Government Aid Is Needed,

The demand Of the national grange
that government give aid in road
building would seem to be we'll based
when it is aAalyzed closely The gov
eminent has spent over $50o. gUO, 900 in
river and harbor improvements, and
will probably spend as much more in
digging ditch across Panama, all of
which will benefit principally the
shipping and mercantile interests, and
farmers least Of all, or Indirectly at
best. Good roads benefit everybody,
and are used by everybody, whereas a
deepened channel or an improved har-
Dor helps only very few. II the gov
eminent can and does spend, it's money
lavishly on such improvements as are
Of direct benefit to a comparatively
small number, how much wiser and
more important would it be to make
our highways better and let everybody
enjoy them.-Farm and Home.

The Rural Trolley Line

The importance of the electric car
to the rural community as a means of
freight transportation is just beginning
to be appreciated, and it is believed that
the next few years will witness a won
derful development in this means of
transportation If products. For several
years past milk, garden truck and live
stock have bean carried by the electric
cars from nearby farming districts to
the larger cities. Under the plan which
is rapidly spreading over the country
the regular railroad feright cars are
hauled by the cross-country electric
lines from the junction of the two roads
to communities many miles distant from
the steam cars.-Rural World.

When the John A. Salzer Seed Co., of La

grass three years ago, little did they dream
It would be Che most talked of grass in
America, the biggest, quick, hay producer
on earth, but this has come to pass.
Agr. Editors wrote about it, Ayr. Col,

the farm home by the quiet fireside, in the

the creamery, at the depot, in fact wher.
ever farmers gathered, Salzer's Billion Dol.
lar Grass, that wonderful grass, good for
5 to IA tons per acre and lots of pasture
besides, is always a theme worthy of the
farmers voice.
Then comes Bromus Inermis, than which
there is no better grass or better permanent

soil is found. Then the farmer talks about

INTERESTING TO AMERICANS.
Western Canada Will Soon Become
the supply Depot for Wheat for
Great Britain.

During the past year about $4,000
Americans went from the United States
TO Canada. Most of these settled upon
farm lands, and the writer is informed
by agents of the Canadian Government
that the greatest success has followed
the efforts of nearly all. To their
friends on this side of the boundary
line the fullest assurance is given of
the prosperity that is in store for
them. There will always be splen-
did market for all the grain, cattle
and other produce that can be raised in
Western Canada, and with the advan-
tages offered of free homestead of
100 acres of land, and other lands
which may be bought cheaply, an ex-
cellent climate, splendid school system,
educational advantages of the best,
what more is required. The husband
man gets more return for his money
than in any other country in the world.

Remedies for Corn Pests.

Prof. J. w. Folsom discussed en-
sects Injurious to the Corn Crop and
How to Combat Them" There were
over 200 insects, he said, which worked
damage to growing corn, and of these
so species worked extensive injury,
their ravages causing enormous loss.
He enumerated many Of the varieties
and told their habits and some meth
DDS Of exterminating them. Of the
chinch bug he said an effective way of
keeping it out of field was to make a
dust furrow around the plant or sur
round it with string of tar. An
emulsion found effective by Prof.
Forbes in destroying the pest is made
of one pound of soap, one gallon of
rain water and two gallons of kero-
sene. One quart of the mixture is
stirred into Is gallons of water and
sprayed on the bugs.-Farmers' Voice.

SeparatOrs Growing in Favor.

One Of the most surprising changes,
to the uninitiated, going on among
farmers, is the rapidity which the farm
cream separator has grown in favor
with the best farmers. Formerly the
dairy business was slavish because of
the absence of natural conditions I'm
der which dairying could be done ad-
vantageously. But since the introduce
ton of the farm separator, many
farmers have allowed the heifers to
lives and develop into cows, and more
are increasing their number of cows,
all of which will call for more cream
separators till they are as common as
wagons.-Thomas Wing, in Farm and
Home.

these wise and prudent Sisters have

DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the

Barley in This Country.

The production Of barley in the United
States has increased greatly within the
past few years. 1t is estimated, in a
general way, that about two-thirds of
the product is good enough for mailing
purposes, the remainder being used for
feeding. Only small proportion of the
crop is exported; in the record year
1889 the exports amounted to %, Gel, :

orders of Catholic Sisters throughout
the United States.
The names and addresses to these
letters have been withheld from respect
to the Sisters but will be furnished on

One-half of the diseases which affiict
mankind are due to some catarrhal de-
rangement of the mucous membrane
lining some organ or passage OF the
body.
A remedy that would act immediate-
ly upon the congested mucous meme
brane restoring it to it's normal state,
would consequently cure all these
diseases. Catarrh is catarrh wherever
located, whether it be in the head,
throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys or
pelvic organs. A remedy that will cure
it in one location will cure it in all To-
cations. Peruna cures catarrh wher-
ever located.
If you do not derive prompt and sat-
isfactory results from the use of Peru
ma, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.
