A largeamount of loss occurs in this way every lear. The council oilers the following suggestions: Do not stack hay, grain, straw of fodder I any description within 500 feet of n railroad track, and farther away if possible and convenient. If grain is !-ft in shocks after cutting, ploy fire toards of six furrows 300 fee-,' from the track, and put as many of the shocks as you can where they will tit- protected by this guard. If stacks SJN located where fire from a railroad may reach them, plow or burn fire guards around such stacks. Protect meadows by burning or plowing fire guards, of sufficient width. 300 feet from the track. We are convinced thai if these suggestions are ourrieVl t i t, much property can be saved, and if anyone -refuses to co-operate you Bbould promptly notify the state eeuncil. giving name and address of r-- h persons.

That's why the farmers arc putting up thousands of these gates very year. They have found that here is the tirst practical farm gate dne that will really stand the hardest knocks, outlast the all-wood or Wire and gas-pipe pates three to one, and yet actually costs them no more than the cheapest homo-made gates they can build. CAN'T-SAG gates are not only stronger and cheaper, hut they are also the finest looking gates you can own. They swing both WSTS easily, and are guaranteed never to sag or drag. PUT UP GUARANTEED CAN T-SAG GATES Buy them complete or build them just as you prefer. We furnish the gate steels which includes angle steeples, hinges, braces, lag screws every thing including the lumber. We furnish them so that you can build them any , length or height.

HEILMAN, Manager Alliance, Nebraska BtEs jtt jUttKSUBBtfSBKu PESTS INJURE LIVE STOCK 8crew-Worm and Blow-Fly Trouble some to Stockmen In Different Parfe of Country. (Prepared In- the United Htataa Depart ment of Agriculture.) Itoth the so-called screw-worm and the blow-ily larvae commonly called maggots, are pests of prime importance to stock raisers. The screw-worm is often Coafused with the other species, especially during the spring nnd fall months. Injury to live stock from mag gots is more widespread than is that duo to the true, screw-worm. In fact, this maggot Injury may be found among live stock In any state of the Union, although It occurs most fre quently In the warmer portions of the country. The true screw-worm Inflicts enormous losses on the stock raisers of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Ari zona, aud southern California during reasons which are favorable for Its development. During the warmer por tions of the year It Is never entirely absent from this region nnd may also cause Injury to stock In the other Southern states, and as far north as Nebraska. The screw-worm Is a native of the Americas and has been causing trou ble to stockmen for tunny years. No doubt It Is largely due to this fact Hint cattlemen accept the pest as a necessary evil and always count npon "doctoring" a certain number of cuses every year. The seasonal abundance of the screw-worm fly depends largely tipon cllmutfc conditions. The first ap pearance of adults in numbers in spring varies from the first of April to the middle of June, according to the liit Kude and earllness or lateness of the season. Throughout most of the ter- J Black Blow-Fly, or Common Maggct Fly, as Seen From Above (En larged). rltory where it is a pest it usually be comes SI 1)111 during early May, and cases of screw-worm Injury be gin to appear soon after. The insect then gradually Increases in miiHWrs until the hot, dry weather of midsum mer, which in Texas usually reduces the abundance so that the Injury Is not Severe under-normal conditions In the months of July and August, unless considerable eteudy. end raiajr weather Occurs. It becomes more numerous gain iii the early fall, especially when the weather Is warm and showery, and its activities are terminated only with the advent of heavy frosts. The abun dance of this fly, of coarse, is depend ent to large exte ,t upon breeding places ai hand, but ii is also true that u wore hntnid Rtmosphers Is best suit ed to its development. GOOD FEED FOR LITTLE PIGS Scalding Middlings With Some Milk and Sweetened With Molasses Is Most Excellent. When pigs are about three weeks old they will want to eat more tan the milk they- can get from their mother. A smnll, shallow trough should be placed where the sow can nut get it. Scald some middlings, stir and pour hi some milk; If the milk Is sweeti all the better. Tut Into the feed about I tablospoonful of mo-Ins-.es. hrive the little pigs ear. -fully over tla- trough. They will get tin odor from the RMdSSSfS . put their noses to the feed, lap It, and begin to eat. KEEP DUAL-PURPOSE CATTLE Popular With Farmer Who Must De pend on Few Animals for Milk and Butter for Family. (From the United States Department of Agriculture.) The dual purpose eat lie are popular with the small farmer who keeps hut a few cuttle anS must depend on them to produce all the milk and butter needed for the family and, at the same time, raise cnlves or steers which will sell readily for slaughtering pur poses. They have uot been iopular with the ranchmen or farmer who raise large numbers of cattle. Conserve Your Money It is just as vital that the wealth of the citizens of this counV try he conserved as that any other necessity be conserved t aid in the winning of the War. Money is the greatest requirement of the Government; the absolutely paramount commodity, the essential thing whisk we can all have a part in providing. The Capital Issues Committee Was Created to Help Conserve Money The Capital Issues Committee bus legal jurisdiction ovW all issues in excess of $1 00,000 and has requested that all issues of $100,000 or less be submitted to the District Com mittee for approval. It will be regarded as an unpatriotic act for any stock to be sol, I wh ieli has not received the permission of the Cap ital Issues Committee, and all citizens are asked to co operate with the Committee by refusing to buy any stock w liieh has uot been submitted to the Committee and received the proper permit. Insist Upon Seeing the Permit Before Buying Any Stock When yu arc asked to buy atock or bends in any com pany, insist upon seeing the permit of the Capital Issues Committee for its sale. Do not accept any statement that it is all right, that the permit ia in the offices of the com pany. DO NOT BUY ANY STOCK unjesadhe proper per mit is produced for your inspection. Do not trade your LIBERTY BONDS for any stock, no matter if a permit for its aale has been issued or not. The boya at the front have enlisted for the duration of the War. Surely you should enlist your money without ree ervatiou. You owe to the Government your co-operation in providing the money needed to carry on the War, and the Capital Issues Committee helps yob to avoid non-essential invest iuents. Please do all that you can to assist the Government in this direction. ASA E.
