Kushequa, Pa, Aug. l.--(Special)-ln
this section Of Pennsylvania there Is a grow
ing belief that for such Kidney Diseases
as Rheumatism and Lame Back there Is
ney Pills. This belief grows from such
cases as that of Mrs. NJ. L. Dawson, OF this
place. She tells the story herself a. fol-

II have suffered from Rheumatism for
thirty years and find that Dodd's Kidney
medicine l have ever taken. was also
bothered with Lame Back, and / can only
say that my back hasn't bothered me since

suit would be considered wonderful. il Il

A Tennessee correspondent who has
had considerable experience with cow
pea hay gives the following a6vice to
those interested in this crop:
First break the ground we'll and har-
row thoroughly; then drill peas with
double-row corn drill, going over the
ground twice, thus making the rows 20
to "a inches apart. When this is done
go over ground with a good heavy
drag. This will crush all surace clods
and smooth and compact the surface so
that when harvesting comes the
ground is in much better condition
than it would have been without drag
ging. You will also find that there
will be much less dirt and dust In the
hay.
In harvesting l run the mower in
the forenoon, let lie until the follow
ing day. When the row is well dried
off / run tedder over it, then let II
alone until the following day when
free from dew; then rake and begin
hauling to stack or NOV. This is when
weather is favorable for curing. II
cloudy weather prevails it will take
longer to cure.
AS to the amount of seed sown
set drill to plant one-quarter bushel
at each going-over, making in all one
half bushel per acre. l find this amount
sufficient for a good yield of hay
When sown too thickly the root system
| is not so complete and does not de
velop the bacteria nearly SO well a.
when sown thinner.-Breeders' Ga
zette.

FARMER AND PLANTER.


! make clover hay because 1t is the
most palatable of dry roughage, and
Is almost perfectly balanced ration.
Clover hay is most palatable when
1t is fine and clean. To have 1t fine
we must have q perfect stand, and
since we have learned how and when
to SOW, that Is easy. We all know
either from experience or observation
that poor, thin stand makes coarse,
unpalatable hay.
With q good stand there will be
few weeds and the few that do grow
the first year are clipped along with
the wheat or oat stubble Immediately
after the harvest. This gives us clean
hay the following season.
We grow clover because II has near
~ three times as much digestible pro-
tein as timothy, millet or oat hay, il
cut at the right time. Glover contains
most protein when the plant Is In full
bloom, and II properly cured is then
most palatable. This at least is what
our mich cows say, and they are ex-
cellent judges Of the value of feeds.
Substitute straw for the hay and the
milk flow will at once be affected.
Until we can control the rainfall or
hit upon some practical method Of
putting the hay into the NOW imme-
diately after it Is cut, we can not al
ways have the best of clover hay. We
watch the barometer and the weather
reports. and when they promise fair
weather we run the mower the after
noon of the day before we expect 10
take up the hay.
The next morning as soon as the
surface of the swath is thoroughly
wilted we start the tedder. 1t is diff
ncult to make good hay without the
tedder, for IL the swath is not stirred
the top is burned brown or black, and
the under side Is not cured at all. In
curing, tons of water must be evapor-
atei from the leaves Of the clover.
Water escapes from the plant most
rapidly as the leaves are willing. Sift.
Ing keeps all the leaves whiting. Two
or three hours before It Is dry enough
to 90 to the barn we rake the clover
Into small windrows. At this stage we
lose none of the leaves or blossoms
the most palatable part of the plant.
We prefer, too, that the curing be
finished in the windrow, for then I,
$ cures in the shade-the ideal condi
ton for curing hay II we would pre-
serve the color and flavor. Just be
fore the hay is dry enough SO thai
leaves or blossoms will not be lost II
handling, we put it under cover.
So far as possible the hay Is packed
evenly and closely In tight NOW
never allowing 1t to pile up under thu
hay fork. After NOW has been filled
no more hay should be put on 1t unit
T the first lot has gone through thu
heating period, nor should 1t be in an.
way disturbed. The barn doors ar
kept closed.
When we stack clover we Away
cover with boards, straw, or grass I,
keep on rain. We have not found
practical to put clover in cocks Il

and adds somewhat to the expense o
harvesting.

TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one OF the
most dangerous diseases that medical
men have to contend with, can be pre-
vented by the use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from a cold or from an attack OF
influenza grip, and it has been observed
that this remedy counteracts any tenden-
CIV of these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this remedy
has been used during the great preva-
lence of colds and grip in recent years,
and can be relied upon with implicit
confidence. Pneumonia often results
from slight cold when no danger is
apprehended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and difficulty
in breathing and pains in the chest, then
il is announced that the patient has
pneumonia. Be on the safe side and
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as
soon as the cold is contracted. 1t always
cures. For sale by Shurtleff d Co..

can ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure" A few breaths of
Hyomei through the neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit will check
a cold or the grip at the start, and pre-,
vent serious and lasting illness.
In all catarrhal troubles and diseases of
the air passages, Hyomei has positive
action not possessed by any other medi-
cine or treatment. 1t is pleasant and
convenient to use; simply put 20 drops
of Hyomei in the inhaler and breathe it a
few minutes, four times day. In this
way every particle of air that enters the
lungs is charged with healing balsam
that kills all catarrhal germs, soothes
and allays the irritated mucous men,
brane, vitalizes the blood with ozone,
and makes permanent and complete
cure.
A Hyomei outfit costs only 81, and
contains an inhaler, medicine dropper
and bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts
lifetime and when more Hyomei is
needed, extra bottles can be obtained for
80 cents.

sonal guarantee with every Hyomei out
fit they sell to refund the money if it
