His Testimony.
Mr.. James Thorne, as readers of this in
Owosso know, is feed and produce dealer
at POI w. Main st. His endorsement will sat
isfy many skeptic. This is what he says !:
Il have been troubled periodically with
lame back. 1t would be most severe in
spells that would last in all their severity
for good long time. 1t was the old pain,
located right through the lower part of the
back in the region of the kidneys. / have
used so-called-remedies, but l suf-
fered just the same without knowing much
about relief until got at the drug store of
Johnson q Henderson box of Doans Kid
ney Pills, which had been told were good
for backache. They beat anything l ever
used, acting quickly and helping me right
along. They regulated and corrected the
action of the kidneys, thereby removing the
pain and soreness from my back. / do not
hesitate to fully endorse Doan's Kidney Pills.
They have proved in my case to be good
thing"
Nature has provided certain amount of
work for every organ of the human body (;
overtax them and disease eventually follows.
There is not one portion of our organism
that is so overworked as the Kidneys; on
them is placed the important function of
filtering the blood of the impurities which
naturally form in the regular action of life
and digestion. The kidneys are consequently
termed the sewerage of the system; clog up
this sewer, and the blood becomes tainted
with poisonous uric acid, which brings on
disease in many forms. The back is the first
to show this stoppage. From there comes
the warning note; it should be needed, and
the kidneys receive prompt attention.
Doan's Kidney Pills will right the action of
the kidneys quickly, relieve the back of pains
and aches and cure all troubles of the kid
neys and bladder.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all
dealers-price so cents. Mailed by Foster
Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y, sole agents for
the United States. Remember the name,
Doan's, and take no other.

A Historical Item.

One Gay recently, in Dundee school,
the teacher was examining the class in
history and asked one of the boys
How did Charles I. die?"
The boy paused for moment, and
one Of the other lads, by way Of prompt

to signify decapitation.
Boy No. at once grasped, as he
thought, his friends meaning and ex-
claimed, to the great amusement Of the
class: please, sir. he died of cholera"

TRELLIsING GRAPES.

Grapes trellising according to the
Munson system has proved so success
full at the Oklahoma Experiment
Station this year, that Professor Waugh
unhesitatingly recommends it for
adoption in general vinegar ding. Ac-
cording to this system, posts stand six
feet out of the ground. At the top a
crosspiece two feet long is nailed, and
at each end of this wire is run. A
third wire is run through the middles
of the posts eight inches below these
two, so that the three wires set in a
sort of V shape nearly six feet from the
ground. This great height is an es-
sential feature of the system, and
should not be modified. On this trel-
lis the grape vines spread out as they
do where they grow wild in the woods
This furnishes shade for the fruit.
AT the same time the fruit is so far
above ground as to be Esafe from the
intense reflected rays of the sun, which
caused more damage in Oklahoma
vineyards the past season than all
other causes combined. The trellis
also has many other advantages and
only a few disadvantages. Farm,

ECONOMY IN PLANTING.

In small fruit growing change oil

ing year or two for the plants to
grow. When my strawberry bed has
but one more year to grow 1 set in

ries are ready to bear as soon as the
Strawberries are given up. No year
is lost. So in my raspberry gardens 1
plant pear trees, and expect them to
be in good bearing by the time the
berries are worn out. A red raspberry
plantation should be good for twelve
years or more if properly cared for
and manured. The pears will by that
time be giving heavy crops. There is

TIE Greater New YORK..

Some of the larger cities that are to
be distOnced by Greater New York are
content to boast of their acreage. Chi
eago has the biggest municipal acre
age in the country, covering over 100
square miles, while New York covers
only about forty. Some idea of the
sardine civilization of New York can
be had by rejecting that it covers but
little moro ground than Boston. What
is still more astonishing is that when
the Greater New York comes to cover
3lS square miles it will still be more
densely settled than Chicago. We
fancy Boston to be a very crowded
city, with 1876 persons to tho acre.
New York has over 5S persons TO the
acre, aud Chicago, with all her boast
ing, has but 10.7 to the acre. II we
are to estimate population by the
acre it greatly disturbs all previous
calculations. When the greater me-
tropolis is completed it will still havo
more people to tine acre than London.

HOW TO HANDLE

HOW TO HANDLE AND KEEP POTATOES.
Potatoes should be handled very
carefully, as they easily peel their
skins and bruise, when rot is certain
to onsue. Potatoes should be kept al
q temperature of from forty-fve to
fifty degrees in moderately dry,
well-ventilated apartment, from which
light must be carefully excluded, else
the potatoes will develop a strong,
rank taste.
They are bulky crop, and every
time they are handled unnecessarily
involves a cost which materially re
duces the profit. The earlier farmers
can sell the better, as keeping in win
ter involves further work and losl
from rot, while later on the weight
and value of the potatoes will bt
greatly reduced by the growth of the
eyes. Judging by the present outlook,
it will pay every grower who has po.
tatoes to take the best care Of them. -
