MONEY IN FARMING.
It Is There if You Know How to Ge,
It Out.

J. p. Mowbray, in The Worlds Work,
To work small farm to profit
within easy reach of railroad commu-
nication is simply a matter of some
capital. a decided preference for the
work, average intelligence, persistent
and patient industry and good health.
There are thousands of small farms
within a radius of one hundred miles
from New York whose owners have
abandoned other pursuits and taken to
tilling the land, and who could not be
induced to go back to their former
occupations. The farms for the most
part We're bought by part payment,
the balance remaining on bond and
mortgage. Twenty per cent OF these
farms have been redeemed in five
years, and as rule the debt was paid
by the thrift, self-sacrifice, and coop
erative determination of the man and
his wife.
One typical example comes To mind.
II is of a coach painter. He had work.
ed ten years at his trade, for twelve
dollare a week, and saved a hundred
dollars a year. In the eleventh year
there was strike of his guild and
he had to face the prospect of being
out OF work for some time, by nu
choice of his own. He went down into
| Jersey, bought ten acres OF land at
a hundred dollars an acre, paying five
! hundred cash and giving his bond for
| the remainder. With the balance ha
| bought horse and COW. second
| hand wagon, and settled himself to
earn new living. He and his Wife
| with a -year-old child, lived for
| two years in a shanty. But this man
had the tenacity of "a bulldog, the self
| reliance of drummer, and the pa
| thence of trained nurse.
When he had been on his place
| eight years ! paid him a visit. His
| wife met me at the depot, three miles
| from her home, with two-seated rie
| and "a lively team, | found the couple
| living in a new cottage that had beer
| built by day labor and which the own,
| er had painted himself II was a very
tasteful structure and was already
! prettily shaded by the trees that h,
| had set out. In reply to my questions
he said that he calculated 20 max,
about eight hundred dollars n yeai
clear. He had bought the adjoining
twenty acres on easy terms and hat
most of 1t into good growing shape,

price they were receiving from the

to deliver any more milk unless GER
tain price was paid. Theprice was not
paid and the dairymen formed an as
Sociation known as the Lackawanna

and started creamery and butter rae
tory at this place, which has been
decided success to the association anG
the result of the same is the closing
of the industry at La Plume, making
this place the only market for the

suit, no doubt, condensery machinery

CHANGE OF CLIMATE
Not Necessary in Order to Cure Ca
tarrh.

thIIH.
The popular idea that the only cure
for chronic catarrh Is a change of eli
mate. IL u mistake because catarrh Is
found in all climates in all sections of
the country; and even IL change OF
climate should benefit for "a time the
catarrh will certainly return.
Catarrh may be readily cured In any
climate, but the only way to do 1t Is
to destroy or remove from the system
the catarrhal germs which cause all
the mischief.
The treatment by inhalers, sprays,
powders and washes has been proven
almost useless In making permanent
cure as they do not reach the seat OF
disease. which is in the blood and can
be reached only by an Internal remedy
which acts through the stomach upon
the blood and system generally.
A new discovery which is meeting
with remarkable success In curing ca
tarrh of the head, throat and bronchial
tubes and also catarrh of the stomach.
is sold by druggists under name of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets which are pleasant and
harmless to take owe their efficiency
"
| Blood Root, Red Gum and a new spe-
cific called Guaiacol. which together
with valuable antiseptics are combined
in convenient. palatable tablet form
and as valuable for children as foi
| adults.
Mr.. A. II. Fernbank, of Columbus, o..
| says: I suffered so many winters from,
| Catarrh that | took II as a matter OF
course, and that nothing would cure II
except change OF climate, which my
business affairs would not permit ms
| to take.
| Ny nostrils were almost always
| clogged up, l had to breathe through
the mouth causing an intamed, irri
tated throat. The thought of eatini
| breakfast often nauseated me and tn,
catarrh gradually getting into m,
stomach took away my appetite anC
digestion.
My druggist advised me to try fift,
cent box of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets
because he said he had so MANY Gus
toners who had been cured of Catarr,
by the use of these tablets, that he fel
he could honestly recommend them.
took his advice and used several boxe
with results that surprised and de
lighted me.
| always keep a box of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets in the house and th
whole family use them freely on tn
first appearance of a cough or cold i
the head.
with our children we think there
nothing so safe and reliable as Stuart
Catarrh Tablets to ward off Group an
colds and with older people I hav
known of cases where the hearing ha
been seriously impaired by chronic ca
tarrh cured entirely by this new rem
edy.
