HIDDEN DANGERS
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Dallas Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.

The kidneys are bean-shaped organs.
composed of masses of little tubes, all of
which pour their secretions into main
channel that leads to the bladder. In
TINS way the kidneys pass off more than
an ounce of poison every day when in
health. But it does not take much TO
set ne kidneys back, and when they get
oehlnd, they cannot right themselves
without help. The uric acid begins to
clog the kidneys, causing that dull,
heavy aching in the back, and sharp
twlnges when STOPPING or lifting. Ii
crystallizes in the muscles and Joints.
and every turn or twist brings keenest
torture. 1t attacks the nerves with
neuralgia, and sciatica, 1t brings head
ache, dizziness, languor and disorders
OF the urine. Try a good kidney medi-
cine, II you have any OF the above sym-
ptoms. There is nothing else so prom pt
and effective as Doan's kidney Pills
aud this remedy has no effect on the
ether organs, except to drive ont the uric
poison that interrupts their action. n

Feeding the Work Horse.

For general feed corn and oats I'm
equal parts make a very good grain
ration for a heavy farm horse doing
slow work, says a Michigan breeder
For the driver oats alone or with n
little bran is better. With corn the
bran helps TO tighten the ration and
aids digestion. should recommend
putting a little bran always with any
grain ration for this reason. In win.
ter farmers frequently keep their work
horses on straw, with a little grain.
Where this is done bran should always
make part Of the ration. for the straw
Is binding to the bowels. and this ten
dency the bran counteracts. some
horses are predisposed TO collie. and
straw and corn diet is almost sure 10
cause trouble at frequent intervals
with any such cases.

Care Of Cream.

The following advice is being sent
out to patrons Of a Missouri creamery
company:
DO not keep cream in damp, moldy
cellars orr in hot sheds or outhouses,
but in light, airy, cool places, away
from bad OdorS. dust and dirt
DO not milk in unclean pals or keep
cream in dirty vessels, but in clean,
scaldcd reccptaclcs, always open for
air, but screened against insects or
vermin.
DO not keep the separator in the
barn, but in some clean, airy room,
away from dirt and dust.
Wash the separator after each skim
ming, for the wandering microbe loves
the separator filth and multiplies a
millionfold therein.
Always clean the cows udders and
sides before milking and also the
hands and do not milk in dusty sta
b'es, amid falling hay and dust

City women, however, have a good

Their homes, being small, are more

is always possible to find some one to

little excursions that are
not expensive and make a delightful

miliar, writes l.. ]. Haynes in Ameri'
can Agrlculturist When farmer
takes note for hundred dollars
with interest at per cent it needs
no explanation to make him under
stand that the per cent interest will
bring him SO. But this same farmer
may be absolutely ignorant Of the
amount of fat in hundred pounds of
milk testing per cent. He does not
realize that the per cent test problem
is exactly like the per cent simple in
terest problems he Used to figure out
in the old arithmetics and is doing
now whenever he takes or gives a
note
If he had $4,000 to put out at inter
est and one party offered him 8 per
cent, while another would pay only
per cent, he would know that the
per cent offer would bring him $3.50,
just 500 more than the per cent
rate. If he was getting only per
cent and a friend gave him informa-
tion that would enable him to place |
his money at per cent, this knowl-
edge would be valuable and worth
something to him, and he would be
willing to pay for the information.
Now, then, let us connect the interest
problems with the COW testing prob
lem, using the same amount both as
to the quantity Of milk In pounds rep
resentlng the 5000 and the same tests
to the per cent and
the ) per cent rates Of interest.
Five thousand pounds Of milk is not
too large an amount to expect from
cow; neither is a , per cent test ex-
traordinary nor a 3 per cent test un-
common. The 1900 pounds from the
one COW testing per cent would con-
tain $50 pounds Of fat, while the same
amount from the other COW testing
per cent would contain $50 pounds of
butter fat. If 80 cents a pound is re-
ceived for the butter fat the high test
Ing COW Will make SO, just $50 more
than the 3 per cent COW, whose credit
Is only $40. Isn't information which
VIII enable him to sift out these low
producing cows and replace them by
better ones of value and worth some
thing to him, and can he not well af-
ford to pay for M That is just what
tester will do, and It won't cost him
very much either.
The complete outfit shown In the H.
lustration can be purchased for from
So to s., including tester, quantity of
the acid used, milk plpette and an acid
measure. While we have a larger test
er for our dairy and would recommend
the purchase of one this small one is
much better than none at all This one
Is compact taking up little room, and
can he clamped TO any table, bench or
even TO the box In which It is shipped
Ten minutes win complete the testing.

