whether Peruna can be relied on to
cure all such cases. During the many
years in which Peruna has been put to

this remedy to greater test than the
past year.
Peruna is the acknowledged catarrh

acid phosphate. This is the product
that is made by grinding and then
treating with sulphuric acid the
phosphate rock that is mined in GER
tain places in South Carolina, Flori'
da,Tennessee and Canada. 1t contains
not far from IA per cent. OF phos'
phoric acid, and the rest is largely
eulphate of lime, which is also called
gypsum, and when ground is known
as land plaster and is bought and ap-
piled to land because of the chemical
effect it has upon other elements,
causing them to become available
plant foods. Now, when this dis
solved phosphate rock is sprinkled
about the animals, it too absorbs the
nitrogen, somewhat the same as does
the kainit, purifying the stables and
making most excellent manure out
of what would otherwise have been
largely waste and also nuisance
If one quart is used for each horse
or COW each day, 1t will be found
about right.
If these simple things are done on
any farm, they will prove about the
most profitable ways to get these
highly useful plant foods, potash and
phosphoric acid, into the soil. They
| will be mixed with the farm manures
and balance them up materially; for
they are both needed to reinforce
| materials that are often quite want
ing in both potash and phosphorio
| acid. The absorbents are badly need
ed and the benefits from this point
alone are often worth all they cost
There is a double gain, and those
who do not use one or both OF them
are making a mistake. OF the two

STICK TO ONE LINE OF WORK.
of Work to Which He IN Adapt
ed that Succeeds.

When prices for farm products are
low farmers are apt to complain, and
to seek for something that for the
time at least seems to offer more
adequate compensation for their eff
forts.
All kinds of business has its ups
and downs, SO called "of years"
when the supply equals the demand
and prices are low. Very often there
is no money made during times OF
depression and low prices, and the
man who is constantly changing, in
search of something that brings
more money usually gets established
at about the time when there is an
over-production and low prices, and
away he goes chasing some other
hig-priced commodity.
Such man never stops long
enough at any one line Of endeavor
to allow anything to stick to him,
and is always poor and discontinued.
It is the man who chooses some line
of work best suited to his conditions
and environments, and then applies
himself studiously and intelligently
for a term of years in building up
and making strong his chosen line OF
work that succeeds.
Such a man is fortified against low
| prices and hard times, because he 10
possessed of the knowledge and wis
dom that comes from a close and
steady application of the mind in one
direction. He is patient. resource
full, and knows how to manage his
business and to produce at the least
| possible cost. He meets competition
and low market conditions cheerfully
because he does not figure profits for
one year only, but for ten years, or
perhaps lifetime, and while prices
at times leave but small margin of
profit, if any at all, he is always IN
the market when prices are high with
a well finished product.
"That old saying, "Hew to the
line," applies to the farmer and his
business. Life is short and no man
can master any one line OF agricul
ture and should not engage In then
all. It is better not to drift about
! but to be conservative and steady
and instead of widening the field Of
operations, apply more thought ant
better methods to the task in hand

SAVING OF FARM MANURES
How to Save and Utilize the Escap-
ing Gases From the Barn.
yard Manure Pile.

Within the last year there has
come more forcibly than ever to my
attention one point about the saving
OF farm manures that think should
be well understood by every farmer.
l have long known that there is a
waste of nitrogen about almost every
stable. The bad odors are tell-tale
evidence of this fact. It is nitrogen
escaping into the air that causes the
most of the foul smells that pollute
the air about our premises, and this
is one of the very ingredients that
we ought to preserve. When it gets
into the air it is gone beyond our
reach. How to prevent these IN
wholesome and offensive, and, at the
same time, valuable gases from es-
Gaping is the point which I wish to
make plain. It Is easy enough and
should not be omitted by any pro-
gressive farmer.
It is done by using absorbents. We
know that there are various things
that have chemical affinity for each
other, and it is by properly using
this idea and that Of the mechanical
affinity OF substances, as well, that
we should accomplish this end. There
are two principal materials that we
should use, and both are easily OBJ
tanned and worth all they cost aside
from their absorbent qualities.
The first is kainit. 1t contains
about 1914 per cent Of potash in ar
available form fer plant food. In ad
dition it contains chlorine and othe1
substances, that, when brought II
contact with the heterogeneous matter

animals are kept, unite ane
form compounds that are at onc'

