Miss Ferguson's experience is no diff
ferent from that of thousands of
men and women throughout the
country who have been cured by
TO-NI-TA, Dr. IIOrentz's great
mucous membrane bitters.
Il have long been sufferer from
catarrh of the head and throat, and
have tried all the usual medicines, but
none of them did me any lasting good,
and the disease kept getting worse.
Finally it grew so bad that for days at
time 1 was confined to my room
with racking headaches.
Il happened to see an advertise
ment of TO-NI-TA in a Manchester
paper and tried a sample bottle, which
did me so much good that I bought a
bottle at drug store, and began talk
ing it as directed.
Improvement was rapid, and after
taking two bottles of TO-NI-TA l am
cured, and l know my present good
health is due wholly to the use of TO-
NI-TA." Gratefully yours, Edna D.
Ferguson, 1870 Elm Street, Manches-
ter. n. Fl.

New Potato from Uruguay.

Prof. Heckel Of Marseilles, France,
discovered few years ago, along the
banks of the River Mercedes, Uruguay
n new tubercle, which seems to put the
common white potato in the back
ground, if reports are true. This Won
derful potato need be planted but once,
as new tubercles and stems to branch
off in every direction all the year, and
after one planting the vegetable per-
petuates itself from the broken roots
left in the soil. The flowers are
abundant, and very odorous, and a
perfume resembling jasmine has al
ready been manufactured from them
Enormous production absolute immu.
nifty from common potato diseases, de-
licious flavor and easy culture are
some of the features already claimed
for this new discovery.

STOCK AND DAIRY NOTES.

For hog pastures woven wire is the
best fencing material.
For the first few days newly purchased
hogs should be fed lightly.
No man should attempt to raise hogs
without adequate fencing of yards and
pastures.
The portable hog house is coming into
very general favor, especially in disease
Infested districts.
Sweet cream butter is coming much
nto use in this country. This kind OF
butter is not made, as might be supposed
from the name, from cream from sweet
milk, but is generally made of ripened
cream. 1t is called sweet because it is
not salted
A COW must be very poor milker
not to respond to good feed and good
care. Good feeding can greatly increase
the milk-producing powers OF the cows
we have, but only to the limit Of their
natural capacity. Many Of our COWS are
being fed so unscientifcally that they
have never been brought up to their full
capacity Farmers Review.

RATTLERS MIXED THE COW.
Vermont Farmer Makes a Discovery
Which Surprised Him and His
Neighbors as Well.

Simeon johnson, q farmer of TYSON.
VI, made a discovery recently which
so surprised him that he has spread the
marvellous tale from one end of the
county to the other.
For several months Sim has known
that some one or something has been
stealing milk from his pet Jersey COW.
HIS good wife told him that the Jersey
had simply dried up and that he was
AFFLICTED with spell of IMAGINATION.
sim, however, declared that he knew
that he knew, and sat up nights to dis
cover the thief. But he saw no invaders,
and the more sleep he lost the madder
he got
the Jersey was one of herd OF 20.
and as her milk was richer than that Of
the others the supply was saved for fam
lily use. She was quartered in a. stall
at the end of the cow stable and until
three months ago gave four quarts
morning and night. Then she suddenly
cut down her morning quota to little
or nothing. Sim would have agreed
with his wife if Bess hadn't furnished
the usual amount at night and seemed
raYenously hungry.
1t made no difference whether Sim
watched or not; the milk was always
gone in the morning. although It was
several times established that at mid
night the supply was normal. It was
this fact more than anything else that
bothered Sim and gave him creepy and
uncanny sensations when he kept his
Nipi1C hv fho I'M, r
old kerosene lantern. He couldn't fig
ure out why Bess should not give milk
in the morning VIXEN there was plenty at
midnight or why she should be we'll
supplied at night and not at the early
milking.
L don't believe there is anything
milkin' that cow" said Mrs. Johnson
one day recently. but if there is it
2rawls, and you won't catch it unless
you clean out the bedding so you can
see the stall floor"
Sim allowed there might be some
thing in this, and so he swept out the
stall and made Bess lie on the planks
Instead of on a fine bed of clean straw.
About nine o'clock he got his lantern
and once more took up his post of vigil.
| He had begun to doze when he heard
Bess shift her position, and he held up
the light. He was just in time to see a
long, glistening, sinuous form slip from
under the side Of the reclining cow and
glide down a rat-hole in the corner of
the stall. At the same time he heard a
familiar sound that caused his hair to
stand on end.
"Rattlesnakes, he gurgled, and
grabbed pitchfork.
Bess jumped to her feet and mooed
contentedly as the farmer advanced
cautiously and began a careful investi-
cation. There was but one rat-hole
This led to pile of rocks under the
barn, and Sim retired to the house. In
the morning, with the help Of the hired
man, the rocks were removed. and five
rattlers each three times its natural
size were killed According to the
number of rattles, all but one was
young, but exceedingly large and fat

TWO EFFECTS OF CLOVER.
The Crop Acts Either as Collector Of
Nitrogen or as a sub-Earth
Cultivator.

The work of clover is not always to
get nitrogen from the air. There are
some soils that are rich enough in
nitrogen and yet need the presence of
the legumes. In a visit to Antioch,
H.. the writer observed that the
soil is only a little acidy, and that it
is also rich in nitrogen. Glover is be-
ing grown, but its work of soil reno
walton is different from that it has to
perform on some other soils, espe-
cially those that are deficient in nitro
gen. Here the roots go deep into the
soil and help to improve the physical
condition of the soil. 1t taps the stores
of potassium and phosphorus that are
hidden away in the depths of the
earth and brings them to the upper
layers of soil, where they will be with.
in the reach of the plants that do not
have the deep root systems that
clover and alfalfa have.
The clovers viii be found to be use
full on almost aN soils where they will
grow, either as collectors OF nitrogen
or as subearth cultivators. They send
their roots deep into the soil and tun-
mel in every direction. The roots in
time die, leaving a multitude OF pas
sages in the soil. These act as drains
and as air channels, by which the soil
is more fully aerated. AS a nitrogen
gatherer the clover is of great use
on millions of acres of our lands
from which the nitrogen has been ex-
hausted, and on millions of other
acres it acts as a carrier of fertility
from the cellars to the upper storage
rooms of the soil.-Farmers' Review.

A Crop of Antique Corn.

Several years ago, in exploring an
Indian mound in the southwest par,
of Missouri, a quantity of corn was
found. Some of this corn was plant
ed, and, TO the surprise of all, it ger
minated and matured. How long il
had lain in the mound, on which large
trees were growing, no one can con-
jecture-probably several hundred
years. Last fall a citizen of James
port, Mo, secured a handful of thi,
corn and now has a dozen hills of i
growing In his garden. The grains ar
about the usual size OF field corn, ba
are of deep brown, mottled will

When Milk Cans Get Rustv.

Don't keep throwing away money
patching rusty milll-cans when at best
hey will last but a little longer; such
practice is decidedly disastrous to the
quality of the milk. Throw them away
and get some good, new cans, well timed.
Always empty them as soon as they re-
turn from the creamery; wipe dry after
washing and give them daily sun bath.
Given this treatment, good can ought
to last seven or eight years.-Midland
