It interfered w ith niy vocation as a preacher, attacking mo occa:-; nally in the pnlpit. “I bad beard so much about Pcruna as a catarrh remedy that I determined to try it.

For two years Hr. Hartman and his assistants have incessantly labored to create Peruna in tablet form, and their strenuouslaborshave just been crowned with success.

With the drag in the road at the front gate, lie quits a little early at noon or in the evening, as the condition of the road soil decides, hitches to the drag and renews his boulevard. It becomes merely a chore. A neighbor of mine says, “After a fel low once gets into the fashion of drag ging it sticks to him like a bad habit.” For myself, 1 have lrt?en riding a drag since the spring of 1800. In the fall I can take a team from a corn wagon at the crib and drag my half mile stretch before the corn is un loaded, and in the winter months most farmers can l !, i 1 an abundance of lei sure in which to drag, and the operation possibly i of as much benefit in the white: ; k is in the summer. In this i latitude (near the Missouri-Iowa line) ; we lind i vo conditions of the road in j winter when dragging is remarkably effective. One of these special condi tions is when a rough and frozen road is thawed an inch or more in depth at about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Another fovorable opportunity is at the close < a warm spell when the wind change' to the north and the mud begins to stiffen with the chill. If the mud is dragged just before a ; freeze the road of course remains | smooth until another thaw, and the difference between such a i one which was permitted to “freeze up | ' rough” is as marked as the difference j | between deep mud and a dry road. 1 i On the olie you can skim along at any I published statement he tells of begin ning his work in deep mud. In two months he had a half mile of road of which he said: “I can hardly Isdieve my own eyes when I look at it. A loaded wagon won't make any more impression on it than it would on a floor. I don't believe I have spent a if a day on it altogether, and. bou- I wouldn’t near take ?50 for the it has been to me and my tbaf^Bpd neighbors.” You will note about TMbU's estimate of benefit is A com^kgaiPe. which show^fe.. was recently mad* many counties Minnesota that a^fcf r(>ui the new system w much lienetit as sever a' iars spent the old way accept such conclusions, ye ures bear investigation and ana^M 1 ®' SHME WELL IN NTTLE TO MIX. LIKE A ROMAN ROAD. How a Chicago Millionaire Uses Rocks on His New Hampshire Farm. J. (Ressner, the Chicago millionaire, who has made his summer home in Bethlehem, X. H., for the last twenty- four years, is rapidly attaining fame as a road builder, says a Bethlehem correspondent of the Chicago Record Herald. He is now able to show thm< miles of probably the finest road in tin* White mountain^ all within or adjoin ing his own estate and all public road, although it was all built or built over by Mr. Glessner at his own expense. During the late autumn he had con structed a half mile of road on the main highway from Bethlehem to Lit tleton and during most of that time had a crew of seventy men. tbirt. horses and twenty oxen engaged on the work. Part of this road looks like pictures of the modern French or tin- old Roman roads, an*? it is built fully as solidly as the Roman roads used to be—Up fact, after the same plan. The most important work done on the Littleton-itcthiehem road by Mr. Glessner this year has been an ex tensive till of quite a stretch of ro:> | over some lowland where bad travel ing had generally been the rule. At ihe lowest place the road was filled in six feet with stone, and the stone wail on each side uas carried three feet higher, the wall in places beinx ten feet higher on the back side. <*i HOW TO PREPARE A MIXTURE TO CORE RHEUMATISM.
