badly. Is very Bcabby, frequently
lodges, snd produces grain of poor
quality. At the North Platte sub
station the average yield of durum
for five years (1904-1909) was 21
bushels and for the common spring
wheat, 13.5 bushels. In 1909 anu
1910, on the other hand, durum
yielded but 16.2 bushels and com
mon spring wheat 16.5 at the same
station.
The North Platte substation from
Its experiments has found (1) that
urum wheat matures earlier than
common spring wheat, (2) that It
not only gives higher yields but is
lso much more rust resistant than
common varieties, (3) that Kuban-
a, Dlack Don and Velvet Don are
good varieties for western Nebraska,
nd (4) that the best yields of dur-
m are secured In years of normal
rainfall.

Doan's Kidney Pills have done

It's testimony from this locality
twice-told and well confirmed.
Such endorsements are unique 1
the annals of medicine.
Should convince the most skeptic
al Alliance reader.
George Busick, Gordon, Nebr,
says: "I had a great deal of trouble
from irregular passages of the kid
ney secretions and I also Buffered
from attacks of lumbago. Often th
pain ana lameness in my back was
so acute that I was unable to stoop
or do any kind of work. Doan'
Kidney Pills cured me in a short
time and the cure has lasted. I am

Advertising
If there Is one enterprise on earth
that a quitter should leave entirely
alone, It is advertising. To make a
success of advertising one must be
prepared to stick like a barnacle on
boat's bottom. He should know,
before he begins It, that he must
spend money lots of It. Somebody
must tell him that he cannot hope to
reap results commensurate with his
expenditure, early in the game.
