Uncle sam Has Plenty.

Commenting upon the decline of ag.
riculture in England. the Los Angeles
Times says that "the character OF the
crops Is also changing. English wheat,
owing to its inferior quality. is not pop
ular, and its cultivation is declining.
Many farmers are abandoning wheat
growing entirely and are sowing their
land to barley or oats. the latter being
the favorite. The oats acreage in
Great Britain last year increased by
$4,000 acres. and oats now cover more
than one.ffth Of the total arabic area
of the country. It may be remarked
that If John Bull doesn't want to raine
any wheat at all We can show him
where he can buy tho article. and If
he feels like retiring from farm life
entirely he can get barley for his beer
and oats for his horses at tho same
place."

Ono OF the most remarkable cures

"Yes. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured mo
after was in bed for eight months

for that was three years ago and
have not been down since. In four
weeks from the time started taking
them was able to make my garden.
Nobody can know how thankful I am
to be cured or how much feel owo
