THE season of catching cold is upon us. The cough and the sneeze and nasal twang are to be heard on every hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the most common and dreadful of diseases, is a cold. This is the way the chronic catarrh generally begins. A person catches cold, which hangs on longer than usual. The cold generally starts in the head and throat. Then follows sensitiveness of the air passages which incline one to catch cold very easily. At last the person has a cold all the while seemingly, more or less discharge from the nose, hawking, spitting, frequent clearingof the throat, nostrils stopped up, full feeling in the head and sore, inflamed throat. The best time to treat catarrh is at the very beginning. A bottle of Peruna properly used never fails to cure a com mon cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh. While many people have been cured of chronic catarrh by a single bottle of Peruna, yet, as a rule, when the catarrh becomes thoroughly fixed, more than one bottle is necessary to complete a cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer able of catarrh of twenty years'stand ing. It is the best, if not the only internal remedy for chronic catarrh in existence. Butprevention is far better than cure. Every person subject to catching cold should take Peruna at once at the slightest symptom of cold or sore throat at this season of the year and thus prevent what is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh. MEXICAN Mustang Liniment he&ls Old Sores quickly. FOR THIRTY YEARS Congressman Meekison Suffered With Catarrh—Read His Endorsement of Pe-ru-na. CONGRESSMAN MEEKISON. OP OHIO. Hon. David Meekison is well known, not only in his own State but through out America. He began his political career by serving four consecutive terras as Mayor of the town in which he lives, during which time he became widely known as the founder of the Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large majority, and is the acknowledged leader of his party in his section of the State. Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete succcss of this rising states man. Catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was his only unconquered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Peruna came to the rcscue, and he dictated the follow ing letter to Dr. Hartman as the result: have'used several bottles of Peruna and I feel greatly benefited thereby from my catarrh of the head. feeI encouraged to believe that If I use It a short 41 me longer I will be fully able to eradicate the disease of thirty years' standing.''—Da vld Meekison, ex-Member of Congress. Mrs. A. Snedeker, Cartersville, Ga., writes: "I saw that your catarrh remedy, P-eruna, was doingothers so much good, that I thought I would try it and see what it would do for me. My case is an old one and I have none a to because I have had the disease so long that 1 had none of the aches and pains, but a general rundown conditon of the whole body—sore nose and throat and stomach. I had a good appetite bnt my food did not nourish my system. I had come down from 140 to about 75 pounds in weight. I now feel that I am well of all my troubles."—Mrs. A. Snedeker.

Oregon Inventor's Device tor Mkklas the Slost Fractions Animal Gentle as a. Lamb. So many sermons have been preached already on the wonderful in telligence and obedience of the horse that there is no need of another one in this column, but we may mention one proof of that obedience in the at titude the animal maintains toward the blacksmith while the later tears off an old shoe, trims the horny hoof, holds a hot iron shoe against the foot to ascertain If its shape is correct, and finally nails the shoe fast to the foot with many blows of the hammer. It is surprising to*1hink that so spir ited an animal will submit to such CONTROLS THE ANIMAL., treatment without some show of re sistance' as it is improbable to sup pose they understand the benefits of the shoe in preventing rapid wearing away of the hoof. Once in awhile the blacksmith in his labors come3 in con tact with a horse which refuses to yield to his command, showing a mul ish disposition and occasioning no small amount of trouble. Then the shoer uses ingenuity, persuasion and finally strength to accomplish his pur pose. It is-an animal of this kind which the artist has drawn in the il lustration, and the horse seems to be at a slight disadvantage in fact, to have met his Waterloo—that's where the inventor lives, by the way. Here-1 after when a steed shows contrariness: the blacksmith will simply put his feet in the stocks. How will he get them there? Well, possibly by the same re cipe as the circus man trains his tiger. The first rule run3 something like this: "First catch your tiger.'' So, you first catch a leg, possibly with a rope noose, and, after making it fast, proceed in the same manner with the other leg. Then hoist the tackle until a large portion of the weight is re moved from the hind .egs and the ani mal is ready to be shod.—Louisville ''ourier-Journal. RECEIVE GOOD PAY. Cattle Bayers (or the Bl'ar Packing Honiei May Well Be Termed KIb(i of the Stock Yards. Some of the cattle buyers of the big slaughter houses receive as salaries from $10,000 to $15,000 per year, and some, it is said, as high as $25,000 per year. The cattle buyer cannot hope to command such a salary at one jump, re marks our sprightly little contempo rary, the Arizona Cattleman. He must advance gradually and demonstrate that he is earning his money each day. A iaily account and record itltept with him. He buys a bunch of steers, they are slaughtered, and he is furEished each lay with a report showing just what they cost his company net. If he pays too much, they are dear, and he must 2xpl3in the whys and wherefores. Many mistakes and bad judgment are not necensary before he is advised that his services are dispensed with. He must be able to judge the amount on the hoof, know what it will kill out, and that he made the purchase at the lowest price and with a good profit to the company. He cannot equal up, his purchases for day make a bargain on one bunch and pay too much for the other. The system Is coinpfllle and exacting each purchase must speak for itself—each tub must stand on its own bottom.