The harvest is we'll underway. The
quality of brush in every locality
seems to be good. With the. present
crop and the usual amount OF old corn
in the country, the price would neces-
sarily not run very high With the
old corn exhausted and the general
briskness in trade, farmers; may rlook
for good remunerative price Tor their
corn; but after looking the field all
over and getting reports from all the
broomcorn centers, we are convinced
that enough corn has been raised this
year to supply the demands of the
trade and that extra fancy prices will
not prevail as have been freely pre-
dicted by many.
This will be the year for the farmer
to be extra particular in caring for
his corn and putting it up in the best
and most attractive style. Extra care
in handling any crop always pays and
this is more the rule with broomcorn
than any other crop the farmer raises.
We think the buyers will be inclined
to be over particular this year and
that the man who has his corn in the
best shape will be the one who meets
with the most ready sale and at top
prices. Several sales have been made
in Illinois Of the new crop. Seventy
dollars seems to BE- the ruling price.
BY advices recently received from
Oklahoma we are Informed that the
fa-mo's are selling their corn freely at
sixty dollar.
These prices would make our corn
worth here about s65 at the outside.
The market has not opened up yet
and it is difficult to say just what the
prices will be but our opinion now is
that prices will range along In the
neighbOrhood Of these figures, with
the extra choice lots going at little
premium.

deprayity go hand in hand. This is just as
true Of the inside of the body as the outside
Constipation clogs the body and clouds the
mind. Constipation means that corruption is
breeding in the body, poisoning the blood with
its foul emonations, befogging the brain with
its tainted calculations. Constipation is the
beginning OF more diseases than, perhaps, any
other single disorder. The consequences Of
constitution are legion. Headache, pain in the
side, shortness OF breath, undue fuilness after
eating, GOODNESS Of the extremitiss, nervousness
indecision lassitude, Dizziness sollowness, fat
ulence, and a score Of other ailments are direct
ly caused by constipation. Cures constipation
and you cure its consequences. The quickest
cure OF this evil is obtained by the use of Dr.
