An Old Swindle.

Bloomington Record: Several of
our citizens have lately received one
of the famous Letters from Spain"
asking that large sum of money be
cabled to the writer, in return for
which he will '1et them in" on the
division of fortune which he says
he has secreted but which he cannot
procure until he is released from
prison-for which purpose the mon
ey asked for is to be used. This is
one of the Oldest swindles in exist
ence, and the postoffice department
issued a fraud order against it many
years ago, which is the reason the
writer asks to have the money sent
by cable. We are confident there is
no one in this vicinity gullible
enough to attach any seriousness to
the appeal.

ALFALFA CROP OF MANY USES
Leads as Forage; Unsurpassed as
Hay; Has High Carrying
Capacity as Pasture.

No forage crop cultivated in the
United States is used successfully in
so many ways as alfalfa. 1t is more
nearly a perfect forage than any other
crop grown in this country. 1t is un-
surpassed as hay for general feeding
and has a high carrying capacity as
pasture With proper handling good
results can be obtained with it as a
soiling crop. 1t makes excellent
silage and when ground into meal is
a good and easily handled feed. AL
falfa is so highly regarded as forage
that some persons have attempted to
create a demand for it as human food.
Enthusiasts have tried to show that
it has medicinal value. However, it
cannot compete as food with other
staple crops and, so far as known. it
has no special medicinal properties.
Alfalfa is not only valuable as a
forage crop, but also as soil inl-
proven. 1t is not well adapted to
short rotations, but the cropping plan
on most farms can be arranged so As
20 handle the crop conveniently.

REACHING THE SPOT
1t Has Been Done, So Scores of Min

1t Has Been Done, So Scores of Min
eral Point Citizens Say.
To get rid of an aching back,
The sharp twinges,
The. tired-out feelings,
You must reach the spot-get at
the cause.
In many cases it's the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
Mineral Point citizens testify.
Morris Proctor, 612 Washington
street, Mineral Point, says: "My
kidneys gave me lot of trouble.
The secretions were so bad and had
a constant desire to pass them. My
back was weak and painful and I was
in pretty bad shape. / read about
Doan's Kidney Pills being so good
and sent to the ReXall Drug Store
and got two boxes. used them &C
cording to directions and they cured
me up in good shape. I have had no
return of the trouble since, so can
certainly endorse Doan's"
Price Coo, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Proctor had. Foster Milburn

TO DESTROY CANADA THISTLE
First Step in Eradication Is to Pre-
vent Seed Deveiopment-Disk
in Early Fall.

The Canada thistle, also known as
the cursed thistle, is one Of the worst
weed pests. 1t spreads by it's root sys-
TENS as well as by seed. Its eradica-
ton entails a large amount OF work.
The first step in eradication, say
university farm men, is to prevent
seed development. After the grain
has been cut the infested land should
be plowed deep enough to bring the
roots of the thistle to the surface.
Disking the surface cultivation in the
early fall will prevent the growth Of

SURPRISE CONTESTS
ARE VERY effective
Remarkably Good Results Shown
in Western Cities.
Milk Dealer Dislikes to Be Surprised
With Dirty Product on His Wagon.
Especially When Results
Are Published.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Surprise milk contests-conteSts in
which the milk sold by various deal
.rs In city is compared by taking
samples occasionally without warning
have been very effective in improving
he milk supply of many cities. Con-
tests of this kind carried out with the
assistance of the United States Depart
nent of Agriculture have shown re-
narkable results in a number Of west
ern cities. The bacterial counts and
he total milk scores for the cities were
made up from the results of tests or
samples from each of the delivery sys-
TENS.
In Long Beach, Calf, the average
bacterial count in the first contest was
1928; in the last contest it was
down to 1923. In the first the aver
age score of the milk sold there was
7156, and in the last it was up to 9O.67.
The milk sold in Riverside, Calf, inn
proved in bacterial count from lOl,5OO
10 1922, and rose in score from o293
TO 1888. Los Angeles dealers, as
result of these surprise contests, made
great improvement in the quality OF
the milk supply, bringing down the
count from 4,169 to 1890 and rails
ing the score from 5000 to 91.65. The
figures of Portland, Ore, changed from
148, 400 to 1870, and from 1919 to
1882. The number Of bacteria in a
cubic centimeter Of Seattle milk was
brought from 64,124 down to 31,297,
and the score was lifted from $3.50 to
1924.
A milk dealer does not like to be sur
prised with dirty milk on his wagons,
especially when the results of the tests
are to be published in the local papers.
When his score goes up he finds the
number of his customers going up
when the bacterial count increases ne
finds an increase in the number OF ex-
customers.
