There should be two days sacredly
set apart on every farm for special
work. One day should be devoted to
tree planting, the planting Of trees In
waste hooks and corners all over the
farm, eyergreens on the knolls too bar
rem or too rough for cultivation, viii
lows along the runs and draws, shade
trees at intervals along die highway,
and then another day should be devot-
ed to a general clearing. picking up day
around the homestead. These two days
properly used would DO more to Inn
prove the looks Of the average farm
than any other one thing we know.

A very common mistake which we
notice all over the country Is the ef-

parks in sod ground. planting the
young trees in the tough sod. II It is

park the first thing to do Is to plow the
land deeply and thoroughly fertilize IT.;
then tho trees may be planted, and for
two or three years the land should be
cleanly cultivated, after which Il may
be seeded down. II Is almost impos-

millions Of PIantabIs Acres.

There are millions of acres in the
United States today in private ownership
which are not adapted to farming, but
which would pay a handsome return on
the investment II planted to trees and
systematically cared for as a forest plan
tation When the trees have once reach
ed a period OF growth which. gives them
marketable value, intelligent manage
ment, cutting each year only a portion
Of the timber and allowing for reforesta-
ton, would make such forest plantations
a source OF revenue as long as the country
continues TO be inhabited by men.
The whole forest problem is a big one.
The idea that forest is to be cut over
clean and then abandoned is nothing short
OF ridiculous from a national business
standpoint. II we would begin as a ma
ton today to plant tree in every place
where We cut one down to replant for
ests that have already been destroyed
and abandoned we would not need to fear
a timber famine in the future or the dry
ing up OF our rivers and streams and
the loss Of the water power they supply

Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles
BrattiebOrO Citizen Shows How to Cure

Many people never suspect their kidneys
II suffering from lame, weak or aching back
they think that it is only muscular weakness;
when urinary trouble sets in they think it will
soon correct itself. And so it is with all the
other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is
these troubles or they lead to diabetes or
bright's disease. The best remedy to use is
are caused by weak or diseased kidneys.
Brattleboro people testify to permanent cures.
Mrs. NJ. w. Bingham, wife of NJ. W. Bing-
ham, carpenter. of Prospect street, Brattle-
boro, VT, says: Residents of this city will
remember the testimonial in which Mr.. Bing-
ham recommended Doan's Kidney Pills some
seven years ago. Previous 10 that time he
had been more or less bothered by kidney
complaint and its attendant symptoms. He
procured Doan's Kidney Pills and their use
absolutely proved that the claims made for
this preparation were not exaggerated. Since
then there have been times when he has had
slight returns of the trouble but he has al
ways used Doan's Kidney Pills and they have
on each occasion stopped the attack before it
became at all bad. We are glad to recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills whenever an OPP
pOrtunity presents itself"
