THE PISO COMPANY.

The above is the style of the firm which
manufactures Piso's Cure for Consumption
and Piso's Remedy for Catarrh, at Warren,
Pa. The company was recently incorpor-
ated, succeeding E. T. Hazeltine, under
whose name the business has been con-

paid for the first barrel of sugar bought,
that was SO cents a pound other things We're
propOrtionately high, as much of the PiSo
Cure is now sold for Is cents as was then for
s1.O0.
While the firm has been a very persistent
advertiser in newspapers, its aggregate out
so that the steady and rapid increase in
sales to their present large proportions GER
tainly indicates that Pisos Cure for Con-
sumption possesses high merit as remedy
for coughs, colds and throat and lung
troubles generally. The pleasant taste Of
the cure has doubtless contributed materi-
ally to its popularity.
Growth in business has neeessitated the
invention of numerous labor-saVing ma
chimes Notable among these are apparatus
for washing, filling, corking and sealing
bottles with which three men easily turn
out ., 900 bottles an hour. In the advertis-
ing department improved machines in the

everything that he can thus produce

rule, then, for every farmer to grow
upon his own acres everything possible

products ought to be sufficient to paw
for what he can not produce and leave
him handsome margin for the bank.

WHO WINS THE $500.

A novel way to obtain a suitable
name for their great, yes, wonderful
new oats, has been adopted by the
John A. Salzer Seed Co. They offer
$500 for name for their new oats;
their catalogue tells all about it. Farm
ers are enthusiastic over the oat,
claiming 200 bushels can be grown per
acre right along. You will want it.
Farmers report six tons of hay from
Salzer's Meadow Mixtures; 112 bushels
corn per acre in dry season, and /, 161
bushels potatoes from two acres.

HERE AND THERE,

Pigs to thrive well should always
have clean pen, dry bed and an OBJ
portunity to get plenty of pure air.
When fall pigs are wintered owe,
and are kept until the next fall to be
fattened, they nearly always prove to
be expensive animals.
In the feeding of hogs economical
~ during the winter, the providing Of
good shelter is an important item.
Animal heat can be maintained at a
less cost with good shelter than by the
feeding ofgrain. AE ~ &@8
ALL the surplus fowls on the farm
Or poultry yard should be sold, and
that right away. BY surplus is meant
all above what may be wanted for
home use. Don't deprive the home
table for the benefit of the town laws.
Charity, you know, begins at home.
ANY soil is benefited by exposure
to the air. Much elementary fertility
is held in gaseous form in the atmos-
phere, and soil sufficiently areated is
to certain extent fertilized. There.
fore tear up the surface of the earth,
subsoil it, harrow it and roll it, and
let the air in.
Remember that if you don't keep a
sharp lookout you may be feeding a
lot of vermin, when you think you are
only feeding your chickens. When a
hen has to support a populous colony
of vermin, it takes more feed. Stop
fattening these parasites; they are fat
enough-kill them, kill them dead.
The difference there is in men to
arrive at successful results in dairyinp
is illustrated by the difference of a
cow at the Minnesota state farm. Dur.
ing the year 1898 she earned s1a7. so:
the cost of her care and keep for the
same period was So. Sc, leaving a sur

There is no better feed for fatten-
ing hogs than the southern field peas,
and it is claimed by many feeders that
the meat of hogs thus fed is better than
that of hogs fattened on corn. The
crop of these peas should be more than
doubled, it should be quadrupled. At
present prices this is a far more
profitable crop, for sale or home use,
Than cotton, wheat, or even corn.

FEEDING CORNSTALKS,
A Valuable Fodder That is Very Largely
Wasted.

