L. E. Reeves, a Justice of the Peace at that
place, has written a letter recommending,
"I think Dodd's Kidney Pills can'tbe beat

The local J. P. Mr.. E. B. Cox agrees with
his brother Justice on this point for he says:
Il had a bad case of Kidney Trouble and
great distress. l bought six boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and after 1 had used threa
boxes L was all right. I am as well as ever,

what it was that had cured me so satisfac-
torily and quickly and they all speak highly
Of Dodd's Kidney Pills"
No one disputes this unanimous verdict.

An Old Still.

Out at Minot they are trying to fig
ure out who has been making moon
shine whiskey there. While making
excavations in the cellar of a house
which was to be enlarged, workmen
came across a complete outfit for dis
tilling. The outfit gives evidence of
having been out of use for a long
time. The structure has been used
as a hotel since it's erection in 1888.
The original owner was Carl Torben-
son, who occupied it for over five
years. He was succeeded by Chas.
Robbins, who was in turn succeeded
by C. C. Montgomery. After the death
of Mr.. Montgomery Mayor Roach
came into possession of the hotel and
and it has since been leased, but for
some time past has been idle. Who.
ever put in the distillery evidently
found it inconvenient to move it when
he shut down operations, and it will
be ingloriously consigned to the junk
pile without ceremony and without
epitaph.
Prices Not High.
The highest priced grass fed cattle
from the western range so far this
season, was a carload of mree-year~
old steers from Dickinson, which sold
on the Chicago market. at S4.65 per
hundred live weight. A year ago
the same quality of beeves would
have sold for $3.50 to Sc. Cattle ship
ments are being held back with the
expectation that prices will be better
a little later. A good many mutton
sheep shipments are also being held
back owing to the prevailing low
prices in Chicago the past two weeks.

The Hot water Cure.

Hot water is not only a relief
for many ills, but from its quick
application many cures are effect
ed. 1t is so easy 10 obtain hot
water in these days OF gas ranges
that many a severe illness may be
averted if the application is only
given in time,
There is nothing so promptly
cuts short congestion of thelungs
or sore throat as hot water. The
great thing is to apply it in t me
and then to be thorough in The
application.
For a toothachc or NEURALGIA
hot water will usually afford
prompt relief. A towel folded
several times and dipped into
scalding hot water, and then
Wrung out, should be laid upon
the painful part. The same treat.
ment acts like magic in applying
the heated towel to the stomach
for collie.
Headaches most always yield
to the simultaneous application
of hot water to the feet and back
of the neck.
A soft pack is the most effective
method known for alternating iu-
flammation and getting rid of
irritation in rheumatic govt.
To afford relief every night
piece of flannel should be applied.
This flannel should be saturated
in brine and then wrapped around
the affected Joint or joints. The
flannel should then be covered
with rubber or oil-silk btndage.
Both should b. kept on all night.

IL t very many farmers can
srot get nitrate and muriate, they
must do the best they can with

suggest

800 lbs. c. :. NJ.
500 lbs. kaiuit.

FOR COTTON.
We have often said that ~ our
experience it has not paid us to
buy nitrogc en-. Cotton seems to
get this if the other elements are
properly supplied. Hence, for
this crop use much the same as
for corn, 12-l-5. Mix: o.,
1900 lbs. A. p.
100 lbs. Nitrate.
200 lbs. Muriate.
or
1900 lbs. A. p.

900 lbs. KANT.
These will suit OH the ma iority
Of fields. Each farmer must use
good common sense and iudg.
ment as the varying conitions
demand. 1t is very difficult to
suggest any for ula that willsuit
land that is plowed only three or
four inches. No fertilizer is
worth anything to an. crop with
out water to dissolve it and feed
it to the crop.
Hence the water supply is a
very material point. This very
often changes the whole thing.
We advise the use of certain
amounts and kinds of fertilizers.
The farmer uses them, but fails
to arrange for the necessary
water. He fails, and charges it
up to us as having gwen him bad
advice.
All of our advice along this line
is based upon the supposition
that you break your soil II to is
inches. And when you do that
you can make crop without fer
tilizers and larger crop with
them. Put in all fertilizers shall.
low and as near planting time as
possible. So. Cultivator.

Mixing Fertilizers For
Corn and Cotton.

We haye so many inquiries
about mixing fertilizers for diff
ferent crops and soils that we
wish to say few words of sug-
gestion on that subject.
The color of the soil does not
amount to anything. Corn or
cotton will require the same help
on red or grey land Crops do
not feed on sand or clay, SO tina
we see it is not the clayey or
sandy soil that affects the ferti-
lizer needed. Fertilizers are
us,d simply to increase the avail
able plant food for the I'm mediate
crop on which they are used.
We do not say that all soils are
exactly the same in respect tothe
plant food they contain, but they
ar, very nearly the same. Pre-
vious culture and the rotting Of
vegetable ma:tr and the state
of pulverizat on each do influence
the solubiiity OF the elements of
plant food in soils. And these
may cause some difference in the
kind and quality of fertilizers
needed.
WEAT CORN NEEDS:
Corn requires d good supply of
potash and phosphoric acid and
a very little nitrogen: If the soil
is in good condition, deeply brok-
en- and not leached, it will gen.
orally supply the nitrogen. If it
has been in peas or >lover it will
have plenty.
We need 10 look out for the
phosporic acid and the potash.
Good mixture for corn should
contain 12-H-5.
To get this we mix:
1866 lbs. IA to Is per ct. Acid.
$50 lbs. Nitrate OF soda.
200 lbs. Muriate of Potash.
100 lbs. Acid.
100 lbs. Nitrate.
