Best Land for Rhubarb.

If choice can be had, always select
warm welldrained soil for rhubarb.
Pillow the ground deeply, and mark
out the burrows four feet apart, and
set the young roots three feet from
each other in the rows A forkful of
well-composted manure should be
used for each hill. Set the plants deep
in the soil, placing the manure around
them well by using the feet. Cultivate
when required, says the Rura New
Yorker. No stalks should be pulled
the season of planting; it will ex-
haust the crowns before they are well
established. In winter, after the
ground is frozen, cover the crowns
with horse manure. Early the follow
ing spring fork the manure in the
soil around the plants, and cultivate
freely. After a few warm days the
stalk will be large enough to pull for
market.
Rhubarb is susally planted in the
spring, but for very early use the
roots should be taken up in autumn
and planted closely together in cold
frames. Cover the crowns with a
heavy layer of dry forest leaves.
Early in March the leaves are re-
moved and sash placed over them.

HOW DEAR The LANDS

How dear the lands that Genius gives.
Where Fancy roams and GIadness
lives,
Where Love and Glory keep their
bandsi
All other maps like empty sleeves
Leave naught but names upon our
hands:
How dear those lands,
There's Lilliput and Brobdingnag.
And Sinbads isles and all his swag,
And Prester Johns remotest sands:
OF all their splendor not a rag
This workday world today commands:
How dear those lands!
There's Sancho's Barbarian isle
And Haggards land below the Nile
Where underground a stream ex.
pands;
And Ruritania was the style
When last Romance had healthy
glands:
How dear those lands!

FORGOTTEN RIVER OF KANSAS,
Government Survey Shows Indica
tons of an Ancient Stream.


Indications of az ancient river oil

valley. which flowed through central
Kansas, have been found by the men
employed by the government and
state in photographic work to deter

the cities of Kansas. says the Ken

first appears near Salina and flows
southeast, running close to McPher

deep wells in that section. SO that
the exact width of the stream OF its
extent has not been determined. The
stream seems to have watershed OF
its own midway between the Arkan.

are now getting their water supply
from the bed of this old river.

tons will be taken up and the water
examined.
About $50 assays of water have
been made in Lawrence. where the
chemical work is being done. The
work in the southeast part of the
state has been finished. Five towns
In that section get the water from ar.
tesian wells and Mr.. Parker believes
that this water comes from the Ozark
mountains in Missouri. The Neosho
river furnishes the supply to the
largest number of towns. Six pump
water from this stream. Three towns
get the supply from the underflow
of the Arkansas river. Nearly every
stream of any consequence in the
state is used for furnishing the wa
ter supply of some town.
Stations where samples of the wa.
ter are taken from each stream are
established Throughout the state ex.

furnishes water to three towns and

This will bring the crop on two weeks

Tor best results it is practical to take
up the clumps and divide them every
four years. The stalks will be much

newly-planted roots than from the
old crowns. The same roots or

A Definition of Success

How have tne hypothetical SCIENTISTS

Now, those who have disposed of the

some of them have won what the

are applied in such cases, they have

Is Pc-ru-na Useful

Should list of the ingredients of Pc

years experience in the treatment Of
such diseases THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT

eficacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient
Of Peruna has a reputation of its own

SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat
ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and knowl-
edge ofthe modern pharmacist; and last
but notleast brings to tho home thevast
and varied experience Of DR.. Hartman,
intheuseof catarrh remedies, and in the
treatment Of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis
ease which is very prevalent Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one Of chronic
catarrh. 1t may be of the nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ, There is no doubt as to the ma
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried to
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and of
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can be supplied direct
