i, The experimental work that is car
ried on at the agricultural college and
throughout the state by those in
charge Of the extension work is of in
caiculable value.
No individual could devote his time
solely to the experiment work on his
farm and accomplish SO much as is
now being accomplished by the con-
eeTted efforts Of our experts.
Such experiments as are now neces-
sary for the thorough development of
tho farm interests, requires sufficient
lands and apparatus for the carrying
on Of the experiments, and where most
agricultural schools now have from
$50 to 1900 acres of land under their
control for such purposes, Indiana is
far below IN standing, in this respect
because of the lack of interest in sup
plying the necessary funds for carry
Ing on such work
i Providing inadequate equipment is
not economy in any lire.
What would we think of the farmer
who would put up the argument that
he saved money by cutting his grain
with an old fashioned cradle to save
tho price of a modern binder?
What would We think of a man who
started for Indianapolis on horse back
to save the railroad fare?
There isn't much economy in such
things il there?

The Cause of Rheumatism

Stomach trouble, lazy liver and de-
ranged kidneys are the cause of rheum-
atism. Get your stomach, liver, kid
neys and bowels in healthy condition
by taking Electric Bitters, and you
will not be troubled with the pains of
rheumatism. Chas. B. Allen, school
principal of Sylvania, Ca, who suf-
fered indescribable torture from
rheumatism, liver and stomach trou-
BILE and diseased kidneys, writes: "All
remedies failed until | used Electric
Bitters, but four bottles of this won
derful remedy cured me completely"
Maybe your rheumatic pains come
from stomach, liver and kidney trou-
bles. Electric Bitters will give you
prompt relief. SOC and ST.. Recon-
