to every farmer in the land to know,
says an exchanges: Sprinkle stone

be twice during the season, wash out
the tank and repeat the dose, 1t is
cheap, not only harmless but whole
some, keeps the water sweet and saves

The newspaper business does not
change any. Horace Greeley, when
editor of the Tribune, said: 1t is
strange how closely the men read the
papers. We never say anything that
anybody don't like but we soon hear

ed to us, but never. apparently, do we
get any credit for what good we do
