A Word to Our Farmer Friends.

A manure spreader is a sure remedy for hard times. Evjery wide-awake farmer will plan to make up some of the losses sustained by reason'of the ruinous slump in prices of farm produce last fall. One of the easiest and surest ways to do this is to encrease the QUALITY and quantity of his crops. The farmer who had a spreader last year, and used it, got as mubb again .money out of the use of the same amount of manure as the man did who had no machine and spread the old way, and as a matter of course he had much more good cobn. In short, the men who bad spreaders and used them are about the only men who have good oom this year. Investigate this assertion and it will be found to be true. That barnyard manure is the best crop-producer, when properly applied, none will dispute. That machine spreading produces best results none but the uninformed will deny. Buy a manure spreader, it will increase your corn cr<jp> qO per cent in quality and 83 per cent quantity. There are very few machines made with which you oan know what you are spreading to the acre. This feature is of the utmost importauoe. With my machine you know exactly what amount you are spreading. If

you want six loads, set the lever, and you get six, not eight. Any of the machines will spread too much, very few will spread too little After spreading by hand almost every new beginner, being used to seeing the manure so thick on the ground, puts on too much by machine. This is a fatal mistake! You buy the machine so that you can turn all the manure into corn, hay or grain the year you spread it. That is where it makes you money. To do this the manure must be spread thin and thoroughly torn to pieces. One hundred loads—and most farmers have more than that—of manure spread with my machine will put enough' on 16| acres of of ground to double a grass crop, or to add from 10 to 20 bushels of corn to the acre, and all of good quality. This same 100 loads if spread by band would not cover more than four or five acres. A big increase from 12 acres is there fore obtained by using a machine over hand spreading and with the same amount of manure and half labor and time. Buy a manure spreader for cash if you oan, on time if you must, while they are sold at the old price. I sell the best spreader in Rensselaer. Come in and let me prove it to you. C. A. ROBERTS.

Neuralgia Pains Are the result of an abnormal condition of the more prominent nerve branches, caused by congestion, irritation, or disease. If you want to relieve the pain try Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They often relieve when everything else fails. They leave no disagreeable after-effects. Just a pleasurable sense of relief. Try them. “I have neuralgia headache right over my eyes, and I am really afraid that my eyes will burst. I also have neuralgia j?aln around my heart. I have been taking Dr. Miles’ Anti* Pain Pills recently and find they relieve these troubles quickly. I seldom find it necessary to take more than two tablets for complete relief.” MRS. KATHERINE BARTON 1117 Valley St, Carthage, Mo. *T have awful spells of neuralgia and have doctored a great deal without getting much benefit. For the last two years I have been taking Dr. Mlles* Anti. Pain Pills and they always relieve me. I have been so bad with neuralgia that I sometimes thought I would go crazy. Sometimes It is necessary to take two of them, but never more and they are sure to relieve me." MRS. FERRIER, 2434 Lynn St, Lincoln, Neb.
