Some of the farmers of this section have plowed all of their stubble lands, getting it in condition for another crop. We are glad to see this work being done, as it shows that the farmers are taking more interest in his work and that they desire to produce better crops. This work is being done by the farmers who read agricultural literature, or those who are influenced by those who do read such literature. We find that many farmers are opposed to each work and sav that scientific or ? book farming will not do, and for that reason they do not care to take up any time in reading agricolturai papers and book3. ' Our advice would be for every farmer to read all first class agricultural literature that be can. If be does not care to follow the advice given, it will arouse him and cause him to have a desire to do better. Lloyd. Dec. 14, 1903. For Over Sisty Years.

J has to give up the fight I iJ* when starvation weakens j i| it. There are more deaths from starvation than the world dreams of. When the stomach is dis eased and the food eaten is not digested and assimilated, then the strength of the body begins to fail because of lack of nutrition, and the weak body falls an easy victim to the microbes of disease. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It restores physical strength in the only Dossible way, by enabling the assimila Son of the nutrition contained in food. "I was sick for over three years with a complication of stomach troubles," writes Mr. John H. Castona, residing at 2942 Arch St., Chicago, Illinois. "Had tried every good physican I knew of, as well as many patent medicines, but received only temporary relief. One day a friend recommended your ' Golden Medical Discovery.' I immediately procured some and began its use. Commenced to gain the first week, and after I had taken only one bottle I could eat as well as any one without experiencing ill effects. I took hve bottles, and to-day am happy to announce that I am as well and* heaithy as anv one could be. I owe it all to Dr. Pierce's Goldeu Medical Discovery."
