BIG ANNUAL CROP

Five million dollars worth of Min
nesota crops can be saved this year
to help feed the country during the
period of food shortage, which is sure
to come next winter, if the farmers
of the state will treat their seed for
the smuts of wheat, oats, barley and
rye. Dr. E. C. Stakman Of the Mime
sofa experiment station, specialist In
plant pathology, says the annual loss
to Minnesota's farms through the
smuts named amounts to not less
than $5,000,000.
This is practically a preventable
loss," he said. 1T can be largely pre-
vented by disinfecting all seed with
formaldehyde. This, however, will not
prevent the loose smuts of wheat and
barley. For these smuts the hot wa!
ter treatment must be used and these
are described, in Minnesota Bulletin
1872. Information concerning them
can be had also by writing to the sec
ton of plant pathology, University
farm, st. Paul.

Announcement!

hereby announce to the public that I have the agency for
the celebrated Triple wall silos-the best silos on earth. The
ordinary silo is constructed of slaves which are put together,
and that is all. This so is made of fine slaves, then lined with
silo-felt and siding put on which makes it air tight, keeps out
cold and excessive heat. In addition to that it is anchored by
strong bars and it takes a regular tornado to blow it over. Or
binary gushes of wind which blow over ordinary silos will not
effect it in the least. The cost is very little more than other ST.
los, but you have something for your money that outlast any
thing of it's kind.
You must see it to appreciate it. See me before buying a
silo.

In old age there Is no more worry
about the babies no more suffering fol
others. The children are grown up,
and, If her part has been well done
they are a prop and n solace TO her
Grandchildren are delight without
the bitter, constant worry.
The woman grown old in years
should be at her best mentally. She Is
free to indulge her tastes. enjoy good

Women retain their vitality and splr.
lis longer than men do. The burdens
of life fall from them gradually, and
the peace Of retirement from active du.

a prominent feature of the decorations,

Miss Louise. who spent most OF her

Of the birds and their iikings. and she
knew that they are AZ strongly attract

pretty with gay tinted berries.
There was large attendance. and
no birds were turned away. no matter

English sparrows were welcomed with
the rest. although they tried to bully
the others. Even grouchy old Sir Crow
was permitted To peck a bit.
