Make 1t Yourself.

There is so much Rheumatism
here in our neighborhood now that
the following advice will be highly
appreciated by those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy
one-half ounce Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one ounce Compound
Kargon; three ounces Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake these
well in a bottle and take a tea
spoonful dose after each meal and
at bedtime; also drink plenty of
good water.
1t is claimed there are few vic
tins of this dread and torturous
disease who will fail to find ready
relief in this simple homemade
mixture, and in most cases per-
manent cure is the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimi-
native tissues of the kidneys SO
that they can filter and strain from
the blood and system the poisons,
acids and waste matter, which
cause not only Rheumatism but
numerous other diseases. Every
man or woman here who feels that
their kidneys are not healthy and
active, or who suffers from any
urinary trouble whatever, should
not hesitate to make up this mix
ture as it is certain to do much
good, and may save you from
much misery and suffering after a
while.
Our home druggists say they
will either supply the ingredients
or mix the prescription ready to
take if our readers ask them.

Substantial Growth Last Year

1t is not amiss about this time
of year for individuals and COM
munities to figure their gains and
losses for the year that has gone.
At that sort of amusement La Jara
could make a very creditable show
ing and have the balance on the
right side. The L. S. as whole
has seen more prosperous years
than 1908 and the larger cities
without exception experienced a
decided check. Even the west felt
to some extent the pinch of less
prosperous times and the individ-
ual in casting up his yearly
balance sheet may count himself
lucky if it shows anywheres near
an even break. That being the
case, the citizens of La Jara can
contemplate with considerable sat
isfaction the progress made during
the past year in the town and in
the surrounding country.
A round dozen new residences
have been built in La Jara aud
about the same number in the
country tributary to it. They are
all of modern construction and
pleasing design and most credit
able addition to a growing COM
munity.

On the reverse side Of the cards given
the men were the names Of the girls

names Of the men. The acting hostess
explained that there would be no
formal introductions, that when a man
or a girl thought he or she had dis
covered who was who" the name, or
rather the number opposite the name,
was to be marked. To the one who
made the largest number Of correct"
acquaintance a prize was awarded,
and there were special prizes for dis
covering the fads or peculiarities Of
guests. This is really a most jolly
and effective method Of placing a
large number Of strangers at their

Way to Find Partners.

BUILD YOUR
SILO EARLY
Thrifty Farmer VIII Have II
Ready to Take Care ofCrope
Before the Frost Comes.

Silos should be built in time to take
care of the crops before frost comes,
and the thrifty farmer will build as
early as possible.
/ built a round silo, Is feet inches
in diamater by 80 feet high, and placed
in 1t about seven acres of drilled corn
we'll cared, and three acres of hill corn
from the shock, all cut and blown into
the silo, mixed as it went in and wet
down we'll, writes Joseph Newman in
Farmers Review. This made 125 tons
of the best winter feed for dairy COWS
that / ever saw.
We started feeding 1t to 50 cows
and ten head Of young stock on De-
cember /, and II was sufficient to last
them until March 10.
The corn put in in this way furnish.
ed not only the roughage. but concen.
trates, and all needed to balance the
ration was four pounds Of gluten meal
and four pounds Of wheat bran per day
for each COW. Following this stock In
the barnyard were about 80 hogs,
shotes and sows, and with practically
no other feed l never saw stock look
any better on March 1.
We found the best way to feed was
to feed the bran and gluten meal be-
fore and during milking time. and the
ensilage after milking. The milk was
bought by one of the large milk COM
panies which supply Chicago with bot
tied milk and was pronounced by them
a fine article, testing on the average
about 81 per cent. butter fat by the
Babcock test.
For a dairy Of so COWS, two round
silos, each IS feet in diameter by So
feet high, should furnish enough for
the winters feeding and to carry the
stock through the dry time the next
fall.

METHOD OF PICKING
APPLES FOR MARKET
When Scarce Is Very Important Conserve Fruit for
Consumption in the WHEREBY
Joe A. Burton.

When apples are scarce II is very
important to conserve them to best
advantage. So very many families
are without apples during most of
the winter. Often persons remark to
me that they had quite a lot Of ap-
pies at gathering time. but they
wouldn't keep. Now why Is this! We
know it is the business of a sound
apple to keep till its cell structure is
broken down by over-ripening. I'M
less interfered with by an outside
agent. This agent may be a bruise,
q rotten apple or too great warmth.
Apples do not rot through pure Gus
sedness. The farmer will drive his
jolt wagon into the orchard and then
pick and pour into 1t apples Of vari-
GUS varieties and every conceivable
grade of rottenness and soundness.
writes Joe A. Burton in Farmers Re-
view. When the box is full, all the
pickers sit on the apples while they
are driven to the place of deposit.
The pickers are on the apples with
their feet while they scoop up with
both hands half a dozen at a time

How TO Build a Stack.

Start the stack as though you we're
going to put up a large shock, except
that the sheaves must be a little
more slanting. This will insure a
good slope for drainage from the bot.
tom to the top with very little, II
any, spoiled grain in the bottom of
the stack. Lay the butts Of each
circle of sheaves little farther out
till the stack is Of desired size. Then
start another layer. beginning at the
outside.
After laying the outside circle start
the second, the butts Of which
should reach Just to the band or
Irvine, on the first. Continue this to
center Of the stack, then back to the
outside circle again and proceed as
before to center Of stack. Follow
this plan carefully. remembering to
keep the middle full. and your stack
will shed water like a single roof.

Specks In Butter.

The white specks In butter are due
to poor ripening of the cream. saws
the Epitomist.
Some Of the cream has "wheyed of"
and decomposed and the casein has
gathered in clots and the whey has
separated from the cream. These
clots Of curd will not churn out They
remain In the butter as clots and al.
ways look white. Artificial coloring
has no effect upon them, and winter
or summer they spoil the looks of the
butter. Greater care In ripening the
cream is called for, but even in
creameries there are times when
these colorless clots form and the
sure way to do is to strain the cream
into the churn. Then the clots do not
get into the churn and are not found
In the butter.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1909-10-29

moral consideration We will never
know because commercially We can
not take such risks.
Apples should be picked In medium
sized baskets and not bruised. This
means that they must be placed in
the baskets by hand and neither
dropped nor tossed. They should be
hauled in these same baskets on a
spring wagon to the packing stand.
Do not pour them in box there but
sort them from the basket. The fol-
lowing is the procedure with us: A
basket OF apples is placed on the
table directly In front Of the sorter.
Around this is grouped four empty
baskets. There are four grades-No.
l, No. 2. culls and castaways, or as
we say, mill culls. These grade bas-
kets should always occupy the same
relative position so the sorter
through habit will place each grade
where 1t belongs.
