Losses by bitches and cullies.

Losses py DttCnes ana SulieS.
One of the noted Weaknesses of
American farming is the tendency to
permit a considerable per cent of the
land TO lie idle on account of gullies
and bitches. In countries where land
has been high in price Tor century
or more the land is more carefully
looked after in the way OF keeping 1t
all in use. Habits OF farming are hard
to break up. and the American farm
ing habit is not to put high value on
the land even after the price in the
market has come up.
bitches and gullies In fields can be
seen In every part of the country
where the land is rolling or hilly and
the rainfall is considerable. The old
open ditch is disappearing but slowly.
II the farmer that owns a few will
take his tape measure and find out
the amount of land kept out of use
by these bitches and gullies he will
come to the conclusion that Il is far
cheaper for him to purchase tile and
abolish the open bitches. The land
actually comprised in the ditch is con-
siderable, but to II must be added a
still greater quantity comprising the
unused parts along the edges.
The writer has in mind meadow
on farm devoted to mixed farming.
The meadow is cut crosswise by an
open ditch that takes the water from
q ditch by roadside and conveys it
across the meadow into another open
ditch in a pasture Whenever a wagon
has to be taken to one end of the
meadow 1t must be taken into the pub.
lie highway again before reaching the
other end. Haying operations on one
side OF this open ditch cannot be ex-
tended to the other part of the field
without all the implements being
taken around the ditch II this
! meadow is ever plowed up, and IT
should be, the amount of land lost
to cultivation will be large The
amount OF water going through this
open ditch is too large to permit OF
the use of ordinary sized drain tile
bu. the larger sizes can be used, and
| IL that is too expensive stone may be
used, which exists in abundance In the
neighboring pasture.
One Of the most expensive bitches
that we know of exists in a 24-acrt
pasture of a farmer that we know
The ditcn runs the length OF the pas
ture and increases its length by not
running straight 1t is about three
feet deep and the bottom is about
three feet wide. The rains OF the
years have modified the abruptness o
the top and now the ditch is not les;
than eight feet wide at the top. Aftel
every rain there are innumerable cave
ins OF the sides, and some changes II
the windings of the channel. Thi.
winding channel is largely the cause
OF the cave-ins, as it sends the floot
waters with great force against Ger
tain points in the sides. just as do tn,

LOST EYESIGHT
Through Coffee Drinking

hav. been but few cases OF its kind
before, and they have been caused by
whisky or tobacco. Leach has never
used either, but has been a great cof-
fee drinker, and the specialists have
decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that
for several years he had drank three
cups OF coffee for breakfast, two at
noon and one at night. According to
the records of the specialists Of this
country this is the first case ever
caused by the use of coffee.
The nerve is ruined beyond aid and
his case is ineurable. The fact that
makes the case a queer one is that the
sight forward has been lost and the
side sight has been retained. Accord
ing TO the Doctors statement. the
young man will have to give up cof-
|f;e or the rest OF his sight will fol-
NV and the entire nerve be ruined

Farm Help.

One of the greatest problems OF
the day is farm help. Many a
farmers success or failure depends
upon his securing men and women
that are intelligent and honest enough
10 do the work of farm as 1t should
be done. This is especially true with
a man owning large farm or with a
man that must manage his farm from
distance. II will pay the owner OF
such a farm TO pay good salary to
married man to run his farm and
take an interest in ii. Low compen.
sation is always cause Of ineffciency
A man cannot be enthusiastic In his

work is so small that he cannot live

II is absolutely necessary for
a man with limited capital
to breed up pedigreed dairy
herd slowly and also much safer for

there is opportunity TO become fami.
liar with the breed and individual
characteristics. II is better TO grow

than to jump into II.

The soldier and the sailor are es-
pecially subject to catarrh. In the
barracks and on the field, Peruna is
found equally efficacious to overcome
this physical enemy. If taken in time
it will prevent colds from developing
into catarrh. Even after a cold has
settled in some organ of the body.
Peruna can be relied upon as an eff
cacious remedy to promptly overcome
it.
Peruna will relieve catarrh, whether
acute or chronic, but few doses of
it taken in the first stages OF the dis
case will be more effective than when
the disease has become established.
