In many parts of our country ex-
tensive peat beds or peat swamps
exist. In some cases the farmers con-
tent themselves with cutting the wild
vegetation that grows on them, while
in others attempts have been made at
cultivation. It seems to the writer
that greater value would be given
to them if they were made the sources
of absorbents for the stable and the
cesspools. Where the fertility from
the latter places are to be used why
should not dry peaty soil be used in
suficient quantities to hold all of the
liquids and prevent the escape of
gases? The same might be suggested
for the sink drains.
Where peat is to be used in this way
it must be first dug and dried A good
way is to start drain through the
peat swamp, casting the peat up high
on either side. Let this dry in the
sun for some months. Peat Is such
great absorbent that it contains
from 80 to 80 per cent of water. When
it dries out it will have the power of
again absorbing approximately the
amount it has lost The beauty of
it's absorbing power is that. it holds
its matter in a fairly moist condition
and does not burn up what it is given
to retain.
More than that, the peat itself is
composed Of half decayed vegetable
matter and the action of the chemicals
in the manure hastens the decay of
the peat and lets loose the nitrogen.
Where farmers can purchase this peat
Of their neighbors at mere nominal
sum it appears to be a wise thing to
do to secure all that can be used as
an absorbent about the farm.
The Farmers Review will be pleased
to hear from its readers that have
used peat as to their methods of hand
ling it, especially in the making of
composts.

In recent letter from 5000 Michi-

my wife, as many in the southwest
can say, was troubled with a bad cough
and bronchial trouble, and doctors all
over the country gave her up to die,
as they could do nothing more for her.
She began taking Peruna with the re-
suit that she is better now than she
has been in years, and her cough has
almost left her entirely. The soreness
has left her lungs and she is as we'll
