Buying Bed Room Furniture
TO BEST ADVANTAGE
F1eams Purchasing of Us. 49,.

The fact that We are manufac-
trrers and conhne ourselves exclti-
sively to Bed Room Requisites is of
two-fold advantage to you.
The primary advantage is, OF
course, that of price Being manu-
facturers we do not have to ask high
prices to cover middlemen's profits.
Since this is true, we are enabled to
sell better class of goods for the
SAME MONEY and the same class
of goods FOR LESS MONEY than
others who are general dealers.
The second advantage is that of
choice. Dealing in Bed Room Requi-
sites only, we show far greater
stock of goods in this one line and
a much wider variety than are shown
elsewhere in this city.
1--WE will esteem it a pleasure to
show you through our spacious
salesrooms and have you compare
prices, whether you desire to pur-
chase or not.

Grading md Packing uonev

Every beekeeper should strive to
make a reputation as an honorable
shipper, and after it has once been
made he will not have much trouble
in finding a market for his honey.
1t may be needless to say that this
will require eternal vigilance in grad
ing and packing. Dark honey must
not be packed with light, and partly
filed sections must not find their
way into the middle of a case, but
these should be set aside and the
honey extracted from them. Grade
your honey uniformly and try to
have the middle of the case as good
as the facing. Then provide yourself
with a rubber stamp with your name
and address upon it, and stamp all
your goods. This will advertise your
business, and buyers will gain con-
fdence in you and will deal with you
in preference to some one else who
does not stand behind his goods; for,
# you really have a good article, con-
;umers will continue to ask for your
loney.-Farm Journal.

SOME CLOVER FACTS.
There Are Several Varieties Which
Give Fair Yields and Are Nalu-
nbIa fr- Mnny Ways.

Clovers are among our most valuable
forage plants. but they will not with
stand the extremes of drought and
heat that prevail over large sections OF
the west every year and in other Sec
tons of the same region some years,
Being soil renovators they can be
grown in rotation with other crops to
advantage. On account of the large
amount OF protein they contain they
have high feeding value. There are
several varieties of cloyers grown in
this country, among which are the fol-
lowing:
Red clover (Trifolium pratense). -
This is the most common variety, and
is grown successfully in the north
wherever the supply of moisture is
sufficient. In dry sections it becomes
uncertain. Some call it perennial,
but it is scarcely more than "A biennial,
its perennial character being often as
sumed by new plants springing up
from seeds dropped by the plants each
year. 1t makes good hay, but is UNI
suited for permanent pasture. When
it is desired to use it for pasture, as
a single plant, it is necessary to ro-
tate, keeping the clover pasture in one
place for not more than two years.
Mammoth clover (trifolium medium)
resembles red clover, but has no spots
on the leaves 1t is adapted to more
moist land than is red clover, and un-
der favorable conditions will give
larger yield.
Alsike clover is perennial clover
whose appearance suggests hybrid
between red and white clover, but il
is not hybrid. 1t will thrive on soil
too wet for red clover, but on ordinary
soil is probably not to be SO highly
recommended. A writer says that it
should be sown with grasses to get the
best results.
White clover (trifolium repens) is n
low-growing perennial, spreading by
creeping stems. The flowers are white,
the older ones more or less purplish
tinged. IL is of little value for hay
owing to its small growth, but is very
useful for identifying lawns, and has
some value as pasture plant. Some
farmers sow white clover seed with
bluegrass and consider 1t an assist
ant 10 the bluegrass pasture. 1t stands
drought fairly well, and will grow on
soil too poor to give good yields of !
some other pasture plants. In ireland |
t is called the shamrock.
Crimson clover (trifolium incarna-
ium) is an erect annual foot or two |
nigh. II bears scarlet flowers in OBJ
ong heads. 1t was highly spoken OF
some years ago as a soil renovator, but
If recent years has been quite gener-
lily ignored in the north. In the south
I is proving valuable in some local
ties.-Farmers' Review.

Water separ ators.


