The only safe course to take is to keep
the blood pure, digestion good, and sleep
regular. No remedy equals, in all re-
spects. Peruna for these purposes. If
the system is run down and weakened
by catarrh, .Peruna renovates and re-
juvenates the nerves and brain.
A book on the catarrhal diseases Of
summer will be mailed to any address,
upon request, by the Peruna Medicine
Co., Columbus, Ohio
The above testimonials are only two
of so, 900 letters received touching the
merits of Peruna as catarrhal tonic.
No more useful remedy to tone up the
system has ever been devised by the
medical profession.

Feeding Farm Horse, 4,

Prot. G. w. Burkett OF the New
Hampshire experiment station has
been conducting some experiments in
the feeding Of horses. The investi.
cation included the amount Of water
consumed, the cost Of feeding and the
method Of feeding. The trials extend
ed over two years. The amount Of
water consumed was recorded In all
the tests. Both the ration consumed
and the amount Of work performed
influence the quantity of water drunk
by workhorses, although the individ-
uality Of the horse has the most
marked effect. In the present inves-
tgation the quantity of water varied
from 25,S95 pounds to 32,997 pounds
per year. Following are the princi-
pal conclusions drawn by the author:
Any food stun or combination of
foodstuffs furnishing the desirable
nutriment at least cost should be con.
sidered in preparing rations for
horses.
A mixture Of bran and corn, half
and half, is good substitute for corn
and oats for feeding work horses.
Corn slower is a good substitute for
timothy hay for winter feeding of
horses because Of its feeding value,
the yield per acre, and commercial
value.
A change from a grain mixture,
consisting partially of linseed-oil
meal, slowly or abruptly, does not
cause a decrease in weight in horses
II a proper substitute ration is fed.
The average cost per year for act.
uaf food supply per horse was $74.32.
The average cost for feed per
hours work done during two years
was 34 cents.

Benefit Of Grinding Grain.

Twenty head Of young grade calves
were purchased by the Kansas Expert
ment station during April and May,
1901. The feed Of these calves was
gradually changed to skim milk, with
what grain they would eat, composed
of mixture of whole and ground
Kaffir corn. On June 10, these calves
We're divided into two lots. as nearly
equal as possible, the lot to receive
ground Kaffir corn weighing 1870
pounds, or 1877 pounds per calf, and the
one to receive whole Kafir corn
weighed 1877 pounds, or 1879 pounds
per head. Each lot was fed all the
skim milk, grain and hay the calves
would eat without securing.
Ground Kaffir Corn Lot.-For the
112 days under experiment, these ten
calves consumed 14,74S pounds OF
skim milk, 1894 pounds Of ground
Kafir corn, 1881 pounds Of prairie
hay, 125 pounds orchard grass hay,
and 6,222 pounds alfalfa hay. The to-
tai gain of the lot during the expert
ment was 1850 pounds, or 1.41 pounds
daily per calf. With skim milk at Is
cents per hundred weight, grain at so
cents per hundred weight (plus 8 cents
per bushel or 6 cents per hundred
weight for grinding). and hay at 81
per ton. the feed cost Of raising these
calves amounts to $47.s7. or $4.73 per
head. The cost per hundred pounds
of gain is as follows: Skim milk, $1.40;
grain, 30.49; roughness. S1.10; total

Feeding Stock in Idaho.


From Farmers Review: The con-
dition of ranges here is good this year.
They consist of bunch grass, brance,
and a short grass that comes in the
spring and sometimes in the fall, if we
have the rains to start it. All the
ranges that lie next to the valleys are
pretty we'll fed off for from ten to f1f-
teen miles north and northeast. From
that on the range increases in good
ness for 100 miles or more 1t is
stocked with cattle, horses and sheep
more sheep than any other stock,
which are owned in flocks of 5000 to
10000, divided up into bands con-
venient for one man to care for and
then a camp tender looks after the
wants of the several bands. AS a gen.
eral thing stock are taken from the
feed yards in March to the ranges and
brought back in November or Decem-
Der to the feed yards, where hay can
be bought for 81 to IS per ton in one
hundred-ton lots. Horses winter on
the ranges without any feeding al
most every season, and so do cattle in
some places. The horses consist OF
common range stock. Some good cat
tie are being brought and lots OF
blooded sheep are being placed on the
range. We have good wool market
and that, like our beef and mutton, is
shipped either east or west, but our
horses generally go cast. The blood.
ed stock are more tender than native
animals and need more care, but they
bring better price-Jason Hallock

Fruit Notes.

