Nothing Better Tran Pe-ru-na for

G. p. Dorr, Hotel johnson, Washing

to anyone who wants safe and perma-
nent cure for catarrh. For throat, lung
and catarrhal trouble there is nothing
better than Peruna."-C. P. Dorr.
Colds Lead TO Chronic Catarrf.
A common cold is acute catarrh, which
quickly becomes chronic catarrh IL al
lowed to remain.
Every cold snap leaves in its trail
thousands of cases of catarrh, many of
whom for want Of an effective remedy,
will suffer from this disease the rest Of
their lives.
Is there anything that can be done to
prevent all this?
In the first place, Peruna used at the
proper time will prevent taking cold.
In the second place, Peruna will cure
cold in from two to five days.
Again, Peruna will cure catarrh quick
ly in the first stages, and finally Peruna
will also cure chronic catarrh, if used
properly and persistently.
PerIgna kept in the house and prop
eriy used will therefore NOT only act as
a safeguard against the ailments which
result from sudden cold waves, but
wiz also prove a sure remedy for this
class OF ailments.

shows that many are annually harvest
ing less than half of this quantity
Since the average crop in the states
best adapted to corn growing is but
little above the general average of the
entire country, it is evident that the
average is not lowered to any great ex-
tent by the poor crops in sections I'M
suited to corn growing. Moreover, the
yield per acre in the New England
states, with their poor soil and short
growing season, is greater than in any
other part of the country. This clearly
indicates the possibility of greatly in
creasing the yield per acre in the corn
belt This is especially easy of ac-
cOmpliShment in the southern states,
where the present average is low and
where the growing season is not short
ened by frosts.
The most valuable information re-
garding the growing of corn in any
particular section can be obtained
from unprecedented observant corn
growers of many years experience;
and the writer wishes to thank the
hundreds who have so kindly given
him such information. The fact that
the experiences of growers in different
localities and the reports of expert
ments from the various state expert
ment stations do not agree should not
lower the estimation of the value of
either Such disagreement follows nee

he would perceive the economy OF
growing a soil-enriching, leguminous
plant between the corn rows. On the
broad prairies of the western statea
he would learn methods of curtailing
expenses by the use Of plows, Planters
cultivators and corn harvesters, de-
signed so that one man can work Q
large number of horses and thereby &C.
complish a maximum of work. With
such implements one man can, without
help, plant and care for 40 or so acres
of corn in addition to his other crops
The same methods and implements ara
suitable for many farms where more
tedious and laborious methods are now
followed.
While it is true that proper attention
to seed selection and methods of cul-
tivation will greatly increase the aver
age production per acre for all land
now devoted to corn growing, it is

equally true that the cultivation Of
corn will never be found profitable on
very poor land. Some growers, from
force Of habit, perhaps, every spring
plant corn on land which they know is
too poor to produce profitable corn.
The blowing and cultivating of poor
soil is as expensive as the blowing and
cultivating of fertile soil Corn grow
ing should not be attempted on such
land until 1t is brought into a fertile
condition by the growing and blowing
under of leguminous crops, the appli-
cation OF manureS, etc. In the mean
time some of the crops that require
less fertility than corn may be grown.
1t should be remembered that the ma
ture Of the corn plant is such that it
will not produce grain unless the soil
is rich enough to afford a considerable
growth of stalk, and that the belt yield
of ears is not obtained unless the
stalks have made a maximum growth.
For this reason some other plants will
produce small or fair crops on soil too
poor to produce corn. A cotton plant
adjusts its yield of lint to the fertility
of the coil, small plant producing a
small number of bolls containing lint
of as good a quality as that from
larger plant bearing many more bolls.
A hay crop is also quite regular in
proportion to the fertility of the soil.
This is not true, however, of corn.
When poor soil dwarfs grass to half its
normal size, the crop of hay is reduced
by about one-half, but when poor soil
dwarfs the corn plants to half their
normal size it is probable that there
