To Keep Files OF Horses.

A writer in the Eptonlist says;
Take two or three small handfuls of
walnut leaves, or pennyroyal, on which
pour two or three quarts of cold wa
ter: let 1t infuse one night, pour the
whole next morning into kettle, and
boil for fifteen minutes; when cold, it
is fit for use. Moisten sponge with
1t, and before the horse goes out Of
the stable LET those parts which are
most irritable be smeared over with
the liquid. Those who are brutal
enough to dock the tails of their
horses should a: least be willing to
take little pains to keep them COM

Study the Soil.

Every farmer should try to make a
yearly improvement in his practice,
for without improvement in methods
there will be no increase in profits.
Let the soil be made little better
every year, and the corresponding in
crease i'll the yield OF products will
compensate three or four times the
outlay. On the other hand, if there
is constant decrease In the fertility
of the soil. the abiliry of the farmer
to improve his soil by reason of the
decreased yield in his crops will keep
him on the downward path. Study the
soil; keep 1t in good heart by rotation,
cloyering and manurlng, and success is
inevitable. These are the keys with
which to unlock the farmers treasure

When selecting male birds with n
view to propagating flesh and prolific
laying. they should be moderately
short-legged. unless the hens are very
low in stature. and even then short
legs should be preferred for compact
ness and growth of flesh, for the cock
erels from Il sire having long legs are
apt to be stilted, and they do not put
on flesh kindly. The sire should have
a broad, full and round breast, broad
back, to secure plumpness and com
pactneSs of flesh in the offspring.

A dust bath almost every day is nee
essary to the health of the hens, and

The dust box should be sufficiently
large to admit of two or three hens oc-

one of the best. if not the best, mate

Many young horses are ruined BY
being put to work too young, before
their bones are properly hardened and
their joints sufficiently strong. In
this immature condition the young ami
NAL is not able to bear constant and
severe eAertion, and if this is cxacted
of them the injury will be felt all
through the rest of their lives. Mode
rate exercise should be begun quite
early, but full service should not be
required before the fourth year.

1t is not wise to lop off any branch

There Is No Remedy Known to the Medical
Profession That is Used ard Endorsed BY
So Many Men of National Prominence
and Undoubted Integrity

~ HE day was when men Of promi-
hence hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines
for publication. This remains true to day
of most proprietary medicines But Pc
runa has become so Justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people Of
high and low station that no one hest
tates to see his name in print recommend
ing Peruna
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong Endorsement. Men
representing all classes and stations are
equally represented.
The most distinguished men Of the
United States have no hesitation in lend
ing their influence to assist in letting the
people know of the virtues of Peruna.
Nearly one-half the people are in some
degree affected by catarrh. Therefore 1t
is almost a national curse, and it is of ma
tional import that the people should know
of Peruna. =, r. -, :.
Catarrh is an American disease. Pc

pei catarrh from the system. >.,-
Catarrh is a sytemic disease, durable

that cures catarrh must aim directly al

THE SEASON OF CATCHING COLD.
HE season of catching cold is upon
us. The cold and the sneeze and
the nasal twang are to be heard on
every hand. The origin of chronic ca
tarrh, the most common and dreadful Of
diseases is a cold. f* -
The order in which the symptoms Of
chronic catarrh. occur are nearly always
as follows: ! r. }a"
A cold which hangs on longer than usu-
al; sensitiveness of the air passages; by
which one catches cold easily; a continual
settled cold in the head, throat or chest;
discharges grow thicker. and more Of
fensive, loss of flesh, dependency, loss of
appetite, headache. or cough, and general
| lassitude. sGs-.s $3.50 So
! Now this is about the order in which
symptoms Of chronic catarrh make their
appearance, and If the sufferer is fortu-
will begin to disappear in exactly the re-
| verse order. There may be at first no
perceptible improvement in the earliest
symptoms, while the latter symptoms
show prompt Improvement.

zTN HERE are two things that the whole
medical profession agree about con-
corning catarrh. The first is that
catarrh is the most prevalent and omni-
present disease to which the people in the
United States are subject. All classes of
people have it. Those who stay indoors
much and those who go outdoors much.
Working classes have it and sedentary
classes have it. 81. '..'
The doctor finds catarrh to be his con-
slant and ever present foe. 1t compii-
Gates nearly every disease he is called
upon to treat. -
The second thing about catarrh on
which all doctors agree is that it is diff
cult to cure it. Local remedies may give
relief but they fail to, cure permanently
Sprays or snuffs amount to little or moth
| ing except to give temporary relief.

Catarrh is silent and insidious in its
ravages, but it pervades nearly every
household and hovers like a pestilence
over every hamlet and city in our land.
Catarrh (and its legitimate conse-
quences) has desolated more hearth

Catarrh may end in deafness, blindness.

sumption and pleurisy begin almost al

The worst forms Of dyspepsia and

of acute catarrh.
Even when the victims of acute ca
tarrl1 escape all Of the above mentioned
