The way to be well is to pay attention

The way to be well is to pay attention
TO your kidneys.
They are the most important organs
of the body-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys once every three
minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the
Impurities in the blood-that is their
work
Purifying your blood is not a ques-
ton of taking a laxative of physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are al
ready in your blood, causing your pres
ent sickness, it leaves there.
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your
kidneys
That is why boweIcleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kid
neys.
When you are sick, then, no matter
what you think the name of your dis
ease is, the first thing you should do is
to afford aid to your kidneys by using
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the great
Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you affc I'd
natural help TO nature, for Swamp
Root is the most perfect healer and
gentle aid TO the kidneys that is known
to medical science.

FEEDING THE CALF.
Advice Given by PeDnsyIvania
Dairyman Who Has Had Lot
of Experience.

A reader in Pennsylvania, who has
made a business of raising calves, says
never to mix corn meal into the calf's
milk. Nothing will scour calf quick
er. He has tried linseed meal linseed
Jelly, rennet and even melted butter in
feeding calves. The keynote of success
is temperature. Have your milk from
9S to 100 degrees Don't give heifer
a spoonful of corn meal until she be-
gins to give milk. Leave the calf with
the cow until it is three days old, and
then give one-half new and one-half
skim-milk, heated to 90 degrees. Give
this for several days and then put it on
skim-mill1. heated to 9s degrees, until
weaned. and never overfeed. He uses
calf feeder with a rubber tube for
sucking This, he says, keeps the calf
in better health, as it prevents it from
drinking the milk too fast
If the calf is constipated, lower the
temperature of the milk for one or two
feeds 10 80 degrees. If it scours, run
the temperature up TO 105, for feed
or two. One can regulate the bowels
accurately by the temperature of the
milk. Never mix anything with the
milk. At about four weeks old. give the
calf bran in box, and all the clover
hay ii will eat Don't feed any corn
meal. Try to get it 10 consume all the
rough feed possible. Don't be afraid if
the calf becomes pot-bellied, so long as
the digestion is right. 1t will help the
calf wonderfully to rub it well with
stiff brush or the hand along the spine
and sides once or twice each day. This
sort of massage treatment will surely
help the calf. The four great essentials
in raising a good calf are cleanliness,
temperature of the feed. not mixing
anything with the milk, and not over
feeding.-Rural New Yorker.

Whether early or late runners on

worthy Of consideration. +. A. Riehl

Of bearing the next years crop only
