ON GUARD

At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired. listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration Of real good health
tngling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills Of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. It is to be noticed in the
gale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water a half hour before
meals, and for vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has had such a
fine reputation for fifty years. 1t con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. 1t is
made from Golden Seal root, Blood
root, Oregon grape root, Queens root,
Black Cherry bark, extracted with gly-
cerine and made into tablets and LIQUID.
Tablets sixty cents, at most drug stores.
In order to insure pure blood and to
build up the system try this tonic
known as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Get 1t nowi

HARM FROM RODENTS
IS COUNTRYWIDE

Food-destroying rodents are
common throughout the United
States. In states west of the
Mississippi river prairie dogs,
ground squirrels, pocket gophers,
rabbits, cotton rats and field
mice have taken a continually
increasing toll from the crops
Of wheat, oats, corn, barley and
other cereals, alfalfa, potatoes,
beans, fruit, melons and almonds
and from pasture ranges. States
east of this boundary have suf-
fered heavily from the depreda-
tions of rabbits, woodchucks and
meadow pine and white-footed
mice in gardens, field and truck
crops, orchards and vineyards.
The estimate of $150,000,000 loss
to crops annually in the United
States is based upon information
regarding conditions reported by
field representatives of the bio
logical survey, United States de-
partment of agriculture, county
agricultural agents, other COM
petent officials, and farmers. 1t
does not include losses inflicted
by house mice and rats.

Without farm machines America
could not even feed herself.
Asparagus needs very rich ground.
Select good soil; choose the best the
garden affords.
Sweet clover seems destined to be-
come one of the important honey
plants of the country.
1t will be three years from the time
of planting before the asparagus plants
produce shoots fit to cut.
1t is money well spent to buy two
row cultivator because it is a useful
tool. 1t is a horse saver as well as
time saver.
In the general anxiety to produce an
extra large amount of good food for
the necessity of the war we should
not neglect the bean.
The annual manure crop of the
United States amounts to over $780,
100000. There is loss of over $780,
100000 of this amount because of the
careless handling of manure.

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs Of the human body, and when

colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges.

POISONING STOPS
LARGE CROP LOSS
Cooperation Among Farmers
and All Authorities Concerned
Is Necessary.
CAMPAIGN In NORTH DAKOTA
More Than 10000 Acres Treated in
North Dakota and Saving of ST.
100000 AccompIished-Many
Counties Organized.

Crops worth more than $150000,000
are destroyed every year by such ro-
dents as prairie dogs, ground squirrels,
pocket gophers, rabbits, field mice and
rats and woodchucks. This heavy toll
does not include loss inflicted by house
mice and rats. That the losses due to
rodents constitute an entirely unneces-
sary drain upon the productive capac-
lty Of the farms and that they may be
permanently eliminated at cost which
Is but a small fraction of the damage
Occasioned during a single year has
been proved by the extensive work al
ready accomplished in campaigns con-
Quoted by the Biological Survey of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture in cooperation with state and
county organizations.
Community cooperation will do the
work. Rodent pests have been prac-
tically eliminated from millions of
acres of valuable agricultural land in
the last four years through the coop
Grafton Of thousands of farmers. De-
scribing these campaigns federal spe-
cialists declare that the eagerness with
which farmers have availed themselves
Of the opportunity to join in concerted
movements aimed at relief from these
pests is most significant and gratify-
Ing, while the returns in increased crop
yields from the amount of labor and
money invested in the community
campaigns have exceeded all expecta-
tions. A successful fight against ro-
| dent pests requires that all local, state
and national agencies concerned be
brought into harmonious and effective
cooperation and that modern poison
Ing methods of proved efficiency be
used.
Work in North Dakota.
In the great grain-producing areas
of North Dakota there has been devel-
oped the most extensive and thorough
| ly organized campaign with a compre
hensive plan of statewide eradication
of rodent pests that has yet been at
tempted. This campaign was organ
lied under cooperative project agree
ment between the bureau of biological
survey and the states relation service
of the United States department of
agriculture and the North Dakota agri-
cultural experiment station and exten-
sion service, including the county agent
organization. The state legislature
provided revolving fund available for
use in procuring and maintaining the
required stock of poison supplies.
Many Gophers Killed.
The initial campaign was launched
against the Richardson ground sQuir-
rel, commonly known locally as
gopher" In many places poisoning
resulted in the killing of 90 per cent
of the animals on the first application.
Entire counties were organized in a
systematic voluntary warfare upon the
rodents, using the township as a con-
venient working unit. Poisoned grain

Lord Reading, the British ambassa-

ented, and his youthful appearance
got him into an amusing adventure
last week.
He had lunched at a Washington
hotel, and when his bill was brought,
he told the waiter he would have it
charged.
Endorse 1t, then, please" said the
waiter.
SO Lord Reading wrote Reading
at the foot Of the bill, and the waiter
snatched it up and hurried away.

contemptuously:

was prepared in quantity, placed in
plainly marked containers and distrib-
uted to farmers, who then applied it
according to directions around the
ground-squirre1 burrows on their
farms.
More than 100000 acres were treat
ed with poison in 1916. During the
spring of 1917 10000 farmers in North
Dakota Joined in this movement. The
ground squirrels were poisoned on
100000 acres, resulting in a practical
elimination of the pest in the areas
treated and a saving in the years crop
of more than $1,0GO,000. Including
hire of labor to distribute the poison,
the cost averages less than cents per
acre under North Dakota conditions,
and where landowners perform the la
Dor the actual cash outlay per acre is
materially reduced.
Cooperative Campaigns.
I In other states cooperative cam
paigns have been effective against
other pests, such as prairie dogs and
jack rabbits. As suggested by the cam
paigns which have already been con-
Quoted effectively, these five important
features essential to ultimate success
are named by specialists of the depart
ment of agriculture: ~ Cooperation
Of all agencies involved, including
farmers, local organizations, county,
state, and federal officials; (2) lead
ership trained and experienced in
methods of rodent control and in Or
ganization; (3) unit plan to systema-
tie activities and cover sufficiently
large territory to prevent reinfesta-
ton; (4) financial support to procure
supplies in large quantities; and ~
legal provision for the determination
of pests upon neglected areas.
