A POSITIVE CURE FOR
INDIGESTION.

Ifyou have indigestion, your food
ferments in the stomach and bowel Is.
1t does more: 1t decays, and the nu
trious matter which should go to
make new blood decays with it, and
this leads to an impoverished condi-
ton OF the blood, TO nervousness, bill
iousness, constipation. sick headache,
bad breath, which di-gusts your friends
and other disagreeable and 6npleas-
ant conditions.
And all this trouble is caused by the
food that doesn't digest, but ferments
and OF times rots III the stomach.
And fermentation is caused by the
stomach not being strong enough and
energetic enough to thoroughly mix
the food with the digestive juices.
Mi-o-na is responsible Tor tens of
thousands of cures. In fact. it is such
a positive cure for indigestion and all
stomach troubles that it is guaranteed
by G.. X. Fogg to cure or money back.
The price of large box of Mi -o-na
tablets is so cents, and they are sure
to promptly relieve the worst case of
indigestion or gastritis. Try them.

WHAT ONE BOY DID.

The blue ribbons that were pulled
national live stock show held at Chi
eago early in December prove that one
of the most successful breeders of this
type of cattle In the country was a
young man Of the name Of Otto Bat
ties, who happens to live at Maquo-
keta. Ia, but who for the purposes of
this article might have lived In any
other state or section of the country.
Last year, at the age Of twenty-three,
he exhibited nine head Of cattle and
captured some of the best prizes of
fered This year he exhibited sixteen
head Of Dod1ies and captured still
more blue ribbons, attending in all
during the season ten shows and win
ming $1,000 In cash prizes. This boy
started in the live stock business when
he was sixteen years. old with two
thoroughbred Angus cows, both of
which gave him fine calves. little
later he mixed with his stock breed
Ing operations a little of what some
ultra practical men are wont to term
theory" and took a course In animal
husbandry at the State Agricultural
college. He then went back home and
developed his little herd intelligently
until today he has close to hundred
head of as fine Angus cattle as can
be seen anywhere. That raising pure
bred stock Is profitable as well as en-
tertaining Is shown in the prices he
receives for animals sold. A pair of
heifers which he disposed Of recently
brought him $500, while for three 9th
ers he received $500 each. He sells
his bulls for prices ranging from $3.50
to $500 apiece, and one COW which he
wisely keeps In his own hands he
values at $1,000. Strangely. young
Battles got no encouragement In this
work from his father. who, though q
hardworking man. took no stock In
these newfangled ideas. His mother
encouraged him, however, and the
two proved q successful team. This
Instance of success may be somewhat
out of the ordinary, but 1t shows nice
ly what can be accomplished with
and energy and disproves
the claim of some that there are no
today for boys on the
farm. Other boys can do what this
one did If they only think so.

A LESSON IN CULTIVATION.

An interesting picture object lesson
which is on display in the farm crops
section OF the Indiana experiment sta
tion shows two fields of corn side by
side, the one on the left given no cuI-
tlvation after planting and that on tibe
right cultivated four times. At har
eest time the first field yielded 2.S
bushels Of corn. while the latter pro
1uced 564 bushels. One might almost
wish that third field had been shown
which had been cultivated six times,
sor there Is little question that there
would have been an increase Of from
twelve to fifteen bushels per acre.
However, the two fields photographed
give striking and valuable object
lesson Results secured in other field
experiments showed clearly the ad-
vantage< Of disking corn hand before
blowing. which gives mellow sub
soil and permits the ready circulation
Of air and moisture.

A SPRAYING DEMONSTRATION.

The Nebraska experiment station
has lately tabulated the results of an
extensive series Of spraying expert
ments which have been carried on un-
der it's direction In the eastern part Of
the state during the past three years,
and they are so complete and worked
out I'm such detail as to furnish most
convincing proof Of the advantage and
profit In the spraying Of apple or
chards. The figures given are the
average of ten spraying tests. The
number of trees In the experiment was
2,G05 and their age nineteen years.
The average cost per gallon Of spray
Ing material was four-fifths of cent
and the cost of application cent per
gallon. An average Of seventeen gall
Ions Of spraying liquid was used on
each tree yearly, while the total cost
Of material and labor per tree each
year was 80 cents. at picking time it
was found that the sprayed trees yield
ed on an average 5.5 bushels of ap-
pies, which brought Al cents per bush
el. or total of $2.26, while the un-
sprayed trees bore 80 bushels of fruit,
each of which sold at % cents per
bushel. giving return of 10 cents per
tree. A subtraction shows that the
sprayed trees yielded a revenue Of
S1.56 per tree more than the unspray
ed. while the deduction Of the cost of
the spraying. 30 cents, leaves $1.28 as
the net gain per tree due to spraying.
To these very convincing figures may
be added the further statement that
the trees We're in a much more vigor-
GUS and healthy condition at the end
Of the three years spraying than at
the start. While this could not be fig-
sred accurately in dollars and cents, it
would nevertheless be considerable