THEIR CHILDREN ARE UNRuLY.

they are extremely particular and
don't want to have thing out of
place.
There are Others who feel superior
to us. They view the farmer and his
family with pity, almost with CON
tempt. They think farm life is so soli-
tary. farm earnings so small! Yet
they like 60 partake Of the farmers
hospitality even while they try to ex-
cite envy and discomfort, and | think
they really like TO have us visit them,
mostly, though, for the purpose Of
showing us their luXurles and advan-
tages which we do not possess. Such
acquaintances should never be invited
to repeat the first visit. We should
speed the parting guest and discour-
age them from coming again.

MILK TESTING
ON THE FARM.

A milk tester should be owned by
every farmer who keeps a COW and
sells butter or milk and cream on Il
butter fat basis. Yet relatively
small number Of farmers have purchas-
ed them. 1t is partly because they do
not understand the operation, think
ing it too complex to be performed
by those unfamiliar with chemistry
and laboratory manipulation, or, as is
often true, they do not realize the diff
ference between a high testing and
low testing COW.
The meaning Of test is very sim
pie when once understood and is only
simple problem in percentage, with
which most of US are perfectly ia

Hard driving to the horse is what
fast living is TO man; he cannot keep
1t up.
Horses which have to work hard do
not need any surplus flesh.
A good draft stallion, crossed on
mares with good dispositions, produces
colts that are naturally quiet and easy
to train to the slow work Of the farm.

Vacuum For Cleaning Horses

The vacuum machine as used for
cleaning the furnishings Of homes and
office buildings has become a familiar
sight in nearly all parts Of the coun-
try, but such machine used for
cleaning horses is new to most peO-
pie. A horse can be thoroughly clean
ed by the machine in from three to
five minutes while with the ordinary
currycomb and brush the task takes
from twenty minutes to an hour OF
vigorous rubbing According to Pop

the animals skin. cleaning both the

Here is an experienced breeders

alcohol, three-quarters Of pint; tine
ture of iodine, three-quarters of a
pint: camphor gum, six ounces; crude
petroleum, one and One-half ounces:
OIL of thyme, one-half ounce. Cut the
camphor into small pieces and dissolve
it in the alcohol and turpentine, mix
ed. Then mix in the other ingredients
and shake thoroughly. Before apply
ing wash the parts well with strong

screen may be formed by raising the
bail and tying piece of black cloth from
1t to the opposite side Of the frame. In
shallow. running water it is desirable to
support the water glass from the bottom
In order that 1t may not sink so much as
to displace or distort the object to be
photographed. It may be supported on
four iron rods which run through metal
sleeves soldered to the four corners of the
frame. The rods may be fixed in any
position in the sleeves by means Of set
screws. and may project upward far
enough to support the upper edge of the
screen. The water glass has been used
for quite number Of years to observe
the bottoms of shallow streams. but 1t
has only been recently that 1t has been
applied to photography.
In deep water there is only one means
by which it is possible to get pictures
of fish Or fora on the bottom and that
is by use OF camera entirely submerged.
Many things have to be considered when
this is attempted. In the first place the
box that incloses the camera must be
water tight SO as not to let the water
interfere with the plates. And 1t is also
imperative that special lenses be used
SO as to get the most out Of the half
light that prevails on the bottom.
This method has been tried for num-
Der of years and some successful results
were obtained by sod the various users:
pictures of some mollusos in his aquarium
to invent an apparatus to get them in
their native haunts. In order to use his
apparatus 1t was necessary to assume q
divers outfit and descend with the camera
to take the pictures. In a paper written
by him he briefly describes his method
and outfit.
The boat containing the apparatus to be
used divers suit. air pumps and photo
graphic aparatu9 was first firmly an
chored at the spot selected and held in
place by means of cables stretched to the
rocks on shore. The photographer then

tons. He first signaled to an assistant to
let down the Photographic apparatus.
which contained the tripod. the box con-
tanning the camera and a weight intended
to steady the apparatus. He then sought
out the view to be taken and set up the
apparatus at his leisure. This accomplished.
he opened the shutter Of the camera and
signaed to his assistant that the exposure
was begun. Since it was impossible to use
a watch while under water it was neces-
