“One bottle
good than all Mr. John N. Watkins,
the others put together, as they only
poisoned my system. Peruna, cured
me. I used It for four months before
a complete cure was accomplished, but
am truly grateful to you. The least I
can do In return Is to acknowledge
the merits of Peruna, tvhlch I taka
pleasure In now doing."
Bladder Trouble.
Mr. C. B. Newhof, 10 Delaware
■treet, Albany, N. Y., writes:
"Since my advanced age I find that
I have been frequently troubled with
urinary ailments. The bladder seemed
Irritated, and my physician said that
It was catarrh caused by a protracted
cold which would be difficult to over
come on account of my advanced years.
1 took Peruna, hardly daring to believe
that I would be helped, but found to
my relief that I soon began to mend.
The Irritation gradually subsided, and
the urinary difficulties passed away. I
have enjoyed excellent health n<rw for
the past seven months. I enjoy my
meals, sleep soundly, and am as well as
I was twenty years ago. I give all
praise to Peruna.”
The difference
remember this —
it may save your life. Cathartics,
bird shot and camion ball pills—tea
spoon doses of cathartic medicines
all depend on irritation of the bowels
until they sweatenough to move. Cas
ed rets strengthen the bowel muscles
so they creep and crawl naturally.
This means a cure and only through
Cascarets can you get it quickly and

ScHurz Was Sure of Him.
Carl Schurz was dining one night
iwlth a man who had written a book
of poems, so called, and who was
jpleased with himself.
The poet was discoursing on the
time-worn topic of politics of the men
who take office.
"I consider politics and politicians
beneath my notice,” he said. “I do
not care for office. I wouldn’t be a
senator or cabinet officer, and I doubt
'if I could be tempted by the offer of
the presidency. For the matter of
Ithat, I would rather be known as a
third-rate poet than a first-rate states
man.
, “Well, aren’t you?” Schurz shouted
at him.

Tile one called at a house where a lit

“Slssie, will you please bring me a
glass of water?” Having brought the
water, he gave her some candy and
asked: “Did the man ahead of me
give you candy?” “Yes, sir.” Then
be gave her a nickel and said: “Did
lie give you money?” “Yes, sir; he
gave me ten cents.” Then, picking
her up, he kissed her and said: “Did
he kiss you?” “Yes, sir, and he kissed
mamma, too!”

HEALTH AND INCOME
Both Kept Up on Scientific Food.
Good sturdy health helps one a lot
to make money.
With the loss of health one’s income
Is liable to shrink, if not entirely
dwindle away.
When a young lady has to make her
own living, good health is her best
asset.

Chicago girl, “dependent on my ownf
efforts for my living. I am a clerk,
and about two years ago through close

HOW SHE ESCAPED.
“My darling,” said Mr. Spoonamore,
as he finished the third helping of his
wife’s plum cake, “the lightness and
flavor of your excellent cake give a
grand and emphatic denial to all the
rubbish written in would-be funny
papers about the Incapacity of young
wives to cook.”
She nestled close to him.
“Or, perhaps,” he continued, "it
may be that my own little wifey-pifey
Is better than all others.”
“Oh, ducky,” she whispered, "how
happy you make me!"
And then she thought how lucky
it was that she had had the sense to
buy that cake at the baker’s.
His Choice.
“I suppose you always prefer to en
list men who are not married?” I re
marked to the sergeant who has charge
of the recruiting station on Cannon
street.
“No, you’re mistaken there,” he
hastened to reply. “I prefer married
men every time. You see,” he went
on to explain, “we don’t have to go to
the trouble of teaching married men to
obey.”
Not All Bad Luck.
“Did you catch anything?” I asked
the honest fisherman, who had been
spending a week with rod and line
along the brooks and the rivers of
New Jersey.
“No,” he growled. Then his face
suddenly became bright with a happy
smile, as he added, "I didn’t even get
a bite, thanks to my good mosquito
netting.”
The Other One.
“Real beauty is indeed rare," he re
marked, glancing disapprovingly at the
crowd that poured past along the broad
walk. “Though I know thousands of
women, there are but two I consider
beautiful.”
“Who is she?” the girl at his side
asked, with quick interest, and perhaps
a tiny flash of jealousy.—ldeas.

