TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
Ill the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head.

Gents Upon the recommended

IRON BITTKRS as a tonic and re-
storative for my daughter, whom
I was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away with Consumption.
Having lost three daughters by the
terrible disease, under the care Of
eminent physicians, was 10th to
believe that anything could arrest
the progress of the disease, but, to
my great surprise, before my daugh-
ter had taken one bottle of BRowN's
IRON BITTERs, she began TO mend
and now is quite restored to former
health. A fifth daughter began to
show signs of Consumption, and
when the physician was consulted
be quickly said "Tonics were re-
quired :" and when informed that
the elder sister was taking BRowN's

A Good Farmer.

D. Cleveland, Madison. No.,
writes to the Mirror: According
to my idea good farmer must
combine the Judgment of many diff
ferent vocations !; he must be good
financier, on a small scale to be
sure, but still a good one also q
good manager of labor, must CON-
bine the judgment of the grazier,
the butcher, the gardener, and the
merchant he must also have that
judgement about the condition OF
land and crops for which there is
no written rule, and which only
careful observation gives, and IN
addition to all this he must
have that quality for which
there is no name, but which
generally adapts means to
ends, and accomplishes things
which knows when to finish one
thing at time is the best, and
when to leave that thing and do
something else which needs doing
more-the faculty which keeps his
whole business together.
The Judgment is the farmers
first and greatest need, it is the
high court that must pass upon all
that is brought before it. The
only man whose success is hope
less, and who will never acquire it,
IS he who thinks he knows it all in
he beginning.

A well-known real estate broker
in New York City said recently to
a Tribune reporter: "In half a
lifetime spent in real estate, l have
never seen so much property in
the market. Our books are liter
ally overloaded. 1t is alike in for
sales or tor rents. The tenden
cy of prices is downward. They
must come down. Sales are very
slow. Owners are holding on at
old prices, but buyers will not
touch property at rates offered.
Rents of big houses and high
priced flats must come down, or
there will be vacancies by the
hundred. Medium priced houses
and fats will hold their own for
the present in rents. 1t is the
only property for which there-is
any demand just now. To show
you the extent oil the glut, we have
over $50 houses for sale, 81 houses
to rent furnished, 100 boarding
houses in which there are accom-
modatIoas, over So houses in
which there are furnished rooms
to rent. .-

A Warning.

When the people of the South
wake up they will begin to kuklux
the turpeatine gathefers, who are
destroying millions oitrees, which
will be worth billions of money
before men who are now living
die. All the minerals Of the
South combined have not as great
prospective value. as her fine tim

gallon or two OF tnrpentine for
each tree. Much the same thing
was doRe In Ohio, Indiana and
Kentucky. The walaut timber
that was made into fence rails and
6rewood, II it had been protected
thirty years ago, would to day
sell for three times as much as the
entire farms, and improvements.
Many an old curled, knotty tree
that was burned in the log-pile
would sell readily at IRON saso to
S5oa delivered in market to-day.

A fellow named Dawley, liv-
ing near Stockton, Cal, has gone
into the squirrel exterminating
business by the wholesale, for the
bounty of FIVE cents a head offered
by the State for dead squirrels,
He employs four men in different
districts. Farmers pay the men
81 day and board for gong over
their ranches. That nearly pays
expenses, and the bounty on
scaIps is largely profit. Dawley
has a poison that knocks the squir-
rels out the first round, and gen
orally before they can get into
their holes. He says he has scalps
enough on hand to clean out the
squirrel and gopher bounty fund.
He presents his scalps only as tsst
as there is money to pay the
bounty. He has $4,000 worth OF
scalps awaiting an increase in the
fund.

The Farmers Position.
Texas Farm and Ranch.

Texas Farm and Ranch.
= We have often endeavored to
impress upon the farmer the i'm
portant position he occupies In the
worlds economy, and to point out
to him his great power. He it is
who is the foundation of the CON-
mercial structure and on his pros
perity and adversely depends the
prosperity or adversely of every
branch of business. He is the pow
er behind the throne which is
greater than the throne itself, but
when we come to view tho exercise
of power of such an important fac
tor in shaping the course of COM
mercial or political affairs, wc find
that the farmer has relegated his
power to hands of professional
men and those following other avo-
cations,
Look at those who go to fill pub
lie offices and you can not find one
per cent of them practical farmers.
Why is this? The reason is obvi-
GUS. The farmer admits that in
point of intellectual culture he is
inferior, and therefore, takes a
stand in the rear, But the time is
coming when the farmer, recognize
ing the immense interests involved
in his occupation, will see that his
family is educated to a place with
that of the merchant and profess
sional man, and that he will sub.
serve his own iatsrest best by
looking after them himself.
Men who hoe'and reap are not
inferior in intelligence to the ma
jority Of their fellows, but their
advantages of EDUCATION and cul-
ture are, owing to their isalated
positions, not so great, 1t there
fore behOoyes our farmers to advo-
cate every measure tending to the
spread of education and multiply
ing of schools, for only by taking
advantage, of their means may
they ever hope to attain their
true positions. Foster education,
promote school facilities, do not
be niggardly about spending money
for the education of your children
and you will have your reward in
seeing your sons and daughters
climb the social ladder to the posi-
ton their attainments and capa-
bilities Justify.
