A trinity of matters have occupied

would be of little interest in the
days following the game of picking

test have been previously disappoint-
ed. With a card, in theatrical par

In regard to commission affairs,
the hearing on Tuesday evening,
when the lords of the railroad service
were present with their retinue, de-
veloped very little beyond a closer
definition of just the point at issue.
The extremes meet at the point where
consideration is given to the ques-
ton whether the commission shall
have power of. initiating any move
ment. For instance, If the commits
sioners after their appointment and
without waiting for some one to
register kick. start in to make a
schedule of rates for beef and onions

man, the railroads are going to make
n howl and say that when some one
registers a kick on any existing rate
1t Is time for the commissioners to
act. The other extreme is represent
cd Ivy those who believe that If just
exactly that power of 'hxing' rates
IS not given the commission the COM
mission law will not be effective. The
question seems to be: Shall the
commission wait for kicks or shall
1t start in to administer remedies
without reference to the people or
the railroads?"

Of Wide Interest,

Breed, Wis, June 26.-Special.-
Chas. Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace
Tor Oconto Co., has delivered judy,
ment that is of interest to the whole
United States. Put briefly, that judg-
ment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best Kidney medicine on the market
to-day"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason
for this Judgment. He says: Last
winter I had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much.
In the morning could hardly straight
en- my back. I did not know what it
was, but an advertisement led me to
try Dodds Kidney Pills. After taking
one box can say that they have done
more for me than l expected as feel
as we'll now as ever did before"
Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease If not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may
develop into Bright's Disease, Dia-
betes, Rheumatism or some of the
other deadly forms of Kidney Disease.

Muck Lands,

Millions OF acres OF muck land still
make up the aggregate of our farming
lands, and in most cases the muck
lands are not being utilized. In some
swamps the muck graduates SLOWLY
into peat, and of course the peat is
Of little value except for burning.
Some of the peat bogs of the United
States comprise thousands of acres
each. The states known to contain
the largest aggregate Of muck lands
are Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin. Michi-
gan, Minnesota. Iowa and Florida. tn
these states the aggregate of muck
lands runs from 1000 to 5000 SQUARE
miles. Even in the state where the
aggregate is only 1000 square miles
the acreage is thus $4,000. This will
give some conception of the magni-
tude of the factor comprised in the
term muck land.''
To-day about 80 of the experiment
stations in this country are devoting
more or less attention to the manage
ment of muck lands. Muck lands have
been formed by the partial decay of
water plants, but these same nlants
have been prevented from completely
decaying by the water that has COW
cred them. Had the air had a chance
to get at them it would long ago
have completed the decay, and the
manurial elements contained in the
plants would have helped to feed new
plants. When drainage has been an
piled to all our muck lands the decav
processes of nature will be facilitated
and it is possible that the time will
come when muck lands and peat lands
will be NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Perry.

Battle with Weeds.

I have always considered the battle
with weeds the principal one for the
farmer to fight on his arabic land.
The more he fights weeds the more
is the ground kept stirred and the soil
water saved for the crop, In the cul-
tivation necessary for the destruction
Of weeds he is at the same time gain
ing a double advantage over the con-
ditions that would grow worthless
plants in the place of valuable ones.
An old farmer looked over my fence
one day and said to me, 81 regard you
as a pretty good farmer, but l have
noticed that there is one crop that
you never seem to be able to grow
successfully" I asked him what it
was, and he replied, 1.-The weed CROP"
was glad to find out that had won
the reputation of being unable to
grow weed crop. really believe
IL is easier to keep down all weeds
than to keep down most Of them. IT
all OF them are kept down there is
feeling that the crop of whatever is
being grown has all the possible ad-
vantage that can be given to it.
