Every man or woman here who feels
that the kidneys are not strong or act

MutiIate Art Treasures.

Authorities who have IN charge
some Of England's ancient treasures
try to discourage the habi. CT carving
initials on these relics. A foe OF SIS

had Clipped his name in letters six
inches high on one of the stones in the
"Druids' Circle" near Keswick. Close

foot or more. The vegetative stems,
by means of which the plant spreads
to new host plants. form a dense mat,
or carpet, close to the ground, wind
Ing In and out among the host stems
often completely surrounding them
and hiding the ground. In this way
the spreading of the plant is rapid and
very effective. The early growth of
this plant is not readily detected at
a distance.
The effect on the crop differs with
these different habits of growth. Field
dodder destroys its host plants in ir-
regular patches. probably in many in
stances as much by bearing down and
smothering the crop as by the with
drawal of plant food. All of the crop
plants within an infested area are
likely to be attacked. Small seeded
alfalfa dodder. combining it's attacks
chiefly to individual resistent I'D
naturally long-lved plants, eventually
causes general thinning of the
stand through the death of scattered
individual plants. Healthy, infested
and nearly dead alfalfa plants thus
often occur in close proximity.
Clover dodder attacks every clover
plant and to a greater or less extent
other plants within the infested area.
1t destroys rapidly. and its progress
from the original point of attack is so
uniform that distinctly circular areas
barred of living clover or alfalfa result.
These circular spots of dead plants
are very characteristic marks of the
destruction caused by this species.
A narrow band Of living dodder stems
will be found bordering the circle OF
destroyed plants.
Flax dodder bears down the fax
plants and is therefore sometimes
called -pull-down." 1t also draws the
tops OF the plants together. Both
largeseeded alfalfa dodder and Chill
Gan dodder ascend to the top of the
host plant The former produces
dense flower and fruitins clusters:
the latter appears - have more

A Homemade Ladder.

It is used extensively In California.
Easy to move. with no damage of tip
ping over, no matter where the man
stands, and cheap in construction, it
will prove labor saver in any
orchard.
No extended description is neces-
sary, the ladder being merely mount
ed on pair of cast-off buggy wheels.
The Orange Judd Farmer calls special
attention to the platform on front,
which adds materially to the useful
ness OF the ladder. especially when
picking fruit

Seven Points to Remember.

In preparing the apples for ship
ment it should be borne In mind that
the essential qualities of marketable
apple are: First, color, which should
be bright, whether the apple is yell
low or red. Second. good shape
twisted. inferior shaped apples should
not be shipped If others are at hand.
Third, uniform size. Whether large or
small they should be uniform. Small
apples all the same size sell better
than some large and some small.
Fourth. richness. Sixth, smooth, thin
skin. small core and few seeds. Sew.
enth. good keeping qualities

win Not supply Piqs.

Bacon curers are usually among the
most prosperous firms in Belfast. but
they have hat to warn the farmers
throughout the north not to kill any
more pigs until the strikes are settled,
for it is impossible to handle the car
casses. Business has thus been divert
ed to other Irish bacon-curing centers.
although the majority Of farmers have
simply respited their pigs and are
making no attempt to supply the mar
ket. Danish bacon factories will thus

STORING THE ONION CROP.
Proper Way the Bulbs Should Be
Handled During Winter Season.

Proper Way the Bulbs Should Be
Handled During Winter Season.
The best practice Is to spread in
layers not more than 6 inches deep
where the onions will have free ven
-ilation. When the tops are thorough
ly dried they may be easily cut or
rubbed off and the bulbs stored in
layers two feet deeper, or In crates or
other convenient packages.
There are two very common meth
DDS of storing small quantities of
onions. One is to keep in dry loft or
attic of the house where there is little
or no freezing. The other method is to
allow the bulbs to freeze and then
cover with sufficient hay or straw to
keep them in a frozen condition until
used or until spring. The latter meth
cd is very satisfactory in the north.

The form and appearance of the
flower clusters differ with the differ
ent kinds of dodder. Glover dodder
flowers are in small compact clusters
with several flowers each. The clus-
tiers as well as the stems are often
tinged with red. Small-seeded alfalfa
dodder flowers are in similar clus-
ters which are not colored
When failure to prevent the intro
duction of dodder seed occurs, the
destruction of the plants becomes the
final resort. The questions of sue
cess and the extent of the necessary
damage to the crop at once arise.

CONVENIENT SORTING TABLES.
viii Make the Handling and Packing
of Fruit Easier.

Where fruit is packed from the
trees a sorting table will always be
found convenient. 1t generally saves
time and labor to do packing right in
the orchard. A handy table is one
mounted on wheels, as shown in cut,
which may be of any size desired and
should be large enough to hold at
least four barrels. The wheels can
be picked up from discarded machin-

Give Coating of Manure.

Before the fall rains begin, cover
the lettuce and radish beds with
heavy coat OF fresh horse manure.
The rain water will carry the very
elements needed into the soil. The
same attention can be paid to the foil
age beds. The litter must be removed
in the spring. II the soil needs organic
matter. well-rotted manure should be
used.
