THE SEMI WEEKLY TRIBUNE, NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. Mil Read Our The Ranger By ZANE GREY Buck Duane was one of those heroic, determined body of men the Texas rangers who did much to make the Texas border country inhabitable that is he became a Ranger after riding the plains for years as an outlaw. Buck is the central character of this thrilling new serial we have secured and which will be pritited in installments in this paper. Buck was no or dinary sort of mortal. .With possibly a single exception he was the quickest man on the draw who ever lived m the He became an outlaw force of west. through heredity and cir cumstances. His family was: held in high respect; in young Duane him self there was not a single bad or law less tendency ex cept the instinct to fight Buck inher ited this tempera ment, this almost .uncontrollably vio lent, and swift reaction under insult or threat As was inevitable, he was bullied by a vicious ruffian, met his man, killed him and fled to the wild country border-, ing the Rio Grande, an outlaw. Duane, with his courage, his cleanness of mind, his clear-cut decisiveness and ef ficiency, captivates your imagination, and, although no glamour is thrown over homicide, it is remarkable how persist ently one's sympathy follows him 'through all his adventures adventures in which there is not one really unjustifiable killing. For several years he leads the life of an outlaw, riding the wild stretches, hiding, camping wm bandits and snooting des peradoes. But before the end ciety by the influence of a discerning captain of Rangers, who opens for him the way to a good life, and by the love of a woman. Don't Miss This Big Feature!

Tho tedious task of Juind milking lias been one of the , greatest drawbacks tho dairying Industry has had. The monotony of having to milk a largo number of cows each day has kept many men from entering the business when they might have mado a great success of It. Mnchlno milking Is not only feasible, but It is. practicable, there being thousands of cows ma chine-milked each day In the country. Prize Stock on Oklahoma Farm. They are milked faster nnd more, gen tly than most haud-rallked cows. Orio man can milk 12 to 25 cows an hour, with the' proper equipment of machine. Tho speed mado depends moro on tho operator .than on the mn chlno. However, If you had to hire ouo man eight hours each day to do tho milking, you would get moro profit than you would by taking a half dozen farmhands from the fields , an hour earlier than they should quit work. . In tho past much trouble has been experienced In getting efficient ma chines. Muny of the earlier makes left much milk In tho udders to be re moved by hand. Great Improvements have been mude In the last few years, however, and now machines can bo had that will removo practically all tho milk. KEEPING UP THE MILK FLOW Summer Silo Gaining Favor as Source of Succulent Feed Some Grain Should Be Given. Tho summer silo Is gaining favor rapidly as a supply sourco of a suf ficient amount of succulent feed. Many dairy farmers feed silage every day lu tho year and especially when pasturo Is not to bo bad. A small silo built and filled In tho fall to bo opened In July Is tho most economical method of supplying a succulent ration during short pastures. Sllago left ovor from winter feeding may bo kept with very llttlo loss un til midsummer. Cows should bo fed from '10 to 50 pounds of sllago ench day. Sllago nlono docs not furnish a balanced ration so sonio grain should bo fed, especially to tho cows that give tho most milk. At least ono pound of cottonseed meal should bo included on tho dally grain ration. SKIM MILK NEEDED ON FARM Excellent Feed for Calves, Chickens and Pino Don't Send to Mar- ket In Cream. Creamery men advise the farmer to sell only rich crcnui, because it is an ndvnntago to all parties concerned Every bit of skim milk Is needed on the farm as feed for calves, chickens and pigs, and It does harm instead of good if sent to market In tho cream. Of course, if the cream is sold by the pint or quart, instead of on tv butter-fsf-'s il tho Htory Is somewhat dllfer eiitrbut wherever tho grading system In in operation, every bit of skim milk marketed is worse than wasted so fur us both buyer ncd-sullcr aro concerned. FEEDING VALUE 0F ALFALFA Important That Hay Be Cured So as to Saua LeavesRake Into Wind rows Before Dry. Two-thirds of tho feeding vuluo of tho alfalfa plant is in tho leaves. If tho leaves am lost in curing only one- third of tho feeding vnluo remains, This makes It laportant that alfalfa hay bo cured so as to savo tho leaves, This means that tho alfalfa must bo raked Into windrows before tho leaves dry or they will fall off. The alfalfa should uo raked Into windrows an hour or two after being cut. This not only saves tho leaves but also keens It green and mora o Umj flavor Is. re talued N JELLY SEASON I METHODS OF PUTTING UP VARl- OU8 KINDS OF FRUIT. Tartaric or Citric Acid Added to the Juice Will Be Found to Effect an Improvement Must Not Bo Used Always. It Is Just about as easy, to mako Jelly from apples, quinces, peaches, or pears ns from any other kind of fruit. If you know how, according to Miss Addlo D. Root of the Missouri Collego of Agriculture. All that Is necessary Is to add enough tartaric or citric acid to -tho Juice to make-It tnsto about ns sour as a good sour apple. This usu ally means about a level teaspoonful jto a quart of Juice. It destroys Jho dcllcato flavor of peuch nnd pear Julco somcwhnt but Improves tho flavor of sweet npplo nnd quince Juice. ' Blackberries, blueberries, raspber ries, partially rlpo grapes, crab op Iples, sour apples, and pliims usually mako good Jelly because they havo enough ncld already and also contnln a substnnco called pectin which must bo present and must bo brought out with tho Juice by heating If Jelly is to be made. That Is why Jelly-makcra do not slroply'press out the Julco from .cold fruit. All apples 'and similar fruits have enough pectin for Jelly ranklng purposes. In making npplo Jelly cover tho fruit with water before cooking and boll 20 or 80 minutes. After boil ing has continued 10 or 15 minutes, add three-quarters of n cupful of sugar for every cupful of Julco. The sugar that will be required should have been 'measured Into a pan and warmed In tho oven for a while before It Is ndded. It should bo carefully stirred In to pre vent burning. As soon ns the glasses are filled with tho hot Jelly they should bo set In a cool place whllo Jellying takes place. They should bo sealed from tho air, but If tho Jelly has been slightly over cooked It may be covered with panes of glass and allowed to harden In tho sun. When It Is well set pour hot par affin ovcr'tho top nnd put clean tin covers on th3 glasses. Store them away In a dry, cool .place whevo the Jelly cannot mold. HOUSEHOLD HINTS A hot Iron will soften old putty so that It can bo easily removed. Never use water from a stone reser voir for cooking purposes. Never allow fresh meat to remain In pape'rj it absorbs the Juice. Lemons will keep fresh if stowpd in dry sand separately. Salt will removo tho stain from sil ver caused by egg, when applied dry with a soft cloth. - To polish n black, marblo clock rub over with ollvo oil and finish with a ,clcan chamois leather. Never keep vinegar or yenst in stone crocks or Jugs; their ncld attacks the glazing, which is said to bo poisonous. Put a silvered spoon Into the most delicate glass and boiling hot liquids can bo poured into It without break ing It. . . Health Hints for Hot Weather. Bo sure tho leftover food Is not con taminated by flies. Be sure- tho Icebox Is immaculate. Remember that germs cannot resist boiling, and If there Is nny sick child or person in the house hold the safest way is to use- enameled' wnro in tho sick room and boll It thor oughly before It Is used again otr by another member of tho family. Fly screens are uicful In keeping; out ft!esr but. do not savo ono from: tho- neces sity of killing tho flics that are already (nslde the house. AH fruit and vege tables should bo very carefully washed. nnd, better still, peeled If they have had much handling. Take reasonable precautions of this kind nnd then don't worry. Many a child has been. worried into nn Illness by an overanx ious mother.
