The Preachers Evidence.

Roland, ILL.,, June 27.-Diabetes has
80 long been looked upon as an in.
durable form Of kidney disease that
a sure cure for 1t must rank as one Of
the most valuable medical discoveries
Of the age. And every day brings
forth fresh evidence that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills will cure diabetes. Inn
portant evidence in their favor is CIV
en- by Rev. Thos. P. Norman. the we'll.
known Baptist minister here. Mr.
Norman says:
Il had all the symptoms of bad
case of diabetes and received SO much
benefit from the use Of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills that 1 cheerfully recommend
them to anyone suffering from that
dread disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills
will cure the worst form of diabetes"
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure
diabetes. one Of the final stages Of
kidney disease. All the earlier stages
from backache to rheumatism are
naturally much more easily cured by
the same remedy.

Points on Farm Drainage.

Summer is the time when drainage
work can be best done, as at this time
of year there is least water in the soil.
The presence of too much water al
ways interferes with the digging and
the work of leveling, though water
sometimes acts as a spirit level and
helps to indicate levels. There are
many fields that can be drained at a
very small cost, especially where the
land is somewhat porous, but whether
the land be porous or not, the man
that does the work should be an eX-
pert, at least in the matter OF finish
ing the bottom of the ditch. Any man
can plow out the ditch and any man
can shovel out the dirt, but the level
ing of the bottom cannot be left to
any man that comes along. In addi'
ton to having skill, he must be hon
est, for the employer cannot watch the
workman at every point; and ii any OF
the work is sighted 1t is likely to
make the effectiveness of the drains
less than they should be. This is es.
pecially the case on land that is near
ly level. In all cases the survey of the
land should be very carefully made,
and for this purpose a civil engineer
should be employed, unless the drain
Is short one with good deal of fall
Many and many drain has been put
in by guess or by the measurements
of the eye, and the owner has then
failed to reap the benefits from it he
expected. Sometimes there have been
| imperceptible depressions, where the
silt from the passing water has accum-
ulated and rendered the drain useless
in few years. We have heard of
long system of tile having to be torn
put to discover these clogged portions.
! This should be avoided by correct
building at the start. The tile must
be laid with the utmost care as to

What Limits the Height Of Trees.

What Limits the Height Of Trees.
While the young trees are making
clean trunks so rapidly during the
period OF greatest yearly height growth
they are also making their greatest
annual gains in diameter, for these
two forms of growth generally culmi.
nate about the same time, says Gift
ford Pinchot in report on forest
trees. A little later, IL there Is any
difference, the young forests highest
yearly rate of growth in volume is
also reached. For time these three
kinds of growth keep ON at the same
rate as in the past, but afterwards all
three begin to decrease. Growth in
diameter, and in volume also, IL the
trees are sound, goes on until ex-
IRENE old age, but height growth sinks
very low while the two others are
still strong. For many years before
this happens the struggle between the
trees has not been SO deadly, because
they have been almost without the
means of overlapping one another.
When the end of the period Of princi-
POI hSiBhI 6ioWth 10 hCdShCu thO ~ OOS
are interfering with each other very
little, and the struggle for life begins
again in a different way. AS the
principal height growth ceases, and
the tops no longer shoot up rapidly
above the side branches, the crowns
lose their pointed shape and become
comparatively fat. The chief reason
why trees stop growing in height is
that they are not able to keep the
upper parts OF their crowns properly
supplied with water above a certain
distance from the ground. This dis
lance varies in different kinds Of trees
and with the health and vigor of the
tree in each species, but there Is
limit in every case above which the
water does not reach. The power OF
the pumping machinery, more than
any other quality, determines the
height Of the tree.

The Universal Fruit.

The strawberry is coming to be con-
sidered the universal fruit and called
such, though we must acknowledge
that there are places on the globe
where it will not grow. However, II
has a wider range of habltation than
any other fruit known to Americans.
not excepting the apple. From the
Gulf to British America it is grown
abundantly. 1t is easy to propagate
easy to protect from the cold of win
ter and is easy to transport. 1t Is all
the more popular, as 1t is the first
fruit to appear on our tables in the
spring. Every year the strawberry ap
pears a little earlier in the northern
market, and it looks as il before long
it would be on our tables the year
round. In fact strawberry enthu
siasts are predicting that when the
great international railroad that Is to
connect the United States with the
South American countries is con.
structed, strawberries will be con.
tinually purchasable in the United
States, as the South American sea-
sons run the opposite of ours. This
is a dream very likely to materialize,
as the transportation companies can
be depended on to encourage a trade
of this kinda trade that has always
yielded the railroads a good deal Of
money.

Fresh or Rotted Manure.

There was a time when all advice
given on the manuring of land for al
most ansthing was in favor of apply
Ing "well-rotted' manure. 1t had been
observed toat the results from such
manure was very good, especially
when the results were judged few
months after applying. But in time
the chemists took hold of the ques.
ton and examined manure both at
time OF its being made and successive
" month By month for year. Both
the volume vas considered and the
amounts of fertilizing matter left in
the manure at the various times OF
analysis. 1t was proved without con
tradiction that in the course of year,
even under good conditions, tho ma
pure pile decreased In size fifty per
cent, and that the manurial contents
decreased from 80 to 40 per cent.
There was no. only loss of fertility,
but of humus, which seemed to be
burned up in the chemical operations
going on. We know from other scien.
tifc Investigations that these chemical
changes are constantly going on in
dead matter, whether vegetable or ami.
NAL. We further know that the humus
Is one of the most valuable elements
entering into the value Of the manure
pile.
The cid idea of composing was a
good one, but we have now an i'm
Crovement on that idea in the quick
application of all manure to the land,
as iii that way the land gets the most
benefit out of it. We are gradually
awaking to the fact that the land needs
to be improved physically as we'll as
in other ways, and this is somewhat
new fact In the minds Of American
farmers. By putting the manure into
the land as soon as made, we get the
full benefit of its mechanical effects.
We now look for the influence the ma
nure is to have in a course of years
rather than its immediate effect as
seen during the season Of its appiica-
ton. 1t should be remembered that
one of the chief reasons for the use
of barnyard manure is now seen to be
the keeping up OF the supply OF de-
caying vegetaDie matter in the soil.

Shallow Cultivation.

In all work in the garden it is bet
ter to give shallow cultivation than
deep cultivation after the roots OF the
plants have extended into the bare
spaces between the rows. Before that
time the cultivation may be deep, and
should be deep to get the soil thor
oughly loosened up, so that the roots
of the plants, as soon as they reach
out into this fresh soil, will be able
to strike deep and remain below the
line of the shallow cultivation that
is to follow. II the ground is not
stirred to a good depth at first the
roots will extend along the surface OF
the ground and will be constantly in
terfered with by the cultivator, nc
matter how shallow it may be run
With the proper preparation OF the
ground, and with this deep cultivation
at first, the latter civilizations, though
shallow, will be found to be very ben.
eficial They will not break off the
ends of the roots, but will keep the
soil we'll aerated and thus help to
loosen up the plant food and place ii
in a disable condition. This aeration
of the soil is of far greater import
ance than most of our farmers have
suspected. 1t is far better to cult.
vate often than after long lapses OF
time, as in the latter case the ground
becomes hard, capillary tubes are
formed, and soil moisture is wasted.
