Of the money, but for the good that can
be done with the money. Now, there

that viii make money for the farmer.
One is Silver King Barley, the most
wonderful creation of the age, yielding
90, 100 to 116 blu. per acre in 1895, and
there are thousands of farmers who be-
1ieye they can grow $50 blu. per acre
therefrom in 1896.
Then there is Silver Mine Oats. yield
ing in 1895 209 Blu. per acre Every
farmer who tested it, believes $50 hu
possible.
Then there is Golden Triumph Corn.
which produced over 200 bu. per acre,
and $50 bu. is surely possible.
And potatoes, there is Salzer's Ear
Hest, which was fit for table in % days
in 1885. yielding tremendously, while
the Champion of the World, tested in a
thousand different places in 1895. yield
ed from to 1,600 bu. per acre.
Now, in Salzer's new catalogue there
is a wonderful arrayal of new varieties
of wheat, oats. barley, rye, potatoes.
grasses, clovers and forage plants. and
the editor believes that it would pay
every farmer thousand-foid to get this
catalogue before buying seeds.

course without the aid of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in that
dread disease, pneumonia. We know OF
no better remedy to cure a cough or cold
than Chamberlain Cough Remedy. We
have used it quite extensively and it has
always given entire satisiaction.-Ola-
gah, Ind. Ter. Chief. This is the only re-
medy that is known to be certain pre-
ventive OF pneumonia. Among the many
thousands who have used itforcolds and

single case having resulted in pneumonia.

reason to fear an attack OF pnuemonia,

4 change of the time Of sale of
lands for delinquent taxes is de-
sired by great many people who
are SO hard pressed that they do
not find themselves able to pay
their taxes until their lands are
about to be sold, especially in the
northern portion of the state. Here
very little threshing is done by the
firstsof October, the date of sale
under the present law, and it is
often found to be very difficult
matter for farmers to procure
money at that time. The coming
Legislature should change the date
Of sale back to the first of Decem-
Der, as by that time oil will have
threshed their grain and fewif any
will be compelled to borrow money
to pay taxes. Milton Globe.

Ar the last election the voters
of Minnesota adopted an amend
ment to the constitution of that
state requiring a man to be a citi-
zen of the United States-that is,
taking out his second papers-be-
fore he is eligible to vote. Since
election it transpires that under
the provisions of this amendment
l75, 900 voters in the state were dis
franchised, practically by them
selves. Heretofore it has only
been necessary for person of for
eign birth to declare his intention
to become q citizen and to have
been resident of the state for
four months in order to entitle him
to vote. Many newspapers view
with alarm the lamentable ignor-
ance of l75,000 people who would
thus disfranchise themselves. Their
fears are groundless. 1t was no
doubt an oversight on the part of
these men. that they had not taken
out full citizenship papers before.
They saw the wisdom of having a
stricter citizenship law, and then
they went before the court and
were made full citizens of the
United States. The average for
eign- born citizen of the United
States is neither SO foolish nor
corrupt as some newspapers would
have us believe.
