THE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE Poem By3 Uncle JonSi LIFE T8. DEATH While I conccdo the dreadnought's sphoar, it ain't of drcadnaughts I vrould sing ... I sposo wo build ono every year, or, start va new one every spring . , . Now, I havo mostly boon opposed to all machines fer killln' men, till one moro question has arose: Wo build a college, every when? I lovo to think woVo got tho power to face the world an shake our list ... To know, that when tho war clouds lower, we've got tho guns they can't reals! . . . And still, I'm bound to h.nto, tho things thoy moke fer killln' men and through my ear this question rlngBt We build a Bchool-house every when? Old Cato viowod tho Holy Writ, beside the keen an' deadly knife the ono, with fires of heaven lit, tho other shaped fer ending Hfo . . . And I havo learnt to lovo tho means that lifts me to a higher piano, and so, Ive learnt to hate machines that only servo by giving pain . . . Instead of schemes to murder fast, it seems to bo tho nobler deed, while stretch of years Is whlzzln' past to teach our boys iand gals to read ... I'd swap the dreadnaught fer tho school, an' trade tho saber fer the pen, heliovln' in tho gracious rule of Peace on Darth, Good Will to Men I SPECIALLY WRITTEN iL Ml READERS depth and in Uilck sheets your chances for n well aro good. Tho pump and the engine must bo of tho proper design and must be run at tho proper speed. Tho Agricultural Collogcfs Circular No. 2 gives much helpful information on this subject. s INFOBMATTON ABOUT 'AGRICUL TURAL SUBJECTS FROM RELIABLE SOURCES Can anyone explain why there are more scrub bulls than purebreds at tho head of dairy herds? It can not' be tho "cost" t(hat Is keeping the, dairy farmer from buying purebred bulls, for well bred bulls can be pur chased at very nominal sums. The that tho man who owns a scrub bull get rid of him any buy a good bull. There never was a better op portunity for tho farmer who desires to improve his herd. High class bulls can be purchased at a very moderate price. There can be no pride of ownership in owning u ecrub; no dcslro for improvement; and no pleasure in looking forward to tho development of his progenv for they offer no hope for improve ment and little reward for the effort in caring for them. It pays to use a good purebred bull. Aro you reatlng your seed oats foo smut this year? Do you know the best way to do It? Do you know that tho time spent In this is worth more in dollars and cents than most every thing else you do on the farm? Think of it; you can treat enough in two hours to plant 40 to GO acres. An in- creaso of one bushel to the ncre means 60 bushels on 600 acres. Tills at' 35 cents a bushel is $21.00. In other words your tlmo would bo worth $10.50 per hour if you got only a bushel lncreaso per acre. It is seldom that seed treatment does not increase tho yield from three to five bushels and many times twice that much.. A five-bushel increase vould make your time spent in se -d treatment worth $52.G0 per hour. Think it over. Hero is tho treatment recommended by the Agricultural Colloge. As tho seed Is being shovel ed into tho wagon to be taken to the fie.'d to seed, havo tho boy of tho good wife sprinkle it with a solution made of one pint of formaldehyde to ten gallons of water. Use this on about 40 bushels. Can anything bo easier? Try it. Be sure to get your formal dehyde In sealed bottles. Otherwise it may bo weak and of no value. There Is keen interest in irriga tion through central and western Ne braska this year. Old ditches which have been little used for the pas', ten years are being cleaned out and put inti. service acr.in t'ai3 spring. Many farmors are planning to install pumping outfits fqr irrigating small tracts from wells along the valley of tho Platte and tributary slrc-jims. Pumping for irrigation is a fairly expensive process but often a profi table one if tho pumping unit is prop erly chosen, says the Agricultural College. Before spending a lot of monoy for expensive equipment ono should' be sure about the water sup ply. Even though other irrigation wells in the neighborhood are yield ing a good supply It is no 'sign thai your well will be good- Test wells should be dug to reveal the character of the sub-soil. If coarse gravel and sand is encountered at a shallow mends that all seed potatoes be treated before they aro cut for plant ing. This Ib for tho purpose of con trolling several diseases, most espe cially scab and another disease com monly called rhizactonla. This latter disease does considerable damage to the plants frequently killing them, thoreby Injuring the stand of tho field. The method rocammended is to dissolve four ounces of corrosive sublimate in ono gallon of hot water. Then odd this solution to twenty nine gallons of wator to make a to tal of thirty gallons. At all times use non-metal vessels for this solu tion ns it docs damage to metal and in turn the solution is weakened. Tho potatoes should be soaked in this so lution before they aro cut for plant ing for from ono to ono and one-half hours tho first time the solution Id used. Tho solution can bo used for four lots of potatoes. However, the length of tlmo for treating should be Increased ten minutes after each lot haa been treated. After four lots of potatoes have been , treated in ono batch of solution it should bo dis carded. This solution Bhould be handled carefully at all times ns it is a deadly internal poison. Exter nally there Is no danger from it in so far as the handling of tho pota toes in tho solution is concerned. :o: NEW BAND Last Monday evening there was a mooting of those who aro intorosted in putting a band across for Arnold, and there was about twenty-five pres ent. This number included several from tho surrounding community who aro much interested in band music. Johnnie Norman of Gothenburg was present In tho rolo of instructor to see what tho chances were of organ izing. There aro plenty to make a band of twenty-five pieces, and the boys have been doing a little scout ing UiIb week to see if they could raise the necessary funds to put it over. They need a guarantee of one hundred dollars a month to make a go of It. This pays for musical in structlon on band instruments. Ar nold Sentinel. Is your wife lonesome while you are away?
