brave soldiers who. forgetful of eyery-

was out he was taken seriously i'll. but
he stuck to his post until an honorable

skin and bones. and for three weeks he
lay desperately i'll in hospital. He felt
diszy, and his stomach felt as IL It had
dried up. These symptoms were accom-
panied BY bloody dysentery, which no
medicine seemed to relieve.

The editor recently heard of farmer
fattening hoge at less than one cent a
pound. This was made possible through
the sowing of Salzer's King Barley,
yielding over 100 bu. per acre, Golden
Triumph Corn. yielding 200 bu. per
acre. and the feeding on Sand Vetch,
Teostnte. Hundredfold Peas. etc. Now,
with such yields. the growing of hogs is
more profitable than silver mine.
Salzer's catalogue is full of rare
things for the farmer. gardener and cit
lien, and the editor believes that 1t
would pay everybody a hundred-fold to
get Salzer's catalogue before purchas-
ing seeds.
II you viii cut this out and ssnd 1t
with 10 cents postage to the John A.
Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis, they
will mail you their mammoth seed cata-
logue and 10 samples of grasses and
grains. including above corn and bar
ley. Catalogue alone. &c postage.
