Potatoes as Hog Feed,

Potatoes are quite largely fed to
hogs, but it is found advisable to boil
them. In the New England States
they are fed extensively, being boiled
in milk and mixed with meal in
barrel. Frequently several bushels
are boiled at time, and when mixed
with corn meal make an appetizing
mess. The only fault to be found
with this combination is that it is
badly out of balance. The potatoes
are rich in starch and so is the corn.
To such of our readers as are still
following the old practice we would
advise the. substitution of bran or of
ground oats for the corn meal. This
would make fairly well balanced rs-
ton. The Canadians say that pota-
toes have a good effect on the quality.
OF bacon produced. There IS probably
no better use to which small potatoes.

Shallow Cultivation.

In all work in the garden it is bet"
ter. to give shallow cultivation thar
deep cultivation after the roots of the
plants have extended into the bare
spaces between the rows. Before that
time the cultivation may be deep, and
should be deep to get the soil thor
oughly loosened up, So that the roots
of the plants, as soon as they reach
out into this fresh soil, will be able
to strike deep anu remain below the
line of the shallow cultivation that
is to follow. If the ground is not
stirred to a good depth at first the
roots will extend along the surface of
the ground and will be constantly in
terfered with by the fcultivator, no
matter how shallow it may be run.
With tho proper preparation Of the
ground, and with this deep cultivation
at first, the latter civilizations, though
shallow, will be found to be very ben
eficial. They will not break off the
ends of the roots, but. will keep the
soil well aerated and thus help to
loosen up the plant food and place it
in disable condition. This aeration
Of the soil is of far greater import
ance than most of our farmers have
suspected. 1t is far better to cult
vate often than after long lapses OF
time, as in the latter case the ground
becomes hard, capillary tubes are
formed, and soil moisture is wasted.

The Universal Fruit.

The strawberry is coming to be con-
sidered the universal fruit and called
such, though we must acknowledge
that there. are places on the globe
where it will not grow. However: it
has wider range of habitation than
any other fruit known to Americans,
not excepting the apple. From the
Gulf 'to'.British America it is grown
abundantly. 1t is easy to propagate,
easy to protect from the cold of win
ter and is easy to transport. 1t is all
the more popular, as it is the first
fruit to appear on our tables in the
spring. Every year the strawberry ap-
pears a little earlier in the northern
market, and it looks as if before long
it would be on our tables the year
round. In fact strawberry enthu-
siasts are predicting that when the
great international railroad that is to
connect the United States with the
South American countries is. con-
structed, strawberries will be con-
tinually purchasable in the United
States, as the South American sea-
sons run the opposite of ours. This
is dream very likely to materialize,
as the transportation companies can
be depended on to encourage a trade
OF this kinda trade that has ALWAYS
yielded the railroads a good deal Of
money.

The Preachers Evidence.

Roland, ILL.,, June 27.-Diabetes has
so long been looked upon as an incur
able form of kidney disease that a
sure cure for it must rank as one of
the most valuable medical discoveries
of the age. And every day brings
forth fresh evidence that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills will cure diabetes. I'm
portant evidence in their favor is Civ
en- by Rev. Thos. P. Norman, the we'll
known Baptist minister here. Mr..
Norman says:
Il had all the symptoms of a bad
case of diabetes and received so much
benefit from the use of Dodd's Kidney
Pills that cheerfully recommend
them to anyone suffering from that
dread disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills
will cure the worst form of diabetes -
-Dodd's Kidney Pills always, cure
diabetes, one Of the final stages Of
kidney disease. All the earlier stages
from backache to rheumatism are
naturally much more easily cured by
the same remedy.

In the pippina of Cattle.

