in her yard and on her
lawn, where she is planting grass and
and trees. Nothing looks
better on farm than well kept yard
or lawn, and it would be nice if all
would follow Mrs. Browns example
and beautify our places. c. A. Burris-
ton is making improvements on the
same line, putting out shrubbery and
all kinds of shade trees, and time will
tell which place is the prettiest.

Mr.. E. E. Thompson, arrived home
last Thursday evening from an extended
trip east in Ohio, where he spent the
winter. He also visited in INDIANA,

He says times are hard there, and a
large immigration is coming west. Mr.
Thompson says he is glad to get back
home, and that he saw nothing on his
trip half as good as Idaho, and that the
poorest of us are better off than the
average run of eastern people.
Mr.. Albert Mosley and w. G. David

GRADING or SIZED CORN
PRODUCING GOOD RESULTS

County Farm Agent Fash is get
ting In the reports FOR the demonstra-
ton work this season. Last winter
and spring he made speciality OF
good seed corn and grading It. Hhir-
ty-three farmers were served In this
capacity. having from one to two
bushels OF seed corn graded. The re-
suit shows an increased yield OF from
thirty 10 eighty per cent over un-
graded seed. the same kind OF corn
being planted and cultivated alike.
Mr.. $. Bacon. living four miles
west of Mead, gathered fifty-five bu-
shells per acre from his graded seed
plat. and thirty bushels per acre from
the ungradcd, all the same kind OF
corn used for seed the only differ
ence being In the grading.
z. v Gordon. living west OF Cad
do. two and half miles. has the
most convincing results In favor Of
graded seed corn. lie purchased two
bushels OF Boone County white corn

with all the heavy rains aud 'obsta-

whilc on the second grade plat the
ears OF corn were one-third smaller.
and the yield was one-third less. and
ten days later all out Of the same

iallst.
Mr.. Fash reports that he graded
the seed corr for most OF tho boys In
the Boys Corn Club, and the result
has been nearly double the yield over
their fathers yield on the same land
adjoining
Tho test this season shows further
that graded seed planted on upland
produced as much corn per acre as
unFradcd sced planted on the rich
bottom land on Red River. Mr. Lem-
mons. who has some fine land on Red
River. had $500 acres In corn this
season, and his corn viii make fifty

Corn Club produced fiftye bushels

Mr.. Fash reports that he has quite

good cotton seed and the result will
be Just as surprising.
Mr.. Fash will put in all his time
this winter urging the farmers to pay
more attention TO good seeds
The grading Of seed corn Is some
thing new for this part OF Oklahoma
and Mr.. Fash is creating quite an in

] en- ReasonsWh y
You Should Send for
the Brooks
Rupture Appliance.

1 1t is absolutely the only APP
pliance of the kind on the market
today, and in it are embodied the
principles that inventors have sought
after for years
.. The Appliance for retaining
the rupture cannot be thrown out OF
position
3. Being an air cushion of soft
rubber it clings closely to the body,
yet never blisters or causes irritation.
4. Unlike the ordinary so-called
pads, used in other trusses, it is not
cumbersome or Ingainly.
5. 1t is small, soft and pliable, and
positively cannot be detected through
the clothing.
8. The soft, pliable bands hold
ing the Appliance do not give one
the unpleasant sensation of wearing
a harness.
J. There is nothing about it to
get foul, and when it becomes soiled
it can be washed without lnjurlng It
in the least.
8. There are no metal springs in
the Appliance to torture one by cut
ting and bruising the flesh.
9. All of the material Of which
the Appliances are made is Of the
very best that money can buy, max
ing it durable and safe Appliance
to wear.
10. My reputation for honesty and
fair dealing is thoroughly established
by an experience of over thirty years
of dealing with the public, and my
prices are SO reasonable, my terms
SO fair. that there certainly should
be no hesitancy in sending the free
coupon today.

faction to You.

No other rupture appliance,
truss, lock, device, pad, or plaster
is offered to the public on such
terms and under such a Euaran-
tee as the Brooks Rupture APP
pliance.
II for any reason Uhaseoer you
do not wish to keep the Brooks
Appliance after You try 1t, NIL you
have to do Is to send Il back. You
don't have to give any reason. you
don't have to write us why, you
don't have to send to Us for any
return Instructions or labels.
There will be no argument, no
dispute, no Misunderstanding
you will find that doing business
with Brooks Is Just like doing

Brings Instant Relief,
Perfect Safety
and Everlasting Comfort

The Brooks Rupture Appliance
Is beyond question the most uni
versally endorsed appliance Of any
kind In the world for the reten-
ton and cure Of 4 ruptured con-
dition In men, women and chill
dren.
1t II the result of more than 80
years experience and the percent
age Of actual cures effected by its
use II q little short Of miraculous.
Tho Brooks Appliance has SO
many imitators, that II Is never
sold in drug, stores, or in any
other way than by mail, direct
from the maker. This Is further
necessary because every Brooks
Appliance In especially made and
fitted for the case for which it is
intended.
Many hundreds Of Physicians
and Surgeons, recommend the
Brooks Appliance and condemn
trusses N more harmful than nl-
most any other method Of retain
ing OF treating rupture.
You may mot think that a rup-
ture appliance can ever be truly
. scOmf0rtnble'1-bu that Is because
you have never tried Brooks.
