Ostentations.
An Atchison man tells the Globe about
his uncle, an Irishman, why sudden
ly became rich. The tirst thing he did
was to buy the best pew in the church.
\\ hen Sunday rolled around the Irishman
walked grandly down the aisle, carrying
a silk hat and elegant overcoat. He
found t\vo strange women occupying his
j>ew. “Come out,” he said, imperiously.
The women were very much shocked, and
walked out, their heads hanging in shame.
‘‘Now, then, ladies,” the Irishman said,
‘oblige me by walking back. I just want
ed to show you who owned this pew.”

writes the following letter: —
“1 have been nwtully troubled with my
Kidneys. 1 wa9 in a bad tix and had
been doctoring with the Doctors, but was
getting no better I tried a remedy called
Dodd s Kidney Pills and I found they did
me lots of good. 1 had a slight return of
my trouble and I went to the Drug Store
and called for Dodd’s Kidney Pills. They
said there was no such pills. 1 told them
there was. They said they had the best
pills that were made and persuaded me
to try a box of another kind, not Dodd's.
As I needed some medicine, l bought a
box. but they did me no good, so I went
elsewhere and got the real Dodd’s lvidnev
Pills, and very soon was completely cured.
I took a box up to the Drug Store and
showed them that there was such pills and
asked them to order some, but as I
haven’t needed any more 1 haven't called
to see whether or not they got them.”

Million Dollar Grass.
When the John A. Sulzer Seed Go., of La
Crosse, Wis., introduced this remarkable
grass three years ago, little did they dream
it would be the most talked of grass in
America, the biggest, quick, hay producer
on earthy but this has come to pass.
Agr. Editors wrote about it, Agr. Col
lege Professors lectured about it, Agr. In
stitute Orators talked about it, while in
the farm home by the quiet fireside, in the
corner grocery, in the village post-office, at
the creamery, at the depot, in fact wher
ever farmers gathered, .'-alzer’s Billion Dol
lar Grass, that wonderful grass, good for
5 to 14 tons per acre and lots of pasture
besides, is always a theme worthy of the
farmer's voice.
Then comes I’romus Inermis, than which
there is no better grass or better permanent
bay producer on earth. Grows wherever
soil is found. Then the farmer talks about
Salzer’s Teosinte, which will produce 100
stocks from one kernel of seed, 11 ft. high,
in 100 days, rich in nutrition and greed
ily eaten fcy cattle, hogs, etc., and is good
fur 80 tons of green food per acre.
Victoria Rape, which can l»e grown at 25c
a ton. and SpeltZ at 20c a bu., both great
food for cattle, also come in for their
share in the discussion. [K. L.J

It has long been known that Argen
: Una was a great wheat producing coun
! try, and was giving the United States
a lively brush in the competitive mar
kets of Europe, but the American farm
er has believed himself practically se
cure in his supremacy in the raising of
Indian corn, or maize. However, he will
now have to look to his laurels, for the
; great grain growing country of South
| America has entered ihe field and is rap
| idly coming to the front with big yields
! from her vast farms. According to sta
| tistics prepared by the Argentine de
i partment of agriculture, the only ones
available, 3,473,722 acres were planted
| in corn in 1901, and the total yield was
I 84,018,265 bushels, or an average of 24.18
bushels per acre. Of this crop the cus
tom house statistics show an exporta
tion of 40,843,282 bushels. Owing to
j the system of preparing these statistics,
this amount is probably slightly in ex
cess of the amount actually exported,
hut only slightly. This crop was grown
between September, 1901, and March,
1902, and 90 per cent, of it was mar
keted betw een March and October, 1902.

1S86 to 1902, inclusive, has been as fol

ITALIAN COLONISTS HOME.
4.738.985 bushels; Belgium almost as
much, and France. Italy, Spaiu, Brazil,
I smaller quantities.
The production of maize, or Indian
corn, in the Argentine Republic, while
It has been going on for many years, is
only now developing into a great in
dustry. It is just growing out of the
primitive methods that have been hold
ing it back and which still prevent
farmers from realizing much more than
! half what they might. The results they
achieve are duo to the marvelous fer
tility of the soil and the perfect climatic
conditions, which, in spite of bad meth
ods. neglect, and general ignorance, give
bountiful harvests to men who would ut
terly fail in the corn belt of the United
States if they farmed as they do in Ar
gentina; and these men cannot long cou
i tinue in this manner where they are.
Every colonist wants at least 100 hec
tares. equal to 217 acres, and sometimes
| he succeeds in getting more. This is,
however, the usual limit for a family,
unless there are several large boys. The
rule on some large corn farms is that 2j
squares or about 104 acres, shall be al
lotted to every able-bodied working
i hand. Farming as they do, a man can
work that amount of land in corn until
j the gathering is upon him, when he musi
1 have help or suffer heavy losses.
Most of these “colonists,” or renters
are from the north of Italy, and are very
industrious and thrifty. They work ami
live under conditions that would not be
i endured by the poorest farm hand in
our country. Yet they have here s
chance that they could r.ot have at home
and most of them become well off in s
few years.
The Italian renter builds a mud house
with a zinc roof, all the materials beins
furnished by a “patron,” the owner ot
the land. Several hardwood posts art
: set in the ground and small boards nailec
across the top. The sheets of zinc an
j then spread over the frame for a roof
with a slight pitch. Wire is tied fron
post to post and cornstalks are wover
in. the wire holding them up. Mud is
! plastered on both sides of the stalks anc
i soon dries.

I am now treating another patient with
your medicine. She has been sick with
malaria and troubled with leucorrhsea.
1 have no doubt that a cure will be
speedily effected. ”
These are samples of letters received
by Dr. Hartman from the various
orders of Catholic Sisters throughout
the United States.
The names and addresses to these
letters have been withheld from respect
to the Sisters but will bo furnished on

One-lialf of the diseases which afflict
mankind are due to some catarrhal de
rangement of the mucous membrane
lining some organ or passage of the
body.
A remedy that would aet immediate
ly upon the congested mucous mem
brane restoring it to its normal state,
would consequently cure all these
diseases. Catarrh is catarrh wherever
located, whether it he in the head,
throat, l angs, stomach, kidneys or
pelvic organs. A remedy that will cure
it in one location will cure it in all lo
cations. Peruna cures catarrh wher
ever located.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of 1’eru
na, write at once to Dr. Hartman,
giving a full statement of yonr case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

these wise and prudent Sisters have
found l’eruna a never-failing safeguard.
Dr. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from till over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution in
I Detroit, Mich., reads as follovys:
Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir: -“The young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from laryn
gitis, and loss of voice. The result of
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and after
farther use of the medicine we hope to
be able to say she is entirely cured. ”
Sisters of Charity.
This young girl was under the eareof
the Sisters of Charity and used l’eruna
for catarrh of the throat, with good re
sults as the above letter testifies.
From a Catholic institution in Cen
tral Ohio comes the following recom
mend from the Sister Superior:
