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.

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. The Winning Candidate.

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. “I am alone in the world,” writes a Chicago girl, “dependent on my ownf efforts for my living.

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. PROFESSIONALS. DR. C. T. HALL.
