VALUE OF INsEcTIcIDE ACT
Farmers Have Peen Saved Money by
Prevention Of Sale Of WORTH
less Preparations.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Both the farmer and the manufac-
turer have been benefited by the en-
forcement Of the insecticide act Of
1910.
Farmers have been supplied with in
secticides and fungicides that will do
what is claimed for them; and have
been saved money by prevention Of
the sale Of worthless, low grade, and
short-weight preparations, and by pre-
vention Of crop or livestock losses
through use Of worthless insecticides
or fungicides.
The legitimate manufacturer has
been protected against the illegitimate
manufacturer; confidence in insecti-
cides and fungicides has been created
among farmers and stock raisers, and
sales have increased; valuable infor-
nation regarding the manufacture and
efficacy of insecticides and fungicides
has been given to the manufacturer,
enabling him to prepare good prepara-
lions and truthful labels.

SOMETHING HE WON'T FORGET
Soldiers FooIishness In Using His
Mask Bag for Mail Pouch Nearly
Cost Him His Life.

Don't carry anything in your gas
mask bag that doesn't belong there.
That isn't general order, but the
fruit of at least one mans experience.
He had gone over the top on pa
troll. Somebody smelled gas; on went
the masks. He bit into it, clamped his
nose on tight, and started to breathe.
That is, he tried to. For several ago
nizing minutes he struggled to get wind
through it, and then he found it was
false alarm.
Thanking his stars that it hadn't
been real attack to be endured with
q safety appliance that was as dam
gerous as the German pizen itself, he
went to his lieutenant at the first OPP
portunity and told him that the thing
didn't work.
The lieutenant looked at 1t.
whats this?" he asked.
From the slot at the base Of the
respirator he drew a postcard that had
stuck there.
"Now try It," he said.
It worked. That man isn't using his
mask bag as mail pouch any more.

INTERRUPTED Lesson.

An ancient French schoolhouse, de-
serted in the flight of the villagers,
was taken over by the Americans as
part Of the headquarters of field
ambulance. The interrupted lesson
could be read upon the bulletin board
by the Yankee wounded, carried
through, and Daudet among them
could have woven masterpiece from
it. The moral that the teacher was
intoxicating when he held his "derniere
class" was this:
1.-THE free man obeys his conscience
and the laws of his country"
And the phrase set before the pu-
pills for their composition exercise that
day-the date was written on the
board, 90 Mai, 1918-was:
'Un jour de grand vent"
They might have written it: "The
day of the big wind."-Stars and

Get New Kidneys /!

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of fltering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One Of the first warnings is pain OF stiff
colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges-
ton; irritation, or even stone in the .blad-
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease. for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal Haarlem Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad-
der troubles. A delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous. prep
aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
It is the pure, original HARLEM Oil your
great-grandmother used. About two cap
sules each day will keep you toned up and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store, and
if it does not give you almost immediate
relief, your money will be refunded. Be
sure you get the GOLD MEDAL brand.
None other genuine. In boxes. three
sizes.-Adv.

Harvesting selected from The Best PIat

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Do not wait until planting time next
spring to select your seed potatoes. Do
not even wait until harvest time this
fall. Begin now by making study Of
the plants. This is the plan that
should be followed by potato growers
who want to have seed that will pro-
duce the highest yields. Potato grow
ers should have a seed plat, which may
or may not be part of the main crop,
and from the best-growing, disease-re-
sistant plants in this plat, which pro-
duce high yields Of marketable-sized
potatoes, select their seed for the fol-
lowing year. An area Of one-tenth or
one-fifteenth of the entire acreage will
usually provide sufficient seed for the
following seasons planting.
While it is an advantage to start the
seed plat with selected material the
work may be begun during the grow
ing season with any good stock Of
promising quality planted in suitable
soil and properly cared for. The best
portion Of the field therefore should be
selected for the seed plat. It should
be well drained, frequently cultivated
and thoroughly sprayed.
Inspect Seed Plat.
Several times during the growing
season the seed plat should be inspect
ed. All weak, degenerate and diseased
hills and those showing varietal mix
lures should be pulled, SO that only
the progeny of healthy hills Of the
correct variety will remain at harvest

ADVANTAGES OF vETcH

prepared by the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture.)
Vetches are gaining In favor
in many parts Of the United
States. for they make excellent
feed either green or as hay, and
are exceedingly useful as COW
er or green manure crops. In
some respects, particularly their
use, they are similar to COM
mon red clover, but have the ad-
vantage Of this crop in that they
grow in certain soils and cli-
mates where clover does not
thrive. About 20 wild kinds oc-
cur in this country and are COM
monty known as wild peas. Only
two kinds, namely the common
vetch and hairy vetch, are very
extensively grown, but other
species are likely to become of
increasing Importance.

KEEP FARM MACHINERY BUSY
Lazy Binder Works only Forty Days
In Eleven Years "\vork.or-Fight'
Policy Applicable.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The work-or-fght policy should be
applied to farm machinery as well as
to men. Though machines cannot fight
they can be put to work on many occa-
sions instead Of standing idle in the
barn lot. Most farm machines and i'm
PIGMENTS are capable of doing much
more work than they usually do, and
the more they are used the less man
labor will be required on the farm.
Three men with corn binder, one OPP
Grating the machine and two gathering
and shocking the bundles, will cut from
seven to ten acres day, while four or
five acres would be fair days work
for the same three men cutting corn by
hand.
The average corn binder lasts about
eleven years, but during that time does
only about forty days actual work.
There is no doubt that 1t could render
several times this much service before
wearing out If there were more work
to do. There seems to be very little
relation between the amount of work
done annually by corn binder and
the years Of service.
The bulletin refers to a survey con-
Quoted in New York state which show
ed that the more the corn binder could
be used each year the less the cost of
cutting the corn when the cost Of using
the binder was taken into considera-
ton. Two hundred and thirty-three of
the 458 binders on which data were OBJ
tanned, cut is acres or less annually at
a cost Of $9.78 per day used and $1.67
per acre. The remaining 225 cut
over Is acres annually, averaging 3251s
acres, at a cost Of 1924 per day of
service and 81 cents per acre. The orig
inal cost Of one of these binders was
about $125. Thus If there is only one
or two days work for the binder to do
each year, the cost of cutting the corn
with 1t will be so great that its use will
not be advisable unless it is impossible
to cut the corn by other methods with
out seriously neglecting other work. If
this is the case, the bulletin recon-
mends that two or three neighbors,
each Of whom has only small crop,
combine in the purchae and operation
of q corn binder. The first investment
required of each and the machinery
cost per acre will then be greatly re-
duced. This plan should not only APP
ply to corn binders, but to other la
bor-saving machinery.
