Is it not a fact that you are annually paying out for rent from one-third to one-half what you could buy ood land for, or what would most wholly pny for a cot tage in town if purchased on monthly payments? How many years will it take you to buy the farm you are living on with what you make over what the rent costs you? Is it not a fact that the land you are renting is increasing in value faster than the net profit you are making off of it? Do you want to be a renter all your life? If you stay where you are now is there any prospect of you ever owning a farm? Is it not true that if you ever own a home of our own you must go where land is cheaper? If you do not do so what opportunities can your children have? Is it not true that many renters around you are poorer than they were five years ago?

Every farmer knows that some plants grow better than others. Soil may be the same and seed may seem the same but some plants are weak and others strong. And that's the way with children. They are like young plants, bame food, same home, same care . but some grow big and strong while others stay small and weak. Scott's Emulsion offers an easy way out of the difficulty. Child weakness often means starvation, not because of lack of food, but because the food does not feed. - Scott's Emulsion really feeds and gives the child growing strength. Whatever the cause of weak ness and failure to grow Scott's Emulsion seems to find it and set the matter right. Send for free sample.
