LOSS OF APPETITE
Most Successfully Treated by Taking
Hoods SarsaparilIa.

Loss Of appetite is accompanied
by loss Of vitality, which is serious.
1t is common in the spring be-
cause at this time the blood is im-
pure and impoverished and fails to
give the digestive organs what is
absolutely necessary for the proper
performance of their functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla. the old reli-
able all-the-year-round medicine, is
especially useful in the spring. Get
it from your druggist. BY purify
ing and enriching the blood and Civ
ing vitality, vigor and tone, 1t is
wonderfully successful in the treat
ment of loss of appetite and thc
other ailments that are so prevalent
Mt this time. 1t is not simply Il
spring medicine-it is much more
than that-but it is the best spring
medicine.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the
rich red blood that the stomach and
other digestive organs need. Get
it today.

The Turkey Wing.

Did you know that you can start
fire by blowing it with a turkeys wing
better than any other way ia the
world? The Indian women keep tur-
key wings for that purpose, and they
say that once upon time nearly all
the fire of the earth had gone out. and
the birds were sent to look for some
little that was left up in the mir. The
turkey found some and famed II with
its wing until there was blaze that
burnt the top Of he turkeys head and
left the bliSters that you can still see
there. 1t burnt its wings, too, and
ever after the Indian women have
used the wings for this purpose.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.

How 20 Make Rugs From Selvsaes
Otherwise Quite Useless.


Tailors first cut selvages from the
material which they use to make mems
suits. These selvageS make much bet
ter rugs than ordinary carpet rags
when woven in the usual manner
They come in long strips and require
little work in preparation for the
weaver. In place of sewing the rags
In the usual way lay the end Of the
strip Hat upon the end Of another and
sew together without doubling. Tai
Tors usually throw these selvagcs away
and would therefore give them away
or sell them for few cents. 1t Is an
easy matter TO obtain all you wish.
II you would like to make braided
rugs of these selyagcs they must be
used double Wind the balls In one
color, so that you can blend and stripe

either going on breeding with the
stunted members of the herd or OF
trying them out. The northwest
stands in danger of losing its com.
handing position as the grower OF
wheat of high milling quality unless it
can in some way retain the best of it's
1916 crop for 1917 seed purposes.
This might be done. The governor
of each Of the three northwestern
states might we'll consider the calling
in each state of a special session of
the legislature for the one specific
purpose of appropriating money with
which to buy up sufficient seed wheat
to insure the crop for 1917 and the
coming years. Such a call of the leg
islature would be justified by the
seriousness of the situation and the
appropriation of money for such pur'
poses would be fully warranted by
the experience of the past. When
North Dakota farmers were hailed out
the state provided funds with which
they could secure seed. That disas.
ter and it's future effects upon the
prosperity of the state was small as
compared to the present. When hog
cholera became menace to the bust.
ness of the northwest both North and
South Dakota and Minnesota alike
considered themselves justified in ap.
propriating funds with which to com
bat the disease. The seed wheat stu.
alton may easily prove to be as bad as
the hog cholera situation ever was
F., S. & H. is not suggesting that the
farmers be handed" anything. All
proper provision should be taken to
safeguard the state. The individual
farmer does not need assistance in
the ordinary sense Of the word; he is
not asking for assistance, but unless
the power of the state intervenes, the
grain of seed quality which farmer A
has grown, which farmers D, e and
ought to use next spring for seed
will 60 by way of the elevators to the
mills and the loss will only become
apparent In future years. In such a
crisis where the individual interest is
not able to act in a way big enough
to protect the situation and where the
interests of all are ultimately concern
ed, there is no other power short Of
the state that can grapple successfully
with the situation. F., s. & H. re
specially suggests to the governors
of the states named both the gravity
of the situation and the advisability Of
taking steps looking toward prompt
legislative action in behalf of the
grain growing interests of the north
west.

THE SEED GRAIN CRISIS

Farm, Stock and Home: Where is
the seed wheat for 1917 coming from?
Does anybody know? Has anybody
stopped to figure it out? If the read
er is we'll supplied he probably thinks
others in the state are. If he is not,
he probably thinks that somehow he
can get seed next spring. In both
cases the probabilities are that he
is wrong.
Now here is the situation as it is
veloping-further data may change
these figures somewhat, but they are
authoritative to date. Sept. III, in
elusive, the Minnesota grain inspec-
ton department, which passes on all
grain coraing to the markets of the
twin cities and Duluth, reported $40
cars of spring wheat grading No. 3
and below and gil cars of No. 2 quail
ity and better; these gil cars grading
as follows: Four hundreds and forty.
six No. Northern, 1913 No. 1 North.
ern and 81 No. Hard. At the other
end of the line 1926 cars graded No.
4 Northern. Well mixed samples
show that wheat grading more than
No. 2 Northern is badly shrunken and
is not desirable for seed purposes.
This would indicate that probably 80
per cent of the spring wheat crop of
the three states is out of the seed
wheat class and that only about one
bushel in five is desirable for seed
purposes.
But this is not all of the story. The
millers need this high-grade wheat in
order to make -four of the right grade
and color, consequently they are bid
ding for it in the markets and buying
as fast as they can. During the period
mentioned 147 cars of western wheat
and 1854 cars of winter wheat passed
Minnesota inspection. There has been
some movement of Canadian wheat to
the twin city markets, overriding the
ten.cent tariff, and there is some talk
of the possibility of bringing in Ar
gentine wheat to stabilize the quality.
The point to get clear in mind is
the fact that on present indications
there is not nearly enough high.grade
wheat to fill the trade requirements
and to provide seed for next years
acreage. If the usual spring wheat
acreage is sown in 1917, not less than
100000 bushels will be required for
the three northwestern states. TAX.
ing the F., S. & H estimate tissue of
Sept. IS, page 639) of an 10000, 00O-
bushel crop for the three states as
the basis of computation, and figuring
20 per cent of this crop of seed quail
ity, we come 100000 bushels short of
producing enough good wheat in the
three states to give us our seed for
next year. This is assuming that the
farmers are able to hold back for seed
purposes everything that grades No.
2 and better. That they cannot hold
it back is shown by grain receipt fig.
ures as furnished by the railway and
warehouse commission.
What will be the effect Of seeding
low.grade wheat next spring? What
will be the effect Of importing seed
wheat from other localities?
To both of these questions the ans.
wer may be given that the wheat
grower will be in the position of the
man who has bred a fine line of stock
for many years and has the choice Of
