One of the neatest things of the
kind we have seen is the following
compliment, which the Fort Dodge

thing of beauty is JOY forever and
it holds true of The Gazette. 1t is
printed on clear, white paper, the
type work is excellent, and it is a
real pleasure to look upon its clean
and inviting pages. This, however,
is merely the outside dress-the
husks that cover or contain real solid
kernels of sound advice and reliable
information to every reader. 1t is
filling long-felt and much-realized

periodicals. A month from one
paper to another in this age of tele-
phone, lightning and steam, is more
than this nervous, pushing age will
consent to, and Mr.. Sanders has very
shrewdly hit the nail on the head by
giving us live and reliable weekly
| journal on livestock matters. We
do not know how we could confer
a greater favor on any stock. raiser in
this country than to urge and per-
suade him to take The Breeders
Gazette, the best livestock journal
in the nation"
