Make UD Your List.

A good way for the dairy farmer, or
indeed any other farmer to do, is to
make up list about this time for his
yearly reading. In the newspaper line
any Intelligent farmer needs good
standard agricultural journal that
treats of general farm topics. Then
whichever way his speciality runs,
either in dairying, beef-raising, hor-
ticulture, tobacco or any other special
ty, he certainly needs a journal es-
pecidLLy devoted to that interest. Such
a paper is always on the lookout for
valuable knowledge in that branch,
and so knows how to silt out the false
and save the true. Then besides these
papers, the farmer needs his outside
political paper and his local paper.
These with a magazine or two will
give him a good variety in the line OF
wants, and will not cost him to exceed
$40 dollars year. A great many far
mers say that they have no time to
read. That is just the reason they do
not, as a rule, succeed better. The
man who reads is apt to be thinker.
The man who don't read may be hard
worker. but he is also apt to have a
weak head, for he don't think enough.
A look over the country will convince
any man that the most successful
farmers are almost invariably the
most intelligent ones; and you might
as well think of running a steam en-
CINE without water and fuel. as TO
make a man intelligent who don't
read.
Now is a good time to begin to make
up your list, and we hope you will
include HoARD's DAIRYMAN. Hon.
Hiram Smith of Sheboygan Falls, Wis,
who keeps 100 cows on 200 acres of
land and makes more clear money per
acre and per dollar invested than one
dairyman in twenty, says he could not
afford to be without Hoard's Dsiryman.
So say hundreds of dairy farmers all
over the land. From what is kown of |
the paper and the work it has done,
we are convinced that it will richly |
repay every farmer in our county to
club with us and get the Dairyman for
another year. Remember the Dairy
man is weekly paper and is offered
with the JOURNAL for S2.25, which |
includes both papers. Send for sample
copies.

What True Merit Win Do.


The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup within a few years,
has astOnished the world. 1t is with
out doubt the safest and best remedy
ever discovered for the speedy and
effectual cure of Coughs, Colds and
the severest Lung troubles. 1t acts
on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescriptions given by
Physicians. as it does not dry up a
Cough and leave the desease still in
the system. but on the contrary re
moves the cause of the trouble, heals
the part affected and leaves them in a
purely healthy condition. A bottle
kept in the house for use when the
diseases make their appearance, will
save doctors bills and long spell of
serious illness. A trial will convince
you of these facts. 1t is positively
sold by all druggists and general
dealers in the land. Price, rs cts,
