IMPROVE QUALITY OF COUNTY LIVE STOCK Unigue and Successful Commu- nity Association in Virginia. Specialists Believe There Is Fertile Fleld for Formation of Similar Clubs Throughout Country— Overhead Cost Saved. (Preparea by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) One of the most unique and success- ful community breeders’ associations of the country is located in Loudoun county, Va, It is unusual because in- stead of fostering the breeding and improvement of a single class of live stock, it sponsors the Improvement of elght breeds and classes of live stock. The excellence of such a plan is that duplication in work and extra expense are eliminated, while the soclety is really standardizing the production of purebred live stock within Loudoun county. % Guernsey and Shorthorn cattle, Per- cheron horses, Berkshire and Duroc Jersey hogs, Shropshire sheep, and Rhode Island Red and Barred Ply- mouth Rock poultry have been select- s A Purebred Guernsey Bull, the Type of Animal That Is Gaining Popularity Because of the Better-Sire-Better- Stock Campaign. - ed in'public meeting by the farmers and stockmen of that section as the dominant breeds of the county. The Loudoun County Breeders' as- sociation, organized in 1%16 by joint efforts of the county agent, a progres- slve banker, and a few forward-look- Ang farmers, has grown from an orig- inal strength of 60 to over 250 active members. Through its manager it purchases and sells live stock for its members and has been of marked in- fluence in improving the character and quality of the county live stock. Specialists of the department of ag- riculture believe that there is a fer- tile field for the formation of similar live stock breeding clubs throughout the United States. In some of the leading stock-producing areas four or five, or even more, individual breeders’ clubs now exist, whereas one general organization saves an overhead cost and permits of the hiring of a pald business manager as in Loudoun county. _ CREOSOTE FOR FENCE POSTS Best Preservative Treatment Consists of Boiling Wood in Liquid for Short Period. Five cents’ worth of creosote ap- plied to a fence post will prolong its ‘life many years. Posts that will last ordinarily but four or five years in the ground can be made to last 20 by treat~ ing. ‘Woods like beech, birch, maple, ush, poplar and others that are not ordi- narily used for fence posts, can be made as durable as locust or cedar by a preservative treatment with creosote. This treatment does not consist simply in painting the post with creosote or in dipping it in creosote. While these treatments do some good, they do not insure deep penetration of the creosote into the wood or the filling of the cracks and season checks. The best preservative treatment con- sists in heating the posts in boiling hot creosote for 30 to 60 minutes, then leaving them in the tank until the liquid has cooled. The creosote will be forced deeply into the wood and thus fill all checks and cracks and form an exterlor shell of treated wood that will prevent rotting. An old, dis- carded gasoline drum with the top cut out, set up so that a fire may be built beneath, makes an excellent treating tank at little expense. USE SIRES OF GOOD QUALITY Recipients of Department of Agricul- ture Emblems Represent Scat- tered Sections. Widely scattered sections of the country are represented in the list of the first recipients of the official em- blem bestowed upon live stock owners by the United States department of agriculture in connection with the “Better Sires—Better Stock” campaign now in progress. Possession of this emblem shows that the owner has agreed to keep and use only pure-bred sires of good quality, and will follow .to the best of his ability breeding :methods leading to live stock improve 'ment.

I imagine that while Patrick Henry was at the Virginia legislature making his famed speech, ‘Give me liberty or give me death,’ that Mrs. Patrick H. was at home wailing, ‘Give me sympathy or give me death."— [ndianapolis News.

After you have read the following, quietly answer the ques- tion. Francis J. Catteyson, prop. shoe shop, 217 Minnesota Ave., Bemidji, says:" “I used to suffer terribly from pains across my back and as I am sitting on the repair bench all day, I blame that for my trouble. I got so bad at times I couldn’t rise up from my seat without taking hold of something for support. 1 had blinding dizzy spells and could see black specks in front of my eyes. I was very nervous and my kidneys didn’t act regularly. I used all kinds of kidney remedies but they didn’t do a particle of good. I tried Doan’s Kidney Plils and have never had a sign of my old complaint since.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Catteyson had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. o . e WILSON MAKES 24 POUND GAIN Iowa Manufacturer Makes a Statement to the Pub- lic About Tanlac J. D. Wilson, secretary and gen- eral manager of the Algona Brick & Tile Company of Algona, Iowa, called at McNerney’s Drug store in Des Moines, recently, and made a statement regarding the benefits he has derived from the use of Tanlac that will be of interest throughout the entire state. In relating his experience with the Master Medicine, Mr. Wilson says he has not only gotten rid of a case of nervous indigestion from which he had suffered for three years, but that he has also gained twenty-four pounds in weight. Here is his statement: “I have been benefited even be-| - yond my belief and feel that it is time for me to talk for the benefit of others. I had suffered from nerv- ous indigestion and a general run down condition for three years. My stomach was so weak and upset that I could not retain and digest enough of what I ate to keep up my strength and I was gradually losing ground all the time. My food would sour almost as soon as I had eaten it and the gas from it would press on my heart causing palpitation, short- ness of breath and intense pains. My kidneys were also in bad shape and I often suffered with severe pains in the small of my back. “No kind of treatment or medicine did me any good and as a result of my condition I was continually losing weight. I was worried constantly with the fear that my case was be- yond the reach of medicines. But I finally began taking Tanlac on the advice of an old friend and not only have my troubles been relieved, but I feel like I have been given a new lease on life. At the time I began taking this medicine I only weighed one hundred and eighteen pounds, but I now balance the scales at one hundred and forty-two, making an actual gain of twenty-four pounds. I can now eat just anything sét be- fore me and never feel a sign of in- digestion. Why, only yesterday I ate steak and onions for dinner, ‘thor- oughly enjoyed them, and they did not hurt me the least bit. I am now able to eat cabbage and pork and digest them as easily as I can milk. In fact, neither my stomach or kid- neys bother me any more. I am ab- solutely free from all pain and am in better shape physically than I have been in a long time. A medicine that will do what Tanlac has done in my case is certainly worth recom- mending to the public and I am glad to give this statement to be used in letting othets, who are trying to find relief, know about it.” Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by the City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs. R.