—Midland Parmer. Voney In Horse Breeding. Horse breeding, when judiciously car ried on, has always been and is likely to be a reasonably profitable business for the American farmer. The great ianger In the business is th?t at the present time, owing to the fact that norses are scarce, the horse of no par ticular breed or class is commanding a fair price, and naany farmers are led to regard a horse of this kind a* a profita ble animal to produce. Such horses should not be bred, because, ?ven when the greatest care and precaul ion possi ble are taken in breeding for definite types, there will always be a large num ber of the so-called misfits, which are the first class of horses to be affected by overproduction or any other thing that is likely to cause a depression in the market—Rural World. Dancer In Over-Ripe Clover. It has been found that clover 'cut just after the blossoms are well devel oped and before the seed forms is not dangerous. If, however, it becomes too mature part of the blossom heads be come indigestible and ^eiult in inflam mation of the animal'd stomach and frequently in death. This is a strong reason why clover should be cut at the right time.—Orange Judd Farmer. It is a prudent farmer whd is not prodigal after a rich harvest. 1 ,r r, ANlMALg NEED. SALT. Farm' Stoelc, Which Is BerblvOMM, Should Be Salted Regularly to Insure Good Health. Pfof. Shepperd, of North Dakota, has been collecting data concerning the much discussed question of whether salt is essential to the health of farm animals. The following are some of the facts he has obtained: Carniverous animals do not use salt, the reason being that they eat the blood with the food and the blood con tains the amount of salt necessary for the system. The Esquimaux of Greenland do not use salt because they live mostly on seals and carefully plug up the wound when a seal is killed so as to prevent the loss of blood. The blood contains more salt than any other part of the body. Among the North American Indians the hunting and fishing tribes did not use salt, and for the same reason, while the Indians practicing agricul ture along the Mississippi and in Mex ico were salt consumers and fought for the possession of the salt springs. Herbivorous animals universally re quire salt and will travel long dis tances for it. The reason, according to Prof. Shepperd, is that the cereals and legumes upon which these animals live contain very little salt, but a large proportion of potash. Potash, or" more properly speaking, the salts or com binations of potash, drive out the sodium chloride, or common salt, through the kidneys, and hence an ad dition of common salt must be given to supply the lack of it in the food. Blood, flesh and milk contain but lit tle of these potash salts, hence th» small need of salt when animals sub sist on either of 'th£ aboVe. Men and animals living largely on rice as a substitute for potatoes use comparatively little salt, the reason being that rice contains but little of the salts of potash, and, therefore, there is not a demand among rice eat ers for common salt. Potatoes are very rich in potash, and hence potato eaters always want common salt, the potash having a tendency to drive the small amount of common salt in potatoes out of the system, and hence a surplus must be given. This is an important suggestion to our readers who have kidney trouble and who would likely be relieved considerably if they were to abandon the use of potatoes and substitute rice. The conclusion drawn is that all animals that live on grains and grasses should be regularly salted Salt given in excess acts as a sort of poison, creating violent purging, but given in small quantities is helpful to all men who do not live on a flesh diet and to all herbivorous animals. BUTCHERING DEVICE. Home-Made Frame (or Hanging Hoar* That la Highly Recommended by an Ohio Farmer. Plant a large post so that it will be about six feet high. Fasten a long pole on the top of this so that it may move up and down as a lever, and al3o can swing around in a circle. Make HANDY HOG HANGER, the pole 24 feet long let the heavier end be eight feet long, with a stout iron hook on the end the long end is to have a rope about eight feet long attached to the end. With this you can pick up a hog, dip it in the scalding tub, lay it on the scraping platform, and lastly, hang It up for taking out the entrails. The illustra tion makes it plain. Any number of hogs may be hung by arranging the hangers in a circle in reach of the lever.—H. Cochran, in Ohio Farmer. THE SCIENCE OF FEEDING. Linseed meal is best for milk cotton seed meal if you make butter. Moldy fetalks may do for beef steers, but they spoil the milk if fed to milch cows. Feed is more expensive than care, yet you are continually giving more of it. Add a liberal allowance of intelligent care to your general rations and note the results. Feed the dairy cow in proportion not alone to her present production, but with an eye to her actual capacity and feel satisfied with nothing less than her best work.—Farm and Home. A Condiment (or Swln*. Theodore Louis, of Wisconsin, recom mends the following for swine confined and heavily fed: "Take six bushels of corn-cob charcoal, or three 'oashels of common charcoal, eight pounds of salt, two quarts of air-slaked lime, one bushel of wood ashes break the charcoal well down with shovel or other implement, and thqroughly mix. Then take one and a quarter pounds of copperas and dissolve in hot water, and with an or dinary watering pot sprinkle over the whole mass, and then again mix thor oughly. Put this mixture into the self feeding boxes, and place where hogs of all ages can eat of their contents at pleasure." Grain (or Yonn* Lanhs. Lambs should have grain from the time they are ten weeks old until the next spring, if they should grow to their limit. This is not the usual prac tice among sheep breeders, and yet many have become convinced that this is the correct way to manage lambs. A lamb that does not lea« to eat when it is young will fool away a great deal of time learning after it is required that it be making steady growth.—Midi an Farmer. Three-Doctora' Opinions.
