Winter is half over. People are con-
tinuing to catch colds, and not house
but hears the winter cough. People
are trying to get something to cure
these troubles which are almost inev-
liable at this time of the year. 1t can
safely be said that nine-tenths of the
people in the United States have a
cold some time during the winter.
There is one remedy which will pre-
vent colds and cough and cure them
with certainty when contracted. This
remedy is Peruna. Taken with regu-
larity during the winter months, it will
entirely prevent colds, coughs, la
grippe, consumption, bronchitis or
pneumonia. It will also cure without
failure, catarrh and recent cases of

THE STRAWBERRY BED.
Some Suggestions on How to ca cry
the Plants Successfully Through
the Winter.

Still another inquiry comes about
the winter care of Strawberries. All
such questions are very timely just
now. The strawberry bed should be
where no water can settle during the
winter. If there is the least danger,
dig shallow channels around your
bed, and, if necessary, through it..
Now cover with such material as
you find most convenient-either
sawdust or cut straw or compost.
The latter should be well decomposed
mixture, and it will do no harm if
here is a proportion of coal ashes
in the pile. Autumn leaves make an
excellep, covering, but must not be
laid on too thickly. You can hold
them in place with the canes cut
from your raspberries. Remove
these ard burn in the spring. Saw
dust is & first rate material. especial
ly after it has been used for bedding
in horse stables. In the spring it
need not be removed. except to rake
thin on the plants and leave it in the
path. A good compost .:an be treat
ed in the same way. Strawberries
must not be covered so thickly as to
hide the tips of the leaves. We are
gradually getting varieties with roots
strong enough to prevent 1heir heav-
ing in the winter. We may be able
to entirely dispense with covering
when this evolution ia carried lit
tie further.-N. Y. Tribune

THE ART OF BUDDING,
Every Fruit Grower Should Be an
Expert in 1t, Because 1t Leads
to Success.

Budding consists in taking bud
from one tree and inserting it under
the bark of another tree. The union
of the two, the oud and the stock,
take place at the edge of the bark
of the inserted bud. For this rea-
son the bud should be inserted as
soon as cut from it's twig and before
it has time to dry out. The bud
should also be full, plump and well
matured. The stock should be in
active growth, so that the bark will
Sip easily. In cutting the bud
sharp knife is required, as clean
smooth cut is desirable. The knife
is inserted half inch above and
brought out the same distance be-
low, shaving out the small wedge of
wood under the bed along with the
bark. The wedge is no hindrance
to the union and should not be re-
moved. The leaf is always clipped
off. To insert the bud make a T.
shaped incision just through the
bark. Raise the bark carefully
without breaking it, insert the bud.
Practice will give ease and dispatch
to the operation. The nud must he
held firmly to the stock both above
and below it, being careful to leave
the eye of the bud uncovered. Raffia,
bass, candle wick, or waxed cloth
may be used for tying. In about ten
days if the bud takes, the bandage
must be removed, or the stock will
be strangled and the growth him

PLANTING OF TREES.
A System That He's Proved of Much
Benefit Wherever 1t Has Bccn
Given a Trial.

On our up-to-date farm we set out
early to 10 what little we could toward
keeping the wooded part of the place
intact. Ne began by setting out few
trees every spring. The first were set
some IL years ago, along the roadside,
and to-day they are fine trees. large
enough to cast quite shadow. Some
of those near the house look beautiful
now. They are all sugar naples. These
grow little slower than any other,
perhaps, but they are the best trees
for shade that we have.
Then, too, when we have been clear
ing up brush lots in the pastures, we
have left every hard maple and ash and
chestnut. It has been understood that
every such tree was sacred. No de-
stroying ak was to be touched to it,
unless to trim it up and make it more
beautiful. The result is we have nice
row of naples along the highway and
about the house. They are source of
pleasure to us all. Not only that, they
do little toward keeping the climate
of our country healthful and lessen
the danger from floods.
Every farmer ought to do something
in this direction. If he cuts down
tree he ought to set out another one.
Work he never will get any benefit
from, do you say? How much such
work we must do first and last! A
large part of the farmers work is for
the flfIra He nevar knows uho will
reap where he sows. Tomorrow some
new man may come to take up the work
where he laid it down. All right. Ben
efactors know they never can eat the
fruit of their labor. The farmers are
the worlds greatest benefactors. They
ought not to stay their hands from
planting trees that others may sit I'M
der their shadow.-Up-to-Date Farm

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

A large orchard poorly planted and
poorly tended will not produce as
good results as fewer trees well cul-
tivated.
1t is p good deal more trouble to set
trees N straight row than in a
crooked one, but they look better and
are more easily cultivated.
Many unoccupied fence corners
might he growing trees if set there.
In Few years they would be a
source of beauty and comfort.
When cultivating an orchard, care
should be taken not to plant a crop
that requires too deep cultivation or
too deep digging to harvest it.
Thrifty young trees are more apt
to live than the larger ones. Their
roots are smaller and more apt to
be all taken up in transplanting.
Whenever root grating is used in
the winter the plants should not be
set out in the spring unless the
CRAFTS have grown together.-Rural

An old Error Corrected.

It is a common notion with dairy
men that warm milk will not absorb
bad odors; that the milk must cool
somewhat before that effect can take
place. Some time away back, some
body made that statement, and, like
most errors, it has had a vitality OF
it's own. Especial experiments made
at the Wisconsin experiment station,
as well as the close observation OF
discerning farmers, have proved the
fallacy OF this notion. Therefore
If dairymen desire to save their milk
from absorbing foul odors, they
must keep its surroundings free from
odor, whether the milk is warm o;
cold.

Vegetables from Cuba.

The appearance of Cuban vege-
tables in the Chicago market per-
haps marks the beginning of a. con
siderable trade in vegetables raised
on that island. Hitherto we have
looked upon the Antilles as produc-
ers of fruits for our markets as well
as OF sugar and tobacco. This year
there Lave appeared also onions, to-
matoes, potatoes and squashes. With
good transportation facilities this
trade may become considerable. The
Island Of Cuba has immense adj
vantages in the way of climate that
place her ahead Of anything on our
mainland, at certain seasons of the
year. It may be that some time
these islands will become the great
winter garden of the United States
the Lot bed also in which are to be
started the plants that are later to
develop in northern gardens. In fact,
under scientific treatment, the
amount of produce that could be
raised on these tropical islands is al
most beyond computation.
