MUSIC ROLLS QUICKLY MADE
Useful Machine Designed Especially
for the Use Of Retail Dealers
Recently Put on the Market.

Designed especially for the use Of
retail dealers, compact machine that
perforates music rolls for use In play
er pianos is being introduced. The ap-
paratus Is described in the Popular
Mechanics Magazine. 1t is capable OF
making from one to 10 records ut q
time from sheet music, and will also
turn out copies of any standard roll.
Its operation Is said to be so simple
that satisfactory work can be done by
persons who are not musicians. The
particular advantage Of the machine
seems to be that 1t enables n smafl
dealer to fill his customers orders
promptly without having to carry a
large, expensive stock. 1t also Obvi-
ates the inconvenience that confront
patrons when special orders have to
be mailed to a factory before their
wants can be supplied. Since 16 sheets
can be perforated simultaneously,
dealer in making roll to order has an
opportunity to add 10 records to his
stock with no expense other than the
bare cost Of the paper and spOols.

WINTER WORK FOR STALLION
No Reason Why He Should Not BE
Worked Like Any Other Horse
Give Reasonable Exercise.

1t Is a mistake to keep a stallion
Idle during the fall and winter.
Though this is often done there is no
reason why he should not be worked
like any other horse. II this Is not
possible he should at least be given
the opportunity of taking a reasonable
amount of exercise. Also the feed
should be about the same as that of
other horses.
Feed about one pound Of good hay
for every 100 pounds of weight and in
addition to this, give enough grain,
equal parts Of corn, bran and oats, to
keep the animal in good flesh, but not
too fat. If this be done he will be
more efficient during the breeding sea-
son than would be the case were he
kept In breeding condition all through
the year.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, Dr.. Kllmer's Prescrip-

Il is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick.

AVERAGE LABOR FOR HORSES
Horse on Grain Farm Works Three
Hours q Day-DIfferent on Diver
sified Crop Farm.

On the grain farm the heaviest work
for the horses comes in April, May,
August, September and October. The
rest Of the time there is practically
nothing for the horses to do. But
enough horses have to be kept during
the year to take care of the work dur
ing these busy months. When aver
aged up, the horse on the grain farm
only works three hours day. These
figures were secured In an investiga-
ton by the Minnesota experiment sta
ton. under the direction Of Thomas
Cooper, now director of the North Da.
kota experiment station.
In this same investigation 1t was
found that when the crops are DIVERSE
fed. the horse- labor is better dis
tributed. There Is less work for the
horses in the seasons that are the busi-
est on the all-grain farm, and there is
work for the horses when there is
no work for the horses ON the all-grain
farm.
