BACKACHE is KIDNEY ACHE
To Eliminate the Effect, You Must
Remove The Cause.

Pain is natures signal of distress, a
warning that must not be ignored. Those
sharp twinges in the back, those stab
like pains that follow any sudden twist
or turn, are simple signs of hidden dam
gers In the kidneys. No trouble starts
more easily, gains ground more rapidly,
nor proves more often fatal than any
disorder of the kidneys. All the outward
appearances OF health may remain until
terrible disease has taken root. Don't
wait. The moment you feel any uneasi-
ness, lameness or pain in the back, the
moment the urine shows irregularitv,
either in its appearance, or in the ouan-
tlty or number of the passages, begin
with Doan's Kidney Pills. This remedy

THE FEEDER.

Take particular pains in putting up
the clover hay. There is no better
ronghagc for cattle than good clover
hay, but Its feeding value depends en-
urely upon the way in which it is
cured.

TO their injury
Cowpeas For Cows.
Cowpeas make an excellent food for
dairy cows when combined with other
grain and fodder in proper propor-
ti0ns, but they are so highly concen-
tratcd and nitrogcnous that they should
be fed In moderate quantities and
mixed with cut feed In bran.
Feed Of the Boar.
The feed Of the boar when not in
service may be of Il succulcnt nature
mainly pasture and cut green forage
during the summer months and roots
In winter \ boar can hardly be sus-
taincd In these alone, and some grain
should be allowed TO keep him in con.
dltlon. This should be ntrogenous in
consisting of mill feeds
such as shorts, middllngs aud bran
some oil meal and the lcgumlnous
grains, with a little corn. As the
breeding season approaches the feed
should he Increased, so that the boar
Will be IN good condition.

The MAKING of Bran Mash.

One of the most common of all feeds
is the bran mash, yet not every one
knows how one should be made. 1t is
only in racing stables and large studs
as a rule that one sees it done prop
erly. To make a bran mash first wash
out bucket with boiling water, then
pour in the quantity of water required,
say three pints, and stir in three
pounds of bran. Cover up and leave
1t for a couple of hours or more if not
required for immediate use. A mash
takes hours to get cold and is often
given to a sick horse too hot and re-
fused when it would have been taken
If properly prepared and given warm
instead of scalding hot.
The addition of a tablespoonful of
salt in the ordinary mash of a Satur-
day night can be recommended to keep
down parasites and promote digestion,
but should not be part of a sick horses
diet unless specially ordered.
A mixture of linseed and bran is
often prescribed both as food and a
poultice. To one part of linseed two
of bran is desirable proportion for
both purposes. To get all the feeding
value out of llnseed several hours
should be allowed for cooking, not
merely infusing, as with bran mash,
but gently simmering on the side Of
.he stove. The vessels should be filed.
and toward the end the lid may be
taken off and evaporation permitted
while cooking.

BREEDING of Live Stock,

! The breeding of live stock does not
/ get the serious thought from the farm
er which it demands. Raising stock is
one thing and breeding stock is an
other. The addition of a calf, colt or
a lamb to the herd is regarded on many
farms as of very ordinary Importance
but on farms where high class, pure
bred live stock is reared the addition
of young animal to the herd creates
almost as much interest as the birth
of an additional member to a family.
In the case of the ordinary calf or
colt there is little or no interest mani
tested as to the future of the animal.
If the calf or colt is pure bred its dali
ly growth to maturity is watched with
anxiety. If it Is heifer calf that is
dropped the interest is so great at the
time that it Is difficult to wait until
the calf becomes a COW in order that
it may be known how much of an i'm
provement she is over her mother in
milk production. If colt the farmer
can hardly wait until it Is old enough
to drive in order that he may deter
mine what speed 1t will make on the
track. When good stock is introduced
on the farm there Immediately be-
comes attached an interest which is
not shown in scrub stock. 1t is this In
terest and sentiment which have result
ed in producing some of the worlds
record breakers, and the interest
doesn't fail to appeal to any man who
endeavors to improve the live stock on
his farm. This Is one of the advan-
tages of breeding good animals.

BACTERIA IN MILK.
Some Good Suggestions That Every
Dairymsn Should Heed.

1t IS impossible in practical dairy
work entirely to prevent bacteria from
falling into the milk. but if the follow
( ing suggestions are needed the num-
( Der gaining entrance and their rate of
development will be greatly lessened:
Do not feed dry hay or fodder at
feeding time. and TO prevent dust from
rising from the floor use the sprinkllng
tan, for dust meant bacteria.
Do not brush the COW just before or
at the time of milking. for the dead
skin and hairs, carrying thousands of
bacteria, will be loosened ready TO drop
into the pail
Do not permit the COW to switch her
tail over the milk pail, for she is GER
tain to throw hundreds Of bacteria
into the milk at every flip.
Do not soak the teats or udder with
milk or water so that drops fall into
the pail, but moisten with a cloth, for
A moist surface does not readily per-
nit bacteria to leave It.
DO not regard milking as a dirty
ask and wear old and filthy clothes,
or the handling of food for human
,elngs should be made cleanly task.
DO not wash pals and cans with
old water, but scald with boiling wa |
er and steam, and by all means avoid |
insing with cold water just before
lilking, for few drops of water usu-
lily contain several thousand bacteria.

DO not fail to thoroughly clean and

me it is used, for bacteria thrive in
le separator slime.

built the boar should have high quail
ity-fne bones, skin and hair. If the
sows tend toward overrefnement and
delicacy the boar should be rather ran
gy and strong bOned.
The same indications Of a good pork
producing carcass that the sOws re-
qulre should be seen in the boar-a
broad, straight, deeply fleshed back
much depth and length Of sides and
well developed hind quarters. The
visible organs Of the reproductive sys-
TEN should be well developed and
clearly defined.
The boar should stand upon his toes,
and there should not be the slightest
indication Of weakness in the pasterns
OF the young ones. In a matured boar
dwo or three years Of age that has
seen hard service it may be expected
that he viii be little down on his
pastens, but six or eight months old

select for herd boar.

quently spoiled by too heavy sailing.
Mix pals and cans should be used
for no other purpose than TO hold milk.
In order TO get the best favored
milk the COW should be fed nothing
until after milking.
Regularity in milking helps the flow
during the present and all subsequent
lactatiOn periods.
Do not allow ensilage to stand in the
stable or any hay to be fed just be-
fore milking or a dust may be raised.
The silos should be far enough away
from the stable to eliminate all danger
Of the milk absorbing the odor Of the
when it is thrown out Of the
silo.
