MAYOR OF SUNBURY Says Pe-ru-na Is a Good Medicine. Hon. C. C. Brooks, Mayor of Sunbury, Ohio, also Attorney for Farmers’ Bank and Sunbury Building and Loan Co, writes: “1 have the utmost confidence in the virtue of Peruna. It is a great medicine. 1 have used it and I have known many of my friends who have obtained bene- ficial results from its use. I cannot praise Peruna too highly. HON. C. C. BROOKS. “HERE are a host of petty ailments T which are the direct result of the weather. This is more true of the excessive heat of summer and the intense cold of win- | ter, but is partly true of all seasons of the year. Whether it be a cold or a cough, catarrh of the head or bowel comp laint, ‘whether the liver be affected or the kidneys, the cause is very liable to be the same. The weather slightly deringes the mu- cous membranes of the organs and the re- sult is some functional disease. Peruna has become a standby in thousands of homes for minor ail- ments of this sort.

From the siesmic records it appears that in the thirteen years from 1892 to 1904, inclusive, there were 750 “world shaking’’ earthquakes, an average of 58 a year, or a little more than one a week. When a ‘‘metecoro- logist,”” therefore sets a date for one and gets credit for hitting it when he is three days off, he would seem to be drawing large dividends of fame on an exceedingly small investment of merit. —Chicago Tribune. > > . 20 6254202625404 504%!

FARM and CROPS £8 SUGGESTIONS FOR THE UP-TO-DATE AGRICULTURIST Take Care of Your Grindstone. Before sharpening tools on a grind- stone, clean off all rust and grease, as grease chokes up the grit. Keep the stone perfectly round by razeeing it off when necessary. Do not leave the stone standing in the sun, as this hard- ens it, nor leave the bottom in water, as this tends to soften it. Two Kinds of Farmers. There are two kinds of farmers in every neighborhood. One kind really farms the soil in such a manner that it will not wear out, and the other farms as a beggar begs. The latter wants to get all he can. from the soil without putting anything back. Such men are miners, for they seem to think the sup- ply of fertility was placed there just like the supply -of Wisconsin Farmer. coal. Crop Rotation. The South Dakota a: sricaltiral col- lege has issued a Folie on crop rota- tion, ‘based upon experiments extending over a period of nine years, some of the more important conclusions deriv- ed from the results of the work being done being the fact that the greatest average wheat yields were gotten when that crop followed either corn or po- tatoes. After these crops, in order of their relative worth in preparation for wheat crops, are summer fallow, millet, vetch, peas, wheat and oats. At the end of an eight year period land on alternated, ! grain and straw, than where wheat has been grown alternate- ly with vetch and summer fallow. It is of a decided advantage to manure land for corn. The benefit of this fer- tilizer extends to other crops in ro- tation for at least four years. Rota- tions give best returns which include some perennial grass in which the land had been given over to sod for venrs Brome grass is well adavtal to the requirement of short ro- tation. inci both Soy Beans for Hogs. The soy bean contains a great deal of protein, and it can be grown cheaply. A test of its feeding value was re- cently made at the Wisconsin Experi- ment Station, and it was found that soy bean meal was really more valuable than wheat middlings for feeding hogs. A bulletin giving the results of the ex- periment says that sey beans make an excellent suplement to cornmeal for growing and fattening pigs They are a little over 10 percent more valuable than wheat middlings for economical pork production. When mixed with cornmeal in the. proportion of one to two, soy beans produced greater and more economical gains than wheat middlings and corn- meal, when fed in the same proportion. In feeding equal emounts of the two rations, the soy beans and corn meal supply a slightly higher percent of dry matter and digestible matter than the wheat middlings and cornmeal, which is on*item of economy. For firmness. fine grain and texture of flesh, and even distribution of fat and lean a raticn of wheat middlings and cornmeal seems to be superior to that of soy beans and cornmeal. Great Demand for Ewes. Never in the history of the sheep business at Chicazo has the demand for breeding ewes been as strong as this year and never before were so many shipped out. Buyers who are not able to get as many as they wanted here have gone to the range country and bought them direct from the ranchmen. Under the pressure of such a keen de- mand values have advanced very moticeably and stand at a remarkably high level. That fact is not a dis- couraging feature, however, for a good ewe at present prices produces a lamb equal to her own value and will yield enouzh wool to pay for her keep. On this basis ewes are a good investment and many people are beginning to rec- ognize it. The fact that more ewes are being bought by the farmer in the conr belt does not signify that there will be a surplus of sheep raised for the more they buy the more the crop on the range is cut down. It is just a matter of transferring ownership. With the range crop being marketed closer than usual and the demand for mutton increasing, the probabilities are that prices will be as high next year as they are now.—Chicago Live Stock World. Leghorns vs Mongrels. A recent report of the West Vir- ginia Experiment station on tests be- tween Leghorns and a mongrel flock gave these results: Fifty white Leghorns were compared with fifty mongrels fer one year as to cost of food and egg production, ordin- ary care and attention being given th m such as they would receive on the average farm. In addition to skim milk, used to moisten the mash the Leghorns consumed 61 pounds of food, costing 85.3 cents; and the mongrels consumed (6.8 pounds of the same materials, costing 92.1 cents. During the year the Leghorns laid 116.5 eggs worth $2.24 per hen; and the mongrels 96.1 eggs, worth $1.78 per hen. The Leghorns gave a profit over the cost of food of $1.39 and the mongrels a profit of 86 cents. The mongrels gained in weight one pound per head more than the Leghorns. If this increase in weight is taken into consideration, then the Leghorns gave a profit of 40 cents per hen more than the mongrels. The highest prices for fresh eggs usually prevail during the months of November, December, January and Feb- ruary. During these four months the mongrels laid only eggs and the Leghorns 1029, nearly three times many.