How Bankrupt Farmer Paid His Debts.

Il owe you $500. also other people,
cant get ahead: am going into bank
rnptcy. let my property pay my creditors
out by the month";" Such was the gloomy
statement made by one of our customers.
isW years ago We were his principal
creditor. he had fair kind of a farm for
New England, but was running it in the
old-fashioned way. He had been brought
up to believe that he could buy grain
a little investigation | found that for sew
eral years he had been coming out
spring poor,''-worse Off than when he
spring. 1t didn't take me long to get at
his real trouble-his other crops didn't
sell Tor enough to pay his grain bill and
the hay he often had to buy to carry his
stock through the winter, while some of
his cows gave SO little and such poor milk
they We're eating their heads off.
! finally said: Give me mortgage on
everything you've got; to protect me
Then do as / say and We will advance
you the necessary fertilizer and pull you
out of the hole. First, as your pasture
buy hay, you must SOW SO much peas
and-oats. Then plant that ten-acre lot
on the plain with corn. Get rid OF those
poor cows, replacing them with Jersey
grades that are to caive in the fali, so
you can send as much winter cream as
possible to the creamery: You are not TO
buy dollars worth of hay. forage or
corn, but it may be well to buy iittie
cotonseed. linseed or gluten meal to bal
ance up your home grown corn and add
TO the richness of the manure.
He carried out these directions, and in
the fall had so much corn he could hard
ly store the ears, while the fodder filled
all the space there was left and was piled
deep on the half-filled hay mows. for the
hay crop was short. Some of the peas
and-oats was fed green, the rest hayed.
He had to feed out the stalks before the
hay could be reached, and that wasn't
until the middle of March! He saved all
the money he had paid for grain the win
ter before, had a lot of hay to sell a high
prices in the spring, and was able to
nearly pay what he owed me. About two
years after our talk his old debts "ere all
paid off, and he only owed small sum
for fertilizers, ensilage cutter and corn
harvester. All this was long since paid
off, he owns his farm free and clear, and
his credit is as good as gold because he
doesn't abuse it. Wasn't that better than
going into bankruptcy and sinking into
obscurity? This idea that We can buy
our feed cheaper than we can raise it, has
ruined many another New England far
mer. If our farmers will quit that plan
and follow the policy of self-support and
thrift so intelligently advocated by The
Homestead, New England agriculture
will more than hold its Own.-B. l.. Bragg

that large number of plants were
winter killed.
Mrs. S. w. Tinkham of Anson, usual

Aroostook farmers are planting a
large acreage of turnips which they

so hope to save hay. With the potato
crop considerably smaller than last

planning on giving more attention to
dairy interests.

feet high, raised on his farm in War

averaging six and a half feet.

HOME SECRETS.
Augusta Mothors Keep Them; but With Z
Little Light There Need Be None.

Did Won know that 40 per cent. of the
children of the whole world have weak
kidneys to a greater or less extent?
Mothers know 1t and there is a very
mistaken policy of saying nothing
about it," Sweet, clean, dry beds
should be and can be the resting place
by night for our little ones. Some
mothers attribute it to habit 1t is
not habit at all. Why are these
children who have this habit" thirsty
at bedtime? Let us tell you. Weak
kidneys become somewhat infiamed by
the daily activity of the child and de-
mand something cooling. The result is
the same, whether they drink or not
wet beds. We write our school
teachers, asking them to always and
quickly permit Fred or Nellie to retire
on request. as their kidneys are weak.
Let us set you right in this matter.
Give such children one Doan's Kidney
Pill twice a day, and as sure as you
do, their kidneys quickly strengthen to
a full ability of retention, and sweet
rooms and beds, and undisturbed
studies at school will be the result.
Their weakened kidneys are nearly al
ways the result of some former sick
ness, and as easily cured as any child
ish ailment. Doan's Kidney Pills are
pleasant for children to take, and per-
fcctly harmless. An example of the
success of Doan's Kidney Pills in this
trouble comes from Meriden, Conn.
Mrs VIM. Wood, who lives in that
city. at No. 13O Colony street, says:
my little boy of ten years of age has
always been troubled with weakness
of the kidneys, causing him to wet the
bed. So many mothers punish their
children for this, but I knew he couldn't
help it. / heard about Doan's Kidney
Pills curing incontinence of urine in
adults, and thought they might help
the little fellow. l procured box and
their use produced a marked effect at
once. 1t is very seldom he does it
now. 1 shall continue giving him
Doans Kidney Pills until the kidneys
are sound and strong. 1t is only out of
gratitude that 1 permit publication,
but the trouble is a very prevalent one,
and most people from modesty or
diffidence do not speak of it. Physi-
clans don't appear to be able to cope
with it. and 1 consider it a mothers
duty to tell others about it when she
| has found a specific for this terrible
annoyance

E5OO.OO for Q1.OO.

Unadilla, N. Y, (SpeciaD-One Of our
substantial men here, Fred J. Joyce.
recently made $3.50 investment, and
considers the results worth $500 to him.
For over fifteen years Mr.. Joyce was
an inveterate smoker. and the tobacco
habit gained such a hold on him that
1t affected his nervous system and
made 1t impossible for him to quilt:
Upon realizing the loss Of health and
money which threatened him. he made
many unsuccessful attempts to break
himself OF the llfe-sapping habit, until
on a chance he took No-To-Bac, the
great cure which has saved over 3oo,-
600 tobacco victims. Two boxes COM
pletely cured Mr.. Joyce. and he has
no desire for tobacco now whatever.
When he attempts to smoke 1t makes
him as dizzy as when he first acquired
the habit. He now is in the very best
physical condition, and SaUO would not
tempt him to use tobacco again.
