tive work in Montana, however, is
divided into Standardization of
crop varieties and the development
of the alfalfa seed production
phase of Montana agriculture.
In alfalfa seed production the
association works in close coop
Grafton with the Montana Expert
ment station and Extension service.
By a system of field and bin in
spection, checking of seed origin,
sealing and labelling, the bona fide
growers of genuine Grimm and
Cossack alfalfa seed are being pro-
tected from the competition of un-
scrupulous dealers and growers
who certify" that their seed is
Grimm or Cossack alfalfa, when in
many cases it is only common al
falfa. Farmers of the middle west
ern and eastern states are only too
glad to pay the extra price for this
form of seed insurance from Mon
tana, where they look for their seed
supply. 1t is the only way, Mr..
Ogaard believes, for Montana to
maintain the good name of its
hardy alfalfa seed. In the last
year there were 121,728 pounds of
sealed and labeled Montana Grimm
alfalfa seed produced in Montana.
Crop Standardization is, perhaps,
the most important single work of
the association This work has
three steps, or periods of progress,
and each is of great Importance

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-Ro0t

Judging from reports from druggist:
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. 1t stands the highest fol-
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, il
an interview of 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 applications
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 & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this per-Advertisement

Mighty dry, all right, but were
taking every precaution."
I'm sure you are, but you can't take
precautions for other people. Has
anybody been putin you up to any
trouble here?"
"Well, no, I can't exactly say trou
ble," said Transley, but we've got
notice it's coming. A chap named
Grant, foreman, 1 think, for Landson
down the valley, rode over last night
and invited US not to cut any hay here
abouts. He was very courteous, and
all that, but he had the manner of a
man who'd go quite distance in a
pinch"
What did you tell him."
Told him l was working for Y.D.,
and then asked him to stay for sup

'Did he stay?" Zen asked.
"He did not. He cantcred off back,
courteous as he came. And this morn
ing we went out on the job, and have
cut all day, and nothing has hap
pened"
81 guess he found you We're not to
be bluffed," said Zen, and Transley
could not prevent a flush of pleasure
at her compliment. "Of course Land
son has no real claim to the hay, has
he, Dad"
"Of course not. l reckon them1l be
his stacks we saw down the valley
Well, I'm not wantin' to rob him of
the fruit of his labor, an if he keeps
calm perhaps we'll let him have what
he has cut. but If he DON'T" Y.D.'s
face hardened with the set of. a man
accustomed to fight, and win, his own

around a day of two In case he tries
to start anythin'." he continued.
"Well. five o'clock comes early"
said Transley. "and you folks must
be tired with your long drive. We've
had your tent pitched down by the
water, Zen, so that its murmurs may
sing you to sleep. You see, I have

Life gives you just Is years

Average Health Span extends only from age Is to
age 81, according to United States
Life Tables, 1920

Assuming that you are the average
person, you will enjoy health-phys

fact is shown by the United States
Life Tables, 1920.

This sounds sensational It is sem

something to which the wise man or
woman will give serious thought.
OF course, it is not natural, or right.
1t is the direct result of an artificial
mode of life-of careless eating, sleep
lessness, and stimulated nerves. Nature
provides a danger signaEfatigue-to
warn when the body needs rest. The
person who regularly deadens the
fatigue signal by the use of drug is
overriding the warning of nature.
That is what coffee does. TIE
average cup of coffee contains IL to

as poison This is a dose of caffein
of the size often administered by ply
sicians in cases of heart failure. 1t
is powerful stimulant. It appears to
give new strength by deadening the
fatigue signal Actually, this new
strength is robbed from the body's
own reserve.

only virtues, as a beverage, are its
warmth and flavor. A good, hot, drug

Morgan Horses

The 3-yearold Morgan stallion, Nod
away, bred at Middlebury, Vt, has
been sold to Senior Don Samuel Alva-
fez, Santa Ana, San Salvador. The
horse will be shipped in few days.
Senior Alvarez plans to establish the
breeding of type of light horse suit
able for use on the plantations Of his
country and has selected the Morgan
as the most desirable for breeding up
the native stock.
Many years ago the Department of
Agriculture undertook the preserva-

breed, which, although a very useful
horse in the development of the coun-
try In earlier days, had been neg
