WOOD ASHES IN ORCHARDS.

The application Of wood ashes to orchard
soils should be more general for the potash
in the u~nleached wood ashes will be very
welcome to the soil particularly II the soil
has had but little fertilizer for a consid-
cradle period. Many fruit growers COM
plain of damage from the use Of wood
ashes but if such has been the case it was
due to a too heavy application close to the
tree. In our work in this direction we
start three feet from the trunk Of the tree
and spread the ashes broadcast out as far
as the branches extend and then work
them lightly under the soil with rake or
harrow if the later can be worked to ad-
vantage. We have one old orchard in sod
on which we used potash in various forms
but largely by means Of the unleached
wood ashes and figure that when the trees
become Improbable because of age, which
will be in a few years, the wood ashes viii
have been paid for by better apples and we
will have a meadow left which will be pro
fitable because Of the ashes used every few
years. 1t will probably be necessary to do
a little reseeding after the trees lave been
removed but this is a ma expense.

1t is interesting to that the first appropria-

free seed abuse-was made in 1888. when Congress
gave township of land in Florida TO Dr. Henry
Perrine. who had accumulated a know.edse OF tls'
tropical plants While the American consul at Cam
peche. Congress believed that he could do meal
calabe good for his country if he had a chance
10 test the raising of such plants in Florida. and
for this purpose the land was granted. The follow
ing year appropriation of $l.e0O was made out OF
the patent fund to be expended by the Commits
sioner in the collection Of agricultural statistics
and for other agricultural purposes"
This appropriation and for the same pur-
poses, made each year until 1Si2. when il was
increased to 5000 followed the next with the
same. ard then made 5000 in 1875. but appro-
priaticn was made in 1886. In 1Sf7 an appropria-
tor of 5000 was made. and this was increased by
500 the following year. dropping to $1,000 in 1S49
and being raised to sa.5oo the following year. In

Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-29

When the kidneys are sick there is
always a warning to tell you of It, and
when the kidneys call for help there is
no time to lose. Kidney diseases are
common and fatal-cause more deaths
every year than any other human ills.
But nine cases out of ten this Is due
to neglect. Kidney disorders are easily
contracted, but just as easily cured
when treated properly and in time.
Common causes of kidney troubles
are colds, fevers, exposure, strains on
the back, poisoning diseases, ana
indulgence in stimulants.
The kidneys are the blood filters, and
when they become sick the blood is
soon laden with impurities which the
kidneys have failed to remove. This
causes backache, stiff, lame and sore
muscles, aching joints, spells of dizzi-
ness, headaches, rheumatic pains,
sleeplessness, nervousness and langour,
weak heart and many other bodily
aches and ills.
Meanwhile the kidneys are fast
breaking down, and from this cause
the urine becomes discolored and full
of sandy sediment; passages are too
frequent and often painful.
Uric acid crystallizes and causes
gravel and kidney stones. The bladder
cannot perform it's natural duties.
Water which should pass off in the
urine collects in different parts of the
body, causing dropsical bloating.
