HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let It stand twenty-four hours;
n sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition Of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen It is evidence OF kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to
urinate or pain in the back, Is also con-
Vincing proof that the kidneys and blad-
der are out Of order.
WHAT TO
There is comfort in the knowledge 30
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain In passing 1t, or bad effects
following use of liquor, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant neces-
sty of being compelled to get UP many
times during the night to urinate. The
mild and the extraordinary effect Of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands
the highest for its wonderful cures OF
the most distressing cases, II you need
a medicine you should have the best.

Prosperity Of the Farmer,

The farm is not only the home of the
most contentment and happiness but it
is also the birthplace of prosperity
When the farmers are prosperous eV-
erybody else shares in that prosperity
and when the farmers are depressed and
discouraged all other classes of business
suffer at once. Upon this subject the
Chicago Drovers Journal says:
Nearly every industry is so closely
related to agriculture that if farmers
make failure the effect is keenly felt
along all commercial lines. During the
past year farmers and stock raisers have
met with better luck than usual, both in
producing and in obtaining good prices.
Merchants have found their business
increasing, and, in fact, most every in
dustry has felt the touch OF better times.
More mortgages have been lifted from
farm land than for many years past.
In big cities, where tramps and hoboes
hibernate, there is always an army of
unemployed, for most of them are not
looking for work. The right place to
look for the Country's prosperity is on
the farm"

Bermuda Grass for Stock.

In many parts of the South dairy
men are pasturing Bermuda grass with
considerable success. One thing to be
said in favor Of the grass is that it will
grow on any soil not utterly devoid of
life, and it seems to be the one grass
cows never tire of eating. The seed
rarely ripens in the United States and
the method of propagation is to cut the
tops and roots into small pieces and SOW
them broadcast in the early spring, usu-
ally sowing them with oats and plOwing
all under together, cutting the oats at
the usual season. The second season
the Bermuda grass may be pastured and
1t will increase in strength and value
each year. AS a fattening food it is
remarkable, for cows turned into it to
pasture early in April in thin condi-
tion were fit for the butcher in August.
The grass increases the flow of milk to
a considerable degree, but does not add
much to it's quality. 1L is very difficult
to eradicate when once started and for
that reason many farmers prefer not to
start 1t on their farms.

San Jose scale than the Goblin moth,
scab, blight or bOrers; the former can
be kept thoroughly in check with less
work and expense than any one Of the
latter. This is an indisputable fact,
fact thoroughly demonstrated in the
California orchards. It is unnecessary
to dig and burn a badly infested tree,
as some Of the wise ones often say.
Three thorough sprayings with lime,
sulphur and salt, or the resin washes,
properly applied at the right times, will
clean any tree, no matter how many
scale are on it; then one spraying
year Is sufficient. OF course If the scales
have been on so long as to almost kill
the tree, then new one had better be
planted.
ut sounds rather ridiculous to hear
such an uproar about an insect that, as
said before, is less dangerous or trouble
some than many Of the insects which
orchardists are fighting and saying
nothing about. The numbers of curculio,
Goblin moth and several others can only
be diminished in a degree, and the dam
age resulting from their depredauons
in proportion; but the scale can easily
be rendered perfectly harmless"

Palms in The Window.

Many rooms that are not sufficiently
warm for Towering plants will answer
nicely for palms. If kept in cool win
dow with little or no sun, and the tenn
perature Of the room at about 650, they
will grow and keep healthy. The matter
OF water is essential In palm culture;
unless the room Is very warm, water
given three times week will be plenty,
but when given the soil In the pot
should be thoroughly soaked. AS spring
nears little plant food my be added
to the soil, or an application OF weak
liquid manure may be given. To keep
palms looking green and healthy GER
tain amount of moisture for the leaves
is necessary, and the only way in which
this can be supplied in the house is
by washing the foliage with sponge or
damp cloth at least every other day.
Try this and you will see a vast Inn
provement in the appearance of the
plants.

Useful Plants.

Plants useful to man are estimated
to number about 10000 Among them
are 5000 roughly classed as economic
and food plants. The above includes
LOO edible fruits and berries and 300
edible seeds. Fifty are reckoned among
the cereals and 40 as uncultivated ed
ible graminaceous seeds. Four hundred
and twenty are classed as vegetables and
salads, and 26O are listed among the
tubers.
There are 81 of the onion group and
80 Of arrowroOt From 80 plants sugar
may be obtained in paying quantities.

