IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake The Cause OF Your
Trouble. Delay May Prove


Does your back ache? Do you get up
lame in the morning? Do you feel dull
and tired? Does it hurt you to bend
over, to lift anything, to get up from
a chair? Do you have sudden catches"
or stitches of pain in the back Does
a dull, throbbing ache settle in the
small of your back and bother you day
and night? Do you sometimes feel that
you simply cannot straighten up? You
cannot make any mistake by treating
the kidneys at once, for 1t is these
small troubles that lead to dropsy, dia-
betes and Bright's disease. If there is
any doubt in your mind that the kid
neys are affected, notice the urine for
a few days, If passages are irregular,
painful, or too scanty, discolored or
full of sediment the kidneys need
help right away, and there is no other
medicine more helpful than Doan's
Kidney Pills, simple remedy for the
kidneys, yet so powerful that 1t quick
ly cures the cause and so ends all the
painful and annoying symptoms.
Home cures prove the merit of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Any person wish

izens may do SO by calling at Fuller's

PoWER FRoM BROOK DAM.
Expert Urges Farmers to Store Up
Water For Various Uses.

Expert Urges Farmers to Store Up
Water For Various Uses.
BY EDWARD r.. TAYLOR.
Mr.. Farmer. what are you doing
with the brook on your farm? Let
ting 1t have its own sweet way in
hurry (and sometimes In a great hur-
ry) to get its waters into yonder
river? Why not curb it and make
good use Of it as it passes? John T.
Mcdonald of Delhi, N. Y, some ten
years ago began making good use of
his brook-lights his house and build
ings, runs saws and various machines
In little shop in winter and on rainy
days and has enough power in addi-
ton to heat his house if he fitted up
for it. Why don't you do likewise?
The dam is made from stones and earth
from the nearby fields. costs but little,
securing pond Of about three acres
which abounds in beautiful trout and
other fish, and from the pond Mr.. Me-
Donald cuts 500 tons of ice per year
for himself and neighbors.
1t is really the most valuable land
he has, Did you know If you have the
only pond on your stream all the lar
gest fish will make it their habitation,
and If you make a spiIlway in con
nection with your dam large fish from
below will come up and settle in your
pond, and you and your boys and girls
will go fishing there for the profit as
well as for the fun of it? Make
safe place and teach the children to
swim. Besides, it is stimulating and
grateful in summer weather
almost think you are really inter
ested. and perhaps are thinking now
where you have the best site for the
dam. Begin the work by laying down
sewer pipe two or more feet in diam. |
eter and twenty, thirty or more feet |
long, according to the size of embank-
ment you must build. This can be in
the bed Of the stream, diyerting the
water for the time by a little dam
above. On the upstream end of this
pipe build a square box of plank as
high as you wish the water to be in
the pond 1t will take away lots of
water safely in foods Near its bot
tom on the upstream side fix a gate
Of plank which you can open to
drain the pond in summer for repairs
If you put a grating made say. of

he gate it will keep back all the fish

Ill done in good shape. you can let

ONIONS FOR SOUVENIRS.
Some Huge Specimens That Wsishet

6ome Huge Specimens That Weighed
Two Pounds Each.
The onions shown in the Illustration
are the Bermuda or Giant Gibraltar
species. They were grown on Long
Island, New York. and weigh two
pounds each. Twenty weight of them
make bushel. They were raised
from Gibraltar seed and matured in
the open. The onions are so large
that one of them fills a quart basket
and more. and they ran 1,035 bushels
to the acre.
The cost of raising an acre of onions
Is something which is not an easy
thing to get at and varies with every
onion raiser on every acre every year
and will continue to do so as long as
nature sees fit to absolutely decline to
run on any set schedule which shall
not vary one iota from year to year,
and nature has so declined since the
creation of the world. Further, even

rha Fool and the Auto.

If a man should put rubber tires on
the wheels of a locomotive and drive
the same at express speed or anywhere
near it over an ordinary wagon road
he would be pronounced a suicidal lu-
matte, says an exchange. Yet this Is
exactly what men presumably of sound
mind are doing every day with their
motorcars. An automobile is practi-
cally locomotive, and, like the latter,
1t can be driven with safety at any
speed faster than jog trot only on a

Cleanliness Necessary.

Careful Heating of churnins Room and
Cleanliness Necessary.
There can be no definite rule laid
down as to the temperature at which
the cream should be churned. as diff
ferent creams require different tenn
peratures. The fat is In the form Of
microscopic globuIes. and they must
have a certain degree of softness If
they are to unite. When the cream
enters the churn that is properly rip
ened and contains 20 to 80 per cent
fat the temperature should be such
that the cream will churn in thirty to
forty-five minutes, This will give an
exhaustive churning and leave the
butter in a condition in which it car
be easily handled without injuring the
texture.
Before putting the cream In the
churn the churn should be thoroughly
scalded and as thoroughly chilled with
cold water. Tie advantage of this is
that it will freshen the churn and fill
the pores In the wood so that the
cream and butter will not stick to 1t.

Mr. b. f. Kelley, Springfield, ILL.,,
writes: "A year ago l began to be
troubled with my kidneys and bladder.
which grew worse until 1 became
alarmed at my condition. l suffered
also with duh heavy headaches and

ing room should be as nearly as posi-.
bic the same as the churning tempera.
ture. If it is warm the cream will
warm up rapidly, and the butter will
likely be soft and will require more
washing to remove the buttermilk. 1t
is useless to lower the cream rapidly
to the churning point just before
churning. It should be there at least
two hours before churning. The rea.
son for this is that fat is slow con-
ductor of heat, and. although the Sc
rum has cooled and the thermometer
reads the right temperature, the fat
has not actually reached it, and the
results would be the same as If churn-
ed at an actually higher degree.

AUTOS ON THE FARM.
Half the Cars In Some States Are
Owned by Farmers.

/
Recently, at the automobile school
opening exercises in New York city, ].
George Frederick, managing editor Of
Printers Ink, delivered a most inter
esting lecture on the modern use Of
automobiles on the farm, illustrated
by many stereopticon pictures.
Mr.. Frederick first traced the rea-
sons for the greater wealth of the
farmer through scientific farming and
the use Of good machinery and showed
the natural connection between the
use of machinery and the auto by
estimate there were now 10000 autos
In use on farms-about one-fourth Of
all in use-and how one dealer in an
Oregon town of 5000 population sold
forty-two In one season. He said that
OF the 4,5l6 autos registered at a re-
cent date in Kansas half OF them were
owned by farmers aud that out Of
10000 autos owned in Iowa one-half
were owned by farmers.
Taking up the question Of how the
farmer finds the auto profitable. Mr.
Frederick told Of the great help autos
are to the dairy farmers In delivering
milk quickly and without disturbing
the value OF the farm horses during
the busy farming seasons. He also
pointed out how the delivery OF milk
by auto TO railway stations has greatly
widened the area OF farm land in
which 1t Is profitable to engage In the
milk business.
The recreation side Of the auto on
the farm was most effectively Illus
trated by Mr. Frederick's pictures.
