Smith -v Mr. M. J. Kossman, a prominent merchant of Greensboro, and an elder in the Presbyterian church of that place, has used Peruna, and in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine of Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows: "For a long time I was troubled with catarrh of the kidneys, and tried many rem-' cdies, all of which gave me no relief. 'Pe nuia was recommended to me by several friends, and after using a few bottles I am pleased to say that the long looked for relief was found and I am now enjoing better health than 1 have foryearr and can heartily recommend Peru -na to all similarly Iti certainly a grand medicine."

Catarrh is essentially the same wherever located. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. If you do not derive prompt and satis, factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he. will be pleased to give you his valuable advice Address Dr.

Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio. THE day was when men of prominence hesitated to give their testimonials to proprietary medicines for publication. This remains true to-day of most proprietary medicines. But Peruna has become so justly famous, its merits are known to so many people of high and low stations, that no one hesitates to set his name in print recommending Peruna. The highest men in our nation have given Peruna a strong indorsement.

Men representing all classes and stations are equally represented. A dignified representative of the Presbyterian church in the person of Rev. E. (J. Smith does not hesitate to state publicly that he has used Peruna in his family and found it cured when other remedies failed.

In this statement the Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in his church. Rev. G. Smith, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Greensboro, writes: "Having used Peruna in my family for some time it gives me pleasure to testify to its true worth.

"My little boy, seven years of age, had been suffering for some time with catarrh of the lower bowels. Other remedies had failed, but after taking two bottles of Peruna the trouble almost entirely disappeared. For this special malady I consider it well nigh a specific.

The most profitable crops at a rule are those that are grown early. Hence the fertilization should be such as to encourage.

very, rapid early growth. That Is, corn should be ready for market from a month to six week earlier than is the case where planted at the usual time, and grown under ordinary conditions. It is necessary, therefore, that the plant should have an abundance, not only of all food constituents, but that they shall be of a highly character. The mineral elements may be derived from the same source as thess recommended for field and forage corn. The nitrogen should be obtained from quick-acting materials, and preferably in organic forms, though part may be obtained from nitrate of soda.

An application of .500 to 800 pounds per acre of a mixture showing nitrogen four per cent, phosphoric acid (available) six per cent, and potash eight per would furnish on most soils suitable for the crop a sufficient abundance of the For the central and eastern conditions of climate one-third at least of the nitrogen may be in the form of nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia; the remainder in organic forms, as dried blood, dried fish, cottonseed meal, etc. For south, all of the nitrogen may be derived from cottonseed meal, though where this material is the entire source of nitrogen a larger application should be Sweet corn may be regarded as a crop possessing a high commercial value, and therefore much larger applications can be afforded than in the case of field corn.

American. Agriculturist, fl i i i 1 Good Dairy Procpecta There is going to be a better demand for a good quality of farm dairy butter from this time forward, oleo or no oleb. The legitimate dairy business, under the supervision and management of skilled and well trained labor, offers excellent advantage for good, substantial remuneration" for the labor put into the work. The limit of the profit will depend more on how skillfully and economically the business is conducted than upon oleo legislation or local influences in high prices or low prices of the product It is a permanency, a fixture in the food products of the country, Its changes will come by improvements in the methods of manufacture and handling, but not in substitutes which will displace it in consumptive demand. Xow is, the time to look well after the dairy cows, because it pays to have the very best machines at work manufacturing this high-priced butter.

The shart milker and low quality cow should be replaced at once by a good one. There is now a large prospective crop growing. It may mature into all that could be desired, yet it will not furnish cheap feed when compared with old-time prices. The corn crop, no matter how abundant the yield throughout the entire corn belt, will not be the cheap feed it used to be. It will require a big yield to fill up the empty cribs, the empty elevators, the depleted stocks throughout the markets of the world, and then have sufficient for the feeding industries that will revive with the influences of a big corn crop, The silo has been revived under the iufluence of high-priced feeds during the last year.

Silo crops are being raised and silos will be built in view of better and cheaper dairy cow feed. This is the time for the dairyman to be exerting his efforts for a profitable year in the dairy-business. r-, A Solar Wax extractor.

There are 700O of them, and they are worth on an average of S3000 each. The wealth of the more industrious foot up even higher, certain individuals being the owners of from $10,000 to $15,000 worth of land each.

These negroes are the descendants of slaves of the Creek tribe of Indians, and are known as Creek negroes. They are entitled to a share in the division of Creek Indian lands, also a part of the trust funds. 7000 negroes own acres of land. And yet their education is far from social, environments are crude to the" extreme, and progress goes slowly amid their huts and fields. Unlike the other Indians of the rich five civilized tribes, the Creeks insisted upon freeing their slaves to give them an equal share in their lands and money, At that time there were few slaves, but the number grew through Jescendants, until now fully 7000 have laid successful ciaim to a "head right" the Creek rolls of citizenship.

They aave their own representatives in the Creek Indian Legislature, their own ichools and their own Everything bids fair to make them the model community of negroes in the United States when Indian Territory is recov-ired from tha tangled wilderness of reconstruction, its laws made uniform ind itself a State of the Union. There is Uttle culture among the Creek negroes. They have a social set ill their own; to which, not even the indians are invited. Their characteristics are in a great measure different from the negro of the South or the Xorth. It is a mixture of both, with idditional peculiarities.

Like the Indians, these negroes have their dances in the open, which have me to be a sort of religion with them. And, following in the footsteps it the Southern negro, they have barbecues, 'possum hunts and the like. A.s a Northern type of the negro they ire more industrious and independent jf the whites, know how to work hard md save their money, and," like the from the city, are well dressed jaudily, but at the same time wearing expensive clothes. These 7000 Creek negroes live in a tract of rich land called the Canadian liver bottoms," and Okmulgee is their town and trading point. Okmulgee is the capital of the Creek Indian nation, and has been for years a negro town.

