Why is it that the blood gets out of order
in the spring? This is directly due to the
almost inevitable indigestion of spring. Dur
ing the winter months much more food Is
required TO protect the body against the
vcisSitudes of the climate Digestion has
been prodded to its utmost.
AS spring approaches the system requires
less and soon becomes clogSed by excess OF
nutrition. This loads the blood with un-
necessary nutritive material. Very quickly
the digestive organs themselves become de-
ranged. Except by the strctest diet this
cannot be avoided.
A catarrhal condition of the whole diges-
tive tract very quickly results. Peruna re-
stores digestion by bringing the mucous
membranes of the stomach and other di-
gestive organs into Il normal condition.
This Immediately clears the blood of all su.
perfuouS material.

in some cities, is radically wrong. Milk
consumers are often informed through
the pubic press that certain dealers
have been prosecuted for selling adul-
terated, preserved or otherwise impure
milk and they get so much informa-
ton Of this kind that they are led to
believe that milk is a dangerous article
of food and should be avoided as much
as possible. It seems to us entirely
practicable to give prominence to the
well-conducted dairies, so that the
public will also be occasionally re-
minded that it is possible to obtain
pure milk, In doing this, it is not
necessary to lessen the vigilance over
the dishonest dealers.
There is coming a decided change
in the whole character of dairy work.
Every year dairymen and butter and
c~heesemakers are becoming better
posted and no cause is working to this
end with better results than the dairy
associations and schools. These agen-
cies, which are similar to influences in
other states, are helping to lift the pro-
fession to a more dignified position
than it has held.

Improvement. in Dairy Methods.

r. A. Pearson of the Department OF
Agriculture at Washington. says:
The dairy industry has not been
backward in making changes in the
past few decades. This is a fact of
common observation, and it is plainly
shown by statistics. In 1850 the cheese
output of the country was about 100,-
000,0 pounds and only a small part
of this was made in the five factories
then in existence. It is estimated that
the census just completed will show
that the amount of cheese made in the
United States has increased to 100000
900 pounds, IS per cent of it now being
made in factories. Thus we see that in
cheesemaking the change from farm to
factory methods has been almost com
plete. In 1850 the butter output was
nearly ACC, 000, 900 pounds, all of which
was made on farms. It is believed the
last n will show the annual output
of butter to have increased to 1,400,-
000, 600 pounds, one-ffth of which was
made in factories. There is yet an i'm
mense amount of farm dairy butter on
u markets and much of 1t is sold at
a low price, which means a tremendous
loss to those who make ii. High grade
butter is made in some farm diaries,
but a large part of farm dairy butter,
packed in various forms is purchased
by dealers for renovation.
Every dairyman is more or less ia
miliar with changes in apparatus and
methods which have been made in his
own line of work. The method of but
termaking is being almost revolution.

Saving ~S1,250.OOO In Gold from Steam

When the big American line steam

fog on the Jersey beach, near the lower
end of Long Branch, before daylight

including the gold, were heavily in
sured. After it was found that it was
going to be very difficult to float the
big ship the consignees of the gold,
who needed it in their business, APP
pealed to Captain Clark as Llyod's New
York agent to have it landed. 1t re-
manned aboard the vessel three days;
the fact of it being there rendered the
underwriters liable for a heavier tax
in the event of the vessel being float
ed. Naturally the American line di1
not make any strenuous efforts to have
Inc pulilOu uloClldISSu, anu just as
naturally Lloyds were anxious to get
it off as quickly as possible, for in the
event of a storm arising and causing
the destruction of the ship the gold
would have added so much more to the
loss of the underwriters. Captain
Clark chartered a steamer and offered
to take charge of the gold and land it.
Thereupon the captain obtained a.
promise that the gold would be landed
Immediately. Thus the underwriters
were relieved of the further risk and
expense of floating the stranded ship.
The gold was transferred to the lighter
