Preparations for the ball were begun weeks ago, the hall has been decorated and the band or- chestra under the direction of L. Burchard has prepared an excellent music program. The dance tomorrow evening is given to secure funds to maintain the band. The organization is several hundred dollars in debt and this dance is given in order to pay off part of that debt. Everyone in Bemidji, without a question, is proud of the_ band. It takes more than appreciation to keep up the organization, however.

Don’t neglect your first cold, cough or any Bronchial;affection, this fall, but commence treatment immediate- ly, and through using the proper medicine, it can be checked from the very start and promptly cured, but if neglected probably will hang on all winter; if it does not develop into something more serious such as Pneu- monia or Consumption. True, there are hundreds, yes thousands of cough remedies on the market. While some are good, there are many which are not, but are positively harmful, due to the narcotics which they contain. But why experiment with these dif- ferent remedies purely on the strength perhaps of some testimo- nials or on the exaggerated claims of manufacturers, when Schiffmann’s New Concentrated Expectorant is sold by Barker’s Drug Store on such a positive guarantee to give perfect satisfaction, ves even more—money will be refunded by them if-it is not tending to business and shopping re- turned last night to Blackduck where they make their home.

Besides these druggists guaranteeing ‘that it will be the best remedy ever used,” it will likewise be found the most economical, because one bottle (650 cents’ worth) makes a full pint (128 teaspoonsful) of the most excellent medicine for any of the above af- fections, when mixed at home with one pint of granulated sugar and one-half pint of water. It makes as much, or more, than would cost you $2.00 to $3.00 of almost any of the ordinary ready-made kinds, sold in bottles holding only 24 to 30 tea- spoonsful. You will be the sole judge yourself and under the same positively ‘“Money Back” guarantee which the druggists make for the fa- mous Asthmador. Absolutely no risk is run in buying this remedy.— Adv.

The average percentage of butter fat resulting from a seven day test may not give a true indication as to the ac- tual production covering a long period of time. “The man who is in the mar- ket for a herd sire from a 4 per cent family desires to get a sire that will increase the butter fat test of his herd —not for seven days ounly, but for the year. It does not always follow that the cow that gives an average test of 4 per cent for seven days will test 4 per cent for the year.” This statement was made recently by Professor O. I. Reed of the Kansas Agricultural col: lege after he had been making some studies of .seven day. tests in the col lege herd. observation was 4.18 for a seven day period. The average test for the same cow for a year was but 3.42. Another cow gave an average test of 4.4 for seven days, but her year's average test was 8.19. These yearly tests were offi: cial records. Another cow that has re- cently completed a seven day test gave milk showing an average of 4.21 per cent butter fat during this period. During her two previous lactation pe- riods, however, her average test was but 3.65 per cent. Tt is evident that too much emphasis should not be placed on seven day but- ter fat tests. Those covering the long- er periods of time are far more depend: able in connectien: with improving the production of the herd. Feeding: Milk Producers. The one important principle. to be kept in mind in feeding any.milk-pro- ducing animal is that the heavy milk- ers. produce economically if. fed.liber- ally on grain, while the light milkers or the boarders will in the end be more profitable if fed largely on roughage. There are plenty of cows in the dairies of the corn belt that will produce more economically on . ensilage. and clover hay than they would if forced with high priced grain, while, on the.other hand, there are cows in every. herd that should receive anywhere from eight to fifteen pounds.of grain. a.day- along with their roughage. It.is simply.a question of giving the heavy producer a chance to do her best’and, on the oth- er hand, to give the loafer the least possible opportunity to rob her owner, doing this, as before stated, by carry- ing her along largely on roughage alone.—~Iowa Homestead. % SOME -BEE WISDOM. % ettt oottt el “Any old thing™ does not make a suitable hive in which to keep bees.
