THE 8EMLWEEKLV TRIBUNE, NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. WHY WOMEN WRITE LETTERS To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi cln Co. Women who nro well often nslc "Are tho lottera which tho Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. nro continually publishing, Conuine?" "Are they truthful?" " Why do women write ouch lottera? " In answer wo Bay that novcr have wo published a fictitious lotter or name. Never, knowingly, liavo wo published an untruthful letter, or ono without tho full and written consent of tho woman who wrote It. Tho reason that thousands of women from nil parts of tho country write such grateful lottera to tho Lydin E. Pink ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetablo Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering. It has relioved women from soma of tho worst forma of female ills, from dis placements, inflammation, ulceration, irregularities, nervousness, wezkness, tomach troubles and from tho blues. It is impossible for any woman who Is well and who has never suffered to realize how theso poor, suffering wo men feel when re stored to health: their keen desire Xo belp other women who are suffering as 1 they did.

Seems Probable That Within Few Years Supply for Large Cities" Will Be Thus Treated Three Proc esses Now In Use. There Is no valid objection to pas teurization when properly performed, and the process inukes snfer oven the nost carefully handled and Inspected milk. It seems probable that within Iho next two years a large proportion jf tho milk supply In the largo cities vlll bo pasteurized. There Is already a marked tendency In this direction. Before tho valifb of pasteurization as a hygienic measure was ns well recognized ns It Is today, It was prac ticed In secret by a number o'f milk dealers ns u means of preserving milk and preventing It from souring. Its commercial value In this respect is undoubtedly great, but its chief func tion Is tho destruction of disease-producing organisms. Proper pasteuriza tion should destroy about 1)9 per cent of nil tho bacteria In tho milk, al though when tho bacterial count of tho raw milk Is low tho reduction may bo 3omowhnt smaller. The cfllclcncy of the process, it Is pointed out, cannot dink Arranged for Pasteurization of Milk. bo bnsed on tho per cent, but rather on the character of the bacteria de stroyed. The kinds of bacteria that remain alive after pasteurization depend on tho temperature to which tho milk Is heated and tho species of bacteria which are in the raw milk. Threo processes of pasteurization, known re spectively ns tho flash process, the holder process and pasteurization in the bottle, are now practiced In this country. In the flash process the milk is raised quickly to u temperuture of about 1G0 degrees F. or more, held there for from 30 seconds to a minute, and then cooled quickly. In tho holder process the milk Is heated to a tern peraturo of from 140 degrees to 150 degrees F. and held there for half an hour. When pasteurization In bottles Is practiced, tho raw milk Is put into bottles with water-tight seal caps, which are Immersed In hot water and held for from 20 to 30 minutes nt u temperature of 145 degrees F. In this way the pusteurlzed milk is not sub jected to any danger of reinfection. On the other hand, the seal caps must be absolutely tight and this Involves Increased cost. In general, It may bo said that tho holder process Is coming Into greater favor than either of the others. This process permits of the use of lower temperatures which, for various reasons, Is highly desirable. RATE OF SEEDING FLAX CROP Where Rainfall Is Not More Than Twenty Inches Twenty Pounds to Acre Is Recommended. Where tho annual rainfall Is not more than 20 Inches, flux need not be sown nt a greater rata than 20 pounds . to tho acre. This should be reduced to 15 pouuds under drier conditions. Where tho rainfall 1s more thnn 20 Inches, a slightly higher yield may bo obtained If 25 pounds are sown to tho . acre. The sowing of moro thun 25 ,pounds to the acre on uonlrrlgnted '. land does not pay. SHALLOW PLOWING IN FAVOR ' Loose Soli Conserves Moisture Kills ! Weeds and Puts Land In Much Better Condition. ! Water movas slowly through a loose J soil aud a loose soli will, therefore, servo as a mulch and conserve mols- turc. This is ono of the reasons for shallow cultivation. Killing weeds, putting the land In better physlcul condition and furnishing modes of en trance for oxygen and nitrogen uro other reasons. Failure to cultivate properly Is one way of fanning nt a loss. PAINT IS GOOD INVESTMENT It Is Necessity If Life of Culldlna Is to Be Considered Apply Often as Required. Paint is not u luxury to be added to Urt building soma time In the future jperhups not until decay has taken place It Is a necessity If the life of tan building is to be considered, and In profitable Investment that should be made ns often as the farm buildings require it USING WHEAT FOR HOG FEED Information of Much Value Obtained In Experimental Work Carried On at Missouri College. (By U A. WEAVEK. Missouri Aerlcul. turnl Experiment Station.) Tho Missouri agricultural oxperi mcnt station has obtained information of value to pork producers, especially in sensous when tho corn crop is short, by carrying on experimental work with other crops grown on the f.trm. By conducting feeding trials with wheat It JiaS been shown that under some conditions wheat may well be used for hog feeding Instead of corn. Results obtained show that when corn Is worth 70 cents or moro n bushel, wheat may be trofitnbly substituted for corn, If tho whent Is worth 00 cents or less. Likewise If corn Is worth 80 cents per bushel, wheat is worth $1.03 u bushel as hog feed. It has benn further shown that pork may be produced moro chenply-by ad ding n small amount of tankage to a mixture of corn and wheat than by feeding theso feeds without such a supplement. For example, the cost of producing 100 pounds of pork with corn and tank ago was GO cents less thnn when corn alone was used. This would mean nn additional profit to tho pro ducer of $100 or more on each carload of hogs fed. The results of theso tests are report