A name that starts terror in the heart OF every
Spanard. A man of steady nerve, clearhead,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by friend recently, his opinion
was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna the
national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation he gave this remedy his en-
dorsement. 1t appeared on later conversa-
ton that Peruna has been used in his family
where it is a favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. 1t is out ct
the question that so great and famous man
as Admiral Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.

A quite effective pile driver may be
made FOR small uses in this way; A
frame of four posts spiked at the bot
tom so as to take firm hold on tim
Der frame spreading eight feet or So,
and. il the height makes 1t necessary,
held by guy ropes to steady IT, and of
q sufficient height to get the right fall
will make the frame. The tops of the
posts are held by an iron bar passing
through them, and bent sufficiently to
give the required spread at the bottom.
Two posts in the center are used and
fitted in the top and secured by the bar
passing through them for the driver to
fall in, this being guided by slides in
which It works. To the top of the frame
a pulley is fixed for this lifting rope, At
the end of this lifting rope a catch by
which the driver is raised Ia fastened.
Fair play., 1903-12-19

/ This catch is formed as shown in the
, illustration. The catch consists of a
double spur. the upper one being held
| by the ring fastened to the end of the
rope as shown. 1t is released by a pull
on the guide rope, this rope serving also
to draw down the catch for the next
lift.
The driver may be a log Of heavy wood
bound with iron rings to add to it's
weight, and if the weight needs increas-
ing the driver is bored in the center and
the hole filled with lead The weight
Of It is further increased by heavy iron
rings around it. 1t should not be of a
less weight than $50 pounds for common
work, but may be easily increased in
weight by adding more of the binding
rings. The two center posts are the
guides, and each has two scantlings
bOted or spiked to ii to secure the driver
safely. The driver Is so made that it
slides in these grooves easily, the mo-
tiOn being aided by the use of any lubri-
cant, such as common axle grease. 1t
will be an additional security to pass
two iron bands around them, which are
bolted to the outside, and so bent as to
afford easy passage through them of the
driver. The driver has suitable catch
by which i. is held in the hook. and the
weight Of the driver is firmly supported
by the form uf these clips, which slope
| inward a little so that some force is re-
| Quired to spread them by the guides at
/ the top, which engage with the curved
/ catch. A pulley is fitted to the bottom OF
| the frame, and the hosting rope passes
| through this pulley and hooks to the
double-tree attached TO the harness.
The draft rope is urawn down after
the driver falls by the light cord, as the
horses are backed to the original place
and another blow is given. This dnC

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

The creamery is the farmers friend.
Good cows are scarce and hard to

The man who keeps on good tern,
with his cows will get more milk out OF

The surest way to improve your COWS
is through the use of a good bull and
then raise the heiier calves.
Treat your COWS as well as you used
to treat your best girl and they will
return your care in increased profit if
not in affection.
A good many things will give milk
poor lasting qualities, but none more
surely or more rapidly than allowing
filth to get into the pail from the cows

Guessing that this or that calf will
