The question Of getting some equit-
able returns from $3.50 an acre land, is
now racking the brains Of a good many
farmers. The proposition is this: One
must employ modern methods, use the
best seeds, and make everything move
to count on the winning side. It takes
a mighty bright business man to handle
these high priced lands and show any
profit. The thing Is being done, but
1t calls for good horse sense and q
thorough knowledge Of stock and crops.

There should not be any question
now about the most profitable stock
for the farmer. The only kind that

the well-bred animals which are trained

A farmer should know at the end of
each year just how he stands. Too
many are satisfied with the income OF
the year, without Analysing their oper-
ations to see which crops have paid and
which have lost money for them. Not
many business men can make every
department Of their bushes pay. but
they usually know where they are los
ing money, and cut it off. Every farm
product should be grown at a profit,
and with q little systemattcal book
keeping one can easily enlarge the best
money makers and leave the others
alone. Try books for one year, just to

ship would be inspected when not in

calls for a balloon race during the
week, and for the exhibition of a cap

In the latter passengers will be
carried to height of six hundred
feet as asst as they care to be accom-
modated. The passenger carrying air.
ship will take up Mr.. Knabenshue
and two other persons at a time.
Mr.. Knabenshues fame as an aero
naut is not confined to the Western
Hemisphere. He is as we'll known as
Santos Dumont, the famous French
man. His first flights was in Octo-
ber, 1904, at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition at ST. Louis.
His passenger carrying airship will
make only eight appearances in Amer
lea this year. These include Louis
vile, New York, the jamestown Ex-
position, Columbus, Des Moines,
Grand Rapids, Nashville and Brock
ton.
The balloon race and the captive
balloon will divide honors with the
passenger carrying airship, as some
of the great amusement features Of
the Kentucky State Fair. Those who
witnessed the balloon race of uly 1,
1904, at the st. Louis Worlds Fair,
will recall the enthusiasm that spread
not only over the twelve hundred
acres or the Exposition grounds but
over all of st. Louis. The captive
balloon will give to the visitor who
is too tlmid to attempt a trip in the
passenger carrying airship, an oppor-
tunity to see how it feels to be up
in the air."

ness in my back The trouble l know
came from my kidneys, and especially
Grom the left one, this one being
the most affected. Sometimes I could
scarceIY rise if | knelt or stopped
end otten VIXEN walking sharp pain
would take me in my left side so as
to nearly cause me to fall. weak
ness of the kidney secretions wasivery
annoying, especially at night, as 1t
disturbed my rest. For years, at oft
recurring intervals, | took various
remedies but all failed to give the
promised and expected relief. 1t is the
recollection of these very facts which
makes me so appreciate the remedy
which at last afforded me genuine and
lasting relief. This remedy was
Doan's Kidney Pills and they We're
procured by me at J. w. Gayle's drug

OF the trouble and removed it. l will
