Why Colds are Dangerous

You are often told to beware of a
cold" but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. People who
contract Pneumonia first take cold.
The longer a cold hangs on, the great
er the danger, especially from the
germ diseases, as cold prepares the
system for the reception and develop
ment of the germs of consumption,
diphtheria, scarlet fever and whoop-
ing cough. The quicker you get rid
of your cold, the less the danger of
contracting one of these diseases.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a
great reputation as cure for colds
and can be depended upon. 1t is
pleasant to take.-For sale by A. G.

which is regarded as most fair and
accurate to all concerned.

Consolidated Schools. Prof. Byer-
hoff at the Delhi Consolidated, is the
first one. to cooperate with the Farm
Bureau in establishing farm account
club, ten boys have been organized
at the institution. They will con-
duct this work at home keeping &C

credit in bookkeeping for this
work.
This is the most commendable KIM
of work that any school and especially
consolidated schools could take up.
Home credit work is beginning to be

by which we can keep the boys and

if consolidated or other schools miss
this opportunity they are not fulfil

farmers boys and girls are concern

If there is a large enough a group
of farmers in the County who would
like to receive special instruction in
regard to keeping a good record OF
farm accounts in order that they may
perform the work right, the Farm
Bureau is willing to cooperate with
them. Through the activities OF the
Extension Department at Ames, spec
ialists can be secured who will be glad
to spend a day in the county ocas-
sionally to assist in this work. There
must be at least thirty farmers who
will agree to sign up for this work
and come at times stated for the
special training. If you are interest
ed or know of some neighbor who is
interested please notify the County
Agent and as soon as enough can be
secured to start a class this work will
be taken up.
Testing Seed Corn
VIM. McCusker of Ryan has been
testing a quantity of seed corn and
he reports that the early picked corn
which is we'll cared for is growing one
hundred per cent. However, corn
which was picked during the husking
time is not showing up so strongly
even though it was we'll cared for. In
some cases as many as two dead kern
els out of six appear in the test and
i(fb la
it is not unusual to find weak corn.
This is from corn that is early matur-
ing. ...
Other farmers report that they are
beginning to test their corn. We Will
be glad to hear instances as to just
what condition the corn is in. Don't
take chances with poor seed corn this
year or any other year. Chances
are that the crop. will not be as valu-
able as in the last two years. This
fact alone should encourage one to
secure good seed. ...... {.
The County Agent has a good sup
NV of instructions on hand on how
to conduct the rag test and shall be
glad to furnish any farmers with
CODY. There are various forms of
testers for seed corn, it matters not
what kind just so you test your corn.
It might be we'll now to take number
of kernels from two or three hundred
ears and make blanket test of these
and see what proportion grows. How
ever, if a weak or dead kernel should
appear it would be best to make an
individual ear test. Don't take
