TORPID LIVER IN COWS.

III II were possible to make every reader
of this department realize the necessity
for variety in the ration as well as for
feeding the proper kinds of concentrates
foods, 1t would pay to devote the entire
department for one issue to the subject.
Thousands upon thousands of COWS are
worrying the lives out of their owners
and making business for dealers i'm medi-
cines, more or less valuable. simply be-
cause they are suffering from Indigestion
which, usually, started in calfhood. There
is a tendency on the part of dairymen to
develop the COW as quickly as possible and
in their efforts they abuse the tender stom-
ach of the growing calf usually by feed
ing her during the first winter too large
quantities of bulky food. with the idea in
mind that by this means they increase the
capacity of the stomach. A cow suffering
from severe indigestion or torpid liver
(extreme constipation marks the latter)
should have considerable oil meal in her
rations with wheat middlings or bran also.
For medicine give the animal the follow
ing, but only after failing to improve her
condition by the use of the foods men,
toned. Make a mixture of four ounces
of powdered g%entian, two ounces of pow
dered charcoal and a pound of salt. Dose,
a tablespoonful twice a day in her feed.
1t is possible that the oil meal may not
be necessary in the ration when the early
pasture becomes good, but it will do no

grass with the Oil meal causes the bowels
to become loose, in which case cut off
the oil meal.
WHEN TO LIME THE SOIL.
So many inquiries are received asking
for concerning the litmus pa
per test for ascertaining soil acidity that
the directions are given in this department
again. Buy from the druggist a 10-cent
strip of blue litmus paper and cut it into
strips an inch wide and 3 inches long, for
convenience. Moisten with water the soil
to be tested and let it partially dry out,
then with a trowel or a spade make an
incision IN the soil sufficiently deep TO
take in the strip of blue litmns paper. BE
careful that the end held In the fingers is
not moistened. Insert the strip of paper
in the soil for about 2 inches. then press
the soil close about the paper and permit
1t to remain for an hour. Pull the paper
carefully so as not to tear it and rinse
the soil off of 1t in clear water. If the blue
paper has a decided red cast it may be
safely decided that the soil is acid and
that lime will be beneficial. This is a
simple but reliable test and there is no
excuse for any armer guessing that his
soil needs or does not need lime. How
much lime the soil needs will depend upon
several things, chiefly ones pocketbook,
but the best method of Inning is thai
which gives yearly applications in COM
paratively small quantities rather than
one heavy application and then none for
several wears.

KEEPING POOR STRAINS.

Many who start in the poultry business
become Iisheartcned because their f1ocks
do not turn out well. Apparently they
are gwen the proper care and food, but
the results are disappointing. 1t is a fact
well known to poultrymen, but kept rath-
err quiet among breeders of so-called fancy
stock, that much breeding is being lone
for the purpose of winning prizes on
markings at the poultry shows and not for
the utility standard of the fowls. To this
may be laid some of the failures of the
men who buy eggs from such fowls at
prices and have a lot of pullets that
are pretty enough to look at. perhaps.
but are by no means as good layers as
some of the old barn yard fowls, mixtures
of half a dozen breeds. When one finds
himself in this predicament there is but
one thing to do; get rid of the stock as
soon as possible and start anew. Hard
lines, of course, but why prolong the
agony and make a total failure at last.
In buying fowls or in buying eggs for
Matching do not set too much store on the
claims made for perfect feather markings.
but rather inquire closely into the egg
record. There is a point in this item worth
pondering long and deeply.

our free land system, as it was few
years ago, were immense. A farm
er in the Red River valley could take
pre-emption, timber claim and
homestead -480 acres, and suppose
there were five boys, who, few
years later could take claims in the
central part of the state to be prov
ed up on the communication plan, this
would give thesfamily 1880 acres Of
free land. The next move in our
case would be the faith
er and sons taking homes in Alberta,
in all 2,240 acres of free land
in one family. It is quite common
for men to prove up in North Dako-
ia and then go across the borders in
to King Edwards dominion, and by
becoming a'citizen get another quar-
ter section of land.
1t will seen by the above that
the cattle and timber men are not
the only land barons, with the differ
ence that the farmer attempts to get
only what he is entitled to by law.

