The Demons of the Swamp are mosquitos. As they sting they put deadly malaria germs in the blood. Then follow the icy chills and the fires of fever. The appetite flies and the strength fails; also malaria often paves the way for deadly typhoid. But Electric Bitters kill and cast out the malaria germs from the blood; give you a fine appetite and renew your strength. “After long suffering,” wrote Wm. Fretwell, of Lucama, N. Ci ! , “three bottles drove all the malaria from my system, and I’ve had good health ever since.” Best for all stomach, liver and kidney ills. - 50 cents at A. F. Long’s.

Let everyone come out. , We were visited Tuesday and Tuesday night and Wednesday with a heavy rain which will put a stop to shone road building for some time, probably until the ground freezes up solid.

The change for the better came Tuesday morning, when her fever got lower than it had gone for a week.

He did not take his wife with him, as she had very poor health while there. She will remain with her mother, Mrs. Allen, for an indefinite time. John Stowers’ condition apparently is growing worse. Sunday he seemed to be improving, so much so he was able to sit up some, but since then he has been growing worse and now is unable to sit up at all, and eats scarcely nothing. His chances for recovery are very discouraging at this writing.

Mrs. Peter Holan, 11501 Buckeye Road, S. E., Cleveland, O„ had a little son with a bad case of whooping eough. She says: ‘‘He coughed until he was blue in the face.

ECONOMY IN THE BEST FEED

Nettling Gained by Purchasing Sup« piles for the Poultry Because They Are Called Cheap.

(By A. G. SYMONDS.) No matter what food is given the fowls be sure it is the very best that can be procured. It does not pay to buy poor grain or poultry food of any kind. Some people think it is economical to buy poultry supplies because they are cheap. The best is none too good, is a rule as ( applicable here as anywhere else. Only the very best grains should be sanctioned. Only \ the choicest brand of beef scraps, fine cut clover, alfalfa, and other foods of this sort should be used. There Is nothing that will repay one better for good care and food given them than a flock of hens. See to it then that in the matter of foods given them only the best be procured and only the best be fed.

SIXTY-FIVE (Private Car Excursion Nov. 12.) THREE-FIFTHS of the people who have settled the West and y °uth, according to Government statisticians, have come from within one night’s ride of Chicago. TWENTY PER CENT of the farmers in the corn belt move every year such is the large proportion of farm renters; and such is the restlessness among farmers in the older settled agricultural districts, where lands are too high priced and away out of proportion to the earnings of the soil. SO, it is not to be wondered at,that immigration of farmers, landseekers and home seekers steadily increases to the nearby Swigart Tract in the center of Michigan’s Fruit Belt, in Mason Manistee and Lake counties, where good fruits, good potatoes and and vegetables and good clover grow. S^i TY ’ FIVE i>e OPLE filled our private car on our last semimonthly excursion. We have bigger parties, sometimes requiring two cars, .but this was a very satisfactory crowd as they were all out for business, and we had a record breaker from the standpoint of sales. Weuse automobiles now to show the lands, so it enables one to see more of this great tract which with recent additions still contains over 50,000 acres.

OF THESE EXCURSIONISTS many had sought for land in other localities, but decided that this was the place to buy because ot the good selection, the desirable local markets of Ludington and Manistee with 30,000 people ou the edge of the tract, no land over 5 miles from some shipping point or town in the tract, only 170 miles to the great central market of Chicago, and rearer still to Milwaukee by steamer. Excursionists are surprised to find so many good farms, such a good showing of crops, many schools, section line roads and practically all the advantages of a fully settled country. They like the gently rolling to level lay of the land, abundance of purest water, spring-fed creeks, pretty inland lakes and easily driven wells; the plentiful rainfall and the balmfin.ess and healthfulness of the climate; enough wood for fencing, building and fuel' for years. They find every natural advantage for the new settler of moderate means to go at the businesof farming. It is a genuine opportunity and a rare one. CROPS THE COUNTRY OVER were lareg last year and larger this year, and yet food prices keep going up. The Bureau of Agriculture shows prices thus: Sept. 15, Sept’. 15, 1912. 1911. Beef cattle, per 100 lbs.s 5.35 { 4.43 Veal calves per 100 lbs 6.83 6.11 Hogs, per ”100 1b5.... 7.47 6.53 Sheep per 100 1b5.... 4.11 3.91 Lambs, per 100 1b5.... 5.49 5.02 Milch cows, each 46.79 42.23 Horses, each............ 141.00 139.00 Wool, unwashed, per lb 18.7 c 15.6 c Milk, per ga110n?....... 22.5 c 21.6 c Apples per bushel.,... .62 .70 Cabbage, per 100 lbs.. 1.25 1.94 Onions, per bushel 89 1.04 These prices make people want to get on the producing, selling and money-making side of the fence, instead of being on the consuming, buying and losing side.
