You are in no danger of being sick If
you keep your kidneys well.
They filter your blood, keep it pure
ard free from disease breeding germs
Your other organs may need care, but
your kidneys most, because they do
most.
If you are sick, begin with your kid
neys, because as soon as they are well
they will help all the other organs to
health.
The treatment of some diseases may
be delayed without danger not so with
kidney disease.
Swamp-Root is the great medical tri-
uraph of the nineteenth century; dis
covered after years of untiring effort
and research by the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, DR.. Kilmer, and
has truly wonderful healing action on
the kidneys and bladder.
1t will be found by both men and
women just what is needed in all cases
of kidney and bladder disorders, lame
back, dull pain or ache in the back
gravel, catarrh of the bladder, rheuma.
tism, sciatica, neuralgia, uric acid trou
bles and Bright's Disease, which is the
worst form of neglected kidney trouble
Swamp-Root corrects inability to hold
water and promptly overcomes that un
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to go often during the day and to ge
UP many times during the night.

THE MANURE QUESTION.
COttonseed by Itself, Though a Complete
Manure In One Sense. Not y Well
Balanced Manure for Cotton.

Cottonseed by itself, although In
one sense complete manure, is not a
well-balanced manure for cotton. 1t
contains Q large, excess of nitrogen as
compared with its phosphate content.
Hence the practice of combining acid
phosphate with cottonseed. The kind
of manure to be applied to any given
piece of land must be decided by the
quantities of different kinds of availa-
BILE plant-food present in it. Thus if
it contained an abundance of phos-
pilates, as is the case with some of the
limestone, prairie soils of Alabama
and Mississippi, it would be useless to
add acid phosphate to fertilizer in
tended for it. But suchia soil by long
cultivation might be deficient in avail.
able nitrogen, and then heterogeneous
manure, as cottonseed.' might be APP,
piled freely with very profitable re-
suits. Hence we conclude that cotton
seed may be used in large or small
quantity according as the available
content of nitrogen in soils is less OIL
greater. Investigations have shown
that nitrogen is one of the first con
stituents of soils to be exhausted by
cropping. Hence old lands may re
ceive' large quantities of cottonseed t.
advantage. Very rich soils, such a,
good alluvials soils, will be injured by
large applications of cottonseed, the
effect being late maturity and eXces
| sive growth of weed. If applied t.
such land it must be in combination
with disproportionately large quaint
ties of acid phosphate. On very poo
land as much as twenty to thirty bush
els of cottonseed may be applied to thu
acre in combination with moderate
application of acid phosphate. o.
medium lands ten bushels with an or
binary application of acid phosphate
will supply sufficiency of nitrogen
When meal is substituted for whole
seed 100 pounds of meal is about TIL
equivalent of ten bushels of Seed

GOVERNOR T. C. FLETCHER.

Hon. Thomas C. Fletcher. the noted
war Governor of the State of Missouri.
is great friend of Pe-ru-na. He writes:
The Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co., Columbus,
Ohio:
Gentlemen-For years l have been
afflicted with chronic catarrh, which
has gone through my whole system, and
no one knows the torture and misery |
have passed through. My doctor has
prescribed various remedies, and have
never found any relief until was per-
suaded by friend to use DR.. Hartman's
Pe-ru-na. After the use of one bottle |
feel like a new man. 1t also cured me
of dropping I had in my throat, and
built my system up generally. TO those
who are suffering with catarrh take

medicine. Very respectfully.

STABLE MANURE.
The Value of Stable Manure for the Cotton
Field Consldered-Th Better
Way to Apply It.


