The first thing to do is to provide
a place to store the ice. If ice is scarce
and hard to put up, it would probably
be well to build an ice house, plans for
which may be obtained from the dairy
division, United States Department Of
Agriculture When ice is abundant
and easily harvested it may be cheaper
to disregard the shrinkage factor and
store it in a pit, cellar, shed or other
place, and inSulate it with saWdust or
ShayIngs. If this is done 20 to 80 per
cent additional ice should be provided
to allow for shrnkage.

Pasture s Essential to the Profitable
Production of Beef.

2S4 pounds i'll period of ia days.
The average quantity of feed consumed
for 100 pounds of gain was $50 pounds
of grain, 81 pounds of commercial con
centrates, 1871 pounds of dry roughage
such as hay and corn fodder, SOB
pounds of silage, and the equivalent of
20 days of pasturage
In addition to these cooperative
feeding trials with cattlemen in Indi-
ana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and Mis-
souri,, the United States Department

tons In southwestern Wisconsin to de-
termine the costs and amounts of feed

WAS ONLY COMIC OPERA WAR
Americans Experienced Odd Pro-
visions When Joining Spanish
Legion Against Moors.

1t was just comic opera war any
how, according to 50 young Americans
who have returned to New York from
whence they sailed two months ago
to join the Spanish Foreign Legion
for service against the MoorS. The
would-be Foreign Legionnaires were
represented in numbers among ex-serv-
ice men applying TO the American Le-
gion employment bureau for any kind
of work
After enlistment in New York, the
recruits almost all Of whom had
served overseas with the American
army, were sent to Ceuta, Africa.
There they were informed for the first
time that out of their pay of ~
pesetas a day (about 60 cents) they
must buy their own uniform, food,
even arms and ammunition.
1T was the funniest war you ever
saw" declared George Dimond Of
Brooklyn. who explained that the hard
er you fought the more it would cost
you for ammunition. If man fought
very hard he would soon be deeply in
debt to the Spanish government. If,
on the other hand, he conserved am
muniti0n and tried to save money, he
stood excellent chances of being
picked off by a Moor. Besides. all
that. the Americans, who thought they
were to be officers. were assured that
they were welcomed only as privates.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often

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 IL
soon realized. 1t 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 state 'ent 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.
Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root 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 4 Co., Bingham
