Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh? -
Should a list of the ingredients of Pe-
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, of whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that the medicinal herbs com-
posing Peruna are of two kinds. First,
standard and well-tried catarrh reme-
dies. Second, well-known and gener-
ally acknowledged toniz remedies,
That in one or the other of these uses
they have stood the test of many years’
experience by physicians of different
schools. There can be nodispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed of
some of the most efficacious-and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca-
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
of the human system as require a tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
of Péruna has a reputation .of its own
in the cure of some phase of catarrh or
as a tonic medicine. Sn
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis-
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc-
tors over and over again, and been told
that their case is one of chronic catarrh.
It may be of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or some other internal organ.’
There is no doubt as-to the nature of .
the disease. The only. trouble is thie
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure
That doctor has tried to pre-
scribe for them.
No other household remedy so uni-
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.

Cementing a Cellar,
Several years ago I dug a cellar, put
in drain tile extending it across the
bottom of the cellar, then laid thin flat
rock for a floor, cementing over the
top with' Portland cement and sand;
but for some reason it never set well.
Recently I put concrete by tamping
-about one-inch sand then one and one-
.half inch one-sixth concrete well tamp--
ed down, then I reinforced this’ with
one-half sand and concrete mixed to
the consistency cf thin putty and
spread over the top about one ineh
thick and troweled down to make it
level. Now the floor is as hard as a
rock. Many old cellars might be ren-
ovated: in this way.—E. F. Isley, in
the Epitomist.
To Cuie White Scour.
When white scour makes its appear-
ance it will be found advisable to take
the affected calf cff milk at once, and,
after giving it one or two doses of cas-
tor oil or salts mixed with a little
warm, sweetened gruel, for thoroughly
clearing the stomach, follow on with a
mixture of beaten up eggs and port
wine, made by beating up two eggs
thoroughly shells and all, and mixing
them with a glass of port wine and
giving it to the calf about three times
a day. This will be found to sustain
the calf and counteract the acidity in
the stomach and will generally effect a
cure in two or three days. The calf
should not be allowed to have any milk
until all the symptoms of scour have
disappeared.—Weekly Witness,
A Great Combination,

mony. They supplement each other
perfectly, and the orchard gan be
planned to be the main thing in the
future or permitted to remain always
in second place, according to one’s pre-
dilections. Poultry, besides being
money makers, are to the orchardist
money savers. They are of great value
inasmuch as they destroy myriads of
insect enemies, many before they are
born into their fruit destroying stage
of development. ‘they are death on
borers; hence are time savers, for
borers let go for man only by strong
persuasion. They furnish much fertil-
izingt material and keep down weed
growth. They eat fruit falling from
insect attack and destrey the pests.
Therefore frcm every point of view
fruit and poultry is a great combina-
tion.—H, B. Fullérton, in the Weekly
Witness.
Cut Out the Drones.
There is much talk about the cow
that doesn’t earn her board—how about
the hen? No one can make a mistake
in culling out the fowls which have
passed their prime; oid hens do not
lay so well nor old roosters insure so
good fertility as younger ones.
The fewer drones that are kept in
a flock the more profitable it is. Right
now is the time to get busy and weed
them out. Sell all the old*hens that
are more than three years of age unless
they are especially valuable for some
reason or other. Keep no more of the
old male birds than necessary and get
the others out of the way as soon as
possible. Dispose of the young cock-
erels as fast as they attain a market-
able size; more money in them at that
age than later; don’t keep more than
just a few of the best fof your own
use as breeders. :
Old hens that are thin in flesh should
be cooped and fed heavily (principally
on corn) for a week or ten days and
they will bring enough more money to
make your labor and feed expénded
profitable. Keep the best of your pul-
lets, especially those that were early-
hatched, and you can well afford to
weed out the old ones, as the pullets
will be better winter layers.—Epitom-
ist. ;
A Word for ths Hog.
If hogs are to thrive in pasture shade
should be provided. Some farmers cut
away every vistage of shade. The hog
loves a cool damp shade where he can
lie and snooze during the heat of the
day. If left in a pasture with ng shade
hé will suffer. Experience of prom-
inent breeders shows, however, that a
mud wallow is by no means necessary.
If the hog cannot have a clean bath, no
bath is preferable, but as she is a child
of the soil she should have cool moist
ground to lie upon.
It should be added that pure water
is as essential for the hog as it is for
any other animal, if he is to be kept in
good health. More of swine disease
has been traced to impure water than
to any other cause.
