r Ike A DEMON grip has crossed
IL our country, leaving behind scores
of physical wrecks.
Victims of catarrh Of the head, catarrh
Of the throat, catarrh of the lungs,
catarrh of the stomach, catarrh OF the
kidneys, catarrh Of the pelvic organs,
are to be counted by hundreds of thou
sands.
Grip is epidemic catarrh, and sows the
seed of chronic catarrh within the
system.
This is SO true that few grip sufferers
are able to make complete recovery
until they have used Peruna.
Never in the history of medicine has
q remedy received such unqualified and
universal euiogies as Peruna.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once TO DR.. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

paigns.
Fourth-That Senator Plat talked
with President Mccall, of the New
York Life, about palitical contribu-

can state campaigns. President Nc

Life never made state campaign con-
tributions.

obligation not to attack the insurance
companies

Enormous Wool Imports.

Latest figures on the imports of wool
show that the United States during the
month of April imported almost 31,O00,-
000 pounds. This is a considerable in
crease on the imports of March and
shows total Importation of wool for
the ten months of the fiscal year of
19S,629.221 pounds. From present indi-
cations total imports for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1905. will be but little
short of 250,00000O pounds. This vol
ume of wool represents about five
sixths of our total production of do
mestic wool and shows the largest i'm
ports since the era of free wool.
The hunger of American manufactur.
ers for wool as shown by the surpris
ing volume of imports must be encour-
aging to American flock owners. The
encouraging prices that have been Sc
cured for both wool and lambs the last
two years should induce every farmer
who is not carrying good thrifty banG
Of breeding ewes prooortionate to his
pastures to provide himself with one
forthwith.
Breeding ewes at S400@4.25, the
prices at which the better classes are
bought, now look high as compares
with recent years, but still higher
prices for fulfil bred native ewes are
certain. for there is constant demand
for breeding ewes about three times
the available supply. For the good OF
the farms of this country and the bank
accounts of the farmers we need tc
raise more and import less wool.

Raisi6u a Good Dairy Calf.

A general rule for successfully rails
ing calves is hard to give. In general
cleanliness is one of the first things to
be observed, says George c. Humph-
rey, of the Wisconsin experiment sta
ton 1t is not natural for calf to
grow up successfully where it is con-
fined in filthy, dark pens, and has to
depend upon milk and water and other
feed from soured, filthy buckets and
troughs. Few men, perhaps, are sue
cess in raising good calves. The at
tention to the best welfare of the calf
seems to be essential as the feed itself
and will bring results that can be haa
in no other way. Such attention sees

sawed in two. The two pieces should
not be more than three feet apart, the
front one shod about two-thirds of its
length on the side nearest the ditch

The objection to plank drags is
that most farmers make them too
heavy. They don't have the thickness
where it is needed in the middle, and
have to be reinforced Having a two
inch surface on the ground, the frlc-
ton is necessarily greater. In short
these planks drags are almost always
too heavy, and the more so because
farmers think they must use hard
wood instead of light. The best log
to be used is an elm that will split

An expert road maker warns against
ambitious Improvement of the split log

undertakes to make a split log drag
tries to improve on it, and generally
not only fails to make an improve
