It would pay you to enter this contest even if no prize money was offered, but to encourage you to enter, prizes will be given that are far above any that haw*! ever been offered in' this state. I am sending you the rules which will govern the contest. This contest would not have been possible except tha* several members of the Colum bia Chamber of Comrmrce have subscribed the prize money. In n<* way can you better show your ap preciation of this kindness than by making entries of your butter, mi ! k and cream. Chief Bawl of the Dairy- Division of the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture has promised to send one of his most expert men to judge the classes, and. therefore, you- will be sure to have an impartial judg ment of your products. While we have advanced very much in the yield of dairy products, the quality of these products is far below what it should be. There is no better way to learn how to improve the quality than to have your product judged by an expert, and have him point out the defects. Therefore 1 would urge you to make application for entry blanks at once. ; Yours truly J. M. Burgess. YOUTH S COMPANION AS A GIFT. When you make a present of a periodical to a friend or a family you are really selecting a companion I to intluenee them for good or ill dur ing a whole year. If the acquaint ances of your sons and daughters were to talk to them aloud as some | periodicals t&lk to them silently, how quickly would you forbid the com-! panionship! In the one case as in the other, the l>est course is to supplant 1 the injurious with something equally attractive and at the same time "worth while.” A food can be, wholesome and utterly distasteful.! Resiling can Ik* made so, too. But The Youth’s Companion not only nourishes the mind, but delights it, just like that ideal human associate whom you would chisme. The Youth's Companion tills that place now in more than half a million j homes, (an you not think of another family in which it is not now known where it would he joyfully welcomed? If the $1.To for the 1910 volume is sent now, the new subscriber will be entitled to The Companion’s “Vene tian” calendar for 1910, lithographed in thirteen colors and gold.

Cleveland, O. “My little daughter who was afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance is now- entirely well after taking Dr. Miles’ Nervine onlv four months.” MRS. C. G. BENNETT, Alma, Mich. Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus’ Dance and Spasms, are all nerv ous diseases. They have been Cured in so many instances with Dr. Miles’ Nervine that it is reasonable to conclude that it is almost sure to cure you. With nervous diseases of a severe type, persistent use has almost invariably resulted in a complete cure or lasting benefits, worth many times the cost of the rem edy. The best evidence you can get of its merits is to write to those who have used it. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all according to directions, aad if it does not benefit he will ro* tarn your money. 'V -L a! * ' ^ ) A. . A*. 1 ' ; . V
