"I had given up hopet of relief, and only tried l'eruna as a fast resort. "I shall continue using it, as I feel sat isfied it will effect an entire and per manent cure. I most cheerfully recommend Peruna to all who may read this." Peruna is usually taken as a last resort. Doctors have been tried and failed. Other remedies have been used, Sanitariums have been visited. Travel has been re sorted to. At Inst l'eruna Is tried. Relief is found. This history is repeated over and over gain, everv nay in the year. It is such re sults as this this Rive Peruna its unas sailable hold upon the peoiile. We could say nothing that would add force to such testimonials as the above. That people who have had catarrh and have tried every other remedy available, find relief in Peruna, constitutes the best argument that could be made.

Was Grover Cleveland the twenty- second or the twenty-fourth president, or both? On the determination of this question depends the numeral to be andied to Mr. Tart, la the new executive to be the twenty-sixth or twentv-seventh president? Several McKlnlev memorials. It la said, are Inscribed with the statement that the dead Ohloan was the twenty-fifth president. This would make Roose velt twenty-sixth ana iau twenty seventh. Cleveland was the twenty-second man to hold the office of president, and the fact that he held It twice with the administration of another man between his own two terms, would not seem to alter the fact. If he were to be called both twenty-sec ond and twenty-fourth the same sys tem of counting would demand that every re-elected president since the beginning of the government would nave to be counted twice. We count by presidents, not by terms, and It appears that Mr. Tart will be twenty- sixth president and that the McKlnley monuments are improperly jnscrlDea, Cleveland Plain .Dealer. 48 Now for Airship Laws.

After one suffers from acid dyspep sia, sour stomach, for months and then finds the remedy Is In getting the right kind of food, it is something to speak ont about A N.- T. lady and her young son bad such an experience, and she wants others to know how to get re lief. She writes: "For about fifteen months my lit tle boy and myself had suffered with our stomach. We were unable to retain much of anything we ate. "After suffering in this way for so long I decided to consult a specialist In stomach diseases. Instead of pre scribing drugs, he put ns both on Orape-Nuts, and we began to improve Immediately. "It was the key to a new life. I found we bad been eating too much heavy food which we could not digest. In a few weeks after commencing Grape-Nuts I was able to do my housework. I wake in the morning with a clear head and feel rested and have no sour stomach. My boy sleeps well and wakes with a laugh. "We have regained our lost weight and continue to eat Grape-Nuts for " both the morning and evening meals. We are well and happy and owe it to Orape-Nuts." "There's a Reason."

FARM and CROPS SUGGESTIONS FOR THE UP-TO-DATE AGRICULTURIST Pure Bred Fowls. Some think that by crossing pure bred fowls better results can be ob tained, and they proceed to cross this, that and the other varieties to suit their theorizing fancies, and thus the flock Is degenerated. Careful breed ing has been carried on for years to bring out varieties useful for every known requirement. No cross Is so good as the pure breed In all Its pur ity. Farmer's Home Journal. New Hampshire Orchards. While New Hampshire Is not consid ered a peach state, there are several large and profitable orchards In the southern and eastern parts of the State. From the Melendy orchard, near Wilton, shipments have been made at the rate of a carload a day. The Parker and Chase orchards in the same vicinity also send large ship ments. The quality of these New Hampshire peaches seems to be equal to any, and the somewhat shel tered locations seems to enable the trees to endure the low winter temper atures. American Cultivator. Look Out for the Drains. In every 'house there is of refuse material a large amount On washing days many gallons, often barrels, of water In which our clothing has been washed, -and which contains all the filth that the skin has thrown off dur ing the week, must be disposed of. As a rule, It Is thrown Into a drain, which Is, perhaps, covered only by a board, and carried only a few feet away, when It forks Into the ground or spreads out and evaporates Into the air. If the soli Is pervious, It may soak Into It and some of it eventually find Its way into the well. Weekly Witness. Jap Insect Kills Gypsy Moths. One of the most promising enemies of the gypsy moth is a small parasite brought from Japan. This little insect lays Its eggs on the caterpillars. The young hatch and burrow into the cat erpillar, soon causing Its death. The yonng insects then attack other cater pillars in the same way, destroying large numbers. According to Secre tary Kirkland, the Japanese insect seems to be firmly established and promises good results by another season. In Japan the gypsy moth is successfully held in check by the par asite, and it is not too much to hope that it will do as well in this coun try. American Cultivator. Making Hens h olt. One of the difficulties In poultry raising is to get the hens to molt early so that they will be ready to lay early In the fall when eggs are high. Left to themselves hens will take a long time to molt and will not finish until cold weather sets In. They will not then lay much until January first and all the profits for October, No vember and December are lost. At the Poultry Institute held in Den ver by the Colorado Agricultural Col lege, J. R. Wilson, a poultryman of long experience in Colorado, gave his method of controlling the molting of hens. Mr. Wilson turns his hens for three weeks in July on alfalfa, feeding them In addition dry bran only. Under this treatment they get thin. The first of August he starts feeding them a mixed ration of grains and meat, giv lng a light feed in the morning and all they will eat at noon ana at mgni. TTnder this treatment they finish molting quickly, get new feathers, and begin laying the first of September. By October 1st they are in full lay ing and make a protit tnrougn tne iau months.