Stable manure is similar to cotton
seed, containing an excess ot nitro
gen as compared with its content of
other materials. 1t may, therefore, be
substituted in place of cotton seed.
Estimating stable manure as weighing
50 pounds to the bushel, two bushels
of stable manure would be equivalent
to one bushel of cotton seed As the
weight of stable manure is very var-
able, however, no absolute ratio be-
tween it and cotton seed can be given.
Where one has both cotton seed and
stable manure to apply to land, it is
better to apply them mixed or in COM
bination rather than apply each sep
arately. When acid phosphate is to be
applied in combination with them, it
may be mixed with them previous 10
the scattering in the drill, or strewed
on them after they have been placed in
drill; the latter is, perhaps, the better
plan, as it is rather difficult to get the
phosphate mixed uniformly with the
seed and manure, or to keep it thus
mixed. The above plan of applying the
seed, manure and phosphate is prac.i.
cable not only for cotton, but for all
crops which are planted on beds or
raised surfaces. 1t is not applicable
in the case of upland corn, which
should be planted below the general
| surface or in water-furrow. In its
case the manure has to be applied at
planting time or in siding furrow af-
terward. But corn-land may at any
time after this have the rows run off
and the land bedded with scooters. AT
planting time these low beds may be
reversed and the seed planted in the
new water-furrow after it is freshened
up. Any land broken during February
if run together by heavy rains should
be narrowed, to break crust, admit air
and allow chemical changes to go on
in the soil. 1t is thought the opening
up of the soil by plow and harrow that
the unlocking of the locked-up sup,
4 plies of plant-food in the soil Is
brought about. 1t is important to un
lock now as much as possible of this
food that it may be ready for spring
and summer crops.-Southern Guilt

HE DID NOT HAVE IT.
How q Jeshing Judge Sailed Down
u Delightfully."- Fresh
Young Man.

William Lightfoot Visseher tells this char
acteristie storyof Hon. Isaac Parker, famous
as the terrible judge at Fort Smith, Ark,
who probably sentenced more men to be eE'
ecuted than any other judge that ever lived
This was not, however, because he was SO
unrelentingly severe, but because he had
the hardest and most numerous lot of GRIM
inals to deal with that ever came within the
jurisdiction of such an official. One day
when there was an unusually large batch Of
culprits to be sentenced, the judge looked
compasisonately over his spectacles at one
young scamp, and said:
I'm consideration of the youth and in.
experience of this prisoner shall let him of
with fine of $50"
Before the Judge had done speaking thu
very fresh young man coolly stretched hin
right leg and ran his hand into his trousers
pocket on one side, remarking nonchalantly
as he did so:
That's all hunky, judge; I've got that
much right here in my jeans"
"And one year in the pententiary," con
cluded the Judge. Then looking over at the
convict in a quizzcal sort of way, he added:
"Do you happen to have that in your jeans?

HERE AND THERE.

Laying hens require more water
than those not laying, and in winter
when the water freezes it should be
given warm and often.
1t is the comfortable COW which
fills the pail with milk and the milk
with butter fat. There are some
things which can be remembered
with profit.
LESS capital is required, smaller
amount of land necessary and the
profits greater in "all the year round
raising poultry than any other farm
product. But proper food is essential.
Juicy muttons are not grown on
bare pastures, and if our farmers will
realize this we shall speedily have
more good mutton in our market
stalls, and there will be a better profit
in their production.
Every home should have both u
flower and vegetable garden but those
who depend on stores that carry few
seeds as side issue are almost sure
to meet with disappointment and
abandon gardening altogether because
of the failure to secure good results.
For ewes about to drop their
lambs the best food is none too good.
Give them hay, with a few roots,
every day, if they are at hand, and
some wheat bran if it seems to be
needed to keep them lii proper condi-
ton.
Expense without profit will eat mp
any business, but expense with prof.
table results amounts to nothing.
Feeding for eggs in winter is bound to
make additional expense, but if you
get the eggs the increased expense
will be well compensated for.

No one should fail to hear Professor J. Frank Touche at the Public School Hall next week. He is aa elOcutionist of the greatest merit and will both entertain and instruct all who hear him.
 Prof. J. c. Wasson. of the Phoenix High School, delivered his popular lecture on the Hawaiian Islands to the pupils of the Territorial Normal School , at Tempe on Sunday, the sth instant.
 The attendance at school now is quite regular, and large for this season. The average for this. the first two weeks of this month. is not far from l60.
 The net proceeds of the recital to be given by Professor Touche in the Pulp lie School Hall next week will go to the purchase of books for the school library. The people should patronize the entertainment liberally for not only will they get the worth of their money in entertainment. but they will add something to the library fund also.
 Phoenix is to have an annex to her high school building. It will cost 5000 and give the much needed addi- tional room and be an ornament to the city.
