What the Best
Beer Is Made OF
Process of Leading American Brewery
is the Standard Of Excellence.

In the brewing of beer, as in the
manufacture of other products, there
is a standard of excellence. This
ess, and the recognized superior of all
beers, in cleanness, purity, food value
and refreshing. satisfying taste, is
Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer.
1t may be true thai some brewers
cheaper the cost of production and
thereby lower the quality of their
product, by use of inferior ingredients.
but Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is brewed
from the purest, best ingredients that
money can buy or produce, the ingre-
dents which are essential to the pro-
duction of the best beer. These in
gradients are the choicest imported
hops, pure water, and Pabst exclusive
eight-day malt, grown from the finest
selected barley by the Pabst exclusive
method of slow growth.
Malt grown by the rushed four-day
method, the usual method in breweries,
ural development of the barley its
vital food elements are thrown off and
lost. "Pabst," as one eminent scientist
mas SAID, retains all the nOuflsuIneHl
Of the grain in his exclusive eight-day
process of making malt and therefore
Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is the richest
as we'll as the cleanest beer in the
world"
Knowing these things to be true we
can recomemnd Pabst Blue Ribbon
Beer as the cleanest, purest most sat
isfying and most healthful beer
brewed-the beer that should be kept
in the home.

AN ENORMOUS DAT CROP.
Vast Difference Given in Reports o
SAGE and Wells


Sage and Wells.
Des Moines, Aug. Z. - Iowa's oats
crop this year will reach the enorm-
out output of 147,OO0.00O bushels, an
increase of 100000 bushels over that
of last year, according to the final es
innate for this CROP, issued by
Secretary George Wells of the Iowa
Grain Dealers Association. This esti-
mate of the oat crop comes as sur
prise to observers since 1t has been
predicted that the oats will be less
in quantity this year than last, tho
better in quality. This statement has
been made by ]. r. Sage of the Iowa
crop service so that there is an appar-
ent discrepancy between Mr. Sages
estimate and the estimate as submitted
by the grain dealers observers.
Mr.. Wells gives the average per acre
at 35 bushels while Mr. Sage has placed
his estimate, tho not official, at 80
bushels. However, Mr.. Sage allows all
most 100000 more acreage to oats than
does Mr. Wells. The report yesterday
was regarded as the most important of
any issued, and is in fact the first ac-
tual estimate thus far put forward by
any official or semi-official observer.
AS to corn, in which, naturally
Iowans are mostly interested, Mr..
Wells makes no total estimate. He
gives the percentage of the corn at this
time as contrasted with the yield of
last year. This is very encouraging,
especially in the south central portion
where Mr.. Wells places corn as "a per
cent better than last year at this time.
In five Of the nine districts he lists
corn at 100 per cent or better.
From these figures, it is not far
amiss to say that Mr.. Wells estimate
of the total product will go beyond that
offered some time ago wherein g yield
OF 351,OO0,000 was predicted. Mr..
Wells also gives his corn acreage,
which is 9,669,I04, as contrasted with
9,443960, the average given out by Di-
rector Sage. Upon the acreage basis
then. it is also fair to say that Mr..
Wells total yield estimate will be con-
sderably larger than the 51,000,000
estimate which was based upon the
lesser acreage given out by MIR. Sage.
There is wide discrepancy between
Mr.. Sage's acreage and Mr. Wells all
along the line. For instance, in spring
wheat, Mr. Sage gives the acreage as
37725O, while MIR. Wells report shows
316.6sO. MIR. Sage gives barley an
acreage of 55s,S7O, while Wells gives
it as 5094O0 These figures on acreage
will make a variance between the final
estimates as submitted by Wells yes
terday and that to be submitted by
Mr.. Sage at the conclusion of the seas
on.
Mr.. Wells in his report presents fig
ures on temperature showing in every
instance except on that the tempera-
ture turnout the various Iowa districts
has been below normal However in
the southeastern section he says the
temperature has been 10 above nor
NAL.

