"QUICK MEAL" OIL STOVES

Keep Your Kitchen Cool
in Summer

HY should you have to stand over
a hot coal or wood fire during the hot
summer days? No matter if you huy
a wick oil stove or a wickless, cook with oil this
summer and save yourself.
The stove shown above is a high-grade wickless
oil stove. The frame is identically the same body as
that used in our ' ' Quick Meal ' ' wick oil stove, the only
difference being that the one shown here is fitted with
wickless burners and uses an asbestos ring, whereas the "Quick Meal" stove shown below
uses a wick.
Quick Meal wickless oil stoves are very easy to operate. When the indicator attached to
the valve points to a certain number on the dial plate, the flame will be just a certain size and
when turned back to number one on the dial plate, the burner will go out. In this way all
guess work is overcome. A device for lifting up burner-drum makes it easy to light. "Quick
Meal" oil stoves give an intense blue flame, a more economical stove could not be made.
Large glass tanks in place of metal tanks jued on other stoves is another big improvement.

SEIOELL TELLS HOW
TO TREAT POTATOES
"The scarcity and high price of
seed potatoes are the limiting fac
tor this year in potato production in
Box Butte county," asserts F. M.
Seidell, county agent. Mr. Seidell
states. "This can be offset at the
start by treating all seed potatoes
with corrosive sublimate or forma
lin Results obtained through dem
onstrations and held practice in Box
Butte county during the past two
years have (dearly demonstrated the
value of treatment in Increasing the
yield of marketable potatoes and
raising the quality so that the local
buyers have in normal times paid
five to ten cents more per bushel fur
potatoes produced from treated seed.
"In demonstrations conducted in
191;'." says Mr. Seidell, "the treated
potatoes yielded 28 bushels more per
acre of marketable potatoes, while
in 1916 the increased yiei.. averaged
about 11 bushels more per acre.
"Late planting," states the county
agent, "naturally does much to con
trol disease, but it is not on the late
or very late planted potato that Box
Butte county formal!" es'-iMished it
reputation, but Instead on the ripe
meH potato. Kxtra field culture
should be given the potatoes this
year, but this will probably be lim
ited to some extant by the scarcity
of farm labof.
"Over 1700 acres of potatoes were
treated for disease in Box Butte
county last year, while the year be
fore the average treated was about
400 and the year before that about
ISO. The Increase in acreage treat
ed has resulted from the demonstra
tions and the finding of Held prac
tice in its favor. If standards are
established by this market season,
which is indicated, it is imperative
that all potatoes be treated to con
trol diseases.
"The corrosive sublimate treat -ment
Is better than the formalin
treatment. The former is a poison
and care should he exercised in Its
use. For each 30 gallons of water
add 4 ounces of corrosive sublimate
dissolved in hot water. Cover the
potatoes to be treated and leave in
solution for two hours. The solu
tion may be used four -times and
then should be replaced with new
A given number of gallons of solu
tion Whell used four times will treat
safely two-thirds of the number of
gallons in bushels. The formalin
treatment is the same as the corros
ive sublimate only it may bt used
indefinitely and consists of one pint
of formaldehyde to 30 gallons of water."

How a Home Differs from a House
The difference between a Home a place that is permanent and where
Home is paramount, and a House a mere place to live in is easily distin
guished. A casual observer explained it in the following manner:
The lack of Music is the real difference between a house and a HOME.
Contentment, Comfort and genuine Pleasure are the main attractions of a real
Home, and no one will doubt this Statement. Are the Young Folks of Your
Family Contented and happy? Is home to them the dearest spot on Earth, or
are they away from home most of the time seeking something they have not
got at home Pleasure and Entertainment? If so, we have a solution. One
of our Pianos or Player Pianos will fill that long-felt want, making Your Home
more attractive and therefore the members of Your Family contented. This
big subject could not be handled or fully explained in an advertisement as
small as this, but if You will call at Our Store in any of the ciites in which we
have stores, we will be glad to give you additional Facts that will set you to
thinking and cause you to understand why it is that Music in the Home is the
most desirable thing that the family could have.
