The large ana increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead in this county
is matter for congratulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of its class in the coun-
try, 1t is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers' Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the most valuable farm publ
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for S1.9O for the entire five,
one year. This is emphatically good
thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For a large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equals it. A
county paper, q farm paper, q poultry
paper, farm insurance paper and the
Special Farmers Institute, all for 81. go
! Come In and order them.

Then, with desperate coldneae
which showed how strong was the hate
within him, he examined the horses
again and then all the stable, never
speaking a word outright, but mutter-
Ing, darkly all the while. Then, his
examination concluded. he got bucket
of water and cloth and washed the
sign from the door.
