GLASS OF SALTS IF
Eat less meat if 70a feel B&ckachy or
have Bladder trouble Salts
fine for Kidney.
Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their efforts
to filter it from the system. Regular eat
ers of meat must flush the kidneys occa
sionally. You tnuit relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
acids, waste and poison, else you feel a
dull misery in the kidney region sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, diz
ziness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
tip two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
..id flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any. pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before break
fast for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine and bladder disorders dis
appear. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used for
fenerations to clean and stimulate slug
gish kidneys and stop bladder irritation,
jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and
makes a Jcltghtful effervescent lithia
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoiding
serioaa kidney and bladder diseaaes.
Do people read ads? One merch
ant who complained about people not
reading the newspaper ads took
"copy" to the office one day adver
tising "curtains with fringe" along
with a number of other specials for
that week. His writing was very
poor, and the printer set up the ad,
"Curtains with prize." (The next day
this store keeper had more than a
hundred calls for the curtain with
prize, and he was thoroughly con
vinced that people do read the ads.

What It Oot to Keep a Iforae
The cost of keeping a horse on the
farm for a year in eastern Nebraska
is upward of 8100, according to the
Farm Management Department of
the College of Agriculture. It costs
$60 for feed, $7.50 for interest at 5
per cent on a valuation of $150 for
the horse, $15 for 10 per cent depre
ciation on the horse, $12 for 75 hours
care at 16 cents an hour, $7.50 for
shelter, and enough more for veter
Inary, attendance, shoeing, and oth
er ex pen Hen to make it total over
$100. In western Nebraska, on ac
count of the lower cost of feed, the
copt of keeping a horse is estimated
to be somewhat lesn.

"WHY FARMS OF ABOUT A SECTION AND ONE-HALF ' WITH ABOUT
ONE-FOURTH (3IVEN TO CROPS?"
NOTE: Box Butte Farmers' Association Cooperating with the Extenuio
Service, Nebraska College of Agriculture, and the United States De
partment of Agriculture.
In a previous article it was stated that Bise of business was an oat
standlng factor having an Important effect ipon farm profits In this region.
There are three factors that affect the sire of business, namely: slie ot
farm, crop area, and number of productive animal units. It is easily seen
how the size of farm could control the number of crop acres and number C
productive animals that could be kept on the farm. '
The question is asked, What is the most profitable size of farm in this
county? This might be answered by saying that the family sited farm wit
average type of farming is the most profitable here the same as all other
regions of the state that have been investigated. It might be added furth
er that the average sized farm here represents the family sized farm for
this area. The size of farms range from 160 to 4000 acres on the Box
Butte-table with an average size of approximately a section and one-half.
The survey shows that the farm of a section and one-half is the most
profitable. It 1b on this size of farm that about two men can, working to
gether, maintain the balance between crop area and grazing land. It is n
derstood that since the lay of the land, and the natural factors of this area
afford very little natural protection for stock in winter, and since it is nec
essary to acquire a good supply of winter feed, it must necessarily codm
from some kind of crop. It is on this size of farm that all members of the
family can be furnished work the year around If the farm business is coa
ducted in accordance with this size.
Since the survey shows the average and at the same time most profit
able size farms to be about a section and one-half, how much can be profit
ably devoted to crop area? Taking for example the average of the. tw
most profitable farms and substantiating it by the entire survey, it Is foamf
that on a place of this size that about one-fourth in crops is found to b
the most profitable. On these farms each man cared for an average of 121
crop acres. The average man on the average farm cared for 113 ero
acres. If the proportion of crops is carried much higher the grazing area
necessary for economical production of livestock is sacrificed.
If you increase size of the farm, will it be profitable to increase crop
area in proportion? The proportion of one-fourth the size of farm to crop
area will prove the most profitable if the size of farm is not increased muefc
above the average. This limit comes where the duplication of men, horses
and machinery are' necessary. The disadvantage of a large crop area is
the, fact that the distance to fields Increases so fast after a certain limit is
reached that much time is lost in travel to and from the fields. On a cer
tain very large and yet profitable place entering Into this survey, the pro
portion of crop area to grazing land was one to eleven. This proportloa
could be reduced profitably since the operator was farming land in all dir
ections from the farmstead, and considerable land conl dbe farmed betweea
the farmstead and present fields.
