la Grippe7
This Torturing Malady Can Be Pre-
vented and Cured by Simple
Remedy Kept by Every


.. Druggist.
You won't have to dose and drug
yourself to cure la grippe if you will
fortify the system against it's attack
by using Iron-Ox Tablets
They embody a new principle in
medicine-they both cure and prevent
disease by bringing about perfect di-
gestion and assimilation of your food;
by regulating the bowels; and by flash
ing strength and health thru every
nerve fiber in the body.
They purify the blood by securing
and maintaing normal harmonious
action of the stomach, bowels, liver
and kidneys, SO that only the nutritive
elements Of the food you eat are kept
in the blood and sent to strengthen
the brain and muscles.
La Grippe cannot exist where the
blood is pure, the food tlnoroly digested
and the waste products Of the body
disposed of as Nature intended.
| Don't wait until the grip bacillus
has found a lodgment and begun
breeding in your system. OK
Tablets will keep you in a state of
superb health.
Any remedy which shocks the sys-
tenn into activity is dangerous Do not
expect immediate perceptible effects
from Iron-Ox Tablets. They produce
a natural, regular building up of al
the bodily functions. This takes a lit
tie time, but successful result is alb
solutely certain.
Do not confound Iron-Ox Tablets
with liquid preparations, which are
simply drugged alcohol and which
create habit which is nothing more
or less than alcoholism. Iron-Ox Tab
lets build UP the system slowly-the!
cannot create a habit

tive aluminium pocket-case, 25 cents a

OLD WAYS MUST GO.
the Farmer Who Does Not Adopt the
Advanced Methods of the Day
Is Sure to Fail.

The man who is engaged in agricul-
lura. p rsuits at the present day is eX-
pected TO keep up and advance with the
agricultural progress OF the world. He
must dispense with the old methods
and adopt the new and later Inventions.
We cannot raise and led our stock as
our ioreiathers did hundred years ago
because we are advancing and land is
more closely taken up; consequently we
must work more on the order of the in
tensive system. We know it is hard for
some farmers, who have been taught
and raised 10 do a thing a certain way,
! 10 change to the better methods. 1t
seems 70 them that il is wrong, and Oft
en- they cannot be blamed for feeling so.
But We must gradually free ourselves
from these ideas. All the other depart
ments OF the business world are adyanC-
ing, and why should not agriculture ad-
vance with it? The whole race of hui
manity is depending upon agriculture
for living and the trade should not be
thought any the less OF by anyone. The
man who is engaged in other pursuits
of lite should honor the farmer. as he
must understand that whatever he eats
comes from him. If the farming class
does not advance with the rest OF the
world it will be to its own loss. II is
not natural that we should be satisfied
to work in the same road we did years
ago, or even one year ago. We should
strive to do better this year and make
an advancement wherever possible.
The best easiest and most practical way
to advance ourselves is given in one sem
tence, namely,-"Read plenty of agricul-
tural literature and apply the facts
gained to actual experience" The farm
ing world would be far behind where it
is now if it were not for the help that has
been given us by farm literature Every
farmer should try to make some i'm
provement and advancement every day.
, Never let your business get the best of
you, but get the best of it, and you can
best DO this by advancing with the rest
OF the world.-E. J. Waterstripe, in Epit-
omisr

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

C,..a out the strawberry bed, unless
you are going o plow it under.
Cultivate often in the garden and or
chard. weeds or no weeds, and thus keep
the surface in condition to receive the
rainfall or to retain soil moisture.
An Old SOW with litter Of vigorous
pigs will root recognition out of the
garden in about Is minutes. Pigs and a
garden cannot be raised on the same lot.
When the lettuce are too old to use
on the table clear the garden Of them
unless you have some little chicks that
will relish them in this case let them
remain as chicken feed.
The value of good stock was shown at
New York recently when Strawberries
were selling all the way from two to ten
cents per box. There were only about
10000 crates received on that particular
day.

Commercial fertilizers are not very
extensively used in the middle west.
The lack of interest is due largely to
the eXtravagant claims made for them
years ago by chemists and dealers. Now
they are better understood. Very fire.
Quently they can be proftably used for
special crops, and in connection with
barnyard and green manures As the
natural fertility of our virgin soils de-
creases they will become more and
more important. Inform yourself con-
cerning them and see If some Of your
crops cannot be increased by the use of
lime. potash salts, phophate or other
compounds.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Good News for Shippers,

The supreme court of Minnesota has
decided that the Wisconsin Central rail-
road must pay for apples frozen in tran
sit A lot was sent from New Hampshire
to st. Paul, and arrived frozen. The
owner refused the apples. brought suit
against the railroad, and a jury gave
verdict Of s262.26. The road appealed
with above mentioned result. As the
Produce News says, 1t is the duty of rail-
roads to haul the fruit and deliver 1t In
good order. They always claim not to
be responsible, but whenever the owner
Of the fruit has the nerve to go to the
courts, he usually gets justice. This ver-
dict will be good news for number Of
shippers.

Successful War on Ants.

Large numbers Of ants can be de-
stroyed by liberal use of boiling water,
kerosene emulsion or strong soap suds
poured over the nests at night when the
insects are all at home, but the more
effective is substance known as carbon
bisulphide, which may be used in the
following manner: Make some holes
some inches apart and several
inches deep with broomstick
or bar in the nests, and pour
in each about a teaspoonful of carbon
bisulphide and cover the nests with a
wet blanket, and after few minutes ex-
plode the fumes collected underneath
with a match or other light on the end
of short stick. This treatment, if re-
peated one or two times, should de-
stroy all the occupants of a nest-Coun-
try Gentleman.

Some Anxors Goat Advice.

Angoras are at their best when three
years old and should then be sent to
the butcher unless 1t is desirable to keep
them longer for their fleeces. After this
age they begin to grow coarse. both in
fleece and fiber. No wether should be
kept in the flock after 1t has passed its
prime and done It's best. Where num-
ber Of old wethers are kept in the shear
ing flock the average nneness of the clip
Of mohair Is materially lowered. and the
longer they are run In the field, the lower
goes the standard Of the hair.-Texas

in ten years was $4,000 OF this $1,000
was in Philadelphia and Pittsburg

$4,000 but of this total 10000 was in
New York county. 1000 in Brooklyn,

and 1000 in the whole rest of the state.
Another reason for the increase in
the colorcd population of the city, not

MIGRATION OF NEGROES.
Thousands Leave the Country Every
Year to Find Employ
in the Large Cities.

Booker T. Washington recently gave
two reasons for the general migration
of the colored population from the
country into the cities-the superior
educational facilities for colored chill
dren and the better police protection
afforded by the cities.
The increase in the negro population
of the United States between 1890 and
1900 was 1,350,0OO, or at the rate of
about Is per cent, the white popula-
tion in the same period increasing 81
per cent. But this gain in the colored
population is not evenly distributed,
