Established Grades a Fraud

Recent Investigations carried on at
the Agricultural College of Ontario
as to the bread making qualities of
the various grades of wheat show
what a swindle the established grades
and prices are on the farmer. The
test showed that 100 pounds of flour
from No. 3 wheat actually made more
and better bread than a like number
of pounds from No. l hard. It is well
known, as the report states, that 'the
value of flour for bread-making pur-
poses depends largely upon the amount
of proteids it contains" and in this
respect the test showed that No. 4
was the most valuable. The fact is.
one grade, pound for pound, is as val
liable to the miller as the other, as
they mix them in the milling process
in order to obtain the best flour. Our
Canadian neighbors are trying to have
grades abolished and sell only ~,
sample.

Rural Population Decreases

1t is creating some surprise to find
that the returns OF population of
townships in this county show so
slight, if any. increase during the last
five years In fact, Riverside, Bath,
Rondell and Liberty show a decrease.
The exact figures for the rural popu-
lation of the entire county are not
just at hand now, but will be given
later. The farm population of Grant
county has increased slightly on the
whole, but fully half the townships
show a decrease. Some attribute the
decline to the land boom, high prices
for land leading many farmers with
large families to sell out and move
away. The hired man, since he de-
mands $50 per month, has been large.

tion grows at the expense of farm pop

"A BELTED A
This Was the Original Dress OF inc
Scottish Highlander.

This was tne 'N
scottish Highlander.
Tho original dress of the highlander
was the beltcd plaid. This was u
niece of tartan cloth, two yards broad
and four long, which was drawn
around the waist in nicely adjusted
folds and tightly buckled with a belt
The lower part came down to he
knees in much the same manner rs
the modern kilt, while the upper part
was drawn up and adjusted to the lett
shoulder. so that the right arm might
be perfectly free. This upper part was
the plaid, which was used as a covering
for the shoulders and body IN wet
weather. and when the use Of both
arms was required 1t was fastened
across the breast with a brooch, often
curiously enriched. a brooch was also
used to fastcn the plaid on the left
shoulder. To attire himself In the belt
Ell plaid required on the part Of the
highlander no small amount of dcXterl-
ty. The usual way was to lay 1t on
the floor and after carefully arranging
the folds to lie down upon 1t and then
buckle 1t on. The lower end was fas-
tened at the right hip. The utility Of
such a dress In the highlands IS OBJ
vious, for the plaid rendered the man
Indifferent to storms and prepared to
pass a night in the open air In the
most Indictment weather, while the loose
undergarment enabled him to wade
rivers or ascend mountains with equal
ease. 1t was thus peculiarly adapted
to the warrior, the hunter and the

FARM NEWS and FARM LOBE
Affords Both Pasture and Grain
BY GEO. B. DAILY

VIM. Relfeld has an eighty of his
Warner farm sown to winter rye. 1t
was seeded early enough last fall to
enable a good growth to be made be-
fore winter set in. and, during the
winter, afforded a very large amount
of pasture to the stock on the farm.
Now it is reported to be a most
beautiful sight as it draws near to
making good the promise of a splen-
did crop. Mr.. Rehfeld is believer
in rye as one of our most profitable
crops. He says it should be sown
early. though. AS a rule he says it
sells only about twenty cents under
wheat and is a very much surer crop.

The Fcrney-Groton 'Phone Line

A farmers telephone is knocking at
the city's gate for admission. On
Monday evening last N. 0. P. Syno-
ground, president of the %Ferney-Gro-
ton Telephone Company, in behalf of
his company, made application for the
privilege TO erect poles and string
wires in the streets and alleys of
Aberdeen. This farmers line already
has established an exchange and is
doing business in the city of Groton.
Those farmers around Ferney have
experienced the strength of intelligent
cooperation, having organized and
operated for several years an elevator
which; has been extraordinarily sue
cessful. With the same men back of
this enterprise. working with a few
hustlers from Groton, there is little
danger of this new company failing.

Strawberries in this County

About a week ago the writer was
handed "A sample collection of straw
berries raised by August Lier on his
farm just west of Putney. No finer,
larger or more luscious berries have
seen offered in the Aberdeen market
this year. Mr.. Lier was unable to
give the name of the variety, having
secured the plants from a neighbor
who received them from Michigan.
The bed. about a rod wide and six
rods long, has just come into bearing,
but every morning for weeks its for
tunate possessor has picked severla
quarts of magnificent ripe berries.
Every farmer should have such a
berry bed.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering. as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney dis
ease, another from nervous exhaustion or
ptoStration, another with pain here and
there, and In this way they all present
alike to themselves and their ~caSy-gOing
and indifferent, or Ovcr-busy doctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which he.
assuming them TO be such, prescribes his
pills and pOtiOns. In reality they are all
only symptoms caused by some womb dis
ease. The physician. ignorant Of the
cduSG of suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The Suf-
fering patient gets no better, but prob
ably worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like DR.. Pierce'S Fa-
yorite Prescription, directed to the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby %dispelling all those distressing
symptoms. and instituting comfort in
stead Of prolonged misery. 1t has been
well said that "a disease known is half
cured" In cases almost innumerable,
after all other medicines had failed to
help and doctors had said there vas no
cure possible, the use of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
YOrite Prescription, supplemented when
necessary by medical advice and counsel
of DR.. Pierce, has resulted in a perfect
and permanent cure. The genuineness OF
these cures is attested not only by the
entire disappearance OF pain, but by a
gain Of flesh, a clear complexion and a
cheerful disposition.
A SCIENTIFIC MEDIcNE.-Dr. Pierce's
FavOrite Prescription is a scientific med
icine, carefully devised by an experienced
and skillful physician, and adapted to
WOman's delicate organism. 1t is purely
vegetable In its composition and per-
fectly harmless In its effects In dnD
condition Of the system. 1t contains no
alcohol, opium, dlgitalis or other injuri-
Gus ingredient.
