they were fifty years ago, when
( we have cause to use them.
{ But we have less and less cause
TO praise ourselves, since others

I II have sold Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla for more than rs years,
( both at wholesale and retail,
and have never heard anything
but words Of praise from my
customers; not single COM

believe Ayers Sarsaparilla to
J be the best blood purifier, that

man who has sold thousands Of

Newspapers in Spain.

Spain is n country of 100000
population, but there are fewer
newspapers published in it than
are published in the state of Hin,
ois, which, by the last federal cen
sus, had a population of 3,S00,0O0.
And many, if not most of the
newspapers published in Spain
are newspapers in name only, for
their most distinguished charac-
teristic is that they do not contain
any news, being devoted to what
are called matters in general" or
such matters in particular as per-
nit of the publication of the paper
any day of the week or any hour
of the day-it doesn't make much
difference which.

Mrs. II. Mason read description of the
new National Library at Washington, ID.
G. Mrs. Devendorf said 1t was planned that
a saloon should be added to- and run in
connection with this magnificent structure
but the w. G. T. U. hearing of this scheme
sent In such flood of protests that the
saloon adjunct Was abandoned. Honor to
whom honor is due.
The names of the newspapers printed
in Shiawassee county were given by Mrs

The strawberry culture for family use.
Mr.. Bowles said for hand cultivation should
be set In rows two feet apart; 200 plants
should furnish family of eight sufficient
for table and Gaming purposes. The varie-
ties he suggested were the Crescent for early,
the Warfield for medium and the Parker
for late. Mr.. Hubbard thought 200 plants
hardly sufficient for so large family. He
admired early spring setting as fall settings
unless we'll watched were not as successful.
Should threshers furnish all the help,
board and lodging? Many of the farmers
favored the plan IL the cost to the farmers
was not too great but the price which had
been suggested, seven cents per bushel,
would be too expensive luxury.

JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.
Which Is Better, Try an Experiment, or
Profit by an 0wosso Citizens
Experience.

Something new is an experiment, must
be successful at home or you doubt it.
The statement of a manufacturer is not
convincing proof of merit, but the endors-
ment of friend is. Now, supposing you
had bad back, lame, weak or aching
one. Would you experiment on it? You
will read of many so.called cures. But
they come from far away places. It's
different when the endorsement comes
from home. Easy to prove that it is 80.
Home endorsement is the proof that
backs every box of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Read this case: Mr.. w. White, fnisher
at Robbins table factory, says: 81 can
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills highly
to anyone troubled with pains and aches
through the loins and kidneys. During
the past couple of years was bothered
good deal with pains and weakness
through the small of my back. If 1 stoop-
ed it was extremely painful to straighten
up again and when l caught cold it settl-
ed in my back and made me much worse.
1 had seen Doan's Kidney Pills highly
recommended and I got box at John
son & Henderson's drug store. They re-
heved me of the distressing annoyance
right away and now have no trouble
from my back or kidneys when stopping
or working"

Byron Farmers Club.

The Byron Farmers Club met on April
IA, at the home of the president, Mr. M. Il.
Boice. The members were rather late In
gathering and consequently there was no ses-
sion until after dinner, which by the way,
was as elaborate as the bylaws will allow;
for 1t has been enacted by the club that
Refreshments shall be limited to tea and
coffee, bread and butter, pickles and cheese,
one kind of cake, sauce or pie, and one kind
of meat" At one o'clock the session was
begun by song by Miss Nora Boice, enti-
tied, 1.-THE old red cradle rocked us ALL"
Mrs. l.. G. Kanouse read selection entitled,
"Why left the farm" by tramp. James
Golf read paper on 1.-The unit school sys.
tenn" which elected lively discussion;
Mr.. Golf taking the ground that the unit
should be the township for the board of
management, instead of the district Mr..
Kanouse thought thar 1t would concentrate
too much power In the hands of few.
While the subject of SCHOOLS" was being
discussed, the system of report cards as at
present being used, was the subject of some
thought. 1t was thought to be an unneces-
sary expense, as the parents of pupils do
not need to look over their per cent on these
cards to know whether they are learning or
not. 1t seemed to be the opinion of most of
the members that uniformity of text books
in the state would be good thing, also that
all school books should be furnished by the
State. A question box was then in order.
To the question, "DOes it pay to raise sugar
beets," l.. g. Kanouse said he once raised
some that were called sugar beet,, that yield
ed an immence crop of very nice clean beets,
but at another time be procured some seed
of some seed man and the beets were hard
ly worth gathering, as they were infested
with numberless fbrous roots which held
the dirt SO they could not be made clean,
and they did not pay. So 1t depends much
on the seed you get.
Mr.. Orr said we need to insist on getting
pay for our hay before 1t leaves the barn,
as buyers will Gull or sort 1t over when they
load 1t In the car, and grade it very differ.
emily than they talk when icy buy it.
Mr.. William Madison and wife were taken
into membership. The members then dis.
persed feeling we'll repaid for the day
spent together. The next meeting will be
held at James GOff's. f.

