She Had Confidence.

Mrs. H. G. Harshbarger, Manor Hill,
Huntingdon County, Pa, writes: CDR. s.
B. HARTMAN 81 Co, Columbus, o.: I
have been afflicted for three years, caused
by over-work too soon after confinement.
My kidneys became seriously affected;
could not retain my urine day nor night.
It was high colored, thick and bloody.
My inonthlies had left altogether for four
teen months, during which time I was
confined to my bed with beating in right
ovaries. The discharge from the womb
was so offensive no one could stay in the
room. The urine continued bloody, with
pain in voiding it, and when in bed would
pass from me in my sleep. have had
three doctors attending me regularly, one
for four months, one of the others one
whole summer, and the third ali winter.
We had two others in consultation with
them, and used twenty bottles of differ
ent kinds of patent medicines, all to no
good. / then got a bottle of PERUNA,
and before had three-fourths of the bot
tie taken quit wetting the bed and could
retain the urine sufficient to attend church,
which had not done for three years,
and my monthlies came back as natural
as ever; indeed, I considered myself
we'll woman again. Since that time have
had pneumonia. My confidence in Pc
RUNA was so great that did not send for

as can be expected of one so delicate as /
have been. Others in my neighborhood
had the same disease, and among them
were strong men, and had the best physi-
clans, and yet died, while sailed through
in safety on PERUNA and MANALIN. 1
sincerely believe, and would say to all the
afflicted in the wide world, that PERUNA
and MANALIN are the only two medicines
that any one needs in any disease, if used
as directed in your book entitled "The Ills
of Life"

Dominion, Morgantown, VIVA, writes:

your medicine in exchange for advertis-

Mr.. NJ. c. Pershing, Bradenville, Pa,

Agricultural Guesswork.


1t is a popularity of mundane
things that we never absolutely
know one day just what will happen
the next. The very best that can
be done is to base all business cal
culations on probabilities. These
are sometimes weak and only infer
entail, and again they approximate
to certainty. 1t is not through
what they know will happen, but
by iudicious adaptation of their
policy to what is most likely to
happen, that men amass fortunes
and enjoy success. There is a Ger
tain point up to which every one
who would produce or exchange,
or employ himself in any industrial
pursuit, must assume risk. The
merchant in buying goods, the cap
italist in investing his money, the
farmer in sowing his crop-alI as
sumo an outcome highly probable,
but never absolutely certain. If
all acted only on positive knowl-
edge, and placed confidence in only
what was already demonstrated,
the entire business world would at
once come to a standstill.
But the farmer must of ali others
rely upon the stimulus of faith.
AS a result of one seasons planting
he may secure one half as great or
twice as great return at one time
as at another. The outcome is hid
den in the future-but he must pre-
pare for it with the sane regulari-
ty and care as is the result were a
fixed and Interchangeable quantity of
produce, and the market always
liberal reward. This is so evident
that it cannot be strengthened by
argument.
To be successful in the highest
degree, though, he must avail him
self of every help within reach
which may aid him in intelligently
considering the probabilities on
which the end of his labors rests.
Too many are prone to ignore the
figures Of statisticians, the analyses
of crop estimates, newspaper com
ments, etc, alleging that it is all
nothing but guess-work, and for
that reason worthless. But, good
friends, your own ideas of what
your work will result IN are bald
guess work as well. The difference
is that the professional guessers are
in a position to get broader view
of probabilities, being in connection
with countless sources of informa-
ton, which are condensed and nm
alyzed for your benefit. Those who
will take the pains to notice, from
one year to another, how the crop
estimates and analyses approximate
to the actual developments of the
seasons, will be surprised to note
their average accuracy. 1t is a mis-
take to throw away availabillties be-
cause in the nature of the case it
must always contain an element of
neutrality-suspicious. and Farmer.

Feminine Peculiarities.

not rest, nor did he wish it to rest,

Different Things.

l am only a farmers daughter
and am proud that we farmer
daughters are the most independent
girls there are. We can do all
kinds of work, from entertaining
company in the parlor, to milking
the worst COW on the place. And
if we live few miles from the city
can we not hitch our own horse in
our buggy and drive there without
having to run, or go to the farth
est field on the farm to find some
of the men TO hitch up for us?
How many of the city girls can do
that?
Our homes are just what we make
them. We should try to have them
always cheerful and pleasant, and
as happy as possible. There is
nothing that adds more to the APP
pearance of a home than a few
house plants. l have fifty pots of
them. think that l can hear some
say, ooh, they never bloom for me-"
If you keep them nicely sprinkled
every morning and have a good soil
for them there is no danger but
they will bloom for you. Leaf
mould and sand make a good soil
for them.
Now a few words to the boys, and
1 am through. You were made to
be kind, heterogeneous, magnani-
nous. If there is boy in school
who has a club foot, don't let him
know you ever saw it. If there is
poor boy with ragged clothes, don't
talk about rags in his hearing. If
there is a hungry one, give him
part of your dinner. If there is
bright one, be not envious of him;
for if one boy is proud ofhis talents
and another envious of them, there
are two great wrongs.

In selecting and purchasing aIflock.of
sheep to feed, and then put on the mar
ket, care should be exercised to have
them all OF one breed, size, age and col
or. A bunch of sheep uniform in these
qualities will command a more ready
market, and at better prices, than
bunch of even superior merit, but
which is uneven IN grade. Another
reason for having the sheep uniform is
that they will feed together better and
fatten more evenly.

Setting Strawberry Plants.

The present month is a good time
IN the middle region of the country
for setting plants. A piece of
ground for strawberry bed should
have been so cultivated as to be
tree from weeds; it should he pre-
pared for planting by digging or
blowing in deep a good coat of we'll
rotted manure. When this cannot
be obtained, and the land is other
wise suitable and in a fair condition
of fertility, the plants can be set
and a small amount of some good
commercial fertilizer be given each
plant by scattering it on the surface
about it and then hoeing it in. In
the spring another application of
the same kind can be made by SOW
ing it between the rows. In the
garden set the plants eighteen
inches each way; for field culture
eighteen inches apart in the row,
with the row three to four feet dis
tant, is the approved practice.
