Fred Achilles, Salem) Oregon Thcro is no doubt in my mind that alfalfa can bo grown aa a profitable crop in West ern Oregon, and oven on tho tido lands. Last year I had alfalfa four feet high that was sown eight yoara ago. Alto gcther I havo about 3Q acres in alfalfa. I turn off 100 hogs each, year, fattening them on green nlfnlfa and dry meal, and tho butchers1 to whom I sell my pork alj say that it has a flavor not found in pork fed other feeds. Land sown In June will the next May pro duco throe tons of alfalfa to the acre, loaving splondid pasturo for stock. Cows turned on green .ilfalfa givo 5 to 0 quarts more milk per duy. Dairymen say they prefer nlfnlfa liny to any other for dry feed. Somo of my best alfalfa stands on land that is .overflowed in I winter 0 to 8 feet. Success With Grapes. A.

To reply intelligently to .well questions moans n great study of tile seasons. To study the subject means to hnve enlightened individual around us on that mutter. To have enlightened individual strewn throughout a com munity will mean n gradual spreading of this knowledge, since it 1 well known that to want to tell what you know is the cosiest hnl.it for mankind to indulge.

' From the pure fountain of nature flows the stream of energy and health, which renews and invigorates our raoF In every period of the world's progress men nave received their greatest strength and inspiration Et from nature. It is the greatest teachy and developer of mankind. Not only do we get inspiration from nature, but health as well. To live m the open, in the sunshine, in the fields or woods, drinking pure air into the lungs, is best for those who have the opportunity. For people who ore run-down, nervous, suffering from occasional indigestion or dyspepsia, headaches, night-sweat. whose machinery has become worn, it becomes necessary to turn to some tonic or strengthener which will help them to get on their feet and put the body into its proper condition. For cen turies it has been known that nature's most valuable health-giving agents are roots, herbs, barks and ber ries, and some forty years ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., found a combina tion of roots, herbs and barks, taken from the fields and woods and made into an alterative extract, pro duced results in the system which was satisfactory in almost every case of blood disorder and- stomach trouble. This concentrated extract of nature's vitality purifies the blood by putting the stomach into healthy condition, helping the assimilation of food which feeds the blood, and putting the liver into activity. Nervousness and sleeplessness are usually due to the fact that the nerves are not on properly nounsueu ukwu, t. " wiu aicuiuu discovery makes rii.ii MnnA nnd thereby all the orcans of the bodv are run smoothie ill machinery which runs in oil. In this way you feel clean, strong and- strenne: n,i fi.i hraeml nn. and vou are pood for a whole lot of ohvslcal or mntAi Best of all, the strength and increase in vitality nnd health are lasting. The troi with most tonics and medicines which have a large sale for a short time is I they are largely composed of alcohol holding the drugs in solution. This slco! fairly shrinks up the red blood corpuscles, ana so one may feel exhilarated better for the time being, yet in the end weakened and with vitality decra Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery docs not contain alcohol. The proof is tw Distill a little in a glass retort and see for yourself. Every bottle of Dr. EtntX Golden Medical Discovery oears tne stamp o; puouc approval. For the druggisU oner you sometning ne claims is " iusi as goou " is 10 insuu your intelligence. 1 you want is a remedy without alcohol, and one which has stood the test of time. "It is with pleasure that I give my hearty endorsement to Dr. Pierce's GoHc Medical Discovery," writes Hon. E. E. Willard, Judge of nth District, Duval Co. Florida. "It is the most successful remedy that I know of for the weakened coni Hon of the digestive oreans which excessive heat or overwork sometimes brinw. a ing indigestion, sick headache, a disagreeable or bitter taste in the mouth, aleeples nights and a co lplicatiou of unnatural conditions, making one feel sick all over.' Your remedy is scientifically prep&rtf nnd well calcul ted to renovate the entire system, cleansing and vitalizing the blood and assisting the stomach to perfect assimilation of food, which will soon restore neaun aua narmony." The dealer who tries to palm off a substitute for "Golden Medical Discovery," does so in order to make the little more profit paid by t ie sale of less meritorious preparations. Insist on having Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. The best g tide to health and happiness is Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser.
