GRADE UP YOUR STOCK.

BILE Returns.

A review of the recent sales of
thoroughbred cattle throughout the
country shows that good, useful cattle
can be bought at figure within the
reach of the average farmer. This
being so, it is only a question with
him. will 1t pay?
Probably the most direct and con-
the older countries, where feeding cat
tie has been the principal source Of
revenue to the farmers for more than
q hundred years, and where land val
ues have increased proportionately
with the feeding business. The value
of these lands now are from 5000 to
$500, per acre, ana yet, even at this
figure, they yield profit to the breed
er OF pure bred stock of all kinds. To
Offset the gradually increasing value
of their lands, the feeders in England
and Scotland were compelled to adopt
not only the most economical methods
of feeding, but to keep nothing but the
very best animals of the different spe-
cies. AS the value of the land in
creased, the quality of their live stock
increased, and to-day England and
Scotland lead the world in the quality
of their beef and mutton. taken as a
whole. II is only necessary TO add
that less than three per cent. of all the
beef cattle grown in those countries are
subject to registration. This shows
what influence the quality Of the cattle
has in making the business profitable
on such high-priced lands.
The application Of this to the Ameri-
can farmer is obvious. His lands, es-
pecially east of the Mississippi river,
are increasing in value every year.
That he must change his methods OF
farming is inevitable. II may be many
years before he is compelled to adopt
the intensive methods followed In the
old countries in order 10 make stock

Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace for

Put briefly, that Judgment is, "Dodd's

And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason for
this Judgment. He says: Last winter |

above all, woman who has had
more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases of
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been go
ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from a woman of such expert
cnce, especially when it is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-
fidence of women. and every tcstimo-
NAL letter published is done SO with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel. of 412 North saith
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
cover year ago wrote you letter asking
sdvice, as | had female ills and could not
carry a child to maturity. | received your
kind letter of instructions and followed your
advice. am not only a well woman in con-
sequence, but have beautiful baby girl
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done 30
much for me.n
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured. will Lydia L. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form of
female ills
No other medicine in all the world
has such a record of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no
prudent woman will accept any substi-
tute which druggist may offer.
II you are sick, write Mrs. Pinkham,

Ancient Egypt
Knew the Virtues Of the
"king of Foods. +"

Since the earliest annals of Old
Egypt, wheat has been recognized
as the king of foods.
1t has held its sway down to the
present day, Notwithstanding the
fact that in many forms of making
wheat into food products, some OF
the best elements are lost.
Bread has been aptly termed,
"the staff of life," as it alone OF
known foods has all the elements
that are needed to sustain life.
Egg-O-See contains all the best
elements of wheat in a far more
healthful and delicious form than
any bread, crackers or ordinary
wheat foods. In addition to the
best whole wheat delicately faxed
and crushed, it is made still more
digestible by the addition of refined
diastase, the highest grade OF malt.
There are no premiums or gifts
In the Egg-O-See package; moth

grade of cereal food in the world.