DO not allow the cows to drink
stagnant or impure water. 1t will
not only affect the quality OF the
milk, hut will injure the health OF tho
animal.
Vicious animals should never be
used for breeding, because like pro-
duces like in temper, character and
habit. as we'll as in size, color and
conformation.
"A cruel custom, but a profitable
one, is to set two hens: and when
they hatch, give all the chicks to one,
and give the other fresh eggs, and II
DAYS more of confinement. Anything
but a fool hen would rebel.
Ducks are the choicest OF all ia
BILE fowls, and it is not necessary that
they be canvass-baek, or be hanked
with green-seal. Pekin, Rouen, Ayles-
bury, Cayuga, or even wild ducks, are
each better than the others.
Any good wholesome food, in suf-
ficient variety, is egg-food. The vari-
ETY. should embrace grain. green vege-
table and animal matter. Crusheo
peas or beans may replace the animal
matter if cheaper or more conven'
lent.
For farmer to shorten up on
| any crop because prices are low II
| often bad policy. So many do so that
next season prices are likely to be
high. Before deciding on crops the
farmer should do some solid, deeT
thinking.
Grain farming as an exclusive
business does not pay the farmer who
owns the land, for every year he
makes heavy demand upon it fol

Some Local History.

\Arecent book written by n. n. Gunby,
formerly of this State. now of Louisiana,
entitled Colonel John Gunby, of the
Maryland Line" is not only valuable
contribution to history and a high trlb-
ute to the part taken by the Maryland
troops in several important battles of
the Revolutionary War. but is of great
local interest. The subject of the sketch
was native of Worcester County and
the ancestor of many of the prominent
citizens of this and adjoining counties
As is well known here, he lived, died
and was buried on the farm near Snow
Hill, now owned by the Hon. George
w. Covington. and called the ''Gunby
Farm" or Cedar Grove" descrip-

book. together with photographs of the
dwelling honse, built on the farm by
Col Gunby. and the family graveyard.
showing the tombstone erected tn the
memory of Gen. Gunby and his family
by his grandson, the late Judge Il. Is.
Wilson.
The book was written To disprovc the
charge of incompetency against Gen.
Guuby at the battle of Hobkirk 5 Hill.
and is q complete yindication Ii Is
shown By extracts from letters and
writings of officers who served with
Col. Gunby and by the works or several
historians that Col. Gunby displayed
the greatest bravery, daring and mill.
tary skill at the battles of the Cowpens
and Guilrord Court House. and that
these victories were i'll a great measure
due TO his leadership of the Maryland
troops, and also that he was equally
brave and active at Hobkirk's Hill,
where the battle was lost, not by the
laundering of Col. Gunby, as asserted
| by some, but by Il general misunder-
standing of orders The facts that the
Court of Inquiry asked for by Gunby
completely exonerated him from all
blame for the loss of the battle. and
that he was subsequently made Brig
| adler General in recognition of his val
liant services during the war, are men
toned as being totally inconsistent with
the great accusation made against him.

Whales Near Atlantic City

Saturday morning two whales Were
washed ashore at Forked river. on the
Jersey coast. They were of what Is
commonly known as the suction va
riety, having no teeth
The larger one measured 20 feet IN
length, was 30 feet i'll circumference
and weighs about 10 tons. Its calf, or
the baby whale. was is feet long. They
had alternate ribs of black and white
hide They had evidently been dead
for some days.
Their carcasses lie near the life saw
ing station and during the day Were
viewed by hundreds of persons. Capt.
David l.. Y Arnell, of the life guards,
thinks the whales were killed by some
passing steamer.
They are very rare i'll this latitude
and had evidently wandered far from
their usual haunts.
