| | Are we claiming too much for Peruna when we claim it to be an effective remedy for chronic eatarrh? Have we abundant proof that Peruna is in real- ity such acatarrh remedy? Let us seo what the United States Dispensatory says of the principal ingredients of Peruna, ; , Take, for instance, the ingredient hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes lining various organs of the human body. Another ingredient of Peruna, cory- dalis formosa, is classed in the United States Dispensatory as a tonic. Cedron seeds is another ingredient of Peruna, The United States Dispensa- tory says of the action 6f cedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery, and in inter- mittent diseases as a substitute for quinine.

A. Gaumnitz, M. S.. Agr., Minnesota. It is generally conceded that good pastures furnish by far the cheapest feed for growing animals on land not exceeding $100 per acre in value. The truth of this argument is quite evident when it is considered that the feed as ob- tained by the ani- mal is in the very best condition.That is, it is succulent, contains all the nutrients in an easily digestible form and is ob- tained by the ani- mal under very healthful condi- tions. In addition to this the cost of harvesting, curing, stacking and feed- ing is eliminated. On Jand worth $70 Good Post for Per acre a cow Temporary. Fen- ©2" be pastured cing. for less than five cents per day, the fence. It is much easier to fence hogs into a cornfield than to fence them out, and, as a rule, they do not make much effort to get out. In case they do attempt to get out, a barbed wire stretched along the bottom, or stakes one or two feet long driven between posts and left just enough above the ground so that the bottom of the wire ribbon may be stapled to them will keep them on the right side. Such fencing will cost from 30 to 40 cents per rod. The amount of fencing used and the methods employed in handling it (see accompanying table) will make the cost vary from $1.50 to three dollars per acre. This will un- doubtedly prove more profitable in many cases than husking the corn and feeding in the yard, especially if there is a good growth of rape or other catch crop that the hogs can get at the same time they are getting the corn. In case this is not done, it is more economical to snap corn that is to be fed at once than to carefully husk it. Fencing intelligently done offers one of the safest investments of any of the farm improvements. Not alone is it valuable to inclose the regular pasture, but it often makes possible the pastur- while at the present price of grain and | ing off of grain‘and corn fields after har Average Annual Cost of Fencing.

The figures are obtained by divid- ing the cost per rod of the fence by the number of years it is expected to last and adding to this the interest on the aver- hay it costs on the average farm from 8 to 12 cents per day to feed the same cow in the barn. Experiments show that as much pork can be made from one acre of good pasture as from one ton of shorts or corn. The cost of these feeds varies from $15 to $20 per ton. An acre of pasture will save, then, from $15 to $20 worth of feed. It is quite evident that in the economical pro- duction of animal products good pas- tures are an important factor. The reason more and better hog pastures are not used is chiefly due to the fact that hog fences are quite expensive. The advent of the woven wire fence is overcoming this feature and now land may be fenced hog tight age annual investment. To illustrate how these figures may be used, let us consider the fencing required per acre to inclose ve hog paddocks on farm shown in Fig. i, xteen rods of fencing is required If the, fencing costs 55¢ per rod, and will last eight years, the cost per year is 8.7c—8.7cx16 equals $1.39, or aver- age annual cost of fence per acre. vesting, thus saving from ten cents to five dollars an acre, which would oth- erwise be wasted. However, like any other investment, it should be made only when careful reasoning shows if to be advisable. A PERTINENT _ QUESTION “FARMERS MUST KEEP UP ROADS.” “POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT MAKES RULING AFFECTING RURAL DELIVERY.” These headlines appeared in the Chicago Inter Ocean July 24. It is per- tinent to ask why the farmers must at an annual cost of from $1 to $2.50 per acre, depending on the size and shape of fields fenced and cost of posts. For temporary fences for hogs many farmers use only a plain woven wire ribbon 24 or 26 inches high, put up on small posts or stakes set from one to rods apart. The best kind of posts to use for such work are about three- inch posts, six feet long, well shar- pened, and the corners rounded off on the upper end so they will not split in driving. Holes may be made rap- idly with a crowbar and then two or three good blows with a post maul will make the posts solid enough for tem- porary use. Such posts are easily; A Good Hog Fence. keep up the roads. The roads are public property—they belong to all, are used by all and all are benefited by them. The sender of a letter to a farmer served by rural delivery may be just as much interested in its de- livery as the one who receives it, Mail delivery is a public service per- formed over public Property. Good roads help the farmer more than any- one else, but they are not the only ones benefited. The country mer- chant and every one who consumes farm products gain by good.roads. The fair way, the equitable way and the only successful way to get good roads is by state aid, i. e., the state from the general tax levy or a bond issue to pay taken out when it is desired to move| half the cost and tax everybody for at IN THE EARLY DAYS \ icusibianeed ve) OF A VETERAN RAILROAD BUILDER. Was with Surveying Party in . the Time of Strap Rails and Wood- Burning Engines—Hard Work Then to “Fire.” The railway’s gray-haired vice presi- dent was sitting one evening on the shaded veranda of his country home, sipping his tea. From his rich store of personal experiences he recalled incident after incident showing the evolution of steam transportation, from the days of strap rails and wood- burning engines down to the fine roadbeds and mighty