ShoeinE Farm Horses.

When children went barefoot all the
year round, good, sound feet suited to
all the work for which feet were in
tended were the rule-not the excep-
ton as now, when the little trotters
are manacled and distorted, and they
must ride to school instead of walk
ing, for which their modified feet are
not adapted. The habit of shoeing
horses on farms is having a similar
effect. Horses whose duties confine
them to loamy lands need no shoes,
and in large majority of cases where
shoes are needed only the fore feet
should be shod. On rocky roads and
paved streets it may be necessary to
shoe horses all round, especially after
the feet have been damaged by the
habitual use of shoes. 1t is cruel and
to keep farm horses shod
all round and all the time.-Farm and

The gallant victories of Paul Jones
show the important part the new navy
played during the revolution, but the
victories were not without serious de-
pletion among our ships. Little was
done towards the rebuilding of the
navy, and some years later, when
trouble with France was brewing, the
mistake was fully seen, and steps were
taken to provide an effectual naval
force. 1t was then that the Office of
secretary of the navy was created, and
on April 80, 17eS, Benjamin Stoddart,
of Maryland, was made q member Of
the cabinet as such officer. Later in
1912. the department was organized on
its present lines.
When the state department was es-
tablished it was well able to handle all
matters that came within its jurisdic-
ton, but as time went on and new
states were added to the union, it was
found necessary to create separate
department to look after matters Of
purely internal administration. Legis-
lation to this end was effected on
March 8, 1919, when the department Of
the interior was established and
Thomas. Ewing, Of Ohio, at that time
secretary of the treasury, was re-
quested by President Harrison to as
sumo the duties of the new secretary
ship. The department was composed
of eight bureaus-the bureau of pub
lie lands, pensions, Indian affairs, pat
ents, education, railroads, labor and
labor statistics.
1t was not many years before the
duties of this new department had in
creased to such an extent that it was
deemed advisable to create still an
other separate branch to be known
as the department of agriculture. This
was done in 1862, but it was many years

Sorghum is one of the most prof
liable crops a farmer can plant, and
also one of The sNrest crops. Wet or
dry, sorghum will mature 4 crop. For
feeding it should be planted on well
prepared ground, broadcast or with q
grain drill.
The secretary of agriculture says
this country will in few years pro-
duce all the sugar required for home
consumption. The cane country is linn
tied, but land suitable for sugar beets
is alone sufficient to produce all the
sugar needed.
--Pasturage, natural or artificial,
should be as carefully preserved as
any other crop. To permit stock to
cat it out and then tramp it to death,
is better than burning It off for the
fertilizing value Of the ashes, but not
much better at best.
Wherever alfalfa can be grown,
with or without irrigation, hogs may

can be grown, milo maize,

ton.
Considering the work required to
groom it, there. is hardly any better
feed crop known to the south than
sweet potatoes. When grown for
stock feed for cows, horses or hogs
the prolific West Indian varieties
should be planted, because they grow

LET THE BRAIN HELP,

Dor Of Farming.

There are farmers who rise by
three or four o'clock in the morning.
and who invariably eat their suppers
by artificial light. They are too tired
evenings to read papers, so they do
not take any; and for the same rea-
son they only answer their wives in
drowsy monosyllables. Almost before
the supper dishes are cleared away
they are off to bed, and are up again
as soon as some occult intimation
demonstrates that daylight is not so
very far away. They DO not oil their
harnesses, or look after their farm
tools, or prune their apple trees, or
do any OF the little hundred and one
things that are the real profit of a
farm because they have no time.
Work is always crowding them. and
they are too tired to make plans be-
tween one days labor and another.
And so this work goes on, year after
year, and they are scarce able to hold
their own. They wouli put in a few
more hours if they could, but already
they are robbfng both ends of the
night, and it II impossible for them
to pilfer more. They are too busy
and too tired to reason the thing out
dispassionately, SO they become mo-
rose and discontinued and disheart-
ened. They have neighbors who are
prosperous and successful, and whose
children have time to attend school
and social gatherings. and they won

aot work as hard as they. These
farmers are doing their best, in their
way. to get on In the world; and they
are working just As earnestly and
lovingly for the welfare of their chill
dren as are their prosperous neigh
bors. But they have never been

THE season of catching cold is upon
i us. The cough and the sneeze
and the nasal twang are to be
heard on every hand. The origin OF
chronic catarrh, the most common and
dreadful of diseases. is cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches
cold, which hangs on longer than usual.
The cold generally starts in the head
and throat. Then follows sensitive
ness of the air passages which incline
one to catch cold very easily. At last
the person has a cold all the while
seemingly, more or less discharge from
the nose, hawking, splitting. frequent
clearing Of the throat, nostrils stopped
up. full feeling in the head, and sore,
infiamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning A bottle of Peruna prop
erly used, never fails to cure n common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.

While many people have been cured
OF chronic catarrh by single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly ixed more than
one bottle is necessary to complete q
cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer-
able of catarrh of twenty years stand
ing. 1t is the best, If not the only inter
nal remedy for chronic catarrh in ex-
istence.
But prevention is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the
slightest symptom of cold or sore throat
at this season of the year and thus pre-
vent what is almost certain to end in
chronic cstarrh.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, March 2o.-With
three boycotts by labor organizations in
progress and a threatened strike by two
more unions on April 1, the business men
Of Evansville. including merchants, manu-
facturers and other employers Of labor,
have determined to organize for self pro-
lection. and a society has been formed
with the special object Of protecting it's
members against the boycott. .....
The most vexatious movement Of or
ganized labor has been in the direction Of
forcing the Evansville Gas Company to
grant its demands by ordering metres out
Of the houses Of all employers OF labor.
and II the order Is not obeyed. call the
employees out on strike. Some OF the
Manufacturers have been forced to close
their plants because Of the strike. and all
have felt the need Of an organization for
protection against further encroachment
The officers Of the new organization
announce that they are not opposed to
unions, but to their method Of enforcing
their demands. and that their purpose
is to protect both the business interests
OF the city and non-union men who desire
to work. More than 100 business men are
now members. 1t is hoped to include
every business man Of prominence in the
city.

attended the meeting of the Central Fede-
rated Union in this city yesterday. After
the meeting he said that the strike has
affected nearly twenty cities and may ulti-
mately make 200 900 men in other trades
idle. though the ironworkers on strike
now number only 5000.
In a speech At the meeting he said that
the company had precipitated the strike
by violating rules agreed to between 1t and
the union. He had tried. without success,
before and after the strike TO bring about
a conference to settle the trouble with the
officials Of the company. buttthe company.
80 he said, was probably backed up by the
United States Steel Corporation.
He asked the Central Federated Union
for its moral support in the strike and q
resolution was passed indorsing It.
After the meeting Buchanan said that
the American Bridge Company controlled
90 per cent. OF the structural iron manu-
featured In this country. He also said that
the company was now Offering premiums
TO non-union men in the shape Of an ad-
vance In wages and desc ribed a proht-shar-
ing plan Of the company for It's workmen,
which. he asserted, was designed to make
strikes impossible. He had no solution to
offer for the present deadlock.
