Sr. Pavi, Mixx. 521 Wabasha St. Dr, Hartman, Columbus, O., Dear Sir: “T took Peruna last summer when I was all run down, and had a headache and backache, I now feel as well as I ever did in all my life, and all thanks ts due to your excellent Peruna.” —Bess F’. Healy. The symptoms of summer ca- tarrh are quite unlike in different cases, but the most common ones are general lassitude, played- out, tired out, used-up, run-down feelings, combined with more or less heavy, stupid, listless, men- tal condition. Relish for food and the ability to digest food seems to be lost. Skin eruptions, sallow com- plexion, _ billiousness, coated tongue, fitful, irregular sleep, help to complete the picture which is so common at this season. ! Peruna so exactly meets all these conditions that the demand is so great for this remedy at this season of the year that it is near- ly impossible to supply it. Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found permanent use in so many homes is that it contains no nar- cotics of any kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquiring the drug habit.

Canada’s Attractions. The Dominion Exhibition is one that attracts hundreds of thousands ach year. This year it will be held in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada), and with the r erial assistance given it by the Dominion Government, it will be one of the most successful ever held. Besides the number of special attractions that will be offered, there will be of the Agricultural and Industrial re- sources of Canada such as is rarely | attempted by any country. , Visitors will be there in large numbers from the United States, owing to the low rates offered by railways connecting with the Canadian roads. It is ex- pected that Hon. Clifford Sefton, Min- ister of the Interior, will be there on the opening day to declare the exhibi- tion open. A splendid opportunity will be afforded by this exhibition to meet friends. Hotel accommodations will be quite ample. The Joys of June.

