CURE YOUR KIDNEYS

Why will people continue to suffer the
agonies OF kidney complaint, backache,
| urinary disorders, lameness, headaches,
languor, Why allow themselves to be-
come chronic invalids, when a certain
cure is offered them?
Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy to
use, because it gives to the kidneys the
help they need to perform their work.
II you have any, even one, of the
symptoms Of kidney diseases, cure your
self now, before diabetes, dropsy or
Bright's disease sets in.
Mrs. L. Hodson, of III Aura St.,
Pendleton, Ore, says: 81 just as en-
Enthusiastically endorse Doan's Kidney
Pills today as did nearly three years
ago. Thew relieved me of kidney trouble
which had bothe,t me for a consider
able time. There was aching pains
across the small OF my back and down
through my kidneys, which were aggra-
vated by colds which settled in the back
and IONS and caused an ewful lameness
This was my condition when | began
taking Doan's Kidney Pills. This REM
edy banished the backache and pains
through the loins, regulated the kidney
secretiOns and removed every symptom
of the trouble, From that day to this
there has been no recurrence, and give
Doan's Kidney Pills all the credit. l
consider them to be the best kidney
remedy procurable and recommend
them whenever the occasion arises"

Breeders Round Out q Great Year on

Breeders Hound Out Great Year or
Both Sides Of the Atlantic.
A progressive policy is being pursued
By the American Shorthorn Breeders
association to procure the extension ol
the market for our Shorthorn cattle
Last fall, It VIII be remembered, the
officers Of the society undertook a per.
sonally conducted expectation Of bulls
and heifers into Mexico, and, while
the financial results showed little OF
no gain, a fine lot Of cattle were sold
10 influential breeders, whose example
In purchasing viii doubtless be follow
ed by others.
During the trip 1t was borne in on
the officials that II the effort should
be followed up intelligently many more
Ghorthorns could be sold south Of the
Rio Grande, and TO that end arrange
ments have been completed for the
proper representation Of the trade. L.
Yfllareal Madero, San Antonio, Tex,
has been appointed agent OF the asso-
citation and has been conducting nego-
tiations with the Mexican officials.
1t is made plain that the officials Of
the American Shorthorn association
made a most excellent move when they
invaded Mexico with a lot Of Short
horn cattle. They have secured the
active cooperation Of the Mexican de
partment Of agriculture and also Of
the various state departments. which
must In time succeed In opening up
fruitful demand for our cattle. 1t Il
work Of this kind that counts.

The Grain Ratien.
A light grain ration Is not the most
economical for growing pigs unless un-
der peculiar circumstances, when al
falfa is abundant, grain very high in
price and market conditions warrant
holding the hogs. Ii seems probable
that two or more pounds Of corn daily
per each hundnedweight Of hogs Is
more profitable than q lighter ration
The cost Of gain Is not reliable cri-
terion Of profit A cheap gain may
be so STOW as to be Improbable. Time,
labor and investment should be con
sidered when reckoning profits. A full
grain ration, though making the gain
more costly, usually gives greater prof
its because Of the larger amount Of
business transacted in a given time
with a given number Of hogs.-W. p.

APPLE CULTURE.

Keeping Quality of Fruit Grown u
Sod or Under Tillage.
Here Is a question. often asked a
fruit growers meetings. as answereI
In part by Fl. W. c. in Rural New
Yorker: ''Is it true that apples grown
in sod have better keeping quality than
those grown under tillage"
No one seems to say yes or no with
out qualification. Ny own experience
indicates that the cultivated apples are
larger. lighter In color and less firm
than those grown In sod My sod fruit
will certainly average smaller and con-
siderably higher in color. Our only
keeping test is that Of putting all to-
gether in an ordinary cellar, as we sell
most Of our fruit early. From this
test feel sure that the sod apples are
better keepers. In commercial apple
culture this does not make so much
difference, as most apples are put at
once into cold storage and kept there
until sold.
Scientific Experiments.
A large number Of scientific expert
ments have been conducted with vary
ing results. There is certain definite
time beyond which apples should pot
be in storage. After this period the
sod fruit keeps best. The sod fruit
natures earlier than the cultivated
and II picked at the same time is
little higher colOred. This high coIored
matured fruit Of course keeps better
than immature fruit, especially With
the earlier varieties, like Wealthy.
Alexander and Fameuse. These vari.
cites undoubtedly keep better when
grown on sod land than fruit from
titled land picked at the same time
Where the latter was allowed to grow
longer there is not much difference.
In commercial orcharding think more
depends on other things. such as pick
ing and handling. No matter how the
apple is grown, bruising and rough
Will hurt the fruit.

Meat lnspeetion.

A commission Of seven expert pa
biologists not members OF the depart
ment Of agriculture was appointed dur.
ing the year to advise regarding those
portions OF the meat regulations which
deal with the disposal Of diseased car

report. the general conclusion OF the
commission was that III there be any
general error in the regulations this

In favor Of the butchers and packers"

FEEDING SILAGE.
Xhen IT Inparts a Bad odor or Flavor

Xhen II Inparts Bad odor or Flavor
to the Milk.
The following observations on the
effect Of feeding silage to dairy cows
have been published by w. J. Fraser
Of the. Illinois experiment station, who
said: The dairy herd was divided into
two lots, one Of which was fed forty
pounds Of corn silage per COW daily,
while the other lot was fed only clover
hay and grain. The milk from each
lot was standardized to per cent and
otherwise cared for In exactly the same
manner. Samples from each lot during
the course Of the experiments were
submitted to 372 persons for an opin-
ion as to any difference In the favor Of
the two samples, anything objection
able about either and any preference.
The results showed that GO per cent
preferred silage milk, 20 per cent non
silage milk, and II per cent had no
choice. When the silage was fed at
the time Of milking, the percentage In
favor Of silage milk was much higher
than when the s!lage was fed one hour
before milking or after milking. Five
samples OF each lot were sent to milk
experts in different cities, three OF
whom preferred silage milk, one nom
sllage, and one had no choice. No
complaint was received from a hotel
to which silage milk was delivered for
a period Of one month. On the whole.
IT was apparent that the greater num-
ber Of people were able to distinguish
between the two kinds Of milk. but
found nothing Objectionable about ell
ther kind.

Bowed to Senator Hale.

Senator Hale is the autocrat OF the
senate on naval matters, a fact which
is thoroughly recognized at the navy
department. Last summer Secretary
Metcalf took number of senators
and representatives, members of the
naval affairs committees of the two
houses, on an inspection" jaunt of
the West Indies. Mr., Hale went
along. One day the Dolphin lay all day
at some port while Secretary Metcalf
spent the time ashore. The place
bored Mr. Hale, and he remained
aboard the Dolphin. In the evening
Mr. Metcalf returned, and when the
captain of the Dolphin asked for sail
ing orders, Mr. Metcalf told him the
ship would remain in port that night
Just at that moment Mr. Hale came
on deck. How much longer will we
stay in this hole?" he asked Mr.. Met
calf Il was just giving orders to sail
at once" replied Secretary Metcalf
Five minutes later the Dolphin was
pulling out as fast as her engines
would take her.
