We have thirty papers to give a way for
one year. They are the best farm papers
printed , and every farmer should have
one.
one.Our proposition is this :
We will give ten copies ( year's sub
scription ) of the Iowa Homestead , the
best farm weekly published , to the first
ten persons who subscribe for The
Tribune or pay one year in advance on
old subscription.
When the ten Iowa Homesteads are
exhausted , we have ten Special Farmer's
Institute Editions of the Iowa Home
stead that go the same way ; and still we
will have ten copies of the Poultry
Farmer for the next twenty.
Here are thirty in all. Each o\er one
year's subscription until January 1st ,
1899. If you want a good farm paper ,
here is the opportunity of your life.
Call and get your reading for 189S.

catalogue will be mailed free on applica
tion , to any one who intends to pur
chase seeds , plants or bulbs this spring.
Be sure and mention our paper when
writing May & Co.
Our readers know quite well the views
of the editor of this paper in regard to
The Iowa Homestead. We think that
nothing like it and its Special Farmers'
Institute editions were ever offered to
the farmers of this county at the low
price of $ r , and each successive issue
only confirms this view. The January
Special Institute number , which accom
panied the regular issue for the last week
in 1897 , was paticularly interesting. It
discussed the question whether it is wise
under present conditions for young men
of limited means to buy farms. Every
farmer should read this for the light it
throws on the future prospects of farm
ing. Government seed distribution is
also very throughly discussed. Now is
the time when our farmer readers select
their papers for the year , and the Live
Stock Indicator should be on the list of
every farmer in this county. Send for
sample copies of both the paper and its
Special Institute editions. They will be
sent free to all who address the Home
stead Co , Des Moines , la.
During the past two years , Mrs. J. W.
Alexander , wife of the editor of the Way
nesboro , ( Miss. ) Times , has , in a great
many instances , relieved her baby when
in the first stages of croup , by giving it
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. She
looks upon this remedy as a household
necessity and believes that no better med
icine has ever been put in bottles. There
are many thousands of mothers in this
broad land , who are of the same opinion.
It is the only remedy that can always be
depended upon as a preventive and cure
for croup. The 25 and 50 cent bottles , ' i
are for sale by McConnell.

for $1.25 a year , strictly in advance.
I had the rheumatism so badly that I t
could not get tuy hand to my head. I j
tried the doctor's medicines without the {
least benefit. At last I thought of Cham
berlain's Pain Balm ; the first bottle re
lieved all the pain , and one-half of the '
second bottle effected a complete cure.
W. J. Holland , Holland , Va. Chamber- (
Iain's Pain Balm is equally good for ,
sprains , swellings and lameness , as well
as burns , cuts and bruises. For sale at
