Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.

by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild

WHEN THE BEES STING.
Simple Household Remedies That Are
Helpful to Reduce Swelling
and Relieve Pain.

AS the sting of bee is considered
to be acid, an alkali should be en-
ployed to relieve it. Ammonia or
soft soap would therefore be good
application.
In an emergency any of the fol-
lowing might be helpful to reduce
swelling or to relieve pain: Vinegar,
olive oil, raw onion, paste made of
clay and water, or -four and water,
or salt and water, tobacco juice, tine
ture of arnica, honey or laudanum.
If person be not exceedingly
nervous. and eXcitable, cold water
applied constantly to the wound will
be a good remedy.
Bee stings are exceedingly danger
Gus to some people. A well known
gentleman was stung by a bee near
the base of the brain, and the poison
killed him in a few minutes in spite
of heroic remedies.
A bee sting about the face is liable
to produce large swellings, and they
have been known to tester and
threaten blood poisoning in few
hours.
Little children are apt to wander
about in the weeds where bee gums
are located. 1t is well to keep in
mind these and other household rem
edies in such instances of bee sting

And rather than go above 16 or 10

The craze just now is for the round

farmer who expects to build silo
would better build square frame
with rounded corners, for the follow

A square wood silo with ribs or
girts around it horizontally, lined up

Observations and Experience of an

SOLID EARTH ROADS.
Under Favorable Conditions They
Are the Most Pleasant for Driv-
ing and Best for Horses.

Prof. Charles II. Pettee, Of the New
Hampshire agricultural college, says:
An earth road is one surfaced with
a large per cent. of earth, which may
be sand, clay, hardpan, loan, or a
mixture of some of these. A very
common idea of an earth road is one
surfaced with the natural material
where the road is built. This de-
scription, though generally charac-
teristic, does not give the true dis
tinction between these and gravel
ones and may convey an entirely
wrong impression. The true distinc-
ton lies in the predominance of
earth over rock or the reverse in the
surfacing material. Again, it will be
seen that the gravel road is inter-
mediate between the earth and the
macadam and that there is no abso-
lutte line separating the earth from
the gravel or the gravel from the
macadam. The latter statement will
appear evident if we consider that it
makes no difference whether the
stone for a macadam road has been
prepared by a stone crusher or
broken by the processes of nature
and deposited in gravel banks during
the glacial epoch.
The earth road, under favorable
conditions of moisture and repair,
is the smoothest, most elastic, and
most pleasant for pleasure driving
of any in existence. 1t is safest for
horses feet and, where the natural
soil is favorable, is by far the cheap
est both as regards construction and
repair. On the other hand, if it is
an ideal summer road, it is reason
ably sure to be muddy and rough for
perhaps two months in the spring
as well as during the following heavy
rains at other seasons. In short, its
perfection for all seasons is appar-
emily impossible and it depends upon
constant, though inexpensive, atten-
ton to minute repairs for its favor
able condition during a limited sea-
son.
1t thus appears that, if we aim at
durability, nothing less than a body
of rock will keep us up out of the
mud in the spring; that this will
render the surface too dry for COM
fort and durability during the sum-
mer, and that the more expensive
and more perfect the surface con-
structed upon this foundation, the
more expensive and more difficult
the matter of repair. In the city
sprinkling has given greater durabil-
ity and comfort to the macadam sur
face, and the heavy expense for con-
struction and maintenance can often
be easily borne. In the country these
favorable conditions are usually alb
sent. Some have attempted to find in
the gravel road the safe middle
course between the earth and the
macadam. They do not, however, APP
pear to have wholly succeeded.
Smoothness, elasticity, freedom from
dust, low cost and cheapness of main
tenance seem to be thus far more
or less incompatible with durability
and constancy throughout the year.

CORNER OF THE SILO.

that occurs during the hot weather,
when the sllo is empty. And this, I
think, is a strong point in favor of
the frame silo. L have learned of
round silos that went to wreck, like
an old barrel, in the dry weather. In
the Wisconsin bulletin No. SO the
writer says he visited a number of
stave silos that were badly damaged
and wrecked in this drying-out proc
ess and by the wind. In my judg-
ment this wrecking process would
be worse in silo where the slaves
had been spliced, for they must be
made weaker in splicing the slaves.
