How to Make Money on a Farm.


Grandfather made money in his own way
but, the Men who are Making Money today
are not using Grandfather's Way. Successful
agriculture, like other successful enterprises,
is on different basis than il was in Grand
fathers day. Large crops of the best quality,
produced at low cost, is the Secret of present
day farming Successes Thousands of intelli'
gent and progressive farmers are Making
Money today because they have adopted mod.
ern methods and machinery and keep informed
about the progress of agricultural develop
ment. little more care in the cultivation
and little more attention to grading, will
produce bigger crops of better quality, that
sell at higher prices. Little things like these
make the difference between success and fail
ure. Success depends upon knowledge, and
knowledge can be had only from experience
or reading the experience Of others, The New
England Farmer, Brattleboro, VT, (the paper
your Grandfather read), is the Agricultural
paper through which the successful Money
Making Maxim Farmers Of New England exchange
successes and failures II is the One Great
Agricultural Paper which Farmers must read
to keep well informed, and the only agricul-
stead Of Mere Reading Matter. No matter
how many other agricultural papers you may
read, You will still find enough Of Interest and
value, exclusively in The New England Farm
er to make it Worth Your While to read it
thoroughly. The system of crop, market, and
comparative price reports received once each
month from every county in New England
VIII make and save more money every day
than the cost of The Farmer for a year. You
may, be able to get along without The New
England Farmer, but you will get along bet
ter and make more money if you read it.
Inc Reformer has made an arrangement
with the publishers of The New England
Farmer whereby we can send this best OF all
farm papers on trial for ten weeks without
cost to every farmer in this vicinity. Just
pay years subscription to the Reformer
New England Farmer for ten weeks free. AZ
ter that it will cost you $l.00 per year If you
want it-but it is well worth it. Send your
order today. It costs you nothing to read

One would think the Laxative idea In
cough syrup should have been advanced long
before II was. II seems the only rational
remedy for Coughs and Colds would be 70
move the bowels and clean the mucous mem
branes Of the throat and lungs at the same
time. Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar
does this. II is the Original Laxative Cough
Syrup. the best known remedy for Coughs,

AFTER SICKNESS.
Our Druggist, George E. Greene, Tells
How to Regain Strength.


lowing to this changeable climate
and unreasonable weather, there has
been a good deal of sickness in Brat
tleboro during the past few weeks, "
said our leading druggist, Mr.. George
E. Greene, "and we want to say to the
people of Brattleboro that the one
thing to aid recovery after sickness is
to give the patient bodybuilding
and strength-restoring tonic, one that
will create an appetite, and give
strength to every organ in the body. +"
"Now,' continued Mr.. Greene,
from an intimate knowledge of al
most every medicine on the market,
we do not believe there is another
remedy in the country equal to our de-
licious cod liver oil preparation, Vinol,
for this purpose.
"Vinol is not patent medicine, as
everything in it is named on the back
label Of every bottle; it contains ev-
cry one of the bodybuilding, medicinal
elements of cod liver oil, actually taken
from fresh Gods livers, but without a
drop of the system-clogging oil to up
set the stomach and retard its work.
cit acts directly on the stomach,
tones up the digestive organs, creates
a healthy appetite, makes pure, rich
blood, healthy flesh and muscle tissue,
and creates strength for every organ
in the body.
"Mr. Edgar A. Howe of Concord,
N. H., says that after long, severe
sickness he was weak and emaciated,
all tones seemed of no avail, but Vinol
restored in marvellous manner, health,
strength, and appetite.
eff Vinol fails to build up the run
down and convalescent, give new life
and strength to the aged, cure stomach
troubles, hard colds, and hanging on
coughs, we cheerfully refund every dol.
lar paid us for it." George E. Greene,
Druggist.
