Provide for Good Drainage.

Provide for Good Drainage.
The past two seasons have been wet
ones. A large amount Of snow fell the
past winter. This spring the ground
will be thoroughly soaked. What the
summer weather will be is Of course a
guess, but it is safe to provide for
thorough drainage, as this work will
result in better crops in either a wet
or dry season. II wet, the best of
tiling and surface drainage WILL be nee
essary. Plans should be, made early.
The idea that thorough drainage is un-
necessary has been pretty effectually
dissipated. If the season is very dry,
the land will stand the drouth better
for having been we'll drained. For best
results any season. plan to drain your
farm as thoroughly as possible

Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House
hold Against Catarrhal
Diseases.

One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. To protect the
family from colds and coughs is always
q serious problem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the use of proper
clothing will protect from the frequency
and perhaps the severity Of colds, but
with the greatest of precautions they
will come. This is a settled fact of
human experience. Everybody must
expect to be caught somewhere or
somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or a
draught, or damp clothes, or it may be
one of q thousand other little mishaps,
but no one is shretwd enough to always
avoid the inevitable catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands
of families in all parts of the United
States are protected from colds and
catarrh by Peruna. Once in the family
Peruna always stays. No home can
spare Peruna after the first trial of it.

Study in Wheat Culture.

Mr.. A. d. Hall, of England, who has
experimental extensively in wheat cul-
ture, has: come to the conclusion that a
great deal depends upon the time of
cutting. When green wheat begins to
swell the first thing that comes into it
is albumen, and the last packing Is al
most pure starch. If, therefore, it. is
possible to shorten the ripening period
and prevent the starch element from
entering the grain, the grain must of
necessity be much stronger. Mr.. Hall
Is inclined to the opinion that farmers
would do we'll to cut wheat while it is
yet in a green state, as by so, doing they
will get the grain richer In nitrogenous
.lements and richer in gluten:-a
stronger wheat In fact. III, ...., :

WHAT FARMERS NEED MOST
Sensible, Practical Education, to b
h Continued Through Life by ~
" Il Constant Study. ...,. ~

The farmers greatest need is educa-
tion. He should have as good educa-
ton as our public schools can give az
foundation for the special knowledge
of the different branches of farming
which he pursues. The farmer needs
to read and study more than he does.
1t Is not uncommon to hear farmers so
discuss matters pertaining to their hus-
bandry that It ID clearly evident that
they are uninformed about things which
they should understand Ia order to get
the best returns for money and labor
expended.
In the United States there is no ex-
cuse for farmers to be without cOneid-
erable knowledge Of farming in its dif-
ferent branches. Our federal govern
ment does great amount Of investiga-
tion, the result of which is given gratis
to every one. The different states have
agricultural colleges and experiment
stations, where Investigations and ex-
periments are constantly carried on,
and in different ways do those insti-
tutions seek to interest the farmers in
their work that they may learn the
truths which science has revealed. The
farmer must be able to see which crops
will, as rule, be most beneficial TO.
him to raise. He must understand
what different crops requtre in order to
yield the most, and he should know
how to SO work his land that 1t grad
ually will come to be in the best con-
dition, and he needs to understand how
to maintain 1t so. The farmer also
needs to know how to feed and care
for his animals; know the value of the
different feeds he uses and their effects
on the different animals in the differ
ent stages of their lives. so as to get
the best returns for what he expends.
Knowing these things, 1t will not be
difficult to produce in abundance. There
need not be such thing as an aban-
doned farm because it is exhausted.
The farmer also needs to know how
to market his produce. Having ac-
quired the knowledge and worked dill
gently and produced in abundance. the
farmer still stands hopeless; he cannot
market his produce at any time. when
the markets happen to be the best the
roads are often impossible. One of the
greatest needs of the farmer is good
roads. The loss to the nation from
having bad roads is incompatible.
Good roads benefit every class of peo-
pie, directly or indirectly. We are
wealthy enough to build good roads:
the farmer alone should not build
them.
With better knowledge Of farming
and good roads we would have a far
better country than we have Our Pc
cuniary circumstances would be greatly
improved. There would be greater So
ciability and more contentment among
the farmers. less congestion in the
cities and higher intellects; this would
very materially help to guide the ma.
tion safely through political cam paigns.
Only the uninforned can be misled. >
Let US acquire knowledge and work
faithfully. With good roads, produc-
tive soil and abundant resources we
can prosper as no other nation on
earth.-N: c. Jorgensen, in N. Y. Tri-
bune-Farmer.

