Your S. S. s., in my opinion, is as good
medicine as can be had; it simply cannotfe
improved upon as remedy to purify and enrich
the blood and to invigorats and tone up The

was run down in health, and having seen your
medicine highly advertised commenced Its use.
Today my blood is in fine condition and my
general health is Of the best. Am filing posi-

If l was not In good physical conditioni it would

FARMERS EDUCATIONAL i

LEARN TO GRADE COTTON.
50 That You May Know What You
 Sell

Y" mat fou May Know What You
 Sell.
 Congressman Albert Burleson of Texas has a bill pending in Congress to instruct and direct the National Az. ricultural Department to appoint a commission of experts to prepare a table of grades for cotton, not to ex. eeed thirteen in number, these thir. teen grades, middling being the basis. to be the official ruling and legal grades in all cotton sales and trans actions
 President Roosevelt, in his message to the Congress when 1t met in regular session last December. recommended the enactment of law establishing an official and legal grade table for grain. and what is right, proper and good for grain is right. proper and good for cot. ton. The principles involved are iden- tical and the necessities in the one in- stance are as imperative as in the other.
 Every market has it's own tables and systems of grading farm products sold by grade and every buyer has his sys- tems and methods, all of them wholly one-sided and arbitrary and rendering the producer defense,ess to save him. self from being imposed upon, ii any one should be desirous of taking ad vantage Of him. It certainly seems to be eminently fair and just that the government should fix legal systems that cannot be deviated from nol changed, save by the government tt self. the power creating them.
 How many grain growers. how many cotton raisers. old or young, can sam pie and grade their products? Are they not always at the mercy of the buyer, whoever or whatever they may be, as to the quality of their goods? A farmer would be ashamed of himsel. if he couldn't examine a horses mou and tell it's age: look over it's body an limbs and detect all it's blemishe spayins. windgalls, etc, or tell abo its eyes; or be ignorant os the thing: he should know when he went to bu mileh cows, or beef cattle, or hogs. Then, why should be be ignorant of the quality of his wheat, or corn, or oats, or cotton?
 The Farmers Union saw the point early in it's life and began the move ment to educate it's young men along these lines and established cotton grading schools in the South. Now we  see the business colleges advertising a cotton-grading department in their courses of study. Really, the agricul. tural colleges of the States should teach these things. Through the eff forts of National President c. s. Bar rett the agricultural college of Georgia has added the grading of cotton to it's curriculum. Every agricultural coi lege has it's textile department, and the grading of cotton could readily be made a part of the course of learning in these departments. Each one of these colleges also teaches its student how to grow grains, and it would be very easy to add how to grade them. Especially will it be easy for these col 1eges. for the business colleges and fc the Farmers Union cotton schools to teach these things if the government will establish fixed grades so that ing the same thing.-Co-Operator.

Why, yes, it is likely that there is a cotton holding trust all fixed up among the cotton raisers.

Denver Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
Feb. 3-Prices on good cattle
advanced 10 to Is cents here on
Monday of last week but later
most of the advance was lost,
owing to heavy receipts and
sharply lower markets east.
Good beef cattle closed about
steady with a week ago and
feeders and stockers about a
dime lower. Good steers sold at
SAL to S4.60 with bulk of good
killing cows at $500 to S3.65.
Several loads of choice northern
Colorado cows sold at S3.75 and
few fancy cows reached S3. 80.
Bulls were weak with bulk at
S2.60 to S3.15. Veals firm at
$500 to $500 for the best light
weight kinds. Feeder and stock
er supply was light. There was
a good strong demand for the
good heavy dehorned steers but
light, plain stuff, such as most
of the offerings last week con-
sisted of was slow sale on ac-
count of the poor outlet at east
ern markets. The good steers
offered during the week sold at
S4.0 90 to S4. 45 with medium kinds
mostly at S3.50 to S4.00. Re
ceipts today were 1000 head,
mostly cows. The demand was
strong and all sold early. Market
strong to a dime higher than last
week.
Hog supply was very good.
Demand was light early in the
week because of heavy runs pre-
ceeding week, but there was
considerable Improvement later
and the market closed in good
shape. Hogs are now selling
around S4. 25 to S4.3O.
Receipts of sheep and lambs
were very good and under strong
demand; everything offered here
found ready sale. Prices are
steady to firm compared with a
week ago. Good fat lambs sold
at S6. 30 to Sc. .65, ewes at S4. 1C
to S4. so and yearling wethers
brought $500 to S5. so.

Further Investigations to Improve Nat.
iOnaI forest Ranges.


Washington, January 31st. The gov
ernment has planned a series of scien-
tific reseeding experiments on several
of the National Forest Ranges next
spring and summer to determine under
what conditions and in. what manner
those portions of the range which have
been seriously damaged by overgrazing
may be restored to their former pro-
ductiveness.
A great deal of the range land in the
West is overgrazed and does not carry
as much stock as formerly. The method
of handling stock, particularly sheep,
is perhaps more responsible for this
condition than any other cause. But all
causes of deterioration and all means
for improving the forage crop need to
be studied, that the range may be
brought into the best condition to meet
the imperative demand of the livestock
industry.
The plan is to establish experimental
stations in several parts of the country.
Probably not more than six will be tried
at first, but they will be SO located as
to secure typical conditions. The ex-
periments will be begun on a small
scale, on five or six acre tracts. Both
native and wild grasses will be tried,
but it is believed that the plan of en-
couraging native grasses will meet with
greater success than the introduction
of cultivated species, at least in the
Rocky Mountain region. In the Coast
Ranges, with their greater rainfall,
cultivated grasses are more likely to
play an important part in range develop
ment.
The ranges of the Northwest have
not been so seriously damaged by over
grazing as those of the Southwest, per-
haps because of superior moisture con-
ditions of the northern part of the
country 1t is fact, however, that
none of the ranges support the stock
which they did formerly, and reseeding
experiments will therefore be under
taken in this section of the country
also.
The method of handling stock is also
to be considered. Every stockman
knows that stock do not waste as much
feed when unrestricted in their move
ments as when close herded. An ex-
perimental pasture was enclosed last
summer in the Imnaha National Forest
in Oregon, which will be model for
others next season. In this pasture
sheep were turned loose without a
herder, to shift for themselves. 1t is
too soon to draw positive conclusions
from this experiment, but the sheep
did well, and there was decided less
ening in the loss of forage through
trampling. 1t looks as though given
area of ground can be made to carry a
very much larger number of animals
when they are allowed to Craze free,
than when close herded. This fact, if
established, will be of decided impor-
tance to stockmen.
