DO You
Need Iron ?
The new preparation called
peptirOn

is an agreeable, effective and
up-to-date combination of this
wonderful curative metal, free
from all the Objectionable
features of older iron prepar-
atoms. Whether taken
In Pill or Liquid Form
Peptiron does not injure the
teeth, nor leave any inky or
metallic flavor in the mouth,
and is the only iron prepare
ton that does not cause con-
stipation, however long taken.
Peptiron cures nerve pain,
nerve tire, and all degrees OF
nerve debility; makes the
cheeks rosy and the eyes
bright-the young more vigor-
Gus and the old less feeble.
Invaluable to invalids and
convalescents and to all neu-
rasthenic, anemic, and dyspep-
tic sufferers.
Peptiron is made in two forms: In a liquid
an aromatic cordial elixir-at 81 per bottle,
also in chocolate-coated pills at Soc or VI

RUNNING A FARM BY PROXY.

A friend who owns nice, improved
farm of 160 acres in western state
and who is so situated that he cannot
carry it on himself, but who still de-
sires to keep his money safely invest
ed In the farm, wishes to know which
is the best method of handling it
shall he rent 1t for cash rent shall
he let it on shares, shall he hire man
to run it? The first plan will insure
him the least trouble and the smallest
return. The second plan will be all
right provided he can get the right
man and make a lease for term of
years. The third will prove the most
profitable II he will assume the gen
eral oversight of the farm work, stock
it up with good stock to the limit and
pay a good man what he is worth to
carry it on. He will find II hard to
get just the right sort of tenant on
the share plan and still more difficult
to get the right man on the salary
plan. The honest man may be lazy
and the hustler a man who will steal
the owner blind.

together, or keep two or three different
varieties of chickens. or raise ducks.

DEBT ON THE FARM.

We are asked how much debt a man
carry. That depends. Assuming his
farm to be worth $4,000 and the man
hustler. turning his attention wholly
to the production OF meat products on
his farm and not running a steam

600 at 5 per cent. Still this will make
him sweat and grunt before be gets it
