STOP THAT COUGH!
Colds Lead to Catarrf-CatarrI Leads to Consumption

Miss LilIia, or Illinois, started out
exactly in this way. Fortunately, she
took . course of Peruna before 1t was
too late. She had caught several colds,
then cough developed. She took all
sorts Of cough medicines, until, as she
puts it, 81 sickened at the sight OF them. N
In four weeks Peruna had cured her or
her catarrh and her system was entirely
rid of it.
This is what Peruna is doing all the
while. Not day, and probably not an
hour, passes but some one has similar
experience with Peruna.
The first step toward consumption Is
catching cold. The next step is failure
to cure 1t promptly. The third step is
the development of cstarrh, which grad
ually becomes chronic. The fourth step,
the catarrh begins to spread from the
head to the throat. The fifth step, the
catarrh spreads to the bronchial tubes
and lungs. 1t then becomes consump-
ton in its first stage.
At any time during the progress OF the
catarrh, from the first onset OF the cold
runa can be relied upon to stop the dis
ease. IL cures entirely. Even after
consumption has become thoroughly
developed, many cases have found in
Peruna permanent cure. After they
have been given up by physicians to die
Of consumption Peruna has cured them.
We have hundreds OF testimonials
that declare these facts In the most
enthusiastic language.
us. Senator John M. Thurston, from
Nebraska, writes the following letter
from Washington, d. O., under date Of
April 6, 1901:
have used Peruna at various times
during the past year or two with most
satisfactory results.
cit entirely relieved me from an irri-
Eating cough, the result Of excessive
effort in the Presidential campaign, and
am . nrn believer in its efficacy in
any such trouble. n--Jno. NJ. Thurston.
TO take quieting medicines to stop .
cough is absurd aud harmful. The only
way to stop q cough permanently and
without doing more injury than good il
to cure the catarrh, which is exactly
what Peruna does. 1t cures the catarrh
Of the bronchial tubes and the cough
ceases.
At the slightest appearance of a cough
bottle Of Peruna should be taken
according to directions. One bottle in
the beginning will do more than half
dozen bottles after the eatarrh has
fastened itself on the lungs.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,

full statement of your case, and he will

Distributing Manure.

The efficacy Of manure applied to the
land depends very much on the minute
distribution Of it. As thrown from a
common wagon in forkfuls on field,
have found by measurement that not
more than one-fourth of the surface of
the land had been covered. This rather
rough spreading was increased in its
negative effect by the blowing leaving q
large part Of it uncovered. Manure
which has laid in the heap during the
winter and has become hard packed,
cannot be spread evenly. The unbroke en-
Jumps which might suffice for square
yard Of ground are confined to a square
foot, or little more. My experience
has shown that five loads Of good manure
of ordinary quality NAV be made to do
as much good service by close and fne
spreading as three times as much spread
loosely in Jumps.
There are several ways Of avoiding
this waste; one is by making composts
Of the manure, and even distributing
fertilizers in the mass. To avoid this
waste and loss. the manure should be
fine and evenly scattered. Every posi-
BILE effort should be made to secure this
condition both in the even quality and
distribution. Thousands of dollars are
wasted in this way Not for moment
would think Of deprecating the use Of
commercial fertilizers. This should be
made use Of to the fullest extent, but
the other should not be ignored or
wasted.-Henry Stewart, in Orange

Corn Cultivation.

A. D. Shamel, Of Illinois, whose work
in the improvement of corn is very we'll
known, delivered an address recently be-
fore Maryland farmers institute on
increasing the yield in eastern corn6elds
In this address, as reported by Orange
Judd Farmer, he touches upon the i'm
portance Of the right way of working
corn as follows:
In general shallow, continued Guilt
walton has given the best results. In
deep cultivation the number of the roots
of the corn plants cut Of are about in
proportion to the depth Of cultivation
and the closeness Of the cultivator SHOW
els TO the hill. At the Illinois station
it was found that the yield per acre was
reduced almost in proportion to the num-
Der of roots cut of.
In a test of this matter the roots of q
series of rows we're cut of with ROOT
primer six inches from the bill three
times in the season, different rows being
pruned at different depths. In genera
the average results Of this pruning OF
root injury process were as follows
Rows with roots not pruned yielded 81
bushels per acre; with roots pruned two
inches deep yielded go bushels with
roots pruued four inches deep yielded 4s
bushels; with roots pruned six inches
deep yielded 38 bushels.
The kind of cultivator will depend or
the kind of soil and other conditions o.
each individual farm. As rule fire.
quent cultivation is desirable during q
dry season in order to conserve soil mois
ture, the number of civilizations depend
ing in great part on the character Of the
season. All weeds should be kept out
of the field, as every weed competel
with the corn plants for plan. food anC
light. As a matter Of fact the weed
can be kept under control most econ om.
ically by the proper course in the prep
Aration Of the seed bed.
