ALIBERAL OFFER
Useful Present Being Given 10 Sub.
serIbsrs Of The Argus.

In order to double our already larg,
circulation and thus be able to secure an
increase in our advertising rates, THE
ARGUS will make a present TO old and
new subscribers Of pair of Patent Ten
sion Shears.
You can get, ABSOLUTELY FREE, a
better pair Of shears than you ever used
by subscribing for The ARGUS for a year,
or renewing your subscription if You are
already a subscriber, and paying in adj
vance $3.50, the regular price of THE
ARGUS.
Such a tempting offer was never before
made TO the reading public OF Preston
county. The merits Of TIE ARGUS as a
fearless and newsy paper needs no telling.
As to the shears, read:
They are premium alike useful and
indispensable TO the housewife, stenogra-
pher, saleslady, maid, lawyer, farmer,
doctor, or tradesman in any line.
The shears being distributed by THE
ARGUS are manufactured Of the very high
est grade steel, perfectly tempered, and
heavily nickel-plated on highly polished
surface. The patent tension spring takes
up all the wear on the rivet, so that the
cutting edges will never wear dull. A
simple turn Of the little thumb-screw will
adjust the blades to cut anything from
the thinnest and most delicate fabric to
the heaviest material. Every woman who
has had the temper-trying experience of
attempting 20 cut with dull pair of
shears will appreciate the value Of this
invention.
And this is the guarantee, printed
copy of which accompanies each pair of
shears:
We guarantee the quality of the mate
rial and the workmanship in these shears
10 be first-class in every respect; that the
tension spring doubles the usefulness of
the shears and does away with the neces-
sity OF resharpening. If this pair of shears
breaks or becomes defective i'm any way
within five years from the date delivered
1t will be replaced with new pair free.

With most corn breeders a definite
effort has been made for years past to
reduce the cob to the smallest possible
size, the grain produced being the pri-
mary and really only object In view.
In certain sections OF Missouri. how
ever, q different standard prevails.
Here a type OF corn is raised In which
the largest cob possible has been de-
veloped, an important, II not the pri-
mary. object In the growing of Il be-

hibit Of ears OF this description are

AS giving further proof Of the view
which is coming to be quite generally
accepted by corn growers-that a type
Of corn should not be planted In a Sec
ton too far removed from the place
where 1t was grown-we recall the re-
mark Of central Nebraska farmer
who got seed corn from n grower IN
Indiana, where 1t produced between
seventy and eighty bushels to the acre.
The corn seemed to be vigorous and
gave much promise at the start Of a
bumper yield, but when caring time
came 1t simply failed to do business
for some cause or other and did not
produce an ear. This Is an extreme
case. but illustrates a fact that corn
growers who wish to get seed from
other localities SHOULD take into nc.
count.

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 a milking machine plant
In the fall Of 1905 and from expert
ments there conducted secured data
from which a summary was made Of
all important points growing out Of the
use OF the milking machine. In April
1905, a 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 10. Among the many
important conclusions reached as a re-
suit OF the investigate 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 IL 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 IL was found necessary to thor.
oughly wash and boz 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 Althier 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

FAKE HOG CHOLERA sERuMs.


One of the emergency bulletins re-
Gently issued by the department of ag-
riculture ut Washington brands as
rank frauds one or two brands OF hog
cholera serum which have been adver-
tised within the past two or three
months. The claims OF the efficacy Of
the serum In question were put In very
strong language, but when put to the
test I'm accordance with directions on
the containing bottles by the depart
ment experimenters the medicine was
found to be absolutely worthless. every
hog treated turning up fits toes like
other uDyaccinated animals. In view
Of the high price ut which reliable
serum is sold, the temptation is very
great for grafters and impostors to
concoct a bogus article, grace II with
a fancy name and palm 1t or on the
unsuspecting. who. II they need a hog
cholera remedy at all, need It badly
and would purchase without stopping
to question its reliability. II would be
well for all those wishing to make
trial Of the new hog cholera remedy to
use only such brands Of the serum as
have the commentator of the special
lists In animal diseases at the state ex-
pertinent station or Of the state veteri-
marian, and the hogs should only be
treated by one who understands his
business thoroughly. This manufac-
ture and sale Of bogus hog cholera Sc
rum call rather forcefully to mind the
fraud that was extensively perpetrat-
ed couple Of years ago under the
guise Of nitrocultures supposed to con-
tain bacteria whose presence was IA
vorable to the growth Of a number
or the legumes. An examination by
the government experts revealed much
the same condition as has been found
70 exist In connection with the intro
duction Of the new hog cholera serum.
