Pure Broom Corn Seed Most Inportan

There was never q time when 1t Is
more important to the broom corn
producers to make an extra effort to
strive in securing pure broom corn
seed as in the past 8 years. so little
care has been taken to prevent the
crossing of the various species that
we are face to face with problem.
Almost every field Of broom corn
grown in Oklahoma and Kansas shows
trace Of crossed element which has
been greatly responsible for the wide

Tea plantations in Ceylon have been
in existence only 30 years, yet the an
nual exports Of black tea amount to
nearly $40, 900, 900 in value. Formerly
coffee constituted Ceylon's main in
dustry, but after a disease Of the plant
in 1880 It's cultivation was discontin-
ued. Many planters, however, re-
couped themselves by tea and rubber.
Thanks chiefly to the former article.
the islands old prosperity revived. To-
day Ceylon boasts 1900 plantations.
Plant necessary to tea cultivation is
costly but very labor-saving. The
work itself is not hard; only the cli-
mate makes 1t irksome. What is
wanted mainly Of employees is to
watch mancinery and feed 1t from the
stock Of tea leaves awaiting treat
ment- The workers are not Sing
halese, but natives Of southern India.
A laborer's wages vary from eight to
sixteen cents a day, while a foreman's
salary averages 5000 a month.-Har-

PERUNA FOR
COUGHS AND COLDS

to do great injury. After the eIpectors-
ton has been properly removed the cough
will stop itself. That is the only proper
way to stop a cough.
Occasionally a cough depends upon an
irritable condition of the larynx or bron-
chial tubes, in which there is little or no
expectoration.
The problem Of stopping such . cough
is a slightly different one. Even in those
cases Peruna ought to be taken, but some
times it is necessary that local treatment
be added.
But in any case Peruna is needed. You
do not have to stop to write me. Get
Peruna. at once and taking it.
You can get rid of that cough sooner =
believe than in any other way.
Should you wish to consult me at any
time while you are taking Peruna you arc
at perfect liberty to write me. Your let
tiers will be held strictly confidential and
you will receive prompt answer.
I want to stop that cough of yours.
I want to stop it before it really begins.
/ want to stop it before it has a chance
to injure your lungs. an injury that you

MOTTO FOR CHRISTIAN HOME
to, Cannot Fail to Make for Hap
plness in Life.

This home is dedicated to good will,
It grew out of love. The two heads
OF the household were called together
by a power higher than they. To its
decree they are obedient. Every tone
OF the voice, every thought of their
being, is subdued TO that service. They
desire to be worthy of their high call
ing. as ministers of that grace. They
know their peace will so unbroken
only for a little time. And often they
suspect that the time will be more
short yer than their anxious hope.
They cannot permit so much as one
hour Of that brief unity to be touched
by scorn or malice. The worlds judg-
ments have lost their sting inside
this door. Those who come seeking
to continue the harmony which these
two have Won are ever welcome. The
rich are welcome, SO they come SIM
ply. The poor are welcome, for they
have already learned friendliness
through %buffeting. Youth is welcome.
for it brings the joy which these two
would learn. Age is welcome, for 1t
will teach them tenderness.-Collier's
Weekly.

AS TO
Found Her Favorite Again.

A bright young lady tells how she
came to be acutely sensitive as to the
taste Of coffee:
my health had been very poor for
several years. she says. 81 loved
coffee and drank it for breakfast, but
only learned by accident, as it were.
that 1t was the cause Of the constant,
dreadful headaches from which I sui.
fered every day, and OF the nervous.
ness that drove sleep from my pillow
and so deranged my stomach that
everything l ate gave me acute pain.
(Tea is just as injurious. because 1t
contains caffeine, the same drug found
In coffee.)
my condition finally got SO serious
that | was advised by my doctor to go
to a hospital. There they gave me
what l supposed was coffee, and I
thought 1t was the best l ever drank.
but I have since learned it was
Postum. l gained rapidly and came
home In four weeks.
Somehow the coffee we used at
home didn't taste right when l got
back. I tried various kinds, but none
tasted as good as that I drank in the
hospital. and all brought back the
dreadful headaches and the 'sick-all-
over feeling.
"One day I got a package Of Postum.
and the first taste of 1t I took, ]
said that's the good coffee we had in
the hospital ! have drank 1t ever
since, and eat Grape-Nuts for my
breakfast. / have NO more headaches,
and feel better than ! have for years"

TRUCK GARDENING
AND POULTRY RAISING
MIXED FARMING BRANCHES,
PAY IN WESTERN CANADA.

Truck gardening and poultry grow
ing are two branches Of agriculture
In which the farmers near the main
lines OF the three transcontinental
lines traversing Western Canada are
much concerned. The abundance Of
sunshine during the long days nom
May to September. and adequate mois-
ture in the spring and early summer
permit OF a wide variety of crops. The
soil is rich and warm and Is easily
worked. Close attention to cultiva-
ton has resulted in record yields OF
all sorts of vegetable and small fruits
which bring good prices In the cities
and at the numerous railway construo-
ton camps.
Mr.. Harris Oium, an Alberta farmer.
came from South Dakota eleven years
ago and homesteaded the first 100
acres In his township In 1909, which
was divided between grain and pas
ture. He earned sufficient money to
buy a quarter section OF railway land
at 81 an acre. The half section netted
proportionate profits and he gradually
increased his holdings to 1920 acres,
which was devoted to mixed farming
last year. He values his land at $50
an acre.
Mr.. Oium markets from 100 to 125
hogs and a similar number Of beef
cattle each year. He has 200 hogs,
mostly pure bred Poland China, rs
head draft horses and 35 head of pure
bred Hereford cattle. By feeding bar.
ley to hogs he estimates that the grain
nets him so cents a bushel. as COM
pared with 40 cents, the average mar
ket price when delivered to the ware
house. His average crop Of barley is
40 bushels to the acre, while oats av-
erage so bushels.
BY writing any Canadian Govern
ment Agent, full particulars as to best
districts on which to secure home
steads will be ch%eerfully given.-Ad
