VICTIM OF RHEUMATISM
FOR 28 YEARS; RELIEVED
IN THREE TREATMENTS

the following statement:
For more than twcnty-eight years he

way, off and on. for twenty-eight years
or more. Several doctors treated me,
both here and in Lynchburg. where
formerly lived, but none of them aid
me any real good.

BUILDING ROADS IN ALASKA
Road Commissioners Find Trouble ir.
Maintenance on Account of Mar
row Tired Trucks.

Alaska has been building roads since
1908. 1t has built 920 miles of wagon
roads, 629 miles of winter sled roads
and 2,210 miles of trails. One of these
roads was built for motorcar traffic,
but more than $50 trucks and passen-
ger cars were in use over them at the
close of the last fiscal year.
Much damage has been done TO the
roads by heavy narrow-tired trucks.

them always. In addition, they found
1t necessary to build a five-mile road
along a hillside last summer by cover
Ing the road bed with willow cordu-
roy and surfacing the corduroy with
gravel because the material underlying
the location consisted of six feet of
gravel on the bed rock. forty feet of
clear ice on the gravel and two feet of

DEH0RNING CATTLE IS EASY
Operation Is Simple and Not Difficult
When Performed on Calves Four
to Ten Days Old.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Dehorning cattle is almost universal
ly practiced by stockmen who raise
bigh-grade steers. Cattle without horns
are easier to handle, have an equal
chance at the feed trough when placed
In the feed lots, are less dangerous to
attendants, and are more uniform In
appearance. Also, they cannot gore
one another In the feed lot or In tran
sit to market, which causes greater
shrinkage In weight, Injuries the skin

WAR THRIFT GARDENS

In view of the serious food situa-
ton that now confronts the country,
it is important that the home vegeta-
BILE garden be encouraged more than
ever this year as one means especial
ly for providing food locally. Trans
portation facilities that formerly were
devoted to the hauling of perishable
products are now engaged in the
movement of troops and war mater
ials. The local production of large
quantities of fresh garden vegetables
will assist i'll the solution of the trans
portation problem. In every city,
town or village there is large
amount of vacant, unused land that
could we'll be utilized for gardening
purposes and the city home vegetable
garden should be especially encourag-
ed this year. 1t is the patriotic duty
of every family to produce as much as
possible of their own food supply this
year.
In the promotion of the movement
for more gardens, and better gardens,
this year special emphasis should be
placed upon the essential food crops,
including all kinds of beans, potatoes,
carrots, beets, parsnips, tomatoes,
sweet corn and peas. Beans and peas
are of the utmost Importance, as their
use materially reduces the consump-
ton of bread and meat. Beets, es-
pecially the sugar beets, contain sugar
in addition to their succulent quail
ties. While the food value of toma-
toes is not so great as that of beans
and peas, an abundant supply should
be grown on account of their desirable
qualities as a part Of the diet and al
so on account of their suitability for
canning purposes. Sweet corn and
garden peas are valuable from q
food standpoint and should be grown
wherever space permits. Corn, peas,
and potatoes require considerable space
and are suitable to the farm garden
and the large backyard garden but
should not 'be planted in the very
small garden. The root crop, such as
carrots, parsnips, satisfy and turnips
require very little space and are es-
pecially desirable for winter use when
green foods are scarce.
We are all familiar with the fuel
situation last winter, and who knows
but that we may have a similar sit
uation as regards our food supply
next winter. A cellar filled with pota-
toes and canned goods and penty of
dried products on our shelves will
give a feeling Of security that would
be impossible if the larder were emp
ty.s

DRAINAGE DEMONSTRATION

Mr. c. B. Denman of Pennington
is doing some excellent work in tile
draining seepy hillside on his farm.
There seems to be layers of hard-pan
extending near the surface in places
along this hillside which stops the wa
ter and makes large strip of very
wet seepy land. He is running one
main tile down the center of the wet
place with laterals every 100 or $50
feet. These bitches are 2 1-2 or 8
feet deep and are still open as the tile
has not been laid yet. A steady stream
Of water is flowing in every ditch.
Mr.. Denman is having the bitches
dug by hand because the ground is
too soft to take team on it without
cutting it up badly. He says with ev-
erything done by hand that he can
buy and lay the tile for about seven
cents a foot. Digging the bitches by
hand is costing five cents foot, while
with a team and a ditch digger it
would cost about one cent a foot.
The main tile empties out into a
lane near his barn. Mr.. Denman plans
to build concrete pool here and use
it as watering place for his stock
during the winter months when most
all surface water is frozen over.

Mr.. j. w. Buck, President, st. Fran
co.'s County Farm Bureau, Farm
ington, Mo.
Dear SIR
l have been thinking of taking up
a certain matter with you for some
time, but have hesitated to do So
until it has become absolutely neces-
sary. Mr.. A. l. Foard, your County
Agent, has shown great ability in
helping us in our State organization
work and if he could give most of his
time to it he would be especially val
liable to us at this time in carrying
forward the war program. Under
any other conditions, would not ask
of you what l am going to in this let
ter, because / know that st. Francois
county deserves the best that we can
possibly give her. However, now it
seems to me that all of US should look
at this as matter that we must pur-
sue for the greatest good of the State
and Nation, and from that point of
view l am going to ask your Farm
Bureau if you will not approve trans
ferring Mr.. Foard to work as Assist
ant County Agent Leader and use Mr..
Glenn S. Hensley as your County
Agent. We are putting on a great
number Of new men and are unable to
reach them with the proper kind of
help and supervision. Mr.. Foard
would be especially helpful in this kind
of work.
Please understand that | want the
full approval and the good, will of the
st. Francois County Farm Bureau in
asking for this change.
Very truly yours,
Signed, P. II. ROSS,
County Agent Leader.
