NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. y i ESCAPED AN OPERATION By Taking Lydio E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. Many Such Cases. Cairo. 111. "Sometime ago I got bo bad with female trouble that I thought i would havo to bo operated on. I had a bad displacement. My right side would pain me and I was so nervous I could not hold a glass of water. Many times I would have to stop my work and sit down or I would fall on the floor in a several doctors and very one told mo the same but I kept fighting to keep from having tho opera tion. I had read so many times of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it helped my sister so I began taking it. I have never felt better than I havo since then and I keep house and am ablo to do all my work. The Vegetable Com pound is certainly one grand medicine. " Mrs. J R. Matthews, 3311 Sycamore Street, Cairo, 111. Of courso there are many serious cases that only a surgical operation will re lieve. We freely acknowledge this, but the above letter, and many others like it, Amply prove that many operations are recommended when medicine in many cases is all that is needed.

Relieve throat Irritation, tickling and set rid of coughs, co Ida and hoarseness at once by taking PI SO S BEST CROPS TO SOW WITH CORN Rape, Hairy Vetch, Cowpeas or Soy Beans Arc All Well Adapted for Purpose. MOISTURE VERY IMPORTANT Because of Its Productivity, Does Not Stunt Corn and Is Relished by All Kinds of Live Stock, Rape Is the Most Favored. In determining the best crop to sow between the corn rows, the most Im portant consideration Is which crop will give tho greatest quantity of dry matter per aero for tho least consump tion of wnter. Some crops have n tendency to rob the corn of wnter to such an extent that the corn Is mate rially stunted; especially is this true in u dry senson. TJie best crops to sow from tho wn ter standpoint nre: Rape, hairy vetch, cowpens or soy beans. Most of these Soy Beana In Corn. hnve some other objection besides this that throws them out of consideration, except the rape. Rape Is Best Crop. Rape Is the best crop that I know to sow between the corn rows at the last cultivation, says a writer in an exchange. It Is n good producer, does not stunt tho corn to the extent that the sninll grains do, nnd It Is relished by nil kinds of stock. The rape can be sown just heforo tho Inst cultiva tion at tho rate of about 20 to 30 pounds of seed per acre. It can either he drilled with n small one-horse drill or better yet It can be sown broadcast. In tho latter case about 30 pounds of seed will be necessary. Hairy vetch Is not at all adapted to sowing between the corn rows in this manner, ns It requires later plnntlng, Is a winter cover crop nnd Is generally sown In September. Soy beans or cowpens nre nil right If the seed does not cost more than $1.00 or $1.25 nn acre, hut if the seed costs much moro than this tho growth obtnlned will bo entirely too smnll to pay for tho seed and the cost of the labor Involved. If these crops nre sown, about one-half to one bushel of seed Is required to tho acre, If It Is sown broadcast, and about 30 to -10 pounds If sown In drills 30 to 30 Inches apart. Small Grain Not Suited. Rye or other smnll grains are not well adapted to sowing between the corn rows because In nil but excep tionally wet years It tends to reduce tho yield of corn through robbing It of moisture. If a permanent pnsttire Is desired the following yenr, tho intertilled crop seed can be mixed half and half with the following grass seed mixture and the whole sowed broadcast between the rows: Blue grass, 15 pounds, tim othy 3 pounds, rod clover 5 pounds, nlslkp clover 3 pounds, and red top 8 pounds. This mixture will cost about ?3 or $1 per aero, but It will g'.ve a good, permanent pasture that will last for years. CONSERVING FEED FOR HENS Don't Encourage a Lot of Rats and Mice by Permitting Them to Eat Expensive Grain, Make every kernel of grain count this year In feeding poultry. Don't feed a lot of rats and mice from tho feed bin. Keep tho grain clean and dry. Moldy grain Is a dangerous nnd iinprotltahlo feed. Study to balance the rations for the growing stock as well as for the layers. Substitute as much as possible tho less expensive grains for whent. This may be done, in part, without any damage to the llock. RENOVATION OF POOR SOILS Use of Fertilizers and Favorable Weather Conditions Indicate In crease In Yields. Some of tho poorer sandy soil enn ho renovated at a reasonable cost and be made to produco profitable crops. The dntn secured so far In the use of fertilizers on light soils clenrly Indi cates thnt when they nre used proper ly, with tho right soil and weather conditions, profitable lncrenses In tho yields of all crops will bo obtnlned.

Closer Co-operation Is Developing Be tween the Public and Inspector and Veterinarians of Bureau of Animal Industry. (Prepared hy tho United Stnlos Depart ment of Agriculture.) Efforts are being made by the Bureau of Animal Industry, to point out the constructive side of regulatory work affecting quarantine, inspection, nml general Interstate handling of live stock. Disease eradication, the chiet of the bureau points out. is the basis of nmplo production nnd a llnul analysis of liberal consumption and proper nutrition. If the live-stock men of the country hnd to contend with pleuropneumonia, foot-and-mouth dis ease, surra, rinderpest, and other anlmnl scourges on top of their present problems, production certainly would fall nnd consumption would be cur tailed by reason of high prices neces sary to cover the risks of growing live stock. Fortunately, the list of diseases mentioned may be considered n prob lem already solved. They do not exist in tho United States and the burenu is on the nlcrt to keep them out. The bureau has also tnken energetic steps to check attempts nt shipping dlsensed stock Interstate nnd has perfected Its regulations especially with regnrd t bovine tuberculosis. Coupled with those efforts and to acquaint stockmen with the construc tive side of the work, the department has pointed out nt frequent Intervals the purpose of the regulations. As it result closer co-operntlon Is developing between the public and tho bureau's inspectors nnd veterinarians n condi tion helpful to the effectiveness of field work. i GATE OPENER IS CONVENIENT Saves Time and Energy in Opening and Closing and Keeps Cattle Out of Grain Fields.

