DEMONSTRATOR IS mOFlTAM.K
Interesting Letter Hoarding Farm
Demonstrator Written by Ne
braska Man to MiigAxine
8ecretsry Fisher of the Comercial
Club has banded the following arti
cle, clipped from the Nebraska Farm
er, to The Herald for publication
The article is written by a farmer to
the magatlne and tells of the work
done by the farm demonstrator. It
is to be hoped that one can be secur
ed for Box Butte county during the
present season.
The article follows:
To Nebraska Farmer: Recently I
have noticed many articles In The
Nebraska Farmer criticising farm
demonstration work. Many of them
are in the nature of honest opinion,
while others are of a critical nature
and evidently from the pen of men
hardly fit ft position to throW stone.
The honest opinion letters are O.K.,
but the others, I take it, yn vrint to
show how laughable a stand some
men will take when up against the
movement for advancement in the af
fairs of this world,
However untenable the arguments
rr (n ftOIUe of these articles, there
e.r people who will give them weight
and consideration. The names sign
ed are the glut of the theme and
therefore the neighbors of the writ
ers have the advantage over the ma
jority of the renders, and can give
the proper consideration to the sub
ject. I think It no more than fair
that these persons should be Investi
gated and their standing learned.
Did they Inherit their farms, or are
they making a success of lifet Are
they better farmers than the aver
age, or are they drifting along in the
'same old rut! tHV us this Informa
tion In order ttat we may judge the
Importance S be given to the com
munlcaltons. With such Informa
tion bfefore ub, I warrant we would
find uiuch food for thought.
1 note that one person talks at
length against our experiment sta
tion and then advises his less en
lightened brothers on treating oats
for smut, evidently forgetting that
this treatment was discovered thru
the efforts of our experiment sta
tions. One of our local kickers, who
loses no opportunity to mention taxes
and the expenses of our agricultural
college, is feeding his cattle oil meal
to secure a balanced ration. I sup
pose he claims to have discovered
the value ttf a balanced ration. I
In Nebraska there is not a sness-
fUl farmer that is not deriving bene
fit from experimental work. This is
the truth, though few mill admit it.
Analyze this for yourself. On nine
farms out of ten yon will find feeds
used the value of Vhich was proved
at our experiment station.
One of your subscribers gives his
opinion of demonstrators and is rath
er inclined to be adverse. For the
Information of this correspondent al
low 'me to say that my idea of a dem
onstrator is one who does not advise
Or offer suggestions, but who gives
us facts that we may draw our own
conclusions. He is the man who
puts ub in touch with experimental
work. I have read bulletins for ten
years and have been greatly Interest
ed in them. Incidentally, I have
made money at farming, and yet our
demonstrator put me in more inti
mate touch with subjects which ena
bled me personally to profit to the
extent of several hundred dollars In
the past year. This correspondent's
county may be unfortunate in dem
onstrators, for with hired Den, and
even with farmers, as well as dem
onstrators there are good, fead and
indifferent.
Another correspondent writes an
article that is most -unfair. He says
that hogs were treated by 'our Gage
county demonstrator and died. These
hogs were net treated by our demon
strator, but by a local Veterinarian.
Furthermore, but three or four Of
the hogs died. Allow me to go on
record for the benefit 'of this per
son. I con name ninety-five Out 'of
every 10O members 'of our county
crop Improvement association who
have been benefitted by our demon
stratlon work. Moreover, : there are
twenty farmers In 'our association
who will pay the salary and expens
es of oar demonstrator if he will
agree to work for them exclusively
This is not idle' talk; if necessary I
will give you names and affidavits.
One of bur dairymen will show you
that his returns' this year are one
dollar each day In excess of the re
turns for 1913, and the crop improve
ment association is given all the cred
it.
Allow me to say again that a farm
demonstrator is' employed to put us
In closer touch with experimental
"work. We in Gage county do not ex
pect our demonstrator to snow us
how to farm, how to grow better
corn, or gain more pounds per day.
What we do want, and what we are
getting, is Information on the results
of research and experiment the world
over. It is the business of our dem
onstrator to know the methods of the
most successful ' men and to be in
formed on every subject touching on
agriculture. If you will tell me what
reeas ten farmers or experiment sta
tlons are using and the gains pro-
aucea, i nave been fsr enough in
fractions that I csn determine what
reeas I will use.
Our demonstrator has Influenced
us to study, to experiment and to
consider farming as a business and
not as a Job. He has Interested our
children In sgrlculture as never be
fore, and our crop Improvement as
sociation is an asset of Inestimable
value to our county. It Is true that
many of our farmers are still mourn
ing the advent of the self-binder snd
longing for the scythe and cradle.
However, we must be charitnhi
Each man is entitled to his onlnlon.

er, and selling boots and shoes with
out a license of $50, was fined f 50
and costs. He put up a bond of

contract, dated May 20, between him
self and M. D. Nichols, by which he
sold the stock to Mr. Nichols for the
sum of $2500. Mr. Young told a
Herald reporter that he was operat

that he would fight the case through
the courts.

Logansport, Ind., May 25 Expert
marksmen from all over Indiana fac
ed the traps at Spencer Park, today,
at the -opening of the annual champ
ionship tournament of their state
association. A program of events
covering three days has been prepar
ed Tor the tournament. Trophies
and cash prizes amounting to more
than $500 will be distributed among
the wlnne-s.
"THIS AND THAT"
The preacher has a hard time of
It. If his hair is gray he is old. If
he Is a young man he hasn't had ex
perience. If he has ten children he
has too many. If he has none he
should have and Isn't setting a good
example. If his wife sings in the
choir she is presumptlous. If she
doesn't she isn't interested In her
husband's work. If a preacher reads
his notes he is a bore. If he speaks
extemporaneously he is not deep
enough. If he stays at home in his
study he does not mix enough with
the people. If he Is seen around on
the streets he ought to be at home
getting up a good sermon. If he
calls on some very poor family he is
playing to the gallery. If be calls
at the home of the rich be is an arls
tocrat. Whatever he does someone
could have told him better. He has
a fine time living off donations which
never come in, and promises that
never mature. Next to being an ed
ltor the preacher has the world best
ed for a ouiet, peaceful (?) slide
down the toboggan of time.
Multiply $5 and $5 and you get
$25. Five dollars is equal to 500
cents. Multiply 600 cents by 500
cents and you get 250,000 cents, and
counting 100 cents to the dollar.
250,000 cents equals $2600. Why is
the second amount greater than the
first? Can the school boy tell?

HOW CHILDREN GROW
Children grow by nourishment not
overloaded stomachs or rich foods but
qualities that are readily converted into
hfe-Bu&taining blood; too often their
digestive powers cannot procure these
qualities from ordinary foods which results
in weakness, dullness snd sickneM.
If your children are under-size, under
weight, catch cold easily, are languid,
backward, pale or frail, give them Scott's
Emulsion which is pure medicinal nourish
ment. It sharpen the appetite, builds
healthy flesh, kxm muscles and active
brains. Scott's is growing-food 'or
children. Refuse alcoholic substitutes.
Strengthens Weak and Tired Women
"I was under a great strain nurs
ing a relative through three months'
sickness," writes Mrs. J. C. Van De
Rande. of Klrkland, 111., and "Elec
tric Bitters kept me from breaking
down. I will never be without it."
Do you feel tired and worn out? No
appetite and food won't digest? It
Isn't the spring weather. You need
Electric Bitters. Start a month's
treat meat today; nothing better for
stomach, liver and kidneys. The
great spring tonic. Relief or money
back. 60c and 11.09. at your Druggist.
