Farm Preparedness.
±i
This rather new word is a
mighty good one for farmers to
use. If the Nation should pre
pare for war why should not the
state, county, neighborhood and
individual farmer prepare for
winter and for the future? Why
not for the next thirty days,
study ways of preparing? Pre
pare cribs for corn, sheds for
cotton and bins for seed and
sheds for farm tools. Prepare
for an abundance of feed for all

starved. Remember that cows
are machines for making butter
fat or good meat for the market.
The more feed, of the right kind,
the more of the marketable pro
duct. Plant turnips for table
and for the cows. Plant rape
for the pigs. Sow rye for winter
pasture for cows and mules.
Plant potatoes and a dozen other
vegetables for the table. Pre
pare.

When You Send or Tele
phone for a Doctor.
ALWAYS say who is sick,
j whether man, woman or child.
| ALWAYS tell, as near as you can
what is the matter. Whether j
heart trouble, spasms, or injury, j
and if injured in any way, j
whether broken arm or leg, cut, j
burn, blow, fall, shock, poison,;
gun shot wound, or hemorrhage.
If you-know, say how long
they have been sick, if you have
had a doctor treating them, and
if so, your reason for changing
doctors, because no doctor likes
to go to another doctor’s case un
less you have good reasons for
the change.
DO NOT SAY, come just as
quickly as you can, then make
the doctor wait for his pay AS
LONG AS YOU CAN.
DO NOT WAIT till the last
moment and send at night when
you could as eaisily have sent
in the morning or at noon.
DO NOT WAIT till the patient
is nearly dead, then blame the
doctor when they do not recover.
DO NOT PUT OFF PAYING
THE DOCTOR till his patience
is gone, then blame him for his
inhumanity when he refuses to j
go. He cannot afford to lose a!
good call for a DEADBEAT
CALL. —Exchange.