ARE You GETTING THE
GREATEST VALUE In COFFEE
FOR YOUR MONEY?

You should always think when you buy
anything that the money is yours and you
have right to say what you will have for
it-you want value
Therefore when you buy coffee, whether
you pay 35 cents or 25 cents or Is cents, you
want the value of your money
There is one line of Boston cof1ees that
stands pre-eminently above other coffees
sold in the United States and in them you
get highest value.

WHERE ARE THEY ALL?
Census Returns Gives Some interesting
Nationality figures.

In his report on the fifth decennial
census of Minnesota, taken within
the past year, Supt. Hanson reports
that the taking of the census in Red
wood county cost only S430.33, which
was scattered among 20 enumerators.
Surrounding counties showed an ex-
pense proprotionate with the popu-
lation reported.
Mr.. Hanson further reports that
township returns in one district in
Redwood county and one in Stevens
county were corrected through the
assistance of parties who detected
discrepancy in the count, caused by
the enumerators having the returns
of one township mixed with those of
another. Redwood county is one of
the six of the group known as the
southwestern group which shows
gain in population, and her gain was
larger than any of the other five
-Pipestone, Lincoln, Lyon, Mobiles
and Rock. ! Il Redwood county also
shows the largest number of new
villages Incorporated since the last
census, they being ten in number,
this being larger than any other
county in the state, and consequently
the population of the townships in
which these villages have sprung up
has been reduced, the villages taking
both territory and people from the
townships. Martin county is second
on this list and EMower county is
third. Notwithstanding this our
rural growth is shown to be even
better than most counties in the
state.
Capt. Whitney of the department
has made some interesting compila-
tions for The GAZETTE of the foreign
parentage of the population of the
city of Redwood Falls and of the
county, and these figures are here
with given:

WHERE LAND is CHEAP.
Why People Move to the Central
Western States.

To THE EDITOR: One of the most
salient features of the great move
ment Of population to our central
and western states and the provinces
of Canada in the last few years is the
desire to get land for nothing. There
seems to be a land hunger beyond
the very natural motive to take it
up as business that is appeased on
ly by adding to that already attained.
The desire is not confined to farm
ers and those who have been raised
on the farm, but people of every
calling are to be found on the hunt
for a piece of Uncle Sans land.
Until the past few years it was tax
en- for granted that there was
enough left to give every man farm
but recently it has dawned upon the
public that this is not the Tease and
the rapidity with which the public
domain has been taken up in the
past two years is partly owing to
that fact.
AS the county grows in population
there is every year a pretty big
crop of young men looking for a
place to set up a home. They have
seen the farms of their fathers and
neighbors grow from value of SIS to
$40 and $50 per acre, largely thru
the accretion added by a dense pop
ulation and improvements that fol-
low increased transportation and
more intensive methods of farming.
These young men ask: why cannot
we repeat in a new state the success
the people around US have achieved,
and start out each to write his indi-
vidual chapter of "the Winnipeg of
the West"
They all want land but the seek
ers are divided into two classes. the
first and greater number wanting to
make homes and bring the land un-
der cultivation that it may yield
them support and become produc-
tive for the purposes of government
and commerce.
This class is the corner stone of the
settlement and civilization of the
new states and to their efforts is due
very largely the success of all new
countries.

LIBRARY NOTES.

