The Nebraska experiment station has
recently issued bulletin No. 100 on the
subject of milking machines, which
may be had by residents of that state
free of cost by writing to the agricul-
tural experiment station at Lincoln
and possibly to those of other states
for nominal sum. The station
installed milking machine plant
in the fall of 1906 and from expert
ments there conducted secured data
from which summary was made of
all important points growing out of the
use of the milking machine. In April,
1906 list of questions covering the
practical use of the mechanical mixer
was mailed to every dairyman in Ne
braska who had been or was using the
machine, and the answers received,
coupled with the data above men,
toned, form the subject matter of the
bulletin referred to. Among the many
important conclusions reached as a re-
suit of the investigation may be men
toned the following: Heifers In first
period Of lactation give better results
than aged cows used to hand milking
some cows are not adapted to machine
milking at all; with some cows manipu-
lation of the udder is necessary before
all of milk can be drawn by machine;
one man operating one machine can
milk about as many cows as one man
milking by hand; two men operating
four machines. as many cows, about
twenty-one. as three men milking by
hand. 1t was found necessary to thor
oughly wash and boil the milking ma
chine parts after each usage in order
to produce milk as free from bacteria
as that secured by careful hand milk
ing. CarelessneSs in cleansing resulted
in filthier milk than was obtained by
even poor hand methods. The bulletin
closes with the suggestion that to Sue
coed properly with the milking machine
the dairyman should understand his
herd of cows and should give most
careful attention to details The opin-
ion is also expressed that the use of
the machine mixer would be imprac-
ticable to install If fewer than, thirty
cows were MIXED the year round

The Clapp-Zammit Hospital.

A recent number of the Malta Gazette
contains the welcome news that Mrs.
Henry L. Clapp will be able to complete
the Clappzammit hospital. About a
month ago it was announced that Mrs.
Clapp hadlost 100000 by the betrayal
of trust of her brokers, this money hav-
ing been set aside to complete the hospi-
tai in which her husband, the late Henry
L. Clapp, was so deeply interested. The
Malta paper says that it is expected
that the masonry work will be complet-
ed by March, and that Mrs. Clapp has
engaged to provide for the equipment OF
the hospital and to endowit adequately
The hospital building itself will cost
about $4,000. The paper further says
that the names of Mrs. Clapp and Miss
Dammit, her sister, will ''go down to
posterity and their memory be held in
benedietion by both rich and poor"

In Five Minutes.

Take your sour stomach--or maybe
you call it Indigestion. Dyspepsia, Gas
tritis or Catarrh Of Stomach; it doesn't
matter-take your stomach trouble right
with you to your Pharmacist and ask
him to open 50-cent case of Pape's Dia-
pepsin and let you cat one % grain Tri-
angule and see if within five minutes
there is left any trace of your stomach
misery.
The correct name for your trouble is
Food Fermentation-food souring; the
Digestive organs become weak, there is
lack of gastric juice; your food is only
half digested, and you become affected
with loss of appetite, pressure and full
ness after eating, vomiting, nausea,
heartburn, gripping in bowels, tenderness
in the pit of stomach, bad taste in mouth,
constipation, pain in limbs, sleeplessness,
belching of gas, biliousness, sick head
ache, nervousness, dizziness and many
other similar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle, and nothing
tempts you. or you belch gas or it you
feel bloated after eating, or your food
lies like lump OF lead on your stomach,
you can make up your mind that at the
bottom of all this there's but one cause
fermentation of undigested food.
Prove to yourself after your next meal,
that your stomach is as good as any;
that there is nothing really wrong. Stop
this fermentation and begin eating what
you want without fear of discomfort or
misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. tits merely a matter of how soon
you take little Diapepsin.

Asks Us to Print.

To relieve the worst forms of Rheuma
tism, take a teaspoonful of the following
mixture after each meal and at bedtime
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one. hall
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be OBJ
tanned from our home druggists, and are
easily mixed by shaking them we'll in a
bottle. Relief is generally felt from the
first few doses.
This prescription forces the clogged-up
inactive kidneys to filter and strain from
the blood the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid, which causes Rheumatism
AS Rheumatism is not only the most
painful and torturous disease, but dan,
gerous to life, this simple recipe will nc
doubt be greatly valued by many sui
ferers here at home, who should at once
prepare the mixture to get this relief.
1t is said that person, who would
take this prescription regularly, dose
or two daily, or even few times week,
would never have serious Kidney or
Urinary disorders or Rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which really
relieve are scarce, indeed, and when you
need it, you want it badly.

In a hearing which the country life
commission held in the Twin Cities a
resident of the southern part of Mime
sofa suggested the novel idea of oper
ating laundries in connection with the
cooperating creameries of the coun-
try, the waste steam from the boilers
to be utilized for the purpose. If such
a plan could be worked out, 1t would
be an almost incalculable boon to the
overworked farmers wife, one of the
chief bugbears of whose routine work
is the heavy washing which has to be
got out of the way every week. While
the suggestion needs elaboration, it Is
along a needed line and should be
given serious consideration.
