Difficulty in obtaining new parts
makes ordering months ahead of the
time they will be needed advisable
according to experts of the agricul
tural engineering department of the
University of Nebraska college of
agriculture. They suggest that
formers make an inventory of their
machinery before the first of the
year and order new parts and any
new machinery that will bo needed,
without waiting for spring. It may
bo three months before orders can be
tilled.

gained 1 pounds.
"Following an attack of nervous
prostration eleven years ago I never
knew what a well day was until
Tanlac set mo right," said C. A.
Crawford, tho well-known contract
ing painter and paper hanger, living
at 2323 Q street, Lincoln, Neb., re
cently. Mr. Crawford has followed
his present line of business for forty
years, and came to Lincoln from Au
burn, Neb., in l'JOG.
"There's bound to bo something
unusual about a medicine that will
straighten a person up who has been
completely knocked out for so long,"
continued Mr. Crawford. "I was a
total nervous wreck, couldn't sleep
good, and my stomach was so out of
whack that it needed making over.
Nothing I could eat agreed with me,
and I lost weight until I was just a
living skeleton. I was laid up every
summer for three or four months at
a time.
"I finally bought a bottle of Tanlac,
thinking if it was doing so much for
other people, it might help me, too.
Well, when I first began taking it I
just weighed one hundred pounds
had fallen off from one hundred and
thirty-five so this will give you
some idea of my terrible condition.
Tanlac woke up my appotito in short
order, put me to eating hearty, and I
started mo up hill. I have already '
gotten back sixteen pounds of my '
lost weight and am still gaining
rh-ht along. My nerves are so much
stronger, and I have improved so
much in every way that I feel like a '
