Sometimes ringbOne can be re-

of mercury ointment. Usually,
however, they remain in spite of all
treatment. Should you wish to
employ the ointment, have a drug

the parts thoroughly and rub in
the ointment for three days. After

A Golden Opinion.

A well known author has said
Every youth should live with an
eye on old age. If he should die
before he gets there, it will never
do him any injury Just so should
all youth be taught by their parents
and teachers that Peruna, the great
tonic, is just the remedy he needs
for all the ailments to which flesh
is heir. Many golden opinions of
its value and of its unprecedented
success have been received by its
discoveries, all of which express
the most unbounded confidence in
it's value as a remedy, and all tell
what it has done for the afflicted.
G. H. WalrOn writes from Brook
Ign, New York, that he began TAX
ing Peruna while at Conneauton,
Pa, for a severe pain in his side.
After taking three bottles, the pain
was almost entirely removed, and
he now asks where he can get the
world-renowned tonic in Gotham.
He knows where he gets relief.
Ask your druggist for Peruna the
ellis of Life"

The BraVest Russian:

Here is an incident from the
thrillingiy described third battle
of Plevna, which gives you an idea
of the magnetic infunce of Skobe-

who had Jagged behind his men
and lain down in a ditch through
sheer cowardice.
'What, lieutenant, had you lain
down to restP

the lieutenant.

that you we're the first to enter the

and so led them that they were the
first of the volunteer, and he was
the first of them, to enter the
edoubt.

Farm Notes
Give live stock salt weekly.

Take a good incoming these hot
days.
No gain ever comes from work
ing the soil when wet.
The last years supply of wheat
seems to have run low at allpoints.
Many Jersey cattle are being
sent from Connecticut to Kentucky.
Dakota expects to gather 5000
600 bushels of wheat at the coming
harvest.
The export of wheat from Aus
tralia to Europe for the present
year is estimated at 100000
bushel.
Corn fields have been devasted
in some parts of Illinois by the cut
worm.
Potatoes are selling as low as
ten cents per bushel in some coun-
ties in Pennsylvania.
Some wheat fields in ZolO county
California, will, it is claimed,
average 20 bushels Of wheat this
year.
1t is claimed that apples grown
on a stiff soil are better than those
from sandy soil.
At a blooded cattle sale in
Missouri recently, forty-four head
of shorthorDS brought 5000, and
sixteen Jerseys nearly $4,000.
The best way to rid a horses
ears of warts is to rub them well
with a coarse cloth and then touch
them with a little nitric acid every
alternate day until you have adj
ministered three applications. A
single drop of the acid will bequite
sufficient for the smaller ones.
Fatten stock IN the stall. Turn
them out for exercise, but never
feed in the yard. The animal that
is obliged to fight for its food
among the herd, and eat it after it
has fouled and trampled, cannot
thrive up its fullest capacity. There
is also an enormous waste Of food
when given in this manner.
To prevent haystacks firing,
scatter a few handSful Of common
salt between each layer. The salt,
by absorbing the humidity of the
hay, not only prevents its fermen-
tation and consequent heating, but
it also adds a salty taste to the
forage, which all cattle like; besides,
it stimulates the appetite and as
sists their digestion and so pre-
serves them from many diseases.
The man who keeps an OK or a
COW until it pines with old age is
double loser by so doing. 1t in
variably costs more in food and
care to maintain an old animal
than a young one. AS the vigor of
the life fails, digestion is less per
feet and assimilation slower and
more difficult, and the waste is
greater.
AS the decline goes on more and
more food is required to produce
milk or meat. Old animals can
seldom be fattened at a profit
where it requires so much more
time and feed to do it. But their
flesh is not equal to that of ami
mails in their prime, so there is loss,
both in the quality and cost of pro-
ducing.
The rations for horses on the
farm are not varied enough. How
often is it the case that a farmer
will instinct his hired help or his
boys to feed the horses ten ears
Of corn apiece, three times day,
and then allow this order to be
carried cut during the entire sea-
son, or perhaps year. 1t is not
much wonder that horses stomachs
give out, that they become weak
and debilitated, and that their
general condition is bad, even if
they are fed what is supposed to
be plenty.
