is necessary for numerous reasons.
One of the reasons is that shade trees
frequently grow so thick in limb that
the inside limbs die, and this makes
the tree unsightly. Moreover, some
trees are so thick that the sod under
them dies, and when the rains come
the ground washes and ruts under the
downpours. Then, too, some limbs
hang so low that the passage of team:

Remarkable Cure Of Dropsy by Dodd's

Sedgwicl, Ark, June 19.-The case
of w. S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical

on record. In this connection his faith
er makes the following statement:
Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs we're swol-
len to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good, and
two or three people said his days
were short, even the doctors, two of
the best in the country, told me he
would not get better. I >stopped their
medicine. and at once sent for Dodd' S
Kidney Pills. I gave him three Pills a
day, one morning, noon and night for
eight days; at the end Of, the eighth
day the swelling was all gone, but to
give the medicine justice, I gave him
eleven more pills. l used thirty-five
Pills in all and he was entirely cured
| I consider your medicine saved my
child's life. When the thirty-ive Pills
were given him, he could run, dance
and sing whereas before he was an

Flies on Cattle.

Last week I heard the owner Of
pedigreed bull tell his men to put
some fly DISCRIMINATING preparation on
the back of the bull, as the flies were
collecting along his back in such
numbers as to make him sore in
very short time. This bull was in a
pen less than a quarter of an acre in
size. 1t may be that he would have
been less affected if he had had the
run of the pasture.
know that flies are hard things to
fight and that the battle is not always
a successful one. I think that many
of our pastures are SO shaped and so
supplied with watering and feeding
places as to encourage the flies. This
is most certainly the case when the
watering and feeding places are at the
same end of the pasture as the shade
that the cattle will seek in the middle
of the day.
Last winter at an Illinois institute
| heard one speaker tell how his pas
ture was planned, with the object of
obviating this difficulty. He had his
feeding and watering places near the
barn, but the shade at the other end
of the pasture. The flies, if they stay
on the cattle, must stay with them
while they are grazing out in the open
pasture toward the shady place. Flies
do not like the sun and wind and
generally leave the cattle before they
get far and return to the feeding
troughs. In this way the cattle are
secured from the attacks of the flies
during most of the day. have not
tried the plan myself, but it looks
feasible.-Frank Kidder, Cass Co., III.
