I have been experimenting with a laxa- tive addition for quite a length of time, and now feel gratified to an- nounce to the friends of Peruna that I have incorporated such a quality in the medicine which, in my opinion, can only enhance its well-known bene- ficial character. - B.

Jack was just about to build his fa- mous house. “Why don’t you get some men to help you?” asked the curious friend. “No, sir,” replied Jack, “they would eall a strike on me before the house was finished. I'll build it myself.” Thus we know why the house was called “the house that Jack built.” Se SeseSesesesesesesesesesesescseseSeseeeseSeyesesecess M.

Brantley Willis, a former railroad man of Fargo, enlisted in the regular army at the local station. He was or- dered to Snelling and given transpor- tation, with permission to spend a day or two with St. Paul friends before reporting. He used the ticket, but never reached the fort, and is now down on the local books as a deserter. Two others, one of whom was cap- tured in South Dakota, failed to reach proper destination. Irish Wit. Once upon a time an Irishman and a Yankee were riding along together. They happend to pass a gallows and the Yankee asked: “Where would you be, friend ,if the gallows had all that is due to it?” “Sure, an’ I'd be ridin’ meself to-day, sor,” answered the witty son of Erin. Once upon a time an Irish horse dealer sold to a man a mare that he assured the purchaser was “sound in mind and limb and without fault.” After the mare’s new oner took her home he found the animal was blind in one eye and could scarcely see with the other. Returning to the Irishman, he protested, saying: “You assured me the mare was_ without fault, and I find her blind of an eye.” To this the ready Irishman made answer: “Sure, an’ the poor critter’s blindness is not her fault, but her misfortune, soir.” the truck patches. I have grown $15u worth of onions from the seed on a little more than one-half acre of land and lima beans, tomatoes, swee! po- tatoes and melons at a rate of better than $100 to the acre. - The truck, grounds should be near the house and the richest soil. An- nual applications of well. composted manure, ashes or commercial ferti- lizers should be made and the ground ought to be fall plowed. The work of preparing the ground and planting and cultivating the crops can be largely done at odd times when the other farm work is not pressing. The great point of success in truck farming as well as in general farm- ing is to do the work well and at the right time. Shallow and frequent cul- tivations should be given all crops, using horse cultivators where practi- cable and wheel tools where horses cannot be used. The hoe, however, should be the main reliance and should be used continuously till the crops are made. Onion seed should be in the ground early. Drill in rows 15 inches apart on new land or land rich in humus. Ashes are a good fertilizer for this crop. Tomatoes should be set out as soon as danger of frost is past. Put well rotted manure under each plant. Select a light, sandy soil for the sweet potato patch and top dress liberally with ashes. Make light ridges about VEGETABLES READY FOR MARKET. three feet apart and set plants 15 inches apart in the rows. Plant lima beans in checks the same as corn and stake two rows together in squares. Melons do best on sandy soil p!anted over well rotted manure. Cabbage soil should be very rich and the plants set in rows just far enough apart that the heads will about touch when ma- ture. In all truck crops earliness pays, and in the opinion of the Orange Judd Farmer, the farmer who will hustle and who will give trucking the same study and attention necessary to suc- cess in any other department of farm work, will find it both pleasant and profitable. The Farmer’s Account Book Many farmers experience so much difficulty in keeping accounts, if the ordinary bookkeeping systems are followed, that a simple and complete method, requiring only a single book, is very valuable. Such a method has been used by an Indiana farmer for a number of years, and he says he finds it is entirely practical. “I, use a special cash book,” he says, “which has a page about 12 inches wide and eight inches long. These pages are ruled, as shown in the cut, for debit and credit and cash items. “Upon opening accounts I cut off half of several of the pages, as illus- trated, and upon each of these stubs enter an account with a single farm product. Each field is also represented, all products of the field, and kinds of live stock. The full width pages con- tain the cash entries, and every farm transaction is considered in terms of cash. “When the sale is made the cash ac- count is credited for the amount of the sale, and then the item is en- tered on the corresponding page under the separate head. For instance, when a sale of hogs is made for $100, ARRANGEMENT OF ACCOUNT BOOK. this is entered upon the debit side of the cash account and in the debit side of the individual ac- count with hogs. Then when some feed is bought for hogs it is entered upon the credit side of the cash ac- count, also upon the credit side of the account with hogs. When the book is balanced the sum of the totals of the separate accounts should correspond with the total of the cash account. Two entries are re- quired in each case, but since the book is very condensed, and the accounts conveniently at hand, this can be done quickly.” The advantage of this system, as pointed out by the Farm and ‘Home, is that it keeps the accounts in a com- pact form and any item may be found with little difficulty. Turn ’Em Out. Oyster-shell and scurfy scales are not nearly so dangerous as the San Jose variety; but they are, neverthe- less, not desirable boarders to have. in the orchard, Turn ’em out! Gasoline Power i on the Farm The gasoline engine on the farm 4s coming more and more into evidence, for the progressive farmer is not slow to avail himself of everything in the way of machinery which will lighten his labors and facilitate the work of the farm. ‘Some farmers hesitate to install such engines for fear they will not be able to run them, but after a practical experience in their use, Frank Overmyer, in talking with a Farm Journal representative, says that it is his opinion that anyone who can run a binder or other machine can easily learn to run a gasoline engine. “My engine is a one and one-half