ees CLEMENTINA GONZALES, OF CENTRAL AMERICA, RESTORED TO HEALTH. PE-RU-NA THE REMEDY. Miss Clementina Gonzales, Hotel Pro- vincia, Guatemala, C. A., in a recent letter from 247 Cleveland Ave., Chicago, Ill., writes: “I took Peruna for a worn-out con- dition. Iwas so run down that I could not sleep at night, had no appetite and felt tired in the morning. «f tried many tonics, but Peruna was the only thing which helped me in the east. After I had taken but a halt bottle I felt much better. I continued its use for three weeks and I was com- pletely restored to health, and was able to take up my studies which I had been forced todrop. There is nothing better than Peruna to build up the system.’’—Clementina Gonzales. Address The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, Ohio, for instructive free literature on catarrh. Sure Enough.

GOOD HOT WEATHER READING. Some Wayback Winters That Were Corkers for Cold. “Weather talk is always harmless, if monotonous,” said Daniel O'Connor, Buffalo, “but the cold winter of 1709 was a corker in Europe. All the riv- ers and lakes were frozen, and even the sea for several miles from shore, The frost in the ground was nine feet deep. Birds and beasts were struck dead in the fields, and men perished by thousands in their houses. My ancestors lived in Galway then. In the south of France the vine plan- tations were almost destroyed, and it took a century to repair the damages. The Adriatic sea was frozen, and _s0 was the Mediterranean about Geneva, The winter of 1744 was cold, and snow fell in Portugal to the depth of twenty- three feet on the level. In 1754 and 1755 the climate in England was so severe that the strongest ale exposed to the air in a glass was frozen an eighth of an inch thick. I find the other extreme winters in the eigh- teenth century were 1716, 1726, 1740, 1771, 1774, 1775 and 1776.”— eR Seas Lesson for Women, Jersey Shore, Pa., Aug. 28th (Spe- cial) —‘‘Dodd’s Kidney Pills have done worlds of good for me.” That's what Mrs. C. B. Earnest of this place has to say of the Great Americar Kidney Remedy. “I was laid up sick,’ Mrs. Earnest continues, “and had not been out of bed for five weeks. Then I began to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills and now I am so I can work and go down town without suffering any. I would not be without Dodd’s Kidney Pills. I have good rea- son to praise them everywhere.” Women who suffer should learn a jJesson from this, and that lesson is “cure the kidneys with Dodd’s Kidney Pills and your suffering will cease.” Oats in the Poultry Ration. I find sometimes that there is prej- udice against feeding oats to poultry, but I always find that this prejudice is based on inexperience. One man that raises a great many birds said to me that he had never fed oats and did not believe in feeding them. I asked him why, and he said that his poultry did not like oats, and also that he had heard that hens and chickens would fill their crops with oats and that when they drank water the sharp points of the oats would penetrate their crops. I asked him whether he had ever heard of a case of this kind, and he replied that he had not, but that he had heard so much about it that he was inclined to believe that it was true. I told him that I had fed oats for a dozen years, and had never had a case of this kind. If oats ever penetrate the crops of fowls, it is under exceptional condi- tions. I can well understand a chick being deprived of food for a good many hours and then being given a large supply of oats. I can conceive of this chick filling its crop so full of oats that when it took water the oats would swell, and the points of some of them would penetrate the mem- brane. I have never had a case of this kind because I have never per- mitted the chicks to get so hungry that they would fill themselves full of oats in an attempt to appease that hunger. It is perfectly safe to allow hens to have constant access to oats, in which case they will never eat too many. As to the liking for oats, it is quickly acquired by the flock. Most birds and animals show a dislike to foods that they are not accustomed to. As is well known, the steers from the western plains, when offered corn, re- fuse it at first. They acquire a liking for it little by little. The same is true of poultry. I believe that the oat isa very desirable food for poultry, as the ingredients composing it are well bal- anced in their relations to each other. —Peter Graham, Bourbon Co., Kan., in Farmers’ Review. Health of Show Birds. A large breeder of poultry tells us that the losses in the show room sus- tained by fanciers is very great. In some cases half the fowls that are taken to the shows and that make the rounds of the shows, die before the show season is over. Some of the ones that come back are debilitated and are never of much value to the show man or others. The man that sends his birds to the show has to ex- pose them to all kinds of weather con- ditions. _The worst of these are damp- ness and drafts. It is extremely diffi- cult to get a show room, especially at the fairs, where there are no drafts. Doors are generally open on opposite sides of the building, and frequently cen four sides, and when this is not the case, windows are open to get a draft through. When hundreds of birds are on exhibition in one small room it is absolutely necessary to get frequent changes of air, and this re- sults in drafts. Probably in these show rooms drafts cannot be avoided and the show man must do the next best thing, which is to have a coop closed on all sides except one. These exhibition coops are generally cov- ered with muslin or cotton cloth, and theAlanger comes in having it open, or only partly nailed down at the sides. The coops should be so thoroughly covered with it that no drafts can get through. This will leave one side open for the feeding of the: birds, and drafts are not possible in such a case. Cockerels for Market. About half of all the hatched out prove to cockerels and most of these have to be sent to market to get rid of them, when the flock is so big that the farmer’s family cannot consume the extra birds. They should be segre- gated early in the summer, as soon as their frame is fairly well developed, and should be fed on a ration that is well balanced, having about one-sixth of it protein. Some say feed corn as soon as the birds are shut up, but this is not economical. Feed some corn and add ground oats, and give some green food. A variety of food is good at this time. A little time before marketing, say two weeks, deprive them of all exercise, as this will help them to lay on fat rapidly. The digest- ive power that has been gained while they had exercise will last for a time after they have been deprived of exer- cise. birds be Variation in Fowls.