We are receiving letters from our
Nebraska readers asking about the
tin can cream "separators," IN which
water is used with, the milk. We ex-
posed these so thoroughly last year
that we hardly we feel justified in CIV
ing much space to them now. The
principle that when cold water is added
to warm milk the separation of the
cream is hastened is very old and
well known and the manufacture
ers of these 'tin can separators"
have simply revived this and are
trying to make people believe that
1t is new discovery If our readers
wish to raise their cream by dlluting
1t with cold water In this way they
do not need to buy one of these So
called separators. All they need to do
is to get common shot gun milk cans,
place their milk in them, pour In the
water and let it Separate" The re-
suits will be just as good as with the
tin can separator"
Our readers will understand that we
have no interest in this matter in any
way except to protect them. In fact
it would have been money in oul
pockets to have kept quiet and &C
cepted the five hundred to one thous
and dollars worth of advertising Of
fered to US by manufacturers of these
fake separators. We have always re
fused to allow them access to our sd
vertising columns. for the ressoLl

In front of the COWS when they are
finishing their evening meal, and see-
ing how clean they lick out the man
gers, not leaving as much as could be
put on the end of a penknlfe, would
conclude that the cows were not be-
ing literally fed; in fact, that they
were half starved. And as con-
elusive evidence that such were
really the case, he would point at
the clearly defined ribs, sharp hips and
backbone, thin thighs and necks, and
probably remark that he would not
have such scrawny animal in his barn.
And yet, if an additional pound of grain
were added to their ration probably
half the COWS would go off their feed
before the close of the week.

feed twice day and challenge anyone
to find in the managers of the 40
cows a cupful of food, grain or rough

meal. Once in awhile, one not feeling
just right will leave little, but this
is removed at once, and generally by
the next feeding time she will need
the usual amount. No food should be
left in the managers from one feeding
period to another. Cows should be
kept away from food between meals.

s,los And Ensilaee.

Twenty years experience in the use
of the silo has brought out some facts
about which all are agreed.
First. That larger amount of
healthful cattle food can be preserved
In the silo in better condition, at less
expense oflabor and land, than by any
other method known.
Second. That silage comes nearer be-
ing a perfect substitute for the sue
calent food of the pasture than any
other food than can be had in the win
ter.
Third. Thirty pounds day is enough
sitage for an average sized Jersey COVE.
Larger cattle will eat more.
Fourth A cubic foot of silage from
the middle of q medium-sized silo will
average about 45 pounds.
Fifth. For 1872 days, or half year, an
average Jersey COW will require about
six tons of silage, allowing for unavoid-
able waste.
Sixth. The circular silo, made of good
hard wood slaves, is cheapest and best.
Seventh. Fifteen feet in diameter and
30 feet good depth. Such silo will
hold about 200 tons of silage, cut in
half-inch lengths.-National Stockman

A Health Producer Which Is Avail
able Eyeryyhere

able everywhere.
There Is no doubt that we do not
drink enough. Our bodies consist
largely Of water, and the average man
needs to drink from four to six pints
of water daily in order to maintain
health. This is the amount Of water
eliminated from the body by means Of
the kidneys, the skin and lungs. 1t is
evident that a fresh supply is constant
~ needed to supply this lost aid in the
process Of digestion and carry away
waste matter.
If the amount Of water imbiDed is
not sufficient for all this, the health
must suffer. Air, water and food are
the essentials of life in the order given.
A person can fast a long time-ex-
periments have proved this-but that
same person could not get along with
out water for that length Of time.
As usual thing women are the ones
who suffer the most from an INSULT
cheney Of water. Mothers should see
to 1t that their children have plenty Of
water to drink.
There is diversity Of opinion re-
garding drinking at meals. Some as
sert that the practice is injurious, as it
dtlutes the gastric Juice. Others again
claim that glassful of pure drinking
water taken during the pyaeesa o. mas
however, all authorities agree namely,
that ice water is Injurious.
Generally speaking, the theory advo-
Gated by the best physicians nowadays
is to drink often and much. It cleanses
the system, increases circulation and
helps to make a clear complexion.
Therefore, ye men and women, the lat
ter especially, drink. Take clear, pure,
sterilized water and be thankful so
simple remedy of nature is near at
hand.-Table Talk.
