Phone 25 Cole Brothers The Doctors Prescription Can be filled properly by any druggist who has the ingredients specified by the physician, we think nearly all druggists exercise the proper care and accuracy in filling prescriptions, therefore we do not claim to be better than anyone in filling prescriptions. When we fill a prescription exactly as written by the physician we have done all we or anyone else can do.

Farmer and Stockman. Every patron of a co-operative creamery should visit the butter mak- er some day when he is testing the cream and milk in order to see what science is doing for the dairy industry. The butter maker will be glad to have you there because he knows that the more you know about what he is do- ing the better it is for both. It is not the late cultivation that in- jures the corn, but the deep plowing, the breaking and tearing loose of the corn roots that reach out in every. di- rection from the stalk to draw the ele- ments to it for sustenance. Stir the surface soil and maintain ‘the dust mulch in the cornfield till that pro- duct tassels out, but don’t dig down with the cultivator and damage the life-giving roots. There are times when even the largest sized fly net is not equal to the occasion. Recently chin flies bother- ed my team until the worry was hard- er than the work. Itseems to me there would be a market for a strong- ly made chin net, one that could be quickly snapped to the bridle and shaped to protect from these flies, without proving bunglesome. It is a bit of a bother to walk some distance from the house to milk, but in the summer time, when flies are |” bad, it is worth considerable effort to have the cow corral some distance from the house, thus contributing a little towards keeping down the fly pest. There is no question but what cattle corralled for the night within ten rods of the house are the means of bringing more flies. The boy who would do a good job of cultivating cannot watch every team or auto along the road until out of sight, at the same time keep his own team walking along. Of course, | a boy is excused for “rubbering’’ | when his girl is in one of the convey- \ ances, but continual ‘“‘rubbering’’ means poor work in the field. An improvement that strikes me as being the best thing I have seen ina} long time is a stone-arched culvert, over a “‘bad’’ slough, between my place and town. The stone arch! means no hump up when the front wheels strike itand no chuck down when the hind wheels leave it, and if it has been made well itis safe all the time and will stand through al- most eternity. It is never necessary | to “fix’’ a stone arch culvert by nail- | ing a plank on top of a hole. | Another short hay crop is inevitable, | I was out in the clover recently and | while fairly thick on the ground, it is | very short.

What is a greater nuisance than a mess of goslings? They get in all the water they can reach, mess it all up, and they straightway commence more racket than a quilting party when you happen to ask someone a short distance off a question. The answer is drowned in a babble of harsh, dis- cordant notes. IfI were going into geese raising I should want to learn to talk on the fingers. In spreading hay in wide mow the work can be done more quickly and easily with the aid of a horse and a harpoon hay fork than by hand. This may be done by putting: floor hooks in the plates on each side of the barn about sixteen feet apart. Then take a pulley that can be moved from one to the other of these and a rope long enough to reach out through the hay door to the ground, and the outfit is complete. With a little practice a man and boy and a horse can spread several loads of hay in a short time. It is sometimes necessary to stretch pose of running a curtain across a room or to have a tight wire to hang light articles over. This can be done by making use of the tightener of a! buck saw frame. | REBUILD THE STATE CAPITOL. No tax payer should overlook the following important considerations with respect to the special election to be held on August first: First: Missouri is without @ capitol in which to transact public business and preserve public rec- ords. This is the result of a disas- trous fire, and presents a situation that must be met by the people. Second: The legisiature provid- ed two plaws, one of which must De adopted, or tfle state be left with- out a capitol for years to come. | | The first of these propositions HS] the bond issue of $3,500,000 to be; voted upon on August Ist. If duh | fails a bond issue of $5,000,000 is to | be voted upon in November, 1912. i Third: By the adoption of the $3,500,000 proposition on August 1st, the people can save $1,500,000, upon the principal and more than $1,000,000 in interest; and prevent two or three years of expensive { delay in the completion of a new building, } Fourth: The amount each tax- payer will be called upon to pay is insignificant. For instance, a man owning a farm of the cash value of $3,000, assessed at $1,000, would be called upon to pay 20 cents a year for not over 13 years, with the prospect that he would have these || taxes to pay for only eight years, || owing to the rate of increase of the value of. taxable property in the state from year to year, and the consequent increase in revenue, Work Will Soon Start.
