This successful medicine is a carefully-prepared 
extract of the best remedies of the vegetable 
kingdom known to medical science as Alteratives 
Blood Purifiers, Diuretics, and Tonics, such as 
Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock, Stillingia, Dandelion, 
Juniper Berries, Mandrake, Wild Cherry Bark 
and other selected roots, harks and herbs. A 
tnediciue, like anything else, can be fairly judged 
only by its results. We point with satisfaction to 
the glorious record Hood’s Sarsaparilla has en¬ 
tered for itself upon the hearts of thousands ot 
people who have personally or indirectly been 
relieved of terrible suffering which all other 
remedies failed to reach. Sold by all druggists.

Dear Uncle Mark: I am much interested 
in the Horticultural Club, and want to do 
what little I can to make it interesting to 
others. I have had good luck raising potatoes 
from the seed. I planted the seed in a little 
box, and when the plants were about three 
inches high, I transplanted them. I had 14 of 
them, and among the rest I found one that 
was white with a red end. Some of them were 
white with red spots the si of a pin-head aP 
over. Some had deep eyes, aud on some you 
could hardly see the eyes. Uncle Mark, if you 
would like one of my little potatoes, I will 
send you one. Pa bought a packet of squash 
seed last Summer, and among them was one 
seed different from the others, aud I took it 
aud planted it by itself. I got two squashes 
that weighed 77 pounds. The smallest weighed 
82 pounds, aud the other weigh • 1 45. If any 
of the Cousins would like to try > grow them, 
aud will send me their address. I will send

Dear Uncle Mark: I have not written lor 
so long, that I think it is fully time to write 
this letter, if I wish to continue a member of 
the Y. H. C. Last Spring, the 18th of May, 
my little brother and I planted a few jjeanuts; 
they came up within todays, and 1 ravers, mi 
brother, had three vines aud I had two. We 
dug them in the early Fall as soon as the frost 
had sufficiently killed the vines. U pon count¬ 
ing the peanuts, we fouud that they averaged 
50°to each vine, as Travers had 150 peanuts 
from his three vines, aud 1 bad 100 from my 
two vines,’ We dried aud roasted a few, and 
they were very good. In my garden last 
Summer, I raised radishes, lettuce, salsify, red 
peppers, and a tew carrots and onions that did 
not amount to anything. I also had seveial 
short rows of sweet peas which were beautiful.

BEST SELLING TOOL ON EARTH, 
Dear Uncle Mark: f am a farmer boy 
way out in the State of Minnesota in the 
county of Nicollet. It is situated in the south¬ 
ern part of the State, so we are no near neigh¬ 
bors to peter bears. Our county is very little 
wooded, but it is level and fruit-bearing. The 
inhabitants consist of English. Scandinavians, 
Germans, etc., in our town they are nearly all 
Scandinavians, and so you see that am a 
Swede, though I was corn iu America. I re¬ 
ceived the R ural for the first time J an 1 lary 2. 
and I like it very much. It was the bes paper 
I ever read. 11 has been rather a <lry 8u iumer 
here. We had no snow until the last days in 
December it fell little, and to-day it is a kind 
of snow storm. Your nephew,

Dear Uncle Mark: i have tuougnu a

father gave her a piece of ground for a garden

and she ought to love him with all her heart, 
[ guess she does. When I was a little boy my 
mother gave me a piece of ground for a gar¬ 
den, aud made me very happy. I am always 
happy now when 1 think of it. 1 loved inv