Valuable Fodder That is Very Largely
There is usually some compensation
to be found in an unfortunate or disas-
trous circumstance Or event. That is
to say, in other words, there is often
rift in the cloud, and many an evil is
not without some redeeming feature.
An example of this is found in the
shortage of the hay crop in certain Sec
lions OF our country. Naturally, with
hay scarce and high, feeders will look
about for some cheap substitute, and
by such operation are very liable to
stumble upon some heretofore despised
fodder that may be found of
value. The fact is notorious that
the cornstaliks on many of the large
western grain farms have been and are
still wasted to scandalous de-
gree. TO be sure, the leaven is working
already, and many farmers who former
ly made no account of corn fodder now
begin to estimate it at something of it's
real value; but there still remains
mighty class CT corn-growers who need
the influence of good missionary work
to drill their appreciative faculties to
realization of what boon to agricul-
ture the cornstalk truly is
1t has been stated that corn fodder is
being sold in some places in place of
dear hay, and feeders are greatly
pleased with the new fodder. Such can
not fail to be the case wherever good,
weii-cured cornstalks form the basis of
test, and certainly any section OF the
country that has grown a good corn
crop should not be obliged to import
much hay, even if it's own crop of the
latter is very short
Good corn fodder is now valued by
countless tirst-class dairymen as prac-
tically equivalent to fine English or
timothy hay, weight for weight, and it
is shame to waste single stalk of
corn Not only is the fodder excellent
and highly desira BILE for cattle and
mich cows, but for horses and sheep
as well. 1t is important, however, in
order to secure full value, to carefully
cure the fodder, and store as soon as
dry, out of the reach of the wasting
influences of air and storms. We should
handle our stalks as nearly as possible as
we would the grass from which we
would make hay. To make first
class hay we dry it as rapidly
as possible, and put it in the barn
just as fast as it can be, to avoid the
injurious effects of rain and dews.
Why not follow the same plans in the
production of the best possible quality
of corn fodder, and not stack it up. or
put it is stacks in the open field to be
exposed to inclement weather through.
out the fall and early winter? By some
care, stock may be induced to eat all
the stalks with but very little waste.
The fodder will be consumed more
cleanly if but little is given at a
time. Usually the cows will eat the
tops of the stalks,s and leave some of
the thick butts unconsumed. These
may be cut into two-inch lengths,
moistened, and sprinkled with some
kind of grain, with the addition of.
perhaps, little cheap molasses. This
will make the fodder more palatable,

San Antonio Also Needs It.


After November IA next, accord.
ing to an order recently issued by
the Railroad Commissioner Of
Massachusetts, the cars of every
street railway in the State must be
equipped with tenders and wheel
guards capable of OF saving life.
Horse cars and trailers are ex-
cepted, and temporary exception
is made of cars run wholly within
the limits of towns having popu-
lation ofless than 1900. No special
form Of fender is indicated, but
when the fender is designed to
serve also as a wheel guard, it
must not only pick up a person
run into while standing, but pre-
vent person who has fallen or
been thrown down from getting
under the car and being run over
by the wheels. The commissioners
say, mo one form OF fender or
wheel guard has yet been proved to
be so unquestionably superior to
all others, tried and untried, as to
justify the prescription Of its sole
and its exclusive use;" and the
several street railway companies
are therefore left free to deal with
paatentees and inventors, for the
selection Of such tenders as will in
practice prove most efficient.

As TO United Labor.
From the Southern Republican.

From the Southern Republican.
We desire to do full justice to
the various labor organizations
whose representatives met here
last week and deliberated and
thoughtfully acted for what they
believe to be the best for American
citizens. The interests of all
branches of labor are identical il
their relations to each other are
properly adjusted.
Personal experience in acting
with labor organi cations has long
since convinced US that nothing
can be accomplished unless the
delegates are thoroughally Amer
lean. The great trouble between
the farm labor are as a mass
American born or so i'm bued with
American ideas that their convic.
tions are thoroughly American.
The labor organizations OF the
cities, as a rule, are dominated by
the foreign element and too often
send delegates who are altogether
too foreign in their ideas to deli
berate as to united action. Here
tofore nearly all disagreements of
such conferences we're the result OF
the foreign views Of city delegates
who either had not been in this
country long enough to have their
thoughts Americanized or lived
with class who prefer to continue
in their old ideas rather than join
the American Republic.
The result of last weeks meet
ing in Lampasas shows how easy
it is for Americans with Ameri-
can ideas to unite for action, and
it shows plainly that il the labor
organizations desire to unite they
must send American delegates
or, If foreign born, 80 saturated
with American feelings and wants
that their thoughts are always
American.
