WHAT IS PE-RU-NA?
Is It a Catarrh Remedy, or a
Tonic, or is it Both?
Some people call Pernna a great
tonic Others refer to Peruna as a
great catarrh remedy.
Whioh of these people are right!
b it more proper to call Peruna a ca
tarrh remedy than to call it a tonlof
Oar reply is, that Pernna is both a
tonio and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can he no effectual catarrh rem
edy that is not also a tonio.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
ease of catarrh, a remedy must not
only have a specifio action on the mu
cous membranes affected by the ca
tarrh, bnt it most have a general tonio
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are
otherwise strong, is a weakened con
dition of some mucous membrane
There must be something to strength'
en the circulation, to give tone to the
arteries, and to raise the vital forces
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted so much attention
' from medical writers as HYDRASTIS
CANADENSIS. The wonderful effi
cacy of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profusion. Whti
Joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a
trio of medical agents is formed in Pe
rnna which constitutes a specifio rem
edy for catarrh that in the present
state of medical progress cannot be
s improved upon. This action, rein
s forced by such renowned tonics as
COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, COB
YDALIS FORMOSA and CEDEON
BEED, ought to make this compound
an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its
stages and locations in the body.
From a theoretical standpoint, there
fore, Pernna is beyond criticism. The
use of Pernna, confirms this opinion.
Numberless testimonials from every
quarter of the earth furnish ample
evidence that this judgment is not
over enthusiastic When practical ex
perience confirms a well-grounded the
ory the result is a truth that cannot bo
shaken.

the others. Still he grew worse. At the
end of about a year and a half of suffering
he grew so bad I had to tie hia hands in
cloths at night to keep him from scratch

two months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind since,

Grading Up Fowls.
The grading up of our common
stock of fowls is a matter that should
receive more consideration than it
usually gets. Even in Instances where
attempts have been made to accomplish
this object failure has often resulted
by reason of wrong ideas entertained
by the breeder. If your are to grade
up your flock you must use pure bred
males of one breed only. Little or
no progress can be made by using
pure bred males of more than one
breed in the same flock. Mixing of
breeds means rapid degeneration. A
scrub Is a typical mixed bred animal
whether it be bird or beast Grade
up your flock if you will, but choose
the breed you prefer, and use males of
that breed only. Farmers Home Jour-

