The Upper ,Peninsuiar Raises Great

h With every year the acreage of bar
ley planted in the upper peninsula. is
increased. The territory is especially
well fitted by nature to produce this
grain 10 perfection. The superior
mailing qualities OF Michigan barley
have long been recognized by the brew
crs of the country, and in consequence
the highest market prices are paid for
the barley grown in this region.
All Menominee county records were
eclipsed this fall by the crop of Peter
Anderson, farmer living near Wal
lace. Anderson, according 10 the certi-
fled statement of the thrashing crew,
thrashed the remarkable amount Of 81
1-2 bushels of barley from one and one
quarter acres of land, which had been
seeded with ony two bushels of the
grain. This is an extraordinary rec
ord, and is taken to indicate that the
upper peninsula will be the principal
barley producing region OF the United
States in the future.
Barley forms an important part in
the rotation of crops of the sugar beet

DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.

good, red blood. When the blood is red
and healthy there can be no debility.
The relation between the blood and
nervous system is such that the pills
have very decided action upon the
nerves and they have cured many severe
nervous disorders, such as partial pa
ralysis, locomotor ataxia and st. Vitus'
dance, that have not yielded to ordinary
treatment. Their double action, on the

ideal tonic.
