Goodwyn, from Alabama, writes the following letter: The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company, Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen—I have now used two bottles of Pe-ru-na, and am a well man today. I could feel the good ef- {,.ccts of your medicine before I had wsed it a week, after suffering with ca- tarrh for over a year. Respectfully, A. T. Goodwyn. | about the article that were undesir- able and calculated to hinder its sale ; induced to drink. When to Cat Hay ? “When to cut hay?" I can think of no better reply to this query than , this: When hay is just right for cut- | ting, writes A. H. Smith in the Prac- tical Farmer. Some one says, “cut clover hay when one-half the heads are turned brown.” As to this I am not certain, but we will not let the clover’ get over-ripe. as by so doing the stalks become “woody,” and con- sequently worthless as fodder. The practical, observing farmer soon fearns when hay is in the right condi- tion for cutting (some who aim to tell us theoretically often “miss the mark”), and although not able to ex- plain, he knows just the same. With us, in our variable ciimate the time often varies; for instance, a cold, backward spring retarding growth makes, as we say “haying late,” etc. But we know when the condition of the grass is the same, and then is the time to cut either for home use or market. We usually begin haying about the fourth of July, and in back- ward seasons about a week later. Early cut grass is mowed in the fore- noon, and if the weather proves just right, drawn in the next day after- noon. Later on the more ripened timothy can be cut and stored the same day. Generally not more than can be stored in one afternoon is mowed at one time. And if the weather is lowering with much indi- cations of rain we forbear entirely. Much hay was ruined in our neighbor- hood one season, by cutting during such weather, when a continued rain came on and spoiled it. Position of Process Butter. A reporter of the New York Produce Review in an article in that paper says: “Ever since the introduction of ‘process’ butter I have followed it closely, watching with interest the steady improvement in the quality of the product, as well as the rapid ex- pansion of trade for it in this coun- try. I have seen how deceptive it was because of the fresh creamery flavor obtained by the best manufacturers, and yet I have recognized qualities in many markets. Still it has found a large demand, chiefly in the south, southwest and interior cities of the central and eastern states. * * * I strolled down the street to have a talk with some of the receivers of these ‘process’ goods, and the first man I in- terviewed was very outspoken in his remarks, ‘I tell you the trade in “proc- ess” butter is dying fast,’ he said. ‘I have handled some of the goods and whilst a few buyers claim to be able to make a little money out of them, others are disgusted with them, and so am I. Some of the out-of-town mar- kets may like that kind of stock, but New York don’t. I am willing to go on record that the business in process butter has reached its limit and wil! now fall off fast.’ Some of the other dealers did not take so pessimistic a view of the outlook for these goods, and yet I found that the article had fewer friends than it had a year ago.” House Tank and Windmills. There are many farmers putting in a wind mill, and many of them are also adding the house tank as well, writes C. P. Reynold’s in Michigan Farmer. As is obvious, this requires some little extra expenditure, and only a little, when the advantages are taken into consideration. No farmer should add a mill to his farm conveniences and fail to add the house tank: if he feels that hé can not afford as much, he would show very good judgment to dispense with one tank at the barn; at any rate, the house tank should be added at any cost. unless conditions are unusual and impracticable. There are very few houses so arranged that this tank can not be added; and if there are any such it would well pay the owner to disarrange them at the first opportune time. It may take up a little more room than might be de- sirable, but this feature will be more than offset in other different ways. If a farmer’s well is at the barn, and in order to get to the house it is neces- sary to lay a pipe up and back, it will pay him to do so; or move the well, if necessary. Wide Tire Law.—Legislation com- pelling the use of wide tires would be a step in the right direction, looking towards good roads. A law providing that the width of the tire should be proportionate to the weight carried, would prevent a fairly good road from being cut up by a heavy load, or a poor road being made impassable. It would seem that concerted action is the only way in which good roads may be built and maintained, as a road, no matter how good, once cut by a single set of wheels, rapidly grows from bad to worse.—San Juan Isl- ander. Cows Need Water.—Cows need much water. They should be watered twice or three times each day if they can be The average cow, while in milk, requires about eighty , pounds—nearly ten gallons—of water Catarrh in its various forms is rap- | idly becoming a national curse. An undoubted remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Prominent men have come to know of its virtues and are making public utterances on the sub- ject. To save the country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect them from disease. The d se that is at once the most prevalent and stubborn of cure is ca- tarrh. Public men of all parties rec- ognize in Pe-ru-na a national catarrh remedy of unequaled merit.

Barnyard Manure.—Barnyard ma- nure is the fertilizer that is available on every farm if the farmer is prac- ticing the correct method of economy in his work. Its application to the soil serves the same purpose as the resi- due of plants which remain from year to year and give to the soils their rich dark color.—Ex. Fresh eggs are heavier than the old ones, therefore when put in water the older ones will float higher. Corn is a fattening food, but can nearly always be given at night tc good advantage.

Alabastine is the original and only dur- able wall coating on the market. It is entirely different from all kalsomine preparations. Alabastine is made ready for use in white or twelve beautiful tints by the addition of cold water. It is put up in dry powdered form, in five- pound packages, with full directions on every package. It takes the place of scaling kalsomines, wall paper and paint WHAT “KALSOMINES” ARE. Kalsomines are cheap and temporary preparations, manufactured from whit- ing, chalks, clays, etc. They are stuck on the walls with decaying animal glue, Ala- bastine is not a kalsomine. It is a rock- base cement, which sets, and it hardens with age. It can be re-coated and re- decorated without having to wash and scrape off its old coats.