AN AGRICULTURAL AUTO AND EN- GINE. horsepower machine. I built a truck for it out of an old steel binder. By buying a few extra bolts and a small wagon wheel, and using the binder truck for front wheels, I rigged up this truck for a few dollars. I put a plank platform on the truck. I used -the same gearing that was used to rin the binder, cut a hole through the plat- a form and run a belt from engine do to pulley. The outfit then moved itself along nicely. But I shall pu. a sprock- et chain belt on instead of a rubber belt, as the latter slips some in going up grades. A bevel friction, to start with, would be another improvemen I put my engine to the following uses: Pump water for our stock, at a cost o seven cents per week. “Saw pole wood at the rate of—wel’, three of us went to the woods and fa;- tened down buzz saw machine and en- gine; at nine o’clock we started to saw, and at noon we were through. After dinner we piled the wood up four feet high and the pile was 83 feet long. You can figure out the rate per day, if you like. “I go about the neighborhood cut- ting corn fodder and doing odd jobs. I have pumped water at our county fair grounds several times. The en- gine has paid for itself, and. is as goo? as ever. I have also attached some o! our machinery—such as _ grindstone, fanning mill, corn sheiler, etc. The engine has been worth a great dea’ to me in running these utensils. Think of thus grinding an ax, or reaper knives; you put on all the pressure you wish, and the fellow turning the stone doesn’t say a word! This means too, a much better job. “Some folks think it pays to hav an engine only on a large farm; bui I say that a man on a small farm car get along with less hired help if he has an engine to help him. I have lefi mine running, and have gone to tower, and when [ got back it was still dig- ging away; so it is more reliable than some hired men. “Since I mounted it on a truck, so as to propel it with its own power, I call it-the ‘Farmers’ Auto.’ My boy, nine years old, understands it very well. He and I were about to take a trip when the above picture was taken.” The Rose Garden and How to Care for It The amateur will find it advisable instead of propagating rose plants: to buy good one or two year old plants, if he wishes to add rose bushes to his garden. They may be had for low prices. The younger ones will pro- duce fewer flowers the first year, but they will be very satisfactory and in the second year will be at their best. They should be obtained when the gardener is ready to set them out in beds, preferably in April, although they may be planted later. The beds may be of any size and form. It should be in the open, where plenty of sunlight may reach the plants. It is an advantage to have it protected from high winds, as there then will be less trouble from mildew. The soil should be rich loam, well drained. When the plants are set out, thor- oughly water them, so as to settle the soil well around the roots. Rapid growth should follow. The only further treatment necessary is to keep the soil well stirred around the plants. If the summer is dry and warm a layer of pine needles or fine manure may be put on the soil around the plants. This would make less cultivation necessary; the ground would not dry out as rapidly. For many varieties of the rose which are not entirely hardy an additional coy- ering should be put around the plants for protection in extreme“ winter weather. In the spring this covering —composed of manure preferably— may be spaded into the soil and will act as a fertilizer. In covering the plants for the winter care should be taken not to allow the tops of the plants to be bent down under the weight of the protective material and snow which may come later. Germany’s Sailing Ships. The German government has be- come actively interested in the reviy- ing of the empire’s ship sailing trade, because of the rapid development of its navy and the great need of ‘sea- men. Sailing vessels are the only practical schools for deckhands. The government also desires to preserve and promote the small shipbuilding yards, which are declining [HE WENT ON GRUTCHES liams’ Pink Pills Cured His Rheumatism. .*Some years ago.”’ says Mr. W. H. Clark, a printer, living at 612 Buchanan | street, Topeka, Kans., ‘‘I had a bad at- | tack of rheumatism and could not seem to get over it. All sorts of medicines ; failed to do me any good and my trouble | kept getting worse. My feet. were so swollen that I could not wear shoes and Thad*to go on crutches. The pain was | terrible. “One day I was setting the type of an | article for ‘the paper telling what Dr. | Williams’ Pink Pills had done for a man afflicted as I was and I was so impressed | with it that I determined to give the medicine a trial. For a year my rheu- matism had been growing worse, but after taking Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills I began to improve. The pain and swell- ing all disappeared and I can truthfully say that I haven’t felt better in the past twenty years than I do right now. I could name, off hand, a half-dozen peo- ple who have used Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills at my suggestion and who have re- | ceived good results from them.’’ Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are guaran- } teed to be safe and harmless to the most | constitution.

They do not act on the bowels but they actually make new blood and strengthen the nerves. | Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cure rheuma- tism, because they make rich, red blood and no man or woman can have healthy blood and rheumatism at the same time.

Spread Rapidly Over Body—Limbs and Arms Had to Be Bandaged— Marvelous Cure by Cuticura. i “My son, who is now twenty-two years of age, when he was four months old began to have eczema on his face, spreading quite rapidly until he was nearly covered. We had all the doctors around us, and some from larger places, but no one helped him a | particle. The eczema was something terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst case they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but his feet. I had to bandage his limbs and arms; his scalp was just dreadful. A friend teased me to try Cuticura, and I be- gan to use all three of the Cuticura Remedies. _He was beiter in two months, and in six months he was well. Mrs. R. L. Risley, Piermont, N.
