Cottage chess. Days at Markets.

Through the efforts OF home de
rnonstration agents, special cottage
cheese days have been established
at curb markets in several cities in
Virginia. The rountry women
make up special lots of cottage
cheese for these days and the city
women know that they will be able
to buy freshly made product at
that time. In Fayetteville, Ark, a
grocer advertises regular market
day as Cottage Cheese Day. Farm
women who have received instruc-
tion from the home demonstration
agent provide him with good pro-
duet for his customers.

Federal Government Has
Worked Out Plan.
PRovISIoNs TOO RIGID FOR
MOST FARMERS IN NEED
Owing to This Fact It l. Predicted
Applications in Colorado Will
Be Few Until Plans Are Modified.
Considerably.

For the purpose to extending aid
to FARMERS who have lost two con
secutive fall gram crops through
drought or similar natural causes,
the president has appropriated the
sum Of $5,OOO,OOO to be loaned to
such farmers to enable them to pur-
chase seed for this falls planting.
Loans will be made on the basis OF
So per acre for not more than 100
acres for one farmer, but in each
case the farmer must be able to
prove the loss of two consecutive
fall grain crops and that he has no
security or credit upon which he
can borrow $500. He must also
show that his land is well suited
to fall wheat or a substitute fall
grain crop, and that ne has the ma
chinery, stock ETC., necessary to the
production of crop.
The procedure is as follows:
Application blanks may be Sc
cured at the local bank and should
be filled out and left with the
banker. The county agent of that
county Tor the nearest agricultural
agent If there is none in, the county,
will inspect the application and in
vestigate it's truth and the stand
ing of the applicant. If the loan
is approved the representative of the
department. of agriculture at Wichi-
ia, Kansas. will be notified and if
he approves it he will issue certi-
flcate stating that upon proof that
the crop has been properly planted
the money will be Forthcoming. 1t
is expected that the local bank will
carry the loan between the time
the seed is needed and the time
when it is planted and the goven-
ment money is available.
At the time of proving proper
planting the farmer will make a
mote and chattel mortgage, matur-
ing October l, 1919, and bearing in
terest at per cent, and will exc.
cute Guaranty Fund agreement
providing that he will pay also Is
cents per acre planted for every
bushel by which the average yield
of the crop exceeds six bushels per
acre, with a maximum contribution
fo IS cents per acre to the fund.
In the opinion of the Commits
sioner Of the Colorado State Board
Of immigration, who represented
this state at the conference in Wi.
chita last week, there will be few
applications for loans in Colorado,
as the limitations are such that
there are not many farmers who are
qualified to participate in the loan

Nine per cent fewer eggs were in

DAISY FLY KILLER place,
BIG DEMAND FOR MAHOGANY
Name Commercially Is Applied to
More Than Fifty Woods-SIb-
stirutes are Numerous.

The name "mahOgany' is applied
commercially to more than % different
woods. says Popular Science Monthly.
Perhaps half the lumber now sold un-
der that name is not true mahogany,
for the demand greatly exceeds the
supply.
The tree is only native TO the limited
area between southern Florida ana
northern South America. Nowhere else
does II really flourish. But the puhiic
will have mahogany. Women want 1t
for furniture, business men prefer II
for office fixtures, and teak ana ma
hogany are rivals IN the affections ol
shipbuilders. Therefore substitutes
flourish.
II is not surprising that the real
wood is so expensive when il is learned
that it takes from one hundred to
one hundred and fifty years for a ma
hogany tree 20 reach mcrchantable
| size.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy Is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reii-
ability. accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making OF this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season Of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUD-
stances are at their best. :,
The most successful solvents are useo

these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes IN
contact with the medicine is steriized
and as a final pYecaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile hotties. .
It is the wonderful combination OF
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment OF
female ills.
