fail. can heartily recommend Pc
runa as catarrh remedy"
The spring is the time to treat ca
tarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often
retards cure of catarrh. If a course
of Peruna is taken during the early
spring months the cure will be prompt
and permanent. There can be no fail
ures if Peruna is taken intelligently
during the favorable weather of
spring.
AS q systemic catarrh remedy Pc
runa eradicates catarrh from the sys-
tenn wherever it may be located. It
cures catarrh of the stomach or bow
els with the same certainty as catarrh
of the head.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use OF
Peruna, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

When Farmer Never-mind-it found
The winter had fulfilled its span,
He hustled out, and hurried round,
And hired his neighbours extra man;
And through the spring till almost May
He frittered half his time away.
He let his broken fences lie
Just where the winds had thrown then
last; 'if
Al for the weeds, he wondered why
They got ahead Of him so fast;
But, when weed began to show,
He let It 80, and let It grow. 49,
When Farmer Perseverance sowed
His valley-gardens, rich and wide,
He mended fences, weeded. hoed, ni.-.
With all sturdy toiler's pride;
And, all the growing season through,
He said he found enough to do.
And when upon his well-kept farm
A blight would satisfy it's greed,
He made amends for every harm,
And kept ahead Of every weed;
And, II the weather fouled or cleared,
He persevered. and persevered.

New Varieties Of Potatoes.

A reader at Waterloo, Iowa, re-
quests us to state, in order to settle
a dispute, how new varieties of pota-
toes are originated. In reply we say
that the seed which may be found in
the potato balls which grow on the
vines like tomatoes, is the source OF
new varieties and the only source.
New varieties of currants, gooseber-
ries, strawberries, apples, in fact,
most of fruits are obtained in the
same manner, while the propaga-
ton of any given variety is accom-
plished by cuttings, tubers, runners,
CRAFTS, etc. Some seedmen make
a speciality of originating new varie-
ties of potatoes in the manned des-
oribed and produce thousands OF
seedlings, no one of which may be
worth propagating, for the one that
is. Potatoes of any variety which
may be Of value and become popular
usually have run of from fifteen to
twenty years, when they seem to
run out and disappear. Our older
readers will recall the time when
the Pinkeye, Western Red, Cowhorn
and Neshannock were each standard
varieties but now not to be found.

Should the Third We'll Be Plugged.

We are asked as to the equities in
the following case: Two men had ar
tesian wells which supplied their
places with plenty of flowing water.
a third man, neighbor, thought he
would have well also. He struck a
good flow of water and when his well
got to work the water stopped flow
ing in his neighbors' wells. We are
asked if this man had right to OBJ
tain water at his neighbors' expense
IN this manner. We think if it could
be conclusively proven that the put
ting down of the third well was the
sole cause OF the failure of the other
two an injunction would hold against
the owner of well No. 3, the rule in
law being that the prior appropria-
ton aud use OF the water conferred
title thereto which the law would pro-
tect. This rule applies in all irrigat-
ing matters, but. in this case there
would be trouble in establishing the
fact that the failure of the wells first
drilled was caused by the opening of
well No. 3. If this case ever got into
court the lawyers would make more
out of it than would the contestants

The Creamery Separator Cali.

We passed by pasture lot recently
In which were twenty spring calves
upon which the creamery separator
had got in its work. With well-fed
calves of their age readily bringing
$40 each, these would have been dear
at $3.50. Unfortunately, unlike the
poor little bottle babies of the cities,
the calves did not die when fed sour
separator milk and will live to foo
some sucker who tries to make beef
out of the steers, or some dairyman
who is content with a 1875 ID. COW
who gets the heifers. We do not say
that good calves cannot be raised
on creamery separator milk, but we
do know that the average calf SO
raised carries the separator brand
upon him till the day of his death.

A friend brings us in large ear of
corn, or rather cob, having only a
scattered dozen or so kernels set ir-
regularly upon it. 1t is lack of pol
lenization, the extreme heat during
July having killed the tassel or
stamen of the corn flower to such an
extent in the field that there was not
pollen enough produced to fertilize
the field. There will be found much
such corn this year.

Weather Fakes.

A friend writes us criticising us for
treating the long-range weather
prophets with so much irreverence
and lack Of respect, and appeals to
us to know whether they are not
sometimes right in their forecasts
and representations. We do not
care to discuss this matter at length
in these notes. Any fool can guess
on the weather and be right part
of the time. We will only repeat
what we have heretofore said in these
notes, viz, the weather service of the
government, based upon telegraphic
reports of temperature, humidity,
barometrical pressure and the know
ledge possessed of the law of storm
movements, constitutes the only reir
able basis Of any weather forecast.
These forecasts it is well to heed, for
they are based on common sense
principles, but when some old crank,
hairy and idiotic, essays to forecast
weather conditions based on sun
spots, star orbits and lunar changes,
and gets of mess about perheli9ns,
conjunctions and all sorts of stellar
rot, no sensible man should waste
moments time on him or pay the
least regard to his twaddle. For
fact the American people should have

We are asked why more turnips are

We are asked why more turnips are
not raised stock food in the terri
tory comprised in the corn belt. The
climatic condition which insures good
crops of corn are simply fatal to the
turnip, which must have cool, meist
climate to insure its perfect develop
ment. Thus England and New Zea-
land naturally become the great tur-
nip-producing countries. The best
turnips produced in America come
from Canada. We do not regard the
inability to raise turnips as misfor-
tune; the crop involves much hand
labor, and corn ensilage will give all
and more than can be obtained from
any root crop, with infinitely less
trouble in preparing and feeding.

North Slepes.

We have never before been able to so
clearly note the advantage of north
slope for orchard, garden, pasture or
growing crop as during the heated
term of the past month of July.
Wherever crops of any kind had the
advantage of this sort of a location
they almost entirely escaped damage
from the excessive heat and the hot
south winds. In field of oats the
crop was more than double on the
north slope of the field; applies were
not baked on the trees and corn was
uniniured.

Nothing is all wrong, not even our
seeming calamities. The best crops
of winter wheat are where the corn
has been hurt the worst, late planted
corn was benefited rather than hurt
by the extreme heat of July, drouthy
conditions always promote soil fer
tility which is shown in succeeding
crops, and increased prices for farm
products often offset any shortage Of
crop. Look on the bright side and
let your neighbors do the whining.

1t is by no.means an extravaganza
to say that not less than forty horses
persisted from the heat in every
county in the settled north and west
during the heated period of July.
They persisted on dray and wagon,
on harvester and mower by the score,
their owners and drivers forgetting
that man can endure excessive heat
far better than horse.
