FAREWELL
YOU CATARRH
The Right Treatment Dis
covered at LaSt-Read
About 1t.

From time immemorial. q man who had
nasal catarrh was given all sorts OF doses,
sprays and local applications Of every kind
for relief. when the remedy should have
gone to the seat Of the trouble. A rem
edy to be effective must act directly upon
the mucous membrane of the entire sys-
tenn. When this treatment is combined
with local application the cure is assured.
DR.. Kings Royal Germetuer furnishes
both the local and the general treatment,
and Ii all that can be desired in either
respect.
Mr.. Robert E. Barrics. steamboat pilot.
New Orleans, writes US: For six years I
have been a sufferer from nasal catarrh.
There was a constant accumulation and
discharge Of offensive mucus. The sense
of smelling was nearly destroyed and
breathing frequently difficult. During
these years I used many remedies and
spent much money. but received little or
no benefit until l began to use DR.. Kings
Royal Germetuer. The disagreeable symp-
toms described above ia entirely disap-
peared. and I feel like q new man."

way to get nd Of them Is to starvs
them out by using the land for a DIFF
ferent class Of plants, such as the
various cucurbits-cucumbers, pump
klns, squash, gourds and melons.
1t Is impossible to lay down any set
way in which to achieve the best re-
suits. We all have different ideas and
tastes and this department must be
satisfied with calling attention to
rather general principles, leaving all
details to be worked out by the in
diyldual.
Ground which has been used for
the early crops can then be planted
to late corn or cucvmberS BY train
ing tomatoes and cucumbers on sup
ports. q much smaller amount OF
ground will produce the crop. Many
combinations a be worked out 10
At your particular crops and the main
result to be achieved Is to keep all
OF your garden working all OF the
time.
Move the crops around from year
to year 80 as to give the soil a chance
TO recuperate. Where a number OF
successive paintings are desirable, as
with peas, It is an excellent plan to
plant a third or fourth crop between
the rows Of the first crop as soon A.
tho peas have been picked.

Lawn Pests.

winter seems to diminish Its optimism

them than last year There always
are. The richer the soil and the finer
the place, the more dandelions there
will be.
Unlike other weeds, which can be
crowded out by heavily feeding the
grass, the dandelion responds to such
treatment even more nobly than does
the grass. 1t Is directly comparable

WHAT TO PLANT AND WHEN
Advice by an Expert on Agricultural
Misunderstanding Poultry and Fruit
Rotation Of Crops-Rlddlno
Lawn Of Pests.
BY PROF. JOHN WILLARD BoLTE.


When other things are equal, prob
ably the safest form OF agriculture for
the inexperienced city mar to take up
Is a combination Of poultry and fruit.
The logic back OF this choice Is sim
pie, and, we believe. sound.
Chickens will thrive and produce
probably under proper management
In every section OF this country. They
are hardy and stand abuse well, while
the amateur Is learning the ropes.
Small capital is required to make a
start, and they multiply rapidly. In
fact, n shrewd old Yankee, down In
Maine" Is credited with starting q
successful poultry farm by borrowing
a setting hen from n neighbor and a
setting Of Eggs from another. After
the chicks were Matched he kept the
hen until che had laid n setting Of
eggs and then returned both, thereby
dlscharging his debts without ex-
pense.
Any sort OF well drained land will
do for chickens. About all n mar
can look after probably ia 1000 hens
and their offspring. aud no can count
on n dollar profit per hen each year.
In small nocks tho profits often u
much higher per hen. Housing 1000
hens In colony houses holding 100
hens to the pen will cost from $4,000
to $4,000, depending upon the material
and the location.
BY scattering these houses over a
zen acre tract OF land there will be no
iced OF inside fences and the tlocks
Will keep separate. BY planting this
ten acres Of good apples, provided 1t
ia located in an apple growing region,
and handling same according to com
mercial orchard methods, n can
make the land do double duty. 1t is
known now that proper location and
handling will secure a crop Of apples
every year. The secret Is this;
SPRAY trees properly.
2-Prune trees properly.
keep tho ground cultivated all
summer.
4-pinch off all but one Of the green
apples from each fruit spur az soon
as they set.
Use heaters during late frost.
The third item keeps the water in
1he soil, and tho apples stay on the
srees instead OF blowing off, The
fourth rule Is ono OF the most I'M
portant. as 1t evens up the strain on
tho tree and while the yearly crop will
be smaller than tho natural crop one
year and larger tho next, 1t will cost
less TO handle and tho fruit will be
much better In form. size and color,
and 1t will bring In more money.
Such an orchard will bring In from
$500 to 5000 a year per acre, and the
cost OF handling will not exceed $75.
It will take from six to ten years to
bear proftably. Set the trees out in
so foot squares. Between them set
dwarf fruit trees In 80 foot squares.
The dwarfs will bear quickly and are
TO be taken out when the large trees
bear. The ground under and between
the trees should be planted to a rota-
ton OF hoed crops. like potatoes, corn,
root crops, garden crops. etc.
