Judging from her letter, the mis-
cry and wretchedness endured by
Mn. Charlie Taylor, r. +. D. No. I,
Box IA, Dillon, s. c., must have
been terrible. No one, after read
ing her letter, can continue to
doubt the great healing power
Of PE-RU-NA for troubles due
to catarrh or catarrhal conditions
in any part Of the body. Her
letter Is an inspiration to every
sick and suffering man or woman
anywhere. Here It Is: II suffered
two years with catarTh Of the head,
stomach and bowels. Tried two Of
the best doctors, who gave me up.
/ then took PEsRU-NA and can
truthfully say l am well When /
began to use PE-RU-NA, I weighed
one hundred pounds. Ny weight
now IL one hundred and fifty. /
cannot praise PE-RU-NA too
highly, for it was . Godsend TO me.
I got relief from the first half
bottle and twelve bottles cured me.
I advise all sufferers to take
PE-RU-NA."
As an emergency remedy in the
home, there Is nothing quite the
equal Of this reliable, time-tried
medicine, PE-RU-NA. Thousands
place their sole dependence on it
for coughs, colds, stomach and
bowel trouble, constipation. rheu-
matism, pains in the back, side and
loins and to prevent the grip and
Spanish Flu. To keep the blood
pure and maintain bodily strength
and robustness, take PE-RU-NA.
You can buy PE-RU-NA any.

ers' organizations in Texas.
Pure-ered Swine Favored.
The value Of pure-bred hogs is being
widely preached and enthusiastically
practiced throughout Texas. Where
farmers go into the pure-bred business
rather than specializing in pork pro-
duction alone, they generally remain
In it longer, take more interest in 1t,
and accumulate more profit out Of 1t
than where they specialize exclusively
in pork production. The present de-
mand of the South for good pure-bred
hogs is very keen, so that there is lit
tie danger of overstocking. Some Of
the hOgmen hold annual cooperative
pure-bred sales twice year, and offer
nothing but the highest quality OF
animals, which are extensively adver-
tised and usually sold at profit to
the owner, while they almost invari.
ably promise attractive returns to the
buyer wheD properly handled. Consid
cradle hog trade with Mexico is being
developed by Texas stockmen. Mexico

| Texas swine raisers have organized
a state association, which Is used II
coordinate all the county activities
whether they are marketing or on

A most excellent way Of harvesting
a large part Of the corn crop Is to hog
it down."
Big nails, when used for hanging up
harness are pretty sure to scratch the
leather. Get some big hooks, or put
up some wooden pins firmly.
One Of the biggest mistakes liva
stock man can make Is to assume that
the hog is naturally a filthy animal
