Everybody knows that the life OF
the average physician is hard one.
Heis often compelled to ride great
distances through mud and rain
for q merely nominal fee. 1t is not
fit nor proper or us to condemn any
physician for his work but we do
assert that his practice can be
made easier, and he can affect
more cures by the proper and
iudiciOus use of Peruna. If he
will only add this great remedy to
his list of medicines, he will find
that his usefulness will be greatly
increased. Full directions for Its
use will be found in the Ills of Life,

valuable book. Read the following

Farm Notes.

The one sure way to have good
cows is to raise them yourself.
Tine exclusive feeding of clover
to COWS gives hard cheese and soft
butter.
Good butter and cheese cannot
be made from the milk of COWS
which are deprived of pure water.
1t is a good plan to put under the
tomato vines hay or straw to keep
fruit clean and the surface moist.
1t does pay, after raspberries
have borne two or three crop, to
throw a shovel full of manure
around them.
Layer the new growth of grape
vines by laying the new wood in
and out of the ground every foot
or two.
The milking qualities of a COW
depend more upon those of her
sire's mother than upon those of
her own mother.
Onion seeds left in the ground
through the winter with a mulch
of hay or straw, will make fine
bunch onions for next springs use
or sale.
Start roses and many house
plants for next winter blooming
by putting in cuttings. Fill pan
or shallow box three-lOurths full
or earth and an inch of pure sand
on top, and put in this the cuttings
Keep covered with glass or ont of
the wind and sufficiently watered
to prevent surface from getting too
dry.
Treat your hens as well as you
do yourself. If you want eggs
protect your fowls and feed them.
It's the feed that makes the eggs.
No feed, no eggs. Don t forget that
hen is an egg machine. She takes
food matter aud converts it into
albumen, oil and she'll. The
assimilation of the greatest amount
of proper food of course gives the
greatest amount of egg production.
Contraction of feed means diminu-
ton of egg supply. Then feed
well, keep your fowls safe from
bad conditions of wealth, interru-
ptions and accident. Pat your
mind and heart into the business
and you will make money.
