A BRAYE COLONEL .< Recommends Pe-ru-na as a Family Medicine, A Scientific Spring Medicine. Colonel Arthur L.

Colonel Hamilton, of Columbus, O. demonstrated in my family, I have a number of friends who have taken it for catarrh and stomach trouble, and all unite in praising1 it. As a remedy for catarrh I can fully recommend it.” Mrs. Hamilton, wifeof the gallant Colonel, is an ardent friend of Pe*ru-na also. In a letteronthe subject she writes: “I have been taking Pe-ru-na for some time, and I am enjoying better health now than I have for years. I attribute the change in my health to Pe-ru-na, and recom- '■ mend this excellent catarrh remedy to every \yoman, believing it to be especially beneficial to them.” The spring-time is the most favorable « time of the year to.treat catarrh. There Is so much less liability to take fresh

Plow the Soil De ep and Tho*on*hly and Apply Hanure That I* ;Even * y Rotted. It is essential that the soil of the garden be rich tie have early crops and tender vegetable s. It should be a loem and be well drained so that it will dry out readily i warm up early and be easily prepared in good time for the reception of the seed. If a quick germination of the seed is secured the soil tuusit be in a good tilth so that the seed will come in close contact, as with all feeds a certain amount of heat and me situ re are essential to germination am contact with the soil is neeessary if s good growth is to be maintained; Plow deep and thorough and then work into a good tilth. When manure is applied, haw it thoroughly rotted and fine and then incorporate well with the soil. , Applying fretu coarse manure is inadvisable, because it increases the labor of preparing the soil in a good tilth, it eon tains more or less weed and grass seed tha : make the work of cultivation more difficult, and the plant food not being in an available 'condition, cannot be used by the growing plants. Bather than use coarse, fresh manure, it will be better to purchase

oiiu use Wood ashes i nd^poultry manure can nearly always be used to a good advantage in the garden, especially as a top dressing, a fid with some crops, like radishes and lettuce, rottefl chip manure from the wood pile can be used to an advantage. When either of these is used a good plan is to prepare the soil in a good condition for the reception of the setd and then apply these as a top dressing, working well into the surface with a good garden rake. Poultry manure being a concentrated fertilizer, shovld be applied carefully, as too much . ill burn the plants and prove detrime tal. Some crops like onions, lettuce, radishes, beets awl the early varieties of peas, may be sown as soon as the soil in the gaiden will work readily I into a good t: th, then later plantings can be made c n through the season.-— National Hum I. Money Value of Clean linen*. Prof. W. J. Fraser, of the Illinois station, says: Milk, as ordinarily produced, sells a : six cents a quart, while milk so carefully handled that it ia known to be free from dirt and disease germs sells at from eight to twelve cents per quirt. To produce really clean milk requires great care. Some experiments . fere made at the Illinois station with sterile plates exposed for half a minut f in various places. The following collections resulted: Dust from fodder, il 53; dust from corn meal, 5; dust from I (rushed cows, 869; under unwashed udtler, 2,023; under washed udder, 90.

SOME SEASONABLE POEMS. 1 A Tree April FooL. The nicest man in all the town Was old, good-natured Deacon Brown. In making others happy he Devoted lots of energy. And so when April first ;begun % He said: "I'll give the hoys some fun.** \ With childlike innocence displayed Along the Btreet he sweetly strayed. Each sidewalk hat that covered bricks Received from him some festive kicks. And though It hurt his corns, he smiled As gayly as the boys beguiled. At every wallet on a string He fiercely grabbed, and when the thing Flashed out of sight, with joy intense He Joined the roar at his expense.Each bogus bundlo In his way He carried off till his array Of bundles fooled the women who Thought he had been a-shopping. too. In sweet simplicity he stood Before store windows so the good Small boys might pin his coat with tails And chalk his spacious back, "For Sates,” “This Flat to Det,” and “April Fool," In letters they had learned at school. He burned his fingers with hot cents And, spite of all his corpulence. He stooped to pick up coins nailed down In fact such fun he gave the town That a procession all a-grln Followed to see him taken In. When he went home and turned about He made the little Brownies shout With merry laughter at the show Which he pretended not to know. And though his wife thought him insane He let the tails and signs remain. At supper time he bravely dined On soap and cotton pies designed By loving tots to fool their dad. Who never in his life was mad. And his wry faces at each bite Hade so much,mirth and wild delight That Mrs. Brown and baby sweet Got laughing so they couldn’t eat. ** Hoo-ray!” thought Deacon Brown, alone, " Such fun before I’ve never known. I*ve made it pleasant for the boys. I’ve filled my homo with mirthful Joys, And when the children fly a kite The tails I got will do It right. I’ve fooled the foolers so, they thought That I and not themselves were caught, And, ha, ha, ha! they laughed at me. But 1 laughed more at them you see," And then the good man closed his eyes To dream of angels In the skies. —H. C. Dodge, in Chicago Daily Sun. An Easter Patriot.
