4 Ziron Did Us Both Good," Writes Mr. Gentry,
of Norene, Term.
r" is a well-known medical fact, that
iron is a necessary constituent of the
blood, and that blood lacking iron is
the cause of many troubles that only iron
will cure.
Ziron, a scientific compound of iron
with other valuable ingredients, is the
remedy to take when your blood needs
more iron, and your system requires a
tonic. Ziron is mild and harmless, does
not stain the teeth, and is good for chil
dren as well as adults.
Air. P. Q. Gentry, of Norene, Tenn.,
writes: "Ziron Iron Tonic has made good
in my family. I have used it to a very
great advantage to myself and my 14-year-old
boy. It did us both good. 1
think it is a good medicine for what it is
recommended."
If you are pale, weak, tired, feel down
and out, take Ziron. It will put Iron into
your blood, and should help build you up.
Qet a bottle from your druggist today,
and give ZIRON a fair trial. Sold bj
him under a money-back guarantee.
Ask him about It He will tell you.

Information Obtained In Keeping Rec

OLD PAPERS for sale at The Progress office, 5c a package.
Farmers, just like other business
men, vary widely in the degree of effi
ciency displayed in running their busi
ness. Some are able to analyze the
farm business and thus to detect and
eliminate the low-paying or losing en
terprises. Others, lucking the knowl
edge of how to make a systematic
analysis of the business as a whole,
know that their profits are not what
they ought to be, without knowing
how to go about it to increase them.
They may be able to find and correct
the obvious errors In the small-sized
farm business, but In handling a busi
ness of considerable size they often
fail to spot the enterprises that are
losing money for them. Such men
may or may not make money, but at
best they fall short of making as
much as they might. A farmer may
be making a large net profit on his
potatoes and losing it all by keeping
low-producing cows. Similarly a man
may be making money on his cows and
losing part of the profit on another
enterprise. Hence the paramount im
portance of records to the farmer.
Farm Returns Studied.
Careful studies made upon a large
number of farms enable the office of
farm management of the United States
department of agriculture to make
some Interesting statements in this
regard. For instance, they find that
only 10 per cent usually less of the
farms studied are managed so as to se
cure better-than-average returns from
all four factors size of business,
yield of crops, live stock, and labor
while from 20 to 30 per cent of the
farms considered have only one factor
better than the average. It must be
understood that no one of these fac
tors will determine success.
The figures given which relate to the
labor income will prove most interest
ing to farm employers. The analysis
has reduced the labor cost of farm
work to figures. An acre of hay. on
an average farm, costs the labor of
one man and one horse for a ten-hour
day to cut. cure, and harvest it; oats,
wheat, and barley, one and a half
days of man labor and three of horse:
