BREAKS THE RECORD
A TWENTIETH CENTURY FLYER IN
THE MEDICAL FIELD.

rheumatism Rapidly and Radically Cured.
Quick Work of a Famous Remedy.
Convenience, comfort, safety, speed are
demanded by the travelling public in our
rapid century and the keenest intellects
constantly at work on these problems
are making wonderful progress in the
construction of the steamship and the
locomotive. Like results are sought in
medicines and DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People are astonishing the world
by the triumphs they are winning in the
rapid cure of obstinate maladies, such as
rheumatism. With speed they combine
convenience, perfect safety and cheap
ness.
Here is fresh proof of their concen.
trated virtues: Mrs. Margaret Gantz,
of No. 1927 Bodeman street, Burlington,
Iowa, is al industrious German woman,
who about two and half years ago
found herself i'll danger of losing her
power to work altogether. She says |:
~ got rheumatism which made my
knees and elbows very stiff and painful.
had difficulty in raising my arms and
/ could hardly lift my feet over my
doorstep. ought to have gone to bed,
but l could MT afford to do that, so
forced myself to work in spite of the pain
and stiffness. After suffering for about
six months, was told about DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People by
friend, who said she had been cured by
them. On her advice, l bought one box
and in two weeks after I began to use
them was well and l have had no need
to use them now for nearly two years.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are good med
icine and if I ever have rheumatism
again 1 will get box right away. l
have told many friends what they did
for me and am glad to have everybody
know"
This is valuable news to all who suf-
fer from rheumatism. These pills have
also cured stubborn cases of locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, st. Vitus' dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, nervous headache,
palpitatiun of the heart and all forms of
weakness in male or female.
They are sold by all druggists, or
will be sent directly from the DIR. Will

box; six boxes for two dollars and half.

Two Ideas Of Earmlna.

In the United States there are two
opposite ideas Of farming. One is to
farm on the extensive scale. The 9TH
er Is to farm on the intensive scale.
The western idea of farming is to
own great tracts of land, and this idea
becomes more extensive as one goes
west. Even in Western Canada a
farmer thinks himself poor unless he
owns several sections of land. The
idea Is one that had its birth in the
days when land was cheap. 1t has
lived on in spite of the changed con.
ditions. In the day of cheap land
the great farm was a necessity, as
intensive operations were not pos
sible. LABOR was scarce and live
stock abundant, and the animals could
be made to do most of the gathering
OF the crops, eating them as they
gathered them.
With the increase of population the
interests of the country lie in the
possession of small farms. Reduce
the size of the farms and young men
will find 1t possible to purchase them,
At present prices it is practically i'm.
possible for a young man to buy a
farm of average size. The old proc
esses of thin farming still remain on
the big farms and are likely to remain
as the price of land goes up, on &C.
count OF the ever-increasing price of
labor.
In the eastern part Of the country
the intensive farming idea is in the
ascendency. AS result the farms
are largely owned without mortgages.
The intensive idea is making itself
felt to some extent In the West, but it
is yet slight, except near the great
cities, where farming takes on the
character more of gardening. Could
we but induce the men that own more
land than they can cultivate to sell
what they have little use for the ben
eft would be threefold: The man that
sold the land would be benefited;
the landless man that purchased 1t
would be benefited; and the general
public would be benefited.
We are coming to the time when
our farmers will realize the fact that
1t is possible to farm downwards as
well as laterally. They will find that
1t is not necessary to pay taxes on a
thousand acres of land farmed three
inches deep when they can get the
same results from five hundred acres
farmed six inches deep. They will
also find that smaller farms mean a
better social condition of the people.

Hairy Netch.


One of the best cover crops known
is hairy vetch. 1t has, however, been
little used on account of the high
price OF the seed, much of which had
to be imported from abroad. There
seems no satisfactory reason, however.
why this seed should not be raised
on this side Of the water in sufficient
quantities to supply all demands. The
Ontario station imported seed from
Germany, and, sown in the fall. it
produced the next year SO bushels of
seed. Seed produced from this crop
was sown side by side with new seed
from Germany and gave a yield of
S.4 bushels above that Of the German
seed. AS the price of seed is five
dollars per bushel, this was a fairly
good return for the acre planted to
yetch. OF course the price can be
reduced by a number of farmers grow.
ing the seed, but even then the re.
turns will be better than from some
Of the cereals.
For sweet potatoes the ground
should be plowed shallow. There
should be a hard bottom under the
ridges in which the sweet potato tn.
bers grow, that the tubers may grow
short and stout.

Osawatomie and from Little Rock for
points south and east; returning, the
new train will make good connections
