Where there is a county fair the boys' exhibit should be shown there. If no fair should be held in a county, the boys' exhibit should be collected in the court house or some other public place easy of access. A good exhibit by a boys'club may lead to the establishment of a countyfair. Exhibits by local clubs at school houses stimulate the work and give fine opportunities for general instruction. Although the clubs may atart with corn, the development r naturally leads to exhibits of other farm and garden crops. Results. The object of the boys' deinonstral tion work is the same as that among men, namely, better methods of farming and greater yields. Many of the boys in the clnbs who begin to study agriculture in this way will | [-' ' continue the study in the agricultural colleges, others will contiuue i I such efforts on their farms, and all < i ji 1 of them will make more usenu unci ' Plant Wood's Seeds 0 For Superior Crops ?

Nervous Collapse "I have traveled for thirty j years continually. I lost a great i deal of sleep, which together with constant worry left me in such a nervous state that finally, after having two collapses of j nervous prostration, I was i obliged to give up traveling altogether. I doctored continually but with no relief. Dr. Miles' Nervine came to my rescue?I cannot describe the suffering which this Nervine saved me. Whenever I am particularly nervous a few doses relieve me." A. G. C. LIBBY, Wells, Me. There are many nervous wrecks.
