Mrs. Elin Malmgren, 133 Frederic St., West Manchester, N.

I always keep it il my house in case of sickness. I rec onlmend your medicine to all my friends and every sufferer. as an ex- cellent medicine for colds and fo, building up strength. We have many Swedish friends in Boston who use Peruna and think a great deal of it If all of the Swedish people in this country could know what an excel lent family medicine your Peruna is I am sure they would keep it in the home."
 Mrs. George Parker, 419 Water St.. Menasha, Wis, writes: "We have used Peruna in our family for a num- Der of years, and have found it a per fectly reliable medicine. It soon rids the system of any traces of a cold and prevents serious consequences. l began using it for catarrh, which ! suffered with good many years, bu had not been very serious until re gently. Since have taken Perun the dropping in my throat has dis. continued, and my head and nose are not so stopped in the morning"

CORN FAT AND PASTURE FoH
 PORK.

'sCorn for fat and pasture for pork" said a farmer. He meant, says R, c. Ashby, assistant animal husbandman in charge of swine, University Farm. St. Paul, that the pasture furnished exercise in gathering the green, suc- culent feed and. by keeping the hogs healthy and vigorous, it put them in the best condition to make good gains from their grain feed.
 It paws to feed grain on pasture, for pasture alone will do little more than keep up pigs weight, A light to me dium grain ration is usually most profitable About two or three pounds of grain a day is a good ration. for shoats weighing SO to 100 rounds. If you have scales. weigh your pigs oc- of grain daily for each 100 pounds live weight of hogs.
 Good rations for summer feeding are easily obtained. On clover, alfalfa. or rape pasture, feed corn and Ht- tie skim milk On blue grass or timothy pasture, feed three pounds of skim milk to each two pounds of corn. More milk would do mo harm. If skim milk is not at hand, it will pay to feed oil meal or tankage with the corn, where bluegrass or timothy pasture Is used about one part tankage to Il parts corn or one part of meal to seven parts corn. MT. Ashby adds:
 Give your hogs good pasture all summer.
 Give them change of pasture fre- quently.
 Feed a liberal grain ration .ss
 Keep good clean water accessible.
 Provide sunshades or wet wallows

FARMERS SHOULD TAKE PAINS.
Hardest Job Is Making Start-There-
 after it Comes Easy

The greatest advancement is made
 oy those who are capable of taking
 greatest palms," says Dr. T. N. Carver or washington. Tt applies especially
 10 agricultural progress. It is more trouble to select than not to select
 seed. and to select it in the field than
 Tn the bin It is more trouble to test COWS than not to test them, to keep accounts than not to keep them. to diversify or rotate crops than not to a,verslIy ;n,y or rotate. to mix fertilizers lntelngently than to buy them already mixed, to cooperate with ones pig headed neighbors, especially if one is himself a little pig-headed than to 20 1t alone. It is also more profitable. In all these and a multitude of other cases it is found that it pays to take trouble. There Is probably no part of the farmers business where this needs to be so much emphasized as in his buy
 ing and selling It is so much less trouble to buy all one's supplies at re- | tail as they are needed than to plan aneao and buy at wholesale, and to sell ones products at wholesale and In bulk to the nearest buyer than to work out better marketing scheme
 that this practice of buyiny everything at retail and selling everything aj wholesale has become almost uniyersal IL takes rich soil, or very hard work on the farmers part, or both, to make up the losses resulting from this sys. lem; The farmer is becoming. almost In the same sense as the manufactures buyer of raw material such as fer. tiiizer, seeds. feeds, machinery, live. stock, etc. What manufacturer would expect to prosper if he depended upor me retail stores to supply him witf ms raw materials as they were needed and at retail prices? How many man, ufacturers would expect to prosper i

