1) SISTERS OF CHARITY). — ms 4 Use Pe-ru-na for Coughs, Colds, Grip and Catarrh—A Congressman’s Letter. 0200 0000 rece ceetccosoooe: In every country of the civilized world Sisters of Charity are known. Not only do they minister to the spiritual and intel- lectual needs of the charges committed to their care, but they also minister to their bodily needs. With so many children to take care of and to protect from climate and disease, these wise and prudent Sisters have found Peruna a never failing safeguard. Dr. Hartman receives many letters from Catholic Sisters from all over the United States. A recommend recently received + from a Catholic institution in Detroit, Mich., rads a8 follows: Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio: Dear Sir: —‘The young girl who used the Peruna was suffering from laryngi- tis, and loss of voice. The result of the treatment was most satistactory. She found great relicf, a1 7} run further use of the medicine we hope to be able to say she is entirely cured."” —Sisters of Charity. The young girl was under the care of the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna for catarrh of the throat with good results as the above letter testifies. Send to the Peruna Medicine Co., Co- fumbus, Ohio, for a free book written by Dr. Hartman. The following letter is from Cengress- man Meekison, of Napoleon, Ohio: The Peruna Medicine Co,, Columbus, O.: Gentlemen: “I have used several boftles of Peruna and feel greatly benefited there- by from my ca- tarrh of the head, and feel encour- aged to believe that itscontinued use will fully eradicate a dis- ease of thirty years’ standing.”"—David Meekison.

Lacd, of the North Dakota Agricultural College, says: Of late we have heard a great deal about the necessity of humus in the soil. We have come to understand that humus is as essential in the North Dakota soils as in all other soils if we would maintain their fertility. We have come to understand that humus is one of the great water holding constituents of the soil, that it is to the humus we owe many of the better physical qual- ities of the soil, and that it is from the hvmus the nitrogenous matter of the plants is derived to be converted into nitrates to serve as plant. food. There is one point, however, that has not been sufficiently emphasized. There are different kinds of humus, the same as there are different kinds of animal foods. Some forms of humus are worth a great deal more in the soil than others. We all recog: nize the fact that clover hay is vast- ly superior as an animal food to wheat straw. We say that clover hay, wheat bran, linseed and cotton seed meal are nitrogenous foods, and that straw, timothy, cornmeal, stover, etc., are carbonaceous foods, So we have types of humus that are highly nitrogenous and other types that are highly car- bonaceous. A humus derived from wheat straw or wheat stubble or grains of any kind is very inferior. It furnishes no nitrogenous matter, it does not have the water holding and absorbing constituents as does the humus derived from clover, vetches, brome grass, etc. We thus see that one of the advantages of growing clover in our crop rotation is that it gives us a better type of humus in the soil. One that will put the soil in better physical condition will hold a larger amount of moisture, will fur. nish nitrogenous plant food, and will better unlock the available plant food in the soil than the humus that is de rived from carbonaceous plants like the straw, To Ohio Corn Growers. It now seems evident that the yield of corn is to be much below an aver age crop in this state this season Conditions beyond the contro] of th¢ corn grower—the late spring and the unseasonable weather during the greater part of the corn months—have helped to bring about this result. The corn crop of 1903 is a matter of his. tory. All that can be done now is tc carefully. save and utilize what we have. This should mean something more than picking the ears and allow: ing the stover to waste in the field in so far as its feed value is concerned The present crop is not only a disap pointment as regards yield but quite inferior as to quality. This for many a corn grower means poor seed, an uneven stand and a poor crop in 1904 It will mean this unless great precau: tion be taken in selecting and drying out seed corn this fall. While mature seed should be chosen if it can be had. slightly immature corn carefully ané thoroughly dried out by the fire, is frequently more satisfactory than the former when handled carelessly Given a normal winter and it is prob able that seed corn of which ninety per cent and upward will germinate next spring will not be easily secured Almost any farmer can arrange for ii now if he be alert. It has seemed besi that this word of caution be sounde¢ at this time by the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, Wooster, Ohio. Agricultural Co-Operation in Ireland. At the last meeting of the Irish Agricultural Organization Society a re port on progress showed that the or ganization had gained 148 new so cieties and nearly 9,000 new mem bers during the past year. During 1902 the societies composing the or ganization were: 247 dairy societies and 81 auxiliaries, having 36,174 mem bers; 124 agricultural societies, with 12,961 members; i45 agricultural banks, with 6,511 members; 31 poul try societies, with 5,906 members; 5( home industries, with 2,933 members; 4 flax societies with 118 members; 1i beekeevers’ societies, with 298 mem bers; 3 federations with 257 members; 10 miscellaneous societies, with 862 members. Total number of societies, 712, with 66,020 members. These so cieties last year transacted business in excess of $7,000,000. Lord Monteagle 4 president of the society. Preparing Corn Land. In the cultivation of corn we find it is better to prepare the ground in the fall. Select a field that has had a crop on it, gang plow it first and work it down fine, and leave it until fall. Then plow it again and leave until spring, when it should be culti- vated and harrowed. In winter haul out manure and spread it, putting on the ground about ten or fifteen tons to the acre. It may now be plowed and made ready for planting —Edward Curts. Indiana Dairy Convention.

GOAT ATE BRIDE’S VEIL. After Diet of Crape From Doorbells, Lace and Smilax Were Good. Miss Amelia Paschinski of East Twenty-second street, Bayonne, N. J., and Adam Weiner, an industrious boil- ermaker, were married at the Polish Catholic church on Friday afternoon. After the ceremony scores of their friends blocked their way to the car- riage, kissing the bride and hugging the bridegroom. The bride felt several tugs at her veil, which hung to the ground and was ornamented with smilax, pinks and roses. After an unusually severe tug, she turned her head and saw a ven- erable billygoat, his mouth full of veil and smilax, and his whiskers wig- gling in time to the rapid mastication. The bride screamed, and, gatherivg up her skirts, fled into the coach. The goat received a few hard kicks, but managed to get away with a yard of smilax and another yard of bridal veil. It is believed that this is the same goat which had stolen crape from Mrs. Anderson, a prominent society woman of Jacksonville, Fla, daughter of ‘Recorder of Deeds, West, who witnessed her signature to the following letter, praises Lydia E.
