LIFE INSURANCE As AN INVEST.
MENT FOR FARMERS
| Or How Jones Bought and Paid For q
Six Thousand Dollar Farm

The history of Jones will show how
person who owns eighty or mere
acres of land may double it. Also
how the rent saved by the purchase OF
piece of land will almost pay for 1t.
II you do not own as much land as
you care to farm and are paying rent,
by the yearly addition of a small
amount to the rent you now pay you
can buy the land as Jones did.
Mr.. Jones owned hundred and
sixty acres of land and rented an ad-
joining quarter, paying three dollars
per acre therefor, or $3.50 per year
cash rent. For years it was the hope
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jones to buy this land,
that when their boys (aged ten and
twelve years. grew to manhood 1t
would be unnecessary for them to
leave the old homestead. Many were
the plans suggested and the ways de-
vised to secure this coveted quarter,
but as the owner of the land wanted
$4,000 for it, Mr.. Jones could not see
his way clear to buy it.
He reasoned that should he mort
gage both farms in order to secure
the payment OF the purchase price OF
one, and die, his family might lose
the farm they already owned. AS
the interest on the loan $4,000 at 6
per cent would be $3.50 per year, with
in $3.50 of the rent he was paying. he
concluded to defer the purchase until
his boys could he of more assistance.
One day Mr.. Clark. owner of The
land, informed Mr.. Jones it was his
intention to sell the farm and did
not care to renew the lease, which
would expire March 1, 1902. Jones.

be given the first chance; if not, an
other party would take it, While Mr.
Jones was in doubt and hesitating, he
received a call from a representative
of the Old Line Bankers Life lnsur-
ance Company Of Nebraska, who can
vassed him for a contract OF life in
surance. Mr.. Jones Informed the
agent of his desire to buy the adjoin-
ing quarter section of land, and
thought he could not we'll invest in

Upon learning that Jones had been

rent, the agent, finding Mr.. Jones
age to be thiriy-three, asked him If
he would be willing 10 pay about
$3.50 per acre for twenty years should
the landlord give him a bond, deciding
him the land at the end of that time
should he live, or to his family should
he die at any time after the first pay

further payments.
OF course, Mr.. Jones said he would
be glad to enter into contract OF
that kind. WELL" said the agent.

Milking Machines.

OF the various makes of milking
machines that are being sold on tho
market the Thistle seems to stand at
the head, though it has few friends
in the United States. We hear from
it however from time to time in Eng.
land, Germany and Australia. In
those countries It is being tested quite
extensively, with varying results SO
far as making itself friends and ene-
mics. In recent tests in Germany il
has been used continually for a year
or two but the cows where It is used
are not kept for milking purposes be.
yond year and q half. Then they
are sold to the butchers and new cows
purchased. 1t has been asserted that
the milking machines dry up the cows
and reduce the length Of the milking
period. With cows that are only to be
MIXED to the end of one milking pc.
riod 1t Is impossible to ascertain tho
truth of this. A few cows purchased
would not allow themselves to be
MIXED by the machine. Some OF the
hard-milking cows had to be stripped
by hand after the machine had done
what it could. but the easy-milking
COWS were MIXED clean by 1t. II
seems to be evident that IL We are
to have milking machines we will
have to develop a special class OF
COWS with teats OF certain conforma
tion and with milk ducts that easily
and quickly give down the milk.

The Thoroughbred Dairyman.
It takes the thoroughbred dairyman
to produce a good herd of dairy cows.
This is because there is no rule that
may be laid down by which the work
Of dairy herd producing may be uner.
ringly accomplished. The work is not
one that may be cut out by machinery
after some particular pattern, but, to
use a common phrase, we must "cut
and ft." The whole thing comes
back to the quality of the man that
does the cutting and fitting"
We have had very small number
of thoroughbred dairymen in the past,
and that Is why we have SO few real
ly good dairy herds. Fortunately the
state dairy schools and the progress
sive dairymen in all the states are
now laboring to produce large num-
Der OF thoroughbred dairymen and we
have reason to hope that in the fu.
ture the tribe will not be so small as
1t has been in the past.
The thoroughbred dairyman is al
ways trying to educate himself in
dairy knowledge. He finds this hard
task with the present sources Of in.
formation; for the information itself
is but just being accumulated. Much
he learned yesterday he is compelled
to let 60 Of to-day, and some part OF
what he learns to-day will have to be
discarded tomorrow. But the thor
oughbred Is not discouraged by this
state Of things. He is not only not
satisfied with the amount of informa.
tion that he can get from others but
he sets to work to do some expert.
menting on his own behalf. He finds
enough to keep him busy in trying to
! solve the problems that are yet un.
solved or that have been solved in a
| very imperfect manner. This kind OF
dairyman is making his impress on
the country because he is a worker
and knows how to intelligently direct
his operations, whether they relate to
the work Of his dairy or to the expert.
ments he is conducting.
The thoroughbred dairyman learned
long ago to control his temper and to
be gentle with his dairy animals. He
also insists on the other men having
the care Of the cows being gentle. He
has learned perhaps by instinct that
a rough manner or q bOisterous voice
does not increase the milk flow OF
the production of cream. Gentleness
is one of the things that marks him
as distinct from most of his fellows

PRAISE FROM THE EX-GOVERNOR OF OREGON,


l. to the Pacific. Letters of congrat-
ulation and commendation testify
ing to the merits of Peruna as n catarrh
remedy are pouring in from every State
of the Union.
DR.. Hartman is receiving hundreds
of such letters daily. All classes write
these letters, ON the highest to ~
lowest.
The outdoor laborer. the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Pcruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing
catarrh as their greatest enemy, are cs-
pecially enthusiastic in their praise and
testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigb universal; almost
omniprescnt.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of
catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds,
is to cheat catarrh of ITS victims.
Peruna not only cures cafarrh, but
prevents H. Every household should
be supplied with this great remedy for
coughs, colds and SO forth.
The Ex-Governor of Oregon is an
ardent admirer of Pcruna. lie keeps it
continually in the house.
