Life Saved by Swamp-Ro
The Great Discovery That Cures Kid
ney and Bladder Troubles.

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the discov-
cry made. Doctor Kilmer. the eminent
physician and scientist, after years OF
study and research, and after test ON
test that never varied in the grand re-
suit announced the discovery of Swamp
Root. which has proven itself most
wonderful cure for all diseases Of the
kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such
remarkable success in curing kidney and
bladder diseases, it has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure Of blood
diseases. rheumatism liver and stomach
troubles and in the regulation and cure
OF all uric acid troubles.
Swamp-Root has been tested in 70
many ways. in hospital work, in private
practice. among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief. and has proved SO sue
cessful in every case, that a special ar

oREGoN's TIRE BILL.
Long Step Toward the Securing Of
Good Rouds and Their Per-
mnnent Preservation.

Though the wide-tire movement
moves slowly, it is very gratifying to
know that it does move, at least, in
spots. One of these favored spots is
the enterprising state of Oregon,
which has passed the following bill:
Bates bill, to encourage the use
of wide tires on wagons, which has
passed with only one negative vote.
reads as follows:
That from and after the first day
of January, A. ID. 1900, the county court
or county board of each county within
this state is hereby authorized to make
rebate each year for four years, on
the road tax of each person within its
county who shall own and have in hab-
itual use on the highways of this state
wagons or other vehicles for the trans
portation of freight and other heavy
articles the tires of which are not less
than three inches in width, Of 81 for
each wheel of such vehicle; and. pro-
vided, further. that the owner of each
vehicle having tires of not less than
four inches in width, upon which there
is difference of at least eight inches
in the length of the front and rear axle,
so constructed that the front and rear
wheels will not come in contact with
the same road surface While the vehicle
is moving in a straight line, shall re.
ceive, in addition to the aforesaid re.
bate, further rebate for four years in
his or her road tax as aforesaid, of 80
for each vehicle OF this class for each
and every year during said period that
said vehicle is habtually used upon the
highways of this state
This bill promises to induce farmers
TO do, in voluntary way, what com.
pulsory bill would force them to do
unwillingly. 1t is a well-understood
fact that if few wagons in each local
ity are fitted with wide tires, they will
serve as most potent object lesson.
Oregon has taken long step toward
the securing of good roads and in
keeping them good.

LITTLE DAIRY POINTERS.

If the butter is too soft feed the COW
some potatoes.
If the butter is mottled work II a
little after salting.
Whitewashed stables mean fewer
flies and more milk
Stringy milk can be cured by feed
ing the COW clean hay.
Wash all the milk vessels with cold
water before scalding.
Crosses are usually better for farm
ers than pure breeds.
Whenever possible test the cows
milk before buying her.
A COW that tests below three per cent.
is not worth keeping,
Many dairymen like an ounce OF salt
to the pound of butter.
Cows and horses should not be al
lowed in the same pasture.
Richer feed does not mean richer
milk; it means more milk.
Do not wet your hand when milking;
if you do you favor the milk.
You waste rs per cent. of your butter
in summer by not using separator.
Heating milk to 100 degrees Pasteur-
ICES it. Stir it continually while hot.
If the butter takes too long to come
add one TO two fresh cows to the dairy.
Adding hot water to cream while
churning is the worst of all practices.
When the butter is poor do not blame
the COW. Blame your own want Of
skill.

EARLY GARDEN WORK.
PIov the Soil Deep and Thoroughly
and Apply Manure ThntIs
Evenly Rotted.

1t is essential that the soil of the
garden be rich TO have early crops and
tender vegetables 1t should be a loan
and be well drained so that it will dry
out readily. warm up early and be cas-
lily prepared in good time for the re
eeption Of the seed.
If quick termination of the seed is
secured the soil must be in a good tilth
so that the seed will come in close con-
tact. as with all seeds certain amount
of heat and moisture are essential to
termination and contact with the soil
is necessary if good growth is to be
maintained.
Plow deep and thorough and then
work into good filth. When manure
is applied, have it thoroughly rotted
and fine and then incorporate well
with the soil
Applying fresh coarse manure Is in
advisable, because it increases the la
Dor of preparing the soil in good
tilth, il contains more or less weed and
grass seed that make the work of cul-
tivation more difficult, and the plant
food not being in an available condi-
tion. cannot be used by the growing
plants. Rather than use coarse, fresh
manure, II will be better to purchase
and use commercial fertilizers.
Wood ashes and poultry manure can
,early always be used to good ad-
vantage in the garden, especially as a
top dressing, and with some crops, like
radishss and lettuce, rotten chip
manure from the wood pile can be used
to an advantage. When either of these
is used good plan is to prepare the
soil in good condition for the recep-
tion of the seed and then apply these
as a top dressing, working we'll into
the surface with a good garden rake.
Poultry manure being concentrated
fertilizer, should be applied carefully,
as too much will burn the plants and
prove detrimental.
Some crops, like onions. lettuce.
radishes beets and the early varieties
of peas. may be sown as soon as the
soil in the garden will work readily
Into a good filth, then later paintings
can be made on through the season.

Hauling shocked corn fodder or cane
from the fields is a hard and tedious
job where the hauling is done with a

Then, too, the tearing down of the
