IOWA PREFERS KANSAS CORN.
Thousands of Bushels Shipped Out of
Jewell County This Winter.

Mankato, Kan, Fee 2S.-Thousands
of bushels of Jewell county corn are
being shipped to Iowa this winter.
Those parts of Iowa which suffered
most from the cold, wet weather last
summer are apparently anxious for
Kansas corn and prefer it to corn from
other states. Last month seventeen
cars were shipped out of Lovewell, a
small town on the Santa Fe in the
eastern part of Jewell. by one buyer
alone. Several buyers along the Rock
Island ere also shipping to Iowa points.
The majority of the Jewell county
corn crop. however, will doubtless be
held over for spring and summer feed
ing. Only about 100000 bushels have
been shipped from Mankato this win
ter, which is an indication that farm
ers expect to hold for some time at
least. The corn acreage in this county
for 1916 will be the greatest for several

IS POUNDS OF BLOOD

is the average quantity in healthy
adult, but it is the quality of the blood
that determines our strength to resist
sickness. With weak blood we find
cold hands and chilly feet; in children
an aversion to study, and in adults
rheumatic tendencies.
In changing seasons get abundant
fresh air and take a spoonful of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals, because SCOTS
Emulsion is rich blood-food that will
increase both quantity and quality of
the blood while it warns the body and
helps carry off the impurities.
When multitudes of people are to-
day taking SCOTS Emulsion to avert
winter sickness, and are giving it to
their children, it is careless to neglect
its benefits. Look out for substitutes.

USE INCUBATOR WITH CARE.
Certain Breeds of Chickens Should Be
Hatched by Hens.

Manhattan, Kan. Feb. 2S.-An in
cubator is now a necessity on Kansas
farms when certain breeds of poultry
are raised while with other varieties its
use depends upon the number of
chicks one wishes to hatch, according
to F. E. Mussehl, assistant in the
poultry husbandry department in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
Where 300 or more chicks are hatch
ed each year it is almost necessary
that an incubator be used" points out
Mr.. Mussehl when the lighter, more
active breeds are kept it is usually i'm
perative to hatch chicks in an incuba-
tor even when only 100 or NOR are
needed to renew the flock"
