GARDEN NOTES.

Look over the garden tools and get
them in condition for the spring work.
Guinea hens are notorious bug
catchers, and the orchards is a good
place for them to roam.
Examine the cherry and plum trees
now. and If you find that you over
looked any of those black knots re-
move them.
A great deal of crowding and waste
of growth can be prevented by rubbing
off all imperfect shoots while they are
yet in the bud
If you haven't shed in which to
store manure, the best way to dispose
of it is to haul it out to the garden and
scatter it where most needed.
Many farmers make lot OF plans
in the winter time, but when spring
comes they forget all about them.
Plans are no good unless they are
executed.
After cutting of limb of any con-
siderable size the wound should be

SOW TREATED SEED.
Or. Alexander Says That Better Hs'
suits Will Be Obtained.

Despite the fact that investigators
have definitely decided upon treatment
which proves effective for the preven-
ton of smut in grain, such as oats,
barley and other cereals. many iaf"-
ers do not seem disposed to go to the
trouble OF thus improving their seeu.
1t is stated by Prof Moore of the WIS
consln Experiment Station that last
year but one-third of the farmers OF
the state treated their seed, although
in one year 190D one-fourth OF the
entire oat crop OF Wisconsin was de-
stroyed by smut. causing a money loss
of over s5.O00,000. There is no need
of having any loss. Treating the sesa
one season protects the crops for sew
eral seasons, as once the spores OF
smut are eradicated it takes several
seasons for the smut to again anect
the grain.
This being the case, farmers are
apt to become careless, and 1t is our
opinion that, as the treatment is SIM
pie, inexpensive and easy to give. 1t
would be wise policy to use it every
season ito make assurance douply
sure" The treatment consists In
soaking seed oats in a solution OF one
pint of 40 per cent. formaldehyde to
36 gallons Of water. The grain Is
placed in small gunny sacks, holding,
say, one bushel each, and each sack OF
grain in turn is soaked in the solution
for ten minutes, and then allowed to
drain for a time, so that the surplus
fluid returns to the solution tank or
barrel Afterward the soaked grain
is spread out on the granary floor TO
dry, but when ready for use is some
what swollen and damp, SO that the
seeder has to be set to SOW bushel
extra to the acre to care for it prop
erly.
Another plan is to soak seed oats
in hot water, temperature 1877 Fahren-
heit, and this is said to have the same
beneficial effect as formaldehyde solu-
ton, and of course costs practically
nothing. This seed treating business
is just like weed destruction opera
tions. A man gets rid of his weeds,
and his thriftless, careless neighbor
grows big enough crop of weed pests
to keep each farm surrounding him
fully seeded annually. If each farmer
were TO destroy weeds so they would
not go to seed and smut the neighbor-
hood, farms soon would be clear of
weeds. So If seed were treated each
year against smut by each farmer in a
commounity the crops would always
be safe against this pest, the spores
of which are blown from one field to
another.

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Palm Turned This Woman's Hair
White but She Was Cured by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which is the cause of your
suffering. That is the message which
former victim of neuralgia sends to
those who are still in it's grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others that reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain Is sure to return with
greater intensity
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has a
beautiful homo at S11 Boulevard
West. Detroit, Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says:
My trouble began about six years
ago and did not rest as I should
hare, but kept up about my many
duties. After a time l became SO
weak l could not do any work at all.
l had severe backaches and such
dreadful headaches in the back part
and top of my head. My eyes were
easily tired and at times 1 saw black
spots before them. 7 consulted sew
eral doctors but without the slightest
Deneft The pains were so intense
that my hair turned white.
Il lost continually in weight and
strength and was almost in despair
when friend recommended DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. / tried them ac-
cording to directions and soon began
to feel relief. At the end of three
months l had gained ten pounds in
weight and had no more trouble with
my nerves. have been in perfect
health ever since and can heartily
commend DR.. Williams Pink Pills"

TOMATOES AS A FIELD CROP.
The Kind of Soil That is Best and
Its Preparation.

