ton 70 Tools and Implements
for Next Season.

During the winter months farmers

The Heart Is Very Busy.

Your heart is very busy organ
While you breathe once, it beats four
times, says Popular Science Monthly.
At each beat it sends four pounds Of
blood through your veins and arteries.
The weight of the circulating blood is
90 pounds. When you run, your legs
and the other parts of your body
need more blood, so your heart must
pump faster.

CLEANING GRAIN OF BENEFIT
Farmer Could Not Only Demand Top
Prices, but Would ALSO Obtain
Screenings for Feed.

Government Investigators declare
that the producer of high-quality grain
often receives less than 1t is worth in
order that the buyer may pay an equal
price to the grower of grain of inferior
quality. If the farmer would clean his
grain he could not only demand top
prices. but would thereby obtain
screenings worth $40 to s25 a ton for
feed. The specialists believe that
farmers who deliver grain of inferior
quality should not expect to receive a
price equal to that paid for high-qual-
ity grain.

Effective ShAIls

Controversy has long ragged regard
ing the actual man-killing power Of the
big guns. 1t has been declared that
10000 worth of big shells must be
fred to kill one Of the enemy. Per
haps 1t is true that an enormous
amount of steel must be hurled by the
big guns to insure fatalities. Yet the
actual number of men killed on ali
sides by artillery fire probably runs In
to the millions.
