SHEEP REQUIRE PURE WATER
Regular Daily Supply Is Important in
Winter as Well as Summer for
Best Results.

Some farmers seem to think that
sheep do not need water and will do
Just as well without it. Although not
heavy drinkers, sheep certainly need
a regular daily supply of, water in
winter as well as in summer. 1t they
cannot get clean water they will find
dirty water, or in winter, will eat
snow.
Experienced sheep men see to 1t
that water for sheep is always and
easily accessible. The best Of feed
ing with hay and grain is useless with
out water. The body suffers without
water, the appetite is lessened and
poor, run down animal is the result.
Besides water, the sheep need salt.
All these things are necessary to keep
sheep in good condition.

SYSTEMS OF FEEDING FOWLS
Danger of Bowel Trouble Lessened
Where "Dry" Plan Is Used
Also Saves Labor.

There are two systems in use for
the feeding of fowls, in one of which
all tire feed is given dry and in the
other of which one or more of the
daily feeds consists of q moistened
mash. For convenience they may be
termed the "dry-feed" and the "mash"
systems, although in the dry-feed sys-
TEN a dry mash is often fed. Dry
feeding is used by many where 1t Is
not convenient to make and feed q
mash. The greatest advan-
tages to be derived from the dry sys-
tenn are the saving of labor and the
lessened danger of bowel trouble re-
sulting from sloppy or soured mashes.

MARKET ASSOCIATION
PAYS LARGE PROFITS
Pinto Bean Growers of New Mex.
leo Making Money.
Form Organization, Eliminating Local
Buyers Who Were Rapidly
Destroying Industry Through
Careless Packing.

"The pinto bean growers of this
state have earned $4,000 In additional
profits from their 1919 crop through
their cooperative marketing associa-
ton initiated by specialists of the
bureau Of markets, United States de-
partment of agriculture" was the
recent statement made by New Mex
leo pinto bean grower.
Before the association was formed
the beans were purchased by local
buyers who practically controlled the
market and therefore paid almost any
price they chose. These buyers were
rapidly destroying the possibilities
that offered in the marketing of pinto
beans through the lack Of care In
grading and packing. Choice re-
cleaned pinto beans was technical
trade name that came to mean moth
ing, for the beans often contained
splits and dirt, as a result of which
the trade could not depend upon the
quality Of the product.
Now the farmers do their own
marketing through the association.
Sixteen warehouses, properly equipped
with grading and packing machinery.
have been erected. The beans are
carefully graded and then packed In
new, overweight 1O0pound bags,
which are neatly sewed and branded.
The association demands clean cars
from the railroad, and In loading the
sewed ends of the sacks face one way.
The association believes in the bureau

a buyer throws open the door Of a car

has 1900 members and marketed 25O

stantly calling on the bureau OF

PROPER TIME TO CUT WHEAT
When Straw Has Lost Nearly All of
Green Color and Grains Are
Not Entirely Hard.

Wheat may be cut with safety when
the straw has lost nearly all it's green
color and the grains are not entirely
hardened. If cut sooner than this
shriveled kernels will result. If left
standing until fully ripe bleached
appearance, due to the action of the
elements, often results, and loss from
shattering may ensue. Wheat that is
fully ripe is also more difficult to
handle. Where the area of wheat is
large, cutting should begin as early
as it can be done safely.-Farmers'

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
