FINE HoLSTEIN RECORD.
What Nebraska Cow Has Done in
TWelve-Month Test.

A three-year-old COW owned by the
Nebraska Agricultural college was
given a IL months official test with
the result below. Every pound of milk
was weighed and tested for butter fat.
The COW was milked three times a day
for the first six months of lactation
and all the feed given her was
weighed. The results obtained were
especially interesting.
In 365 days this COW produced 1888
pounds of milk of an average test of
3.34 per cent. butter fat. This amount
ed to $40 pounds of butter fat for the
year, which estimated as butter
amounts to 734 pounds. At 25 cents
per pound this butter would be worth
$1S1, making total value of products
1928. The value of the milk SOLIDS,
not fats, at 3 cents per pound would
be SAT.
The whole cost of the feed for this
COW was $71. If the 5000 quarts of
milk had been sold for cents per
quart, the income would have been
$500, or a net profit over the cost of
feed of nearly $3.50, but as the milk
was actually sold for cents per quart.
the net profit over the cost of feed
was nearly $470. For net profit, this
COW stands close to the record, in fact,
above any cows that we have ever
heard Of Can there be any better ar
gument for quality in dairy cow?

AGE TOLD ~ THE PULSE.
From Birth to Death the Beats Have
Steady Decrease.

How old are you? Ask your pulse.
The human pulse has a wide range,
even in perfectly healthy persons
The female pulse always beats fast
er than the male, and from birth to
death the pulse beats steadily de-
crease. 1t has been said by great
authorities that the age. and sex of
a person could be ascertained by the
rate of the pulse alone. Babies at
birth have pulse beat of 100 times
a minute in case of girl and $50 in
the case Of boys. At the age of four
or five the pulse beats Will have fall
en- respectively to 10 and 100. Maid
ems and youths pulses average 95
and so. Mature men and women av-
erage so and rs. Elderly men and
women have an average of 60 and so.
An old woman's pulse rarely, if ever,
sinks below so, but among men a
pulse beat below so Is quite common.
There are, however, great variations
consistent with health. Napoleon's
pulse is said to have beaten only A
times minute.

GONE FOREVER.

Ten years ago farmer put his ini-
tials on dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent it
with a merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back Four times
in six years the dollar came back to
him for produce and three times he
heard Of it in the pocket of his neigh
bors.
The la. time he got 1t back four
years ago. He sent it to mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar bill
will never pay any more school or
road tax for him, will never build or
brighten any of the homes of the COM
munity. He sent it entirely out of
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his neighbors.

The Evolution OF
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine busi-
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in, almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score OF more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulae for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve 1t in many ways, manu-
fscture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD huMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, Of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
Cor his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sors throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
DR.. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.

Corn is great feed for hogs; for fat

a large part of the winter in No / on
the late cowpeas. There is no kind
of forage better adapted to making
pork than these.
Last fall l bought among a lot Of
hogs some half-bred Jersey and
"razor-back' sows that had together
36 pigs. l fed the pigs two tons of
tankage at cost of SIG, and $40
worth of corn, and let them run in
good weather in a potato field that
had been dug. They rooted up and
ate all the potatoes that had been left.

pigs when sold had been only $4.75
each, showing a gain of $3.50 head.

APPENDICITIS.
Not at All Necessary to Operate In
Many Gases.

Automobiles and Appendicitis scare
Appendicitis is often caused by too
much starch in the bowels. Starch is
hard to digest and clogs up the diges-
tive machinery-also tends to form
cakes in the cecum. (That's the blind
pouch at entrance to the appendix)
A N. II. girl had appendicitis, but
lived on milk for awhile-then Grape
Nuts and got well without an opera
tion.
She says: Five years ago while at
school, l suffered terribly with consti-
patton and Indigestion" (Too much
starch, white bread, potatoes, etc.,
which she did not digest)
Soon after left school had an at
tack of appendicitis and for thirteen
weeks lived on milk and water. When

What Miut1t Be.

II. A. Hopper of the Illinois College
Of Agriculture has been testing the
cows OF that state for the last two
years. He makes the statement that
If all the cows in the state were as
good as the best herd he has tested
they would add to the revenue of the
farmers of Illinois over $60,000,0O0
annually. All this loss traces back
to tho mistaken judgment of the Hi.
nois farmer concerning cows. If he
would commence to make study of
COWS, their breeds and types, be
could correct that judgment.

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand ap-
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes p painf ul
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in a deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this perio O d
likely to become active and with q
host of nervous irritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of inn
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this grea t
change may be expected.

To the Editor.
Dear Sir,
willingly give you the result of my
four and half years experience in
the District of Saltcoats.
Previous to coming here 1 farmed in
Baldwin, ST. Croix County, Wisconsin,
and as l have heard a great deal about
the Canadian Northwest, | decided
to take a trip there and see the coun-
try for myself. l was so impressed
with the richness of the soil that /
bought half q section of land about
five miles from the town of Saltcoats.
l moved on to the land the following
June and that year broke 80 acres,
which L cropped in 1904, and had SO
bushels wheat per acre. In 1905, with
an acreage of 160 acres, l had "a bush
els wheat and 35 bushels of oats per
acre. In 1906, with IT'S acres under
crop, I had % bushels wheat and 45
bushels of oats per acre.
From the above mentioned yields
you can readily understand that l am
very well pleased with the Canadian
West. OF course, have had to work
hard, but I don't mind that when l
get such a good return for my labor.
To anyone thinking about coming to
this country can truthfully say that
If they are prepared to work and not
grumble at trifles, they are bound to
get on. Some things l would like diff
ferent, but take the country all round,

Every Man His Own Doctor.


The average man cannot afford to
employ a physician for every slight all
ment or injury that may occur in his
family, nor can he afford to neglect
them, as so slight an injury as the scratch
of a pin has been known to cause the
loss of a limb. Hence every man must
from necessity be his own doctor for
this class of ailments. Success often
depends upon prompt treatment, which
can only be had when suitable medi-
cines are kept at hand. Chamberlain's