Care Of the Brood Sow,

During the first two months Of preg-
nancy the sow may have considerable
corn, gradually diminishing the ration
until her food consists wholly of mid
dlings, bran, roots and milk slops, which
will make bone and muscle and put the
animal in the best condition for farrow-
ing. Pregnant sows should be sepa-
rated from other hogs to prevent in
juries which will result in premature
births or dead pigs at farrowing time.
Two pregnant sows may be kept to-
gether until two or three weeks before
the time to have pigs, when each should
have a small, dry pen and a yard in
which to exercise. After the birth of the
young pigs do not feed the SOW until
the second day, then give little thin
slops, gradually increasing the food each
day until in about ten days she is again
on full feed; from then on feed all she
will eat, but not too much of milk-pro-
ducing food, for If the SOW produces
more milk than her pigs can consume
it is apt to cause a caked bag and con-
sequent sickness of the young pigs.

Don't Buy Cheap Grain.

Poultry raisers who do not grow suf-
ficient grain for feeding purposes on
their own grounds are often tempted
to buy inferior grain because it is cheap
Grain sold below the market price is
inferior in some respect and to feed
1t to poultry simply means that you are
forcing them to do lot of work in
the way Of digestion in order to OBJ
tain very poor results. The organism
Of a fowl is delicate and the sooner 1t
Is understood that poor, tainted or i'm
proper food is as injurious to poultry
as to human beings the more readily
will we understand why poultry raising
does not pay. The only way to make
the industry profitable is to study the
needs, the likes and dislikes of your
fowls and treat them accordingly. Treat
them as sensitive, delicate living things,
not as inanimate objects to be stuffed
with any food which happens to be
handy, or left half starved, as the mood
selzes you. The quality Of the food is
sure to be reflected in the flavor of the
eggs and the meat Of the fowls, and
eggs from hens fed on poor or musty
food will not keep any length OF time.

LOngeYi 70 Swine.

Most hogs are taken to the slaughter
house at an early age and hence we do
not know very much from actual expert
ence in regard to the longevity of swine.
A case is just reported of SOW belong
ing to Taylor Bros, Of Lynchburgh.
Tenn, that died recently at the ad-
vanced age of 4S years. She was of the
large-boned Berkshire breed, was chol-
era proof, had never been sick and had
raised over 800 pigs, from which enough
had been realized to buy good farm
She was buried on the farm and monu-
ment erected to her memory. Some peo-
pie argue that the vitality OF the hog
Is greatly impaired by continuously
breeding from young sows. Generally
a SOW is allowed to have a litter Of pigs
when she is one year old and at three
years she Is fattened and sent to market
and younger sows are again used for
breeding. 1t may be that this breeding
from young sows weakens the vitality
and invites the inroads Of that terrible
malady, hog cholera, which annually
takes from the farmers millions and mil
lions of dollars worth Of property.

Look Out for Plum Rot.

Plum rot is a disease that requires
careful attention to keep 1t in check
and now, while the trees are bare of
foliage, is the time to give them atten-
ton. Plum growers have noticed that
the decayed fruit hangs to the twigs
tightly during the winter, and 1t is from
this decayed fruit that an abundant
crop of spores are borne in the early
spring ready to attack the leaves and
young fruit as soon as 1t appears Re
move all decayed fruit from the trees
now and in the early spring, before the
buds swell, wash the trees thoroughly
with a solution of lye or sulphate of
copper; the solution Of lye Is made by
dissolVing eight cans of concentrated
lye in fifty gallons Of water. The
copper solution is made by dissolving
two pounds Of copper sulphate in fifty
gallons of water. When the color shows
plainly In the bloom buds wash the trees
with a weak solution of Bordeaux mix
ture, repeating the treatment as soon
as the bloom was fallen. All washing
and spraying should be thoroughly done,
using spray pump for the work.

Another Close Season for Deer.

1t is reported in Montpelier that bill
has been drafted and will be introduced
next week, making another close season
for deer for term of years, The senti-
ment of the legislature has been tested
and seems favorable to such measure.
There is a feeling that if the people of
Essex county should desire an open
season it will be granted. The bill
which has already been drafted does not
contemplate closing the present season,
but will take effect in 1899. 1t also con-
tains a provision to prevent running deer
with dogs, making it legal to shoot any
dogs known to be running deer. This
part of the measure will be practically
the present Maine law on the subject.

Good Goods, Wen Advertised.

Going the rounds of the press is an
item stating that the Royal Baking Pow
der company is the largest advertiser in
America. OF course the business itself
must be an enormous one to Justify so
great an expenditure in publicity. There
is no fallacy more dangerous than that
success can be gained by advertising an
article of Indifferent merit. But, given
an article of the highest quality like
Royal Baking Powder, which when the
housekeeper has once used she finds il
she desires the best food she cannot dc
without, then the greatest measure OF
success is attained by keeping it con
tinuously before the public. Great merit
and good advertising are. both essenta
to make product great success. ThC

second, and the result is apparen
throughout the land. The Royal com
pany believe that there is no medium
for advertising like the newspapers
