JIlL,
KawU, Minn. —“I am glad to aag
that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound haa done
more for me than
anything else, and I
| had the best physi-
cian here. I was so
weak and nervous
that I could not do
my work and suf-
fered with pains low
down in my right
side for a year or
more. I took Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vege-
table Compound, and now I feel like a
different person. I believe there ia
nothing like Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege-
table Compound for weak women and
young girls, and I would be glad if I
could influence anyone to try the medi-
cine, for I know it will do all and macb
more than it is claimed to do.” — lira,

crest Farm, Kasota, Minn.

Backache Is a Warning
Thousands suffer kidney Ills unawares—
not knowing that the beekache, headaches
and dull, nervous, dizzy, all tired condi-

alone. Anybody who suffers constantly
from backache should suspect the kidneys.
Some Irregularity of tbe secretions may
give Just tbe needed proof. Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills have been curing backaohe and
sick kidneys for over fifty years.

He Is Perfectly Satisfied, and
Tails of His Neighbors Who
Have Dons Well.
Walter Harris, formerly lived near
Julietta In Warren township, Indiana.
He now lives at Hnaear, Alberta. Ia
writing to his home paper in Indiana,
he Bays that the failure Is the man
who always blames the country. He
fails to see his own mistakes, hae
missed his calling and is not fitted
tor farming. The two seasons just
past have been entirely different. In
1913 plenty of rain came In June and
a g-»** crop followed, but the fall was
dry and but little snow in the winter
followed by a very dry summer, and a
short crop. Only those that bad
farmed their land properly were able
to meet expenses.
For example, lest year the Crow-
foot Farming Company, south of
here, threshed from 1,250 acres 88,-
D00 bushels of wheat. One-half section
made 26 bushels, the poorest of all.
This year on 1,350 acres they threshed
nearly 26,000 bushels. Last year's
crop sold at 76 cents from their own
elevator. What they have sold of
this year’s crop brought $1.00 at
threshing time. Eight thousand bush-
els unsold would bring now around
81.25. The manager and part owner
was raised in Ohio and farmed in
Washington several years. He and
hie wife spent last winter in Ohio.
She told me a few days ago that the
climate here was much better than
Ohio.
A man by the name of George Clark
threshed 75 bushels of oats, 45 bush-
els of barley and 35 bushels of wheat
to the acre. He had 15,000 bushels of
old oats as well as wheat and barley
in his granaries that have almost
doubled In price. He came from
Washington, where he sold a large
body of land around $200 that he
bought around $3.00 per acre. He then
refers to a failure. A large company
in tbe eastern states, owning a large
farm near Hussar pays its manager
83,000 a year. The farm has not
been a success. Probably the man-
ager’s fault Mr. Harris says condi-
tions are not as good as could be
wished for, but on the ending of the
war good crops, with war prices, will
certainly change conditlona, and It
seems to me that the one who owns
land that will raise 100 bushels of
oats, 75 bushels of barley or 40 bush-
els of wheat is the one who "laughs
last”
The above yields may seem exag-
gerations to many, and are far above
the average, but you should remember
that the man who fails is counted In
to make the average, and there are
Instances on record here that would
far exceed the above figures.
Nor Is grain the only profitable
thing that cam be raised here. There
are many fine horse ranches, soRje of
them stocked with cayuses and bred
to thoroughbreds, and others import-
ed from the old countries. They run
on the range nearly all the year. The
owners put up wild hay to feed them
if the snow should get too deep for
them to get the dead grass. There
are several hundred in sight of here
most of the time. There are several
cattle ranches north of here that have
from 500 to 7,000 head of cattle. One
man I know sold $45,000 worth of fat
cattle this fall. He winters his cat-
tle on farms where they have lots of
straw and water, paying 75 cents
month per head, or if there is enough
straw to winter 400 or 500 head they
buy the straw and water and nave
man to look after tae cattle.—Adver-
tisement.

Their Pint Breakfast
Always in the Making.
In one of George Macdonald’s books
occurs this fragment of conversation:
“I wonder why God made me,” said
Mrs. Faber, bitterly. “I’m sure I don’t
know what was the use of making
me.”
“Perhaps not much yet,” replied
Dorothy; “but then he hasn’t done
with you yet. He is making you now,
and you don’t like it.”
It would give us more patience with
ourselves if we always remembered
this. We would not get so discour-
aged with our infirmities, imperfec-
tions and failures if we always kept
In mind the fact that we are not yet
made, that we are only in process of
being made, that God Is not yet
through making ub. . . .—Rev. J. R.
