N IN CULTIVATION.
The Farmer Who Works His Soil Dill
igently Is the One That Gets
the Big Crops.

When I was a child | read a Sunday
school story which impressed me very
much about a poor boy who vas made
very happy by the gift of a pig. He
did not have much to feed the pig,
but he tried to make up for other
lacks by attention and care and was
so far rewarded that the pig became a
fine large porker, and when brought
to his natural end upon the block re-
turned a handsome pittance" to the
~sagacious boy. AS | grew older,
doubts beset my mind concerning the
probabilities Of that story, notwith-
standing its irreproachable origin, un-
til / met a woman who was striving
most con~scientiously to carry on and
do justice to the pet farm of her hus-
band. a railroad conductor who CON
Quoted" most Of the time. She kept
pigs and, like all neat housekeepers,
carried her passion for cleanliness
into the %barnyard. AS a result those
pigs were taken early to the water
ing trough and became SO accus-
toned to their daily bath that, like
bAO pACNONAOuo CA plCLuICQ III
advertisements, they cried for it. 1t
was a decided departure from estab-
lished precedents in pig culture, but
it paid. The pigs throve and waxed
so fat and beautiful that their proud
mistress bore them off to the fair and
lay her hands on. Doubtless they were
we'll fed, too, but that does not destroy
the force of the argument for care and
cultivation.
Cleanliness appears to be almost as
near to goodness in the culture of
crops as in the regeneration of the
human family. When l questioned a
man who had succeeded in raising
900 bushels of onions where only 500
grew before he assured me hat the re-
suit was due more to care and atten-
ton than to richness of soil. He as
training Of a child. should begin with
the ancestors. In other words, the
seed sowed should be the product of
good, well cultivated onions, and 1t
should be planted in a seeded as
nearly perfect as narrowing and cul-
tivating could make 1t. Then when
the onions had sprouted, cultivation
should be renewed and every weed
should be removed in order that the
young bulbs might inherit the earth
and get the start of all competitors.
"Cultivate!" "Cultivate!" was the mot
to of that onion grower, and We be-
lieve it must be the motto of every
produced who deals with organized
life.-Farmers' Review.

Red Gum Coming to Front.

Recent Investigations of the bureau
of forestry indicate an important addi-
ton to the present timber Of
the country through the better utiliza-
ton of the red gum. This timber tree is
the predominant species on the hard
wood bottom lands of all the southeast
ern states. In spite of its abundant sup
ply, it has been slow to reach CONNER
cial importance, because of the extent
to which it warps and stains in season.

gum received little attention. Tho in

as would obyiate the difficulties which
have stood in the way of a larger use Of

Ernest Thompson Seton Says That as
a Maker of Black Loan He
Has No Rival.

! have visited nearly every state and
province west of the Mississippi, l
have availed myself of the researches
Of the agricultural department made
under DR.. c. Hart Merriam's careful
biological survey of the west, indeed,
Of all sources of information. and | am
satisfied that the ordinary earthworms
are not native to any part of America
south of the Saskatchewan OF west of
the Mississippi valley, exclusive OF
the narrow humid belt along the Pa
cific coast.
There exists, nevertheless, a fine
stratum of humus in all parts of the
country where there is moisture
enough to produce annual vegetation.
The black earth in Manitoba is one
foot to two feet thick, an amount
probably not exceeded over any large
area elsewhere in the world. This is
not a solid bed of decayed vegetation,
but is thoroughly mixed with the up
per formation, and forms the black
loan.
There is no doubt, then, that in the
absence of earthworms this mixing is
done by a number of species of bur-
rowing animals, but by far the most
important of these are the Geomydaa,
or photographers.
Gophers are found in the whole Of
the region west of the Mississippi val
ley, as far as the Pacific coast, south
we'll into Mexico. and north as far as
the Saskatchewan. In other words,
their distribution is general over the
whole region that is without earth
worms, though it is not likely that the
rodents had to do with this limitation

WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions by Or. Hartman. How
to Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident to Warm Weather.

Nervousness Is very common among
women This condition is due to anaemlc
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoir for nerve vitality. These
centers become bloodless for the want
of proper nutrition.
This condition is especially noticeable
during the warm season. Every sum-
mer an army of invalids are produced as
a direct result Of weak nervous systems.
This could easily be overcome by the
use Of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root Of the trouble by correcting the
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
Increased nutrition for the nerve centers-
Perfectly digested food gives these reseT-
voirs Of life a vitality which creates
strong. steady nerves, and in this man
ner fortiies and nourishes life.
Miss Blanche Grey. a prominent young
society woman of Memphis, Tenn, in a
recent letter from TIA Alabama street,
writes: ITO a society woman whose
nervous force is often taxed to the utmost
from lack OF rest and irregular meals.
I know of nothing which is of SO much
benefit as Peruna. / took 1t a few
months ago when l felt my strength
giving way, and 1t Dor made itself
manifest In giving me new strength
and health. Miss Blanche Grey.
Pe-ru-na Contains no Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic Of any kind. Pc
run is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length OF time without acQuir-
ing a drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is perma-
nent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by
removing the cause of catarrh. There
are a multitude Of homes where Peruna
has been used off and on for twenty
years. Such a thing could not be posi-
BILE IL Peruna contained any drugs Of @
narcotic nature.
At this season Of the year we are
peculiarly liable to inflammations OF the
stomach and bowels. 1t is the part Of
wisdom to learn how to cut them fhort
and in the easiest and quickest manner
Peruna does this by it's peculiar power
over all forms of catarrhal troubles.
