Pure-Brcd Herds That Have Success

Placed on Accredited List.

One hundred and seyenty-one herds,
representing $3.50 cattle, were quail
fed June / for the accredited list of
pure-bred herds Of cattle free from tu-
berculosis which the department of ag-
ricuiture is developing to insure dis
ease-free sources of pure-bred stocks.
In order to have his herd accredited
the owner must comply with uniform
rules approved by the United States
department of agriculture and adopted
by nearly all of the states, which re-
quire that every animal pass at least
two successful annual tuberculin tests.
In addition to the number of herds
mentioned, more than 600 others have
passed one successful test In prepare
ton for accrediting. One of the many
advantages Of having accredited herds,
which is proving popular with breed
crs, Is that the owner may make inter-
state shipments accompanied by GER
tifcate at any time within one year
without subjecting the animals to fur
thor tuberculin tests.

why THEY ARE "DoUGHBoYs"
Origin of Nickname Applied to United
States Infantrymen Traced to
Mexican War.

The term "doughboy" as nickname
for the American infantryman is a
very old one, dating back to the Next
can war of 1886 In that year the
United States regular soldiers first
made acquaintanceship with the
houses of mud-colored, sun-dried
bricks that are seen everywhere, even
today, in New Mexico, Arizona and the
southern part of California.
These bricks are called by the Next
can adobes pronounced "dobies'O, a
term also applied to the small, squat,
flat-roofed houses built with them.
When the American invaders en-
tered what was then Mexican terri
tory, the infantrymen found these
dwellings-mostly deserted by their
panic-stricken nhabitants-handy as
billets, and promptly occupied them as
such. But the cavalrymen, who had
to be near their picketed horses out
on the open prairie, were unable to
avail themselves of similar accommO-
dation.
Partly in envy. and partly in good
natured chaff, these christened their
more fortunate comrades "dobie dodg-
ers," afterwards shortened to "dobies,"
a good, round-sounding nickname that
was bound to stick, and which In
course of time became corrupted into
"Ndoughboys,"

old PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy il
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, seTake for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,

and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know of
has 30 large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that so many people claim, it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric

Ladies' Shave in japan.

There are many things the Japan
csc do differently from ourselves. For
instance, ladies sit with their hands
folded palms upward in Japan. They
all shave. They never brush their
hair. but only comb 1t. For the Eng
fish "a thimbleful" the Japanese speak
of "a sparrow's tear" and instead OF
talking of putting a thing on the fire
to cook, the japanese speak of putting
the fire through it. A man never wishes
his wife good morning first-a truly
oriental touch. She greets him and he
replies. A woman never speaks of her
husband as such. She speaks of "the

and Feed Them Accordingly.

cottOnseed hulls proved to be q good
fattening ration for calves for a short
feeding period.
When fed in conjunction with cot
tonseed meal, corn silage of rather
poor quality produced the same daily
gains on calves as did cottonseed hulls
and cheapened the cost Of the daily
gains.
The substitution of two-thirds of the
cOttonseed meal in ration with corn
did not prove profitable when corn cost
20 cents bushel and cottonseed meal
500 ton.
In one test it was profitable to re-
place one-third of the cottonseed meal
with corn-and-cob meal, but in a Sec
ond test nothing was gained by the in
PRODUCTION of corn-and-cob meal. The
first year the calves which received
corn-and-cob meal made slightly larger
daily gains and sold for more than did
the calves which received cot+onseed
meal as the sole concentrate. The Sec
ond year the addition of corn to the
ration did not increase the size of the
daily gains, nor did the calves which
received corn sell for any more per
pound than the other calves.
In third test 81 high-grade Aber-
deen-Angus calves fed on a ration of
about three pounds of cottonseed meal,
two pounds Of cowpea hay and as much
cottonseed bulls as they would eat
made daily gains at cost Of $5.55 per
hundred pounds and returned a net
profit Of $3.50 each.
In a fourth experiment "a calves
which were fed for 112edays in the dry
lot and then fed 80 days on pasture
made good daily gains, but the profits
were rot as large as they would have
been IL the calves had been sold at the
end Of the winter. The gains made
during the summer were good and
were made cheaply, but the price of
calves was so much lower in the sum-
mer than at the close of winter that
the continued feeding into the summer
months was not profitable.

Nearly 10000 German prisoners

The Germans, he adds, are hurriedly
evacuating the Argonne forest. The
battle is continuing.
German troops are counterattack-
ing very heavily on the Suippe Riv-
er front in the Champagne and the
French have not been able to make
very much progress. Our arm of the
trap which is closing relentlessly on
the Germans, that operated by Gen.
Gouraud, has secured important re-
suits in the teeth of desperate resist
ance. While attacking the Suippe
line frontally, Gen. Gouraud is turning
1t by marching on Machault and Juni-
vile and has arrived close to the for
