THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE, NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA, HOW MRS. BOYD AVOIDED AN I OPERATION Canton, Ohio. "I suffered from a female trouble which cauoed mo much suffering, and two doctors decided that I would have to go through an operation before- I could get well. "My mother, who had been helped by LydiaE.Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, advised ma to try it before sub mitting to an opera tion. It relieved mo from mv troubles o I can do my houao work without any difficulty. I advise any woman who is filleted with female troubles to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound a trial and it will do as much for them." Mrs. Marie Boyd, 1421 Ctb St, N. E., Canton, Ohio. Sometimes there are serious condi tions where a hospital operation is tho only alternative, but on tho other hand to many women have been cured by this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, after doctors have said that an operation was accessary every woman who wants to avoid on operation should give it a fair trial before submitting to such a trying ordeal. If complications exist, write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass., for advice. The result of many years experience is at your service. r WHYNOT Drink the Best?

(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Tho only reason for crowning n road surface Is to enable It to shed water, and unless effective means are provided for disposing of tlio wntor nftcr It Is drained off tho surface crowning will be of very little, If any, ndvantnge. Tho sldo ditches should bo amply large and should have suf ficient fall to carry the water away as rapidly as It enters them, and they should havo outlets at all con venient points. Cross drains or cul verts should bo constructed wherever i Kfc' Good Road Middle Is Kept High and Water Drains to Sides. It Is desirable to transfer drainage water across the road, and they should usually be provided with cud or wing walls for protecting the slopes of tho embankment. When the material composing the roadbed Is likely to bo springy, a system of longitudinal un-der-dralnago may be found necessary to secure proper drainage. In con structing a road, of any type what ever, It should be constantly borne In mind that adequate and continu ally effectlvodrainagc is absolutely necessary If the road Is to bo main tained in good condition. WORKING ON DIXIE HIGHWAY In Illinois Improvement Will Extend Over Distance of 54.5 Miles Costing $904,700. One of the features of the year's work will bo the Improvement of the Dixie highway, which will be dono by the states acting In co-operation with tho government. Thus In Illi nois the highway will he Improved from the county line north through Will, Kankakee and Iroquois coun ties to the Vermilion county- line running south. This work will ex tend over a distance of 04.5 miles at u cost of 901,700 and the construc tion will bo of cdncrelo and bltuml nous macadam. At the same time Georgia will ht, working on the road from Atlanta through to Macon, through Clayton Henry, Spauldlng, Pike and Monroe counties, a distance of seventy-twa tulles and a continuation of the Dixie line In that state. In Tennessee and Kentucky projects will bo under wuy which will further servo to Improve this famous old highway which cuts through the central section of the country from north to south. PATCHING IN RIGHT MANNER Work Done Properly Wfillo Road la Wet and Followed by Drag Is Superior Plan. Patching done In the proper manner when the roud Is wet, followed by a road drng, will maintain nn old gravel road surface us good us new until It is bo badly worn that an entire new sur face Is required. Tho gravel should never be poorer thuu that forming the surface layer of the old road, and es pecially should not contain an excess of clay. Civilize and Educate.

