Do not pick berries when they ar
wet; when picked. hurry them to
cool place out of the sun.
For grape rot and mildew, begil
early and spray the vines with Bor
deaux mixture at intervals of abou
two weeks.
To destroy squash bugs, lay {
cloth or single by the plants. Tn
bugs crawl under it and can be col
lected and killed in the morning.
Remember the neighbor who ha'
no berries on his farm. Send dow1
a nice basket of them once in
while. Makes your own taste
much better.
Muzzle the horses and pad the

en- up the soil promptly.
Sow cucumbers now for picking
When the vines beigin to bear pick
all the fruit every day or so. Let
none go to seed (ripen) if you want
the vines to continue bearing.
Frequent and shallow cultivation
should be the rule in the new straw
berry bed. and also in the raspberry
black berry currant and goose berry
patches, If the last four are not
mulched.
No grain or grass crops in the
young orchard, please. Cultivation is
best. Stir the soil every two
weeks until August. 1t is a good
plan to throw two or three fork
fuls Of manure around each tree af-
ter a rain.
To prevent a scabby crop of po-
tatoes soak the seed for two hours
in a solution of one half pint forma-
lin Cformaldehyde) in fifteen gallons
of water. Then plant the seed in
soil which has not recently grown
a crop of scabby tubers.
Watch for the little ~slugs-dark-

to be on pear or cherry leaves now.
Fine dry dust, If lnrown in the trees

Pumpkins planted among the corn
is are no special hindrance to the
crop if the ground is very rich. They
re sometimes a great benefit in a
Try season. The leaves and vines
cover the ground and keep it from
trying up after cultivation ceases.
Cabbage and tomato plants can
ne ~safeguarded against cutworms,
by inserting a circular paper fence
in the soil around each stem. Any
stif paper will do. Have each fence
about one and one-half inches above
the ground, and the same distance
away from the plant.
A gentleman wno made the ex-
pertinent the past season recon-
mends moth balls as an effective
means of keeping n striped beetle
off the cucumber melon and squash
vines. The remedy is not only mex
pensive but easily applied, only one
ball being required for each hill.
The Bordeaux mixture is the prop
er remedy to use for all fungous
troubles, viz, mildew and rust Of
beans; potatoe and tomatoe rot and
leaf blight; melon and cucumber dis
eases; asparagus rust; celery leaf
blight, etc. The half strength mix
ture (two pounds copper sulphate,
two pounds quicklime, fifty gallons
water), is strong enough to use in
the vegetable garden except for po-
tatoes. /?

Increased premiums in every de-

safe to predict that in every de-

Washington as a Farmer.

In the May 25th, Farm and Fire
side, the editor gives the following
insite into Washington's farm life:
One of the points on which the
biographers of Washington agree is
that he was an ultra-methodical
man, and that this trait was strong
ly manifested in his life as a farm
er. His farm books remain today
models of their sort. They indicate
he knew to a nicely the cost and
returns of the crops on the Mount
Vernon plantation. His records of
paintings and c%learings and harvest
ings; Of purchase and expenditures;
of his personal supervision of ais
broad acres-all of these have now
become sacredly preserved memen-
toes of his life. Even when the bur-
den of the revolutionary struggle
was on his shoulders, and, later, the
cares of the new born nation, he
directed by correspondence, so far
as possible, the conducting of his
big farm. And his Farm, like other
ventures was d 0OSSVoSs u.
1.-THE farmer of 1908 may well
profit, If he has not already done so,
by applying this lesson from Wash
ington's character. 1t is reasonably
certain that had he been slipshod n
his methods, trusting to luck for
results and to nature unassisted for
his living, letting his farm take care
of itself, he never would have
achieved the local reputation which
later led Virginia to proudly push
him into the field of undying fame.
Simple book keeping and the
knowledge Of the principles OF profit
and loss are as essential to the sue
cess Of the farmer as they are to the
merchant, for unless a farm is run
in a business like way. failure and
debt must ensue. The little econ
omies make the big aggregate saw

switzerland,s Liquor Monopoly.