Fruit Notes. h,
From the most recent weekly re-
ports issued by the Climate and Crop
Service, Of the Weather Bureau, we
gather the following Information con-
corning fruit prospects,:
Georgia Peaches, apples. pears
and plums continue to rot and these
fruits are below normal In quality and
quantity. The dry weather has given
. decided set back to theHwater melon
crop.
Illinois. The apple i crop ranges
from very poor to very fine. In some
localities the prospects have been Inn
proved by the rain. Though in some
places the peach prospects are fair,
tney are generally very poor.

With poor to medium yields, affording
an ample supply for home use in most
localities, but not many for market.
Peaches continue to drop freely, ex-
oept in the southeast where they are
holding fairly well and still promise
moderately good yields. Some aprt
cots are now ripe in Prince Georges
county. Japan plums are ripenfng in
Cecil. and are falling OF freely in
Anne Arundel.
Michigan.-Cherries are yielding
only moderately and in some cases
poorly. Plums indicate q light crop,
but apples, pears and peaches com
tinue promising.
Missouri.-The apple crop continues
to decline and little more than one.

Bitter Rot of the Apples.

A word now should be said upon
the common name. Very commonly
the infected flesh of an apple is dis
tinctly bitter to the taste, but there is
much variation in this. Sometimes
the bitterness is very slight, in other
cases almost equal to quinine. But
such bitterness sometimes results
also from other causes. Other fungi
produce Similar taste in the affected
fruit, though those usually attacking
stored apples have no such effect. The
musty flavor due to common molds is
altogether different. If the word Bit
ter is not always characteristic, the
word rot is not especially appropriate.
The affected tissues are never slushy-
soft. There is indeed no extra ac-
emulation or Incorporation of water.
The spot is hard and firm and at
length becomes sunken somewhat
from the shrinkage of the drying pulp
of the fruit. There is no odor. The
apple seems to be converted into a
semi-woody substance which is re-.
sistent Of decay. It is in this condi-
ton that the shriveled fruit remains
for year or more attached by its
dead stem to the twig, or endures for
a similar length of time upon the
ground. If. however, the affected
fruit is neither constantly bitter nor
really rotten, still the name is as ap-
propriate as any that can probably be
found and is certainly better than
that of ripe rot' which has been pro-
posed.-Prof. T. ]. Burrill.
Bitter rot of the apple is directly
due to q vegetable parasite which,
starting from spore lodged upon the
surface of the apple or in puncture
made by other instrumentalities,
grows in the pulpy tissues OF the
fruit and in a few days bears another
crop. Of spores, by means Of which
the process may be indefinitely re-
peated.

How Plants Use Carbon.

SSS
A bulletin of the Virginia station
says: During the hours of sunshine
all growing plants which feed directly
upon soil and air must have their as
Stimulating chlorophyll-bearing cells
continually in contact with chang.
ing volume Of air, in order that the
carbon, which makes up SO large a
part of their dry weight, may be oh.
tanned in sufficient quantity from the
carbonic acid gas in the atmosphere.
But the more recent analyses of air
show that on the average it contains
but one part of carbonic acid by
weight in 1000 parts. Now. how
much air must field of clover breath
In order that it may produce two tons
of hay per acre? Let us see.
Boussingault found by analysis that
$500 pounds of clover hay harvested
from an acre Of ground contained no
less than 1850 pounds of carbon, and
as this was derived almost wholly
from the carbonic acid in the air, ii
must have decomposed 616O pounds
of carbonic acid in order to procure
it. But as there is only one pound
of carbonic acid in 1000 of air, it
follows that 12,320,O0O pounds OF air
must have yielded up the whole of its
carbonic acid gas in order to supply
the needed amount of carbon. Now.
one cubic foot Of air at pressure OF
1892 inches and at a temperature OF
81 degrees F. weighs .OSO72S pounds.
and this being true, not less than
152,600,0OO cubic feet of air must have
been required to meet the demands OF
this clover field for carbonic acid
This amount of air would cover the
acre to depth Of 3,503 feet. having
