CAR LOADS OF HONEY.

Uvalde County. Texaa, IBrenks All
 Records.
 San Antonio, Tex, Dec. 1--(Special.) A new record in American exports was established lately when three car- loads -of honey were shipped from Uvalde, near this city, to England
 Uvalde is the largest single honey producing county in the United States and owing to the abundance of a very fragrant wild plant called guajilla. makes a honey of such clearness and quality that it is featured on the New York bills of fare.

BEST rracer.

Americans, as a people, are probaF'!!
the most nervous Of any In the world
and there is a growing tendency to us,
'bracers''-a use which quickly devel
ops into a habit. With men it. is usual
ly a drink and with women some bro
mide preparation. Tea and coffee are
also called upon to a large extent, but
their effects are slight.
Probably the best ''bracer" for the
nerves-and one which is certainly
harmless-ls cold water. The Russians
have great faith in this cure, splashing
it over the face and holding the hands
in it for several minutes. Then Il glass.

prescription is a glass of hot mills
slipped very slowly, and many Englisl
physicians indorse that remedy. The
milk should be as hot as the patient
can stand it.
A number of the best French doctors
advise such of their patients as suffer
from nerves to sit quietly for half AZ
hour with bare feet.

Barley for Hogs.

After several years experience l am
convinced that for growing pigs be-
tween the age of two to six months
barley is preferable to corn if only one
thing Is fed. But to be able to feed
barley profitably it must be finely
ground and soaked at least six hours
before it is given to the pigs. 1t should
always be fed in the form of a very
thick slop. Skim milk is preferable to
water for making the slop, especially
for young pigs. 1 once fed a lot of
pigs five months old, and they made a
gain of 2A pounds a day each on finely
ground barley fed as a very thick slop
with a liberal quantity of skim milk.
For very young pigs l prefer to feed
equal parts of shorts and ground bar
ley, and then gradually change 1t to
one-half each of corn and barley the
last six weeks. when finishing for mar

Hogs for Strengthening.

Hogs to be slaughtered should not
be fed t~wcnty-fcur hours before slaugh.
tering. They will not bleed freely.
Nor should they become heated by
chasing, or any other cause. 1t like
wise has a tendency to check the flow
of blood. Nor should a hog be scald-
ed until fully expired. After the hog
is hung up and the intestines, lungs.
heart and all are removed and washed
out, split the hog right through the
center, leaving n small attachment
near the tail and at the end Of the
snout, so as not to oyerbalance it !;
and as soon as the leaf lard is cold
enough to be principally removed, take
it out. This will insure the perfect
cooling of the meat. This last precau-
ton we learned from large numbering
concerns and packers in the early days,
when selling dressed hogs. We have
found it a safe practice. The heavier
the hog the more essential its quick
and perfect cooling. Never allow meat
to freeze solid, or pack it in a frozen
condition, for it is sure to spoil

The electrolytic recovery of gold
from sea water is still a dream Of
many European chemists. A. Modem
proposes to use as electrodes sheets OF
copper and lead or lead and cast iron,
each about one-twenty-fifth of an inch
in thickness, and to surround these
plates with porous canvas bags for col
lecting the gold that fails to adhere.
The baths, within reach of the tide,
would have a depth of two meters and
a width Of ten meters (about thirty
three feet). With cement partitions
every forty femets, a battery of 100
such baths could be run together, and
Ut is calculated that this would furnish
$50 grams of gold per day Of twelve
hours. In this time, 5000 cubic meters
Of water would be treated, a current
of 5000 ampers at 2.5 volts being re-
CURED. The annual cost is estimated
at $4,000, and the profits are figured
at $4,000 on a capital of $4,000.

In the majority of cases 1T pays TO
stack grain in the corn belt, or in sec
lions where diversified farming, in dis
tinction from all small grain or one
crop farming, is conducted. The differ
ence in the cost of shock-thrashing and
stacking and stack-thrashing, is com
paratively small, smaller than the aver
age farmer realizes. We have a few
figures on the subject from the Min
nesota Experiment Station which will
be Of special interest in this connec-
ton. The cost per bushel Of shock
thrashing wheat was "A cents, while
the cost of stacking and stack-thrasl-
ing was 1O.1 cents per bushel, a dir
ference Of 81 cents per bushel. In
the per bushel cost mentioned all labor,
machine cost, etc., is taken into con-
sideration. Lei us see what this I:
Under ordinary conditions stacked
grain will grade at least one grade
above grain that is thrashed from the
shock, and in a WEI season the differ
ence may be a great deal more than
that. If you watch the markets you
will find there is usually a difference
of 2 cents in the price of No. 1 North
ern and No. 2 Northern wheat. This
a that the gain of one grade in,
wheat nearly, pays the extra cost in
cident to stacking and stack thraShing
as compared with shock-thrashing.

