HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill . bottle or common glass with
your water, and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition Of the kidneys;
II it stains your linen it is evidence OF
kidney trouble; too frequent desire to
pass it or pain in the back is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out Of order.
What to do.
There is comfort in the knowledge SO
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheuma-
tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder, and every part Of the urinary
passage. It corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it, or
bad effects following use of liquor, wine
or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day. and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
ressing cases. If you need medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.

wonderful discovery and book that
tells more about it, both sent absolutely

DOWN ON COLUMBUS.
II He Had Not Discovered America
the Spaniards Would Have
Had No Trouble.

One of the most delightfully."- humorous as
poets Of our late antagonists is their utter
absence OF a sense of humor. Some Amcr-
can jester having predicted that when the
Spaniards got through with the war they
would repudiate Christopher Columbus for
having ever discovered America, the Madrid
journals are verifying the prediction by as
sorting with truly lberian profundity that
Cristobal Colon has turned out to be the
evil genius of Spain.
1t is evident that if the old mariner had
been content with staying in the Mediter-
ranean and had not gone about bcthering
monarchs to furnish him the means of dis
covering the new world Spain would have
no colonies, and having none she could not
lose them. Its i'll taking the treeks off
H'elander," says the Scotch proverb, and by
the same logic, if it had not been for the
mischievous activity of Columbus Spain
would have been thoroughly guarded against
such disasters as have now befallen her.
But even upon the Spanish method of
reasoning-that Columbus was at fault and
not the ages of plumber and cruelty which
have wiped out the Spanish ownership Of
nearly half the world-our Madrid friends
forget that Columbus gave them three cen.
turtles of squeezing the colonies that fol-
lowed his discoveries in South America, and
four in Cuba and Porto Rico. Inasmuch as
Columbus was thrown into disfavor and
prison while he lived, we should say that
the balance between him and Spain was
still in his favor.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Waiter in n Dilemma.

It was in one of the large downtown res.
taurants that the short little woman and
her tall husband went to dinner one night.
"Will you have oysters?" asked the man,
glancing over the bill Of fare.
Yes" said the short little woman, as she
tried in vain to touch her toes to the floor.
'And, John, want a hassock."
John nodded and, as he handed his order
to the waiter he said: eyes, and bring q
hassock for the lady"
"One kassock" asked the waiter, with
what John thought more than ordinary in

the waiter did not 60, but brushed the table
cloth with towel and rearranged the ar
ticles on it several times, while his face got
very red. Then he came around to Johns
side and, speaking sotto voce, said: Say,

have the hassock boiled or fried?'-Chicago

is so soft that the broad-tired wagon
sinks into the ground to any consid.
cradle extent, the draft is so heavy
that hauling is almost impossible.
On roadbeds which have a curved
surface. as shown in the accompanying
illustration, broad tires are disad-
vantage, as only the inner surface
touches the edge of the road. and the
leverage produces greater friction at
Il than would be caused by the use of
narrow tires. The wider the tire the
more friction. and the harder the load
pulls. This principle also applies to
roads that are full Of stones and upon
roads which have frozen and uneven
surfaces. Roads which slope to Ole
side or the other cause the same diff
Guilty. This applies to roads about a
farm, and where the land is hilly the
objection is more pronounced. or
course the increased leverage is not so
perceptible unless the surface of the
ground is hard. Just how much differ
ence in draft there is between wagons
with narrow tires and those with
broad on a curved road surface has
never been accurately determined. but
it is considerable. Orange Judd

WATER IN ABUNDANCE.
It II Absolutely Essential to tn
Highest and Most Perfect MIX
Production.

An abundant supply Of water. easily
obtained whenever the cow wants it,
is necessary to the highest milk produc-
ton. About 81 per cent. of milk is wa
ter, and if the cows supply of water
is limited the milk yielded is proper
tionately reduced. 1t pays to furnish
pure, palatable water summer and Win
ter, so that the COW will drink large
quantities, as. within reasonable limits.
an increase in water consumption
brings an increase in the milk yield.
Some dairymen are obliged to water
their cows in summer from artificial
ponds. When this is the case the pond
should be fenced and the water drawn
off into trough by pipe controlled
always be full of clean water. When
cows are allowed to stand in pond
tie water becomes indescribably filthy
and the cows will not drink enough to
maintain full milk yield. Such water
is liable to faint the milk, and some O.
the filth which collects on the cows
body while standing in the water is
very apt to fall into the pail at milking.
This summer we saw dairy cows drink
ing from ponds in which they stood
and in which pigs wallowed. Milk from
a single herd of cows watered in this
way might faint the entire product Of

water, using one of the cheap heaters

There are devices on the market
which keep q supply Of water constant

made with these devices show that
when used the milk yield is increased
over that given by any other method Of
watering.-Western Plowman
