AS Our readers are aware, we have
been able to secure for them this year
an unusually advantageous clubbing
arrangement, which includes The Iowa
Homestead, it's Special Farmers Insti-
tnte editions, The Poultry Farmer,
The Farmers Mutual Insurance Jour
nal and The Humane Alliance, togeth-
er with our own paper, all for the sur
prisingly low figure of Sl.95. Nothing
like this has eyer before been offered
to our farmer readers. The Homestead
with its Special Institute edition for
January contains 64 pages of practical
farm information, and reading the
paper with it's Special Institute edition
for year practically amounts to lib
eral agricultural education. The Spec
ial Farmers Institute edition for the
present month considers four interest
ing, practical topics relating to farm
prosperity. sheep husbandry, winters
work.; etc, and on them more than 200
practical farmers and farmers wives
in tie west contribute their views and
experiences, making remarkable col
lection of the best thought on western
farms. The Poultry Farmer, The Mu-
tual Insurance Journal and The Hu-
name Alliance, the best of their class,
should be in every farm home. Take
advantage of this great offer.

THREE VARIETIES OF RIFLES.
The New Krag-Jorgensen and Mauser. and
the Old Springfield.

the Old Springfield.
Ordnance officers of the army are
much pleased with the action cf the
Krag Jorgensen rifle in the Santiago
and other campaigns, Before this
sum ner the new rifle had received no
proper test in actual operations since
it was adopted by the United States
government several years ago. AL
though much has been said in regard
to the excellent work done by the
Manser rifle used by the Spanish, it
can be stated authoritively that no
change is contemplated by the army
authorities looking to the adoption Of
this arm in preference to the Krag A
careful examination has recently been
made by ordnance experts into the re-
spectiye merits of the two rifles, and
they are convinced that, although the
Mauser is an excellent weapon, the
Krag-Jorgensen is its superior. The
principal improvement suggested by
the recent inquiry into its action in;
Cuba was change in the telescope
sight.
Expert opinion does not hold the
Springfield, even with smokeless pow
der, to be superior rife to either the
Krag -Jorgensen or the Mauser 1t is
admitted that the proiectile from the
45-caliber Springfield is more apt to
kill outright than the smaller bullets
used in the magazine guns. but this is
not considered to be an advantage. A

had worked with being driven back

backed what was left OF the wagon up