In the article that follows it will be shown that a close relationship ec
lts between the crop urea and the amonnt of livestock that can be kept
profitably in a given aroa.
HOYS' AND HRLS' CLUB WORK
On February 7 Mr. Seidell sent out the following letter to members ef
the clubs and their parents:
Dear Member and Parents: "Boys' and Girls' Club. Work" will b '
made an active part in the public school system of Box Butte county from
now on. The purpose of boys' and girls' club- work is to help boys and girls
to study Agriculture and Home economics,, and. thereby making their bom
work more Interesting. It offers a definite plan whereby home project
v ork can be systematically correlated with school work.
The need of the day and the future is not "more farmers and wore
home makers in the country", but is "more efficient farmers and home mak
ers". We do not need the "back to the land movement" agitated by bobis
of the larger cities to rid themselves of their inefficient and thereby thiah
ing that the cost of living would be reduced. They are far from the trhe
economic basis for improvement, because efficient men and women are need
ed oh the farm and there is where the majority will have to be trained. War
not make this training the very best to fit them for their life's work? . This
does not mean that all boys and girls should remain on the farms, for the'
farms will continue to contribute, their share of statesmen, professional
men, teachers, etc., to the state and to the nation. At any rat;, whatever
the calling, some training in the subject "which is the basis ot all manufac
ture and commerce" will be a help to them throughout life. "Boys' aa
girls' club work" will solve the problem of "keeping the boys and girls ea
the farm."
County schools have b-en criticized by the patrons, because nothing
has been done to teach agriculture and home duties. This country is new;
the school districts are new; the achoolhouses small; small attendance, an
inability to get teachers trained along these lines at present salaries; ex
pense of equipment, etc., have been some of the reasons for not teaching ag
riculture and home ecr nico in rural schools.
The U. S. Departm .1 of Agriculture has come to the rescue by placiag
state leaders and assistants of boys' and girls' club work in all states te
work In cooperation with the Extension Department of the Agricultural col
lege, which in turn cooperates with, the public schools. No expenses involve
upon the school districts. All lessons are furnished by the Extension De
partment and all teachers are already interested, but need your coopera
tion. The cooperation of all parents is needed. Parents are asked to en
courage their children and other children to become active in this work.
This new type of education Is known as the 4H Brand, meaning Health,
Honor, Heart and Hand, and will do much to supplement the three com
mon R's. Club members work, study, keep accounts, maka reports, and
display their products. Every club member wins a prize by either the
knowledge gained or by the profit made in carrying on a club project.
The active clubs In Box Butte county for 1916 are: Potato, Pig, Gardea
and Canning, and Sewing and Cooking Clubs. Any of the clubs are open te
either boys or girls between the ages of 10 and 18 years. In the Potale
Club, each member raises and keeps records on at least one-eighth acre of
potatoes. In the Pig Club, each member raises and keeps records on at
least one pig. In the Garden and Canning Clubs, the member cares for a
garden at least 100 square feet in size, and cans the surplus products!" Ia
the Sewing and in the Cooking Clubs, a two-year course is offered consist
ing of twelve lessons each year. Parents can cooperate by allowing their
children a little time, and by giving encouragement and support to this
movement. A larger acreage can be cared for in the potato work and more
pigs can be cared for in the pig club project, thus making better use of la
bor and bringing this work more in line with the regular routine ot farm
ork.
The club rules and enrollment cards have been Bent to the teacher ef
your district school. She will explain further regarding thiB work. The
newspapers will publish all club rules later. During the week of Organise
Agriculture practically every other county but this in the state was repre
sented in the boys' and girls' club display at Lincoln. None of our boys sr
girls finished their work. There Is oothiug like sticking to a Job until it
is doo.
