These may bo secured at the FnrtnUurcau office. We can alio supply you with gopher poUun. Cold, wet weather such as wo have been having is surely good for devel oping bcours In young pigs. Every thing possiblo should be done to kee,t their quarters clean and dry. An op portunity for plenty of exercise should be given them. When young pigs develop scours give each one a tca?poonful of castor oil vm feed the sow. both nlnht and morning, n tea- spoonful of copperas (sulphate of Iron) in a little slop. If the bows are milking heavily, it is best to cut down on the milk producing part of the ration, for n few days. In a very short time the Farm Bu reau is going to launch the "Puiu Dred Sire Only" campaign, We feel that with high pi iced land, feed nnd labor, tho farmqrean no longer afford to ralbe common or inferior livestock and that tho most practical way to meet these conditions is iy using only pure-bred sires. This means everything, including the rooster and other males found In the poultry yard. There was n time when a hoi ho was u horso, a cow a cow, etc. This time has passed and they ore pither scrubs, grades, cross breeds ur pure-breds. This Is a welcomed change- but tho sad thing is that on too many form the change from tho lower to tho higher of theso groups comes much too slow. No country should rival ours in tho breeding of livestock. Yet, wo havo always, until since the outbreak of tho lata war, annually imported largo mimbci'3 of breeding animals. This country rivals all others as a natural breeding center and should lead tho world. In tho bettor sire campaign, wo do not ask that tho females be pure bred; only tho mules. It h simply marvelous tho transformation that Mvo or tluco cios-ses of n good siro Will make in tho nifsnrlnrr uVinn crossed v'ith common or Inferior fe males. A survey will soon bo mado to learn tiio exact status of tho livestock In tho county as regards scrubs, grades und pure-breds. This will furnish us a foundation on which to build our btructure. Your co-operation will bo greatly appreciated. To those farina agreeing to use only pure-bVed sires, wo will furn- isu a tx-M metnl emblem painted in two colors. Any Individual who owns any livestock, the breeding females ofwhlch aro bred to a purc-brrd male, may enroll in tho nationwide "Bettor SlroBettcr Stock" crusr.Jo. Such persons will rcceivo from the Department of Agriculture at Wash ington, n certificate 8x10 inches on paper stating that fact. A good many farms and poisons two already qualified to receive theho emblems and certificates. With many women tho poultty is tnoironly lle stock. If standard bred males have hrecded tho flock, the owners muy no- euro the certificates. The same may bo true of a junior club member. But to rcceivo tho motal emblem, all males used on the farm must no pure breds. If you can qualify lot usSioar from you at once.

GIVE THE FARM LOAN SYSTEM FAIR CHANCE Dean Coulter of West Virginia Agricultural College Opposes Changes in Farm Loan Act. FARM MORTGAGE BONDS SAFE Experience of Germany With Joint "stock Land Banks Bonds It Re assuring to American Invest ing Public. "Give the farm loan system, In Its present form, a chnnce. I worked for It for years before It was enncted. It has not had a chance to fully develop on account of the short time It has been In operation and on account of war conditions. Leave tho system alono long enough for it to prove Its worth." This was the nppeal made by John L. Coulter, dean of the West Virginia Agricultural college, to the United States senate committee on banking and currency. There was pending a bill, commonly known as the Smoot bill, which, if passed, would make farm rnortgago bonds subject to the Income tax. This tax on the bonds would result In nn Increase In the Interest rate on farm lonnB and nlso would drive the Joint stock land banks out of business. Wants Both Types of Banks. Dean Coulter believes there Is a distinct service for tho Joint stock land banks to perform and a distinct serv ice for the federal Ifcid banks to per form. He believes that the bonds of both banks should be exempt from Nebraska Well Tonnrfl Top The University of Nebraska is one of the leading institutions in the study and investigation of the appli cation of engineering to agriculture, or in the development of farm ma chinery, nccordlng to eminent engin eers and educators gathered at the recent dedication of the new agricul tural engineering building at the State College of Agriculture. The new building with its equipment cost nbout 8250.000. and If it- were built now it would cost fully twice ft thnt amount. Distinguished engin eers nt the dedication said it was tho ilnest building of its kind In the world und the best equipped for in structional work and investigation m tho subject of power farming. The agricultural engineering department is now one of tho strongest depart ments of the University. Therowcrc nearly 1,000 registrations in this de partment for the school year just closing. Four hundred nnd fifty pten took short courses in automo biles, trucks and tractors this year. Tho superintendent of construction, speaking of the dedication, said the building would stand from 300 to 400 years. Dipping Follows Shearing Most sheep growers follow tho prrff tice of dinning soon after shearing in order to cet rid of ticks. It is ne cessary to dip tho lambs as well as tho ewes, because the ticKs tenu io leave tho older sheep for tho lninbs. Many use nn ordinary hog dipping tank, If they have only iv few sheep. Others dip the lambs in n barrel and wash the ewes. A small water tank will nlso serve the purpose. It pays to do a good jolt and see thnt every part of the animal is thoroughly wet. Any srood standard creosote dip will do. An examination should be made in n couple of weeks and if ticks ire found another dipping is In order. However, in piost instances one good dipping will ho enough. ii m ay .-. . CHURCH COUNCIL ENDORSES N. E. R. Kv VXaMaBBBBBBBBaBaBW .'w'jIbMbbbbbbbbI yHbbLbM.

In a letter to the senate committee he said : "It will be a grlovous blunder to re peal the tax-exemption clauso as ap plied to either the Joint stock or the federal land banks and It would be a serious blow to tho system to drive either type of these land banks out of business. The two types of banks nre demanded by the Investing public and are demanded also by the borrowing public. "When the original act was passing through Its various stages in congress, we fully Investigated the viewpoint of the Investors. We found that many who are Interested In farm mortgages or loans on farm lands said: 'We would prefer the bonds of tho federal land banks because they would repre sent the joint or co-operative liabili ties of scores of small farmers, and they are, after nil, the backbone of the nation. When they fall we nre all lost.' We found about an equal num ber who insisted : 'We want bonds Is sued by Joint stock banks with double liabilities, with limited right to Issue bonds (only 15. times their stock com pared with 20 times for the other) und with bonds based upon farms of indi vidual, large-scale fanners where brain supervises brawn.' Farm Bonds Safe Investment "It was clear to us that there were two classes of farmers to serve, those who wanted to form associations, nnd those who wanted to 'go It alone.' "Tho two classes of farmers and the two classes of Investors nnd, therefore, two sources of funds for the develop ment of agriculture, nil looked toward more food for our great urban centers, which, If it would not mean lower prices, would at least mean that prices would not go so high as otherwise would bo tho cuse. "You may bo Interested as to the situation In foreign countries during the war. Even In Germany during the war, the two types of banks (the Joint stock and the co-opera tlvo banks) con tinued to thrive side by side. I urn told that the bonds of the stock banks sold better than government bonds, while tho co-operative land banks (landachaften) bought largo blocks of government bonds. In other words, governments may come and go, may rise and fall and change form, and government securities may bo accepted by the new government or may be dis claimed, but bonds based upon farm mortgages are as good as the land It self, which is as enduring as tho world and morg-Pennanent than life ltself,' We Will Also Have a Full Line of Fresh Fruits and Ye u:e tab ley. iSk.eii FOS, Telephone No. 31 ipppwirDmyyiyimim What Do YOU Want to MsusBMsnsnai Know About the Far West?
