TnE Red Willow County Farmers In
stitute for the winter will bo held at
McCook Nobr February 22 It is time
that the people began preparation for
making this meeting a great success
Interest and attendance will be amply
repaid by the value to be gained The
peoplo should make of the institute a
large social gathering of agricultural
people for the discussion of subjects that
are of valne to them and for the pro
motion of all their interest- It should
become a permanent feature of the edu
cational side of the community
The value of rhe imtins will depend
on the interest of the people of this com
munity Thy can make of it what they
will a success or a failure The state
management may perform its part well
and the speakers may give valuable ad
dresses but unless the people attend the
meetings all the work will have been
done in vain You are paying taxes to
support this work You should come to
tho meetings and get the value of your
money buck The time of such m6n as
come here to address tho people is valu
able There must be a full house at
every meeting if the community is to
receive the value that it should from the
meeting
The progressive farmers will attend
the institute No time need bo spent in
telling them to come out But the
farmers who do not usually leave the
farm should be stirred up Tho women
and young people should be brought out
Every institute has something of value
for them as well as for the experienced
farmer
The subjects that will be discussed are
of practical interest to every farmer
Tho men who will speak are practical
and successful farmers who are recog
nized as leaders in their lines of work
Everybody should make plans for at
tending every session of the institute
Doctors Could Not Help Her

the very first doso gave me relief and I
am cured I cannot say too much for
Foleys Kidney Cure It makes the
diseased kidneys sound so they will elim
inate the poisons from the blood Un

grains require far differ

come crops need diffcr

He knows that a great
deal depends upon right
planting at the right

must be kept enriched
No use of complaining

Children especially are fond of dainties
and the housekeeper must look carefully
to their food
As good cake can be made only with
good eggs so also a cake that is health
ful as well as dainty must be raised with
a pure and perfect baking powder
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
in the preparation of the highest quality
of food It imparts that peculiar light
ness sweetness and flavor noticed in the
finest cake biscuit doughnuts crusts etc
and what is more important renders the
food wholesome and agreeable to young
and old

FOR WOMEN
WHO CANNOT BE CURED
Backed up by over a third of a century
of reuarkable and uniform cures a
lecord such as no other reined v for the
diseases and weaknesses peculiar to
women ever attained the proprietors of
lr Pierces Favorite Prescription now
feel fully warranted in offering to pay
500 in legal money of the United
biatcs for any case of Leucorrhea Fe
maie Weakness Prolapsus or Falling
of Womb which they cannot cure All
they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of
their means of cure

An experience which mauv women have was
related by Miss Agues Stebbings of 231 East
30th Street New York City as follows I
hal very poor health for a year until life
looked dark and dreary to me Had head
aches backache also pain my sleep was
broken and fitful I longed for health Tried
several medicines but none were of any last
ing oeiient until 1 took Doctor Pierces I
vorue rrescnpnon I soon realized that I
had found the right remedy It helped nature
to throw off the poisons that saturated the
system removed all pains and strengthened
the digestive organs and brought the roses of
health back to my cheeks This medicine if
taken occasionally keeps the svstem in perfect
condition helping it to throw off the disease
and consequences of exposure to dampness I
am pleased to give it my endorsement
Favorite Prescription makes weak
women strong sick women well Ac
cept no substitute for the medicine
which works wonders for weak women

SiIITorm FJnhluer Linen
A tourist friend who has recently re
turned from a trip through the south
of Europe was telling the other day
of the large proportions assumed by
the production of silkworm gut for
fishing lines In Spain since the decline
of silk culture there The grub is fed
on mulberry leaves as usual In silk
culture but before it begins So spin
that is In May and June it Is killed
by immersion in vinegar The sub
stance which would have formed the
cocoon is then drawn out from its body
in the form of a thick silken thread
which is treated with chemicals and
afterward dried These threads are
made up in bundles of a hundred each
and the Spanish peasants travel with
them along the shores of the Mediter
ranean as far as France The best
quality of the gut as every fisherman
knows or ought for his own protection
when shopping to know Is round The
flat shaped article is always inferior
and is due not as often supposed to
careless drawing of it but to un
heal thiness in the worm which fur
nished it Forest and Stream
South Tolc Seals
Seals according to the crow of the
antarctic exploring ship Discovery are
abundant near the south pole They
are very tame and can be clubbed by
any one without showing more fight
than opening their jaws and making a
harsh noise They are possessed of
extraordinary vitality and are not easy
to kill Antarctic seals are not pro
vided with marketable fur The skins
of the majority of seals in the antarc
tic regions show an extraordinary
number of cicatrices some old and
some recent Avhich for some time have
been a puzzle to zoologists It is a
question whether they are the result
of warfare among the bull seals or are
caused by attacks of some monster not
yet known to science Some light has
been shed on this subject by the dis
covery of remains of an ordinary seal
In the stomach of a sea leopard which
Is provided Avith a very fierce set of
teeth quite in keeping with the pos
sible habit of feeding on other seal3
Scolding
Scolding is mostly a habit It Is
often the result of nervousness and an
irritable condition of both mind and
body A person is tried or annoyed at
some trivial cause and forthwith com
mences finding fault with everything
and everybody within reach Scolding
Is a habit very easily formed It is as
tonishing how soon one becomes ad
dicted to it and confirmed in it It is
an unreasoning and unreasonable habit
Persons who once get into the way of
scolding always find something to
scold about If there is nothing else
they begin scolding at the mere ab
sence of anything to scold at It is an
extremely disagreeable habit It is
contagious Once introduced into a
family it is pretty certain in a short
time to aficct all the members Ex

Japanese BmltiliiKts
Japanese Buddhists have a word
nazoraeru which is translated by
the dictionaries as to imitate hut it
has the esoteric meaning of to sub
stitute in imagination one object or
action for another so as to bring about
some magical or miraculous result An
example of this is laying a pebble be
fore the image of Buddha to show that
you Avould like to build a temple in
his honor if you were rich enough
and making a bookcase revolve which
contains tho 0771 volumes of the Bud
dhist canon and earnestly wishing that
you had time to read them by which
you acquire the same merit in the
C3es of heaven as if you did read them
Tho bookcase is fitted with a kind of
capstan for the purpose
Pes Tmilvariis
The pegging or marking of drinking
cups was introduced by St Dunstau to
check the intemperate habits of tho
times by preventing one man from
taking a larger draft than his com
panions But the device proved the
means of increasing the evil it was
intended to remedy for refining upon
St Dunstans plan the most abste
mious were required to drink precisely
to a peg or pin whether they could
soberly take such a quantity of liquor
or not