This device will save a great deal of energy In opening or clos ing a tight gate, says a Minnesota writ er In The Farmer, and will also tend to keep n loose gnte tight and there will be no cattle breaking down the gntes and getting Into the grain. CALVES FAVOR WHOLE GRAINS Result Given of Recent Experiment Conducted by Dairy Experts at Iowa College. A recent experiment conducted by the dulry husbandry department of Iowa state college shows that calves prefer whole rather than ground grains when fed on free choice. Three calves between one and two months of age were fed for two pe riods of 30 days each. During the first period practically no corn was consumed, but in tho second period 10S pounds of whole corn nnd only three-tenths pound of cracked were cleaned up. Although 58 nnd 08 pounds of whole oats were eaten In two periods, never more than one-half pound of the grouud onts was con sumed. DEEP PLOWING IS ESSENTIAL Food and Moisture for Roots Not Ob tained Where Surface of Soil Is Merely Scratched. Scratching the surface of the soil will not sulllce to give plants depth for plant food and moisture. Itemej. her the parable of the sower and th effect of the sun on the plants from the seed sown on hard, stony groutnl with little depth. Tour own expert enco Is a fair guide If you ohserv closely. Surely you have noticed that soli must have depth nnd ample prep aration before a satisfactory yield can be expected. RATION FOR LITTLE CALVES Mixture of Oats, Corn and Ollmeal Is Excellent Too Much Water Can not Be Supplied. An excellent grain rntlon for llttlo calves Is three parts of oats, ono part of corn ami one part of ollmeal. Keep the grain fresh. Do not spill milk In It and have a sour manger. Let the calves have free access to fresh nnd clean water, and nlso to salt. The common Idea that calves will drink too much wnter Is a mistake. During the llrst four months llttlo calves should not eat too much grain. mm PULLETS MAKE BEST LAYERS It Seldom Pays to Keep Hens for Eggs After They Are 22 Years Old Young Fowls Favored. There nre people who have the right variety of fowls, who house nnd feed them properly, and yet who can not obtain eggs early in tho winter because their fowls are too old. It seldom pays to keep hens for laying nf tor they are two and pne-half years old; not that they will not give a profit, but that younger fowls will give n greater prollt, suys the United States department of agriculture. A great many poultrymcn who make a specialty of winter egg production keep nothing but pullets, disposing of the one-yenr-old hens before It is timo to put them In the winter qunrters. Flock of White Leghorn Pullets. The champion of the girls' poultry clubs of Mississippi keeps nothing but pullets. Early hatched pullets, If properly grown, ought to begin laying In Oc tober or early November and contlnuo to lay through tho winter. Yearling hens seldom begin laying much before January 1 nnd older hens not until later. It Is the November nnd Decem ber eggs that bring the high prices Tho laying breeds should begin lny ing when about from five to six months old, general-purpose breeds nt six to seven months, nnd the meat breeds nt eight to nine months. VARIETY OF FOOD FOR HENS Fowls Easily Obtain Different Things Necessary to Make Eggs and Maintain Body. Constantly feeding one or two grains bnly compels the fowls to eat more thnn they ought to and mnke their di gestive systems work too hard trying to get nil the different 'food elements In Hufllolent qunntlty out of this mate rial. Hy feeding a variety of food the fowls are not obliged to consume so great an amount nnd they enn more enslly obtain the 'different things re quired to maintain the body and make SIMPLE REMEDY FOR WORMS Give Twenty Drops of Turpentine in Milk or Water and Mix in Mash for Morning Feed. For worms in poultry give 20 dropp of turpentine for each 12 adult chick ens; less for smaller chicks. Put that amount in one quart of milk or wnter; mix In mash in morning. No other feed; also put one tea.spoonful of cop perns In each gallon of drinking water. POULTRY KEPT AS SIDE LINE Hardly Any Activity of Modern Farm Ing Which Will Pay Better Than Flock of Hens. Properly developed and fostered, poultrylng Is one of tho most profit able side lines In which most fanners can become Interested nnd, at present there Is hardly tiny activity of modern farming which will pay better than the maintenance nnd production of good poultry. Spado up tho yard frequently. Get rid of all surplus cockerels. Feed tablo scraps and kitchen waste, Keep tho henB confined to yeur awn land. Fowls Btand cold better than damp ness. Ilntchlng eggs should bo (selected only from healthy, hearty, vigorous parent stock. Yes, sir, tho poultry business of America Is more important than wo realize. Two quarts of scratch feed twice a day In the litter makes a fair allow ance for 25 hens, If they have plenty of mash nnd vegetables besides.
