Getting Ahead 'l he problem ol getting ahead in this lile is a matter of shaving and saving. ^on must shave your expenditures until they are less than vour income, then save the differ ence by putting it into the bank. Or in other words, put a part of your income into the bank regularly and live on the remainder. ^ ou do not have to sacrifice the comforts of living in order to save a little out of your income. It’s the idea ol saving a little and saving it with system. A bank account helps you to save regualarly. Open an account with The Farmers’ State ^ank PRESTON, NEBRASKA From the West An Interesting Communication from An Ex>Resident of Falls City. Solomon, Kans,, Dec. d, HIGH. ! Editor Tribune, Falls City, Nebr. ; Having recently visited in eastern I Colorado, the plains open for i homestead, I f*>el it my duty to | send yon for publication facts con cerning this land. Conditions in Cheyenne, Kit Carson and all I counties south anJ west of Denver lire very much the same. The ! same may besaid of tie lands of western Kansas, being of high al titude and in the arid district, a part of Cheyenne county is as high ns 4700 feet. The plains ar>‘ cov ered with buffalo grass; I say cov ered, but is only sparingly covered as it grows rather in clumps ami is very nutritons for cattle, sheep, etc. Hundreds of acres of this land s open for homestead.though this fact is kept from many who go there until they pay someone! for locating them and often pay an exhorbitant price for a relinquish ment when entirely unnecessary. There are many vacant houses on claims that one can get the right to occupy until they cun find a de sirable location or prove to their satisfaction whether they want to locate there or not. This land is really beautiful, one can see miles and miles of rolling prairie, reliev ed here and there by a sod house, frame house or dugont and in places even these are scarce. Many have taken el inis, a beautiful piece of land and put their all in to buildings expecting to make a living from crops, in this they fail, and are compelled to leave at a great sacrifice. Potatoes some years are a fairly i good crop, other vegetables do Very poor being a failure most every year. Rains are scarce and when it does rain dries so quickiy and does little good. Corn can not be grown at all as the nights are cold and the season short. One i can see corn growing and a fairly I good ear but on investigation find a cob with only a few scattered grains. The stalk only grows to about three or four feet. The j same can be said of Kaffir and broom corn. The latter makes no heads and can only be used for feed for stock. Alfalfa has bet n tried but with poor results. Cane grows thick on the ground but to a height of only about 2 or 3 feet. When the land is broken unless kept down it is covered with a weed known as the Russian thistle. It is said hogs fatten on this weed, also cattle do well on it, this is only hearsay, however. I was over a large part of this land and did not even see a hog, I noticed in many places small stacks of this weed, one can see acres of it grow ing on the broken lands and so completely does it cover the ground that it looks as though it was sown ! there. ()ne with necessary capital j can greatly increase it by going j there and investing in slock, the buffalo grass is fattening being es pecially so after the first frost as it then grows juicy and tender and it usually frosts by the middle of September. Kallir corn,cane, etc, can be used through winter when the ground is covered with snow, although 1 was told it is seldom necessary to feed, as the snow that falls comes in the form of a bliz zard and hence it drifts leaving large parts of the grass uncovered and 1 believe any one with lfi or 20 good cows could do well selling cream, butter and cheese, as dairy products sell at a good price. The marketing would be no little task as the best claims open lie from 12 to 30 miles from the towns. The nearer the towns the more fencing there is so it is not very convenient for cattle grazing. Then one should add to this many dairy cows, a goodly number of range cattle, and one thing very neces sary is that good wind breaks be provided for all stock as many per ish in winter by not having shel ter. There are pools of water scattered over the prairies known as coolies. These coolies are the old butl'alo wallows filled by snows him] rains,but generally by springs1 for there are springs of tine water to be found in most of the canyons. Most of the water used by the set tiers is hauled in barrels from these springs (>ccasiona!ly good water can be found at a reasonable depth but more often it cannot and when you do find it much of it is alkali. A man was seen hauling water across the prairie lie said lie had hauled it six miles, when asked why he did not dig a well he re plied it was just as far one way as the other. Tempting baits me held out to homeseekers by land agents in some of these parts, in the form of left ers, circulars, etc, and even ! have on exhibition corn,wheat and other grains purporting to be the products of that land, which is false, as it is good only for grazing purposes and a small acreage of roughness as is mentioned above and may lose all they possess in trying to make it. A pitiful case that came under my observation was that of a family of 7, a chil dren none scarcely more than babies who were all sick but a glimpse at the little pinched faces told the story of lack of proper food and nourishment. This man had been a successful Missouri farmer, had come there only a few years before, paid $700 for a re linquishment that was provided with a few cheap buildings. He tried farming and gardening meet ing with failure and the family brought to waut as food products there are very expensive. Through the kindness of a friend they have recently been enabled to leave there. Other cases similar to this I could mention if it were necessary. The froutier life is not a very de sirable place for growing children, as schools and churches are few and far apart. I wots told it only needed 0 children of school age in the district to insure the building of a school house. These lines are written for the benefit of many who asked me to write them concerning this land, and for any others who may have contemplated pioneering for the purpose or making a home. I wish to emphasize, do not go un less you have plenty of means and then go in for stock and stock alone. Mrs. Ella Nicholson. More people are taking Foley's Kid ney Remedy every year.

If you suffer pain from any cause, Dr. Miles’ Anti Pain Pills will relieve it —and leave no bad after effects. That’s the impor tant thing. Neither do they create a habit. More often the attacks become : less frequent, or disappear altogether. Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills have no other effect except to re lieve pain and quiet nerv ous irritation. “We are never without Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Fills. My husband and son, aged 15 were always subject to sick headache until we began using these Pills, and they have broken them up entirely. Don't think they have had to use them for six months. I recommend them to every one. A few weeks ago I heard an old lady friend was sick. 1 went to see her. She was down with DaGrippe, and nearly crazy with awful backache. I gave her one of the Anti-Pain Pills und left another for her to take In a short time. They helped her right away, and she says she will never be without them again. Bast winter my husband was taken with pluerisy on both sides, and I know he would have died if it hadn't been for the Pills. In less than half an hour he was sweating, and went to bed and slept.” MRS. G. H. WEBB, Austlnburg, Ohio.

HAYS CHALLENGE! A Timely Notice From the Council Bluffs Remedy Co.

We will go into any herd, and cut out 20 head of the culls, and will then give our competitor the privilege of selecting 10 best out of the lot, we will take the remaining 10 head and guarantee to produce as much fat with 8 bushels of corn as you or he can with 10 bushels,or lose S200 in ten weeks test. Gentlemen this means business. If you have what you claim, the same goods only under a different brand, come out and proye it to the farmer. STOCK RAISERS The above statement ought to prove the value of our goods. When we can produce as much fat with 8 bushels of corn as you can with ten, we immediately become a benefactor to you, by increasing the earning power of the corn. Besides that we protect you against the terrible death loss. We have an honest medicine of genuine merit, it cures when cure is possible. While you are growing hogs you have but one object in view that of making money, and when we stand ready to go into a ten weeks test, backed up with a guarantee of Two Hundred Dollars, deposited in any bank, that our Remedy will do as claimed, it certainly proves that we have got value in our goods, and you cannot afford to be without them, C.
