A THOROUGH TEST
One Ia Convince the Most Skeptieal
Mexieo Reaaer.

The test Of time is the test that
counts.
Deans Kidney Pills have made their
reputation BY effective action.
The following case is typical.
Mexico residents should be con-
WINGED.
The testimony is confirmed - the
proof complete.
Testimony like this cannot be ig-
nored.
Edward Dermody, Clark avenue,
Mexico, says; Two years ago ! was
suffering from irregularity Of my
kidneys and sharp pains in my sides. ]
had headaches, too. ] used Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured at Llewellyn &
Sons Drug Store. and was voc cured
of kidney trouble"
The above statement was given on
November Is, 1911, and on June IL,
1916, Mr.. Dermody said: Il have never
been bothered by the kidney COM
plant since recommending Doan's
kidney Pills in 1911. l still think
highly Of Doan's and indorse them
just as strongly today as / did before"
Price 60e, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney PillS-the same that
Mr.. Dermedy had. Foster-Milburn

One Of Wednesdays late sales on
the ST. Louis market that deserves
special mention was a consignment of
yearling steers brought in by Buck
ner Bros, of Audrain county, No.
There were 25 head weighing 1926 lbs,
in the drove, and they cleared at
$3.50, the days best price for that
class Of cattle.
When Buckner Bros. start feeding
cattle, it IS a sure indication that the
animals viii belong to the top class.
J. n. Buckner fed the yearlings on
corn and Purina Fatcna molasses feed
and was well pleased with the results.
They have been on feed for several
months, but the feeding for finish was
not started until about forty days age.
The yearlings made very good gains.
J. T. Buckner was also on the market
and said the prospects for a banner
c%ropryield in Audrain county were up
set by the dry weather. Wheat, he
said, is about the only grain that
yielded anyway decent.-Live Stock

Potato Pens Prove Dismal
FaiIure-Did Not Produce
. Their Seed, Christie Says

Last year people all over the country
were building potato "pens." Some
body, somewhere, it was said, had
raised enough potatoes to last an or
dinary family whole year in an open
work box eight feet square. The box
was filed with soil and seed potatoes
in the spring, and that was all there
was to it. The vines grew out through
the cracks all around, and the bin
was full of good t-bers in the fall. Fine
business it was. ..
The only trouble with this grand
scheme was that it didn't work. Pro-
fessor Christie of Purdue university
says that in Indiana most of these sky
scraper potato gardeners didn't get
back their seed. OF 40 pens tried in
Indianapolis, according to City Garden
Supervisor Osborne, not one succeeded.
Experiments by the United States
department of agriculture were equally
disappointing. In a potato pen at
Washington 20 pounds Of seed were
planted and eight pounds Of potatoes
were harvested. The ''barrel" plan
was just as bad. The crop from two
barrels weighed less than two pounds.
1t doesn't pay to be mossback, of
course, but 1t does pay to stick to ap-
proved methods of farming.-Farm
