Dr. Stayman, the eminent horti culturist, of Leavenworth, Kansas does not hesitate to express his opinion of that excellent paper, the Farm Journal, which any one can have from now until December, 1903, nearly five years, by prompt ly paying up a year's subscription in advance to the Columbian. He says : ' ' The Farm Journal is al ways a welcome visitor to my table and is read with unusual interest by all. Have recommended it as one of the best conducted farm papers select, concise, and reliable in its general ' make-up ' ; giving more practical and useful hints than any other farm paper received. It is free from long windy tales and bo gus advertisements, a fact which few other papers can boast of." Every home in this county would be benefited if the Farm Journal came to it. If you want to be the real thing these days you must camp out in the woods, sleep on the soft side of 1 a plank, fight flies all day, and kill mosquitoes nearly all night, eat stale bread, drink old smokey-tast-ing coffee, and be generally un comfortable, and after you have spent about two weeks in this man ner, come home and be under the care of a doctor for a month. Oh, it's awfully jolly to camp out. Death, on Wednesday entered the home of William Edgar, of West Main street, and claimed his wife. Catharine.