Varieties of Smut,
Democrat

There are several varieties Of smut
that are known as the "stinking' smut,
or bunt, attacking the kernels of
wheat, while the variety known as
loose" smut attacks the whole head,
converting it into n mass of loose,
dusty spores. The loose smut OF oats
IS also another variety, and is very
similar to that of wheat. Barley is
attacked by two SHUTS n rye by one.
Corn smut does not do as much dam
age as the other kinds, u Is more wide
spread. There Is NJ known remedy
FOR corn smut. Experiments made In
treating the seeds OF wheat, oats, bar
ley, etc, show that by preventing smut
the yield Of crops is greater, even when
the disease is light, thus demonstrate
ing that there is an effect exerted on
the producing capacity of the plants
when smut is not apparently present
sufficiently to do some damage. All
the smuts except that which attack
corn can be prevented by the farmer
If he will carefully treat his seed In
some so as to destroy the
spores, but, unfortunately, the majority
of farmers do not use precautionary
measures. and thus the negligence Of
only one or two persons in a commun-
ity may neutralize the efforts of many.
1t should be the aim of every farmer
to do his part in the matter Of rid
ding the community of pests.

To De.troy Thistles.

Salt or kerosene, applied after the
clump of thistles is cut down, will de-
stroy them, but such method is slow
and costly where the field is in posses
sion of the pest. Many other methods
have been suggested for their applf-
cation. A piece of root crock an inch
long If left in the soil will make Il
foundation for IL new crop. A piece
2 inches long will grow s to 10 feet
in six months, n weigh 3 or 4 pounds,
n from ZACH small piece from forty
to fifty heads will grow. An old rule
is to pillow the land in June, drag
twice in July, pillow = or 3 inches deep
two Or three times in August and har-
row a time.". Any tool that will
cut off the tops in August or early in
September will destroy them, as they
cannot live if the tops are cut down.
Experiments made at the Illinois sta
ton succeeded in completely eXterml-
mating them by observing the follow
Ing rules: (1) Cut the thistles wher
In full bloom, rs close to the ground
as possible, and then pillow 3 inches
deep, sowing mile. or Hungarian grass,
seeding heavily, and then harrow. (2)
In September pillow the millet under
and then seed heavily with rye. Plow
the rye under in May and again seed
20 millet or Hungarian grass Cor plant
q hoe crop, such as cabbages or pota-
toeS). CD Continue the close cult
vation, being careful to keep the weeds
cut down from July until frost. If
frost is not here too soon the con-
slant cutting down of the thistles as
fast as they appear Will greatly re-
duce their number or eXtermine them.

WHAT is PE-RU-NA?
Is it a Catasrh Remedy, or a
Tonic, or is it Both?

Some people call Peruua a grea!
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a
great catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are righta
Is it more proper to call Peruna a ca
tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic?
Our reply is, that Peruna is both q
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no efectual catarrh rem
edy that is not also a tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
"a of catarrh, a remedy must not
only have a specific action on the mu-
oous membranes affected by the ca
tarrh, but it must have a general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are
otherwise strong, is a weakened con-
dition Of some mucous membrane.
There must be something to strength
en- the circulation, to give tone to the
arteries, and to raise the vital forces.
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted so much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS
CANADENSIS. The wonderful eff
cacy Of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a
trio Of medical agents is formed in Pc
una which constitutes a specific rem
edy for catarrh that in the present
state of medical progress cannot be
improved upon. This action, rein.
forced by such renowned tonics as
COLLINS0NIA CANADENSIS, COR
YDALIS FORMOSA and CEDRON
SEED, ought to make this compound
an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its
stages and locations in the body.
From a theoretical standpoint, there.
fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The
use Of Peruna, confirms this opinion.
Numberless testimonials from every
quarter Of the earth furnish ample
evidence that this Judgment is not
over enthusiastic. When practical ex-
perience confirms a well-grounded the
DRY the result is q truth that cannot be
shaken.

Cost OF Hauling Farm

Cost OF Hauling Farm Products.
Frank Andrews of the United States
Agricultural Department, writes: tsYn
hauling products from farms in wagons
there are opportunities for a saving
in cost. In many regions in the United
States the improvement Of a road, or
q short, rough section Of q road, would
allow much larger loads to be hauled
than at present. If it were possible
to Increase the average weight of q
wagon load of cotton in the United
States from three bales, as it now is, to
four bales, without increasing the cost
of hauling the load, the saving on the
crop equal to the one picked in 1905
would amount to S2,O0O,O00; and if the
average load of wheat, now ffty-five
bushels, were increased by twenty
bushels, the saving increased in hauling
a crop like that of 1905 would be more
than SS,O0O,OOO."