ACCURACY
VALUE OF MANURE SPREADER
Extremely Profitable Farm Implement
Where Small Number of Stock Is
Kept—Figures Prove.
Our experience throughout the coun-
Ery has proven that a load of manure
t in any farm can be made to cover
twice as much ground, and such
ground as is covered be made to pro
ejee nearly twice the results that it
ould be possible to secure from
band distribution.
Therefore, a man need have but a
very snjall amount of stock on a for
ty-acre farm to make a manure
spreader an extremely paying invest
ment, even though he base the value
of the manure at no more than $1 per
load when distributed by hand, says a
writer in an exchange. If a manure
spread costs $75 to $125, we can al
low 10 per cent, for depreciation and
7 per cent, for investment, making a
total of 17 per cent, that the spreader
twill cost.
We have seen it demonstrated re
peatedly and believe the experimental
stations will bear out our statement
when we say that a good manure
spreader, by reason of its doubling the
area and doubling the results from
the area over hand distribution, will
make a load of manure that is worth
$1 distributed by hand worth $4 when
distributed with a good machine. On
this basis, and considering that no
forty-acre farm under any sort of or
dinary conditions ought to produce
less than twenty-five loads per annum,
we figure an increased value of the
jnanure amounting to $75, as against
an annual spreader cost of sl7. This
looks like phenomenal results, but it
is the record of careful spreader uses
all over the country, and it is the
fundamental principle that has stood
behind the greatly increasing spread
er trade that has been making itself
feit in the last five years.
Some people may question our state-
Iment as to the large increase from a
load of manure when properly dis
tributed by a good machine over the
hand distribution, but those who have
tried it and tried it most carefully
will agree with us.
FOR THE POULTRY RAISER.
Never allow the laying hens, or in
fact any poultry, to staiiti around on
'damp, cold floors. Straw, chaff, or
leaves are cheap.
Some people say they have had
good success by feeding corn exclu
sively, but it is a fact that hens can
not thrive on this feed alone many
months at a time.
Red pepper and other stimulating
food may have a temporary effect on
the laying efforts of a hen, but it is
like giving whisky to a man. When
the effects wear off they are in a
worse condition than before.
Always remember that skim-milk is
hard to beat in the feeding ration.
Turkeys do better when not con
fined in clode houses. An open shed
is a very good place for turkeys to
roost, except in cold weather.
Have the poultry house handy to
the barnyard or straw stack. They
will pick up half their living around
such places and keep happy by the
exercise they have in the scratching.
Fall Feeding of Timothy.
It is a good plan to sow timothy In
the fall, even if the ground is to be
sown to clover the next spring. Un
der the usual system of rotation of
crops it is desirable to get a catch oi
some kind of grass to prevent break
ing the , regular rotation, and if the
timothy seed is sown on the raw
ground with the fall-sown wheat, fail
ure will rarely occur. Even if the
clover fails, the timothy remains. If
there is a catch of clover and it makes
a good crop, the timothy helps to
hold it up and prevents as much lodg
ing as if it were alone. Then, too,
the mixture of the two kinds of
grasses makes a better quality of hay
than either will if grown alone.
Feeding Dairy Calves Profitably.
Young calves need whole milk for
the first few days. The calf should
always have the first or colostrum
milk of the cow, and be allowed to
nurse the cow until the eighth or
ninth milking, when the milk is suit
able for human food. Feed often with
small amounts to avoid overfeeding.
Teach the calf to drink and feed
whole milk for at least three weeks,
changing to a kkim milk gradually.