The government a short time ago
issued a proclamation prohibiting the
transportation of NANCY cattle except
after having been dipped. We pub,
lished a summary of the requirements
at the time. We note some additional
points that may be of interest to
some of our readers. The dipping
must be thoroughly done, and the cat
tie must be kept in the dip two or
three minutes, having been com.
pletely\ submerged twice. The tenn.
peratur e of the dip should be main.
tanned at l05 degrees or as nearly
that as possible, while the cattle are
in it. 1t must be changed as soon as
it becomes filthy, regardless OF the
dipping should be done in cold wealth
er unless the men having charge of
them have provided warm pens in
which the animals may be kept till
dry. The cattle must not be loaded
onto cars till they have become dry.
Where large numbers of cattle are
ready for shipment and have not been
dipped, the government will send in
spectors and those animals found to
be free from scabies will be permitted
to go forward without being dipped.
All public stock yards are considered
by the inspectors as having been in.
fected and no animal will be permit
ted to be shipped out without dipping
except where part of stock yards have
been set aside for the use of uninfect,
ed cattle.

T. What Limits the Height Of Trees. )
While the young trees are making
clean trunks so rapidly during the
period of greatest yearly height growth
they are also making their greatest
annual gains in diameter, for these
two forms of growth generally culmi-
nate about the same time, says Gift
ford Pinchot in report on. forest
trees. A little later, If there is any
difference, the young forests highest
yearly rate of growth in volume is
also reached. For time these three
kinds of growth keep on at. the same
rate as in the past, but afterwards, all
three begin to decrease. Growth in
diameter, and in volume also, if the
trees are sound, goes on until ex-
IRENE old age, but height growth sinks
very low while the two others are
still strong. For many years before
this happens the struggle between the
trees has not been so deadly, because
they, have been almost without the
means OF overlapping one another.
When the end of the period of princi-
pal height growth is reached the trees
are interfering with each other very
little, and the struggle for life begins
again in a different way. AS the
principal height growth ceases, and
the tops no longer shoot up rapidly
above the side branches, the crowns
lose their pointed shape and become
comparatively fiat. The chief reason
why trees stop growing in height is
that they are not able to keep the
upper parts of their crowns properly
supplied with water above a certain
distance from the ground. This dis
lance varies in different kinds of trees,
and with the health and vigor OF the
tree in each species, but there is a
limit in every case above which the
water does not reach. The power OF
the pumping machinery, more than
ANY other quality, determines the
height of the tree.

Don't Wait for the Weed

farmer will but cultivate before thov
make an appearance. A good manv

pose of keeping down weeds. Thew

see the weeds starting by the thou

ing crops. The cultivator should be
run at frequent intervals, whether the
weeds have appeared or not. This is
the surest way Of keeping them from
making trouble. The ground too when
free from weeds is very easy to cult
vate and the cultivator slides through
it with very little effort on the part
of the team. Don't wait for the weed

Il to Combat the Nervous Depressioe. y
II IF: Incident 10 Warm Weather. !

~ Nervousness is very common AMONG
women. This cond ition is due To-
an@mic nerve centers. The nerve CEN
ters are the reservoir for nerve Vitality.
These centers become blOodleSs for thf>
want of proper nutrition. r. p .t--..-
= This condition is especially noticeable
during the warm season. Every SUM
mer an army Of invalids are produced -
q direct result Of weak nervous systema-
This could easily be overcome by tho
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the trouble by correcting the.
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve CEN
tiers. Perfectly digested food gives these
reservoirs of life q vitality which cre-
ates strong, steady nerves, and im this.
manner fortifes and nourishes Life.
Miss Blanche Grey "a prominent young
society woman of Memphis, Tenn, ina
recent letter from ia Alabama street,
writes: ':To society wdhan whose
nervous force is often taxed to the
meals, know Of nothing which is OF So
much benefit as Peruna. I took it a.
few months ago when felt my strength
giving way, and IL soon made jrseke
manifest In giving me new strength
and health. '-Mfss 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
runa is perfectly harmless. 1t can b.
used any length of time without acquir-
ing a drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. It is pernzn~
nent in it's effect.
It has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by 70
moving the cause of catarrh. There
are multitude of homes where PerunD
has been used off and on for twenty
years. Such a thing could not be pos
sible if Peruna contained any drugs q
narcotic nature.
At this season of the year we are
peculiarly liable to infammatiens of tho
stomach and bowels. 1t is the part Of
wisdom to learn how to cut them shos1
and in the easist and quickest manner.
Peruna does this by its peculiar power
