Cured of severe compound gold and cough by Free Seed Corn. — Why not quit raising “scrub’’ corn? | Why not plant enough pure bred seed this spring to supply you for the fu- ture? There is as much difference between “‘scrub” corn and pure bred corn as there is between a “‘scrub”’ steer anda pure bred steer. bred corn will produce a much larger yield per acre than ordinary seed. Until further notice, the Farmer and Breeder, published at Columbia, Mo., will give away free a quart of pure bred seed corn with every new sub- scription. A quart will plant a quar- ter of anacre and give you all the pure seed you need for future use. The Farmer and Breeder is a big monthly and costs only 50c per year. It is published in the~home of Mis- souri’s great Agricultural College and every issue is full of articles by Agri- cultural experts on the raising of all kinds of Farm Crops, the Care and Feeding of Live Stock, Dairying, Fruit Growing, Fertilizing the Soil, Poultry Raising and every other farm subject. Any single issue is worth the price. Every ounce of this seed corn will be tested by seed experts before it is sent out. You can have either a yellow or white variety. This advertisement is appearing in hun- dreds of newspapers and our supply of seed will soon be exhausted. So send or leave your subscription at once at the office of The Times, But- ler, Mo., which will forward it to us. 16-4t. : Half an hour is al! che time re- quired to dve sn article with PUTNAM FADELESS DYES, Any one can do it, as simply boiling the goods with the dye is all that is necessary, Probate Court Docket February Ternt 1910.

Farmer and Stockman You do not need the gift of a prophet to see that hay will bring good prices before spring. Those who have half their feed and hay on February Ist, this year are few and far between, One thing that may be noticed in communities where silos have been in use for some time is that the new ones are smaller in diameter and are Ihe was about right However, it seems to me that here isa place where a combination should work well to- gether. The meat boycott was started at about the proper time because the supply this year is limited and the prospects are, that unless the prices for live stock reach a plane where they can remain reasonably steady the supply will be limited for some time. There are very few who care to repeat the experience of feeding a built higher than the older ones. A few years ago a great many farm- ers laughed at the idea of testing ev- ery ear of corn before accepting it as good, but the idea is spreading and |those who have tried it hardly ever go back to the old method of testing a few kernels after the seed is shell- ed and then’ regulating the plates in the planter according to the results. The new way may be classed as book farming, but it is a great help in get- ting an even stand of corn, We are hearing a great deal about the conservation of our forests and other natural resources. So much noise is being made that the average person is liable to think that it is more a question of conservation of poli- ticians than of natural resources. The largest ear of corn that we have heard from, especially from the standpoint of number of kernels, has been reported by Mr. George Brown, of Benton county, Iowa. It weighed one and one-half pounds and produc- ed 1,303 kernels, though it is but ten inches long and eight and one-half inches in circumference. One of my chicken friends claims he has a hen which struck 265 times last year, When eggs are nestling pretty close to the four-cent mark a hen of that sort is a money maker. I could never induce my hens to cackle that many times a year for me. I had always supposed that ground bone was a mighty good thing for chickens until I heard an experienced poultryman say that he had lost more valuable birds by feeding it than from any other one source. He believes in feeding the granulated bone. A popular eastern magazine points out how one lone congressman has sent 27,000 packages of “‘select’’ seeds to his home in Indiana. The postoffice department received no payment for this service of trans- portation. The packages will again be distributed by mail and at a large expense to the postoffice department. Every congressman is permitted to send out 20,000 packages of vegeta- ble seeds and 2,000 packages of flow- er seeds, This we are told means 3,600 sacks or 270,000 pounds of seeds on which postage is eight cents per pound to the ordinary citizen. It has been estimated that it would cost any business house or private individual $144,000 to mail the seeds that con- gressmen can send through the mail for nothing. -In my limited experience with bunch of hogs or cattle only to find at the end of the feeding period that the prices are so low that they have noth- ing left for their work. Those who do their farming when the signs of the moon and stars are right, will have a new thing to con- tend with this summer and that is the comet. Perhaps, if they can read the signs of the comet right they will be able to raise some wonderful crops during the Coming season. It is.certainly a fair exchange to| take outa load of manure when you go after a load of fodder. It makes it right with the land for taking all the growth off. Spreading manure by hand, after using a spreader, seems just like try- ing to jerk the arms out of the shoul- der sockets for nothing. It reminds a fellow of walking backwards ona moving sidewalk. 6 Beautiful Teaspoons Free.

