COHEN STORE, — “THE STORE THAT MAKES GOOD.” ") ACHES AN) UBUTT » All excellent illustration of inten sified agriculture is given to Bolton Hall’s book, 'Three Acres and Liberty.” It is as follows. "The following result was obtained on a four-acre patch near Norfolk, Va.: The owner stated that in September last he sowed spinach on four acres. Between Christmas and the first of March following, he cut and sold the spinach at the rate of 100 barrels to the acre, at a price ranging from $2 to $7 per barrel, an average of $4.50 per barrel. Early in March the four acres were set out in lettuce, setting the plants in the open air with no protection whatever, 175,Olio plants on the four acres. He shipped 450 half barrel baskets of lettuce to the acre, as a price ranging from $2 to $2.75 per basket. "Early in April, just before the lettuce was re ady to ship, he plant ed snap beans between the lettuce rows; and to-day, June 2, these are the finest beans we have seen this season. Owner says he will have 150 half-barrel baskets to the acre; but we think he will surely have nearer 25o. However, 150 will be enough, for he will sell the same for from $1 up to $2 per basket; perhaps even higher. The last week in May he planted canteloupes between the bean rows, which, marketed it. July, will make four crops from the same land in one year’s time. I ho cante loupes will Ik‘ good for 250 crates to the acre and the price will run from $1 to $1.50 a crate. A careful inves tigation of these facts, figures ' and features will show that his gross sales will easily reach $2,tM»0 per acre: his net profits depend largely upon the man and the management; but they surely should rot be less than $1,000 clear, clean profit to the acre. "This is for farming done all out of doors. No hot-bed work, not a bit of it, with no extra expense for hot beds, cold frames or hothouses.” The same methods, applied at a time varied according to the lati tude, with a proper observance of the condition and needs of the soil, will produce simmilar results almost anywhere in the United States. Think it over—Illustrated com panion. RESOLUTIONS.

I flung a stone as he t wittered there; I only meant to give, him a scare, But.off it went-and hit him square. A little flutter-a little cry - Then on the ground 1 saw- him lie; I didn’t think he was jjoing to die. But as I watched him I soon could see He never would sing for you and me Any more on the apple tree. Never more in the morning light. Never more in the sunshine bright, Trilling his song in gay delight.

COHEN STORE REMEMBER, we have a little proposition , for mem- bers of the “Farmers’ Union,” which is very interest ing as a money saver. Rheumatic Pains “My mother is a great suf ferer from rheumatism, and Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills is the only remedy that relieves her.’* MRS. G. DAVENPORT, Roycefield, N. J. The pains of rheumatism are almost invariably relieved with Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. They also overcome that nervous irri tation which prevents sleep be cause they soothe the nerves. To chronic suffers they are invalu able. When taken as directed, they relieve the distress and save the weakening influence of pain, which so frequently pros trates. Many sufferers us^them whenever occasion requires with the greatest satisfaction, why not you? They do not derange the stomach nor create a habit. Why not try them? Get a pack age from your druggist. Take it according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money.
