WINTER ON THE FARM.
Part of 1t Should BE Devoted ito Study
and the Rest to the Finishing
of Job Work.

If the farmer intends to get to the
front, now would be good time to
commence to study. Nights are get
ting long, and the farm work will not
be in such a rush during the winter
months. The farmer who does not
improve has no excuse, as good farm
literature can be had at a very low
price. A few dollars invested in a
half dozen good agricultural books,
and three or four subscriptions to good
papers, and you are prepared to
start your family reading club. If one
of your boys or girls shows a liking
for poultry or any branch of farming,
get small library and start them
in business; it will be money well in
vested. Now is a good time to do
that job of work on your house, or
barn, which you have been neglecting
for so long. All improvements done
about the place will more than pay for
themselves in better looks of the
place and conveniences. You should
enlarge your barn so as to be able to
take care of plenty of hay and forage,
for that is the only way to keep up the
fertility of the soil, and each farmer
should consider his farm as his bank
account, and his crop after expense
is paid, his per cent. But most farm
ers act as though they thought they
were miners and got their living by
digging. They are not scientific; they
don't keep up with the times. They
do a thing just so because father did
it that way. But that will never do;
civilization is on the forward march,
and if you, brother farmer, do not keep
up with the procession you will be left
in the rut.-Enos c. Pitman, in Agri
cultural Epitomist.

CURE SICK HEADACHE.
SPRAYING CORPORATIONS.
The Senator "SpIuttered" In HA
Speech and an Umbrella
Was Called For.

Senator Spooner told story the other
day, in which the late Senator ingalls, and
Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska, fig
ured. Van Wyck was making one of his
CHARACTERISTIC speeches in attacking cor
porations. He had peculiar. style of de-
livery, and as he warmed to his subject it
was his habit to move restlessly from one
side OF the chamber TO the other, contin-
ually talking. He talked so fast that he
often '.sputtered," and senator's were care
full to keep out of range of the moisture he
Kissed through his closely-set teeth, says
the Washington Post.
Mr.. Ingalls, and Mr.. Spooner once sat
directly in front of 'Mr. Punch" as Sem
ator Van Wyck was often called, because
OF his resemblance to that noted character,
when he was delivering an imprisoned ut
terance, and an atom Of spray rested upon
the hand of the immaculate Ingalls,
He adjusted his speetacles, carefully
inspected his soiled hand, and deliberate
ly signaled for one Of the pages to come
to him. Then in one of his famous whis-
pers, which penetrated the entire chamber,
ingalls, said:
"Boy, bring an umbrella for Senator
Spooner and a rubber overcoat for me. y
The incident provoked general laugh
ter, but it did not interfere with Van
Wyck's speech. He simply shifted his
position so as to get beyond range OF
his always faultlessly dressed and sar.
castle colleague.

place to the post where you begin to
weave. Then unroll and stretch the
bottom wires first, the full length of
the fence if straight, and staple them
in place to the other end, or corner
post, but not so tight as to not let
them slip. Draw them straight and
extend them beyond the last end post
some Is or 20 feet. Fasten them to
some kind of heavy weight that will
slip on the ground as the pickets are

For an anchor, l loop the wires
around the ends of round stick, two
or three feet long and put some rocks
or anything else that may be handy,
on the wires in front of the stick.
Fix each pair of wires to separate
anchor.
To weave in the pickets, one man
turns the short planks in circular
direction one-half a turn, to spread
the wires and hold them while an
other puts in and drives the pickets
in place. A gauge is necessary to
keep the pickets even. A little prac-
tice will enable one to keep the pick
cts plumb and make as good and a
much neater fence than any of the
patent fence machines will make

4 PROFESSIONAL OPINION.
Thu Advice of n Lawyer to His Bar
Der, Who Was Cutting In ON
His Busine ss.

A former Judge, now practicing law,
became interested when told by his ia
.vorite barber that the latter wanted to
study, with view to admission to the
bar, relates the Philadelphia Times. The
lawyer encouraged him in every. way pos
sible, lending him books and giving him
an informal lesson while being shaved
each morning. Soon the barber began put
ting hypothetical cases to his patron, who
gravely, soundly and pains-talingly gave
information as to correct procedure. After
a time the ex-judge learned that the bar
ber's cases were genuine-that, indeed, the
fellow was acting as cut-rate attorney
for his friends, who Invariably profted by
following his advice. The following morn
ing the barber opened up by putting what
he described as an imaginary bit of litiga-
ton to the lather-eovered lawyer, and then
asked:
Now, judge, what do you adviser"
"Let-me-see," replied the lawyer, mus
ingly. Then: "Why, / advise that you
come see me at the office, bring me GER
titled check for 500 as fee, and I'll tell
you how the case should be handled"

In letter dated January 1, 1900,
Mr.. Atkinson says, after five years
experience with Peruna:
"IwiHever continue to speak good
word for Peruna. In my rounds as q
travelling man am q walking adver-
tisemenf for Peruna and have induced
many people during the past year to
use Peruna with the most satisfactory
results. lam still cured of cafarrh. !"
John O. Atkinson,
Box 2z2, Independence, Mo.
When old age comes on, catarrhal
diseases come also. Systemic catarrh
is almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has be-
come SO indispensable to old people.
Peruna is their safeguard. Peruna is
the only remedy yet devised that
meets these cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic rem
edy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use OF
Peruna, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

reads:
Your committee appointed to in
vestigate the Office of supervisors and
treasurer report, that we visited the
supervisors office and found the clerk

very willing and anxious to show all
records called for by us. We found
the records we'll kept and apparently
correct with the exception of those
pertaining to the county hospital,
which we found very unsatisfactory.
1t seems to us as though the board OF
supervisors had been negligent in
their manner of conducting the hos
pital affairs, and that we your COM
mitteee recommend some system,
other than the one now used, OF
checking the contractors accounts.
We found the treasurer's Office in fine

is run as economical as consistent
with amount of work done.
