Gnawiing Gas
Causes Sleepless Nights
and Weary Days

When an excessive quantity of gas be-
comes locked in the stomach and bowels
it causes peculiar gnawing sensation
that keeps you awake at night and
makes you miserable during the day.
Perhaps you are not even aware that
you are troubled. with abnormal gas.
You only know that something is
wrong and that you are extremely nerv-
GUS and restless. Very often the heart
is affected by gas pressure, resulting in
sharp pains through the chest, palpi-
tation, difficult breathing or faint,
dizzy feeling.
The safest, surest and quickest way
of obtaining relief is to take Baalmann's
Gas Tablets, which liberate the pent-up
gas, stop the knawing feeling and help
restore the entire digestive system to
proper working order. Be sure to get
the genuine Baalmanns Gas Tablets
in the yellow package. Price 81 at

Variation in Production
of Milk Due to Feeding

Dalrymen are often puzzled as to
the explanation of why two cows OF
the same age. breeding. and under
similar management vary so widely In
milk production.
In a study to determine the under
lying cause of this variation the dairy
department of the Missouri College of
Agriculture kept exact feed and pro-
ductlOn records Of two cows Of similar
breeding. 1t was found that the COW
producing the largest amount Of milk
and bntterfat- consumed a great deal
more feed than the COW producing
only a small amount of fat. From
this 1t Is concluded that the underly-
Ing reason for the variation In the
milk production Of cows Is due to the
difference in the amount of feed they
are able to consume and use above
that required for maintenance. Both
cows were equally efficient in digest
ing the feed which they received. In
other words COW Is large pro-
Queer because she Is able to consume
large amount OF feed above the
maintenance requirement and uses
this feed for the production Of milk.
This, OF course, means that COW
must have large -udder containing
large number OF cells which secrete
milk. On the other hand, the small
producer has a small capacity for feed
and also mammary glands.

Treasure State

extension agronOmist and AIontana's

Smut Prevention committee In at
least two counties Of the state more
than 25 per cent OF the wheat was
damaged by smut las year. In Il cOun-
ties more than five per cent infection
was recorded. while some damage was
found In practically every county.
However. Montana has had less smut
damage than the other states in the
spring wheat belt. and this state has
been a leader in past years in prevent
ing smut losses. The Extension Serv-
lee Is recommending the copper car
Donate dust method for treating seed
for the prevention Of wheat smut, the

Ing oats and the twO-hOur formalde-
hyde soak method for treating barley.
