The main reason why many farmers
do not have sufficient working capital
and proper tools with which to profit
ably conduct their business is that
they do not take proper care OF their
farm machinery. BY going a short
distance from our door we can see a
disc harrow and plow standing in the
field where last used. Carriages also
can be seen out OF doors, while on
many farms the wagons stand in the
door-yard the year round when not In
use. This isn't business farming. Why
can rot farmers learn to keep such
things and the woodpiIe out OF the
door-yard and have o neat lawn IN
stead? Surely the good wife deserves
q tidy lawn about the house, and how
much more pleasant home would be.
Farmers. do you think It is right te
clutter up the yard with wagons
wood-piles and other articles too nu
merous to mention? | do not. Ths
door-yard is no place for such things
Well. to-do city folks usually have
nice green lawn about their homes
Then why should not farmers hav,
| beautiful home surrou ndings? Ther'
is land enough. q. Z. Perkins, Saco, Me

Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar to
itself, in strictly medicinal sense, in
three important particulars, viz:
first. in the combination of remedial
agents used; second. in the proportion
in which they are mixed; third, in
the process by which the active cura-
tive properties of the preparation are
secured. These three important
points make Hoods Sarsaparilla
peculiar in its medicinal merit, as it
accomplishes cures hitherto unknown.
But it is not what we say but what
Hoods Sarsapalilla does, that tells
the story. What Hoods Sarsaparilla
has done for others is reason for con-
fidence that it is the medicine for you.

Western farmers find that individual
attempts at fighting the Russian thistle
avail nothing. because the plague grows
again faster than the individual farmer
can find time to hoe 1t down; so they all
unite as often as convenient to have
"hoeing bees" in designated localities.
The details of operations are settled by
the town councils, every one in the
neighborhood takes a day OFF to fight
thistles, and In this way it is possible
20 make at least some stand against
the persevering plague, and to keep
some sections fairly free for other than
thistle crops.
