pronounced it a local disease and pre-.
scribed local remedies, and by con.
~stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu.

thing which he thinks will be of ad
vantage to the farmer, otherwise he
wouldn't be advertising in an agri-
cultural paper. And anything which
is of advantage to the farmer is some
thing which the farmer doesn't wish
to overlook nor can he afford to over
look it. Get the ad-reading habit. 1t
is a good one, and you will find after
following it little while that it will
mean money in your pocket and broad
er understanding of your own bust
ness as result. You can never
tell what you are overlooking when
you fail to road the advertisements.
And the live, wide-awake farmer OF
today doesn't as a rule overlook any
thing that is of advantage to him.

Talks With Our Readers
The Meat Packers.

We want to hear from more of our
readers regarding the meat packing
question. We desire letters from any
of our subscribers who have had any
experiences in selling their beef to
the Pacific Coast meat packers at
prices which were unreaSonably low.
We have had many communications,
and in every instance the writer has
substantiated the stand which The
Ranch has taken, and shown that it is
the disposition of the packers to pay
the lowest price possible, and to hold
the stockman and farmer down to a
price which makes the entire industry
improbable. When the packer comes
in competition with Eastern buyers in
Omaha, Montana and California, he
pays a good price. He has stated thfS,
and The Ranch has never doubted it,,
because good, healthy competition
compels these things. But when the
packer buys from the grower in this
section of the country, where he has
no competition, but buys according to
an agreement with the several other
packers working in the same district,
he is not so liberal. We would like to
readers of The Ranch who we know
have had the same experience as Mr.
Cogswell and other stOckmen whose
letters we have printed. Help us out
in this matter 1t will be to your
own interest to do so, for this fight is
being conducted for the good of every
farmer in this section of the country
A few hundred letters giving direct
testimony from the farmers will help
us wonderfully as it is evidence that
the packers cannot readily deny.
Human Interest in Advertisemen
The reader of The Ranch will find
it to his advantage to read the ad-
vertisements in each issue very care
fully. One of our great men said re-
Gently that he always read the adver-
tisements in magazines and newspa-
pers as regularly as he read the read
ing matter, and that if he had to pass
up one or the other he usually read
the ads. 81 get more human interest
and a better knowledge of the worlds
affairs and the worlds progress from
the advertising section than from any
other part of magazine" he said.
"For advertising to me is as much
chronicle of what is happening as
though things are written in black
and-white straightaway news style.
This is very true and the readers or
The Ranch will find that if they get
into the habit of reading the adVer-
tisements which appear in each issue,
that they will not only find things to
their advantage but also find many
features which will be interesting and
instructive to them. The average adj
vertiser in the farm paper has some
