The great popularity of Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many
people to initiate Peruna. A great
many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal tonics are to be found in
many drug-stores. These remedies can
be procured by the druggist much
cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only
be obtained at uniform price, and no
druggist can get it a cent cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations of
Peruna for Peruna. It is done every
day without doubt.

HOME GARDEN NOTES.
How Dlscouragement md Failure
with Berry Bushes May Be Sue
cessfully Avoided.

One finds scores of country gardens
where an attempt has been made in
previous years to cultivate the rasp-
berry, the blackberry, or, perhaps,
both, and where encouragement and
failure have resulted. A Country Gen
tleman correspondent thinks it is pos
sible so to order a few rows of berry
bushes in the family garden that they
will produce fruit year after year with
little attention, given at the right
time, and he offers the following hints
to that effect:
The old canes or the poorest of them
must be cut out each spring. The new
wood must be thinned to proper de-
gree and the tops of all canes cut back.
This is but few moments work each
spring. Now, to save all labor possible,

CREAM WILL NOT CHURN.
Advice to Farmer Who Has q jersey
the Milk of Which Will Not
Make Butter.

Cases like the above are rare,
though they occasionally occur
Sometimes it is because the cow is
too far advanced in lactation or ges-
tation. Sometimes it is because the
churning is undertaken when the
cream is at too low a temperature.
There is a great difference in cows.
The cream of some have to be at
much higher temperature to churn
than others, especially when on dry
winter feed. l once had cow that
her cream could not be churned by
itself at lower temperature than 70
degrees, while ordinarily so degrees
is high enough. The use of the Their
mometer and gradually raising the
temperature will determine IT this IS
the cause. Another cause of stubborn
churning is an excessive amount or
albumcn for viscous substance In the
milk. This can usually be remedled
by what is called washing the cream
If the cream is obtained with 4
tor, dilute it with about three
times it's own bulk of warm water
and rtln it through the separator
again. This will take out greater
part CT the viscous substance that
prevents the churning. After the
cream has been thus washed, It
should be well ripened and brought
to the proper temperature and there
will be no trouble in obtaining but
ter. At least I have never known this
to fail in such cases. If the cream
is obtained by some gravity process
the way to do would be to skim the
milk while it is sweet, then dilute 1T
with water, as in the other case, and
set it again to cream. This will ef-
fectually wash the cream, but there
would be some loss of butter in twice
settings and skimming. This last
method will work where the milk Is
set in deep cans in ice water tn
cream, but would not work where
shallow setting is used, and the
cream is soured and thickened before
skimming.-C. P. Goodrich, in Prairie

rRELL1s FOR BERRY BUSHES.

let the row of bushes be arranged in
small clumps four feet apart in the
row and protected by such trellis as is
shown in the sketch. Inch and half
stuff is used for lengthwise and up

bushes are held in compact shape by
two pieces of lath at each clump. At
distance of four feet the tops will

stalks at the ground can be worked
about with ease.
would cover the entire ground be-
tween the clumps and between the
rows, if there are two or more OF
these, with coarse meadow hay put on
thickly. This keeps down the weeds
and many berry sprouts and keeps the
ground always porous, moist and cool,

tive to raspberry and blackberry
plants. Once a year this mulch will
have to be renewed, as it gradually de-
GAYS and becomes worked int to the soil.
adding humus and making the earth
lighter, more retentive of moisture
and! richer in the material that the
berry plant requires as food.
Practically, then, the only care the
bushes need is an annual pruning and
mulching. A little attention now and
then to the few struggling weeds and
shoots that force way up through
the thick mulch will, of course, be re-
quired, but first and last there will be
less work in this way of caring for the
bushes than by any other that is or
dinarily practiced. The gradual dying
out of once thrifty bushes that one
sees in so many farm gardens is due
almost wholly to lack of proper thin
ming out and pruning and to the chok-
| ing of the bushes by grass and weeds.
