DANCER frcnl ca:arrh.

The most important feature about
that very common complaint, catarrh
in the head, is its tendency to de-
velop into some other more serious
and dangerous disease. The foul
matter dropping from the head into
the bronchitis tubes OF lungs is very
liable to lead to bronchitis OF con-
sumption, that destroyer which
causes more deaths in this country
than any other disease. As catarrh
originates i'll impurities in the blood,
local applications can do but little
Good. The common sense method OF
treatment is TO purify the blood, and
for this purpose there is no prepara,
ton superior to Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The powerful action Of this medicine
upon the blood expels eYeryimpurity,
and by so doing cures catarrh and
gives health to the entire organism.

4 Doctors Philan.hrophy.
Thousands Afflicted by Chronic Ca
tarrh Under Free Treatment.

The first day of November, 1898,
DR.. Hartman gave his consent to
take charge Of the treatment of TO-
O00 cases Of chronic catarrh free of
charge. The al nouncement was at
once published in all the leading
papers, when the applications came
pouring in from every State III the
Union. With large number OF
clerks and stenographers to assist
him, the doctor actually directs the
treatment Of thousands Of cases by
correspondence, which costs the pa
tients nothing, except the necessary
medicines. which are obtained at the
nearest drug store. To become a
patient it is only necessary to send
name and address. describe symp-
toms and minute directions as to
diet, sanitary regulations, and other
advice will be sent promptly.
Wherever Dr.. Hartman is known
the name Of Pc-ru-na has become Il
household word. 1t is safe to say
that no medicine in existence is used
by 50 many families as Pe-ru-na.
This is especially true Of this time
Of the year, when the people are lla
bic to catarrhal affections, coughs,
colds, Ia grippe, etc. Pe-ru-na has
cured more cases of chronic catarrh
than all other medicines combined.
The great ma lority Of those who use
it buy the remedy themselves, use it
according to directions, not even re-
porting their case to Dr.. Hartman
until after they are entirely cured.
But now that limited number of
cases can secure the personal atten-
ton Of Dr.. Hartman free of charge,
It is not to be wondered at that many
prefer to do so. Pc ru-na never fails
to cure catarrh when properly used.
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company of Columbus, Ohio, are
sending free to any address a book
on chronic catauh which gives the
latest treatment for catarrh, coughs,
colds, la grippe, bronchitis, and all
other affections Of head, throat and
lungs.

Dust In Nature.

Without dust there would be no blue

blacker than we see it on moonless
nights. On this black background the
glowing sun would shine out sharply,
and the same sharp contrast of intense
light and deep shadow would charac-
terize the surface of the earth. There
would be nothing to subdue this sharp
contrast but the moon and the stars,
which would remain visible by day. 1t
is due entirely to the dust that we en-

adapted; and it Is the dust which con.
tributes SO much to the beauty Of the
landscape.
Without dust, then, we would have
no fog, no clouds, no rain, no SNOW, no
brilliant-hued sunsets, no cefulean sky.
The surface of the earth itself, the
trees, the houses, along with man and
beast, would be the only objects on
which the vapor could eondefse. and
these would begin to drip whenever tho
air was cooled sufficiently. In winter
everything would be covered with d
crust of ice. Our clothes would become
saturated with water condcnsing upon
them. Umbrellas would be of no avail.
The vapor-laden atmosphere, moreover,
would penetrate to our rooms and con-

MUTTON SHEEP.
A Class of Sheep to Which Farmers shouid
Pay More Attention.

A Glass of Sheep to Which Farmers should
Pay More Attention.
That farmers az class should use
more mutton can hardly be disputed.
1t is palatable, cheap and nutritious,
and when sheep are kept upon the farm
affords an opportunity of having fresh
meat at less cost and with less risk
of loss than almost any other class OF
stock. During harvest and at thresh-
ing more o. less fresh meat is neees-
sarv. and with little planning heat
of mutton can be made to supply all
that is needed, but it is not only on
these extra occasions that mutton can
be used to great advantage. On too
many farms too much dependence is
placed upon fat bacon or picked pork
for the meat. During the summer
the constant Use of fat pork in this
way is at least detrimental to health
If not positively injurious, and fresh
meat would be healthier as well as
more palatable. Many farmers arc so
situated that they can not depend upon
the butcher, while in reality the NUT
lUH Is 50 uucll ciltdpcI thae ehe u'Ni
age farmer can better afford to kill a
good fat mutton than TO purchase
fresh meat from the butcher, even
though it be brought to the door rea.
sonably regular. One advantage OF
mutton over other kinds of fresh meat
is that it will keep longer than either
beef or pork.
But to have supply when needed
and to have of good quality 1t is
nearly always best to commence in
good season. Mutton to be good, should
be reasonably fat. but with plenty OF
grass and water this would not be diff.
fcult to secure.
There is nearly always wethers or
ewes that have not proven good breed
ers that should either be fattened and
marketed or butchercd, and when
fresh meat is needed it will be more
economical to butcher than to market,
as selling fat mutton and buying fresh
beef and pork Is paying good profit
for converting animals into meat while
it is very questionable, all things con-
sidered, If the quality is as good.
The average farm family will readily
eat good mutton before it will spoil
and do this much more readily than
they would pork or beef, and this is
quite an item.-Wool and Hide Ship

LET TOBACCO GET RIPE.
Too Much Haste In Harvesting the Crol
Causes Waste of Substance.

Too Much Haste In Harvesting the Crop
Causes Waste of Substance.
Mr.. NJ. l. Barker, one of The most ex-
perienced tobacconist in the state,
says that a majority of our farmers
make great mistake by not letting
their tobacco get fully ripe before cut
ting 1t.
II can not understand" said he,
"why farmers are in such haste to cat
their crops unless it is to avoid tile
worms and suckers, which as YOU
know, are quite troublesome when the
plants are nearly ripe. The dews late
in the season are the making of tobac:
co, both as to weight and worth. 1t is
then that tobacco gets its gum, the
gooi color and its real character.
Tobacco has character like anything
else. If cut green, it becomes, when
the sap leaves it, thin, slazy, light. ir-
regular and undesira BILE in color, easy
to funk and of bad character gen.
orally.
Real ripe tobacco, on the other
hand, has substantial character, it is
bright red, or red and yellow, on both
sides, weighs well, has the keeping
quality, chews sweet and is always
sought after.
"Why, you hardly ever see we'll
ripe hogshead on the breaks, but when
you do you see all the buyers gather
ing around 1t; they are attracted by 1t
and often they themselves can hardly
tell why. The same thing is more
noticeable, though, in large manufac-
tories. When a nice, well-ripe hogs
head is opened up, the men gather
around it and ARE pleased with it-bc-
cause it is ripe.
I'm letting it get good and ripe it
may sometimes spot some, but would
much rather have it with spots than to
have it green.
"The fact is, people don't raise as
good tobacco nowadays as formerly
and it's because they don't let it get
ripe. They needn't fear, for a real ripe
plant. even when late, will cure nicely
when an unripe plant would fail to
cure"
What do you think of the growing
crop, Mr.. Barker?
1.-THE general outlook is good, and in
this county the prospect is fine. The
crop has been well cultivated, too; lots
Of it has been topped; it is green and
spreading nicely. The farmers have
