Women are more often afflicted with
kidney disorders than men, but attri-
butte the symptoms to diseases pecu-
liar to their sex, while in reality the
kidneys are deranged. Nervousness,
headache, puffy or dark circles under
the eyes, pain in the back, are signs of
kidney trouble that must not be ig-
nored or serious malady will result.
Foley's Kidney Cure has restored the
health of thousands of weak, nervous,
broken down women. 1t stops irreg-
ularities and strengthens the urinary
organs. It purifies the blood and
benefits the whole system. w. D.

RAILROAD TROUBLES.

One important line of railway trav-
ersing the stock producing sections of
the west paid out to stock shippers over
its line during the month of December
last the sum of $4,000 as damages for
the one item of getting their shipments
Of stock on the market late, and this
when almost superhuman efforts were
made to reach the yards on time. The
entirely possible congestion Of traffic
on these big roads as they near Chica-
go is not as well understood as it should
be- the road in question often having
to deliver as many as GOO cars of live
stock at the yards between 4 o'clock
and o'clock a. N. A broken wheel, a
derailed car, disabled locomotive, may
very easily block the whole road And
the road referred to is only one Of sew
eral which pour their consignments into
the yards at one common point There
would seem to be every reason why the
slaughter of our stock should be better
distributed and not, as now, so largely
concentrated at one point.

STRAWBERRIES AND ASPARAGUS.

There are two things at least which
should find a place on every farm-a
good large strawberry bed and an as
paragus bed. Both are very easy to
get, yet they are wanting on two thirds
of the farms of the country. AS the
time will soon be here to take the nee
essary steps to secure these two things
we again give few simple directions:
A bed containing four rows of straw
berry plants six rods long will furnish
all the berries any family can use both
for eating when fresh and for canning
and preserving. Get good, strong, well
growth and set them early In the spring
two feet apart in the row and four feet
between rows. Select such varieties as
have done well in your neighborhood.
For most of the northwest the Lovett,
Senator Dunlap, Wartield, Havilland,
Clyde and Beder Wood are standard
varieties. The soil should be rich
enough to grow seventy FIVE bushels of
corn to the acre. The bed should be
well cultivated the first year and all
weeds killed. Cover in early winter
with three inches Of clean straw or
hay. Fruit next season, moving all
vines off close to the ground as soon as
the picking season is over; then cult
vate the bed thoroughly with horse
cultivator, leaving strip of plants in
each row about eight inches wide to set
plants for the next years crop. After
fruiting two years pillow up and have
another bed ready to take the place Of
the old one. Change the land on which
you grow berries. The asparagus bed
needs different treatment. A bed by
16 feet will supply large family. The
asparagus bed is permanent thing,
and the older it grows the better it
gets provided 1t is properly cared for.
Asparagus is a very gross feeder, and
the soil cannot be made too rich. A
good way is to dig out the bed to
depth of eighteen inches and fill in with
old bones, some wood ashes and rich
barnyard manure. Cover this with ten
inches Of good soil, set the plants two
feet apart each way and do not cut the
first two years unless you have very
strong old plants to start with. After
that the bed may be cut continuously
from early spring to the time when the
first green peas are ready to pick.
Give the bed liberal coating Of ma
nure every spring after the old stalks
are removed. These two things are
worth $40 year to any farm home.

The Bible is the greatest agricultural
lished. From Genesis to Revelation,
interviewer with all its wealth Of his
tory, prophecy and revelation, with all
it's wisdom, poetry, logic and morals,
we find farm, field, wayside, orchard
and garden ever present as historical
introduced to the perfect man in the
perfect garden and then to the keepers
Of the focks and the herds, the ram
caught in the bushes, the evening meal
at Abraham's tent, then the long code
governing the agricultural and pastoral
the spies, Araunah's thrashing floor
the delightful romance of Boaz and
Ruth in the wheatfelds, the grain deal
in Egypt by the sons of Jacob and the
first recorded successful corner in the
grain market, then the Withholding and
bringing OF the rain by the old proph-
cts, followed by all the exquisite i'm
agery of the Master as he sought to
impress a moral lesson touching the
flowers Of the field, the barren fig tree,
the sower in the field the wheat and
the tares, the man who would tear
down his barns and build greater ones,
the termination of seeds, Gethsemane
with its olive trees, the sheep and the
goats, the lamb the worlds emblem Of
innocence and purity, the ears Of corn
picked on the Sabbath, winding up with
the apocalyptic vision on Patmos, where
the faraway country and the beautiful
city were graced by a tree which bore
twelve manner of fruits. All of its
history, morals and ethics are closely
allied and Incorporated with the earth
and it's products.

take chicken feed prices for it.

