The best example OF this is found in
Quaker Oats. Il stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment

ton, and yet It is the least expensive
food enc can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make 1t an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands. fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than IL

FAVORABLE
Year FOR The FARMERS.
Final 1909 Crop Report Issued BY Ken
lucky Department Of Agriculture.

Frankfort, Ky, Nov. 4.-The year
that is now ending has been a very
favorable one for the Kentucky
farmer, according to the monthly
crop report from the State Depart
ment Of Agriculture, which has just
been issued here by Assistant Com
missioner James w. Rankin. This
Is the last report that will go to
the farmers for this year, as 1t is
customary for the department to
suspend Its bulletin service during
the winter months when there is
practically nothing upon which to
report. There was no recurrence of
dry weather such as injured late
crops to such considerable extent
last year. The report says in part:
On the whole the year has been
very favorable one for the farm
err. The weather has been almost
ideal farming weather since July 1,
from which time this report covers.
The drouth of the past year was
not evident, as enough rain fell
during the month of July, and with
the exception of some localities
during August and the first part of
September, when it was real dry,
the farmers were enabled to har-
vest every crop and house it nicely.
The average wheat yield for this
State was not very heavy, being
about eleven bushels. This should
be increased, and can be made pos
sible If the proper rotation of crops
is practiced by farmers.

and girls and wherever they have
been held they have been very sue
cessful. A number of counties are
having corn shows and it seems that
Kentucky will be a contending rival
against the great corn-growing
States Of tn eWest. The average
yield for the State this year is thirty
bushels per acre.
The oats crop in Kentucky this
year was good one as against a
complete failure of last year. An
average yield for the State this
year is twenty bushels per acre.
The hemp crop this year was ex-
ceedingly light and the prospects
for a good price are good.
The rye acreage Is very small in
the State and the average yield is
only about nine bushels per acre.
Practically no barley was raised
in the State.

MRS. LAURA RUSSELL,

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount Of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness Of
breath, srnothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
I in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem
aedy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circuistion.