—The Circle. 204 364 as Dehorning Cattle. Editers Indiana Farmer: The easiest way to dehorn cattle is to get a stick of caustic and rub the incipient horns when the calf is a few days old. This if properly aplied will effectually stop the growth. If In spite of the first rubbing the young horn seems to make its appearance rub thoroughly, very ciose at its base, but be‘careful not to get the caustic on the fiesh or skin of calves, as it is very corrosive. ‘Do not apply too freely at first.” I have seen calves neariy bleed to “death from its” application: This was because too much was used and it ate in deeply and the horn was tender and did not need so much. We stop- ped the bleeding -by sprinkling flour on it steadily, as fast as the blood gushed through. It took some time but proved effectual in the end. It is better not to use too much and there is no danger if carefully applied by a man of judgment instead of a boy with lit- tle discretion. We have dehorned hun- dreds I suppose. The dehorning cf cattle whose horns have grown is another matter, and they must be sawed off close to the head. This seems brutal. It can be done by tying the animal securely and having a hand steady and true to do the saw- ing. - We have dehorned a good num- ber this way and never lost one from bleeding or any other cause. But the best way is never to let the horns grow. I have never noticed that the dehorn- ed cattle grow larger or better, but there is no goring each other and this in shipping is quite an item, then aizain if there are no horns, they can- not get in the way in filling a car. The horns make inadvertent crowding and pushing dangerous. As for the matter of a cow defend- ing her young from attacks of wolves or other animals, she can make a pretty good defense with her horn- less head. Some even think a cow without horns more formidable than one with them. : In this section all cattle are dehorn- ed, and if the herd boy observes the advent of new calves it is but a few moments work to get the bottle with its stick of caustic, rub the place where horns would grow therewith, and the work is done with a minimum of pain and almost no outlay of time or expense. R. 8S M. South Dakota. Farm Brevities. Sheep have come to be about the best property in the live stock line: The experience crop will be large, but not all of it will be well cured. Can’t you get a lot of fertility some- where and put it in the farm savings bank? If the teeth are bad, feed finely ground meal and the best clover after- math, .or early cut clover. Lamb or mutton is one of the most wholesome of meats and is most eco- nomical for the farmer’s use. A. moderate ration of beets, four to five pounds per head, daily, is condu- cive to the healthfulness of the flock and improves the quality of the mut- ton. The most prolific flock is one where no ewes are kept that are over eight years old, unless there may be some wonderfully prolific ewes and some that are extra good. Don’t be afraid the world will not ap- preciate you if you stay on the farm. Your difficulty will be not a chance to use ycur ability, but rather to find ability to use your chances. To watch the growth of a good, flourishing crop or thrifty animal is the true farmer’s most solid pleasure, while the man who grows poor prod- ucts gets neither pleasure nor profit. You cannot tell how a new idea may work until you see it tried in circum- stances like your own. Don't swallow it too quickly; but don’t howl it down just because it seems queer at first thought. It -used to be held that cottonseed meal was poisonous to hogs. Experi- ments have lately been made in several states which show that this is not true. While as yet declining to give it a hearty endorsement, the experts recommend its use under certain con- ditions. How few young men plan out their farm as if they expected to live on it a lifetime. No far-reaching improve- ments no steady increase of fertility, no new orchards, no solid repairs of buildings, no permanent fences, no scheme for grading up the stocks, no lawn shade trees, shrubbery and fruit to make the farm attractive. Nothing at all, in fact, but what a tenant would do who hired the farm by the year. Look ahead, young man.—Boston Cul- tivator. A WIFE'S COMPROMISE. He Was Faithful, But He Bored Her —Gave Him One Chance. Callington married his wife purely from motives of prudential considera- tion. She was rich and he was poor. “It is mot,” said Callington, reason- ing with himself, “that I wish neces: sarily to spend her money. But mere: ly that I desire to relieve myself from the stress and strain of modern competition. I am by nature a gentle- man. I have good manners, good breeding, tact and gentleness of dis- position. But to succeed I must be unduly aggressive, unpleasantly dis- honest and disgustingly selfish. It grates upon me to feel that so many disagreeable traits, of which at pres- ent I possess only the quiescent rudi- ments, would have to be developed within me. Is it not better, therefore, that I should obey highest instincts and ally myself with one who must always respect my qualities of mind and heart rather than to waste my talents upon mere vuigar acquisition?” At the end of six montis Mrs. Cal lington that he go ~ into some business. “Thank you, darling, for the suggestion,” said Callington, “but we are at present amply able to live within your income. We see a great deal more of each other’ now than if I were regularly employed, and we shall never pass this way to gether again. Besides, should I go into business, I might be drawn into some of your money—and lose it. Even the remotest chance of such a possibility would better be avoid- ed.” : At the end of another six months Mrs. Callington suggested that he take charge of her affairs, his admirable wisdom being strongly in evidence with her. suggested using “On the contrary, pet,” said Calling- ton, “it is better that you should do it all. I would be “only fooling - with something with which I am not fa- miliar, and should disaster result I would naturally be blamed for it. You are splendidly fitted for it, and, besides, it gives you something to do.” 3 At the end of Mrs. Callington suggested two or three clubs, learn and drink, play bridge and and sit up nights. *You are a dear another six months that he join to smoke billiards girl to grant me all this freedom,” said Callington. “But I am a home hody.
