Many of tho fanners of Red Willow
county are readers of the Iowa Home
stead of Des MoinesIowaand believers
in the gospel of scientific practical agri
culture To all these and many others
it will be interesting to know that the
Homestead increased its circulation in
the year of 1905 from 60000 to over 75000
a gain of over 25 per cent Of this vast
number of farmers over 50000 are resi
dents of Iowa making it a powerful ad
vertising medium to reach the agricul
tural interests of tho Hawkeye state
while large numbers are citizens of Illi
nois Nebraska and neighboring states
The Homestead is edited by men who
live on and operate their own farms
which gives their doctrines greater value
than the writingsof mere theorists The
foremost experts in agriculture live
stock breeding horticulture dairying
and all the various branches of husband
ry in the Middle West are contributors
for the Homestead The McCook Tri
gone would be glad to see the circula
tion of the Homestead still further in
creased in this vicinitv and will take
pleasure in forwarding your subscrip
tion on request
