Germs both young and old. Weak kid

lifelong suffering. People of advanced
years, with less vitality, suffer doubly.
In youth or age, languor, backache,

There is one remedy that acts di-
rectly on the kidneys and cures these
troubles. Doans Kidney Pills owe
their worldwide fame to the fact that
they cure sick kidneys and cure them
permanently. Follow the example of
this Dallas citizen and you will be con-

Old Weapon Found.

EUGENE, April 29.--W. L. Wheel
er, of Pleasant Hill, while plowing in
one of his fields last week turned over
in the form of an old cap and ball
pepper box" revolver, of the type
used by the earliest settlers. The old
weapon, which has six barrels, and is
about as easy to handle as a piece of
field artillery, was unearthed on the
site of the Templeman cabin, on the
Coast Fork of the Willamette, one of
the earliest structures in this part of
the valley. 1t is believed that the
weapon was lost more than'50 years
ago.

At no time since Pacific coast fruit
growers began shipping their produce
to eastern markets has the fruit thus
shipped been placed upon central and
eastern markets IN finer shape both as
regards appearance and quality than
has been the case this present season.
Peaches. pears. nectarlnes and the
several large varieties of plums have
been displayed In the large and small
markets. and the sale has been un-
usually large. Without question this
Is in part due TO the scarcity Of fruit
In many of the central states hut the
large sale Is also due TO the fine quail
ity and condition of the western fruit.
This In turn is the result Of greater
care in picking and handling. uniform
ity in grading and packing and TO the
better facilities for cooling fruit before
Il Is started ON its long Journey east.
Western fruit growers should make
the most Of the advantage which has
been theirs this year. for there Is little
question that with care In packing
and shipping and the exercise Of good

SCIENCE ON THE FARM.
Enables the Farmer to Trade 81 For
SO, Says a Scientist.

a
! Carrying Scientific Agriculture to
the Farmer" was recently discussed
r by Dean ii. L. Russell, University of
Wisconsin: Scientific agriculture is
permanent agriculture. The Chinese
, have more fertile soil than ours be-
cause they have applied scientific ag-
riculture. Holland produces thirty
three bushels of wheat per acre. We
produce thirteen bushels.
Great interest could be aroused by
convincing our people that there is
an undiscovered continent whose soil
Is as productive as ours. We will find
that continent when we discover the
methods by which our soils can be
made to double their production. Our
| experiment stations have discovered
the secret but that will do no good
until the tillers of the soil understand
1t. The publications of our stations
must reach our people and be read by
them. Information must be put in
concrete form; 1t must be visualized.
Three things are necessary in farming
first, improved seed; second, improv-
ed production; third, reduction OF, loss.
We are appointing county demon
strators who go into each county and
employ the "show me" method of
farming. Corn. wheat and other grains |
and crops are planted and the cultiva-
tion done before the farmer and his |
help.
The farmer may be prejudiced
against new methods, but this opposi-
tlon yields when he is shown the bet
ter way. Wisconsin was driven from
raising wheat by the chinch bug, but
this bug was godsend to agriculture
because the farmers went into the
dairy business.
BY growing wheat we increased our
bank account and depleted our soils;
by dairying we both increase our bank
account and the fertility Of our farms.
The purchase OF 50 worth of phos-
lhorus on stock farm Increased our
'rops so worth. We are always willing {
o trade So for 50. There is a limited 4
lmount Of phosphorus in our soils, [
nd to keep up the phosphorus content {
We buy for $40 as much phosphorus in \

that apples may remain upon the
trees all winter and be picked in the