L, McKay said: No country is more interesting to 4 traveler who is interested in dairying than little Holland. The country is peculiarly adapted for dairying, owing to its cool, moist climate. The north- ern part of Holland presents a very unique picture to the traveler, with its small, green fields dotted here and there with numerous windmills and the large herds of Holstein-Fresian cows quietly grazing. The monstrous long-armed windmills, resembling an old lighthouse above the sea, are used for various kinds of work. They grind grain, pulverize rock and manufacture paper, but their most important duty is to pump out the water from the marshes into canals so it may find an exit to the sea, otherwise the lowland would be submerged. Excepting Greece and Great Britain, no country has so many inlets as Holland. The Hollanders, as a people, might be termed a little slow, but the govern- ment is certainly not slow in appre- ciating the benefits that the country derives from dairying, as eight in- structors are employed, largely aided by the government, whose duty it is to give free instruction wherever it is required. Everything pertaining to dairying is kept scrupulously clean, even the cows in many cases being washed before they are milked. I have never seen a place where the old adage, “Cleanli- ness is next to Godliness,” comes in better, and I believe that the fine flavor of the Holland cheese is largely due to their cleanliness. The slow, quiet customs of the people seem also to have been transmitted to the cows. Good grass land or land in the dairy section brings a much higher price than that in any other part of the agricultural district. In the dairy belt of Holland, dairying is the chief occu- pation of the farmer, hence every care is given to the production of milk and the care of milk. The farmer, as a rule, does not try to follow any scienti- fic method in feeding. Roots, hay and oil meal are fed. The oil meal is used only in the winter when cows are on dry feed. They have no set rule as regards the proportion of feed. This, they maintain, depends upon the judg- ment of the feeder and the cows he is feeding. Legal Enactments Regarding Milk. In every state the legal enactments regarding milk should be very strin- gent. There is no class of food that should be better protected than milk. The people that most need a pure food are those that depend most on milk. To give impure milk to an in- valid or to an infant is often to des- troy it. This is hardly true of any other food. No other food is so liable to adulteration as is milk. We do not believe that legal enactments will do all the work. It is only one of the ways of improving the supply. In saying this we are advocating a re- form that is both in favor of the con- sumer and the producer. The purer the mifk the more of it will be used, and the more of it is used the better will be the price that is paid for it and the smaller the amount of the unused surplus left on the hands of the milk producer. In most of our states the laws are too lax regarding the adulteration of milk and sale of dirty milk. In states where the laws are quite stringent they are generally badly enforced, though there has been considerable improvement in this re- gard during the past few years. State laws are good, but city and village laws are probably more effective, be- cause more likely to be enforced. Improving the Milk Supply. To improve the milk supply it is necessary to reach the producer, and he cannot be easily influenced. Our city friends are continually demanding cleaner milk, but little is done by them to secure it. It is certain that pure milk could be obtained in a very short time if the city people went to work in an energetic manner to get it. The producer cares little for public opinion so long as it does not touch him. But let an inspector come to his place and demand to see his cows and his sheds and say to him that if these are not satisfactory, his milk will not be received in such and such a place, he will begin to pay re- spectful heed to the desires of the in- spector. The most influential in- spector is the one that stands between the milk producer and his customers. This kind of an inspector needs no legal power. He needs only the power that comes from the consumers of milk. We believe that this is the way the milk situation is to be finally im- proved. It amounts to a boycott on the dairyman that will not keep his cows and his milkers and his milk clean. When Color Is Used. The use of color is not a thing that can be done entirely by rule, as the cow varies the amount of color she puts into the cream. Thus in the win- ter the cream is largely white, while in the summer months and when there is an abundance of grass, the color is deep yellow. June color has become proverbial. At this time of year the butter is frequently colored too highly on account of_the rapid increase of color when the cows go onto grass. The buttermaker on the farm continues to put in the same amount that was added in the winter and the butter that goes onto the market has sometimes so much color in it that it is regarded by the best customers as undesirable. Superintending the Farm. The farmer that succeeds is the one that thinks and thinks to some end. The superintendence of the farm is the thing of most importance to a; man that has a farm large enough to require the work of a number of men. ; The man with the little farm can think as he goes along, but not so the man that has a large area of expensive : land to control. This was forcibly brought to our attention recently in a visit to one of the most successful farmers in Illinois. He said that one of the greatest faults he had noticed with unsuccessful farmers was their lack of ability to plan. He himself always made it a point to think out the work days ahead, and to tell the men the night before what they were each to do on a certain day. cited the instance of one farmer that lacked this power. He would not try to think what to do till the day came when the work was to be done and then he never succeeded in arrang- ing his work so as to save time. He would say to one man, “Well, you go over and repair tnat fence,” and he would go perhaps a mile to make a little repair on a fence, which could have been repaired when the men were in that vicinity engaged on some other work. This meant a loss of time that was a very consideraole factor when it was repeated over and over throughout the year in various forms. The man at the head of af- fairs is the one that must make the farm work a success, if it is to be a success, Pain Costs Money. It pays to keep the animals com- fortable. If an animal is‘subject to discomforts of any kind it will de- crease the gains he will make on feed. This has been demonstrated over and over again, At a Wisconsin conven- tion a cattle feeder said: “You must keep a steer comfortable. One time I had my steers weighed in and one had gained only ten pounds during the month, while the others had gained from fifty to sixty pounds each. I thought of course my boys that had | weighed them had made a mistake. The second month that steer gained only fifteen pounds, while the others had gained eighty pounds. I exam- ined that steer and I found he stood where the floor had worn down and that he had stood on his toes and his ! legs-had become sore. He had been in pain all the time. I took him out of that place and put him in a box stall, and he gained ninety pounds a month for the next three months. At another ume I let the steers out for water and they ran hard and one steer. hit and cracked his horn. He gained only fifteen pounds the next month. The rest gained eighty pounds each.” Milking by Contract. J. H. Monrad, in New York Produce Review, tells of a contract system of milking in vogue on some farms in Denmark. Women do the milking and are paid according to the amount of milk they extract from the cows or according to the amount of butter fat contained in it. The latter system he regards as the better of the two, as it induces the milkers to strip the cows carefully, knowing that the rich- est milk is in the strippings. The milkers receive a certain sum of money weekly and twice a year are given what additional amount is com- ing to them on the basis of the fat content of the milk. This system would probably work better on large farms than on small ones and better in Denmark than in the United States. We imagine that it would be just a little difficult to get American milk- ers to enter into an arrangement of that kind. Floors in the Hog House. Some swine raisers use floors in their hog houses and some do not. We find on investigation that there is a wide difference of opinion in this regard. The small pens that are placed in isolated spots sometimes have floors in them, but often do not. One swine raiser says that he at first made wooden floors in all ‘of his movable houses, but afterward so con- structed them that they could be taken out without interfering with the rest of the structure. The movable houses were built to set on the floors and could be removed by lifting off’ the house. The floors are very advan- tageous in cold weather when the feeding should be done on something rather than the snow. In summer, when the weather is good, the hogs, he says, are better off on the ground than on any kind of a floor. Feeding the Calf. When you get to the calf remember patience. He doesn’t understand your deal—whether you want to veal him, torpedo him or nurture him. Have a prayer—learned at the maternal knee —on your lips as you proceed. Tickle his slimy, avaricious nose. with the tips of your fingers. As more deeply absorbed and things are doin’ don’t forget the prayer. Hypnot- ically your calm state of mind will lead bossy to the light, and humping his limber spine he will go in for his mess like a Jap after a Russ cruiser, rising at intervals to blow the token of his happy dip on the rim of your bib overalls. “But remember he’s a calf—the same as you used to be— He |} ‘ou become |, 4 ; Women who work, whether in the house, store, office or factory, very rarely have the ability to stand the strain. The case of Miss Frankie Orser, of Boston, Mass, is interesting to all women, and adds further proof that woman’s great friend in need is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “DEAR Mrs. Pryvguam:—I suffered misery for several years. My back ached and I had bearing down pains, and frequent headechans I would often wake froma restful sleep in such pain and misery that it would be hours before | I could close my eyes again. I dreaded the long nights and weary days. I could do no work. I consulted different physicians hoping to get relief, but, finding that their medicines did not cure me, I tried Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, as it was highly recomended to me. I am glad that I did so, for I soon found that it was the medicine for my case. Very soon I was rid of every ache and pain and restored to perfect health. I feel splendid, | have a fine appetite, and have gained in weight a lot.” — Miss FRANKIE ORSER, 14 Warrenton St., Boston, Muss. | Surely you cannot wish to remain weak, sick and discouraged, and exhausted with each day’s work. Some derangement of the feminine organs is reponsible for this exhaustion, following any kind of work or effort. Lydia E.

I felt sore all over, with a pounding in my head, and a dizziness which I had never experienced before. I had a miserable appetite, nothing tasted good, and gradually my health broke down completely. The doctor said I had female weakness, but, although I took his medicine faithfully, I found no relief. “* After two months I decided to try what. achange would do for me, and as Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was strongly recommended to me I decided to try it. Within three days I felt better, my appetite returned, and I could sleep. In another week I was able to sit up part of the day, and in ten days more I was well. pe : My strength had returned, I gained fourteen eT pounds, and felt better and stronger than I had for years.
