THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE, NORTH PLATTE. NEBRASKA. Many of the brnve women who attend our wounded heroes of this wnr are women who havo used Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription, or who recom mend it. The hospital, with its work and long hours, imposes extreme hard ahip on a woman's strength. Every woman should make herself fit for.war's call at home or abroad. She should obtain a book called the w Medical Adviser," either at her nearest drug tore or by sending 60 one-cent stamps to Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti tute, Buffalo, N. Y., for a book which tells about Nursing, Bandaging, Anat omy, Physiology, the Marriage Relation, Knowledgo of Sex. Thousands of women in the United States have overcome their sufferings, and have been cured of woman's ills, by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. So too, for liver and bowel troubles, nothing is bo effective or pleasant as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Sioux City, Iowa. "For the young girl developing into womanhood Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a won deiful tonic and builder. When I was sixteen years old I used to suffer in tensely and was very frail and delicato. Two bottles of the 'Prescription cured me of my pains and built me up into strong and healthy womanhood.

RELIABLE PRESCRIPTION FOR THE KIDNEYS For many years druggists have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medi cine. It is a physician's prescription. S .vamp-Root is a strengthening medi cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad der do the work nature intended they should do. Swamp-Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists on its merit and it should help you. No other kidney medi cine has so many friends. Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start treatment at once. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle.

"CUD"ESSENTIAL TO COW'S HEALTH Suspension of Chewing Is One of First Indications of Sick ness of Animal. FIND CAUSE OF DISTURBANCE With Return of Normal State Thero Will Be Restoration of Process of Digestion, Including Function of Rumination. (Prepared by tho United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Although the relation of the uct of chewing the cud to the natural process of digestion In cattle Is probably quite generally understood, the United States department of agriculture fre quetly receives Inquiries concerning the proper treatment for cattle which have "lost their cud," the Impression apparently being that the cud Is some thing which can mechanically disap pear, and when so lost must be re placed in order to restore thu unltnul to health. Is a Natural Process. Rumination or chewing tho cud Is a natural process In connection with the digestion of cattle and other ruminant animals. In ruminants the food when Hist taken into the stomach is Im perfectly chewed, and is returned to tho mouth for remastlcatlon. This re turned ball of food Is termed "the cud." So called loss of cud, the department explains, Is simply a suspension of chewing, frequently one of the first Indications of sickness in nny kind of ruminant animals, since ruminants generally stop chewing the cud when feeling out of condition. Any condi tion affecting the general health of cattle may result In suspension of chewing, and there Is almost certain to be an interruption of this process when there Is any pronounced dis turbance of digestion. Superstitious Methods. Plnclng wads of hay In the mouth, the use of salt pork, and similar meth ods for restoring the cud are the out- These Young Animals Are Growing Into Money Day and Night. come of local superstitions and a luck of knowledgo concerning the digestive process of the cow. Instead of such treatment an effort should be made to determine the exact nature of the illness affecting the cow with a view to applying proper treatment. It may be confidently expected with an approaching return of the animal to a state of normal health there will be a restoration of the process of di gestion, Including the function of rumination or cud-chewing. BIG GAIN IN POTATO YIELD Production Per Acre Is Thirty-Six Per Cent Higher Than That of Twenty Years Ago. (Prepared by ;ho United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Tho yield of potatoes per acre Is gradually Increasing In this country, as shown by the records of tho bureau of crop estimates of the United States department of agriculture. During 1800-1874 the average annual yield per nrre was 01 hushes, but tho average markedly declined to 71.J1 bushels In 1S8.r.