Board of New South Wales, Australia,
had an analyst made of all the cough
medicines that were sold i that mar
ket. Out OF the entire list they
found only one that they declared
was entirely free from all polsons
This exception was Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy, made by the Cham
berlain Medicine Company, De-
Moines, Iowa, U 5. A. The absence
Of all narcotics makes this remedy
the safest and best that can be had;
and it is with feeling of security
that amy mother can give it to her

THE FAIR THING.

When a farmer hires a hand at $26
per month. board and washing, just
what is fair and right to demand of
the man In the way of work? is ques-
ton fred at us. Well, the eight hour
plan won't work, to start with. Dur
ing the crop season farm cannot we'll
be handled with less than twelve
hours work, say two hours for doing
chores, two hours for meals and eight
hours for straight work in the fields;
II Il hired man would not do this much
we would not want him. In addition
to this, there will be times when this
limit will have to be exceeded-in hay
ing, harvesting and thrashing time.
On the other hand. the hired man who
is willing to meet these conditions
should not be kept at work every min.
ute during a rainy day. We believe
that where two men are kept it is bet
ter to turn the milking and the chores
over to one and let him take his time
in doing them. Too many chores to do
after hard days work in the field is
what makes the hired man homesick.

THE LAND CRAZE.

Two years ago the land craze was at
its height all through the west The
owner Of farm was not then safe in
putting price on his land unless he
was ready to make good and sell it.
There were ten men after every piece
of land for sale, and prices We're BOOM
ed up largely beyond real values Any
kind Of farm land could then find buy
ers - good improved farms, timber
tracts, swamps, sand hills. 1t is diff.
ferent now. The craze is over Values
have declined. Farms are now sold at
figure based upon their productive
capacity. Buyers are few, notwith-
standing the farm is just as safe aud
paying a proposition today as before.
the average selling value Of farm prod
ucts being If anything higher now than
two and three years ago. Americans
have these periodical speculative
crazes and always will. A century ago
they had the silkworm and mulberry
craze, in late years the Belgian hare
fad had 'em, and now a whole lot are
stuck on ginseng. Spite of all our edu-
cation, morality and intelligence, the
average American is born speculator
and gambler; it's bred In him.

VOTING uACHlNE S.

Tie st Paul Dispatch in an ur-
gent editorial plea for the adoption
of voting machines by that city, has
this to say:
Farmers no longer reap with sick
les. but If st. Paul We're farmer he
would now be using the implement
of a century ago. He would ttavei
by stage instead of by lightning ex-
press. discard the telephone, restore
the taIlow candle and generally be an
old fogy. Men find success in using
implements that give rapidity with
certainty st. Paul uses election
methods that give slowness and ur-
certainty. methods that consume

in preference to the infallibe voting
machine.
If the voting machine were nov

in going slow; in waiting until GER

AS TO SEED CORN.

Throughout the corn belt there was

some Of the agricultural experiment

in regard to their seed corn, It's selec-
ton, planting, etc. While much good
was thus no doubt accomplished, the
