Mr. A. R Wilton,
LaFolIette, Tenn.
The letter written a short time ago
tby Mr. A. R. Wilson of LaFolIette,
Tenn., brings some more direct evi-
dence of the value of Pe-ru-na in the
treatment of catarrhal diseases.
It reads as follows'"While attend-
ing Billy Sunday’s great revival at
Knoxville, Tenn., last February I con-
tracted a cold which weakened my en-
tire system. I have taken only three
bottles of Pe-ru.na and feel like a
■new man. It is a great system builder
.as well as a great catarrh remedy.”
To attempt to even estimate the
thousands who, in the last half cen-
tury, have come to know and appre-
ciate the merits of Pe-ru-na would be
worte than useless. The number is
.astonishing and increasing daily.
Your nearest dealer has Pe-ru-na
;li both tablet and liquid form. Insist
upon having Pe-ru-na, the original
.treatment for catarrh.

(Prspsred br the United Ststee Department
of Agriculture.)
Many farmers In central Indiana are
making good on 80-acre farms, any rep-
resentatives of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture who have re-
cently completed a study of smnll
farms In that region. Farms lurger
than 80 acres otter greater opportuni-
ties for profit to capable managers,
but the fact that 80-ucre farms are
numerous In central Indiana prompted
farm management experts In the de-
partment to inquire wbat conditions
are necessary to success on farms of
that size.
Crop Rotation Systems.
They found that In general the more
successful 80-acre furmers have defi-
nite crop rotation systems of corn,
small grain, and clover and timothy.
They Increase their corn acreage
whenever that Is practicable. Over a
series of years, yields as high as 50
bushels of corn, 45 bushels of oats, 80
bushels of wheat, and 1.5 tons of hay
per acre have been obtained on the
more successful farms. Profitable 80-
acre farms are those on which com-
paratively high standards of organiza-
tion and management are maintained.
Usually these farms have from three
to five cows, with enough young cattle
to maintain the herds. In most cases
there are from 5 to 8 brood sows,
raising from 60 to 70 pigs a year.
Commonly the furms have three work
animals and about 100 hens. Though
the farmers have enough machinery
to work their land efficiently, they do
not Invest In more equipment than
can be put to economical use.
The labor requirements on these
sized farms are such that the farmers
themselves are able to do most of the
work, with help from their families In
doing chores. In rush periods the
families help in field work, or help Is
hired. Family labor or hired labor,
on the average, Is employed to the
equivalent of from two to four months
of man labor n year. Farmers operat-
ing on these lines often have comfort-
able homes with modern conveniences,
and are nble to give their children
good educational opportunities.
Some of the neighbors of these suc-
cessful farmers were not getting good
returns from their land and la*
bor. High crop yields did not nlwnys
Insure success. While all i.ie more
successful forms had crop yields abote
the overage, many furms with crop
yields above the average were unsuc-
cessful because the crops were not
efficiently marketed through live
stock.
Stock to Consume Crops.
The 80-ncre form In central Indiana
that is profitable over a period of
years usually lias enough live stock to
consume all the corn grown on It. and
some purchased corn. Four successful
farms for which records were ob-
tained for eight years had 54 per cent
more live stock than the four least
successful farms. Differences In the
returns from live stock accounted for
greater variations In the farm Incomes
thnn any other Items.
In Clinton county, for example, the
most successful 80-acre furmers raised
an average of 9.3 pigs per sow each
year, compnred with six pigs per sow
per year by the least successful farm-
ers. In both enses two litters a year
were rnlsed. On the four most success-
ful farms In Clinton county, one calf
was raised every 12 months 'or each
cow, compared with one calf every 15
months for each cow on the four least

successful farms. In proportion to thi
□umber of liens kept, twice as many
chickens were raised to sell or replace
the flocks on the four most successful
farms.
The cows on the four most success-
ful farms averaged 172 pounds of but-
terfat per cow, which Is low for good
dairy cows, as compnred with 62
pounds on the four least successful
farms. Egg production per hen on the
most successful faring wus 63 per cent
higher than on the least successful
farms.
It was also found that the most suc-
cessful 80-acre farmers pay great at-
tention to producing their own table
supplies. The value of the product!
furnished by the farm for family liv-
ing was greaer than had been realized.
On the four most successful farms In
Clinton county, for example, the farms
contributed the followin'; supplies:
Four hogs for meat, 60 chickens, 75
dozen eg;s, dairy products to the
equivalent of 100 pounds of hutterfat,
and the products of an acre of orchard
and garden.

