A Sick Headache Cure

AS Sick Headache is caused by irrita-
ton of the stomach and as this irritated
condition of the stomach is caused by a
disordered liver, then it is obvious that
the liver must be made healthy. If this
is done and the liver kept in healthy
condition, sick headache will disappear.
Rydale's Liver Tablets are the best
medicine to make the liver healthy and
keep it healthy. They are the prescrip-
ton of an eminent Doctor, who made a
life study of diseases of the liver, in
testines and bowels. Rydale's Liver
Tablets are sold on a guarantee. If they
do not permanently cure sick headache
the money will be refunded. Chas. A.

To prevent Brights Disease.

Brights Disease-Consumption OF the
Kidneys, is just as fatal as consumption
of the lungs, and as it is liable to attack
any one when their Kidneys are in dis.
ordered condition. Every one should
watch their Kidneys and keep them
healthy. One way to do this is to keep
the stomach and liver healthy. If either
of these organs are unhealthy the Kid
neys soon become affected. keep your
stomach healthy by using Rydale's
Stomach Tablets, and your liver by
Rydale's Liver Tablets and thus prevent
Brights Disease. Chas. A. Searles & Co.

the average farm is growing less
and less rich in total plant food.
And the natural conclusion is
that the average farm will continue
to lose in fertility until the farmer
receives pay for the fertilizers in
his crops. So that the only prac
tical means, now visible, of main
tanning soil fertility is to increase
the price of farm products, so as to
include also the fertility removed
by the crops. When this is done
permanent agriculture will become
a possibility.
1t is quite essential to our nation
al welware, and perpetuity of our
progress and prosperity that agri-
culture be put upon a permanent
basis. And it is matter of Ma
tional importance that this perman-
cy be made possible. And if agri-
culture is ever made permanent, it

The Problem Of Farm Finance in its
Relation to Permanent AZ
riculture.

riculture.
The following is A Synopsis of
an Address by Byron Mcfarland at
Farmers Meeting at Columbia last
week.
The fundamental facts upon
which the problem of Farm Finance
rest, are the cost and the selling
price of your products. Our efforts
so far, have been chiefly in the di-
rection of reducing the cost by inn
proved methods of production, or of
increasing the selling price by in
direct methods of selling. 1t has
generally been assumed that the
farmer himself can solve the prob
lem satisfactory; and, according to
our present popular point of view,
if the farmer fails to prosper, the
fault is his, and his alone.
The cost of farm products is
measured and determined by three
factors: /, Interest on the invest
ment; 2, Labor incidental to grow
ing, harvesting and making the
crops; 8, Soil fertility removed by
the crop.
AS for interest on the invest
ment, | have supposed that money
invested in land is as good as mon
ey loaned on land, and should,
therefore, net the farmer about S
per cent above taxes and labor.
AS for labor, have supposed the
labor of the farmer and his teams
is worth as much as he has to pay
for hired men or teams.
AS for fertility removed by a
crop, have supposed the fertility
in a crop is worth as much as it
is out the crop e is worth what
it will take to replace
The idea of including lost fertili-
ty in the cost of a crop is new
We have labored under the sup
position that our soil was mex
haustible, or that it could re
|juvinate itself without expense tt
the farmer. But careful and thor
ough studies conducted for long
series of years, have shown tina
our soil can and does wear out
that is fertility can be exhausted
Hence the Importance of including
lost fertility in the cost of a crop.
1t has been proved: 1, THAI
rest does not add mineral fertilizer
to soil but simply lessons thu
loss. 2, That a rotation of crops
instead of building up the land, &C
tually haStens exhaustion of fertili
ty, because the crops in a rotation
take up more plant food, than ;
single kind of crop, without rota
ton, would. 8, That clover re
moves two elements of fertility anC
: adds only one, and that much of it
seemingly good effects are dut
more to the fact that it stimulate
: the soil, than to the fact that i
: feeds the soil.
= a. That the manure made by
! feeding crops on the farm can sup
ply under average conditions, only
so to 60 per cent of the amount re
; moved by the crops, and that ma
: nure like clover, is not only {
plant food, but a soil stimulant.
So that winter rest, rotation, GLOW
er, or manure cannot permanent!
: maintain soil fertility. With on
present state of knowledge, there i.
only one way left that is to buy a
least a part of it.
; A study of prices and yields, bas
:, ed on 10 year average for Nilsson
ri. shows that the farmer has beel

Mudd, a farmer, a few miles west
of here, has a horse that is very
fond Of persimmons. When the
horse wants a mess of the fruit he
backs up to the persimmon trees
aud, with a few kicks, knocks the
fruit to the ground. then turns
around and proceeds to eat of the
fruit of his labor. How the horse
found out that by kicking the per-
simmon trees he could get good
meal is not known. The owner of
the horse doubtless prizes him very