 When one once gets accustomed t
 taking pains it ceases to be painful t

COW TESTING
Some Timely Thoughts and Sugses-
 tions on Important Subject

Ry G. R. Ingalls,. University of Wis
 Cow testing shows the money mak- CTS. The best cows in many herds are returning a profit of $100 or more every year. It is possible to have every COW kept do as well.
 The loafers, the cows that consume more than they return, are quickly spotted and eliminated when the COW test is used. No successful merchant handles a line of goods on which he loses money; likewise, no progressive dairyman will milk a COW on which he does not make a profit. The milking of cows is a straight business propo- sition and no farmer can afford to spend his own time or pay high priced labor to milk COWS which do not pay for their board. Let's make the $100 return per COW our standard To build up a profitable herd, the COW test is indispensable. It enables the dairyman to quickly get a; high producing herd by selecting heifers | nection the sires that are capable of transmitting dairy quality and tenn perament to their offspring can be proven. The very general practice of
 sending mature bulls to the block. I when they are just in their prime for
 breeding purposes. is detrimental to
 our dairy industry and should be
 stopped.
 | Cow testing also pays because sur plus stock of both sexes sells for high
 CT prices when buyers can see what the ancestors of these animals have
 done in the line of milk and butter fat production.
 When using the test, farmers may
 know their cows as individuals and | feed so as to get the greatest return
 for every dollars worth of feed pro-
 vided- The value of the silo in SUD- plying fresh summer succulence dur ing the winter months, and in helpins
 out when pastures dry up in the sum-
 mer, Is also shown best when COWS are under test ----...7-',

FARM MACHINERY Should Not Be Left Where It Is. Ex- posed to Weather.

Have you left your moving machine in the shade of the old apple tree? If SO. how does it look with its coat of rust? One does not have to travel many miles in any direction before he will possibly find the rake or tedder located where 1t will be needed next summer-down' in the meadows.
 It is estimated that the farmers of this country are paying out about 150,000,000 for new machinery an- nualiy. Undoubtedly a large rortiou of this sum is for the purchase of new machinery. It has been esti- mated at 20 per cent, leaving 10 per cent. or s15,ooo.o0o for the upkeep and repairs. This enormous sum can be lessened by better care and less ex4 posture to the rains, snow and sun.
 Nearly all farmers have sufficient room to store their machinery under cover, and by so storing. the warping and cracking of the wood parts and the faking off of the paint will be 1essened. Painting and oiling will aid a great deal in preventing deterieraF ! ton. Do not leave any of the tools out over winter where they will bei exposed to the weather. !

Danger of Drink Habit

Men who drink to excess are in con. stant danger of losing health, position, lousiness, family and, home. They are dents, or commit crimes while under the Influence of liquor, that win ruin their lives. Drink habit has filled our Jalls, penitentiaries, almshouses and tics, paupers and forgotten dead. Real lz1ng this will you continue to drink or permit your husbands and sons to do so until they are beyond hope? Ii IS your duty to give them medical treatment-The Neal Drink Habit Treatment-which will remove the craving and necessity for drink in three days. without the use of hypo- dermic injections. and restore them to sober, sane lives.

DRAIN WET LAND.
Good Time While It Is Dry-Benef7t
 from Such Outlay.

Now, while the usually wet lands are in a dry conditions. is an excellent time to drain these areas, which in an average season are altogether too wet. A great deal of wet land today if drained would be the best producing areas on the farms. Therefore, why should not $25 to $s5 an acre be spent on these areas?
 On most of the lands, tile laid 100 feet apart and three feet deep would be all that would be needed to drain the, land sufficiently so that excellent feet be found too far apart it is easy to place between the two tile a third tile. making them 50. feet apart, which will in all instances drain the necee- sary water from the land.
 As an investment there is nothing amount invested or afford more satis- faction than will tile drainage. Sup pose that during a rotation of corn, potatoes and three years of grass. a f1ve-year rotation. that we consider the increased yield per acre. There 10 bushels of corn. 25 bushels of po- tatoes and one-half ton of grass, to say nothing of the superior quality which would be obtained Considering the values of these increases of corn and potatoes at so cents. and of hay at sse . ton, there would be an in crease in five years of farm products to the value of s5s. or an increased value per annum of s11. This means at the rate of over 80 per cent. inter est on the Investment. Surely. from a business mans standpoint this is an excellent outlay of money.
 In many fields production before til- ling would be practically nothing. whereas after draining the yield would be the best on the farm. There are acres and acres of land in Hampden county which are today. as they exist. practically worthless. but if properly drained would be worth at least $1oo

Why should not the poultry keepers take advantage of the crisis, and not only help to make up the deficit In European markets and decrease the high cost of living at home, as well, hut add materially to their own prof "hi~ ra~ Ne done by carefully observing the following:
 ke-i over this year for layers all hens and bullets that will help to fill the egg basket.
 2. Market as soon as in condition, all worthless females and undesirable males.
 3. Plan to raise a good supply of chicks next spring from the very best stock you have.
 f. Because feed is high, do not think for a moment that good results can be obtained from under-feeding.
 ,. Feed your poultry well on good wholesome feed, but see that there is no waste.
 6. Our common grains are the best feeds for poultry.
 T.. If mangels. beets. turnips. etc, can be purchased at reasonable price they will not only decrease the grain bill but will add materially to the health of the fowls.
