HAMBURGER STEAK.

The United States Department OF
Agriculture keeps up frequent analyses
of a great many different things and
some of them more or less are unex-
pected. DR.. Edwod lie Feore of the
Department made two series of in
designations of ten samples each OF
hamburger steak, obtained from diff
ferent butchers. Six samples of the
first and five of the second series
yielded counts Of over 100000 or
ganisms per gram. A gram is 1913
grains or 0.o353 of an ounce. A great
many different kinds of bacteria were
found and the conclusion was reached
that great deal of the hamburger
steak sold in the market was unfit for
human consumption.
Moral: Buy good meat and make
your own hamburger.

QUALITY OF WHEAT
CAN BE CONTROLLED
Bulletin of Colorado Experiment
Station Tells Cause of yell
low Berry and Remedy.
B.' C. P. GILLETTE, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins.)

B.' C. P. GILLETTE, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins)
Millers prefer wheat that is hard
and finty, to a wheat that is made
up of kernels that are white and
starchy in cross-section. Kernels of
the latter type are softer and more
easily crushed and are spoken of as
"soft wheat" A considerable reduc-
ton in price is often made when this
'soft" wheat is offered for sale.
DR.. w. P. Headden of the Colorado
agricultural experiment station, has
succeeded in determining the cause
of this trouble and also the remedy,
which every farmer can supply. He
tells all about it in Bulletin 205 of
the experiment station which will be
sent free to any farmer who will write
for it.
In brief, the cause of "yellow-berry"
is high percentage of potash in the
soil in proportion to the available
nitrogen. The remedy is to keep the
nitrogen content Of the soil as high
as possible without increasing the
potash. This may be done by the adj
dition of nitrates, the rotation of
crops in which alfalfa or some other
legume is used, and by proper tillage.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me n small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries In
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him TO order small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.--adv.

PREPARE HOLES FOR
YOUNG FRUIT TREES
Dynamite Is Being Used Exten-
siveIy for That Purpose and
Proving of Big Value.

If you do not want to plant fruit
trees in the fall for fear they will be
lifted by the frost, you can prepare
the holes for them during the winter,
and they will be all the better for the
action of the frost, and the moisture
and air will make available some of
the elements stored in the subsoil. Dy-
Mantle is being used extensively for
digging holes for trees and it is prov
ing of great value, there being marked
difference in the growth of the trees,
but not all soils viii admit Of this proc
ess, and it is advisable to test yours
by examining one or two holes after
blasting. If the soil is loosened and
broken up 1t is all right. but if the
charge has expended most of its force
in packing the soil firm around the
rather small hole opened up you had
better dig the holes in the old way.

100 Years Old :

"The kidneys play most important
part in causing premature old age and
death-the more injurious the poisons
passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay"-so says distinguished
physician, who further advises all people
who are past thirty to preserve the vitality
of the kidneys and free the blood from
poisonous elements, such as uric acid
drink plenty Of water--sweat some daily
and take Anuric before meals.
This Anuric is put up in tablet
form, and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, "rusty" joints,
swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid
in the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves
the uric acid as hot water does sugar.
Discovered by DIR. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y.
Prevent premature old age by simply
slipping cup of hot water every morning
before breakfast, taking little Anuric
before meals and live to be hundred.

more Live Stock. T..
Silo ...........
LESS Waste .......
(By r. D. HEBB.)

(By r. d. HEBB)
Something of what the silo means to
every farm is shown in the above
genealogical tree" The silo is one
of the greatest conservators of food
values and of land fertilities on the
farm. By its use stock Is furnished
with green roughage during the win
ter months when such feed has for
years been thought out of the ques-
ton. 1t furnishes an economical ra-
ton at a time when foodstuffs are
high.
Increased Fertility.
1t means increased fertility to the
soil because the owning of silo
means the owning of more livestock.
More feed can be stored in a given
space in the form of silage than in the
form of fodder or hay. There is less
loss of food material when a crop is
made into silage. Crops can be put
into the silo during weather which
cannot be utilized in making hay or
fodder. There is less waste; good
silage Is all consumed. The accumu-
lation of more livestock on the farm
means an increased income for the
farmer. IS
Many county agents are making de-
termined campaigns in their commune
ties for the building of silos and these
campaigns invariably result in increas-
ing the bank account of the farmer.
Succulent Feed.

means the succulence of pasture all

question of what color the walls of