Use Only Paper Twine in
Tying Wool for Market
Wool growers are urged by the Unit-
ed States Department of Agriculture
to use only paper twine In tying
fleeces for market. Twine made of
Jute, hemp or sisal sheds fibers that
mix with the wool and reduces the
value of the cloth made from such
wool. Some growers still persist In
using undesirable twines, and u con
slderable quantity of wool tied with
fibrous twines Is being received In the
markets, according to reports from the
Boston Wool Trade association.
It Is practically Impossible to re-
move all the twine fibers, whereas par-
ticles of paper twine can be entirely
removed in the manufacturing process.
The fibers of Jute, hemp or sisal do
not take the dye In the manufacturing
process and show up In the cloth,
thus reducing the value of the goods.
The Department of Agriculture l»
co-operating with the trade In a cam-
paign to end the use of undesirable
twine and to aid wool growers to se-
cure the desirable paper twine. Coun-
ty agricultural agents can help to Im-
press growers with the Importance of
proper tying of fleeces.
Farm Labor Shortage Is
Greatest in the South
A shortage of farm labor Is report-
ed by the United States Department
of Agriculture. The supply on April
1 was estimated by the department at
92 per cent of the demand. There
was an even greater deficiency April
1 a year ago when the supply was
but’88 per cent of the demand. The
greatest deficiency Is In the South At-
lantic stntes where the supply Is 81
per cent of the demand, followed by
the North Atlantic states with 89 per
rent, the East North Central states
with 89 per cent, and the South Cen
tral states with 92 per cent. There
Is an oversupply In the West North
Central states where the supply Is 192
per cent of the demand, und In the
Western stntes. Including the Moun-
tain and Pacific divisions, where It is
110 per cent.
To Produce Good Hatches
Correct and careful Incubation will
not produce good hutches If the stock
Is not of good vitality and given care
In advance of the hutching season
which keeps them In health. This Is
particularly true where springs »re
lute, cold and unsettled, and accounts
for most of our poor hatches.
Daddy Lion has some funny Ideas.
Perhaps they should not be called
funny. It would be better If they were
called queer.
For It Is really not funny at all that
Daddy Lion Is a poor daddy.
It Is really not funny ut all that If
Daddy Lion had the chance he would
kill his babies.
But It Is decidedly queer.
When Mother Lioness was bringing
up her cubs she took care to tilde
them away from Daddy Lion.
“He doesn’t understand children.
They make him nervous—more than
that they make him nngry.
“Why, I do not know, except he be-
longs to the cat fnmlly and the dad-
dies aren't what you might cull de-
voted.
"So for the time being I will keep
you safely hidden away until you grow
big enough for Daddy Lion to like
you.”
The little cubs were quite happy.
They didn’t miss their Daddy because
they hadn't seen him for one thing,
and for another they had all the care
and attention any little Hon cubs
could have.
Mother Lioness brought them their
food, she took great cure of them, and
If danger were near Mother Lioness
would fight with every bit of her splen-
did power for them.
Oh, Daddy Lion was a big, strong,
splendidly brave lion, but Mother Lion
ess was fierce and wild nnd even more
full of courage thnn Daddy Lion when
there wns any dnnger for her babies.
In fact, she was always afraid
there might come some (lunger and so

of her cubs.
Only to them wns she gentle nnd
loving. The outsMe world didn’t In-
terest her—and they might not trent
her darlings well, so she would at-
tnck anyone who might hurt them.
But no one cume near them, for
Mother Lioness had hidden her cubs
far away and where It wns very hard
to reach.
She hadn’t a beautiful mane such
as Daddy Lion hod hut she was a beau-
tiful lioness just the same.

ful. but to her cubs she seemed the
