from experience that topping cotton
is advantageous, and any farmer will
. find it to be so if he will try it. Thu
only question about it is one of econ
omy-that is whether the result will
be sufficient to pay for the labor, which
probably might be better employed at
the time. However, topping can be
done during what is an off season on
the farm. but as farmers go now, all
times are busy times with them. Top
ping by hand is a slow and tedious
process, but with pruning hook it
can be done rapidly. Possibly we NAV
have a topping machine after while,
and at any rate, we believe in the vir-
tue of topping.

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
Health Statistics

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases OF
serious illness. makes chemical an
alysis of the patients urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing
their work properly, the other organs
cannot be brought back to health and
strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results
are sure to follow According to
health statistics. Brights disease
which is really an advanced form OF
kidney trouble, caused nearly ten
thousand deaths in 1910, in the state
of New York alone. Therefore, Il
behooves us to pay more attention to
the health of these most important
organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation is soon realized it
stands the highest for its remarkable
record of cures.
