Mr.. DUNCAN, an extensive cotton,
planter in the Mississippi bottom, who
visited Russia last year for the pur-
pose of gaining information in regard
to the culture of the sunAower in tha:
country, gives his observation as fol-
lows: 1.-The Russians who grow the
plant generally SOW the seeds after a
crop of wheat and rye has been har-
vested from the land. Some SOW a after
oats and buckwheat, but have found
it less profitable to SOW after the latter.
as the buckwheat takes up such large
per cent of potassium from the soil that
the flower does not pay. 1t thrives
and heads we'll after crops of rye and
clover. The land intended to be
planted is thoroughly plowed in the
fall and left until the next spring, at
which time the seeds are sown, either
in drills or broadcast. If in rows, they
are planted from twelve to twenty-four
inches apart, depending largely on the
fertility of the soil. On some of the
rich, black lands, they grow four to
six crops without resting the land"

Dark Ago Of Agriculture

The dark age of agriculture" in
England is said to have been during
the civil strife known rs the Wars of
the Roses. This idea is scorroboratcd bv
Mr.. Corbett in his recently published
work on the history of England. He
remarks that ''during the whole of the
years between the revolt of the peas
ants under Wat Tyler and their re
volt in 1549 under Ket hardly 4 single
improvement was introduced. The
uses of clover, turnips and Artificial
grasses still remained unknown. plow-
ing continued to be little more than a
scratching of the surface. draining and
manuring were neglected; and even
marling went somewhat out of fash
ion. For draft Purposes horses
were still hardly ever used,
oxen being preferred, because they
cost less to keep in winter, wanted no
shoes, and when dead were mans meat.
whereas horses were carrion. And
yet the common pastures were in many
cases as bare and unshel.ercd, and the
grass so poor, that we arc assured it
was almost impossible to keep work
ing oxen in condition upon them" The
cultivation of ''such herbcs, fru;:cs.
and roots as grow yearly out Of the
ground Of seed,' which had been plen-
tiful on the land in the days of the
Edwards, lin process of time grew also
to bc neglected." SO that from Henry
Nv. till the beginning OF the reign of
Henry VIII. there was little or no use
of them in England.

WHEN SPRING M
! Recommend Pe-ru-na to All suffer.
ers' Says Editor W. T. Powell, of
Darlington, Ohio.

WI. Powell, editor of the IndeDend-
enc OF Clarlngton, Ohio, writes that he
was taken sick with bronchitis and
catarrhal fever, head was in a terrible
condition, lungs were badly affected
oeing so tight and sore he could hardly
breathe, and coughed almost incess-
aii'iy. For two months tried local
physicians, took cough medicines and
o'her medicines. Took three bottles
OF Pe-ru-na and was entirely ourad
IL Is needless to attemptto give only
the vaguest outline of the wonderful
success which Pe-ru-na has met with
HI the cure of catarrah. This s,1ccess
Is entirely due to the fact that Perm
m e~radicates the disease from the svs-
't'n' instead of temporarily relieving
some disagreeable symptom. Not only
Is eatarrh in all stages and varieties
cured promptly, but also colds,
coughs, bronchitis, la grippe, catarrhal
dyspepsia, all yield, surely and per-
n'anently, to the curative virtues of
Pe-ru-na.
AS spring medicine Pe-ru-na is a
never falling remedy. 1t cleanses the
blood through digestion, and gives
tone to the whole system by increas-
ing the nutritive value of the food
Spring fever" as it is sometimes
called, which produces a tired ont.
sleepy feeling, and inability to do much
mental Or physical work, is the result
of a sluggish digestion, and no blood
medicine will be of any use whatever
unless it is able to rectify the impaired
digestion. The popularity that Peru
ma has is due to the fact that in all
such cases it at once corrects digestive
arrangements and enriches the blood
by purifying this very important
source of that vital fluid. Send for
book on spring medicines and spring
diseases. Also a valuable treatise on
catarrh, la grippe, consumption, colds
