Iron
Gives
Strength

stores have made many women pale,
tired and wornout, just as too much
study and too little outdoor exercise
have made many school children
spindling and delicate. They have
weakened the nerves, impaired diges-
ton, upset nutrition, so that the blood
has become watery and thin,-a result
plainly seen in the colorless lips, cheeks
and ears.
yToo much responsibility, anxiety and
worry have, in the same way, broken
down the health of many busy men.
Now, what is needed by all these
sufferers is iron, natural constituent
of healthy, strong and ruddy blood, as
combined in the new iron tonic, PepS-
iron, which strengthens and colors the
blood, nourishes and steadies the
nerves, cures paleness, weakness, ner-
vousness, dyspepsia and sleeplessness.

VALE OE Hay CROT.

The hay crop of this country is more
important to farmers than wheat, as
hay may I've baled and sent to market
or be used on the farm; hut one rea-
son why hay should not bc sold is be-
cause il contains more OF tho mineral
elements than does grain. More profit
is made from hay than from any other
staple crop, as it is the main reliance
for winter feeding while the manure
from hay contains plant food that
is more evenly balanced than that from
any other source To derive the most
benefit from hay, however, is to feed
it in connection with less valuable
bulky food. using bran or linSced meal
10 make the ration better and more ac-
ceptahle. and especially should this
course be pursued when there has been
\ short hay crop.

this reason it is impossible To succeed

Bronze turkeys arc tho largest OF
all breeds. and perhaps the most gem
orally bred. but there are several other
ravorites that are doubtless equally
good. The turkey does best IN warm
climates and il is somewhat surpris-
