Hon. George W. Honey, National
■Chaplain L'. V. IT., ex-Chaplain Fourth
Wisconsin Cavalry, ex-Treasurer State
of Wisconsin, and ex-Quartermaster
General State of Texas G. A. it., writes
from 1T00 First St., N. 12., Washington,
ID. C., as follows:
“I cannot too highly recommend your
preparation for the relief of catarrhal
iroubles In their various forms. Some
■members of my own family have used
it with most gratifying results. When
other remedies failed, Peruna proved
most efficacious and I cheerfully certi
fy to its curative excellence.”
Mr. Fred L. Ilebard, for nine years a
leading photographer of Kansas City.
Mo., located at the northeast corner of
12th and Grand Axes., cheerfully gives
the following testimony: ‘‘It is a proven
fact that Peruna will cure catarrh and
la grippe, and as a tonic it has no equal.
Druggists have tried to make me take
something else 'just as good,’ but Peru
aa is good enough for me."
Pe-ru-na in Tablet Form.
For two years Dr. Hartman and his
assistants have incessantly labored to
create Peruna in tablet form, and their

with success. People who object to

The Old Homestead.
tn the quiet shadows of twilight
I stand by the garden door,
And gaze on the old, old homestead,
So cherished and loved of yore.
But the ivy now is twining
Untrained o’er window and wall.
And no more the voice of the children j
Is echoing through the hall.
I |
Through years of pain and sorrow,
Since first I had to part,
The thought of the dear old homestead
I-las lingered around my heart.
The porch, embowered with roses,
The gable's drooping eaves,
And the song of the birds at twilight
Amid the orchard leaves.
And the forms of those who loved me
In the happy childhood years,
Appear at the dusky windows,
Through vision dimmed with tears. ,
l hear their voices calling
From the shadowy far away,
And I stretch my arms toward them.
In the gloom of the twilight gray.
i
But only the night winds answer,
As I cry through the dismal air;
And only the bat comes swooping
From the darkness of his lair.
Yet still the voice of my childhood
Is calling from far away.
And the faces of those who loved me
Smile through the shadows gray.
The Farm the Ideal Life.
The country life has always been
pictured as a strenuous one, but Bol
ton Hall, a writer for the Circle, j
describes it as an ideal place to live '
the rumple, unostentatious life worth
living, the happiest and more care- '
tree or all. He says 111 part:
The simple life does not consist in
becoming careless and slouehy, or
wearing unbecoming hats, or in alien
ating the affections of one's spouse
by making one’s self a drudge.
It. consists in natural social sur- ;
roundings, suited to cultivated tastes. !
where parents and children can live i
instead of merely making a living.
The simple country life means a!
material 'reduction in the cost of
living. I
The home itself can be less preten
tious and more commodious.
The modern American bungalow
gives the maximum of comfort and
dignity at the minimum of expense,
and is rapidly taking the place of the
ordinary suburban or country home.
Ksthetieally, the country means i
stretches of field, meadow, and wood
land, liquid bird-notes, filmy gossamer
webs in the morning, cooling dews *n
the evenings, the perfumed breath
of the blossoms and fruit, all oppor
tunity to get near to nature's heart.
From the practical viewpoint it !
means to me working in the “rich- !
blossoming elbowed earth,” tilling the
soil, producing what one eats, testing
the resources of nature first hand,
winning vigor and a clean conscience
front natural relations to the soil. It
means knowing one's human neigh
bors and wild ones, as they really
are; it means hours with one's family;
well-earned rest; to be a producer as
well as consumer and thus till ones
proper relations to mankind.
It means further a new opportunity
not only for me, but for those who
have never had a change. They have
it now. A new boom is on, the farm
land boom; a new development is be- ,
ginning, intensive agriculture; a new
discovery, the riches of the soil; a
new opening, the intelligent use of
“ihe little lands.”
The Irish (?) Potato.
The potato is a native of the Andes,
particularly of Chile and Peru, and
some writers claim that it was found
growing wild as far north as the
Toltec gorge in southern Colorado, j
It probably was first introduced into
Europe by the Spaniards about the
middle of the sixteenth century. In
1550 it was taken to England from
Virginia, where, however, it was i
probably derived from a Spanish i
source. Its progress in Europe was !
slow, its culture, even in Ireland, not
becoming general until the middle of |
ihe eighteenth century, but it is now a
staple food in most temporary
climates.
King Road Drag All Right.
Our town road does not look much
like it did three years ago this spring.
However, it always reminds me ol' the
old road because it is so different.
Then we dragged through two feet
of mud and water or took down the
fences to go through the fields. Now
the road is good most of the time and i
always passable. The King road drag j
has made a new highway for us. I j
never put in work that paid bettor '
or that gave me more pleasure than
steering the log drag over the road.
Glad to hear that they are organizing
log-drag clubs all over the country.—
J. G. Henderson.

