H. B.Geer tells of a farmer who once said: "I don't
believe in your book learning, study and all that; I'd
rather learn by experience." He did. That man a
couple of years later lost out as a farmer and moved
to town, where he made a very poor living working
by the day and doubtless working for men who stud
ied and read and thought about their business, and
applied in it, as far as practicable, that which they
had learned from books, periodicals and the experi
ence of others given therein. It is the men who read;
the men who study; the thoughtful men who support
the farm journals. They are the men who read books
and papers on agriculture, fruitgrowing, poultry cult
ure and bee-keeping. They are the men who stand
in the front rank; the leaders in their respective com
munities. These men have found that it pays to
read and study on any subject in which they are in
terested and apply their knowledge in their everyday
work.

A WAY OPEN.
Many an Independence Reader
Knows It Well.
There is a way to convince the
irrMtpKt Bkentlc. Scores of Indepen
dence people have made it possible.
The public statement or tneir experi
ence is proof the like of which has
never been produced before in Inde
pendence. Read this case of it giv
en by a citizen:
Zed Rosendorf, merchant, Main St.,
Independence, Ore., says: "For ten
years I was troubled with kidney
complaint and finally became so bad
that r nm a fnrpert tn walk In a StOOD-
ed position. My kidneys were dis
ordered and on account of the fre
quency of the secretions, I was
forced to arise almost constantly in
the night. Often I would have to
sit up, not being able to lie in any
comfortable position. Aiy nmDs De
nama ownllpn nnrl there wrh a nuffi-
ness beneath mv eyes. I doctored
and tried everything but received no
relief until I finally heard of Doan's
Kidney Pills. They helped me from
the first, and I am today free from
Kidney complaint. I believe there is
nothing in the world for kidney trou
ble equal to Doan's Kidney Pills."