The Farm Tractor. Let tho farm tractor and tho gas englno do their part to solvo the labor question. They will relieve one of many a hard task and will stay on Uie job Indefinitely. SECURE FARM NOW Western Canada Offers Oppor tunity to the Ambitious. Fertile Land at Moderate Cost, With Social and Other Advantages That Mean So Much, Will Soon Be Taken Up. The deslro to have n piece of lnnd of one's own Is u natural Instinct In the heart of every properly developed man and woman. In earlier years, on account of the great areas of land available In the United States, no great dllllculty wns experienced by any nm bltlous settler who wished to become his own landholder, but the rapid Increase In population, combined with the corresponding rise In thc-prlce of lnnd, has completely changed this con dition. Land which a generation ago might be had for homesteadlng, now commands 'prices ranging to $100 nn acre and over. At such prices It Is quite hopeless for the city man with limited capital, to attempt to buy n farm of his own. To pay for It be comes n lifelong task, and the prob ability Is that he will never do more than meet the Interest charges. If he Is serious In his desires to secure a farm home ho must look to coun tries where there Is -still abundant fertile land available at moderate cost, and where these lands are to be pur chased on terms which make It pos ilble for the settler with small capi tal to become a farm owner ns tho result of a few years labor. He will also want land In a country where the practices of -the people are simi lar to those to which he las been ac customed; n country with the same language, same religion, same general habits of living, with laws, currency, weights and measures, etc., based on the ame principles ns those with which he Is familiar. He wants a country where he can buy land from $20 to f40 an acre which will produce na big or bigger crops ns those he has been accustomed to from lands at $100 an ncre. He wnnts this land where loclal conditions will be attractive to himself and family, and where he can look forward with confidence to being In a few years Independent, nnd well started on the road to financial suc cess. All these conditions he will find In western Canada. The provinces of Al berta, Saskatchewan, nnd Manitoba provide the one and only answer to the land-hungry. The land Is there; It is the kind of land he wants; the conditions are as nearly Ideal as Is possible, and the prices and terms are auch that the man of moderate capi tal has nn opportunity not available to him elsewhere. Land values are going to Increase, but It will largely depend on how well the soli can be used, and the modern farmer is using It each year to better advantage. But those who aro on the ground and come closest to the heart of the farming sections ore convinced thnt no material decrease in value Is In sight. Indeed, they are almost unanimous In believing that we shall see a strong real estate market for fertile land, with prices maintained; nnd as de velopment and further equipments are added the prices on the open market mny be expected to show n further In crease as the years go on up to the limit of Income plus, what men are willing to pay to possess an attractive home. Someone once said : "Never sol! short on the United States. You will lose every time." Ami this applies to those who are Inclined to believe thnt the future of furm values Is In doubt. The American fanner Is' going for ward, not backward, and the 'same . mny be nnld of the Canadian fanner. Advertisement. Some folks are horn simple nnd others play the stock market.

Adv. !1 EARLY HATCHING IS FAVORED Poultryman Enabled to Get Chicks Started Before Hot Weather Rapid Qalns Insured. (Prepared by tlio United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) In order to hnve eggs when eggs nro soiree begin operations In early spring to plan for enrly-hatched chicks. Early hashing enables tho pnultrymnn to got his chicks started before hot weather, which retards their growth ami which, with the presence of lice, causes millions of lute-hatched chicks to die each yenr. Pullets hatched early produce eggs In tho fall when Early-Hatched Pullet Mature and Laying on September 26. hens are molting. Early-hatched cockerels bring tho best prices nnd early layers will brood early the fol lowing sprlug. Contrary to general belief chicks do not grow or thrive as well during warm months or hot summer days as they do earlier In the spring. Chlcka hatched early are stronger, thrive bet ter and hnve the advantage of a longer growing season. Early hatching not j only Insures more rapid gains In tho j growth of chicks but has a favorablo ' Influence on the size of the Individuals of the flock. Late-hntched chicks rnre ( ly If ever attain the size of those hatched early. Given the snme feed, care and atten tion, chicks hatched In March and April will weigh more when they are four months old than those hutched In Mny and June. The enrly-hatched chick, having tho advantage of n moro favorable growing season, mnkes greater gains during the first foui months of Its life thnn the late- hntched chick. During tho early spring months when the temperature Is not so varied the growth of chicks Is more uniform nnd constant than It Is dui Ing the summer. If for no other rea son chicks should he hatched enrly so their growth will not be Interrupted by the presence of lice, which nro much more plentiful and destructive In hot weather than In tho cooler days of spring. Many farmers and poultrymcn real ize considerable money each spring from the snle of broilers, tho prlco of which is usually governed by their slz? when sold and the tlmo mnrketed. Thus it would seem that In order to Increase the amount of money from the sale of broilers nnd fryers enrly hatching would be employed so as to have a marketable-sized fowl early In the spring when prices nre highest. WASHING WILL HELP DECAY Many Eggs Are Spoiled Each Year Be cause Tney nave Become wci Before Reaching Market. It Is estlmnted that moro than 5,000, 000 eggs nre spoiled every year because they have been washed or In some way have become wet beforo reaching mar' ket. Tho shell of an egg contains n gelntlnous substance which prevents nlr und germs from entering tho eggs Washing destroys this eubstanco nnd promotes decay. A system of cleanliness In poultry raising Is desirable. Dens must have things to cnt that contuln egg-making elements. The hen ns n rule Is a better sitter thnn tho pullet for tho Incubntlon of eggs. When mites, lice, ticks, flcns, etc., once get a start they are very trou blesome. Egg testers uro "to ho easily had from manufacturers and dealers In poultry supplies. To successfully hatch chicks great care should ho exercised In tho elec tlon of tho sitting hen. Any old hen seldom does in theso matters. There uro four common breeds of geese, 'the Toulouse, African, Emhdcn and the Whlto Chlniu Of theso tho Toulouse is tho most popular und most generally raised.