A reader of the Indiana
writes that he had sows that would
persist in eating their pigs till he be-
gan occasionally giving hn a piece of
fat salt pork, and after giving them
that a few times their appetite seem-
ed {o be cured, and they gave him no
more trouble. He says that for Soyo!

gives them a piece of salty side meat
for two or three days, and this ends
the matter. : ;
Another reader says that he feeds
his hogs sows and all, as near a bal-
anced ration as he can, such as cut
clover, or alfalfa, or some linseed oil
meal, along with their corn and he has
never had this pig-eating trouble in his
herd. There is no doubt that there
is something lacking in the feed that
causes the desire, and a balanced ra-
tion would meet the demand, as it
would keep them in good healthy con-
dition.
{
Shallow Cultivation.
Well informed men tell us it takes
a great amount of moisture to produce
a corn crop, much greater than would
be imagined. The greater portion of
‘the corn-growing era, is dependent up-
on the rainfall for this moisture; there-
fore, we must find some other means
of retaining it in the soil, within reach
of the growing crop. Sunshine and
wind scon cause the moisture to pass
from the soil directly into the atmos-
phere, so we must find some method of
lessening this rapid evaporation. As
the moisture near the surface evapor-
ates, it is replaced by moisture drawn
from greater depths by capillary attrac-
tion.
By thoroughly pulverizing the sur-
face soil the soil particles are -disar-
‘ranged and the capillary tubes are not
continuous, ‘therefore the surface soil
becomes quite dry and acts as a mulch,
checking the evaporation and holding
the moisture beneath, within reach of
the plant roots. .
During the ‘first cultivation” and
while the corn is very small, we use
narrow shovels, and fenders, and us-
ually plow deep, loosening the soil to a
good depth. Our idea in plowing deep
at the “first cultivation” is to get a
good loose soil mulch for retaining
moisture. There are very few ocga-
sions when deep plowing is preferable
after the “first cultivation,” but if ex-
cessive rains have packed the soil
deep cultivation will help dry it—amd
when packed very tight, we sometimes
find it necessary to piow deep, in or-
der to get a perfect soil mulch. After a
perfect soil mulch has been produced
frequent cultivation is not necessary,
unless rain should crust the ground,
and in that case the crust should be
broken and the soil mulch restored, in
order to hold the moisture beneath,
where it is used by the “feeding roots”
of the young plants. Of course it is
necessary to cultivate often enough to
keep down the weeds, even though the
ground does not need stirring.
If the ground is allowed to become
hard and baked, after a rain, the cul-
tivator will break up great clods, which
will allow the air to penetrate the
ground to a greater depth, causing rap-
id evdporation; taking the moisture
from the “feeding roots’’ of the grow-
ing plants.—W. S. Chansler in the In-
diana Farmer.
Notes of the Farm.
It is all right to have all the eggs
in one basket if it is a good basket
and you have the strength and skill to
handle it.
Grease tools and implements, to stop
their rusting. It will save money and
make them easier to work with when
they are needed again.
Have pure air in the dairy buildings
and plenty of it. The blood of the
cow is purified in the lungs and it
takes good dir to do that well.
The turf formed by a pasture land
of native grasses makes an ideal grass
for all kinds of poultry, old and young.
See that they have shade in summer
time.
Orchards will not make happy own-
ers if the trees stand in poorly drained
soil. The old saying that “fruit trees
cannot stand wet feet” tells the whole
story.
Do not neglect to plow the garden
during the winter to Kill undesirable
worms that may be in the soil and to
make the plant food more available for
the next crop.
Produce and use wisely as much
barnyard manure as practical, and then
use green manures as necessary. Get
the soil so rich that little work will
make a big harvest.
Hens that are overfed, confined, or} ..
do not get sufficient exercise, are apt
to get in the habit of pulling feathers
or eating eggs. These habits are hard
to cure, but easy to prevent if com-
mon sense niethods of management are
employed.
Longevity and Blindness.
Blindness, though counted among
he most pitiable of human afflictions
is evidently conducive to longevity.
According to a report by Oscar
Kuestermann, superintendent of the
Wisconsin Workshop“ for the Blind,
four out of 250 persons received at
the shops during the last year are
more than 100 years old; fifteen men
and four women are mgre than 90
years old; ferty-two persons have at-
tained an age between 80 and 99
years.
Every one of these aged blind per-
sons is earning his own living and is
entirely self-supporting. Those more
than 100 years of age are in full pos-
session of their faculties and are
daily turning out baskets and other
forms of willowware.—Miiwaukee
Sentinel.
FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
DUN’'S WEEKLY SUMMARY
General Trade Is Fair, Although Col-
lections Are Still Reported
as Backward.
New York.—R. G. Dun & Company’s
“Weekly Review of Trade” says:
“Reports of trade continue irregular,
with pronounced gains in some sec-
tions and no improvement in others,
the net result being encouraging,
however, and sentiment regarding the
future ‘grows mere - confident each
week.
“Steel demand is steadily broaden-
ing, each. week bringing a larger per-
centage -of active: capacity; and the
improvement is especially gratifying
in. view of the few orders from the
railways.” Export contracts are re-
corded in every department of tie in:
dustry, from pig iron to steel rails.
“Sales of pig iron are made for de-
livery during the first half of next
year, and some coke ovens have also
received orders covering the same
period, while there is a larger move-
ment of ore down the lakes. The
lighter lines of steel continue most
actively engaged, notabiy wire. pro-
ducts, pipe and plates.
“Textile markets have been dom-
inated this week by the second big
auction sale, buyers either devoting
attention to seeking bargains there or
awaiting the effect on the general
market. Reports from visiting job-
bers indicate low stocks of goods,
but abundant supplies in other lines.
which makes the outlook uncertain.
Prices are almost nominal in conse-
quence, except on cash transactions
for current needs, which are necessar-
ily limited. Many cotton mills will
be idle next week pending a more
definfte tendency in the market. As
to woolen goods, the market for men’s
wear is now fully opened, the feature
of the past week being the offering of
fancy worsteds.
“For the first time this year, ship-
ments of boots and shoes from Bos-
ton were almost as large as in the
corresponding week of 1907.”

QUEER THIRST SATISFIERS.
in the
Desert.
All devices for alluying the discom-
fort arising from the dryness of the mu-
cous membrances, such as carrying
bullets or pebbles in the mouth,
chewing grass or a p:ece of rubber, are 4
wholly futile in meeting the serious
thirst problem, says The Outing Mag-
azine. The relative humidity often
falls to 5 percent in the Southwestern
deserts, and in a temperature of over
100 degrees, the evaporation from.a ves-
sel of water standing in the open may
be as much as an inch a day. The
amount thrown off by the skin is cor-
respondingly great, and if the loss is
not made good thirst ensues, and 10
hours’ lack of water may thicken the
tongue so that speech is impossible.
The Indian and the desert traveler
often seek relief in the juices of plants
when water fails. The fruits of some
of the prickly pears are slightly juicy;
the fronds of the same plant, or the
great trunks of the saguaro, contain
much sap, but for the most part it is
bitter, and, while it would save life
in extremity, yet it is very unpleasant
to use. The barrel cactus, or bisnago
(Echino-cactus), however, contains
within its spiny cylinders a fair ‘sub-
stitute for good water. To get at this
juice one must be armed with a stout
knife, or an ax, with which to de-
capitate the plant, which is done by
cutting away a section from the top.
Next a green stake is obtained from
some shrub or tree that is free from
bitter substances, and with this or
with the ax the white pitch of the in-
terior is pounded to a pulp and a cav-
ity that would hold two gallons is
formed. Squeezing the pulp between
the hands into the cavity will give
from three to six pints of a drinkable
liquid that is far from unpleasant, and
is generally a few .degrees cooler than
the air. Scouting Indians have long
used the bisnaga to save carrying a
heavy supply of water, and a drink
may be obtained in this manner by a
skilled operator in flve to ten min-
utes.
Fuel Oil in Italy.
The Italian state government, or at
least the powers in charge of the Ital-
ian state railways, must have some
confidence in the comparative perman-
ence of the fuel oil supply. It is
stated that during the fiscal year of
1906-1907 the cost of coal on the Ital-
ian railways was so excessive as to
attract special attention and amount-
ed to 17 cents per train mile, as
against a cost in France for a similar
distance of 10 cents. The Italian gov-
ernment has granted a special reduc-
tion on duties on mineral oils for
the use of the state railways and the
railway management has now decided
to use fuel oil at least on some of
the mountain lines with long tun-
nels where the cost of the fuel oil
hitherto has seemingly made such use
prchibitive. The concession in duties
now made will lead to the gradual
adoption of fuel oil and it is thought
that when the oil can be impbrted
into the country in tank steamers, its
use, at least for railway purposes will
become far more general.—Louisiana