Where the farmer uses his cows for butter making expe rience would go to show that the grade Jersey Is essentially the farmer s cow, an act widely appreciated. The mark of the Jersey is now noticed on every hand in the beautiful and picturesque colors and graceful forms of the cows seen grazing In the meadows and dot ting the pastures. No other cow Is so easily kept, or more docile, or gives a richer return in butter for the food consumed than the grade Jersey. But something depends upon the cow from which the grade is raised. Unless the dam of the cow is a copious milker, and is able to transmit this quality to her progeny, the principal end sought In the crossing 1b missed. The Ayr shire is the most prolific milk cow. For large yields and for easy keeping she is unsurpassed. To cross the Ayrshire cow with a well selecled Jersey bull, ought to give the best dairy cow that can be readily pro duced. The large milk yield of the Ayrshire is united with the large cream yield of the Jersey, and we have all we can procure in the way of the Jersey, multiplied by the excess of the yield of the Ayrshire Weekly Witness. The Business Hog. The hog for the farmer and the pork barrel should be a hog that is hardy Any one ought to know this, but I say It because there are scores of people wno do not seem to know even this much. They buy almost anything, just so It Is cheap. "Common stock will do for me," is a frequent saying. It is strange indeed, with all the good farm Journals published, that there are so many people who claim that common stock is good enough for them. Some even claim they can make a hog out of anything with feed. Don't try this plan of past ages. Get a good pair of pigs and learn how to care for them. Take your choice as regards breed, but buy the best. Why? Because the best gives you two chances. You can have Just as good Buccess raising pure bred pigs as the common kind. If you cannot sell any for breeding purposes the first year, people will see them and inquire after them and by and by you will be selling as a breeder and the business will come to you and you will hardly know how you got into the business. Although you do not sell any pigs or shoats for breeding purposes you have a lot of hogs that will take less feed and raise you bet ter pigs. Farmer's Home Journal. Keeping the Milk Sweet. Practically the only method that can be recommended to keep milk sweet is to keep out of it the bacteria that makes it sour. If after milk has been cooled, that is, after the animal heat Is taken out of itr it could be secured free from bacteria and put in clean bottles and tightly sealed, it would keep just about as well as land. In fact, milk has been bottled and sent across the ocean and back again, and still kept sweet. Hence the way to keep milk sweet is to keep it clean, not merely from animal filth and odors, but as far as possible from the bacterism which tends to sour it. The reason why milk kept cool, down to around 32 degrees, or near the freezing point, will keep sweet longer than if kept at a temperature of 70 or 80 degrees, is because the bac teria which cause milk to sour do not multiply at that low temperature. It does not get them out of the milk, but it keeps them from increasing. There is only one way to keep the bacteMa out of the milk, and that 1b perfect cleanliness. If one wants to keep milk sweet in wUrm weather, he must milk the cows in the open air while they are in the pasture. Then put the milk into clean palls, reduce It to the temperance of cold spring water, and there will be no trouble with the milk souring in any reason able length of time. But it the cbws are milked in a stable poorly ventilat ed, poorly lighted, with Btrings of spid er webs covered with dust hanging from the celling, with a dirty floor and considerable manure in the gut ters, and do the work with dirty hands and dirty clothes the milk is sure to sour. Many an honest man is furnishing milk that not only sours quickly but Is dirty plainly speaking. He is hon est enough, but he does not really know the simple fact that milk sours with the multiplication of a certain class of germs; that these are to be found in every stable to a greater or less degree; that the dirtier and dark er the stable and the more dust there is around it and in it during milking, the quicker the milk sours, no matter how good care is taken of it after wards. Milk will keep longer If the first In each teat is milked out and given to the hogs. The reason for this is be cause colonies of germs find their way Into the mouth of the teat and multi ply between milklngs. W. H. Under wood in the Indiana Farmer. Farm Notes. Commercial fertilizers should be used as soil improvers not for crop stimulators. Stable manure is the best balanced ninnt food for most soils although some soils will produce better when mineral fertilizers are employed. Tiaitnhtrries and blackberries are both much benefited by spraying with Bordeaux for leaf diseases, but where rust appears the diseased cane should be cut and burned. As a. rule, a woman makes a suc cess of poultry culture because she is rarefnl watchful and mindful of all thes mall detalls-rthe HtUe leaks that often sink the ship. One of the reasons why a small flock of hens does better than a large flock is because table scraps form a large part of the small flock's rations and they are an evenly balanced ra tion. It Is a dangerous error to spread manure from the cart leaving it in small heaps. Much of the value will ho leached out and the material un evenly distributed, and the work of application is increased. Do not burn the old stalks, weeds rubbish. Thev contain much good plant food and are espe callly desirable as mulch around fruit trees that are so located that they cannot be kept in cultivation. The farm was made attractive for the voune people by making a nice lawn, with plenty of shade, 'a croquet set. lawn tennis, basket ball or other contesting garos, and permission to Invite tb"N neighboring boys and girls to Join.

A process which makes possible the substitution of steel for malleable Iron In many articles of light hard ware has been Invented by L. S. Lach man, and is described In the Engi neering and Mining Journal. The method Is founded primarily upon the Idea that as two pieces of metal ot unequal section do not unite readily to form a good weld, two points, or a point and a ridge, must be raised on the pieces to be united. These raised contacts are rorced together under hydraulic pressure, and form ing the link of lowest conductivity in an electric circuit, are heated by the current to a temperature at or near fusion; the two projections ne thus quickly united and form a bond or rivet which is even swonger than an ordinary rivet, becauatff it is In one piece with the body of the metal.

Once members of the great Creek family, the Semlnoles of Florida have lost their tribe, their traditions and their homes. Their own people have forgotten them. The United States has ignored them since the Seminole war, when their roster was lost. Payment of the government debt to their tribe made plutocrats of their brothers in the west, but never a dime reached the members of the lit tle band who refused to be driven from their ancestral home. But their Spartan courage has departed and in the cowed and cringing remnant there is no spark of the fire that flashed in "The Seminole s Reply." The Government has no agent among the Semlnoles, and the last guess at their number, made by the United States seven years ago, was 358. That fragment of the tribe has now shrunk to 275. Collier s.