-l8!H. Perceptible recovery wns made in the following ten-year period and a much larger recovery, rising to a new high-water mark, was readi ed In 190r-1014, with Its average yield of 97 bushels per acre. In 20 years the productivity of the average potato acre Increased !!0 per cent. This Increase is due to various causes, among which are greater spe cialization of production, more inten sive treatment, and higher fertility of the soil. The ten-year average yield of 07 bushels per acre' in 1003-1014 was followed by 00.3 bushels In 1010, 80.5 bushels In the very low year 1010, and 100.8 bushels In 1017. Compared with population, the yield of potntoes per aero declined from 1S00-1771 to 1005-1014. The gain of pioductlon per capita In recent years has been more because of Increased acreage than because of Increased pro duction per acre. KEEP SHEEP ON EVERY FARM No Other Animal Better Adapted to Convert Weeds and Waste Into Food and Clothing. No animal approaches the sheep In converting weeds and waste Into food and clothing. There Is a wealth of both In the wasted grass and weeds of barn lots, fields and roadsides. Let. there bo "a bunch of sheep on every farm." , I i ! CONVENIENT GRANARY FOR A GENERAL FARM Profitable for Every Farmer to Provide Adequate Storage. Excellent Arrangement Devised for Grain Farm Alleyway Provided Where Seed Can Be Fanned or Treated for Disease. (Prepared by tho Unltoil States Depart ment of Agriculture) In view of tho present high prices of all grains it is profitable manage ment for tho general farmer to provide adequate and dependable storage for these valuable farm products. Tho division of rural engineering of the bureau of public roads, United States department of agriculture, has devised an excellent arrangement for a largo granary adapted for the general grain farm. This storage is 24 by 14 feet In Hoor dimensions and is subdivided Into four bins, each of which Is 7 View of Granary Planned by Rural Engineers of Department of Agri culture. by 0 feet, nnd has a capacity of 450 bushels. Each bin Is provided with a door through which the grain may be distributed into tho storage, while It also has a protected scoop door through which the grain can bo delivered. Tho four bins front on an alleyway which Is C by 14 feet, where the seed can be fanned und cleaned or else treated against disease. In case of emergency, where the grain crop exceeds the permanent storage capacity, this space also may be par titioned off and utilized for storage purposes. The total capacity of the permanent bins is 1,800 bushels, while the emergency spneo also available In the central cleaning floor Increases the total possible storage to over 2,100 bushels. WATERING COWS IN WINTER Water Should Be Twenty Degrees Above Freezing Point Animals Need Ample Amount. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) All animals require plenty of good, pure water. This is especially true of the milking cow, as water constitutes more thnn three-fourths of the total volume of milk. The water supply, therefore, demands the dairyman's most careful attention. Stale or Im pure water is distasteful to the cow and she will not drink enough for mnx imum milk i oductlon. Such wnter mny also carry disease germs which might mnke the milk unsafe for hu man consumption or be dangerous to tho cow herself. During the winter, when cows are stabled the greater part of the time, they should be wntered two or three times a day unless ar rangements have been made to keep wnter before them at all times. The water should, If possible, be 15 or 20 degrees above the freezing point, nnd should be supplied at practically the same temperature every day. When wnter well above freezing temperature is stored In tanks and piped directly to the cow, there Is probably little oc casion for facilities to warm It. When It stands In n tank on which Ico often forms, It usually pays well to warm It slightly. This can be done by a tnnk henter, by live steam, or by hot wnter from a boiler. If a boiler Is used for running a separator or for heating wnter to wash and sterilize utensils, steam from it can readily and cheaply be used to warm the wnter. USE FOR FROSTED POTATOES Trials Show That Clean, White Starch of Good Quality Can Be Profitably Made. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Frosted and decayed potatoes have been found In trlnls conducted by the United States department of agricul ture to be entirely capable of produc ing acceptable and frequently normal yields of clean, white starch of good quality. Much of thlg material ap pears to possess a potential value for the production of sizing starch ap proximating that of the stock at pres ent used for this purpose. The me chanical difficulties In recovery from decayed pulp are sometimes grenter and sometimes less than from normal stock. Modified procedure adapted to these abnormal pulps doubtless could be devised, department specialists say, but there seems to be no reason why tho present method might not bo applied profitably In the menntlmo In the production of sizing starch In fac tories at the large shipping centers Installed to utilize tho great quanti ties of frozen und decayed potatoes arriving during tho full and winter. This would turn to profitable account large supplies at present without value, but which are a serious burden of expense since to their cost of pro duction must bo addd transportation und dumping charges.