Bank clearings Indicating Prosperity.
1t is q noteworthy fact that notwithstand-
ing the severe tension which prevailed dur
ing March In consequence Of Spanish COM
plications, there was gain of "a per cent
In bank clesrings for the entire country
compared with year ago, when the Wilson
free trade tariff was IN operation. There
was q gain Of 1.6 per cent over February
and the total clearing for March were
only per cent less than In January, the
largest ever reported. The most decided
gains were Ala per cent In the far western
group of States.
For the first quarter of the current year
the clearings of the banks In the whole
country were SO per cent greater than for
the corresponding period last year. The
heaviest gains were AIS per cent in the
middle States and IS per cent In the north
western and FAR western group of States.
Such evidence of prosperous conditions of

Iuc iiu6 VI tuTtSnluS Sdiu. In tulo country
with the small jobs, and so much territory
to go over, with often laying of of work
the plan was impracticable and could moi
be done.
Give the best plan for killing, trapping
and getting rid Of rats. A common steel
trap placed in box or pail covered with
sufficient meal to conceal its presence was
regarded by most of the rat experlmenters
as the best method, though some perferred
cats.
Would 1t not be advisable to have public
scales and have one trusty Individual dc
all the weighingp This question brough,
out expressions of the entire confidence
our club has In the honesty of the business
men of our city of Owosso. Most of oul
members have scales. Mr.. Hubbard weighs
his own produce and If the buyer doesn't
wish take his weight, he doesn't have To
take his produce. Geo. Mason had realized
the greatest benefit from his scales In the
sale of cattle. In estimating the weight OF
cattle there was sometimes q difference OF
opinion between the buyer and seller In the
value in weight which the scales would
always accurately determine.
The Farmers Mutual Insurance Assocla.
ton. Mr.. Hubbard thinks this method OF
insurance cheaper and better than any
other. Mr.. Shepard, who came out from
Lansing to attend this meeting, said: There
might be improvements made which would
be beneficial to the association. He advised
that all property be re-insured every five
years. That when property decreased In
value a better basis could be established
by re-insuring and better relative rate to
to the amount insured, could be secured
He would insert clause In the policy, tina,
no unused building should receive security
against loss. f. II. Rush could see nc
necessity for reinsuring. If property
would be to re'estimate the value of the
property, and insure according to the new
valuation. Messrs Hubbard, Thorpe and
others conceded with the views of Mr..
Rush. There was also strong sentiment
that If company insured an untenanted
building and accepted pay for the same, II
the building burned the company should
pay the full amount for which 1t was
insured. Mr.. Bowles said: The value OF
property insured should be determined while
1t remains intact not after IL was burned q
committee go and view the ashes and then
say the property was not worth the amount
for which it was insured and then only
allow a certain per cent of this amount
upon which the party insured has been
paying premiums. That was all wrong.
Sheep, mutton, wool and woolens. All
of the gentlemen present who are sheep
owners took part In this discussion. They
were unanimous In the opinion that all
farmers should keep at least a few sheep.
That more money could be realized from
them than from any other stock, and the
money came in at just the time when
money was hard to get.
