A Dentists Advice,

Toledo, Ohio, Jan. 25th.-Mr Harry L.
Lewis, Dentist, GOT Sumit street, this city,
says: Il certainly advise anyone no matter
how severe they may have Kidney Trouble
to take Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Il was troubled with Kidney Disease for
several years and Dodd's Kidney Pills cured
me. l had used many so-called remedies
without any benefit. Four months ago, l

Bile and must say that almost gave up hopes
of ever getting any better. Through a
friends advice | purchased six boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
"At first could see but little benefit, but
after two weeks, could see an improvement.

and pains il my back were very severe.

Growth of Trees.

In his last annual report Prof. E. W.
Hilgard director of the California eX-
pertinent station. calls attention TO the
importance of examining into the ma
Lure of the subsoil Of the proposed Or
chard site. He says:
Few persons can have an idea Of the
extent TO which the planting of or
chards on shallow soils underlaid by
hardpan or heavy clays has caused pc
cuniary loss, often almost ruin, to old
timers as well as to newcomers to the
state. Every few days there come let

branches having the "die-back," and
asking about the means of relief. We

to the effect: Examine your subsoili"
In nine cases out of ten it is either
hardpan or an impervious clay sub

More rarely it is layer of coarse sand,

moisture from below; sometimes it is
the rise Of the bottom water which
causes disease Of the deeper roots, and
also starves the tree. Almost invari-
ably the question is asked: What fer

of any kind will remedy the difficulty;

is tenfold more needful, because of the
critical Importance Of the subsoil, over

already explained. The irrigator who
pays so dearly for his water is doubly
interested in 1t, ard ought always to
know how long it takes water to soak

Growing Medicinal Plants.

The extensive imports of leading
drugs, exceeding 100000 annually,
have led the department Of agriculture
to study the possibility of profitably
producing some of these at home. The
cultivation of golden SEAL snake root
and similar native drug plants, which
are becoming exterminated in the wild
state, has been begun on a small scale.
The lelaves of Plants like stramonium
cannot be produced profitably unless
grown where land and labor are cheap.
Experiments in curing leaves with arti~
ficial heat gave promising results.

Severe Root Pruning Favored.

Although the horticultural of the
Georgia experiment station declines to
make any positive statement concern
ing the advisability of severe root prun-
ing when planting young trees, he says
that he is fairly satisfied that peach trees
from which the roots have been large
ly cut off will live and flourish In Geor-
gia even in stiff clay and under adverse
weather conditions. The same state
ment may also be made of apple and
cherry trees. In some experiments
made the last two. years he found that
the root-pruned trees made fewer, deep
er, larger and more robust roots. These
roots penetrated 17h inches, against
91a inches for the roots Of unpruned
trees. g., az
