1t has long been claimed that Iia-
betes is incurable, but Mr.. e. ].
Thompson, teacher in the Hinton
school, has pleasing evidence to the
contrary. Mr.. Thompson had Diabe-
ties. He took Dodd's Kidney Pills and
is cured. In a statement he makes
regarding the cure Mr.. Thompson
says:
81 was troubled with my kidneys
for more than two years and was
treated by two of the best doctors in
this part of the state. They claimed
chad Diabetes and there was little to
be done for me. Then | started to
use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what they
did for me was wonderful 1t is en-
tirely owing to Dodd's Kidney Pills
that ] am now enjoying good health
Many doctors still maintain that Di-
abetes Is incurable. But Diabetes is a
kidney disease and the kidney disease
that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure
has yet to be discovered.

Storing Potatoes.

| have found in my experience ON
he farm that it is necessary 10 use
considerable care in the storing OF
potatoes in the cellar if they are to
be made to keep wei throue houL ne
winter and not sprout or rot. The
storing in open bins used 10 be follow
ed by my father when | was a boy,
and the potatoes got a good deal of
sunlight and warmth. The result was
hat several times throughout the win
ter we boys had jobs sprouting the
potatoes. The work is all right. but
the potatoes are reduced in condition
each time they are permitted to
sprout. The moisture that goes out
in the sprouts leaves the tubers soft
and wrinkled. In that condition they
are of little value for eating and of
less value for seed.
There are two things that need to
be looked after in the storing of pota-
toes. One is to keep the potatoes box
ed or barreled tight, so as not to per-
NIT the air to pass through the stor-
age places and draw moisture from
the tubers. The other is to keep the
cellar cool. Under modern conditions
this is more difficult than it was under
the old conditions; for the reason that
many of our farm houses are now
heated by means of furnaces which
greatly increase the warmth in the
cellar. In a case of this kind it is abb
solutely necessary to have a second
cellar beyond the first or have the first
cellar divided into two parts by
double wall that will not permit the
heat from the furnace to warm the
air in the other portion. The windows
from the cellar to the open air must
be fixed to open, so that now and then
throughout tire winter the storage cell
lar may be filled with cool air Po-
tatoes must be kept from sprouting
and must also be kept from losing
moisture. They should be as sound
and hard late in the winter as when
first put into the CELLAR. Y. Hud-

For at least half century men have
been discussing the possibilities in the
application Of electricity to the grow
ing of plants. | saw In an old paper
published before 1850 long article
on some experiments being made In
The application of electricity to grow
Ing plants, and also predictions as to
the future of such a combination.
Within the last fifteen years a great
many experiments have been made
along this line. The students of
agriculture have not, however, put
very much faith In the use of electric
ity in the growing of crops. There
may be, however, more in it than now
seems possible. The experiments
made in the last ten years have oc-
Cured In almost every country of
Europe and America, and from lati-
tudes varying from the polar regions
to the tropics. While the results
have not been altogether favorable,
yet the majority of experiments have
shown decided increase in the speed
with which plants grow when they are
subjected to electrical conditions.
Where electricity has been used in the
growing of plants, there has been
noted increase in the digestible, nit
rogenous matter in seeds, of the sugar
in sugar beets, and of the elements
that produce sweetness in berries.
1t must be realized that most of these
experiments are carried on in green
houses and very little in the open
fields. Several of the late writer's on
electricity in it's relation to agricul-
ture figure out that in the experiments
up to this time there has been an in
crease of 40 per cent in the crop where
electricity was applied on land of aver
age fertility. The better the land is
cultivated, the more scientifically it Is
handled, and the more 1t is MANFRED,
the greater is the increase per cent
A striking fact Is that on poor soils
electricity does not seem to affect the
plants. This would seem to indicate
that the work of the electricity is to
hasten the preparation of the plant
food. This may be by stimulating the
bacteria In the soil or by stimulating
he energies of the plant in reaching
out after the food. This would be fur
Their borne out by the, fact that there
are some vegetables that cannot en-
dure the electrical treatment unless
they are watered. If watered they
make very rapid increase. Among
the plants thus sensitive are peas, car
rots, and cabbage. There may be
some electrical power in the sunshine,
because it has been discovered In
these experiments that when the cleo
trical treatment is given during a sun
shiny period, the vegetables are dam
aged and the treatment has to be dis
continued during the hot periods on
sunny days.-Charles Comstock, Cass
Co., Mich, in Farmers Review.

FERvENr PRAISE OF NICOTINE.
COL Robert q. InoersoIPs Eloquent
Tribute to Tobacco.

Four centuries ago Columbus, the
adventurous, on the blessed isle of
Cuba, saw happy people with rolled
leaves between their lips Above their
heads were little clouds of smoke.
Their faces we're serene and In their
eyes was the autumnal look of con-
tent. These people we're kind, inno-
cent, gentle and loving.
The climate OF Cuba is the friend
ship of the earth and the air, and of
this climate the sacred leaves were
born-leaves that bred in the mind Of
him who used them the cloudless, hap
py days In which they grew.
These leaves make friends and cele-
brate with gentle rites the vows of
peace. They have given consolation to
the world They are the companions
of the lonely, the friends of the i'm
prisoned, of the exiles, of workers in
mines, OF fellers of forests, of sailors
on the deep seas. They are the givers
of strength and calm to the yexed and
wearied minds of those who build with
thought and brain the temples of the
soul. They tell of hope and rest. They
smooth the wrinkled brows of care:
drive fear and strange misshapen
breads from out the mind and fill the
heart with rest and peace. Within
their magic warp and wool some po-
tent, gracious spell imprisoned lies.
that. when released by fire, doth softly
steal within the fortress Of the brain
and bind in sleep the captured senti-
nels of care and grief. These leaves
are the friends of the fireside. and
their smokelike incense rises from
myriads of happy homes. Cuba is the
smile of the sea.

Alfalfa Growing.

Many sections of the United States
are now growing alfalfa in inn
mense quantities, and the farmers
do not have to think twice as to
how they win succeed with alfalfa.
But this has not always been the case.
Alfalfa growing in any new locality
has always been accompanied by
serious problems that had to be
solved. Even In the states best
adapted to it, it was at first destroyed
by over-pasturing it, the ranchmen
supposing that it would stand the
same severe pasturing as buffalo
grass. 1t took some time for each To-
cality to learn that there were certain
things that had to be considered in
the successful growing of alfalfa.