Since the government monopoly
of the liquor traffic in Switzerland
has beer in operation it has met the
wishes of the legislators. The con-
sumption of alcohol has been re-
duced from 6.27 liters to less than
four liters a head. Ten per cent of
the net profit of the monopoly is
gwen to the cantons, provided they
devote it to r%epressive of
drunkenness. The cantons have
been SO Jealous in reform that they
have spent this 1.-THE and more in

Milwaukee, Wis, June 8.-As a r

Milwaukee, Wis, June 8.-As a re-
suit Of the temperance wave that is
now sweeping over the country, the
United States Brewers Association,
which began its annual convention
here today, will seek to secure the
adoption of plans hat will drive the
dives and low groggeries out Of bust
ness. Brewers who are here from all
over the land agree that such action
is necessary to protect the legitimate
liquor dealers and to prevent the
spread of the '.dry"sentiment to sec
lions yet unaffected.
One of the plans under considera-
ton is that recently adopted in Gin
cinnati and which has met with much
success.
In Cincinnati several leading brew
ers have been sworn in as probation
omcers of the Juvenile court of that
city and are taking part in prosecu.-
ing every case of liquor selling to
minors and endeavor to revoke the
leases as we'll as licenses of those who
have violated the law.
AS the brewers own q large per-
centage of the property in which sa-
looms are run, their power is con-
siderable.
They also employ secret agents to
make Investigations, and II they And
saloons not being conducted in &C
cordance with the law. they put them
out of business.
In a small way the crusade against
dive saloons has already been begur
by the brewers in various other parts
of the country. but the plan is to ex
tend this movement, and during thu
next year many undesirable saloo1
men will be driven out of the bust
ness.
This spirit Of inquiry, which ha'
been started by the anti-saloon agita
ton. has brought the reputable ga
loon men throughout the country t.
realize that their worst enemies ar
wisnin their own ranks. For som
years efforts have been made her
and there to rid the saloon bushes
OF its disorderly and law-defying ele
ment. In Massachusetts this ia

that a majority, if not all, of the

Gertie Tin Mill to Start Soon.
r. Q. Johnson, principal owner Of
the Gertie Tin Mining property was
i n Deadwood yesterday securing
some needed supplies for the mill
which he expects to have in opera
ton in the near future. He pur-
chased a set of elevators from the
old smelter and these constitute
about the last of the equipment which
he has been installing in the mill. A
few other details are to be added but
it is not expected that he will be
delayed more than a couple of weeks
in having the plant in full operation.
The mill building is the old struc-
ture of the Harvey Peak Mining
company whose interior has been re-
modelled to suit the machinery which
Mr.. Johnson has introduced. The
crushing will be done by a Downie-
Wright slow speed CHILEAN mill
which will have a capacity of about
seventy-five tons per day. Concen-
trating tables have been installed
and a small smelter capable of re-
ducing the output of the mill, will
be used.
There is sufficient milling ore on
the dump to keep the plant in opera
ton for some time and the ledge is
opened up in several places SO that
theer will be no difficulty Of mining
ore up to the full capacity of the
plant. The dump ore will give as
good as one and a half per cent tin,
while the material taken direct from
the vein can be kept up to a higher
value.-Pioneer-Times.

To Sink Monitor.

Norfolk, Va, June 9.-Another
important naval test will take place
tomorrow in Hampton Roads, when
the monitor Florida, whose turret
was on May 81 lne target OF the big
guns of the Arkansas. will be torpe-
doed with a Whitehead torpedo.
Since the former test, the Florida
mas been at the Norfolk navy yard
fitting out for tomorrow's test.
The torpedo will be sent against
a spot on the side Of the vessel
about eight feet under water. Inside
the vessel. just back of the spot that
is to be hit by the torpedo, a bulk
head of a new form has been built; it
probably will be filled with water.
S expected the torpedo will sink the
Florida. but as the experiment will
take place in water not over Is feet
leep. it will be easy to refloat the
vessel.

Arewe claiming toe much for Peruna when We claim II to be an effective remedy for chronic cstarrh? Have wt abundant proof that Peruna Is in real ity such catarrh remedy? Let us see what the United States Dispensstory 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 Pcruna, cory dalis formosa. is classed in the United States Dispeusatory as tonic.
 Cedron seeds is another ingredient of PeruHa. The United States Dispensa- tory says of the action of eedron that 1t is used as bitter tonic and in the treatment of dvsentery, and i'll inter- mittent diseases as substitute for quinine.
