phone to various buyers, one day last
week and said that the last three
cars ordered to fill in at the last min
ute were cleaned out as quickly as
received, and these were in addition
to the numerous cars ordered early
and which were supposed to be all
the fertilizer he could need for the
season.
Many farmers are using fertilizer
broadcast, so to speak, that is they
are putting 1t in with a big drill,
aside from also using 1t in the plant
ers. Past experience tells them 1t
will pay we'll to do so in bushels of
corn and this explains the urgent be-
lated demand, and because, too, a
whole lot of corn has been planted
since the sun began beaming over the
landscape. With so many pleasant
days it is fair to presume that all
corn in this vicinity Is now in the
ground and some early planted fields
were cultivated for the first time dur
ing the past week.
Farmers are becoming more care
full and discriminating as to the use
of fertilizer. from year to year. One
concern has this slogan: Buy pounds
of plant food instead of tons of fertil-
izer." The men who use this slogan
claim, however, that their filler" also
contains valuable plant food, which,
admittedly, is not always the case by
a long shot. But we are not going
into any controversy on this sub
ject. We lay no claim to knowing a
blamed thing about the merits of va
rious fertilizers. by comparison, but
we do know that various growths need
different soil treatment, just as differ
ing soils do. This is as far as we
had travelled when we got our diplo-
ma as an agriculturist.
AS every farmer knows fertilizers
have been costing "a-plenty" and If
they are to be cheaper next fall de
ponds on wages, very largely, not only
as to the blending at the factories
where the filler Is put in, but also as
to the labor costs at the chemical
plants.

Concentrated Feed Necessary Both Winter.

says A. C. Palmer of Indiana In
Hoard's Dairyrnan.
The natural function of the COW is
first to maintain her bodily strength
and to produce merely milk enough
for her young. We have made an ar
tificial machine of this cow, and 1t Is
an unnatural function to produce milk
in large quantities.
Screen grass" says Mr.. Palmer,

body maintenance, and its appetizing
and stimulating qualities will encour-
age milk production. it is true; but
all too often the stimulating quality
reacts, and by encouraging greater
milk production when she does not re-
ceive a greater supply Of feed, her
body makes up the difference SO that
by the end of the grass season-even
a good grass season-her body is
weaker than In the spring"
Mr.. Palmer says that in 1917 he fed
his cows until June 10th and, like his
neighbors, gave them pasture alone
until September 18th. when their
steadily decreasing milk flow made
him hurry delayed feed shipments.
But in spite Of all that he could feed
them with rich concentrates, the dam.

WOMAN
SUFFERED FOR
EIGHTEEN YEARS
Mrs. Welsh Spent Twelve
Hundred Dollars Before She
Found Relief by Taking
Tanlac Gains Thirty-five
Pounds.

Eighteen years ago this spring"
said Mrs. Annie Welsh OF 1904 Anton
cite street, Peoria, Illinois, while we
were living on the farm, I lost my
health and have never seen well day
since that time until few weeks ago.
Why, If anybody had told me there
was medicine that could relieve me
of all these eighteen years suffering In
so short a time l would not have be-
lieved them. But Tanlac has done all
this for me and more, for l have gain
ed thirty-five pounds in weight on
seven bottles of the medicine.
Il was first taken with an attack Of
acute indigestion and lay right at the
point of death. The cramps and pains
in my stomach simply can't be de-
scribed, and after this spell l lost
weight and strength very fast and
soon had no health at all. / suffered
from what they call autointoxication
"a poisoned system-and took so
much strong medicine trying to get
rid of the acid that my stomach got in
an awful condition. Then / was taken
with rheumatism and had it so bad in
my arms and legs that l could hardly
stand It. Then my kidneys commenc-
ed to bother me and my back hurt me
so bad at times that would actually
scream. Many night couldn't sleep
on account of my suffering and had
become almost a confirmed invalid. l
could eat nothing much except toast,
my back was nearly killing me and /
had rheumatism SO bad I was afraid
l would lose the use of all my limbs.
Il was unable to do the least bit Of
work and while we spent all of twelve
hundred dollars for treatment and
medicines nothing ever did me any
good until a friend OF mine who had
used Tanlac persuaded me to try it.
Well, had not taken Tanlac long I'M
til l knew had at last found the right
medicine. I have taken seven bottles
now and every sign of rheumatism is
gone, my kidneys never bother me any
more and my stomach is in as good
condition as it ever was In fact / am
a perfectly well woman, enjoy as good
health as l ever did in my life, and
this seems almost too good to be true
after suffering for eighteen years as
did. Why, can do all the work, wash
ing and everything, for my family Of
nine children and feel none the worse
from it. So l have the best of reasons
for praising Tanlac and If | could
speak to every suffering person per-
sonally | would advise them to try it,

and dairymen would un-
derfeed their stock, II at all, in the
winter months when feed Is high. it is
a fact that the greater part of the un-
derfeeding is at the time when more
or less pasture is available.
''The practice is to turn the herd on
pasture about the middle of May and
then along about June the cows come
in with their sides bullying. Their
milkfow picks up. We look ut the
milk pals and the paunches of the
cows stuffed with the new grass, and

"In consequence many cows 60

Grass is but wet hay. And while
farmers have an idea that 1t is an all
sufficient feed they would consider
anyone crazy who would feed cows on
wet hay alone in the winter time .

What Standardization
Means in a Watch

1000 miles away. brought to factory by an
individual and put in some Swiss watch. Swiss
balance wheels are made in thousand diff
ferent homes by thousand different people
and carried to different factories where these
wheels are assembled in watches. And the
balance wheel governs the time of watch.
The handspring Of an American made watch
is cut from a long roll Of uniform steel of
special quality-then tempered in resilient
form by a secret process. Every spring is
a known quantity not one different from
another-and scores of tons of them are made
every year. This is scientific Standardization;
nothing hap-hazard here.
The balance wheel of an American made
watch is made of steel and brass. forged to-
gether in a single unit-an American inven-
ton. The static quality of one metal counter
acts the elasticity of the other, taking care Of
expansion and contraction. the sphericity and
weight of this important part of watch.
That is why American made watches are such
good time-keepers in any temperature.
And we could go on talking American stan
dardization-gWe you many examples
of those exclusive American inventions that
have placed America First in Matchmaking.

We hear it said that the mechanism of the
automobile is standardized. That is to say.
the vital parts or units are similar in all cars
both in function and in purpose, yet we know
them to be made differently. of varying ma
terial. design and workmanship.
Now let tell you about the standardized
watch. That is to say watch the qualities
of which are uniformity Of material and work
manship, perfection of design to which may
be added intrinsic and excellins worth not
found in any other watch made here or abroad.
There is only one watch in the world that can
claim certain, undeniable superiorities of de-
sign and material which make it different
watch in regard to its works" (Which pro-
duce time) and that watch is the American
made watch
Let US see what Standardization really means.
Suppose you own a Swiss watch. Its main
spring was bought in the open market in short
lengths of varying quality spring that was
hardened and tempered in short lengths-so,
this kind Of handspring is an uncertain guam
tity. and remember. the handspring supplies
the power of the watch.
Or, take the balance wheel Of the Swiss watch
1t was made by hand, out of steel, somewhere.
