No other remedy invented by man has
ever received as much praise from men
Of high station es Peruna. Over forty
members of Congress have tried it and
recommended it to suffering humanity.
They use it themselves to guard against
the effects of the intense strain of public
life; to ward off the ill effects of the
changeable climate of Washington.
They keep it in their homes for family
use. They recommend it to their neigh
bors, and they do not hesitate in public
print to declare their appreciation and
endorsement Of this greatest of modern
remedies.

&ANY OF OUR SHEEP GOATS
Much of the Mutton Sold i'm Large
Cities Is the Meat of
AnxOraA

Among stockmen it is notorious that
a great deal of meat that is sold for
prime mutton in st. Louis, Chicago,
Louisville and Kansas City is really
Angora goat meat-just as good eat
ing and far more profitable to the
stockmen by reason of the greater
value of the fleece, mohair against
wool, says the Kansas City World.
The Angora goat-raising interest is
steadily growing throughout the
United States. Its headquarters, that
is, the headquarters of the American
Angora Goat Breeders association, are
right here in Kansas City. w. r. Nc
lntyre is the secretary of this associa-
ton. Mr.. Mcintyre says:
There are $4,000 Angora goats in
the country to-day and the business is
growing fast. 1t has all been built up
since March Il, 1891, when our associa-
ton was formed. Then, according to
government statistics, there were but
10000 Angora goats in the United
States. And not one registered. Now
we have about $4,000 registered.
"Registered goats range in price
from $40 to SIS each. Some bucks go
from $25 to $500. Plain, unregistered
animals bring from $3.50 to $5 head.
1t pays to raise any kind, but just now,
at any rate from the stud standpoint,
it is more profitable to raise registered
stock
.Angora goats do better than sheep
anywhere, but are especially better in
brush-covered sections. They are far
harder than sheep.

now, in all parts of the United States
and Canada and Mexico. We have some

TREES FROM NURSERIES.
How to Handle Them So as to Insure
Their Living When Placed in
New Locations.

1t is something of science to trans
plant trees that have been received
from distant nursery and have them
live 1t used to be thought that there
must always be a large percentage of
loss anyway-eyen under the best con-
ditions. Both the nurseiymen and the
planters have now learned that trees
Of all kinds can be handled in a way
to insure their living when placed in
their new locations. A well-packed
tree has it's roots kept moist by being
rolled in damp moss and tied up in
bace;ng. The old scheme of pulling
trees out of the ground, exposing their
roots and sending them away without
any protection was the cause of many
a tree proving a failure. When these
trees arrived at the distant station
they were thrown out on the platform
and left there exposed to the heat of
the sun and the drying effects of the
wind. In the course of time the pur-
chaser drove around and got his con-
signment, perhaps a couple of days
after their arrival. By that time their
roots were good and dry. He drove
way. Even had he set them in the best
possible way it is altogether likely
that a good many trees would have
perished owing to the drying out of
the roots. When a large part of his
trees failed to grow of course the
nurseryman was to blame--so the
buyer said. He VAS right to some ex-
tent, in that the trees were sent away
with roots not properly protected. In
sending trees isng or short distances
the roots and their moisture supply
furnish the key to the situation. Prop
er treatment of the tree from the time
1t comes out of the nursery row to the
time it goes into the place assigned to
1t in the orchard will insure. good
healthy tree. In setting hundred of
these there need be no failures

FARM WATER SYSTEM.

water We then laid one-;nch galvan-
lied iron pipe (inside measure) so inch
es under ground from spring t o kitchen
door, and put galvanized iron tank
holding one barrel of water inside
kitchen door; put an overflow pipe in
;ank and carried this pipe under ground
80 inches, half way to barn. Here we
built cistern lined up with brick and
cemented, holding 50 barrels of water.
We carry water under ground from
this cistern to barn where we have a
galvanized iron tank holding six bar
rels of water. We have a fall of ten
feet from cistern to tank at barn. In
tank at barn we have float valve that
regulates the supply of water, keeps
the tank full at all times, and a bs olute-
ly directs and manages this end of the
business without any assistance on our
part.
We put force pump in spring and a
steel tower so feet high, and an eight
foot wheel at kitchen door. The pump
is operated with triangle and when we
have a fair wind. and want water from
the spring we simply raisea leveran
set the mill in motion, and the water
(as pure as there is on earth) passes
through our kitchen at the rate of one
barrel every 80 minutes. The outfit
and the wind does the work and don't
stop to rest. While many Of our friends
and nejghbors are suffering great in
convenience and hardship forced upon
them by the unusual scarcity Of water,
we feel truly thankful that we have an
abundance. It is good thing to have
good credit at good bank. The next
best thing is to have good spring of
water on which we can draw at any
time Sam Jones says the poet was a
prophet when he wrote:
"Death rides on every passing breeze
And turks in every flower,
Each season has it's own disease,
Its perils every hour"
We realize that passing breeze in
many cases brings JOY and gladness.

Fiction in Our Libraries.

In some of the public libraries OF
the United States the percentage of
fiction called for has been reduced
below 60. Even this figure is mis-
leading. Novel devotees read three
times as fast as those who call for
books of other classes. Novels are
often skinned or returned as unsat-
isfactory after few chapers are
sampled. When the novel reading is
scaled down by this consideration
the excess of fiction taken out of
public libraries is largely reduced.

It is said ti,e.t by reasone{ he scarcity
of farm labor in Kansas, many farmers
have largely lost their wheat crop,
Tae Wilmington Messenger recently
made the following sensible editorial
observation concerning labor on the
farm and in the cities and towns:
':The scarcity OF labor on the farms
is Offset by Its overabundance In the
cities and larger towns. In the latter
there are thousands OF people wanting
work. Every vacancy is snapped up
and men are willing to work for almost
ary wages, in this manner keeping
down the wages OF those who are able
to get work. Men prefer to hang
around towns with the hope of making
precarious living to going to the coun-
try and being assured Of steady and re-
muneratlve-work. The tendency OF the
day Is ior men, especially young men,
to aba,don farm life for that of the city
