Every year some more old mowings are
turned into pasture, because they don't
pay. Except grass no light crops pay; the
hired man eats them all up. The combin-
alton of the sweet corn business with the
sllo and dairy gives the much needed
chance to enrich the old mowings Pota-
toes and sweet corn can be harvested in
time for seeding in September. The high
manuring and careful cultivation required
by these crops ensure good catch and a
right smart chance of rowen for several
years. A few seasons of this rotation will
improve a large extent of the old moving.

The Secret Service has just unearthed another
band of counterfeiters in suburb of New York
City, and secured large quantity of bogus IS
bills, which are so ceverly executed that the
average person would never suspect them of be-
ing spurious. Things of great value are always
selected by counterfeiters for imitation, notably
the celebrated Hostetters Stomach Bitters, which
has many imitators but no equals for common
disorders like fever, ague, malaria, indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness and general
debility. The Bitters sets things right in the
stomach, and when the stomach is In good work

to the tropics in the sickliest season of the

the only efficient remedy in existence
for catarrhal diseases; but there are
countless multitudes of people who are
still struggling with catarrh and need

recommendation of Pe-ru-na by Ex-
Secretary Ohley is directed. Pe-runa

1t has been suspected for some time back
that, when (f eveI) the inside truth of the
Dreyfus case comes out, it will be found
that the high rank officers and their con-
federates in political life have been all
along trying to shield somebody of much
more importance than any obscure captain
OF artillery. 1t is now limited in print
that this somebody is Dreyfus's old chief,
General de Boisdeffre, intimate friend of
General Louis BOnaparte of the Russian
army, and by report at one time high in
