Mr.. C. L. Smith of 300 Anne ST., the
Sec'y. of the Trades Council has writ
ten this startling statement for pub
tication.
II feel it my duty to make public
the facts of my recent illness and re-
covery. I was very sick and sore, and
had to walk with the aid of two
canes. 1t was very painful attack,
but I don't know what it was. Some
said it was Lumbago, and others that
it was Sciatica or Rheumatism.
II was told to take Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and began treatment. After
I had used one box could walk with
one cane, and after two boxes we're
used could walk without any help.
I kept on and three boxes cured me
completely.
IT am now we'll and happy without
a pain or an ache and can very truly
say that Dodd's Kidney Pills are
worthy of my greatest praise"

PRUNING CHERRY TREES.

Authorities on the subject have
fallen into the habit of saying that
cherry trees need practically no
pruning whatever" Of course this is
general statement, which, like most
general statements, does not contain
oil the truth or all the facts. 1t is
somewhat misleading also, to the in
experienced fruit grower; for he,
naturally, is inclined to apply such
a rule to every cherry tr@ ON his
farm, regardless of variety, age or
condition. My own observation and
experience convince me that most
cherry trees need regular and sys-
tematic pruning until the bearing
age is reached. After that, if the
first five or six years trimming has
been properly attended to, very little
if any pruning is required.
Commercial cherry orchards are
rarely seen in Michigan or Ohio, but
in New York state, California, Idaho,
ETC., cherry culture has received
much attention. Personally take
great pride and pleasure in little
block of so trees which set with my
own hands four years ago. The vari-
cites are mostly Montmorency and
Early Richmond. with few sweet
varieties such as Gov. Wood, Windsor

For four years this little cherry or.
chard has received the same care and

MAKING FARM HurBED.,

The site for q bed should be ona
slope facing south, and if sheltered
on the north and west BY buildings
or grove SO much the better. Mark
a space on the ground ut least one
foot larger each way than the sash
to be used. Throw out earth to the
depth of two feet, which should DO
done in the fall. Fill this with horse
manure having plenty of litter in it.
Tramp it down firmly. Make frame
the size of the sash, set it over the
pit, and put the sash on; if the
frame is built so the sash fits inside,
and cleats are nailed on the inside
inch from the top to hold it, the sash
cannot blow off or slip out of place.
The north end sash should be from
four to six inches higher than the
south end. Bank round the outside
of frame with horse manure. The
heat at first will be too intense, but
when it has subsidized to about so de-
grees put on five or six inches OF
the best soil obtainable, and sow
the seed. Keep the temperature at
from 70 to IS degrees in the day
time, and do not let it get below IS
at night. At night it may have to
be covered with blankets or mats IT
very cold. Do not remove sashes to
give air Immediately after removing
covering or the plants will damp Off.
Make the hotbed about April l and
sow in It tomatoes and peppers.
Sometimes it is best to start plants
in boxes in the house, then about
April 20 make hotbed and trans
plant into it, giving each plant from
four to six inches space each way
In this way tomatoes will be in bios.

Nothing is gained by putting them
out as long as it is cold and frost

give plenty of air on warm sunny
days. I lost fine lot of plants one
spring by neglecting to raise the

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Do not any longer put off getting
your garden seeds.
Cut away old and dead portions OF
the raspberry, blackberry, currant
and gooseberry bushes.
The average cost of growing an acre
of sugar beets in Colorado, exclusive
of rent of land, is about $50.
Sunlight let into gooseberry bushes
will reduce the number of those that
produce widowed berries.
Make up list of plants and bushes
needed this spring to keep up the as
sortment in your berry patch and to
replace the dead and dying.
Under proper culture and protection
from fire Norway spruce can in 25 or
80 years be grown of sufficient size to
furnish crop of wood for paper pulp.
The berry patch can be cleaned out
now with less work than at any time
between now and this time next year
Don't forget this till the bushes are all
leaved out.
A strawberry grower found that by
removing one-third of the berries from
the vines, allowing only the best to
grow, he got one-third more berries
by the measure, and that when sold in
market they not only paid for the

desire to purchase lands; they can be

what the correspondent referred to
has to say of one particular district.
To- the Editor Of the Leaders:
''The rush of the land seekers will
be to the prairie provinces of the Do
minion of Canada. The allurements of
a soil that yields 40 bushels of wheat
to the acre are too great to be resist
ed, and an immense migration from
this country may be confidently pre-
dicted. People here laughed at first
at the idea of any one leaving the
United States for Canada, but the Do
minion authorities knew they had a
good thing and they stuck toit. Their
officials evidently knew the value of
printers ink. They spared no ex-
pense in letting the people of this
country know that these lands were
there and that they were exactly as
represented. They did more. They
sent out specimens of the crops raised
and samples of the grain. We have had
them here at four consecutive street
fairs, presided over by one of their
ablest immigration officers. This gen.
tleman spared no pans. He explained
the value of the lands and the richness
of the soil from morning to night to
all corners.
'.All this told in the long run. Sew.
eral went up from here to spy out the
land, and, like Caleb, the SON of Jepun
neh, and Joshua, the son Of Nun
brought back good report, and now
some ten families will leave here in 8
few weeks for Saskatoon to settle
upon farms there, and others are pre-
pairing to follow. OF course many will
appear shocked at the idea of any
one leaving the stars and stripes fol
the Union Jack, but patriotism is bu
nomenclature after all, and our ex
perience has been that in nine hun
bred and ninety-nine cases out of .
thousand, man is the most patriotic

The treatment of this disease by
fungicides has not proved successful
up to the present time, and until some
better means of combating this pest is
found, the best plan will be to starve
it out of the soil by growing other
crops upon which it cannot thrive. The
same land should not be used for cab
bage and allied species oftener than
once in three or four years. All mate
rails, such as stumps of cabbage and
root trimmings of turnips, which are
capable of spreading the disease,
should be destroyed.-Midland Farmer

A S spring medicine Peruna is a
n never failing remedy. 1t cleanses
n the blood through digestion, and
gives tone to the whole system by in
creasing the nutritive value of the
food. "Spring fever as it is some
times called, which produces tired
out, sleepy feeling, and inability to do
much mental or physical work, is the
result of a sluggish digestion.
The great popularity that Peruna
has is due to the fact that in all such
cases it at once corrects digestive de-
rangements and enriches the blood by
purifying this very important source
of that vital fluid.

to-day 1 would not take 500 for the

mistaken, and if live long enough,

fully within the bounds of reason,

But, of course, to attain such sue

soil and climate congenial, and the
details of cultivation must all be at

ing is one of the essential details. It
is true, however, that cherry trees
require much less pruning than do
other fruit trees. A very little suf-
