Life Saver
In a letter from Branch
land, W. Va., Mrs. Eliza
beth Chapman says: "I
suffered from womanly
troubles nearly five years.
All the doctors in the coun
ty did me no good. I took
Cardui, and now I am en
tirely well. I feel like a
new woman. Cardui saved
my life! All who suffer
from womanly trouble
should give Cardui a trial."

CARDUI
The Woman's Tonic
50 years of proof have
convinced those who tested
it, that Cardui quickly re
lieves aches and pains due
to womanly weakness, and
helps nature to build up
weak women to health and
strength. Thousands of
women have found Cardui
to be a real life saver.
Why not test It for your
case? Take Cardui today!

RANCH CONDITIONS GOOD
Improved Methods in Feeding Help
to Bring Stock Through
F. W. Black, a well known ranch
man of Garden county, was hi Alli
ance the first of the week on bus
incss and favored The Herald with
a call. He informs us that stock is
coming through the winter in fine
shape, notwithstanding the seei"
i cold weather that we have had and
'. the snow whieli has fallen in larger
I quantities than usual. Mr. Black's
t ranch is devoted to raising horses
i principally, it is a well known fact
I that in severe weather horses rustle
j for themselves much better than cat
tie. but he informs us that cattle
: are doing well. also.
Many cattle men are feeding oil
cake ill is winter and find i heir
stock will :lo as well If not better
on it than on hay. It is leas expeii
sive, as it requires only a small a
moiint. One fine nun. about feed
lug oil cake is Hiat in case of be
ing short cli hay it can be u r d,
thus insuring a good supply of feed
without heavy expense
Floyd Elliott, a machinist living at

III very near pneumonia for sever

at present.
VISIT IN CALIFORNIA
Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Norton on Way
to Los Angeles
for a month or six weeks Mr and
Mrs. . . Norton will enjov the
balmy climate and semi tropical scen
ery of southern California, vlsitine.
at the home of their son and daugh
ter-ln law, Mr. and Mrs. Ward Nor
ton, in lx Angeles, and taking In
many points of interest In the coast
country. They left yesterday for
the land of the setting sun.
That they will enjoy a change
from the rigorous climate that we
have been having, as well as their
visit with friends in the southern
California metropolis, there can be
no doubt. Mr. Norton left his mer
cantile establishment here in charge
of J. B. Seager, as manager, assist
ed by an efficient corps of helpers.
The rest from business cares will
be a treat to him, especially as he
can confidently expect his business
interests here to be properly looked
after by those Into whose care they
have been entrusted.
VISIT SEED CORN SPECIALS
The "seed corn specials", which
started out through Nebraska last
week over the Burlington. Union Pa
cific and Northwestern railroads,
were greeted by big crowds not
withstanding the heavy snows and
blizzard which prevailed the fore
part of the week, showing that thru
the publicity given by the piesn of
the state, prompted by the business
men of Omaha through their com
mercial club, a great interest had
been aroused in the matter of good
seed corn. It is estimated that by
the time the seed corn specials have
finished their trips tihts week 45,000
farmers will have heard the lectures
delivered from the trains.
FROM MISSOURI
It is easy for some newspaper ed
itors to make big claims as to cir
culation, new subscriptions, etc.,
but there are some of us who are
from Missouri and have to be
shown. During the last few months
new subscriptions to The Alliance
HeraW have greatly exceeded those
discontinued during the same time.
and we have the names to show.
This paper is not in it with some
others when it conies to working, pol
itical grafts to bolster up a busi
ness that is otherwise a failure. But
The Mi raid does take the lead in
this part of the state in subscrip
tions, commercial advertising anil
job printing.
Bates Copeland received word
last week from t'. D Rider, who is
visiting with his uncle at 64. East
22nd street. Los Angeles. He savs
he is eating plenty of oranges, and
seems to be having a good time, al
though he had not been there long
enough to tell what effect the
change would have on his health He
says It is the dryest in that part of
California that it has been for years.
He requests The Herald sent to
him al that place for a month, from
which we take it that he expects to
remain there for a while.

The Potato Blight
The following article by B. C.
Buffum Is taken from The Garland
Courier. Mr Huffum Is Wyoming's
'Ihirbank" and well qualified to
speak on agricultural subjects:
Over a large part of the West,
ast season was an unfavorable ,,,
for potatoes and the United States
imported considerable quantities
from Scotland and other sources.
During the past ten years this coun
try produced approximately three
bushels of potatoes for every bushel
exported but the potatoes are so
nearly consumed nt home that the
total exports have been but little
more than a fow million a year.
Even with the blight conditions of
last season the price received made
same of our potato crop fairly prof
itable, with the completion of our
north and south road we should be
able to raise for export providing
there is not a sufficient home mar
ket. So important is the potato crop
in the west that the government and
some of the railroad lines are em
ploying potato experts to teach pota
to culture to the fannere 1n arid
America. It would be well for the
Big Horn Basin farmers to give par
ticular attention to this kind of stu
dy, for potatoes will become one of
our most important crops.
The question of what seed to use
and ita treatment Is of much im
portance. After a blight MAT it
seems uncertain If not. Impossible
tht we may rely on obtaining seed
potatoes that have been affected
with the fungus spores which carry
over one or another of the diseases
which produce blight and reduce or
destroy the crop. Fortunately, the
conditions which favor wide-spread
occurence, of the blight disease of
the potato seldom happens in two
consecutive seasons in our arid reg
ion, so there is little probability of
a general loss of the crop next summer.
Irrigation of potatoes in our soils
seems to so force their growth and
art the same time favor the accumu
lation of disease spores that frequent
change of seed is necessary. It is
never wise to plant "run out" seed
potatoes but first or second year
seed from imported stock, if R is
pure and true to type may be treat
ed and used with success although
the crop was affected wlih blight
last season.
In parts of Europe, rhlzoctonnia
and other blight trouble are so de
structive that special handling must
be resorted to each year to secure
profitable crops. The seed pota
toes are carefully selected and
spread in the sun several days to
"green" them. The furrows in
which the potatoes are to be plant
el are plowed and left open and
thus exposed to the sun and
air for two or three days be
fore planting is done. The greened
seed is not cut but planted whole In
the subtreated furrows. This meth
od takes some extra work and re
quires the use of a thousand to fir
teen hundred pounds of seed per
acre. It seems to be successful
treatment against blight fungus
which produces crown rot and this
is the disease that gives us most
trouble. We also have the late
blight In the west due to fungus
which causes dry rot of the potato
in cellars. This disease affect the
inside of the stems of the vines so
it cannot be helped with summer
spiaying. The seed should be
treated with formalin or corrosive
sublimate.