Proportion of the Sexes.
The United States Animal Indus
try Bureau people have been collect
ing information regarding the rela
tive proportions of the two sexes of
pigs at birth. Reports were received
from 82 breeders located in 25 states.
Eight breeds were represented: Berk
shire, Chester White, Duroc Jersey,
Hampshire, Large Yorkshire, Ohio
Improved Chester, Poland China, and
Tamworth. The number of sows
whose litters were reported was 1477.
The number of boar pigs was 6660;
sows, 6625; total 13,285. The average
per sow was: Boars, 4.61! sows, 4.48;
total, 8.99: In 49 cases second litters
during the year were reported for the
same sows wsich somewhat raises
the average per sow. The sexes may
be regarded as equal in number at
birth. The proportion was 1005 boars
to 1000 sows.
Cost of Spraying.
In a paper read before the Colorado
8tate Horticultural society by W. 8.
Kaswell he gave the cost and results
Of spraying In 1906. When 1-2 to 2-3
of the petals had fallen and bees had
stopped working he made his first
spraying, using a double, course Ver
morel nozzle, turned so as to force the
spray into the calyx. He drenched
every tree thoroughly, intending to
cover every blossom and every leaf.
The second spraying was applied 10
days later using a finer nozzle. Thirty
days later the third spraying was com
menced, using a fine nozzle, with care
to cover each apple with a fine mist.
He considers the first 1 spraying the
most Important. If the first brood of
codling moth is mostly poisoned but
few should appear in August He
used 400 pounds of arsenate of lead, at
a cost for material of $53, on 100
trees; 98 percent Of his apples were
tree from worms.
Protection Against Borers.
It la admitted that the only treat
ment for apple and peach borers con
sists of some protective measure. The
adult female Insect must be kept away
from the trunk of the trees at or near
the groujd. Scores of remedies have
been suggested; iiany are injurious,
useless, unsightly or expensive. The
apple specialist suggests a preventive
that has the merit of cheapness both
In cost of material and application. It
Is worthy of trial: "Mix cement with
milk and apply with stiff brush. Mix
only a small quantity at a time, as it
may 'set' Apply in a somewhat thin
condition and make a second applica
tion." Remove the earth from around
the trunk a few inches below the sur
face and apply the mixture, say six
Inches below the surface and a foot
above. Of course any borers In the
trunk should be first dug out or punch
ed with wire before tbe mixture is ap
plied. Country Gentleman-.
Undrawn Cold Storage Poultry.
The department of Agriculture at
Washington, D. C, has noted the re
sults of a Chicago cold storage inves
tigation on tbe effects of storing un
drawn chickens.
"Bacteria normally inhabiting the
intestinal tract," It Is stated, "are not
destroyed by cold storage, neither are
the eggs of the blowfly. These bac
teria and maggots develop during the
rise of temperature that takes place
after removal from cold storage be
fore they are killed by beat Tbe
bacteria pats through the walls of the
Intestines into the peritoneal cavity
and liver, while the poisons formed
by the bacteria are yet more penetra
ting and pass deeper into the muscles.
These products of bacteria, called pto
maines, are poisonous. They are not
destroyed by beat In large amounts
this ptomaine poison results In death.
For it there is no known antidote."
It is also stated that when chickens
are kept for a long period undrawn,
the fluid portion of the intestinal con
tents may pass into the adjacent
flesh to the injury of the quality of
the product. With freshly killed poul
try the matter is very largely a ques
of the purchase of something which is
valueless.
Subdue the Brush.
We have got to subdue the .brush
or the bnrsmes and trees will subdue
us.
They march on us so still and silent
ly that we hardly notice them at fill
until they get such a hold that it is
next to impossible to get rid of them.
Many farmers in mowing their
fields leave a few brushes tinder the
walls and fences, as they do not want
to get them mixed in the hay, and so
they leave a few more every year, and
we often see large smooth meadows
with a rim of brush a rod wide clear
around the field.
I have always found the best way to
get rid of the brush and weeds was to
cut them every year when we mow
the grass, and rake them up close to
the wall, and when dry bum them up
clean, and in doing this you are not
only (getting rid of the brush, but
lots of woodchucks and rabbits, and it
makes the farm look so much nicer
that we feel more than paid for all
our trouble. J. A. Saunders in the
American Cultivator.
Notes of the Farm.
Don't put a calf in a pen by itself;
animals suffer from loneliness.
Brood sows should have two pens
one for feeding and one for sleeping.
There is profit in sheep, ana too
few of them are being raised by the
farmers of the United States.
If the cover is left off the milk can,
a piece of cloth or mosquito netting
should be used to keep out insects.
Keep the calves growing. If stunted
the first year there is a loss that never
can be regained. Any animal that Is
worth raising is worth raising well.
Breaking the heifer to her dairy
duties should begin almost with her
birth, by accustoming her. to obedi
ence, confidence and kindly handling.
It requires twenty-five to thirty
bushels of corn per acre to pay the
cost of production and a fair rate of
intrest on the land. A smaller crop
than that is produced at a loss. All
over that is profit.
Corn is a mighty good grain to feed
hogs when fattening time comes along.
But corn, without clover and mid
dlings, will not make profitable hogs.
Make tb green stuffs do their best in
making cheap pork.
Planning the farm work a week
ahead will save time and keep things
moving without a hitch. Keep all
work in your own hands. Know what
you want your men to do, and if nec