These cattle have been on feed about
five months. weighed 1910 pounds ana
sold at $40. Prospects for corn are
pretty well shipped out.
William Collins, who recently re-
turned from an extensive trip IN the
sheep range section of Montana is con-
WINGED that the lamb crop available
from that state this year is not more
than So per cent of last years big mar
keting. In Great Northern territory
marketing will fall 30M50 per cent be-
low that of last year. Breeding sheep
have been so high in the range country
and the price of wool has been so en-
couraging the last two years that a
good portion of the crop OF eve lambs
will be held back should there be any
considerable decline from the prices
for range stock that have prevailed
thus far this season.
Any impression that the country is
short on hogs looks decidedly er-
roneous.

Effective Treatment of Lousy Live
Stock.

Farm stock that becomes badly in
tested with lice during the winter
months does not thrive as it should,
and in the spring may show marked
unthriftiness This is especially true
when stock is not well cared for and
in young animals.
The sucking lice are more harmful
than the biting varieties, as the former
have mouth parts adapted to pene-
trating the skin and sucking the blood
of the host. However, the symptoms
may be as marked in sheep and ami
mails, that are badly infested with bit
ing lice. In such cases the wool or
coat becomes matted and detached, and
the skin irritated and inflamed as Il
result of the animals rubbing, biting
and scratching the parts.
Good care during the winter will
prevent the lice from doing a great
deal of harm, and the simpler rene
dies, such as mercurial and sulphur
ointment rubbed back of the horns
or ears and along the name and back,
and insect powder busted into the coat,
may help in destroying them A thor
ough treatment of the herd with dips
or washes cannot be practiced during
the winter months, unless the treated
animals are prevented from catching
cold
A favorable time to use this line of
treatment is in the spring. A one or
two per cent water solution of a tar
disinfectant should be used. A con-
yenient way to apply the remedy in the
larger animals is with a spray pump,
and in sheep and hogs by dipping.
Whatever method is used, the coat and
skin must be thoroughly wet with the
solution. Proper care should be TAX
en- in mixing the remedy, as there is
danger of making it too strong and ir-
ritating the skin.
After treating the herd, the stables,
sheds, or sleeping quarters should be
sprayed with about a 2 per cent water
solution of the disinfectant. or white
wash may be used instead. This is
necessary in order to prevent REIN
fecting the herd from the surround
ings. If there is much litter around
the yards and it cannot be gotten rid
of. it is advisable to move the herd
to other yards.
Tar disinfectants in one or two per
cent solutions do not destroy the eggs
or nits, hence it is necessary to treat
the animals again in ten days or two
weeks.
Stockmen sometimes ask if the feed
ing of sulphur to lousy animals will
not drive away or destroy the lice.
The feeding of small doses of sulphur
will do no harm, neither will it help
in getting rid of the lice and it can
not be considered remedy for this
class of disorders when used in this
way. Sulphur is effective. however.
when used, externally, and the addi-
ton of four ounces to every gallon
of the. tar disinfectant solution used,
greatly increases the effectiveness OF
the remedy. r. A. CRAIG.

Price Range Was Not Materially

Weights Went Five Lower Before

Steady to Ten Higher.

Chicago. Aug. 7.-Cattle-Receipts
of $500 were largely plain and medium
classes, and the price range was not
materially different from that estab-
lished the day before. Shippers and
exporters sent in a few orders, and
packers also operated lightly. There
were but few really good steers in the
supply.
Both the exporters and shippers were
mainly after weighty steers, and the
light and medium weight grades. eveh
tho strictly good in quality, did not
move as freely as those which had the
preferred weight.
There is falling off in general quail
ity of the supply of western rangers as
compared with the first offerings a
week ago, and buyers were loath to
take hold of the palmer grades, some
of such having killed out poorly last
week, thus making slaughterers eau
tious bidders.

ers were enabled to secure slightly
better range than was in force late

orders were filled. the market weak

lower. The quality was poorer than
the previous day.
