Yours very truly, W. NJ. Lord.
It will be noticed that the Governor
says he has not had occasion to use Pc
runa for other ailments. The reason
for this is, most other ailments begin
with cold. Using Peruna to promptly
cure colds, heprotects his family against
other ailments. This is exactly what
every other family in the United States
should do. Keep Peruna in the house.
Use it for coughs, colds, la grippe, and

Look After the Pigs.

Now, before severe weather sets in,
is the time to push your pigs. The same
food will make more flesh in warm
than in cold weatherI The average
tenant or small farmer has not count
ed the value of fat hog for his family.
A good hog, ten to twelve months old
can be grown upon the Stops of any
family. Many families could feed two
or three and never miss what they eat.
This hog should now wewigh $50
pounds or more. Such a hog is worth
more than thirty dollars to the family.
If you have not provided for this
fall, now is the time to look out for
next fall. Get a few pigs and try the
experiment.
Almost any of the improved breeds
will do. The Yorkshires are being es-
pecially recommended for this purpose.
They are perhaps worthy good trial.
They make more meat and less lard.
Keep pig or few pigs, but be sure
to keep clean pig-pen. 1t is easily
done when once you fix for it. Have a
good, tight floor and slant it SO that all
the dorppings will be easily collected
and carried to the farm CT garden

Kid Versus Lamb.

Any farmer who will feed and fur
nish all the fat kids that a town of
1000 to 10000 inhabitants will con-
sumo, will soon find the demand ex-
ceeding the supply and that he must
enlarge his flock. Kids are easily fat

Of cotton seed meal twice a day, with
sufficient browsing, will do the work

tened at less cost than lambs, and
consequently at better profit, and
yet they are rarely found in our city

The first producing oil we'll was 10
PENNSYLVANIA in 1865. Originally
when oil was struck, the drill was re-
moved and nothing more was done to
the we'll. The oil flowed, or was
pumped, and the owner was satisfied.
But there was yet TO be discovered a
means of making the flow greater and
that was to send an explosive to the
bottom of the well add open larger
cavity than the drill had left. How
this discovery came about is not def
niuely known. Mr.. j. B. Levy Of
Cherryvale. who knows all the legend
and lore Of "PetrOIia" says it came by
accident, as all valuable discoveries
of science are made. In 1869 drill
became fastened ia well and an ex
plosive was sent down and touched
off to release it. The explosion re
leased the drill aud 1t also caused
greater flow of oil. This led To the
opportunity OF Prof. Roberts OF

Scientific men who read the story OF

the coal deposits the imprint OF ferns

Even casts Of trunks OF prodigous

evitable that In some age OF the mys-

its Judgment there was period when
the earth was densely covered with
trees and other vegetat,ou. This
growth was SO big as to literally
clothe the earth for an Unreasonable
space of time. There was no ANNA
life to destroy it and everything was
favorable for the production of rant
aud luxuriant growth. Finally tn
inevitable revolution came and this
vegetable growth became a vegetable
deposit buried beneath deep strata OF
rock. 1t took an infinite space or
time for nature to dn this, an infinite
space of time afteward for natures
chemistry to convert the vegetation
into new forms and products, and an
infinite space to lay and soidify TIL

growth of the vegetation a deluge OF
sand swept oyer it. Other revolu

until by heat and pressure the several
strata of shale and sandrock were
formed. The heat, expelliDg the
moisture. caused the rock to break

receptacles, or reservoirs. for the oil
when distilled from the vegetable
matter below. Decomposition Of the
vegetable matter set free its gases
and by process of distillation the
petroleum was made, and In natures
