''For two years or more | have had rheu-

foolish to suffer with rheumatism when Nela-

Mr.. Moses Tisch, of Easton, Nd, writes:
Neaton's Remedy for rheumatism is Il
wonderful medicine. 1t cured me when

Clover is tn" best crop to pillow under
for wheat after the second crop of hay
has been cut. The soil is then richer in
fcrtilizing material than 1T any previous
stag" of growth. The shading of the soil
by clover, and the fact that it adds nit
rogcn also, makes il one of the most val
liable crops that can he grown, as the
valu" of the plant food to the soil is
nearly equal to that of the crop itself.
