AGRICULTURAL GLEANINGS
Picked Up Here and There.


In cattle feeding, COW pea and
alfalfa hay make a good substi-
tute for wheat bran.
One hundred pounds of wheat
bran contains 1872 pounds of
digestible prolein. 1872 digestible
carbohydrates and -2.7 pounds
either extract or fat.
The era of big hogs seems to
be passing away. Hogs weighing
125 to 200 pounds-the smooth,
small-boned kind-bring the best
money.
Profit lies not so much in big
crops as in good ones. A 50-acre
farm properly titled and cared
for will yield quality that is
worth more money than will a
farm twice the size, with a crop
of an inferior sort.
Manure is simply materials
that have been softened and
decomposed (digested) within the
body of an animal. To apply
such raw materials as bran and
linseed meal directly to the soil
would be of no advantage, not
withstanding that they are excel
lent fertilizers, their value being
increased by feeding to stock.
When mature becomes heated
and the odor of ammonia is
noticed there is then a loss of
valuable fertilizing substance
nitrogen. IF the heat is very
high force a crowbar down in the
heap in several places and pour
cold water in to reduce the tenn
perature.
There is more than the usual
stir in agricultural affairs this
year. A significant fact connect
ed with agricultural pursuits is
that there is a strong tendency to
diversity products, and raise
more home necessities. Evident.

ITS YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles
Grand Rapids Citizen Shows How TO
Cure Them.

Many people never suspect theil
kidneys. If suffering from a lame
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness: wher
urinary trouble sets in they think il
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Bright'S disease. The best remedy
to use is DOan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures
all ills which are caused by weak OF
diseased kidneys. Grand Rapids
people testify TO permanent cures.
E. FL. Chapman, living corner,
Wisconsin and Ninth ST., n, Grand
Rapids, Wis.,, says; II suffered with
a dull nagging backache and sharp
shooting pains across my loins for a
time. II | attempted to stoop or lift
anything, sharp pains would pass
through my body and | felt miserable.
L had severe headaches and pains in
the back of my head, and when
arose in the morning felt tired and
linguid, and had no ambition to do
my work. My kidneys were disordered
and the SecretiOns gave ME great an
noyance. [ read of Doan'S Kidney
Pills and concluding to give them a
trial, procured a box. | was relieved
