The banana crop in Nebraska haa not
been affected by the heavy rains nor
have the frequent hail storms reached
the banana belt so far. The first attempt
to harvest the crop was made yesterday
when Prof. R. J. Pool of tha University

tree In the university greenhouse. The
fruit is in good condition and much more
palatable than that which grows on for
eign soil and ripens In the wholeeale
house or fruit cans, though a little
smaller. The tree in the hothouse la an
old one and haa been uaed several yeara
for demonstrating and rarely ever falls
to produco a good crop.

The continued wet weather has placed
added difficulties In the way of the
grain harvest now In full blast In Ne
braska. . The binder engine manufac
turers are unable to supply the demand
which haa been created and farmers have
been obliged to utilise other devices that
might be of any aid. In Pawnee. Oage
and Jefferson counties, two devleea have
been brought Into prominence, the roller
type being In favor where the supply
of beer kegs haa not been exhausted.
Southwest of Beatrice a plank float la
being used by a large number and with
good results.
The keg roller followa the larga drive
wheel and la attached In two ways: First,
by brace Irons attached to the rear of
the frame and held off the ground
where the soil Is hard; second, by long,
stiff rods, which are extended from the
axle of the keg under the frame to the
STAY
CHAIN
stub tongue to which K la attached.
With this arrangement, the keg Is never
lifted from the ground. It supports a
part of the binder weight only when the
drive wheel sinks too deep in the mud.
local blacksmiths charge about $AM
for putting this attachment on where the
farmer furnishes the keg.
The plank float la aimply a plena of
2xlJ, 6 feet long placed under the frame
of the binder on the cutter bar aide of
the drive wheel. The front end la tied
to the atub tongue or braces by chains
or wires. On the rear end, blocks are
nailed to the upper aurfaoe of the plank,
leaving a apace under tha rear frame
bar of the binder of about S Inches
when on firm ground. As the wheel goea
Into soft earth, the frame com-i down
to the block and thus a part of tha
weight Is transferred to the plank which
slides over the stubble.

What can I do to
make her stronger?"
Your physician has told you that it is simply
one of the thousands of cases of "debility."
You have tried certain "tonics" without avail,
but you have not yet tried Sanatogen, the
true food-tonic.
And Sanatotrtn may wall prove her salvation:, for
remember that thousands of women who wert weak p
ana weary nave oenvea new strcngrn, a new joy w q
living, from its use.
OHvt Schreiner, tha famous writer, gratefully ex
, claims:
"Nothing that I hava taken la year haa
J yen me such a sense of vigor at Senatofea."
And Amelia E. Bsrr, tha beloved novelist, refers to
the "marvellous help" derived from using Sanatogen.
This help of Sanatogen it not tbt false help of a
mere stimulant but tha wutruetivt aid of a true food
tonic .which give the exhausted system tha mmtural
elements for building up tbt blood, strengthening the
nerves, improving digestion.
How well it performs this function, physiciana in
every land 21,000 of them have endorsed Sanatogen
in writing know from actual observation. Their
attitude is well summed up by the famous Berlin
specialist. Professor Eulenberg, who writes:
"I am using Ssnstogea more and mora la
cases of nervous troubles which hava their
origin in poverty of the blood and poor
nutrition, and (ever had occasion to regret
