Are We Scrub FarmersY

We are all apt to practice scrub
methods of farming. For instance, we
allow the winter TO pass without max
ing the necessary preparation for spring
work. We plow around stumps and
big stones year after year; we ploy
through mudholes and harvest crop
Of weeds when few tiles and a little
labor would cause them to grow ,he
best crops on the farm. We do not NOW
our roadsides and we allow our grass
to become overripe before we cut It.

Tomatoes are imported in increasing
quantities each year from Italy. The
quality of these tomatoes is stated to
be good and the prices low. Large
quantities Of canned tomatoes are also
shipped now each season from Italy to
the eastern part of the United States,
and the American shipments to Italy
are much smaller than formerly. 1t Is
suggested by one of the leading import
ers in Liverpool that the American to-
matoes are frequently packed before
they are fully ripe, and that this prac-
tice renders them undesirable for Use
The Italian tomatoes are carefully Sc.
lected and are only packed after they
have attained a ripe and rich color.

What is Pe-fu-na.

Are we claiming too much'for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity such catarrh remedy? 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 lining various
organs Of the human body.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as tonic.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient of
Peruna. The United States DISPENSE
tory says of the action Of cedron that
1t is used as bitter tonic and in the
treatment of dysentery, and in inter-
mittent diseases as a substitute for
quinine.
Send to us for free book of testi-
monials of what the people think of Pc
runa as a catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony Of those who
have tried it.

A Sweep Rake.

The two main pieces in the frame
Of the sweep are made of 21a by inch
pine scantling; they are IL feet long
and about 20 inches apart. The teeth
are made of 2 by inch scantling, and
are 8 feet long they are beveled on the
tower side to slide over uneven ground.
The arms for hitching the whiiile trees
to should project about 2 feet inches
over the end Of the sweep; these are
made of 2 by inch stuff. The guide
arms should be 8 feet long by 21a by
inches. Each has about foot of chain
with ring on the end to fasten to the
breast strap of the harness.

cent is shown in the accompanying IL
lustration, patented by Minnesota
farmer.
1t consists of wooden frame or
casing across the top of which is a
leather support for the eggs, the latter
resting in flexible apertures. In the
bottom Of the casing is an inclined mir
ror. Mounted ON the upper part Of the
frame Is a lightrehecting hood In
which is placed lamp or other suitable
illuminant. In operation eggs are
placed over the aperture, and the light
falling on the eggs will cast a shadow
upon the mirror If they are unsound.
The soundness Of the eggs is indicated
by the clearness Of the light that fails
through them upon the mirror.

TnIIest Tree In the World.

The tallest tree in the world so far
as has been ascertained is an Austria
lian gum tree Of the species eucalyptus
regnans, which stands in the Cape OF
way range. 1t is no less than Ais feet
high. Gum trees grow very fast There
is one in Florida which shot up forty
feet in four years and another in Guat-
emsla which grew 100 feet In twelve
years. This corresponds to a rise of

THE SWEEP RAKE

inch stuff this Is raised about foot
above the sweep to keep the hay from
sliding back too far over the sweep. 1t
should be braced about four feet from
zach end.
The wheels are IS inches In diam
eter; and piece Of inch gas pipe is
used for an axle. 1t Is clamped to the
teeth. two pins with washers being
used to keep the wheels from sliding
sideways and rubbing against the teeth
The piece projecting at the back
under the sweep should extend about
two feet; 1t is beveled like sleigh
runner; 1t Is to keep the teeth from
raising too high where riding on the
empty sweep.
In hitching horses to sweep that
have never been used on one person
can get best results by tying the halter
shank to the end Of the guide-arms and
making both lines the same length or
the harness; then fasten one line to
each ring Of the bit. When it is desired
to turn the horses to the right simply
hold the off horse back, and drive the
nigh one ahead, and he will naturally
swing around to the right.
In drawing a sweep load Of hay on
to the stacker draw it as far ahead as
possible, then back the horses and raise
ends of teeth, and drive ahead again
this will pack the hay on the stacker
and less of it is apt to fall back on the
ground when being raised to the stack
The most convenient size of stack to
build is 16 feet wide by about % feet
long.-Montreal Star.

Some ambitious farmers are anxious
to lay by the corn field very early; but
1t is not wise, for the grass and weeds
are always more forward to grow about
this season than any other, and the
ground will become very foul where the
corn Is too early laid by and more than
this, great proportion Of the nourlsh-
ment of the crop is derived from the air
and dew conveyed to the roots This
can be done only when the surface Is
free from weeds.

Eradicating wild Mustard.

One Of the most pestiferous weeds is
the wild mustard, but recent expert
ments in Wisconsin seem to give prom
ise that 1t may be quite easily and
cheaply exterminated. 1t has been
known for several years that spraying
a field with blue vitrlol would kill mus
tard without injuring the grain which
is growing. But the attendant expense
has been the chief objection to wide
use. The Wisconsin station has been
making some. tests with copperas, CT
iron sulphate, that indicate that 1t is
quite as effective as the bluestone, AMI

cheaper, as 60 cents will furnish enough
to treat an acre. Similar successful eX-
periments have been made with copper
as by the Cornell station. Some three
years ago the California station tried
spraying with blue vitrlol to hold in
check mustard on its cereal paintings
at Yuba City and came to the same
conclusions as did the Wisconsin sta
ton. At Davis during the present sea-
son experiments in limited way were
tried with copperas, but owing to the
