IA COMRADE OF GENERAL GRANT
Do Not Believe Pe-ru-na Has a
Superior for Cdtarrh.
Pe-ru-na is a Catarrhal Tonic
Especially Adapted to the
Declining Powers of
Old Age.

In old age the mucous membranes be-
come thickened and partly lose their func-
ton.
This leads TO partial loss of hearing,
smell and taste, as well as digestive dis
turbances.
Peruna corrects all this by its specific
operation on all the mucous membranes
of the body.
One bottle win convince anyone. Once
used, and Peruna becomes a lifelong
standby with old and young.

GOOD BACON HOGS.
the People Were Learning to
Appreciate Good Bacon Rather
Than Fat Pork.

The American people need some ed
ucation before they can appreciate
good bacon. We are a nation OF
grease eaters and want solid chunks
of hog fat and want plenty of lard in
which to fry our food, for fried food
being difficult and slow OF digestion,
allays hunger for a longer time than
more digestible food. And then food
saturated with hog grease is more
easily swallowed, thus enabling us to
eat faster, and more Of it before hun
ger is a~ppeased. We are a pushing,
money-making race, and can not afford
to waste our time eating food that
must be mas icated, and saturated
with saliva be.iore it can be swallowed
Therefore, much time is saved by sat

must live, and 1t would be cruel, II
not selfish, TO adopt a system that
would deprive them OF much of their
practice. In this country, the pork
hog, or this lard hog, brings the best
prices at the great pork factories, and
before the bacon hog can be grown
successfully u people must<learn TO
appreciate good bacon, rather than fat
pork. The Tamworth is the fa7orite

Water is the most potent factor In
farming. Some farmers can't get
enough water on their fields, and 9th
ers can't get the water off. Irriga-
ton and draining are therefore the
most important subjects for a%gricultu-
raj contemplation. In buying a farm,
or land to be devoted to farming,
facilities for drainage should be con-
sidered. 1t is often the case that good
drainage can be secured by proper lay
ing out of fields and a very little of
ditching. Irrigation, to some extent at
least, can be provided for by damming
a ravine and blowing out burrows to
direct the course Of the storm water.
But generally this calls for ~eleyating
the water by windmills, or other pow
er. Some land can be irrigated from
shallow wells by pumping to an ele-
waited reservoir and putting the water
on the land by the gravity process,
Drainage is almost as important as ir'
rigation, and can be made a much less
costly process, Too much water is as
deleterious as too little,-Farm and
Ranch.

Modern Farming.

The idea may prevail that the main
feature of an agricultural course is to
teach boys to pillow, SOW and reap, and
to do other familiar manual labor of
the farm. Such instruction Is chiefly
necessary for the boy from the city
who has never handled a farm tool,
What the boy needs most to study is
the natural sciences which underlie
all farm practices. He needs to know
the laws of plant life as he may study
of them in botany. He needs to know
the habits of insects that destroy his
fruits and vines as he may study them
in entomology. He needs to know of
the composition and physical prop
critics of the soil as he may study them
in chemistry and physics, Therefore
these four sciences have a large place
in a course in agriculture. The stu
dent likewise needs a knowledge of
English history, civil government,
mathematics, drawing, etc, that he
may become a well-rounded mana
good citizen as well as a handy man at
his vocation. An agricultural course
is one of the most delightful a person
may follow. Some men say 1t is the
best course in the universities which
have an agricultural department, be-
cause it deals so intimately with the
things of everyday life.-Sunset Mag

hogs are kindly disposed and very
vigorous and healthy. Perhaps II these
hogs were raised In large numbers, a
good market could be built up for
them. But at present the demand is
for pork and grease, and not for bacon
with alternate layers of fat and lean,
AT present we would not advise the
raising of Tamworth hogs except for
home use, Poland Chinas, Berkshires,
Duroc-Jerseys, and other breeds that
run largely to fat, are best for market
ing, as the packers ill pay more for
them.-Texas Farm and Ranch.

Machinery ON the Farm.

The importance of mechanical pow
err on a farm is not generally appreci-
ated as it ough to be. Every con-
t~riyance that lessons muscular labor
is a time saver. Many progressive
farmers use improved implements for
preparing land, planting, cultiyating
and harvesting their crops; but all are
operated by hand or horse power. A
power is needed that can be used in
side the barn, to run a thresher, TO
grind feed, to operate the Churn, to
pump water. to saw wood, to turn a
lather or grindstone. There are many
powers adopted to these purposes, but
many farmers do not use them. some
farmers are not able to buy a steam
or gasoline engine, or an efficient
windmill. In such cases a tread mill
operated by horses, at little expendi-
ture of muscular energy, will be found
cheap and efficient. It a be hauled
from place to place by a team OF
horses, and then operated by the same
team. There is no danger from explo-
sion or fire in these machines, and
they can do an immense amount or
money saving labor.-TeXas Farm and
