How the State Aims to Aid the Farmer.

How the State Aims to Aid the Farmer.
Dr. II. r. Fernald, who has recently
been appointed Economic Zoologist to
the Department of Agriculture OF
Pennsylvania, describes his duties as
being the investigation of all kinds of
animals which are injurious to field and
garden crops, fruit, stock and other
agricultural interests OF the state.
That this is an important work is shown
by the estimates prepared by competent.
persons at different times and in various
parts OF the United States. These esti-
mates agree in placing the annual loss,
due to the attacks of insects and other
enemies of the farmer and fruit grower,
at one tenth OF his entire crop. In
other words, the farmer, in an ordinary
year, pays n direct tax to Nature Of one
tenth Of all he produces, while in
seasons when the pests arc unusually
abundant the loss may be as much as
one-quarter.
II We apply these facts to few, only,
of the crops Of Pennsylvania we find
that the estimated value of the Wheat,
Oats, Barley. Hay, Corn, Potatoes and
Tobacco produced in the State during
1895 was $50, 7l9, ,0sO, while II losses by
insect had been prevented, IL would
have been nearly s00,0O0.000, showing
that on those crops alone the loss to the
State each year is nearly $40 0000
This is large sum and it would seem
impossible, If it were not that 1t always
occurred. and year without it has
never been known.
1t is only when the loss is greater
than usual, that the damage Is felt, and
remedies are sought. Yet moro than
half of this destruction could be pre-
vented II knowledge of how to protect
crops from their foes were general.
1t is TO this line of work that the
Zoologist intends to direct his efforts,
Offering to all who are Interested in
formation how best to prevent these
losses. or to check the foe when it has
already appeared.
In order TO do this, and accomplish
the most far reaching results he desires
anyone who finds his crops of any kind
affected by any insect or other animal
to write him, sending samples of the
injuries, and If possible, of the animal
which causes the trouble. All such
letters will be promptly answered with
suggestions OF the best ways to prevent
further damage, and if the trouble be
serious personal examination will bC
made. All such letters should be sen
to the State Zoologist, Department o
Agriculture, at Harrisburg.
Bulletins describing injurious insect
} and other animals. the work they do
and how to treat them will also be pub
lished both in the newspapers and a
phamphlets for distribution, 1t i

HEALTH CATECHIsM.
To Be Committed to Memory BY All
D~ySpeptics. InvalIds, Con- .
suInptives.

RunptiVes.
d What is the cause Of nine-tenths of
all diseased?
Imperfect digestion OF food.
Why Goes imperfect digestion.
cause disease Of other organsP
Because blood, nerves., muscles,
bone and flesh are derived from the
food we eat and digest. If digestion
is perfect the blood is pure, nerves
and muscles strong, flesh firm. II
the digestion is poor, the bloodis sup
piled from half digeste J., fermenting
food, irritating every nerve or organ.
The result is, sooner or later, organic
disease, because every organ being
poorly nourished the weakest gives
way first and we have liver trouble,
kidney complaints, heart disease or
constipation. 5
ls not dieting the usual and best
treatment to cure Indigestion
No. because the dyspeptic has been
starved long enough; what is needed
is abundant nourishment, not the
lack OF it. The stomach and blood
demand nutriment, not bran crack
ers.
What is the best method of cure?
Plenty of wholesome food a1eN d.
gested.
But how can a weak stomach di-
gest plenty Of wholesome food?
By taking with the food after each
meal certain harmless remedies
which are known to digest food and
thus nourish the blood and rest the
weak stomach.
What are these harmless remedies?
The most valuable are vegetable
fermenta, pure pepsin, Golden Seal
and fruit salts. All Of these are now
combined in the form Of pleasant
tasting tablets sold by druggists un
der the name Of Stusrt's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Are these tablets superior to the
vari2ns liquid preparations 80 called
dyspepsia curesf ~,
Most decidedly, because oil liquid
medicines become stale with age and
lose whatever good qualities they may
have had originally, while the tablet
retains it's properties indefinitely.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets car be
carried in the pocket, always at hand
ready fn' use when travelling or at
daily occupation. They cost but SO
cts. and should be kept in every
family. They keep the digestion per-
feet and save DOCTORS bills by ward
ing off disease.
Are Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
adapted to all forms Of dyspepsiaP
Yes, because in all cases the
trouble results from indigested. fer
meDting food, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets cause the food to be digested
before it has tins to Jerment.
IL you wish to know more about
them ask your druggist for a package
and try. them.
