mand for meats the farmers of the
corn belt must come to the front.
This they have been doing. They must
keep it up.
mot only should the prices of meats
keep up, but corn should not go any
lower. What this means to the Mis-
sissippi Valley every farmer knows.
When farmer can turn his corn into
beef and hogs and sell them for S
cents a pound he is getting at least SO
cents bushel for his crop, and many
think 60 cents would be fair esti-
mate. The farmer who can raise from
fifty to eighty bushels Of corn to the
acre and dispose of it at such prices
by feeding it out is not going to the
poor house.
"There is no other industry in the
United States that stands today on a
surer and safer basis, with brighter
prospects for the future, than that of
farming and stock raising out in the
great valley of the Mississippi.

TALL CORN

doesn't COME by accident. A
fertile soil and careful caitiva-
ton are necessary to produce
the towering stems and heavy
ears.
Yet the farmer who under
stands that he can't have a
healthy corn crop without
feeding and wedding, seems
to think that he can have a
healthy body without either
care or culture. But the body
is built up just as the corn is,
by the assimilation of the
several chemical elements on
which vitality depends. And
what weeds are to the corn,
diseases of the stomach and
nutritive systems are to the
body they divert the neces-
sary food supply from the
proper channels, and the
body becomes lean, sickly
and ill-nourished.
The proper digestion and
assimilation of food is pri-
mary essential of health. By
healing diseases of the stom-
ach and organs of digestion and
nutrition, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery increases
the digestive and assinilative
powers, stimulates the action
of the blood making glands,
and sends to every organ of the
body the rich red-corpuscled
blood on which physical vigor
and vitality depend.
