Confirmed Proof
Residents of Connecticut Cannot Doubt What Has Been
 Twice Proved.

In gratitude for complete relief from achessand pains of bad backs--from dis. dressing kidney ills-thousands have pub hcly recommended Doan's Kidney Pills. People who so testified years ago, now say their cures were permanent. This testi- mony doubly proves the worth of Doan's Kidney Pills to kidney sufferers.
 Mrs. Winifred Jenkins of 42 Fifth St. Ansonia, Conn, says:
 "I am willing to substantiate the former statement I made recommending Doan's Kidney Pills. Their use cured me of sharp cutting pains in the back and a lameness of the limbs, dizzy spells which made everything black and dark about me, and a general weakness due, I think, to e debiliated and weakened condition of tho. kidneys. have been asked by many people about Doan's Kidney Pills and have always assured them that for kidney trouble they cannot be equaled."

This will give the lawn grass which is sown a suitable seed bed and will keep the plot from being easily marred should any person or stray anil nal tread on it. White clover and blue grass make an excellent lawn in most sections and should be sown at the rate of three parts of blue grass to one of clover. Frequent watering in case of an insufficient rainfall will be all that Is needed to give good stand of grass. The new grass should not be moved until 1t has made a good growth and developed a fairly strong root Oats are sometimes sown with the grass seed as a sort of nurse crop. but this is not necessary If care is exercised in the narticulars mentioned.

The following irrigated strawberry story comes from an Idaho paper: In the year 1908 a MT. Waite. living in Boise, had a strawberry bed of about an acre and a quarter in extent. From June 1 to July he marketed 12,79S boxes, for which he received $S07.70. Tn September he marketed forty-three boxes, which netted him $10, while from the 1st of October on the bed produced 2,447 boxes, from which he realized $41497.

If the true reason could be got at the difference between the milk pro ,luction of a COW in different seasons, barring that due to the process of ma turing. 1t would quite likely be found to be the kind of a pasture she had, a fact not fully realized perhaps at the time. From the financial standpoint abundant pasturage, for which one pays $S or $9 for the season, Is a de- cidedly better proposition than that which may be had for $6, but which does not furnish a sufficient amount of nutrition above that actually required to keep the physical organism of the COW going. Unless the feed in pas ture is exceptionally heavy 1t ought not to carry more than two cows for every three acres. On this account pasturage that is nominally cheap may be very expensive.

The highest dam in the world was lately begun near Cody, Wyo., when the first stone was laid on solid rock sixty-five feet below the bed of the river in the foundation of the big Sho- shone river dam, which is being built under the government reclamation serv- Ice. Exclusive of the foundation, the dam will be 315 feet high, overlapping any structure of its kind in the world, and will form a reservoir for a water supply which will make possible the conversion of 100000 acres of land which produces now naught but sage brush, greasewood and cactus into pro- ductive orchards, gardens and grain fields.
