Summit, Lazell’s seedling, Ban- The Best Season of the Year to Treat Chronic Catarrh. Notwithstanding that a great number of people have been cured of chronic catarrh by taking Pe-ru na during the past cold season, yet it can not be denied that the cold, wet, stormy winter bas re- tarded many cures, and in some cases actually prevented a cure. But after unusual delay, spring tite has come at iast, and now is the time tor all ecatarrh sufferers to begin a systematic course of treatment for this disease. The greatest difficulty in the way of treating chronic catarrh is that the patient is so liable to catck cold during the treatment, and thus delay a cure. This liability at this season of the year is, in a great measure, removed, and no one should naglect the opportunity to begin treatment. Send for free catarrh book. As a spring medicine Pe-ru-na is a never-failing remedy. It cleanses the nick and Dakota red were the best | blood through digestion, and gives tone late sorts. Experiments show potash to be the most important substance in fertilizers used. it is not wortk the while 10 grow a crop of corn unless you intend to save the whole of it when the crop is ma- tured. Those who leave the fodder ex- posed in the fields during the winter | will not be satisfied with their profits | from corn. The grain is not the whole | of a corn crop. The best way to feed the whey that comes from the creamer:es is to use 1t | for moistening ground grain. If the! pigs are fed with whey aud grain, once | or twice a day, and also permitted to | have plenty of green clover, they will | grow rapidly, and produce pork ~ at as little cost as by any other method of feeding. Sheep will eat many plants that would uot be touched by cattle, and are capable of preventing the growth of many weeds if turned on a field for that purpose. It is not profitable to attempt to keep sheep by compelling them to seek their food from such sources, yet it will be found an advan- tage to use the sheep as weed destroy- ers, not over-looking the ration that should be provided for them at night, however. : Of squashes the Strickler and Bush ecallop were the best, summer kiuds, the American Turban for fall, and the Hubbard and Marblehead for winter. | Tomatoes were set June 7, the seed | having been sown March 24. The earliest was the first to ripen, on Au- gust 19, but small. Early Raby was i ready Augast 30 and Cumberland red | on August 28, both good, Iznotum and | perfection ripened August 27, and were | good. Ponderosa was the largest, but | ripened too late. There 1s one important matter con- nected with growing potatoes, and that is the freedom of the seed from dis- ease. The seed tubers will impart to |. the crop any disease with which they | may be atfected, and the most careful ! examination of the seed should be made before buying or planting. Ttis best to endeavor to procure seed from some section that is known to be ex- empt from potato disease, and theseed, when cut siiould be steeped for halt an hour in a solution made by dissolving a pound of binestone and & pound of
