One OF the much debated subjects
among dairymen I'm the past has been
whether the butter fat content OF milk
Is affected by the character OF the ra-
ton given the COW. The majority OF
dairymen seem agreed that fat cannot
be fed into milk, and this view seems
still further confirmed by some tests
which have recently been made at
Wye, England. In the test oils were
fed in varying quantity 10 several
rows, which we're given grass pasture
twenty days at the close or the test
period. IL was found that there was
no increase In the flow OF milk and
no Increase I'm percentage OF butter
Fat. It was noticed, however. that the
quality and texture OF the butter were
affected by the character OF the oils
fed. but this was all.

Among the many excellent provisions
or the lately enacted North Dakota
pure food law is one requiring mer-
chants to screen fruits which are to be
eaten whole from flies and street dust.
The retailers have taken advantage Of
the law for their own advantage, as
they have adopted the plan OF display
ing such fruit in n neat and inviting
manner under glass showcases. Re
ports are to the effect that their fruit
sales have largely increased under the
new system. The law has PANIED out
as a sort Of blessing in disguise, which
1t surely is for the consumer

The cold snap which swept over the
country about the middle OF October
caused utmost concern to many fruit
growers in Colorado. where apples are
n primary crop. At Grand Junction.
receiving warning OF the impending
freeze, the ranch owners appealed to
the townspeople to come to their aid
In the harvesting OF the fruit and In
tending night fires in the orchards to
keep the fruit which there was not
time to gather from freezing. The re-
spouse was hearty. and as a result the
bulk Of the crop was saved.

1t is only fair to the dairymen who
furnish the residents OF towns and
cities with supply OF pure milk from
tuberculin tested cows that the latter
the consumers-should pay n price
which will cover the added expense
which the dairymen are put to in test
Ing their herds and the extra care they
have to exercise in producing n germ
and filth free product. There are two
sides to this matter OF n pure milk
supply, and this is the other one.

In a very good natured discussion
which the writer had not long since
with the advertising manager Of one
Of the two largest catalogue houses in
the country the point was urged
against patronizing catalogue concerns
that In the measure in which it was
INDUCED In it tended to knock out the
business Of the small towns and as
consequence to reduce the value of ad-
Jacent farm lands. Our friend did not
offer to deny the truth of this state
ment-in fact, acquiesced in it when he
later stated that he thought Missis-
sippi valley lands were getting too
high. There is something in this ad-
mission for regular catalogue house
patrons to ponder over.

The rules adopted this season by the
Hood River Fruit Growers association
having to do with the handling OF the
apple crop provide, among other things.
that the fruit must be taken from the
trees only in the early hours of the

Is that the fruit shall be cool when
picked and kept so while being boxed
md placed in storage. This precau-
ton greatly enhances the shipping and
keeping qualities OF the apples

Why They Were
Certified

Being state official and authorized
to authenticate documents, | have
been called upon in my official capac-
ity to authenticate hundreds OF state
ments that are so at variance with
the popular beliefs, and the evidence
! of the text books, as to the durability
of chronic kidney disease, that the UNI
usual precaution was taken to have
them authenticated with an official
seal.
Text books declare that inflammat-
ion Of the kidneys in the chronic
forms is incurable.
Several hundred letters and state
ments selected because they were
from supposed ircurables were pres
ented for attestation and certificates
The recoveries reported by them per-
NIT only two views, viz either the age
of miracles has not passed or the text
books are wrong and the supposed
dead line between the durable and the
incurable forms Of kidney disease has
disappeared. To my mind there is
no escape from the latter view, and
chronic kidney disease, even in its
worst forms, is no longer an incurable
l further certify that tae recoveries
certified to as above were made by
Fultons Renal Compound.
In attestation of the foregoing |
hereby attach my signature and offici-
al seal at my Office in Montgomery
Block, San Francisco, California, this
2Sth day of February 1908.

ARE YOU,
GOOD WOMAN, AT
YOUR BEST?

Many beautiful women find themselves
losing good looks and health-slowly fad
ing from cause unknown to them. She
has no appetite, and the food she does eat
seems to do her no good. Why9 If you
should ask her what the trouble is, she
would say, u am just tired out" But
the real cause is constipation and its result
ing condition - bad blood. Just think
what habitual neglect of the bowels means
sickness instead Of good health ner-
vousness instead of vigor, cheenulness
replaced by depression, happiness by misery.
Aweek's use of Smiths Pineapple and
Butternut Pills will work wonders. They
will regulate the functions of the liver and
the bowels, Immediately unload the conges-
ton, cure the constipation and cleanse the
blood of impurities. These little pills will
soon make you feel and look at your best.
Physicians use and recommend. They
form no habit. You should always keep
them on hand. These little Vegetable
Pills will ward off MANY ills.
