Not Always Understood.

fact often overlooked, or not always
understood, is that women suffer as much
from distressing kidney and bladder troub-
les as the men, The womb is situated
back Of and very close to the bladder, and
for that reason any distress, disease, or in
convenience manifested in the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weakness
or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided by setting urine aside for
twenty-tour hours; sediment or settling
is evidence that your kidneys and bladder
need doctoring. If you have pain or dull
aching in the back, pass water too fire.

MARRIED PEOPLE LIVE LONG.


By remaining unmarried between the
ages of 80 and 40, a man loses not 10 years
of his life but Is.
Among married men between 20 and 30,
the death rate is but IL. Among unmar-
ried men 1t is 1919, more than double.
French figures show that 40 married
men to every bachelors reach the age Of
80, and III married women to IA spinsters.

How 1t Felt.

A worthy old gentleman who had
never wandered far from his native
township before went to Boston one
day in response to an invitation to visit
a relative.
The Bostonian. in showing his friend
about town, took him to the top of a
tall Office building. They took a look
at the marvellous landscape spread out
before them and prepared to descend.
They entered the elevator. It began its
swift journey downward.
Don't be frightened, Uncle Silas. ?
said the younger man, as his visitor
grasped his arm, shut his eyes and held
on for life. There is no danger .
II wasn't afraid, George, gasped
Uncle Silas, after they had stepped out
of the elevator, but I'll left my stonl-
ach up there. Youth S Companion.

Dairy and Creamery.

space eight inches wide on all sides and
fill this with sawdnst. Break joints
with the successive layers of ice. Make
a ventilator in the roof and cell tight I'M

the ventilator. Tarred building paper is
the best thing to use for the purpose of

Wide and Narrow Ration.

At the Hatch experiment station In
Massachusetts two lots of COWS were
fed on foods differing in kind, one lot
receiving marrow ration and the
other ''wide' ration By narrow ra-
ton is meant one containing four or five
times as much carbohydrates (starchy
matter) as protein heterogeneous matter),
the wide ration containing eight or ten
times as much carbohydrates as protein.
The wide ration consisted of pound
more of hay daily than in the narrow,
and in that experiment all the COWS
were fed hay and sugar beets. Corn
meal and wheat bran were given in the
wide ration and gluten meal and wheat
bran in the narrow ration. In the sec
ond experiment hay, millet and soy
bean ensilage were given to all the COWS,
the concentrated foods of the narrow
ration being gluten meal, bran and old
process linseed meal, the concentrated
foods of the wide ration consisting of
wheat bran and cornmeal.
With the narrow rations from H. 88
to H. 8 per cent more milk was obtain
ed than from the wide ration, consider
ing the proportions digested, and the
narrow rations also reduced the cost of
production from to 10 per cent The
average daily cost of quart of milk by
the use of the narrow ration was 1.81
cents, and with the wide ration 1877
cents while the same ratio of increase
in the amount of butter and decrease in
cost was obtained from the narrow ra-
tion, the cost of butter being Is. 81 cents
per pound for the narrow ration and
Is. SO cents for the wide ration. With
the narrow rations the best COW, in one
experiment. produced 1919 pounds Of
butter in week at cost of IA cents
per pound, while in the same expert
ment the best COW on the wide ration
produces 9.52 pounds Of butter per
week at cost of 1867 cents per pound.
In the second experiment the best COW,
on the narrow ration, produced 1881
pounds of butter per week at cost of
H. Sc cents per pound.

Ice For the Farm Dairx.

II is not only for creameries that ice
is important and necessary. The farm
er's wife who sets her milk in pans the
old fashioned way cannot do her butter
justice unless she has an icehouse to go
to for ice to keep her butter firm in hot
weather. She is usually obliged to
adopt such makeshifts as hanging her
butter suspended in pal. in the we'll
or putting it in the cellar, which. though
cool enough, is often too filled with
odors to be a proper receptacle for butter.
Wherever farmer sets himself to the
work of dairying, he ought also to find
some place to sell his butter product to
private customers, rather than sell it to
dealers, to be worked off with common
and inferior stock. There are many in
every neighborhood who would gladly
contract their supplies of butter if they
knew where they could getit of uniform
good quality. But to make this butter
retailing successful there must be ar
engagements of silos and grain feeding
for the winter dairy, SO that good but
ter can be provided for customers in
winter as well as in summer. -Ameri-
