A Welshman sued follow

owing to him, but though the
debtor repeatedly offered to work
off the debt, this did not appeal
at all to the creditor.
Finally the judge asked the
plaintiff why he was so unwilling
to accept the debtors offer to
work off the debt.

But the Essex does bring quality and
performance to a class field that was
unknown.
The former owners of large costly cars
that have adopted the Essex have not
been Hudson users. They have come
from other cars, cars that fall short of
the Super-Six in all particulars save size
and cost.
The Essex appeals to such users be-
cause Of it's Dimbleness. They like the
way it's performance compares with that
of the Super-Six. You can see this on
every hand The two cars in any commu-
nifty that are most prominent because of
their performance ability are the Hudson
Super-Six and the Essex.

Essex Did Not Need
Hudson's Endorsement.

Think of the advantages Essex has had.
What ordinarily would have required
years to perfect was made possible in the
very first model.
That is why 10000 are now running,
why more than $30,O0O000.0O was paid
for Essex cars in ten months.
You have not needed the Hudson en-
dorsement to understand Essex perform

Essex has won it's own way. Hudson
gave it full benefit of the experience of it's
engineers and the ability of it's manufac.

reason the dairy barn is far more
important than any other building on

Cattle Are Usually the Ones
First Affected.

Following investigations of a live
stock ailment commonly known as ''al-
kali disease" or milk sickness" the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has found the rayleSs gOldenrOd
to be the probable cause. Experimental
work with this plant produced symp-
toms corresponding to those character
istic of this disease. Investigations
by the department included regions in
New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona where
'alkali disease" has caused many
fatalities among domestic animals.

bOtanists as IsocOma wrightii; in Ari-

DR.. c. d. Marsh, poisonous plants

of work horses and stock horses have
died in the regions mentioned from in

goldenrod. Horses frequently died in
from one to three days after show

symptoms similar to those of cattle

burros are poisoned by the same plant.
The rayless goldenrod is stout

about . feet high, though under
favorable circumstances it may reach
height of 4 feet or more. The heads
are numerous and have yellow flow

the feasibility of Graduating it from
pastures. When dug out to a depth
of 2 or inches it seldom reappears;
this plan of eradication is practicable
where the growth is not too extensive.
Where plants are too numerous to be
dug, reliance must be placed in NOV
ing the animals so that they can get
no more of the poison and may receive
an abundance of good feed.

Loading MIX for Shipment.
Where milk is shipped by train or
trolley. loading stations are usually
provided. Sometimes these are mere
platforms, but often a track is con-
structed at right angles to the railway
with a platform that can be rolled
out TO the roadside and then pushed
close to the car to expedite loading
the train. Where milk is to be left
for any length of time, these plat
forms should be covered to keep out

When the milk Is on the train the
farmers part of the distribution
stops. but his interest Is not ended,
for if the milk is sOured at the other
end of the route or if the health de-
partment test shows an excessive
bacteria count due to improper meth

may be 81 reaction that will reduce

The production and marketing of
milk is eXacting and requires a
knowledge of modern methods. Sue
cess depends on factors once un-
thought of, and the farmer who meets
these eXactiOns is nearer to making
successful settlements with the dis
tributing companies than the one who
lets things slide.
