The feed is the important part of the drill, we might say the 'heart of the drill. Some drills have heart failure, but not the Hoosier. This feed is a Positive Force Feed. It will sow uniformly at all times, and under all conditions, a thing that other feeds, whether they are called "force feeds0 or not, will not do. Another advantage pos sessed by the Hoosier is, its feed does not crack the seed. This is the principal objection farmers have to drills, and it has bun successfully overcome in the Hoosier. The Hoosier is light draft and is in every way a practical drill. SEND FOR HOOSIER CATALOGUE. W. H. MILLER. 10th and Main Stt. Agent For eighty-fifth year.

Because you have contracted ordi nary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not for a moment Imagine that colds are not dangerous. Everyone knows that pneumonia and chonlc catarrh have their origin In a common cold. Con sumption is not caused by a cold but the cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodgment, it Is the same with all Infectious diseases. Diptherla, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough are much more likely to be contracted when the child has a cold. You will see from this that more real danger lurks In a cold than In any other of the common ailments. The easiest and quickest way to cure a cold Is to take Chamberlain's Cough remedy. The many remarkable cures effected by this preparation have made It a staple article of trade over a large part of the world. For sale by Huntley Bros. Co., Oregon City and Molalla.
