them, and how to prevent cholera from getting into the herd.
 The Monticello boys are as proud of their silo as ordinary college boys are of their baseball grandstand. Since the silo of Monticello has been put up, , forty silos have been built in surround. ing communities A good many of these silos the boys have helped to fill They have portable gasoline engine and silage cutter so they can fill silos quickly and we'll.
 Of course the boys and girls at Monticello go in for athletics along with their other activities, but they can put out better stock judging teams than they can baseball nines-which the farmers of the district seem to think is rather to their credit. Tho stock judging teams have won med and so have the corn judging and cot. ton chasing teams.
 In Monticello there are over 300 far mer boys and girls and the expense of each averages only about $10 month. The school has a special fund for helping young men and young wo- men who can not afford to pay the minimum sum that Is charged for board. For extra labor these worthy boys and girls are paid out of this fund. If the fund were bigger, there would be still more young men and young women working their way through to success in life on the Ar kansas farms.
 Monticello is no different from the other three Agricultural Schools when

Of More importance.

MT. Arthur H. Engelbach, in his col. lection of anecdotes of the British bench, tells this story about Lord Rraxfield. who was among the last of the Scotch judges who rigidly adhered to the broad Scotch dialect
 "Hae ye ony counsel, mon?" he said to Maurice Margot, when placed at the bar.
 "No,' was the reply.
 Do ye want to hae ony appointit?' continued the judge.

''CASCARETS' FOR
 SLUGGISH BOWELS
No sick headache; sour stomach, bi|iousness or constipation
 by morning.
Get a 10-cent box now.

Turn the rascals out-the headache, biliousness, indigestion, the sick, sour stomach and foul gases-turn them out tonight and keep them out with Cascarets.
 Millions of men and women take a Cascaret now and then and never know the misery caused by a lazy liver, clogged bowels or an upset stom- ach.
 Don't put in another day of distress. Let Cascarets cleanse your stomach; remove the sour, fermenting food; take the excess bile from your liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poison in the bowels. Then you will feel great.
 A Cascaret tonight straightens you out by morning. They work while you sleep. A 10-cent box from any drug store means clear head. sweet stomach and clean, healthy liver and bowel action for months. Chil- dren love Cascarets because they never gripe or sicken. Adv.

it comes to work. It is work that counts and the work that the girls and boys will do will count for sue cess in later years. .'any of the girls are expert sewers and dressmakers
 They believe that the farmer gIri should be able to dress just as we'll and on considerable less money than the town girl. They know that the love of man whether on farm or in town, hinges to a considerable extent on neatness and attractiveness in dress. This is looking a little ways ahead, but it is safe to say that a good many of the girls at Monticello. as well as the other Agricultural Schools will become the wives of young far mers. Not only will they be able to make their own clothes and those of their children, they will look after "hubby's" apparel also Not only will they know how to cook. but they will know what to cook. because they know about the foods that are most nourish- ing and that are most palatable. No, only will they know how to take care of a house, but they will know how to plan one and make 1t charming to the eye. The girls put fin good deal of time in their 'tomestic Art Depart ment, which is a sort of finishing off course to Domestic Science. There are going to be good many farm homes made more comfortable and more attractive by the work of these girls who are now at Monticello When farm homes are made more attractive and farms are made more prosperous. there will be more and more farmers and the more farmers there are. the richer and better will be the state

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
 KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Acting Right or If Back Hurts or Bladder Rothers You.

When you wake up with backache 1t generally means you have been eat ing too much meat, says well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they be- come sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells: your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft en get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult a good, reliable physi- clan at once or get from your pharma- cist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com binet with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irri- tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is life saver for regular meat eaters. It Is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effer- vescent Whitewater drink.-Adv.

Both parties had perfect weather, a

Greenwich party paid special attention
to the ultraviolet spectrum of the

It IS THE MAN BEHIND
HEN TFAT COUNTS

In the current issue of the Farm
and Fireside, the national farm paper
published at Springfield, Ohio, b. F.
w. Thorpe writes a remarkably in
teresting and helpful article describ-
ing three great American egg laying
contests in which he tells which hens
laid the most eggs and why. The or
binary poultry man will be immense
ly interested in the following extract
from the article. Mr.. Thorpe quotes
it from Mr.. William +. Kirkpatrick
who is in charge of the Connecticut
Experiment Station poultry work and
the Egg Competition.
There is no best breed.

Lincoln's hens 30 birds TO a pen)
have produced 2,OSS eggs and Bar
ron's Wyandottes 2,0S5. Now there
is of course, no real difference be
tween the egg producing qualities Of
the leading pen of Leghorns and the
Wyandottes in either the first con
test or the present one. Two eggs
on nearly LOO, or three eggs oil
nearly 2,1O0, means nothing. 1t Il

A[FALFA-SEEO PEST
RESEMBLES GNAT But IS
MUCH MORE DANGEROUS

The chalcis fly under the micro
scope is formidable looking inse:t
but when seen in the field it is fre-
quently confused with the gnat.
These pests may be seen in great
flying over alfalfa seed
shocks and swarming over the sickle
bar when the alfalfa Is being cut.
The eggs are so small as to be visi-
be to the naked eye and are depos-
tied through the soft, green seed pods
directly into the soft seeds when
the pods are about half grown. I'm
mediately upon becoming a fly, the
insect eats its way out through the
shells Of the infested seeds, then thru
the green pods. Large portions OF
the seeds are followed out in this
manner when they are still green and
growing.
The infested seeds which still con
tain the living larvae Of the insec'
may be recognized by their abnormal
shape and usually by the dull brown
color. Some of the infested seeds
however, retain their natural color
nut they always lack the glossy ap
pearance of normal seeds. The ex
tent to which alfalfa seed is damaged
by the fly is not generally apparent
owing to the minuteness of the IN
sect and because its destructive wor'
is accomplished within the growing
seeds The alfalfa seed grower cal
