Agricultural Education.

The old method of slipshod, hap
hazard farming under which our
sires and grandsires gained liveli-
hood in the long ago will not answer
for the farmer of the present day, nor
for the farmer of the future. Condi-
tions are widely different now from
what they we're in "ye olden time"
Then the virgin soil quickly responded
with bounteous crops to almost any
kind of cultivation. Now, after
having been cropped for years,
exhausted nature calls a halt. The
husbandman must realize that IN
order to raise paying crops he must
study the conditions of his land and
apply sufficient amount of fertilizer
to make up for the drainage in the
years that are gone. Right here is
where education will come in to do
the most good. The man must under
stand the conditions and the require
ments of the soil he cultivates, and
in order to understand he must study,
read, learn from others, embrace
every opportunity to gain knowledge
until he obtains a good agricultural
education.-NeaD England Farmer.

Troubles that Lead to Insanity
and Suicide Result from a
Diseased and DiSOrgan-
lied Nervous
System.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
The Great BanlSher Of Nervousness In
all Its Forms

Are you a victim of melancholia,
and do you brood from day to day ?
Does the shrek of the steam whistle,
the rattle of wheels or the clangor of
bells cause you to start and SILVER?
If this is your condition, be assured
your case is extremely critical.
1t is fitting that you should investi-
gate your condition at once. If you
are sleepless, depressed in spirits, if
your mental movements are slow, if
you are subject to terrifying halluci-
antions and an aversion to food, we
say with all earnestness, beware of
insanity and suicide.
The science of medicine has, thank
Heaven, furnished a means for the
Punishment of all the troubles refer
red to. Paine Celery Compound is the
great restorer and builder of the weak
ened and shattered nervous system.
This marvellous prescription of Pro-
fessor Edward E. Phelps, NJ. d. LII. D.
begins its work directly upon the
nerves by bracing them up; it strength,
ems tissues and muscles; it causes pure
life giving blood to flow freely tc
every part of the body, carrying
health, vigor, joy and happiness into
each hour of life. Beware of rene.
dies that have no merit or reputation
to recommend them, they simply ag.
gravate existing trouble.
Ask your druggist for Paine's Celery
Compound, the medicine that never
disappoints.