ed In full In Bulletin 180 entitled Feed ing Wheat to Fattening Hogs, pub lished by the Missouri agricultural ex periment station. v WHITEWASH ABOUT THE FARM Recipe Given by Nebraska College of Agriculture Great Help In De stroying Insects. For general use about tho farm buildings to assist In destroying In sects, tho following recipe for white wash is offered by tho Nebraska Col lego of Agriculture: Slake five quarts of lime with hot water to about tho1 consistency of cream. To this add one pint of zcuolcum or some other coal-tar product, and ono quart of kerosene. Dilute with about Its vol ume of wnter; apply with n brush or a pump. This solution when properly applied accomplishes three things: (1) Zenoleum nets ns a disinfectant by killing dlscnse germs; (2) the kerosene aids In destroying mites; and (2) the lime whitens tho house. METHOD FOR CLEARING LAND Combination of Blasting and Stump Pulling Is Favored at Univer sity of Wisconsin. ' As a result of experiments with stump pullers and dynumlte working together on tho university's demon stration tour, the University of Wis consin has discovered that the best method of clearing land is a combina tion of blasting and stump pulling. Tho stump puller people admitted that time, labor and money could bo saved by first looscnlng'the stumps by blast ing before pulling them, nnd tho pow der men admitted that a similar sav ing could be effected by having a stump puller complete the Job after a comparatively light charge of pow der had done Its preliminary, pre-, paratory work on tho stump. KEEP WHEEL FROM' RATTLING New Process Provides an Expander Bolt for Purpose Which Is Fitted Into Wheel Rim. A now method has been devised to stop a buggy or wngon wheel from rat- .tllng. Instead of having the black smith remove a 'tiro and shrink It on ngaln to compress loose purts, tho new process provides nn expander bolt for Screw Keeps Tiro Secure. tho purpose. A section of the felly Is cut out In order to give necessary room for this expansion. With n tire already in place, tho bolt Is turned, forcing tho wooden rim tight against tho outer steel hoop. As a result all looseness In the rim Is taken up. Pop ulur Mechanics, OVERFEEDING ON GREEN FOOD Proper Cure for Bloat Is Inclsjon With Trocar to Permit Accumulated Gas to Escape. Ilovcn or bloat Is a drumllkc swell ing of front hip, left side, tho result of overfeeding on green foqd or wet clover. The proper euro Is nn incision with n cattle trocar, relieving the ac cumulated gas. If the disease Is not properly nnd promptly attended lo your cow will die. KEEP WATCH ON THE CHICKS bon't Let Them Crowd In Brood Coop Few Minutes Time May 8ave an Entire Brood. If your chicks are still lu the small brood coop, yon must watch them when tho hens begin to leave, as thoy aro apt to crowd Into ono coop nnd lose nn entire brood. A few minutes each evening may mean mnny dollars profit or Iosh, according to the value of your chicks. i INCREASING YIELD OF MILK Two Quarts of Wheat Bran Morning and Evening Will Bring About Desired Results From Cows. If Uic milk Is sold it will pay to glvo each cow two quarts of wheat bran morning nnd evening. Glvo n forkful of hay or straw to each tho first thing in tho morning, nnd after tho liny Is eaten tho bran may bo given. This method of feeding keeps tho cows In good order, tho milk yield Is increased and thcro Is less danger from bloat from eating wet clover. Another ad vantage from feeding bran comes Right Kind to Keep for Milk. from tho fact thnt less grass will bo needed by the cows, and tho droppings from tho cows will enrich tho pnaturo to a considerable extent. The mnnuro should bo broken fine and spread over tho sod and not left In a solid enko to kill tho grass under It. Keep tho cows In tho pasture day and night. It may not pay to feed grain on some farms, especially when tho grass is abundant. Most milk farmers be lieve It pays to feed n llttlo grain all through tho summer months this Is the custom in most dairy districts. If grain cannot be fed, arrange to havo plenty of fodder corn, millet or sugar cane. Fodder corn has tho most food value when tho Corn Is lu silk. Gut nnd allow the fodder to wilt a few hours before feeding. Placo an nrmful of this fodder In each cow's stall for tho night's feed, tho cows will bo ready to come to the stable In milking timo as soon as the pastufo gato Is opened. Grnln or n forkful of green feed In tho cows stall will keep them quiet during tho time of milking and a larger yield of milk may bo had when this Is pro vided. PICKED UP AROUND DAIRY Small-Top Milk Pail Is Necessary Dirty Milk Is Dangerous Alvays Feed Full Ration. 'Tho small-top milk pall Is a neces sity in tho production of clean milk. Dirty milk Is more dangerous thnn dirty water because disease germs that would starve In wnter will multiply rapidly in milk. When the dairy cow Is fed Just enough to maintain her body weight she cannot bo expected to glvo much milk. - About one-half of tho nutrients in tho average ration go to sustain tho body. i Always feed a full ration. CALF REQUIRES MUCH CARE Future Success of Dairyman Depends Largely on Attention Given to Young Animals. Tho well-bred cnlf is mndo or un made tho first 12 months of Its life. Good dairymen nro poor calf raisers, and. this has resulted in tho stunted calf wo sco on tho nverago farm. Calves are well cared for In Holland nnd Den mark, which fact has had much to do with the development of tho Industry in tlioso countries. Tho future success of tho dairyman depends so largely ifpon tho enro of his culves that too much emphasis cannot bo pluced upon this subject. REMOVE CALjF FROM MOTHER Strong, Vigorous Youngster Can Very 8afcly Be Taken Away After One Good Filling Up. Tho time of tnklng a calf from Its mother should bo governed by tho condition of tho oalf. A strong, vig orous cnlf can very safely ho removed after onb good filling up; but It is a distinct mistake to take a weakly, poor-nourished calf from Its dam be fore threo days or a week. Common senso Is worth many fixed rules In handling stock particularly young stock. mm The Next Job. Mother Uavo you practiced Cho pin's "Ballad In A?" Gcrtlo Yes, mother.
