VAOB SIXTKKN THE ALLIANCE HERALD, ALLIANCE, NEBRASKA, OCTOBER 30, 1919 GOOD LOADING IN CARS AND PRECAUTIONS ' AGAINST DEVELOPMENT OF DISEASE URGEE BYERS BROS. & CO. INCORPORATED : i : l I WftPflflSj .' Huckitv Salvaging Damaged Potatoes In Freight Yard. (Prepared by the United State Depart ment of Agriculture.) Cars of fruit and vegetables are often dumped at large market terml mils but persons who witness this pro ceeding should not conclude that this practice is uneconomic or dona to keep up prices, according to men la the bureau of markets, United States department of agriculture. The whole tale dealer Is not In a position to re sort and repack damaged produce and often enough decay Is present to ren der the produce unsalable la its orig inal container or bulk shipment.. Sometimes hucksters do go over the damaged cars and salvage a limited amount of food. More often, however, the labor cost of such salvage work Is greater than the value of the products saved. , Losses May Start on Farm. There are many causes for loss of perishable foods between the farm field and the market Some of these causes go back to the time crops are harvested. Take potatoes, for Instance, which are Injured In digging. Unless these Injured potatoes are sorted out and not packed with the good pota toes, rot may develop In the shipment and spread rapidly to other potatoes, especially If the temperature In the car Is favorable for rot to develop. Anothei source of great loss In per ishables Is found In lack of care In loading. The packages roust be spaced to permit air circulation and also braced to prevent shifting. Tempera ture can not be controlled In loads packed solid without any nlr spaces between the containers, while bracing must be carefully done or packages arrive containing only a part of their orlglpal contents. Although cere In packing, loading, and bracing cars of potatoes, cabbage, and the less perishable fruits and vegetables Is necessary to prevent damage la ordinary freight cars, It l far more necessary for highly perish able products that move to market In refrigerator cars, such as strawber ries, peaches, pears, grapes, lettuce, and celery. Such products, even with the best of care, may arrive at city terminals In damaged condition caused by delay In transportation, overripe ness, or disease developed In transit because temperatures were not under control while the cars were en route. Disease In Shipped Products. In the case of plant diseases de veloped In transit, there may not hava been any Indication that the disease was present when the car was loaded, and perhaps the shipper thought that his crop was free from disease. Prop er refrigeration plenty of Ice and air circulation holds diseases In check and unless long delays In tran sit occur such perishable produce might arrive In good condition. Such shipments, however, often deteriorate rapidly after being unloaded and must be handled Quickly and consumed be fore rot develops. Through the food products Inspec tion service of the department of agri culture, the facts concerning losses through plant diseases developed In transit are being studied and labora tories have been established at New York and Chicago to work on these diseases, riant pathologists now re port on shipments that develop dis ease and this Information Is made available to producers and shippers where the fruit and vegetables were grown, In order that prevention may begin in the field and packing house. lil ltSON AN II IIKIXZ 8ALH NOYKM11KH 12 AT MOIUILM, A Royal Offering of RoyiUly-Ilred Cattle 1 When these two Hereford men be gan planning for, this sale the first decision reached was that only strict ly high-class animals should go into the offering. And each one has stuck by the ship, although, In several cases It hurt pretty bad. Being determin ed to put their herds and their com munity on the Hereford map in such a way as to convince the whole fra ternity that they can and do raise as good cattle there as anywhere, they have made up an offering of CO fe males end ten bulls, practically every one of which would bo a headliner In an ordinary sale. The wealth of these pedigrees will surprise those who are not familiar with these herds, aa will the Individuals going Into the sale. There Is Beau Mischief and Domino breeding galore In the Buraon offer ing, with the females In calf to his great breeding bull, Mischief Domino 3rd, a product of these two popular families. I would emphasize the ex ceptional quality of the sensational bull calf Superior Domino 5th. This Is a most remarkable calf, a high class show bull and a great herd bull prospect. If ever a calf of his age had better quarters I never saw or heard of him. The daughter of Prince Imperial is another outstanding indi vidual entitled to the highest honors. Great show and breeding material here. Mr. Helm's consignment Is made up of young females of bis own breeding cattle that descend from a Btrong Beau Donald foundation cattle that are real producers the kind it pays to keep in your breeding herd. Almost all of the 25 head will have calves at foot sale day by a Beau Donald or a Domino bred bull, and will as far as possible will be rebred to his good son of Beau Mis chief. Mischief Mixer 10th. The bull offering Is also very high-class, in cluding high-class herd headers and outstanding herd bull prospects. All but two or three are either Beau Mis chief or Domino breeding. I take pleasure in commending this offer ing to the lovers of good Anxiety Bred Herefords. C. A. Metsker, in the Hereford Journal.

MRS. BAUGHMAN . CAINS 23 POUNDS Cedar tlnpldn Woman Feels Like a New Person Since Tak Ing TanlAc "Besides getting relief from my awful suffering I have- actually gained twenty-three pounds in weight and you may know by that what I think of Tanlac," said Mrs. Sadie Baughman, residing at 1252 F street, East Cedar Rapids, Iowa, In an interview recently; Mrs. Baughman is the wife of Harry C. Baughman, a valued employe of the Quaker Oats company. Her state ment while, indeed, remarkable, Is by no means unusual as many thou sands throughout the United States and Canada have testified to having used the Master Medicine with' the same wonderful results. "It has been something less than three months now," continued Mrs. Baughman, "Bince I began taking Tanlac and if anyone could feel like a new person I do. I had been suf fering from stomach trouble, rheu matism and extreme nervousness for five years. My liver was also In a very bad condition as my skin was as yellow as a pumpkin. My food would sour on my stomach causing gas, pains and spells of palpitation of the heart when it Just seemed like my breath would slop. It seemed that I was right on the verge of nerv ous prostration and my lower limbs ached so with rheumatism that 1 could hardly stand It. I could neither rest myself or let anyone else In the house rest, I was so nervous and mis erable. These troubles had reduced my weight until I was almost a liv ing skeleton and was so run down and felt so badly that I could not attend to my household affairs. "I had used everything In the way of medicines and had been told a number of times that an operation was my only hope of recovery, but I have gotten rid of it all by taking a few bottles of Tanlac. My husband had been trying to get me to try Tan lac for sometime, but I refused to do1 so because I thought it was like other things I had taken and and would do me no good. But I kept on suffering and getyng worse until one day he brought home a bottle and insisted so that I began taking it. Well. It wasn't long until I found Tanlac was altogether different from any other medicine I had ever usel, for soon after starting on my, sec ond bottle there was a wonderful change in ry feelings. I am now eating Just anything J want and am never troubled the least bit with gas on my stomach, palpitation of the heart or any uncomfortable feeling afterwards. My complexion has cleared up until it is like new. The rheumatic pain bas disappeared from my limbs and my nerves have quieted down until I can sleep Just like a baby. I am really and truly feeling like a new person and owe It all to Tanlac." Tanlac Is sold In Alliance by F. E. Holsten, In Hemingford by Hemlng- ford Merc. Co., in Hoffland by Mal- lery Grocery Co.