Recently, however, white people docked In and have taken possession. The negroes are starting their own towns along the branch of the 'Frisco railroad. Notwithstanding that many of these Creek negroes are industrious, there are some among them who rent out their estates and lounge in idleness about the railway stations. It is a common sight to see a 500-acre tract )f rich land in the Canadian bottoms being tilled by a white man. Invarl ably, upon inquiry as to his landlord, he will refer to the negro owner in no terms.

Meanwhile one (vill find the owner shooting craps or enjoying himself eating turkey and possum in a neighboring village. When the Creeks freed their negroes In 1864 the two fraternized for a time, and even intermarried, but that has all passed now. In accordance with the terms granting their freedom the Creek negroes are allowed a voice in the tribal government, and so they have their own members in the council, have their own schools and all that; but the Creek 1 Indian feels above the Creek uegro and refuses to associate with him.

An English army officer, writing on the care of horses, says: "Regularity of exercise is an important element in the development of the highest powers of the horse. The horse in regular work will suffer less in his legs than another, for he becomes gradually and thoroughly accustomed to what is required of him. The whole living ma chine accommodates itself to the regular demands on it, the body becomes active and well conditioned, without superflous fat, and the muscles and tendons gradually develop. Horses regularly worked are also nearly exempt from the many accidents which arise from overf reshness. "As a proof of the value of regular exercise we need only refer to the stage Coach horses of former days.

Many of these animals, though by no means of the best physical frame, would trot with a heavy load behind them for eight hours, at the rate of ten miles an hour without turning a hair, and this work they would continue to do for years without being sick or sorry. Few gentlemen can say as much for their carriage horses. No horses, in fact, were in harder "On the other hand, if exercise be neglected, even for a few days In a borse In high condition, he will put on fat He has been making daily the large amount of material needed to sustain the consumption caused by his work. If that work ceases suddenly nature will, notwithstanding, continue to supply the new material; and fat, followed by plethora and frequently by disease, will be the speedy consequence."

The box is filled from the kitchen side, and if the boxes axe kept closed when not in use. cooking odors will not penetrate the dining room. The box is made into the partition of the rooms, it projects into the dining-room one foot and the same into the kitchen Including the width of the partition, the woodbox is about two feet four inches wide. There is a fall of six inches from the top or back of the box to the outer edge where the cover is hinged. This makes the cover of the box, when opened, drop down against the box and thereby save defacing the wall of the room.

Mrs. T. C. Ty, Fayette, Minn. Sheep Food.

In summer sheep prefer short blue grass, or clover pasture, but for a change of diet, of ten eat many kinds of weeds and briars. One must feed only sound, wholesome food, but it must be of the right kind, if it is expected to clip a heavy fleece. A sheep can be fatted on food abounding in starch and sugar, but wool cannot be made of these alone. Its fibre is made largely of flesh-forming elements. The blue grass, or clover, of the summer pasture yields this sufficiently, but in the winter oats, wheat, middlings and bran should be fed with corn, if that grain is preferred.

Sheep can be kept fat all winter on turnips, butr it will be at the expense of the fibre of the wool. Abundance of rich food will increase not only the length but also the grossness or coarseness of the fibre, thereby making it more suitable for combing and less adapted to the making of cloth. Preparations For Swarming. Hives should be in readiness and at least two should be complete and on the stand with cinders or sand. Have some extra combs if possible to put in as starters.

Have handy" your ladder, saw and swarming box, if you use one. As to time of swarming there is much truth in the old adage, "a swarm in May is worth a load of hay, in June a silver spoon, in July not worth a fly." Some swarms early in July are very good if you are in a buckwheat section where a crop of buckwheat honey, is much depended on for surplus Still much depends on strength of swarm, also care and the amount of comb that is placed under them to work on at the start. Bees can make comb slowly. Symptoms of swarming can be seen and sometimes a little experience and forethought in this direction may save much An almost certain sign is when the bees go in the hive after having clustered outside around the entrance during the morning. Sometimes swarms may issue when the front' bf hive is covered with bees hanging out and as soon as the swarming hum starts up they join the ranks, but such colonies are or have habitual loafers that do not and will not work.

Uneasiness on the. part of bees near the entrance is a good indication of swarming. George H. Townsend. Potato Variety Test.

The little value'of a comparative test of the yield per acre of different varieties of potatoes'is shown by a bullc tin Issued by the Experiment Station in Ohio, where they have on record the average yield of fifty-five varieties for three years and nineteen varieties for five years, rejecting from the longer tests some which did not make a good showing in the early tests and substituting others. Among the ten Varieties that were most, prolific, Mopdi's Early Thoroughbred was third best last year, second best on an average for three years, and eighth in the five years average. Early Hose was ninth best last year, and ninth on three years average. Early Rose was ninth best last year, and third best on average for three years, while Plngree was sixth best last year, and tenth best In three years average. 1 Uncle Sam stood eighth in three years' test, and fourth in averago for flvo years.

No others, appear twice In tne three lists among the ten most prolific varieties. They recommended Earlv Trumbull, Bovee, Mondi's Early Thoroughbred, Early Ohio and Early Harvest among early varieties, and Whiton'a White Mammoth, Livingston, Sir Walter Raleigh and Carmen No. 3 for late crops. For home use or table varieties they recommend especially Early Trumbull, Early Harvest, Livingston, Choice "and Uncle Superphosphate at the rntcof one hundred pounds per acre has given increase at the rate of nine cents a bushel, as an average of eight years' test, and lnrger amounts of fertilizer have cost from thirteen cents to- forty-seven cents for each bushel of increase. But as soil in the Eastern States differs from that in Ohio, the same results might Dot be obtained here.
