ot Coughing Today?| Yet you may cough tomorrow! Better be prepared for it when it comes. Ask your doctor about keeping Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral in the house. Then when the hard cold or cough first appears you have a doctor’s medicine at hand. Your doctor’s approval of its use will certainly set all doubt at rest. Do as he says. He knows. No alcohol in this cough medicine. JC AyerCo., Lowell, Mass. Robust health is a great safeguard against attacks of throat and lung but constipation will destroy the best of health. Ask your doctor about Ayer’s Pills. 2 FARMERS BANK | OF BATES cCoUNTY. | ] Homer Duvall, Cashier, H. H. Lisle, Asst.

The other day I saw a forerunner | lot spring sitting in front of a black-| smith’s shop. It was a dull disc har-| row there to be sharpened. It is bet-| ter for you and for the 'smith, too, to | take such work in so it can be done} before the spring rush. It is also a good plan to take the teeth out of your smoothing harrow, throw them in a gunny sack, and take them down to the ’smith to be sharpened. You do more execution with the same power when the har- row teeth are sharp. Last week my telephone was out of sorts and wouldn’t work. This, more than anything else, set me to wonder- ing how I could get along without a ‘phone. It seemed like pulling teeth just to lose the service for a day. Buy, borrow or hire a fanning mill and use it this year. Use it whether you think it necessary or not, for no grain comes from a separator so clean that a fanning mill will not make it} cleaner. You'll be surprised at how dirty the cleanest is. Aman can be worse off than to have hogs and no corn to feed them, he can have corn and no hogs to eat | it, and, worse yet, have neither hogs | nor corn, The man with a thrifty | bunch of shoats, and corn enough to | make them weigh ‘“‘two-fifty,’’ should not complain about hard times, except | the hard time he has keeping the buy- | ers away who want those shoats. The ‘‘spread’’ between the price of corn-fed cattle and good coming- two’s is not as great as it used to be. | One of my neighbors recently ship- | ped steers out of his feed lot, for which he got $6.20, and brought back coming-two’s to take their place, pay- ing for than $5. It seems to me he hasn’t got ‘‘spread”” enough to work on, but the quality of his purchase may help him out. I can remember when it took a mighty good cow to bring $15. My father once brought some fine grade Short-horns for an average of $14 each. But it took just as many bush- els of corn then to buy a cowas it does now. You see there are two} ways of figuring on the price. Winter oats appeal to me as a crop that can be developed into one of; great popularity. I wish the experi- | ment stations would take hold of this | crop with more interest than they do, | especially along the border of what is | now called the safety line for winter | oats. By experimenting, breeding | and working with it, I believe winter oats could, in time, be made as hardy as winter wheat. Why not? Some folks are crying for rock roads and overlooking the opportu- nities before them for improving the dirt grade.

Let him undertake to use itas a beverage, or take this remedy in doses considerably larger than those on the bottle. Would the result be alcoholic intoxication? Nothing ofthe sort.

Ifany one doubts these state- ments, try it and see. We know that Peruna cannot be used as a bever- age; that it will not intoxicate; that it cannot be used as a substitute for mors. We guarantee that PERUNA CONTAINS NO CHEAP WHISKEY ANY OTHER WHISKEY, for that matter. It contains a small per cent. of cologne spirits, absolutely essential to dis- eolve and hold in solution medicinal ingredients, but the drugs contained in Peruna prohibit its use as a beverage.
