| . w=wi Combs’ Lo o ADVERTISEMENTS SIMPLE MIXTURE MAKES HENS LAY By W. S. Burgess Any poultry raiser can greatly in- crease his profits, easily, quickly and at little expense by taking advantage of the 35 years’ experience of a suc- cessful poultryman. A life long study of egg production has resulted in a formuta of buttermilk and - other in- gredients that puts pep into lazy hens. This formula is now put up in tablet form and is called Combs’ Buttermilk Compound Tablets. Simply feed in water o mix with feed. I am so con- vinced that this wonderful formula is always successful that I say, kill the hen that won’t lay after using it. Try Combs’ Buttermilk Compound Tablets on your own flock—if in 30 days your cgg-production hasn’t greatly increas- ed, and your feed bills been reduced, and if every one of your flock isn’t healthy, the tablets cost you nothing. One million new users are wanted, so for a limited time any reader of this paper can get the big regular $2.50 box (enough for a season) $1 prepaid. Simply write name on a slip of paper, pin check or dollar bill to it, mail to Mr. R. C. Combs, Mgr. Milk Products Co., 2106 Central St., Kansas City, Mo., and in a short time you can bank on getting more eggs.

As I was raised near Mandan, N. D., and came out here in 1910 I know just what trees will do. I have about 5 farm. Of course the farmers out here will say, “Oh, trees won’t grow—it is too dry.” But I say they will grow if you. cultivate them. Most of my trees experiment station and were planted in 1915. This year I will plant about 1,060 ever- green trees, also from the Mandan station. In only cne thing I don’t agree with you, and that is, don’t plant any of the poplar variety west of Dickinsen, N. D., for they grow too fast and their roots then die, not getting er\ough mois- ture for the big tree. I only wish someone would encourage , tree planting in eastern Mon- tana. You can see by ,000 trees around my the photos that my trees stood the drouth three years in succession. Of course now they are full of snow, 16 feet deep, and they sure shield the farm from the wind and storm in. winter. And you ought to have seen them last summer, when all the prairie was black and dry the trees were green. People - wondered how they would stand the drouth. I wish you could glve us some more about: frees some day in our Leader. Well, we have a big fight out here in Montana battling big business, but you watch us this year at the polls! We will stick. C. B. LAVAN. Baker, Mont. Mr. Lavan and the tree planting on-: his farm. Among the trees are willows, Norway poplar, ash, box elder, Carolina poplars and other varieties. He also has a few apple, - cherry and other fruit trees growing successfully. Insurance—For the People’s Benefit: (Cortinued from page 3) up county affaits, just as they have already cleaned up state affairs. The state bonding insurance law was first enacted in North Dakota in 1915, but in-a somewhat incomplete and faulty condition. It at once arous- ed the ire of the bonding insurance companies and they carried their fight against it to the courts. It was not until January 1, 1918, that the law could be put in operation. The League legislature of 1919 extended the law and made some improvements. It is now possible to view the expenence of this fund for two years. The law provides for a premium of 25 cents for each $100 for which a public official (state, county, .city school or township) may be bonded, the same rate as that charged by bonding companies.’ Above a small cash surplus retained in the state treasury, this money is put out at interest. < Total recelpts under this law .for the two years have been, in premiums and interest, $67,081.38. The. total amount of bonds now -in force is $12,481,650. Oof the receipts this fund has a cash balance of .$60,445.82 in the state treasury and accounts receivable of $2,459.12 in addition. Total expenses under the law in two-years have been only $4,176.44. - . Despite all the “terrorism,” “fraud,” etc., which eastern papers have lald to North Dakota officials, it has not been necessary to date to spend one cent out of the state fund to cover .defalcations or illegal actions. The $67,081.88 that the state has collected is exactly the same amount of money that otherwise would have gone to eastern bonding companies, partly for expenses; in the main, for net profits for their stockholders! 'Is it any wonder that the insurance companies ‘declare that North Dakota farmers " are anarchists, Soclahsts and Bolshe- viki ? North Dakota, of course, has on]y made a beginning thus far in extract- ing the graft from the insurance busi- ness. The biggest proved success thus far is state hail insurance, which saved the farmers 42 cents an acre at a mini- mum, which, applied to the total crop- ped acreage of the state, meant a total saving of better than $5,000,000. Another big industrial saving is also being made with- workmen’s compen- sation insurance. Besides protecting ‘the injured worklngman the state of North Dakota is protecting the em- ployer from expensive lawsuits. = The only losers appear to be the casualty insurance companies and lawyers who customarily specialized in personal in- jury cases, taking 50 to 75 pér cent of collections for their fees. And some- how ‘it is hard to-get up any degree of sympathy for these gentlemen, despite their undoubtedly heavy losses and “their undoubtedly sincere convictions that no one but a Bolshevist would ad- . vocate state insurance in any form. _In the near future something: will be told of the success which Nortl Da- kota is making in actual operation of the workmen’s compensation law. BETTER HENS—MORE EGGS Every hen kept on an American farm should lay 100 eggs a year, the United States department of agricul- ture urges in a campaign for greater egg production. The average egg pro- duction before the war w#s ‘70 eggs per hen.: One hundred Missouri farms récently averaged 106 eggs per hen. Forty-five 'Missouri counties which' have enlisted in the “better hen’” cam- palgn estimate that. they saved $78,000 in feed by weedmg out unprofitable hens. - LIGHT MAKES ’EM LAY Plenty of light is an important fac- tor in encouraging hens to lay. Poul- try houses should be built with north and east windows, if possible.. Some poultry fanciers even depend upon artificial * lighting durmg the winter months.