This crop is more profitably grown
on good clay subsoil or low lands bor-
dering on our bays and rivers. The
seed should be selected by every
grower. Sow the first seed about the
middle of April, in well prepared soil,
where the tomato plant has not been
grown for five years at least. Spray
plants in the bed three times with
Bordeaux mixture. This will help the
first blossoms to resist the blight;
If they do not drop, you are pretty
sure of a crop.
A sod field of scarlet or crimson
clover covered in the winter with 10
loads of manure per acre, plowed un-
der in April and kept well narrowed.
should be used. Mark out rows four
feet with plow, SOW down these rows
600 pounds per acre of phosphate com
posed of four per cent ammonia. nine
per cent phosphoric acid, ten per
cent potash. Then cover and mark
rows crosswise with light marker four
feet; give shallow cultivation and
plenty of 1t when the vines are not
wet with dew or rain, up to the time
they begin to ripen.
Early tomatoes require hotbeds and
cold frames to grow the plants to a
strong. stocky condition, with bios
SONS set before transplanting to field.
Light, high, warm soil, with not SO
much vegetable matter, is the best.
Mark rows three feet each way and
drop half small shovelful of well
composted manure in hill. Set your
plants with as much dirt as will hold
to them in this manure and cult
vate well. A little nitrate of soda
around the plants after they start to
grow is helpful. Pull off the poor,
knotty or specked tomatoes as they
ripen.
Never wait for a season of rain.
says Farm and Home. but set your
plants when ground it dry, sun is hot
and nights warm. By pouring little
water around each plant, small.
fibrous roots will start from the plant
the first night they are set, when

U. S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal Ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh7 Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is In real
ity sucA catarrh remedy7 Let US see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients Of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
Of this herbal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
(nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia lea
tarrh of the shomach), chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice, (ca-
tarrh of the liver) and in diseased
mucous membranes Of the pelvic organs.
It Is also recommended for the treat
ment Of various forms of diseases Pc
culiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, Is classed in the United
States Dispens satory as tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as a stomschic and as
a tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says of the action
of cedron that it is used as bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysentery,
md in intermittent diseases as a sub
stitute for quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient of
Peruna, is classed by the United States
Dispensatory as a mild stimulant and
diuretic. 1t acts on the stomach and
intestinal tract. 1t acts, as stimu-
liant on the genito-urinary membranes.
Useful in chronic cystids, chronic dys-
entery and diarrhea, and some chronic
diseases of the liver and kidneys.

Tragedies of Paris Pantheon.

1t is probable that the remains of
Emile Zola will be allowed to rest in
peace in the Pantheon. Some of his
illustrious predecessors, however,
have suffered another fate. The body
of Maribeau, buried in the Pantheon
in 1871, was turned out when Marat
was placed there in 1898. Later the
remains of Voltaire and Rousseau
were subjected to similar indignity,
one version being that they were re-
moved in a sack one night and igno-
miniously disposed of in the open
country. According to another ver-
sion. Voltaire's body was removed

The plan is brought out in the ac-
companying illustration. Instead of
using an extension of the frame or the
front to keep wheel entirely clear of
the box, our correspondent places the
wheel at the further end and builds
a protective cover on the inside of the
box in which the wheel turns. The
advantages are that the load is closer
to the wheel and there is less labor

UTILIZING CORN FODDER.
The Best Way Is to Cut II Up Into
Short Lengths.

1t is desirable to utilize all the
food value there is in the corn fodder.
though the usual way of feeding 1t to
the stock is very wasteful method
Where the daily supply of fodder is
thrown In the barn yard at feeding
time, what the cattle do not eat is
trampled down and destroyed SO far
as the feeding value is concerned.
The leaves and the stock are all stock
will eat. From one-third to one-half
the length of the fodder is readily
eaten in racks without cutting. When
the stalks are heavy. coarse and hard,
the upper half may be cut for feed
with a sharp broad axe and heavy
block If but few cattle are fed. For
larger herd, says correspondent
of Farm and Home, we have adopted
a large shearing knife, home made,
