A GREAT RECORD
Hard to Duplicate 1t in Topeka.


Scores Of representative citizens OF
Topeka are testifying for Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Such a record of local en-
dorsement is unequalled in modern
times. This public statement made
by a citizen is but one of the many
that have preceded it and the hun
dredS that will follow. Read it:
Thomas z. De Pui, 1914 Clay St,
Topeka, kan, says: For years 1 was
afflicted with kidney trouble. The
first symptoms was a dull, bearing
down ache across the small of my
back which gradually grew worse and
often I was confined to my bed for a
week hardly able to move. Doan'a
Kidney Pills, procured at Rowley's
Drug store, relieved me of this trouble
and also corrected difficulty with the
kidney secretions that had caused
much annoyance" Statement given
in March 1900
PERMANENT RELIEF.
Mr. De Pui was interviewed on
April 81. 1910 and he said: Il have
no reason whatever to change my
high opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills.
For several years I have been free
from backache and kidney trouble and
it is due to the use of this remedy"

lies OF ire that could better be prt-
duced at home The solution of the
problem. therefore, Is to reduce your
acreage of cotton and grow other
crops. The results being secured in
Mississippi this year indicate that
peanuts is one crop that should be
grown
T. peanut crop is not what 1t
should be this year. because Of the
poor stand, the lack of proper prepare
ton of soil. lack of good cultivation.
and unfavorable weather conditions
Wherever we find good stand and
whore the peanuts we're properly culti-
waited we find a good yield Many
farmers who planted peanuts had mo
faith In the crop, and what work they
did was done In half-hearted way.
We would not expect good results from
any other crop under these conditions.
and should not expect them from pea
nuts. Considering all OF these factors
the crop is good. The yield will vary
all the way from 10 to rs bushels per
acre. with the average for the state
rs to 80 bushels per acre Thirty
bushels is about an average. but is not
good yield any more than one-third
Of bale Of cotton is good yield.
We find many farmers securing 40. so
or so bushels of peanuts and from
three-fourths to ton of hay per acre.
Throughout Mississippi we find a
poor stand OF peanuts and resulting
poor yield. The poor stand is due to
the use of immature and broken seed
and to poor preparation OF the seed
bed and unfavorable weather condi-
tons. The immaturity of the nuts was
due to the fact that they were har-
vested too soon and picked from the
vines before they we're properly filed
out. The nuts were badly broken In
threshing. We viii look for better re-
suits next year. because the farmers
viii save their own seed and In many
cases pick them on by hand. Each
farmer who is growing peanuts. should
save his own seed and make a seIec-
ton of the best plants a. harvest
time. The ideal plant is one with a
heavy yield OF large, uniform nuts
clustered around the base Whenever
such a plant is found 1t should be
thrown aside and put up In separate

Not long ago in looking over a
bunch Of hogs In western Illinois we
observed that most of the animals
were AFFLICTED with little sores. red
spots. on the thin places In. their
skins.
These eruptions were particularly
noticeable back of the ear and on the
TANKS. The farmer complained that
his hogs we're not eating well and he
could not understand what caused the
sores to break out.
This bunch Of hogs of Al ages. from
three-months-old pigs to three-year-old
sows. ran on a pasture during the
day but at night slept in houses which
were used for the winter quarters.
I suggested that the trouble might
be caused by lice. and the farmer
caught two or three pigs and found
them almost alive with parasites. He
was astonished and admitted that he
had never examined one Of his ami
mails before.
Many farmers do not realize that
lice are a source OF tremendous loss
in the raising Of hogs. They worry
the animals and prevent their feeding
well. and in many cases produce sores
or eruptions which naturally retard
growth.
1t is not difficult to rid the pig of
lice by dipping or spraying, but these
remedies are of no use unless the
pens and sleeping quarters are rid OF