With the exception of Thanks
giving thei library was open, as
usual, for circulating of books every
week day and for reading and refer
ence oniSundays.
1t is with great pleasure that |
reports marked increase in every
department of library work during
the past month, the total number of
volumes ISSUED being 1921, a daily
average of..44, of which 10 per cent.
was non-fiction. The largest circu-
lation on any lone day was 73, there
being, however, 5 days when 70 or
more books5were given out. 701
books of fiction and 137 of non
fiction were issued in the juvenile
department alone. There were SO
new registrations, which brings our
borrowers list up to 259. Sixty
reference workers enjoyed privileges
of the reference room andthe readers
numbered 548, of whom $50 were
children.s The largest daily attend
ance was 81.
The story hour, which has been
tried for the first time this month,
has been decided success and will
be continued throughout the winter.
1t is great delight to the children
who find, it all too short. The
Thanksgiving story was told the Sat
urday before Thanksgiving and

CONCORD

CONCORD coffee leaves nothing to be de-
sired for the money It's quality is supreme
for the price, and if you desire to practice
economy and to pay but as cents for coffee a
trial of CONCORD will prevent your vast
ing your money on other coffees selling for
25 cents You do waste money when you
do not get the value for it,
Below IS cents one cannot expect to
get an absolutely fine coffee, but if 20 cents
is your limit the highest value is in CONT
MENTAL, as you will readily acknowledge
after testing it.
Each brand has a different colored
sack: REvERE-red, LEXINGTON-blue, CON-
CoRD-orange. CONTINENTAL-yellow.
If you do uot use any of the above named
coffees, purchase some and treat yourself to
a surprise.
We especially recommend REVERE. 1t
will give you new ideas regarding what con-
stitutes delightful coffee
The Redwood gazette., 1905-12-13

The other class take up the land
because they deem it a good invest
ment and manage to improve it just
enough to pull through on a final
proof at the land offices and pay up,
and then let it rest until those who
make the homes and open their lands
have made it valuable by their i'm
provements.
Another class of the land hungry
public are those who are well-fixed
financially, but want to add to COM
petence already secured, mostly
through advance in land prices.
Two or three illustrations will be to
the point. A claim holder was tell
ing the writer of his farm of sec
ton of land near prominent coun-
ty seat in Minnesota, its improve
ments, stock, and general advan-
tages, and in reply to the question
how he could hold claim, having so
large farm already, he said: "Oh,
my family owns most Of that"
Another man with six sons and
daughters had entered 1120 acres.
He said he came to Minot and found
the chances SO good that he tele-
graphed all his children old enough
to take claims to come out on the
next train. The possibilities, under

If you pay IS cents you get
REVERE

No amount of money will buy better coffee
than Revere,
Rockefeller, Carnegie. Morgan. Belmont,

all their wealth can buy better coffee, and
thus, if you buy REVERE, your table is as
well supplied in respect to coffee as theirs
can be.

is value for our time, our brain product. the

should strive to get that.
We wish you to consider the question.

GRAFT IN RIGHLARD COUNTY.
SUPERVISORS OFFICE PROVED
TO BE A NEST OF THIEVES.
The Investigating Committee Reports
to the Governor That But for
Stealing Richland County
Would Be $4,000 Bet
ter Off.

Columbia, October 5.-The COM
mission appointed to investigate Rich
land county affairs made a sensation
al report to the governor today. The
report says that but for the stealing
that has been going on in the Super
visor's Office for the past six years,
the county, instead Of having slipped
back $4,000 in debt in that time,
would have been ahead, as was the
case when Supervisor S. NJ. Owens
took charge six years ago.
The graft seems to have been work
ed by innumerable forgeries, padded
vouchers and system Of cross mark
vouchers. The person most heavily
involved in the forgeries is Clerk c..
M. Douglass, a, prominent member
of the First Baptist church and very
old man. Numerous vouchers that
he cashed to pay personal notes at the
bank have been pronounced forgeries.
These forgeries amounting in one year
to over $4,000.
Commissioner Harmon confessed
that he padded vouchers, and that in
his three and half years connection
with the Office he received $4,000. He
says he divided with Supervisor Ow-
ems, but Owens denies this Harmon
is said to have gone to Canada. Others
involved are W. B. Cooper and John
Thornton, Richland county bridge
contractors
The commission has been able to
prove only mismanagement against
Supervisor Owens. McCaw.
