NEW hUOT CROPS run ouuTtI
Department of Agriculture Discovers
Tropical Plant That Can Be
Grown on Wet Soils.

The department of agriculture at
Washington is continually discovering
AID testing new crops When these
give promise of becoming valuable ae-
ditions to the crop resources of this
country, they are recommended for
trial. The department has just issued
a bulletin dealing with the "Yantias,
taros, and dasheens as promising root
crops for the south" These are trop-
ical plants which can easily be grown
in many parts of the south. They
ought to prove valuable in many sec
tons because they can be grown on
lands too wet for other root crops or
any cereal crop except rice.
These plants comprise salad plants
tubers which are excellent for table
use and also for stock feed, roots
which are valuable sources of starch
and from which alcohol can be made
They have formed the staple food of
the native Hawaiians, and are impor-
tant food crops in Japan, China, the
Malay Archipelago, Porto Rico, and
many other hot countries.
The work of the department with
these plants has not yet progressed
far enough TO permit any distribution
of plants

GENERAL FARM NOTES,

The breed is of less Importance
than the surroundings.
1t does not pay to allow the pigs to
run through a wet pasture
Too rich food and an absence of
lime will cause soft-shelled eggs.
A poor mixer is one of the surest
ways Of diminishing the milk flow.
To be successful, man must be
particular with his breeding stock.
From now until warm weather
comes again cold-storage eggs will be
fresh.
Each fowl needs at least three
house.
Health is natural, disease Is I'M
natural; health is contagious as well
as disease.
Fruit that has been shaken from
the trees should never be stored for
winter keeping.
Get your chicks out on the
ground as soon as they get their legs
diu hAOW luSlI
To make hogs profitable we must
provide plenty Of range, that we may
keep their yards clean and sanitary
An Indiana authority says that not
one farmer in thousand in that state
plants an orchard and takes care of it.
To induce the greatest possible milk
flow in heifers their calves should be
removed from them the first week aft.
er calving
All hens and males not actually
needed, or which have outlived their
should be sold or used on
the home table.
When milk is fed to the chickens
do not neglect to give them plenty CT
fresh water. Neither will take the
place of the other.
1t will pay any hog-grower to dip
all of his growing pigs at least once
4 month, to keep their skins in good
and free from lice.
Foods known to possess laxative quail
tiles should be found in every dairy
ration. Those in which it is pro
aounced should be fed moderately.
There is too little attention paid to
gardening for food and fruit, and If
portion of the days spent in graphing
with too much crops in spring were
devoted to the production of garden
vegetables for use during the whole
vear, there would be far fewer liver
omplaints.

Monarch of the Woods Is Still Uncon-

Captive.

Previous to being placed in his pres

cage in Woodward Gardens, San
Francisco, where he remained three or
four years. He was fretful for months,
after being robbed of his freedom,

realized he could not escape.
His aptitude in discovering the weak
places in his cage. together with his
wonderful agility and tremendous
strength. made imperative the con-

For two years MT. Enos Jackson

Pap" liked everybody in turn.
There were three widows on the

to fall in love with the Widow Turner

not quite clear to him. He thought 1t
over many times. but the clew always
eluded him. However, the fact re-

but there was no particular hurry
aboutit. Money was rather tight, and
it would be wiser to wait until dollar
bills could be picked up in the road.
The Widow Turner was a very nice
widow. She had a good farm and a
comfortable house, and If she was in
any hurry to clinch the bargain she

around once in ten days. and he threw
out hints about next month. and six
months and next year, and so things
went on.
The Widow Turner lived at the
southern end of the route. 1t one day
struck Pap" that he ought to get
engaged to a widow at the northern
end Of the route to sort of balance
things. He therefore asked the Widow
Shevlin ii she would marry him, and
she said she would. In her case, also.
there was no great hurry about it.

along all right. Once in awhile, as

Cures that last are cures that tell To thoroughly know the virtues of a medicine you must investigate the cures and see if they prove perma- nent. Deans Kidney Pills stand this test, and plenty of proof exists right here in this locality People who test flied years ago to relief from backacho kidney and urinary disorders, now de- clare that relief was permanent and the cure perfect. Can any Alaskan sufferer longer doubt the evidence?
 J. Prenatt, 3ll Third Ave, N., Se- attle, Wash, says: "The relief l re- ceived from Deans Kidney Pills over three years ago, has been permanent and I, therefore, cheerfully confirm the public statement l gave in favor of the remedy at that time. For two years I had attacks of backaChe and my kidneys were so weak that the least cold l contracted settled in them making my condition worse. Deans Kidney Pills promptly disposed of the pains in my back and regulated the passages of the kidney secreuons.
