seen that they are offering a

oats on 25 acres. That will be
a nice little pick up for some-
body and ought to be an induce-
ment for a good many to put
their land in extra good condi-

nothing to lose by the effort, for
the increased yield would more
than pay for the extra labor in-
volved. The acreane in oats
this spring ought to be a large
one.

The Agricultural Demonstra-
tion Train which the Cotton Belt
sent out over the northern part
of the United States and Canada
advertising the resources along
its route in Texas and other
Southern States, returned to St.
Louis after an absence of 02 days.
During this trip, which covered
parts of eleven states and a por-
tion of Canada, more than 2200
people were entertained daily in
the exhibition cars, and litera-
ture to the amount of over 150,-
000 pieces was distributed. The
trip covered 2,743 miles and the
schedule had been so arranged
that the smaller towns, rather
than the large cities, were made
the principal stopping points of
the train, the officials of the road
holding that in this way more
desirable settlers were attracted
than is the case from the larger
places.
Ragged wounds are painful
and cause much annoyance. If
not kept clean they fester and be-
come running sores. Ballard's
Snow Liniment is an antiseptic
healing remedy for such cases.
Apply it at night before going to

bandage. It heals in a few days.