It can not be denied that exhibits of swine at the small and large fairs of the country have done a great deal of good in teaching farmers'the types of the various pure breeds of swine and in stimulating them to attempt the im- provement of their home herd and fully develop the pigs by adequate feeding and good care, such as is given to show animals by the profes- sional exhibitor and his assistants. It is no less true that the exhibits at most of the state fairs are growing un- wieldy and less instructive to visitors than would be the case were 50 or 60 per cent of the animals excluded from the exhibition. Breeders evidently bring far more hogs to the fair than they have any intention of showing, and indeed many men show but three or four hogs out of an entry of per- haps ten to twenty head. This, we think, is correct, but we may be a little off as to exact figures. The principle is at least correct, in that many of the hogs entered are not brought forward for competition, but are merely brought to the fair with the hope of finding a purchaser. ‘This is all right for the breeder and per- haps good for the prospective buyer in a few instances, but it is not for the general good of the visitor, who wants the best possible chance to see the best hogs and compare them, so that he may learn correct lessons as to best types and improvements that are being made from year to year in the various breeds of swine. Times are changing. The time was was when the number of head of swine at a show was taken as the criterion of success. The management came to the conclusion that where a great many breeders and a vast number of swine came together there _ surely would be the best possible aggrega- tion of swine for the education of the farming public. But they erred in this estimate, for we have seen a bet- ter show of swine where but two or three hundred were exhibited than was the case where a thousand head crowded the buildings to overflowing. When but a few hundred were shown they were the pick of the breeders’ home lot of hogs. Now that many hundreds are shown a few of them are fine specimens, and the majority are of medium or inferior quality and brought forward to sell. It is good that the breeder has an opportunity to sell his hogs at the state fair, but it is unfortunate that the present method of exhibiting allows the ex hibitor to fill any number of pens he cares to pay for and with any kind o! hog he fancies will sell to good ad vantage. We do not desire to cur tail the opportunities of the breeder but we do wish to improve those o! the visitor and student. To this end the management o! every fair should set apart accommo dations for hogs intended for sale, but not for show. The houses for show hogs should be kept clean, well dis: infected, deodorized and ventilated, sc that visitors may go the rounds in comfort, and the hogs be less exposed to the ravages of contagious disease Into these show houses a single ex hibitor should not be allowed to put more than sufficient swine to give him one, or at most, two or three, candi: dates for honors in each event. Were this done the visitor could then make an intelligent study of the winners and, by looking at the pick of the swine, would best educate himself tc improvements taking place in types and among the different breeds. The work of the judges would also be greatly lessened, for it takes time tc weed out the poor hogs until the good ones remain to be given the prizes. Another necessary improvement in connection with the exhibition of hogs at the state fairs is better drainage of the sites of the hog houses. At some fairs should a rain come, the ground about the hog houses is speed ily trampled to a mush and visitors out rubber boots. It would be a com paratively easy matter to properly drain such places and to provide side- walks built high enough above the ground to keep them from becoming water-logged and mud-covered during a wet spell. Lastly it will be well when hogs can be housed according to classes as well as breeds, but mucb simpler things have to be properly at- tended to before such a radical meas- ure as this can be instituted—a. 8. Alexander in Farmers’ Review, The Cream Separator. In this modern age no man can afford to hold to the old ways of doing things if he can find a better way. The man that has ten cows or more certainly can not afford to be without a cream sep- arator. We do not say hand sep arator, for a power separator is bet- ter, as the wind or some other me chanical power can be harnessed to it. The hand separator is better than no separator, but with wind power, gasoline power and steam power all around us, to say nothing of hy- draulic power, it is a pity they can not be used. We advise every farmer that has a good sized. herd’ of cows to take his pencil, sit down and fig- ure out the profit and loss of both ways of doing business. The small grower of fruit can reach his customers personally. The large grower of fruit cannot. This is where the small grower has the advantage over the large grower. * ‘SENATOR SULLIVAN Says He Has- Found Doan’s Kidney Pills invaluable in Treating Sick Kidneys. Hon. Timothy D.

Blase Newport has been awakened into a semblance of interest by Miss Evelyn Walsh, the beautiful daughter of Thomas F. Walsh, millionaire miner of Colorado. Miss Walsh is the “boss” of a $20,000 automobile, which she drives herself without the aid of a chauffeur. She knows the mechanical make-up of the machine as perfectly as the manufacturer, and it is a treat for the gnervated Newporters to watch her make ready for a spin, which she does by a close examination of all the working parts of the car. She is a cool and careful driver, and while fond of high speed has a lively appreciation of. the rights of pedestri- ans and of horse-drawn vehicles. She has never had an accident or a break- down, and can put many of the profes- sional chauffeurs to blush when it comes to skillful handling and turn- ing sharp corners.—New York Press. WOKE THE WRONG MAN. So Peddler With Blackened Face Thought When He Looked in Glass. Frank Bush, down at Brighton Beach, tells of a Jew peddler who ar- j rived at a country hotel one night in| a blizzard. The storm was so bad that he could not proceed farther, yet the landlord had no room for him, unless he was willing to occupy a bed with a negro. The peddler balked at this for some time, but finally became so sleepy that he accepted the situa- tion and turned in with the black man, leaving an order to be called early. Then the boy about the hotel got in his funny work and blackened the ped- dler’s face while he slept. In the morning the boy called the Jew at the appointed time, but. when the guest had arisen and looked at himself in the niirror, he returned to bed, saying: “Vell, I go back to sleep.
