CARE ATsTHRESHING TIME
WILL SAVE MUCH GRAIN

| The loss of grain in the harvesting,
shocking, stacking and threshing OF
wheat is estimated at from to 10 per
cent. At least two-thirds of this loss
can probably be prevented by careful
handling in the opinion of =. B. Bias
Isett, head of the grain threshing divi-
sion Of the federal food administration
Tor Minnesota. On the basis of last
years yield this would be more than a
million bushels, worth more than two
million dollars. This does not include
the waste which occurs in the handling
OF barley, oats, flax and other small
grain crops. $780,. <..
Mr.. Bassett is organizing each coun-
ty in the state to help i'm the work of
prevention. The county food admin
istrator, the county agricultural agent
and a practical thresherman selected
by them make up the county board
through which the local work is car
ried on.

Strand Ferslund Nuptials.

On Monday afternoon, July 10Th, at

son at Warren, occurred very quietly
the marriage of Hilda Ottine Strand to
Paul Walfred Forslund The ceremony

While Mr.. and Mrs. Aug. I. Bystrom

esteem by a large circle of friends.
The groom has his parental home at
Upsala, this state, but has for the last

PRICE OF CREAM DEPENDS
ON QUALITY AND AMOUNT

Reports for May from forty seven CO.
operative creameries scattered over the
state show the price paid for butterfat
to be as follows: Four paid 50 cents a
pound, six paid so cents, two paid ~
cents, seven paid 4S cents, eleven paid
Al cents, two paid 46 cents, four paid
45 cents, four paid 80 cents, two paid
43 cents, three paid ~ cents, one paid
fl cents, and one paid 80 cents.
The price Of butter (extrasy on the
New York market averaged IS cents.
OF the cooperative creameries from
which reports were received, thirty-s six
paid 45 cents and more. Cooperative
creameries that paid low price were
chiefly handicapped with too small a
business. The creamery that paid Al
cents received but 4,1l2 pounds of fat
for the month and the one that paid 80
cents received only 1900 pounds. This
was probably the smallest business of
any cooperative creamery in the state
Those that paid from 4S to 50 cents re-
ceived from $4,000 to $1,000 pounds.
A small business and cream of poor
quality-cream that is kept too long on
| the farm and is poorly cared for-are
the two chief obstacles to high prices.
Cooperative creameries that have to
| contend with these are kept on level
! with the cream buying stations. Sue
cessful cooperative creameries COM
monty pay from to 10 cents more.
There are few locations in Minnesota
where it is not possible to have sue
cessful cooperative creamery.-A. J.

HARVESTING HINTS
Let Grain Get Ripe.

Grain cut too green is hard to thresh.
the chaff sticks close to the kernel. the
straw is tough and heavy. more power
is needed, and, especially in the case of
oats. some Of the kernels are likely to
be lighter and to blow over into the
straw when threshed.
Grain cut when green is hard on the
binder, especially when wet with dew.
1t is heavy to shock. does not cure so
readily and is likely to mold unless the
shocks are opened. This requires
labor, which is both expensive and hard
to get.
Barley and bluestem wheat will
thresh easier and with less waste when
cut green than any other grain. Leave
marquis wheat until it is dead ripe and
dry 1t is very hard to thresh and if
cut green the thresherman should not
be blamed if he fails to get all the
grain out Of the straw. It will not
shell and the only possible loss is the
risk Of a hail or wind storm.
Cut Straw High.
Unless you have use for all the
straw, cut the grain as high as possible
and have straw to make good bundles.
Excessive straw makes extra work in
handling and costs more to shock, stack
and thresh. Leave the excess straw on
the ground for fertilizer It is almost
as good as manure
Make Bundles Uniform.

crate, uniform bundle. Large bundles
are hard on the binder, hard to shock.
stack, pitch and thresh. and hard to
cure. If they contain many weeds.
they are likely to mold in, the center
and cause loss Of grain. On the other
hand very small bundles require more
twine, are not easy to handle and do
not hold together so well. Adjust the
binder to make an even-sized. we'll
formed bundle. The bundler should be
made to tie perfectly. There is a small
amount of waste with every loose bun
die. See that the binder head is in the
proper position and the butter properly
adjusted so that the bundles are well
made and the band properly placed
| It is true that almost any one can
drive binder, but it requires a keen,
wide-awake, intelligent operator to
manipulate a binder so as to save all
the grain and make good smooth,
| straight bundles Unless careful at
| tention is given to this part of the har-
vesting, it is easy to lose an amount of
grain equal to the seed.
| Clean Up the Corners.
| Do not trample down the corners of
the field. Many bushels of grain are
| lost annually by careless driving
around the corners. If you can not cut
the corners clean the first time around
outside of the field, cut them later
When possible NOW a smath around
the edge Of the field before starting to
cut; this leaves a good clean border.
Save Lodged Grain. ....
IF part of the field is lodged, cut
one way if necessary. 1t might be well
to get a set Of grain-saving guards to
assist in picking up the down grain.
This can be procured through your
local dealer at small COST. B. Bas-

MEAT CAUSE OF
 KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a glass of Salts if your Back hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat forms
 uric acid.

If you must have your meat every day, eat 1t, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost para lyzes the kidneys In their efforts to expel 1t from the blood. They be- come sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with dull misery in the kid ney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather Is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night,
 To neutraliEe these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer irritates, thus ending blad- der weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensivei cannot in- iure, and makes a delightful efferves- cent lithia-water drink.-Adv.
