanting them into the open ground after the danger of frosts is past For profitable general field cul ture the sweet potato requires at least four months of warm weather, free, not only from frost, but also from cold winds and from the cool nights that prevail In summer at the north and at high altitudes everywhere. Sweet po tatoes do not suffer as quickly as Irish potatoes from drouth, but are injured by excessive rainfall and overlrriga- tion. In a suitable climate and with good cultivation the sweet potato will thrive on any well-drained soil. Nevertheless, it should not be planted on heavy or peaty soils unless intended for stock feeding. It Is not always practicable to harvest the crop when the ground is dry, and such soils, unless they are very dry, adhere to the tubers and so detract from their value. Moreover, the quality of sweet potatoes grown on these soils is always relatively low. The best soil for the sweet potato is a light, well-drained, but not leachy sandy loam that will not adhere to the potatoes. If the best quality is desired, soils which have an excess of organic matter should be avoided. Hortlealtnral Items. According to a man who is said to be the biggest dealer in palms in New York, aoove 6,000,000 of them were dis tributed throughout the country for church use on the Sunday previous to Easter day. From Dalmatia has come a peren nial cabbage, which forms the princi pal food of hundreds of families In Dalmatia. It grows to a height of five feet and bears tender leaves through out the winter. These are picked sing ly or the whole head is cut and the stems sprout again. It stands in the fields for three or four years. A table, published in the annual re port of the department of agriculture, is enlightening as to the amount of money the people of the United States spent in purchasing favorite flowers at retail in 1899 roses, $6,000,000; car nations, $4,000,000; violets, $750,000; chrysanthemums, $500,000; miscel laneous, Including lilies, $1,250,000. These vast sums found their way Into the pockets of nearly 100,000 producers and retailers. Cleveland has a home gardening as sociation which encourages children to cultivate flowers at home. Last spring the association distributed to children 50,000 penny packages of flower seeds, accompanied with printed, instructions how to prepare the soil, plant and water. The teachers supplemented these instructions by talks. In the fall exhibitions were held in many schools, which revealed the fact that about 75 per cent of the efforts of the children were successful. Foot-aad-Moath Disease la UrajEaay. Consul Swalm of Montevideo says it Is officially reported that the foot-and-mouth cattle disease has disap peared in all of the departments, of the Republic and that the herds are in the very finest condition. In several of the departments the losses from this dis ease were very heavy, but generally the percentage of deaths fell below 3 per cent Save only thoroughbred or breeding stock, adds Mr. Swalm, the herds of Uruguay never know the com forts of a shelter, but as snow or frost or sleet is very rare the exposure sel dom results seriously. He continues- The tick is more feared than anything else, and where both the tick and the foot-and-mouth disease are prevalent' the skinning knife is the only remedy' applied. i The stock of California raisins is so' large that growers talk of building a distillery to absorb tbe yearly surplus hereafter. The Spartan Japs. The Japanese are a Spartan race. "Many things besides their resistance to cold prove it. The most of them live in simplicity. They can go a long time without food. The coolies per form marvelous feats of strength and endurance; they draw a "jlnrikiaha" all day or carry travelers over the steepest mountains. Every summer a colony of foreigners go to Mount Hel Eizan, near Kioto. Their camp is sev eral miles up the steep mountain side, but early each morning the Japanese bring up the mail, fresh vegetables and milk, and women often carry trunks to the, summit "on their heads. A Schobrec Manuscript Found. An interesting original manuscript work by Franz Schubert was discov ered recently in Vienna among the property of a rich and eccentric man named Wyssiak, an official of the court of justice, who died recently. It is the long-sought-for composition in D flat for two' violins, viola and violincello. This work is dated in March, 1844, and was recognized as genuine some years ago by Schubert's step-brother. Today the same verdict is given by several specialists well acquainted with Schu bert's music. The discovery has caused a great sensation in Viennese musical circles. LWln? Pictures for the Illiad.

Dunaway, M. D., of this place, in an open letter, makes the following startling state ment: "I had Diabetes with all its worst symptoms. I applied every remedy known to the profession, as well as every prescription suggested in our books. In spite of all, I was dying, and I knew it "As a last resort, and with scarce ly any faith whatever, I commenced taking Dodd's Kidney Pills. In one week I saw a great improvement. After I had taken five boxes, I was sound and well. This i3 ten months ago, and I have not taken any medicine of any kind since, and am convinced that my cure is a permanent one. "As a practicing physician with years of experience, I most positively assert that Dodd's Kidney Pills arc the best medicine in the world today, for Diabetes or any other Kidney Disease. Since using them myself, I have used them in many cases in my practice, and 'they have never failed. "I am making this statement as a professional man, after having made a most thorough test of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and because I feel it my duty to the public and to my professional brethren. The truth can never hurt anyone, and what I have said is the absolute truth." R. H. DUNAWAY, M. D. It is no wonder that the public are enthusiastic over this new medicine, when our leading physicians them selves, are being won over to its use. Tolstoi's Copj Well Revised.

The AsslBlboia dis trict is one of the best The writer from whose letter we quote goes on to say: "John, if you miss this chance you are foolish, for you can get out cheap er when there' are so many coming, and I would not tell you to come if I thought you could not do well, and if you don't come in the spring you will have to go away back, for you do not want to think that there is no one living out here but us. I saw nicer buildings out hero than I ever saw before, and if the country was no good what would they want them for? John, if you sold everything you have and came out here you would be worth more than ever you were before, and if you can bring your team. You can get anything you want on tick, and when they do that with strangers they are not afraid they can't make enough to pay for it.
