Russia"® Prohibitory Tariff.
Russia Is at work preparing a nmc
tarlill to get even with Germany. Tho
Movoo Vromya o£ St. Petersburg says
that "in the vast majority of cases tho
duties of the vtsw tariff show an In
crease of £0 per cent on those of the
tariff of 1891, while the duties on
earjy articles have been doubled and
spme caaos more than doubled." As
the Russian tariff 19 now the highest of
any civilized nation, these new rates
Will b practically prohibitory. One

Threads Used In Surgery.
Modem surgery employs done us of
different kinds of thread for up
cuts and wounds. Among them are
kangaroo tendons, horsehair, silk and
very line silver wire. The short, tough
tendons taken from the kangaroo,
which are used for sewing sovare
wounds, are particularly valuable, and
have saved many lives; Chey hold for
about a month befor© they break away.
Silk thread will hold for much longer,
sometimes six months, while the silver
wire Is practically Indistructible.
Thus a surgeon Is able to select a
thread that will last as long as tlio
wound should take to heal, and wiH
then dlsappeaar completely.

GRAIN SMUT PREVENTED.
11l experiments at the Canadian cen
tral station for tile prevention of grain
smut, the best results were obtained by
spraying the seed with a solution of a
half-pint of formalin to five gallons of
water. The cost of two treatments docs
not exceed one cent per bushel. It
wns found to he an almost perfect pre
ventive of smut.
ROOT CROPS.
" The growing of root crops In ibis
country is only secondary to grain and
hay, hut in Europe beets, carrots and
turnips are prized more highly than
anji other crops, and It Is In England,
where turnips ore largely used, that
we procure our best specimens of cat
tle, sheep and swiue. Nearly aW of the
pure breeds of live stock in this ooun
try came originally from England. An
acre of land that will produce 5000
pounds of timothy hay will produce
25,000 pounds of mangels, and the live
stock will thrive better on mangels and
hay than on hay or beets alone. The
labor required to grow root crops Is
much less than formerly, nnd it will
pay to bestow the labor if the livo stock
must give a profit,
SALT FOR FARM ANIMALS. '
So essential is the regular nnd fre
quent use of salt for the maintenance
of health that animals, especially veg
etable feeders, living In a state of na
ture, instinctively travel many miles
to saline springs, the sea Rhore or to
Incrustations or beds of salt to get It.
It has been noticed that the skin and
hair of animals deprived of this neees-
Kliy become rough and dry; that they
do not take on flesh and thrive equally
as well as do those having frequent
supplies of salt. This lias been shown
to be true" of horses, cattle, sheep and
swine. The proper and safest dose to
plvo horses Is about one-half to one
ounce, once or twice a week. Cattle
will take twice that amount. Give
Sheep and swine one or two teaspoon
fuls; the yonng not as much as adults.

' ' PREVENTING LOSS.
It Is a loss to keep an animal four
years If It can be gotten Into market
when three years old, for the year's
ttao saved means labor and food, a
Well as Interest on capital Invested.
With the use of such beef producing
breeds as the Shorthorns, Hereford®,
Angus and Galloways, an average
Weight of 2000 pounds per animal has
been obtained In four years, while
three-year-olds have reached 1800
pounds, and two-yonr-olds 1400 pounds,
the dally Increase being over two
pounds for the yearling up to two
years old, and from one and one-half
pounds tc*one and three-fourths pounds
for older animals. The live weights
only are given, but animals have
dressed sixty-six and a half per cent
When In Experiments
Showing such results have been fre
quently made, and should convince all
farmers that they can produce steers
that will .weigh 1500 pounds, live
Weight In three years, if they will use
the proper breeds. Profit is made by
nalng tho best animals for the purpose
desired.
Actual test?* have shown that fowls
Which are kept together in large flocks
fire not profitable.
From ten to twenty hens in one flock
fire about the limit, and a larger num
ber decreases tbe proportion of profit.
Whether you keep ten or a thousand
bens they should bo separated, and In
that way tho average production of
eggs maintained.
There nro many reasons why tills is
80, principal among which is the feed
ing. It Is wen-nigh Impossible to feed
fi larger number of hens at the same
time without some of them getting too
much and others getting too little
With a small flock it is on end'/ mat

How to Get Strojig Nerve..
First, repair the injury already dona to
your nurves. The way to do this is to do
exactly as did Mettle B. Curtis, Secretary
of Legion, of Loyal Woman, Hotal Salem,
lloatoiL, Maes. She eaid in a recent latter:
"i luuered for over a year with general
weakness and debility manifested in se
vere headache and backache. I took four
bottles of Peruua, and for two months
have been entirely free from these mala
dies." ]
Disinfection of Steam.
Experiments to determine the effi
cacy of various disinfectants made by
the New York Board of Health shows
steam to he the most valuable. It not
only destroys quickly ail disease
germs, but has the poweT of penetrat
ing and disinfection not possessed by
formaldehyde or sulphur fumes. No
other agent Is effective In the disin
fecting of clothing and bedding.

Nervous Prostration.
Thousands of cases might bo quoted W
which Peruna has been used to rescue peo
ple from the perdition of deranged nerves*
and put them on the good, solid founder
tion of health. The bounty Auditor oj
Erie County, New York, Hon. John W.
jNeff, in a recent letter written at Buffalo,
York, stated: "I was persuaded by a
friend to try a bottle of your great nerve
tome. Peruna, and the results were so
gratifying that I am more than pleased to
recommend it."
A Spring Tonic.
Ahnoet everybody needs a tonic in the
g P rm §- Something to brace the nerves, In
vigorate the brain and cleanse the blood.
That Peruna will do this is beyond all
question. Every ono who has tried it has
had the same experience as Mrs. D. W.
•Timberlake, of Lynchburg, Va., who, in a
recent letter, made use of the following
words: "I always take a dose of Peruna
after business hours, as it is a great thing
for the serves. There ia no better spring
tonic, w.d I have used about all of them.
Catarrh in Spring.
The spring is the boat time to treat ca*
tarrh. Nature renews herself every spring*
Tho system ia rejuvenated by spring
wont/her. This renders medicines more tf
foctive. A short course of Peruna, assisted
by tike balmy air of spring, will cure old*
stubborn cases of catarrh that have resist
ed treatment for years. Everybody should
have a cony of Dr. Ilartman's latest book
on catarrh. Address The Peruna Modi*
