Ten Per Cent. For The Insects

The South Dakota Agricultural col
lege estimates that insects injure the
crops of that state to the extent Of
ten per cent every year. Probably the
figure will stand as a conservative
general average. In other words you
work nine days for yourself and one
day for the bugs. You spend between
thirty-five and forty days a year work
ing for the insects, and the rest of the,
time for yourself.
II any community would spend half
this wasted time studying insects and
their control the conservatives
would say it had gone crazy, but would
it no be worth while? Once mastered,
the insects would give less trouble
forever Not all insect pests can be
fully controlled, but the remedies for
most of their ravages have been work
ed out pretty well, and time spent iii
in reducing the insect damage year by
year. The time to study insects and
their control is in youth, though no
farmer is too old to take up the thing
that takes ten per cent toll on his
life work, nor half that. We rightfully
object to ten per cent interest on
loans. But the insect rate is higher
for it is levied on all our crops. If we
only thought so we might very largely
avoid this loss.
Too Much Preparatory Work.
Brains are more important in farm
ing than they ever were before, and
the man who does not think it impor-
tant to spend part of each day in the
training and using his mind is going
to do lot of work providing food for
bugs, the germs and the dead-beat

hens and cows.
Formerly the business Of raising the
flock was left in charge of the hens.
They selected their mates, their nests
and their feed, and took big chance
on high percentage Of loss-which
is Natures way. Now the hen on the
profit-producing farm has no respon-
sibllity other than laying eggs, and
she must be watched to be sure that
she is on the job. Machinery and
science have denoted the hen from
manager to a mere cog in the wheel of
production.
The same thing is true in the pro
duction of any other farm crop. Con
sequently more time and thought are
needed on the part of the farmer, since
he has superseded Nature as the man
ager of the job. Yesterday the farm
err who spent daylight in reading or in
studying the problems of his farm was
supposed to be a waster Now the
man whose energy goes out through
his muscles alone, is not making the
best record at the bank or the county
fair. He hasn't left any fuel to run
his thinking machinery
There is such a thing as too much
perspiration work.

Now as to the proper feeding Of the
baby mother should be most careful.
Its delicate digestive organs should be
carefully watched and understood, for
every infant has a separate and dis
tinct anatomy; and, in order to know
just what constitutes the proper
for different babies, we
must know just how much strength
and digestive ability that particular
infant possesses. What would be too
strong for the digestive organs of one
might be too weak for another, and
vice versa.
A mother should nurse her baby,
but when this can not be done the best
and safest plan is to employ healthy
wet-nurse, and if that can not be done,
the next best thing is to have repu-

nary Med, State Col. OF Agr)
During warm weather frequent wa
tering of work animals is necessary
Horses and mules should be watered
before feeding and again after feed
ing. They should be watered during
the forenoon and during the afternoon.
If water is not accessible in or near
the field it will pay TO haul barrel
of water to the field or to unhitch in
the middle of the forenoon and after
noon and take the animals to water
Many cases of exhaustion in the
field or on the road are due to thirst
Many cases of collie and Indigestion
come of drinking too much water when
very thirsty.
The small size of the stomach of
the horse and mule Capacity three to
four gallons) makes drinking large
quantity of water soon after feeding
dangerous, as it interferes with nor
NAL processes of digestion Taking too
much water when overheated is one
of the common causes of founder or
laminitis.
Proper care concerning this matter
will pay good dividends on time and
labor invested.

AUTO-lNTOxlcATION is FOUNDA-
TioN OF MOST DISEASES AND
ILL HEALTH, SAYS NOTED AU-
THORITY.

Advanced medical authorities assert
that auto-intoxication is the founda-
ton of most of the ills and diseases
to which the human flesh is heir.
"This condition." says L. T. Cooper,
who has made an exhaustive study of
the subject, lis nothing more nor less
than the slow self-poisoning of the vi
tai organs produced by the excessive
mental and physical strain we are
forced to endure, which renders the
organs lame and inactive and permits
toxins-actual poisons-to be general
ed within ones own body.
Sometimes the trouble starts in the
liver and kidneys, and sometimes it
starts in the stomach, or elsewhere,
but III any case the blame lies with
the faulty method OF living which has
become so prevalent of recent years,
and it is the more important organs
that suffer the final damage AS when
they falter or fail in their duties the
hCdy fills up with poison and the vic
tim readily yields to their baneful in
fluences. Bright's disease, stomach
and intestinal troubles, catarrhal affec-
lions of the mucous membranes; in
fact, may he call administration or
self-poisoning.

Tanlac, the powerful reconstructive

Cooper's theory that the Tanlac treat
ment is the direct remedy therefor
There is not single portion of the
body that is not benefited by the
healthful work of this celebrated
preparation, which begins it's action
by stimulating the digestive and as
organs, thereby enriching
the blood and invigorating the entire

ey EMORY r. PARKS, M. D.

General misunderstanding prevails as
to the cause of sickness in teething
babies. Often we hear the expression
from a mother: my baby isn't well,
it is teething" just as if it were per-
fectly natural and normal condition for
baby to be sick while cutting few
teeth. 1t must be admitted that ba-
bies are very often sick during the
process of teething, but why this? 1t
is not because it is the natural thing
for it to be sick, but simply because
it is the natural thing for a proud
mother to think, when she sees the
first tooth peep through the gum, that
the baby may now be given solid food
in order to make use of its new pos
session.
Just because a baby has few ivory
points showing above the gums is no
reason for a sudden change in its
nourishment While this perceptible
change has taken place in its mouth,
there has been no material change in
lis delicate digestive organs. There
fore, upon giving it solid food instead
of liquids as heretofore its stomach is
taxed as never before, and in order to
perform the new task thrust upon it
the whole system becomes upset. 1t
naturally follows that there will be
bowel troubles which the child has
never experienced before, Let me re-
peat that this is caused by ambitious
mothers, and not as matter of course
since baby is teething. In cutting our
wisdom teeth we older people know
that the sensation caused by our teeth
ing was only a little itching and sore

tees Courts. with over 20 additional
courts OF 1918, and S57,S1511 for the
same period of 1914. Fees were paid
justices and constables In 1914 and
salaries in 1915. which greatly in
creased the cost OF counties. The fees
returned to the counties have run far
short Of making up the difference IN
cost caused by the change from fees
to salaries.
The increased tax rates in many Of
the counties are not justified by the
first six months cost OF county gov
eminent. In many tho loas of reve-
nue from liquor licenses will be more
than made up at the end OF the year
In some counties there was antagon-
ism to prohibition, and that. together
with the apparent disposition to In
crease rates In 1915 in order to COL
lect enough money from taxpayers to
tide over decreases to be made next
year when campaigns are on for coun-
charging prohibition with all the in
creased rates OF 1915.
The final summing up shows that
general conditions have improved i'm
mensely throughout the state during
this brief period OF six months, and
under conditions following tho sudden
wiping out of 444 saloons and whole
sale houses handling liquor. The last
six months will show a greater i'm
provement II the same conditions pre-
vail. But II people are allowed to ship
liquor into the State for their personal
use we shall soon return to the old
conditions greatly aggravated by
bootlegging and blind pigs. The bars
will be dropped once more. and we
will step back to worse conditions than
bs lore.