locomotives of to-day, _ “When I began my career ag an en- gineer,” he said, “the Vermont Cen- tral railroad had just been started. I got a job on one of the surveying par- ties and gradually worked up to using the transit. This was in August, 1845. The division which was to be sur- veyed by our party extended from what is now known as Montpelier Junction to Richmond, and a part of the winter's location was along the hogbacks, so steep as to be danger- ous. The chainmen had to be sup- ported by ropes as they plumbed down some of these chasms. “I had determined to be as accurate as possible in all my work, and there Was a peg at each stake, the level of which had been taken and recorded. I was particular to have Carpenter, who was rodman, to be sure that he was holding on the peg. This was right enough, but of little consequence in setting out the slopes, and it af- forded a chance for fun. Carpenter, who was not devout, wrote a parody which he called ‘My Creed.’ It began: ‘I believe in a peg, one truth above the surface of the ground, and in,’ oe Before beginning work these two uld stand shoulder to shoulder and recite this to the joy of the other members of the.party. “Locating a right of way was not then the strenuous task that it became after the roads penetrated beyond civ- ilization. We enjoyed balls and -par- ties and sleigh rides with the girls to an enormous extent. as it now seems to me. Our headquarters east of Waterbury was at Hart’s tavern, a mile east of Middlesex, a capital hos- telry in a village swarming with pretty girls. They could not be ap- proached, however, until we were properly introduced, and this became a problem. Finally it was solved by our host and his wife, who gave an ‘apple paring’ to which all the girls and some of their men friends were invited. “When I had obtained a full knowl- edge of surveying, as I wished to master all the branches of railroad life, I obtained a place as fireman on one of the ‘wood burners,’ the only form of locomotive then known. Fir- ing an engine in those days meant continually passing logs two feet long and four inches in diameter from the tender into the firebox. Any man who Kept that up day in and day out could boast a set of back muscles that would put your modern ‘strong men’ to shame.” DISCIPLINE OF THE RAILROAD. is First and Foremost to De- velop Good Habits. On a railroad nowadays, when a “green” makes a mistake, he is quietly informed by his superintendent that five or ten demerit marks have been placed against his name on the record pook. The shock he receives on the commission of his first mistake is not very striking. He has perhaps been called upon to think, but in order to give his thoughts pungency and direc- tion, he should also have been called upon tp feel. Good habits are induced by feeling plus thought much more surely and expeditiously than by thought alone. Feeling plus thought is the scientific route. Some day, per- haps, thought alone will prove suf- ficient, but a railroad is no place to experiment with Utopian possibilities. What is necessary is the best and quickest way to originate good habits. The whole nervous system in man is first organized by habit. The feeling plus thought method of discipline is humane as well as scientific, and is the most potent instigator and prompter of habit. According to Webster, discipline is “subjection to severe and systematic training.” In the American method of discipline on railroads, there is no systematic training of any kind; sen- sation or feeling plays no part in it, and thought is left to take care o: itself —J. O. Fagan, in Atlantic. Idea Aveiding Accidents. As an instance of the Great Eastern railway’s elaborate precautions for the safety of travelers on its system, an English exchange says that at Brox- bourne, for the purpose of advising the station signalman when a train has passed his down or up advanced starting signal, a rail contact is placed about 300 yards ahead of the respec- tive advanced starting signals, and on the engine reaching the rail contact a bell is rung in the signal-box, and this bell continues ringing until the signal is replaced to danger. No Water on Hotboxes. An interesting ruling to trainmen fs one handed down recently by the state commission of New Jersey. The order is that hotboxes must not be cooled by pouring water on them, be- cause, it is claimed, this crystallizes the iron and makes it subject to easy fracture. The practice is an old one. WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS TO THE BUYER Few people realize the importance of the words “Trade Mark” stamped on the goods they buy. If they did it would save them many a dollar spent for worthless goods and put a lot of unscrupulous manufacturers out cf the business. When a manufacturer adopts~ a trade mark he assumes the entire re- sponsibility for the merit of his prod- uct. He takes his business repu- tion in his hands—out in the lime- light—‘“on the square” with the buy- er of his goods, with the dealer, and with himself. The other manufacturer—the one who holds out “inducements,” offer- ing to brand all goods purchased with each local dealer’s brand — sidesteps responsibility, and when these infe- rior goods “come back” it’s the: local dealer that must pay the penalty. A good example of the kind of pro- tection afforded the public by a trade mark is that offered in connection with National Lead Company’s adver- tising of pure White Lead as the best paint material. That the Dutch Boy Painter trade mark is an absolute guaranty of puri- | ty in White Lead is proved to the most skeptical by the offer National Lead Company make to send free to any address a blow-pipe and instruc- tions how to test the white lead, for themselves. The testing outfit is be ing sent out from the New York office of the company, Woodbridge Building. The Envy of London Club Life. In no city in the world are there so many clubs as in London. They are one of the essential factors in English fashionable, artistic and _po- litical life. It is the home of the “gentleman,” and we _ Italians have nothing whatever that can even com- pare with those useful and refined in- stitutions. HOYT’S HEADACHE AND NEURALGIA COLOGNE.