Tribute to the Hog.
The hog occupies a conspicious
place hi the annals of (he American
farmer. The more he is studied the
more he is appreciated. And the
more ho is appreciated the more he
is cultivated. A writer in the Ne
braska Express, Mr. A. H. Kidd, pays
him the following tribute:
“Take off your hat to his lordship,
the Hog. There is none more worthy
our obeisance than he. Though of
lowly origin, he is the king of the
mighty West. Though by the inexor
able decree of fate he is doomed to a
life of confinement and self-denial,
yet he gives up his life that his
captors may wax fat and. inherit the
earth. Such an example of self
sacrifice for the public good is rarely
to be found. Sprung from a race that
was despised and reviled by all men,
yet by his innate worth and his
philanthropic deeds, he has made for
himself an honored place among the
benefactors of ihe human race. He
enters the homes of the rich and the
poor with the same lordly demeanor,
fully confident that his presence is
welcome, and his absence greatly to
be deplored.
".Men of all nations struggle with
each other for the privilege of mak
ing him his business partner, and the
man with whom he enters into busi
ness alliance is envied by his neigh
bors while he yearly adds to the size
of his bank account, and gathers in
the surrounding farm lauds. He is
the greatest mortgage lifter and the
unsurpassed happiness producer.
"Give him but a comfortable place
in which to roam, a frugal meal of
maize and slop, a bubbling spring to
quench his thirst, and he becomes at
once your truest friend in time of
adversity. Kings have been crowned,
have strutted their brief time upon
the stage, have died, been buried and
foreotten. tint his lordship, the Hog,
reigns on forever. Each year extends
i tie boundaries of bis dominion, and
strengthens the fealty of his subjects.
Cotton may be king of ihe miasmatic
regions in the South; rice may be
queen of the land of the alligator and
the moccasin snake; the gentle cow
may reign o’er ihe rolling acres of the
dreary East: the horse may lord it
over the land where the blue grass
grows and the moonshiner hides;
wheat may be king c.f the land where
the blizzards blow and the torrents
fall; but the king of the broad and
the sweeping West, the land of sun
shine and happiness, of fair women
and brave men, of peace and content
ment. of plenty and prosperity, is his
lordship, the Hog. Take off your hat
to the king. Long live the king.”
How Plants Grow.
Plants take nourishment from the
aii- through their leaves and from tho
earth through their roots. The car
bon which they take in from the at
mosphere is the principal element in
their structure. The green coloring
matter in the leaf with the assistance
of sunlight mixes this carbon with
water taken in through the roots and
transforms them into starch and sugar
for the use of the plant.
Plants cannot take solid food. They
have to drink in the mineral elements
from the soil after they have been
dissolved in water. The richest soil
will starve a plant, if there is not
sufficient moisture to dissolve the
necessary elements and carry them
into the rootlets.
These are scientific facts. What
do they mean to the practical farmer?
1. That the roots and leaves of a
plant are its mouth and stomach and
are essential to its development. Do
not injure them.
2. That plants should be given
space to insure sufficient air and sun
light.
15. That abundance of soil water
must be stored and saved for the use
of the plant.
Live Stock Industry.
The live stock industry is one of
the very great industries of this
country and will continue to be such
for centuries to come. The conditions
in this counry make the production of
stock one of the most profitable of
enterprises. Tin' lands are as yet
pay a good i>'-olit in the business of
stock producing, provided the right
kind of farming is carried ou in con
junction with the raising of the live
stock. That right kind of farming
must include the raising of a large
amount of roughage of such a character
that the farm animals will eat it en
tirely. If this roughage be corn or
some other plant rich in carbon it is
an easy way to transferring the car
bon of the air to the carcasses of the
cattle. With some stock many a
farmer can collect from the air free
carbon and sell it in the various
products that come from the animal
world.
No matter how high-priced land be
comes, the farmer cannot afford to
forego the profits that would come to
him from being able lo grow herba
ceous plants of a rank nature and
transform them into a high-priced
salable product.
“Too much hay will make a horse's
coat rough and staring and spoil his
appetite,” writes a very good friend
and a very good farmer as well, but
we differ with him. The trouble is
evidently something else, as we do
not believe a horse will eat more clean
hay than is good for him.

of feeling. If she has many things-to
worry her and is possibly planning
how to make ten cents do a dollar's
worth of good, or if she is naturally a
vixen, it will show in her face, so aft
er all it is not safe to predicate as to
what her sewing face reveals.