FIRE-KILLED TIMBER.
Value of Wood That Has Been
Through Flames.
The traveler who has wondered
why some use is not tnado of the
timber that has been fire-killed all
over the country will be interested to
learn that the United States Forest
Service at the University of Washing
ton, Seattle, has discovered a means
of utilizing this timber, which In the
past has largely gone to waste.
?n testing flre-flkllled timber that
is, timber which had Its bark de
stroyed by a fire not severe enough to
entirely consume tho tree,' and which
left it standing It was found to be
thoroughly sound, and to all Intents
and purposes, horoughly seasoned
lumber. If such lumber is cut within
the first year after it is injured it can
be used for any purpose for which the
original wood Is satisfactory, but If
allowed to stand the timber checked
so badly that it cannot be worked up
to advantage.
It has also been disclosed by Inves
tigations undertaken that good rail
road ties have been made from timber
that In some instances was killed SO
years ago. Philadelphia Record.
Plowing In a 6hip'a Hold.
A common, everyday farm plow was
used in unloading the cargo of the
Amnion at San Francisco. The entire
hold' was filled with 1500 tons of nitre,
which had frozen into one solid mass
and very bard. Explosives could not
be used, and picks and shovels were
too slow. As a joke a bystander sug
gested they better use a plow.
The captain, however, decided to try
the plan, and bought a- good-sized
plow, and by means of block and
tackle and steam winch pulled it
back and forth the length of the hold.
The plow loosened the nitre as fast
as a big gang could shovel it into the
steel buckets. This is probably the
only instance on record where a ship's
cargo was discharged in this way.
Popular Mechanics.
It Is estimated that 21,000,000 acres
are available for rice growing In Louis
iana and Texas and the value of such
a crop would be $400,000,000. This
would make the rice crop fifth fn point
of value among the cereals of this
country.

How often do we hear women say,
"It seems ns though my back would
break." Yet they continue to drag

small of the back, pain low down In
the side, dragging sensations, nerv
ousness and no ambition.
They do not realize that the back

a diseased condition of the feminine organs or kidneys, and that aches
and pains will continue until the cause is removed.

made from native roots and herbs has been for many years the most
successful remedy in such cases. No other medicine has such a record
of cures of feminine ills.

The Lincoln Centennial.
The centennial of the oirtn of J
Abraham Lincoln is less than a year '
and a half away. The date is Feb-1
ruary 12, 1909. The Grand Army of (
Uie Republic, at its recent national
encampment, recognized the approach
of this interesting anniversary by the J
appointment of a committee to pre
pare plans for a suitable celebration.
With the work if that committee all
Americans must be in sympathy: The
men who fought while Lincoln was in
the White House has given the cue
for an action that might well be
country-wide. Kentucky, where the
great commoner was born, and Illi
nois, from which S.tate he was chosen
to the Presidency, should peinaps
take the lead, but there is no reason
why any State or city or community,
North, South, Bast or West, should
not promptly fall into line. The an
niversary celebration in the true Lin
coln spirit, might be the occasion of
a real revival. of patriotism. Colum

EASY FOOD
Heady For Instant Use Without Cook
ing. Almost everyone likes a cereal food
of some kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way of cooking
cereals results In a pasty mass that is
hard to digest, and if not properly
digested, the raw mass goes down
Into the intestinal tract where gas is
generated and trouble follows.
Everyone knows that good food
properly digested keeps the body
well, while poor food, or even food of
good quality that is poorly prepared
and not digested, is sure to bring on
some kind of disease.
The easiest food to digest In this
line is Grape-Nuts, made from wheat
and barley, and cooked thoroughly at
the factory, some 12 to 16 hours be
ing consumed In the different pro
cesses of preparation. The food,
therefore, is ready for instant ser
vice and the starch has been changed
to a form of Sugar, so that it is pre
dlgested and ready for almost Imme
diate absorption.
A Chicago young lady writes that
she suffered for years from indiges
tion and dyspepsia from the use of
food that was not suitable to her
powers of digestion. She says:
"I began UBlng GrapeNuts, and 1
confess to having had a prejudice at
first, and was repeatedly urged before
I finally decided to try the food, but I
have not known what indigestion Is
since using it, and have never been
stronger or in better health. I have
increased in weight from 109 to 124
pounds."
People can be well, practically
without cost, if they will adopt scien
tific food and leave off the Indigesti
ble sort 'There's a Reason."
Grape-Nuts Food is crisp and de
licious to the taste. It should be
served exactly as It comes from the
package, without cooking, except in
cases where It Is made-up Into pud

curse may explain the numerous dlsv
asters which have overtaken the)
French navy of late. Dr.. Jeanselss

in the colonial infantry regiments a
15 per cent in the foreign legion a
20 per cent and among Europeans la
native regiments at 25 per cent H
says that opulra dens abound at Tea
Ion, Brest Lorient Rochefort Che,
bourg and Paris.