This Is the season when, If you are
going to make hotbed, you must be
thinking about doing it. For many
years we have made a sort Of cheap
family hotbed as follows: We take
sheltered spot on the south side Of the
chicken house or some shed, pile up
bed Of fresh horse manure four feet
wide and, say, ten feet long and eight
cen inches deep, well tramped and pack
ed, then make a board frame eight feet
long and three feet wide, eight inches
high in front and fourteen inches wide
at back, so that it will nicely fit and
carry lot of old window sash which
we keep on hand We then throw a
few pals of water on the manure and
cover it with four inches Of good soil,
then put on the sash and let it heat and
steam for two or three days. We then
SOW the seed-radish, lettuce, tomato,
early cabbage, peppers, elephants, pars-
ley and celery, the four first named
taking up most of the room. The seed
will very quickly terminate, and then
the only thing to watch Is to see that
the bed is covered if there comes
very cold snap, to water it properly
and watch that the sash is raised lit
tie on warm days when the sun beats
down too warmly upon it. The rad
ishes will be ready to pull in about
three weeks and the lettuce soon after,
giving these appetizing vegetables at
a very small cost long before they can
be grown in the garden We usually
SOW some lettuce among the radishes,
SO that it can come on as second
crop after the former are pulled. One
can raise all the cabbage and tomato
plants he needs in this way and sell,
besides, several dollars worth to his
neighbors from bed the size referred
to and made as described.

The great trouble with the beef bust
ness today is that it is hard to find a
market for the lower half Of the beef
carcass. The American people are a
sirloin and porterhouse crowd and will
have none of the lower priced and
equally nutritious cuts from the lower
half of the animal If women were
more skilled in the art of cooking
meats and knew how to prepare and
serve these lower priced cuts of meat
in a palatable form, much of the trou-
BILE referred to would be done away
with.

A more general utilization Of the
wind as a motive power on the farms
of all the prairie region would seem to
be possibility in the near future. Up
to date a two or three horsepower
seems to be about the limit, the mill to
do the pumping and the grinding, while
every farm homestead has a hundred
horsepower going to waste on the half
acre inclosing the farm buildings. Sure
ly, if men can impound the big rivers,
reclaim the deserts, build oceanic ca
nails and tunnel the mountains with
railway bores, some way can be discov-
cred whereby the wasted power of the
winds can be captured and harnessed
for practical work An unlimited source
of both light and heat, as well as of mo-
tive power, is Gagged in the fugitive and
fitful winds which, with but slight in
PERMISSION, forever sweep the vast prai-
RE plains of the west. There is great
field open here for inventive genius.

There is one farm animal at least
which bids fair to hold his own in the
matter Of price and profit, and that is
the well bred draft horse. No matter
to how great an extent the automobile
may be utilized for heavy hauling, the
machine can never displace the horse,
for it is only under certain fixed condi-
tons that. the machine is available,
while the horse is adaptable to any and
all conditions. There is today no easier
way to make $3.50 on the average farm
than to have pair of we'll bred three
year-old draft colts to sell each year.
They cost but little if any more to
raise than steer and will be grown
on very much more Of the roughness of
the farm than the steer.

INCIDENTS OF THE RACE.
Thousands Journeyed to MineoIa in
Automobiles and by Train.
[py geleEraph 70 90 Trtbune. !

AIneola, Long Island, Sept 23.-The special
train which left Long Island City at a. m.
was crowded with passengers who came to see
the automobile races Many of the early ar
rivals went to the Garden City Hotel where the
officials had headquarters, in an effort to find out
the best places to see the contest.
Thousands came in automobiles and there was
little sleep for the peaceful suburbanite for the
footing of the horns and the honk-honk of the
engines began long before daylight. Everybody
who owns an automobile seemed to have made
the journey TO the course, and there was a
lineup OF machines on both sides of the roads
below and above the grandstand that reached
for nearly q quarter Of mile.
The name Of DingIey, who drove the Pope
Toledo winning car, is the most popular in the
town tonight. He demonstrated to-day that he
is one Of the most skilful road drivers in this
country. He kept his motor running with the
regularity Of an eght-day clock Dingley started
mechanic IN the factory of the Pope-Toledo
company. Last year he went TO Europe with a
Pope-ToIedo and started in the Gordon Bennett
race, but a broken oiler put him out Of the run
ming the first round.
William K. Vanderbilt, r., stationed a swift
car at the easteTly end OF the press stand for

Last year Mr. Vanderbilt and DR.. Lanehart
made several whirlwind trips to scenes of acct
dents. Yesterday the automobile did not leave
its position until Mrs. Vanderbilt and guests

been cheered at the finish, when it speeded TO
