We raise most all kinds of grain and vege-

best markets. Our produce brings a better
price at Joplin. Webb City, Carthage, and Pitts

timber to supply the demands Of the country.
Land ranges from $l5 to so per acre, according

very good, except late sowing, and think the
yield will be as good as last year. We have
some of the finest Touring mills in the State.
They are situated on Spring River, and con-

THE GERM THEORY

IS THE THEORY, THAT ALL ENDEMIC,
EPIDEMIC, AND CONTAGIOUS DIS
EASES, are produced by minute injecting
germs or microbes, peculiar to each dis
ease, which enter the system as mentioned
in our Treatise, page IL, under the heading
WHAT IS BLOOD PoIsoN?" Recent ex-
periments show this to be fact, and that
the true way to rid the system of disease
is to force out these microbes or germs
through the pores of the skin. G g G
does this in the most effectual WV
manner, by changing the character of the
blood, so that the poisonous germs cannot
exist in it; they are, therefore, forced out.
s. s. s. not only forces out the microbes,
but also the poison ~ both coming out
through the pores Of the skin, or if there
should be sore or ulcer the poison comes
out through it. S,S,S, is entirely vege-
table, is absolutely harmless, and builds up
the general health, instead Of depicting, as Is
the case with mercury and potash mixtures.

the summary is:
That the average cow will eat about IS pound:

peas, clover and corn. fed green in the stable in
Midsummer, will give more milk than when
feeding on good bluegrass pasture; that q
COW fed on q green feed in a stable darkened
and ventilated will gain in weight more than
she will In a weil-shaded pasture; that the COW
responds as promptly to we'll balanced ration
of grain while eating green feed as she does on
dry feed.
An acre of peas cut green weighed 1876 tons
an acre Of peas and oats cut green weighed 81
tons; an acre of corn cut green weighed 1856
tons; the second cut of clover in 4 drouth was
