ITS YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles. A Canaan Citizen
 Gives a Valuable Hint.

Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from a lame. weak or aching back they think that it is only muscular weakness when urinary trouble sets in they think 1t 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
 Bright's disease. The best remedy to use for ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys is Doan's Kidney Pills. Read the experience of a resident of Canaan who has tested Doan's.
 S. Drum, S. Main St., Canaan, Conn. says II recommend Doan's Kidney Pills whenever have the opportunity. My back and kidneys caused me great deal of trouble. The kidney secretions were irregular ill passage, causing me much annoyance and 1 suffered from pains through my back and sides. Doans Kidney Pills, procured at Thur lough's Drug Store, drove away the pains and regulated the passages of the kidney secretions.

About the only service, we ever heard of the English sparrow performing a friend related to us the other day. fl A nearby willow hedge had! been well nigh defoliated by myriads 2. of fat, juicy willow worms. One. morning just at daybreak cloud of sparrows, evidently summoned from miles around, lit down, on these willows, and in less time than it takes to tell had devoured the last worm.

The secret of digging out from an indebtedness incurred in the purchase of farm, If secret there be, consists in a complete concentration of both energy and funds on the one object in view This means that the farmer who would quit paying interest at the earliest possible moment should not get baIled up with a steam thrashing outfit or attempt to handle an auto mobile agency Either one is enough to dissipate the energies of the best man that ever lived. d.yH5sI Imd asI }

In certain districts of England the guinea pig is being put to very prac- tical use as an extermlnator of weeds on private lawns and golf grounds. The area to be cleared Is surrounded with low wire fencing and the little fellows turned in.

The evolutionary theory of animal development which holds that the wren harks back to the same ancestor as the eagle. a mouse the same as a monkey, seems strangely negatiyed in the stertlity of the hybrid crosses of even species that are closely allied e. g., the jack and mare, the buffalo and domestic COW, the Canada and tame goose. The offspring of these unions are barren, but why the most distinguished eyolutionists cannot tell. Nature has put up her finger and said, "Thus far shalt thou go, but no far ther."

A friend brought us a specimen of a weed the other day which was to- tai stranger to us. The stalk was about eighteen inches high, the leaves were compound and somewhat more finely divided than the common wild Eetch, and the fruit it bore was a small light brown bur, having a solid core about the' size and shape of a bean. The botan1st at the state ex- pertinent station, to whom a specimen of the weed was sent, states that it is the wild licor1ce, related to and re sembling the Hcorice of commerce. The weed is a troublesome one in the Utah basin, but is readily held in check elsewhere by thorough cultiva- ton.

Unlike our own greatest river, the Mississippi, whose overfowing follow ing the melting of snow and spring rains deals havoc to the rich lowlands bordering its lower channel, the an nual overflow of the river Nile is talk en as a matter of course and not only does no damage, but yearly deposits hundreds of thousands of tons of rich virgin soil, brought from the noun tains, whence the stream and its trib- utaries have their rise. Thus it has been for scores of centuries, the an nual seedtime following the recession of the waters.

This happened a short time ago during a storm which passed over the section in which the writer lives. The lightning struck a huge cotton wood tree and knocked it to splinters. One of these, more than four feet long and as big as ones wrist, was hurled a distance of twelve rods from the front of one farm home across the road and into the yard of neighbor.

The beneficial effects coming from putting in extensive intercounty drain age systems in number of sections of Minnesota and Iowa are now fairly apparent. Country that previously would grow practically nothing in wet seasons but wild hay are this year covered with bumper crops of corn or have produced paying crops of wheat, oats or flax. This condition has been hastened by two dry seasons, but in seasons of normal rainfall the improve ment in the condition of the soil as a result of proper drainage will be very noticeable. It has taken a whole lot of persuasion and some litigation to get a few farmers to look at this drain rge proposition in the right light, but rfter the next rainy season they stay lGaverted.
