FARM Garden
A Wife Gardener"

There is no economy in a woman making
drudge out of herself by doing all the work
for large family when help can be secured
at a nominal price and paid for out OF the
surplus which her efforts can produce in the
garden; and in addition to this it requires
little extra labor to enable her to build up
small bank account of her own and still have
ample time to ''store her mind with useful
knowledge read the news of the day, and be
a companion for her husband and a counselor
for her children"
We know whereof we speak. Six years
ago we located at Brookside. Ill health COM
PEELED us to give up all laborious kinds OF in
door work. Exercise in the open air being
recommended as the only remedy for re-
storing health, and not being content to
play the drone, we chose the garden for our
field of labor We scarcely had sufficient
strength to lift either spade or hoe, much
less use them; but once fairly started in the
business, found our spare time pleasantly and
profitably employed in planning and per-
forming the lighter work always necessary
to be done in the garden. Finding
ready market for our surplus, we soon dis
covered that the garden could be made the
most profitable part of the farm. The help of
an extra hand was proffered us when needed.
Our boundaries were gradually extended,
and through the natural drift and force of
circumstances we soon found ourselves
full-fedged wife gardener" The plat we
now devote to the growing of vegetables and
small fruits for home consumption and vii
lage market embraces an area OF five acres.
We have just finished transplanting 10000
early cabbage plants, and do not feel half as
tired and worn out as we would have been
had we been engaged in getting out the
weeks washing. We keep strict account OF
all receipts and expenditures, and know just
what the profits are and where they come in
With an abundance of vegetables laid by for
home use the grocers bill is greatly dimin-
ished. and this forms no inconsiderable part
of the profits Any industrious farmers
wife, with necessary help, can do as well as
we have done, if she lives close to market;
and If SO far away that it is not convenient
to grow and sell green vegetables, it can be
made equally profitable to grow such as ale
marketed in dry state-such crops as Lima
and navy beans, onions, onion sets, and pota-
toes As many as 20 of the leading periodi-
Gals of the day are regular visitors at our
home, and we find plenty OF time during the
week to read and digest the greater part of
them all

Miss Nellie Kent.

Wellington, Lorain county, o, writes:
"Dr. S. B. HARTMAN s. Co, Columbus,
o., Gentlemen: | have been great stuff
rer from chronic catarrh, bronchitis and
neuralgia of the face. l have been taking
your PERUNA for one month. The neu-
ralgia and catarrh is almost well, and the
cough is much better. like your PERU
MA very much"
c. Z. Dupler, aged thirty four years, OF
Equality, Illinois, had been affected with
a chronic catarrh which he first discov-
cred six years ago. In succession he lost
his smell, taste and hearing. The disease
was SO malignant that itnot only attacked
the softer parts, but destroyed the bony
partition of the nose and seriously affected
the external parts. He could only hear a
watch ticking by holding it close to his
ear. He suffered intense pain in the nose,
from which green, dry clots of offensive
odor fell. In this condition he presented
himself TO Dr. Hartman several months
ago. He can now hear watch eight
inches from his right and six inches from
his left ear. His taste and smell are again
returning, and the external part of the
nose is quite well. Few more grateful
patients ever left physicians office than
Mr.. Duplcr. He said. Why in the
world was PERUNA not prescribed for
me long agof"
Cramps of the Stomach.
We have the privilege of reporting the
following case. Those similarly affected
can get the name and address of DIR.
Hartman. The lady does not want her
name inthe papers. For year, or years,
1.-THE writer does not remember the length
of time,) this lady had cramps, the most
fearful, of the stomach, every day and
night, (which would be followed by that
terrible weakness, which was something
wonderful" The suffering and distress
of this lady was indcscribable and almost
uncomfortable. After all the physicians
and medicines had failed, and all hope
had almost ned. DIR. Hartman was con
suited, and from the first day of taking
his PERUNA, the cramps and all bad
feeling left her, and now for over month
has been entirely free from every symp-
tom. A more thankful patient no doctor
ever had.