Address all orders to Farm Progress, St. Louis, Mo. 15-2m Condition and Prospects of Fruit | Some of your readers want to know the prospect for fruit. I never saw the prospect better for tree fruit than | at present. The peach buds are more | likely to be killed by frost than most) other fruits, but they are at present in condition to endure 12 degrees be- | low zero; and at present the freezing | at night keeps the buds back. | I believe we will have, under ordi- | nary conditions, four chances out of | five to have a peach crop this year. Apples, nine out of ten trees had rest, and last fall the weather was favora- ble at the time trees formed fruit; buds. Again, had it been wet in late} fall, it would have raised the sap in| trees and advanced fruit buds, and | they would not have endured much | poultry-I have discovered that some hens lay and other hens lie. A suc- cessful poultryman has to know who’s who and what’s what in his poultry yard. The layersare the money mak- ers, the ‘‘liers’’ should be allowed to lie upon the butcher’s counter. 10th dayjMarch. Erwin John RB et al ALErwin W G Shafer TW Arnold JdnoC Hayes Having to buy corn is no signs of a poor farmer—if there is stock on the farm to convert it into profit. Rath- er, it is the sign of good farming. A poor milk cow can look like good one, proving the old sayii wages ta this ring, last i fii _ 2 cold. The cold weather and ice on) trees, some people thought, injured fruit, but it was a benefit, as it killed | insects and funguns on the trees. | The same is true of pears, plums, cherries and other tree fruits. Small Fruit—Strawberries—the late summer was too dry to grow plants this year’s crop. I predict about 40 per cent ofacrop. The same is true of bush fruits. It was too dry to grow cane or stalks.

BOULLIOUN. R. F. L. BOULLIOUN, 2618 State St., Little Rook, Ark., writes: “I bave been a sufferer with the asth- ma for about four years, and I tried different kinds of medicines and could not find any relief for it. “I tried your medicines, bought a bot- tle of Peruna, and after taking about half of itI must say that I have not had theasthma since, Before I took the med- icine I did not know what it was to go to bed without having the asthma.” Systemic Catarrh. Mr, Samuel Burden, 701 Springfield Ave., Summit, N. J., writes: “In the fall of 1900 I had repeated attacks of cold, which developed into systemic catarrh, ‘ “It left me very weak and all ran down, When I got up in the morning it would take about an hour to get my head and throat clear, “It also left me with a very weak, all-gpne, empty feeling in my stomach, which I thought was dyspepsia, for | Weak and All which I tried dif- Run Down, ferent remedies with very little improvement, “I finally decided to give Peruna a trial. I felt benefited with the first dose, After taking three bottles IT was en- tirely cured. I cannot speak in too high terms of your wonderful discov- ery, Peruna.” Pernna is mannfactured by the Peruua Drag Mfg. Co,, Columbus, Ohio, ‘USE THE ROAD DRAG,’ HE SAYS. Advice to Counties That Can’t Afford Rock Roads. K. ©. Times. George B. Ellis, secretary of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture, urged the county engineers attending the annual convention here to adopt the dragging method to improve dirt roads, where county funds will not make rock roads possible. “The dirt road drag is purely a Missouri institution,” Mr. Ellis said. “Tt is used extensively in many parts of the state and where it is impossi- ble to construct rock roads at a rea- sonable cost it should be adopted.” The law under which the county highway engineers were appointed was defended by Mr. Ellis as the best means to secure good roads at the least possible cost to the property owners. He said that county courts and engineers could be made to co- \operate by means of a campaign of education. Whenever a good piece of road work is completed, he said the engineers should call the atten- tion of the farmers to the cost and to the materia] used. “If there is a highway engineer who can’t show results in two years —his term of office—he should be defeated for re-election,’ Mr. Ellis said. “Every engineer should pre- pare plans for the constructton of good roads in every part of hig coun- ty and much of his success of the new road law lies within his power to make.” é With Curtis Hill, state highway en- gineer, Mr. Ellis is speaking for the adoption of the amendment to be vot- ed upon next fall. This is to for state road help, a tax of five cents spent by the state, the county in which it is apportioned must appro- priate a similar amount. . ——_______ i
