tween gross cost and net cost-that
is cost of producing, cost of trans
portation to market, and cost of
commission on sale or selling.
In a young community like ours,
one only beginning to be developed
and where few crops have yet been
raised, the chances are that the
products will be good, pure and
abundant. We know that this is
the case with us. We are closer to
the original storehouses of Nature,
and there has not been time for Us
to rob them to our injury. So our
returns, and also orr profits, ought
to be larger than in older settled
regions, where the storehouses have
been more or less emptied in the
course Of years.
But is it not true that while the
quality, and the quantity of our
products we believe should make us
prosper, and we know that we have
worked hard and as sensibly as we
know how, yet when the years end
has come and we take stock of our
possessions, we find that after ex-
penses and debts are paid there is
mighty little left. Some of us may
then just scratch our heads for want
OF an answer to the question-and
go on working in the same old way.
Others will keep on with the why,
why" till some light breaks in.
Remember, others besides us in
Lincoln county have been and are
asking this "Why?" Many answers
have been given, some bad, some
good, some best.
Maybe we can get some good from
knowing what some of these answers
are. will repeat the question in
an altered form, and leave the
answers for another letter.
Is the net profit, or net return,
for your years work on what we
raise and sell all it should be? If
not, why not?"
The O. A. c. has done many good
things for the farmers of Oregon.

Professor Bexell advises will not
take most of us more than three
minutes a day. Then, in three
months time we shall know for
sure what kind of work pays to do
or have done-what stock pays us
best to keep and run, what crops we
should raise, and what our profit on
them is, or might be, or should be.

Should Lincoln County Farmers
Combine for the Common
Good?

EullOr LEADER. - WISH L naQ
written this letter two weeks ago,
for if my neighbors are like me
there has been all kinds Of chance
for reading and thinking while the
rain storm has been keeping most
of us within doors. However there
is plenty of time ahead of us this
winter for the like occupation. So
here goes:
The County Fair last September
proved past all question that every
division, nay, every precinct of our
county yields farm, ranch, garden,
and orchard products of the first
and most marketable quality.
Another thing was shown-that,
although the county's population is
still small, yet it is so spread out
that good beginning of improve
ment has been made in every dis
trict. Dairying, cattle, sheep, goat
and hog raising, chicken farming,
fruit raising, large and small, vege-
table growing, all are more or less
widely followed and that not only
close to our one railroad, but in all
our side valleys and settlements.
Newcomers are many, although
the tide of settlement is only Just
reaching our shores. Prices of our
lands have already risen, but are
yet far from the level they will
surely gain. Farms and ranches
are being improved, orchards are
being planted, high grade stock of
all kinds is being bought and raised.
No one who knows the facts will
doubt or challenge these statements.
The first result is that every farmer,
rancher, stockman, orchardist and
chicken raiser in the county knows
in his soul that he cannot stand
still If he would, but if not for
ambitions sake, yet for very shame
of being left behind he is bound to
join the procession of improvers.
The old, easygoing day is past,
when it was the fashion to be con-
tent if the sale of small bunch of
cattle or a little wool kept the family
in groceries and clothes and paid q
trihe of taxes, with little help
from few eggs and chickens, and
a hide or pelt or two carried in to
the cross roads store.
Another point is that, whether
because more money and labor is
being invested in improving our
farms and ranches, or has been
spent in the purchase of Lincoln
county land at higher prices than
formerly, there must be higher re-
turns. That is that there must be
larger quantities, of better worth
raised, and also, what is raised
must be marketed to the best ad-
vantage.
| want to notice here.
There are two kinds of worth, /"
or value, in what we raise. AThe
first is, what we get for our stuff if
it is sold in fair or open market.
But the second is, what is there
left to us after the stuff is sold
when we have paid the expense of
raising and marketing. 1t may not
be much gain to us to get high
prices per head, or per dozen, or
per gallon, or per box for what we
have to sell if there is but trihe
left, or possibly none at all, when
we have paid the cost Of raising or
producing, the expenses of trans
portin to market and of commits
sions or losses on sale. These three
items make up the difference be-

CURE YOUR SC|AT|CA
1t Is a Form Of Neuralgia and Has
Frequently Been Cured by
the Tonic Treatment.

Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic
nerve. Its origin is generally rheumatic
and is the direct result of taking cold.
For this reason the disease is commonly
known as "sciatic rheumatism.
Lack of blood is almost always associ-
ated with neuralgia. One medical
authority has defined neuralgia as 1.-The
cry of the nerves for better blood"
This is true because the nerves receive
their nourishment through the blood.
Build up the blood, the impoverished
nerves are fed and the neuralgia pains
disappear.
Absolute rest is the best aid to proper
medical treatment. Rest and DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills will cure most cases.
After years of suffering, Mr.. Fred O.
Lowe, Of North Paris, Me-, was cured
of sciatica by this remedy. Mr.. Lowe
is veteran of the Civil war and was a
member Of Co. D, 14th Maine Infantry.
He says:
about thirty years ago began to
have sciatica and think it must have been
caused by exposure. My hips, legs and
back were affected and often the pain
was so intense that would drop to the

left leg and foot were swollen to double
their natural size. Iwould be helpless
for three or four weeks at time and
was obliged to use clutches for six
months. There were sharp, jabbing
pains around my heart. could not
sleep and lost in weight and strength.
II suffered intensely for about twenty
years. l was under medical treatment
most of the time but received scarcely
any benefit. Through reading the
papers I learned Of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills and gave them a trial. They gave
me relief in a short time and took
them until cured"
Sciatica is stubborn in resisting treat
ment and the patient frequently suffers
for years. DR.. Williams Pink Pills do
not simply relieve pain but they cure
diseases caused by depraved or vitiated
blood. They actually make new blood
and have therefore q direct and power
full curative effect on such diseases as
rheumatism, an8mia, general debility
and after-effects of the grip.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists. or sent by mail, postpaid, on
receipt of price. so cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams
