Farmers who keep comparatively

home grown corn In place Of wheat

of eottonseed meal. two pounds Of -four

pounds Of cottonseed meal. two pounds
of cat middlings or rye feed and two

meal Malt sprouts may be substitut-
ed for the wheat. cat or rye middlings.
The several grains after being mixed
should be distributed through the silage

According to the Farmer.
The foregoing method of feeding will
enable the farmer to get along with a
minimum cash outlay for grain (4i5
cents daily, and at the same time he
will be supplying a well balanced "a
ton. rich in elements Of fertility. The
method will be more particularly suit
ed to farmers not having easy trans
pOrtation facilities and who sell their
dairy products to the creamery.
Farmers and dairymen who cannot
closely supervise the feeding and who
desire TO feed more than five to seven
pounds of grain daily will probably
find II advisable to use one-third to one
half wheat bran in compounding the
grain mixture. Distillers' grains and
malt sprouts have also been shown to
be quite satisfactory distributors Of the /
heavy concentrates.

Just half century ago this week,
Keokuk's streets were in darkness, the
same as they are at the present time,
the gas system then being in use and
there being no street lights.
On the night of October 81, 1858, or
Just fifty years ago last night, the gas
supply was off for an hour at supper
time, much to the inconvenience of the
people. During the balance of that
week, there were no street lamps on
account of trouble at the plant, so that
the people of fifty years ago, were in
Just the same trouble the citizens are
today, in having dark streets.

MAKES ASTONISHING CURES
f'i-ona Tablets Cure Dyspepsia by
Promptly Removing the Cause,
or Money Back.

Mi-o-na is scientific and effective
remedy for the permanent cure of in
digestion.
Food is digested in the stomach by
means of churning movement of the
walls of the stomach which thorough
ly mixes the food with the gastric or
stomach juices.
III the muscular walls are flabby and
lack tone or energy, the stomach can
not churn the food properly, and the
digestive juices are not properly mix
ed with the food.
This causes indigestion. The com
mon symptoms are weight and full
ness after meals, coated tongue. bad
taste in the mouth, discharges of wind
from the mouth, and belching of sour
material.
Dyspepsia cannot be cured by tax
Ing digestor, such as pepsin, be-
cause pepsin simply digests your food
artificially, and not all of the food
either, for it has no effect at all on
starchy food, such as potatoes, rice,
oatmeal, bread, etc.
There is just one way to cure dys-
pepsia and stomach disorders, trivial
or serious. and that is to tone up or
put energy into the stomach walls, SO
that they will be able to properly mix
or churn the food.
Mona tablets cure stomach trou.
bles by putting strength and energy
into the stomach. They quickly arouse
the stomach from it's inaction, and in
short time it is able to do it's work
And bear in mind that when the
stomach is in good condition, consti-
patton disappears, also nervousness,
drowsiness, night sweats, heartburn
etc
