A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
It is more often, however, the cause
of some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body
but what is liable to become seriously
deranged by . neglected cold. Diseas-
es of the kidneys, bladder and digestive
organs are all frequently the result Of a
neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on
doctors and medicines trying to cure
these diseases, but until the true cause
of them is discovered there will be no
use in using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi-
cine and constipation medicine is OF
no good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The catarrh must be treated.
The cause being removed, the derange-
ments will disappear.
Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive
organs, the urinary organs or any OF the
internal organs.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use Of Peruna

HERMIT OF BOG MOUNTAIN.
Cuts Ten Tons of Hay Yearly and Gets
1t In ON a WheelbarrOw.

1t In on a WheelbarrOw.
At the base of Bog Mountain is a
farm under cultivation. owned and
carried on by Silas Prescott. There is
no highway leading into this place.
About seventy-ive years ago there
was a large family Of boys, sons of
Samuel Prescott. settled on or near
Prescott Hill. One Of these. Josiah,
about sixty years ago cleared up a
few acres of tillage and built a house
at the base Of Bog Mountain. Much
Of the lumber he carried on his back
from the highway, a distance of half
a mile. He lived there the remain
ing part of his life. Five children were
born On this farm.
One Of them, Silas B., now 81 years
of age, has always lived on the birth
place. His father died in 1876 and his
mother in 1891. Mr.. Prescott lives
alone, the town giving him his taxes
on condition that he ask for no high
way.
A reporter called upon him and as
certained that he lived alone. had ten
acres Of tillage. cut about ten tons
of hay, and gets it in on a wheelbar-
row. His great hobby is keeping bees
and he has the business down fine,
some years receiving large returns.
This year the bees are failure rs
to honey. They are SO tame with him
that he can spread honey on his face,
lie down on the grass and the bees will
come and take the honey away and do
not sting him. He handles them with
out any fear.
Mr.. Prescott says he never gets
lonely. He spends a great deal of
time in hunting and fishing, and in the
season for them gets very many
skunks. He says he has caught as
four Of these odoriferous animals in a
night without dog. He takes Ian
tern on his arm and sets out for a
nights hunt. A bride path leads from
the fourth New Hampshire turnpike
to his place. The darkest or stormiest
night has no terror for him.
Mr.. Prescott once won bag of meal
on wager that he could carry it home,
a distance of two miles. letting down
and putting up two pairs Of bars him.
self, without setting the meal down.
For diet he uses crackers, canned
goods, fish, game. and berries in their
season.
The reporter asked him how he
would like woman to keep house for
him. He had good many '.ifs" in
his answer. He seemed to enjoy his
mode Of living as well as any he could
have. In winter he cuts some wood
and lumber, but summer or winter,
work is not allowed to interfere with
his interest in sport or recreation.

Mustard in Grain Fields.


The plant referred to scarcely needs
description, as it Is SO common, al
though the accompanying illustration
will impress the reader with it's iden-

leaves soft, somewhat resembling those
of rape, cabbage, turnips, ETC.; in fact
mustard belongs to the same family of
plants as those named. 1t Is one Of the
most serious of all the weed pests. This
is due to the fact that 1t ripens its seed
before most of the cereals, SO that the
ground is again seeded down for an
other year. But this is not all. The
seeds are so oily in their nature that

The Farmers Telephone.

The Farmers Telephone.
A surprising thing is the development
of the telephone system among the
farmers here ON the prairies, says a
correspondent in Nebraska. An indie
pendent telephone company has been
extending its lines from town to town
and village to village. The result is
that farmers living from FIVE to ten
miles from town are connected and
within speaking communication with
doctor, storekeeper, bank. grain buy
er, etc. Farmers telephone into town
in the morning for the price Of grain,
and If they like it they drive in with a
load or two. For, their telephones the
farmers pay from 81 to $3.50 month,
and as time-savers they are said to be
worth from ten to twenty times their
cost. At the rate the telephone sys-
TEN Is now being developed it will not
be more than couple of years till
nearly every farmer in Nebraska is on
the wire. With cheap telephones, rural

trict schools into central buildings.
where there are several rooms, as
many teachers and grading pupils,
modern life in the rural regions is not

Evaporated or Dried Potatoes.

"Dried potatoes" Is the name of a
new product evolved by the South Car
olina Agricultural Experiment Station.
The potatoes are boiled, peeled and
.evaporated in cannery, and will re-
main in perfect condition for years. The
preserved potato becomes fit for eating
after being soaked in warm water for
an hour. Like many other new ideas,
this promises to be big thing, and its
development may have great effect on
the vast potato fields of northern Maine.
1t is reported that an acre Of potatoes
yielded 1851 bushels, which made 105
bushels OF the dried product, nearly a
pound to 31A pounds Of the raw product.
Although the report we have does not
say anything about 1t, probably the
sweet potatoes can be subjected to the
same Professionalism Cultivator.
