Old Mans Secret,

Alpena, Mich, Sept. Especially
Seventy-five years of age but hale
and hearty is Mr.. Jerome X. Four
nier of this place. and to those who
ask the secret of his splendid health
he gives the good advice, use Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
When asked for his reason for so
strongly recommending the Great
American Kidney Remedy, Mr.. Four
nier related the following experience:
II recommend Dodds Kidney Pills
because they cured me of Diabetes.
l suffered with my kidneys for long
time, and suffered terribly from those
Urinary Troubles that are so general
among aged people.
'Then l started to use Dodd's Kid.
ney Pills and eight boxes OF them
cured my Kidneys, regulated my wa
ter and made me feel like a hearty
young man"
Dodd's Kidney Pills make the old feel
young because they make sound
kidneys. Sound kidneys mean health
and health is the other name for
youth.

The difficulty in this instance ap
pears'to be caused by the great length
OF. one-half-inch pipe. The correspon-
dent does not give particulars enough.
He should mention approximately the
amount of fall that there is and also
how much he requires. AS it is, l
can only calculate roughly the amount
OF fall and guess at the amount of
water he requires. From my under
standing of the question, l have cal
culated the total fall to be about thir-
ty-six feet, although in making that
ejaculation l had to assume certain
things-for instance, the character of
the pipe nsed-whether smooth or
rough. At any rate if an inch pipe
is substituted for the one-half-inch
pipe in the first seven hundred feet,
the amount of flow would be three
gallons or more per minute instead of
three-quarters as at present. The cor
respondent states that an ordinary
pail is filled in four minutes with the
present arrangement.-J. B. R.

The presence of an unusual number
of seed balls on potatoes indicates
that the season has favored the set.
ting of the true fruit or seed Of the
potato. We have been growing the
potato from tuber cuttings so long
that we now look upon the tuber as
the seeds whereas it is really spe
cies of stem cutting. It is very likely
that this method of propagation has
discouraged the development of flow
ers and seeds. AS rule, our pota
toes flower freely, but rarely do they
set. much seed. This potato ball, then,
is the product of a fertility blossom.
If one wishes to secure new varieties
of potatoes, the thing to do is to plant
the seed found in these balls. Each
seed will produce a new kind differing
slightly or greatly from every other
sort.
