Only Way 90 Avoid Getting 1t Is by
Purchasing Goods from Re-
liable Dealers.

Complaints keep coming to hand all
the time about adulterated honey, says
Farm, Stock and Home Where can I
get pure honey?'' is question that |
am asked almost daily. Il would not
trust my own father when it comes to
extracted honey" was the reply / got
to-day from would-be purchaser of
comb honey, who writes DR." before
his name. We seldom take any notice
OF such accusations of dishonesty, and
we are weary of the cry of Where
can | get pure honey?" because it
comes as a general rule from those who
buy from the fakirs, but we dislike to
have them come our way for SYM
pathy after getting just what they were
paying for. However, in reply to those
who really want pure article, and sre
willing to pay for it, there is no diff
Guilty at all about the matter. A coed
way to get pure honey is to raise It
yourself or else buy from some pro-
Queer whose reputation is above suspi-
cion, or buy from some reputable deal
er who handles first-class goods of all
kinds, your grocer, for instance. If you
live where there is a good pure food
law try the honey of various producers,
and when you get an article that you
like send a sample of it to the dairy
and food commissioner for analysis
and he will tell you free of cost it it be
pure or otherwise. But do not pro-
nounce honey impure simply because
you don't like it. The combined efforts
of the dairy and food commissioner
and the State Bee Keepers association
have done much to drive spurious
honey out of the market, and we
hope the day is not far distant when
congress will see its way clear to pass
pure food law that will make the
business of the adulterator both risky
and improbable.

Scholar or Athlete.

Statistics would tend to show that
while the chance of the kind of dis
tinction recorded in Who's Who is
about the same for the crew as for the
average of the class, and is much
greater for the captains of the crew,
it is for the football and baseball men
far less than for the average graduate.
Such result cannot be attributed en-
tirely to the fact that high scholars
no logger play upon the nine or eleven,
for this is equally true of the crew.
In fact from 1861 to 1898 no member of
the crew won a Bowdoin prize or stood
in the first seventh of his class, and
only one took final honors in any sub
iect; but the oarsmen proved in other
ways that they possessed in as great
a degree as the average of the class the
qualities that make for distinction.
Why should this not be true of the
baseball and football men also?-A.

Miss Muriel Armitage, SO Green

Organizer of the Royal Templars OF

Il think that a woman naturally

so much to me that / feel for the

my duty to tell what PerunR has

Il suffered for five years with
uterine irregularities, which brought

Armitage.
Peruna cures catarrh of the pelvic
organs with the same surety as it
cures catarrh of the head. Peruna
has become renowned as a positive
cure for female ailments simply be-
cause the ailments are mostly due
to catarrh. Catarrh is the cause of
the trouble. Peruna cures the ca
tarrh. The symptoms disappear.

1t is difficult to plan hog house

purpose of the builder to grow and fat
ten 100 hogs per year. or in other
words that he is likely to have 100 hogs
to shelter at one time that will average
200 pounds each. This being the correct
building less than 32x50 feet, on the
ground. The building should stand
north and south, if the lay of the land
and other buildings will permit, SO as
to get sunshine into each pen at some

Oats for Fattening Fowls.

Oats as a poultry feed should be first
class, but owing to the large percentage
of hulls they are not relished by chick
ems. and for this reason are somewhat
indigestible. When ground they may
be used freely in the mash, also the
rolled and granulated oatmeals are ex-
cellent for feeding young chicks. The
ground oats without the bulls are used
extensively in Canada for fattening
fowls.-Orange Judd Farmer.

How Diseases Are spread.

Diseases are often communicated by
feeding animals in stalls which have
been occupied previously by diseased
stock. Such stalls should first be thor
oughly cleaned and disinfected. To do
this take pint of sulphuric acid and put
it in bucket of water. Then, with an
old mop, wash al parts OF the stall,
especially the trough or manger. All
stalls should occasionally be so disin-
fected, as their constant use permits
them to gradually become unfit abodes

should be carefully handled.

IF LIFE WERE ALL.

If life were ALL
Where were the recompense
For all our tears?
The troubled toll

The struggle to survive
The passing show

If life were all.
If life were all,
What were it worth to live?
To build on pain,
So soon to learn
Our building were but vain,
And then to pass
To some vague nothingness
Were scarce worth while.
If life were all.
If life were all,
How might we bear
Our poor hearts grief?
Our partings frequent
And our pleasures brief;
The cup pressed to the lips,
Then snatched away,
Were scarce worth looking on.
If life We're all.
Life is not all
We build eternaIly,
And what is ours to-day
To make existence sweet
Is ours Away
We stand on solid ground
That lasts for aye and aye,
And makes earths sojourn worth the
while
Life is not all.
Life is not all

Only know that God is good
And that His sire myth sustaSas.
I only know that He is just;

Mary was the most lonesome and

She was an adopted child and her foster

tried unsuccessfully to palm her off on
her husband as her own. So after she

upon the officer taking charge of the