patience and cuts the hands: Let me tell
you how to handle it and have no more
trouble. Take the spool on which the
wire was originally rolled, run a good,
strong, smooth stick through it and
drive awedge in firmly at one end to keep
the spool from turning on stick; now fix
q crank firmly to one end Of your stick
and fasten one end ofwire to the spool.
Two men take hold Of the stick, the
right-hand man holding the stick with
his left hand, and turning the crank with
his right hand. Walk right along and
you will be surprised how easily and rap
idly you can take up wire. .Alittle differ

A Little Lesson
In Patriotism
,NeoI,,s, -eON

=
Although any one Of his score OF
other exploits would In itself have been
sufficient to raise Gen. Wayne to the
heights OF fame, Mad Anthony" VIII
ever be best remembered as the hero OF
the capture of Stony Point, on the
night Of July 9, 1779.
Stony Point had been regarded az
the most impregnable position OF when
the British were masters. The thought
OF its capture advanced by Anthony
Wayne seemed insane, its fulfllmenf
impossible. The plan was bold ana
brilliant; but the misgivings of the
Americans were greater than their
faith in the ability Of Wayne. There
was enc, however, who believed in the
dashing Pennsylvania; and, as that
one was Gen. Washington, the enter
prise, the boldest and most hazardous
of the entire war, was tntrusted to
him.
In the head and front Of the attack
wherever the danger was greatest, was

the general who had planned and ex-
ecuted this daring attack. Once, as he
rallied his men, a British shot struck
him in the head. He fell to the earth,
stunned by the shock and wound; but,
by a magnificent effort of his inf1exible
will, he rose and continued the attack.
The assault was successful, and Stony
Point was won.
Monmouth, Germantown, Yorktown
were other fields of his glory. When
the pennsylvania line" disheartened
and discouraged, were in mutiny. and
the fate Of the revolution hung upon
its outcome, 1t was Gen. Wayne who
succeeded In inducing the mutineerR
to return.
His country, to whom he gave his
services freely and unselfshly, and foI
whom he had so often courted death
gives him in return the honor of q
beloved memory. His courage, his
bravery, his undaunted daring, his I'M
questioned patriotism, have won fol
him place among the immortal heroes
of American history.
Every man has not the military
genius that Wayne possessed; bu
every man may have the desire o.
Wayne to do his best for the cause O.
freedom and right and justice. With
out the spark Of patriotism the famt
of fame may never be kindled. Ant
every man may be patriot. -Chicag,

CHAPTER XIV.
Rescued by the Enemy.

An accident had befallen Dan lap
ham in the early morning engagement.
In the rush for boats before it was

long array of northside fishermen in
their boatss sz4-- + sss-sl.. ~.
He was far in advance of the other
fishermen, expecting to locate the enc

colleagues and assist them in the at

Before single shot was fred and be-
fore daylight began to dawn Dan came

The river bought with it all kinds OF

were constantly on the lookout for
this. for large logs, famous the world
over for their length and size. often
come down with speed and force
sufficient to crush river steamer, and
the small craft of the fishermen would
stand no more show before these than
would an egg shell.
But it was not one of these that
caused Dan trouble. It is the con.

Dan was keeping q sharp lookout

the southsiders and expected to in
tercept them before they should di

was still none in sight he was sending
his frail old craft like cutter through

beating its way with the current anC
