A. Warning TO Many
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
Health Statistics.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the con-
dition of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of
serious illness, makes a chemical an
aiysis Of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are do
ing their work PROPERLY, the other
organs cannot. be brought back TO
health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
afoused 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, 1t behoves
us to pay more attention to the health
of these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as g. kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmers Swamp-Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for It's remarkable
record Of cures.
If you feel that your kidneys re-
quire attention, and wish a sample

Then put a hoed crop On the thistle
patches the second year, unless they
are too numerous and scattered. II
mangolds or stock beets ar tuTnips or
rutabagas are planted on these patch
es and if the thistles are killed by
August first, clover or grass seed can
be sowD among the roots and covered
lightly with a spike tooth drag. The
following year the field vial all be
seeded. This succeeded admirably
with US in Graduating quacis grass.
III II Canada thistles are scat
tered In grain ar pasture crops and
are not too numerous, they CAN be
subdued by the Use of the thistle spud
which can be procured Of sny hard-
ware dealer thlugh he may not keep
them IN stock. Mark the patches in
some way or other and then cut the
thistles off below the ground every
ten days or so after they start IL the
spring. This tgol and the method just
described are satisfactory where the
thisties are not too numerous, as
where new patches are starting IN
pasture, grain crops, along Fences, In
lanes, woodlots, etc.
". / have seen Canada thistles
completely destroyed by cutting them
close to the ground with a scythe just
as the blossoms opened, but this
probably will not occur except where
followed by dry weather and adverse
growing conditions. 1t Is better not
to reply upon this method.
Success can only be obtained In
combating Canada thistles by follow
ing up the methods of eradication pa
tiently and perseveringly. Unfortu-
nately the shortage and high price of
labor too often prevent the farmer
from doing the things he wants to at
the proper time.
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1912-08-31

The ease or difficulty experienced in
.Seradicating Canada thistles depends
on the kind OF soil and the character
propagate readily by root-stalks which
run under the ground. they spread
more rapidly and are much more
difficult to eradicate In loose, open,
porous soils than in heavy clays.
Grain crops are more favorable for
their continuance than cultivated
crops such as corn, beans, roots. etc,
providing the latter are properly cared
for.
d i. Canada thistles can be complete
!ly eradicated in q single season by
thorough summer following, but this
3 IS Gn expensive system and should not
be employed unless an entire field has
: been taken possession Of so as to
, make It impossible to grow crop.
II. The best method Is to follow
with two cultivated crops in success
sion, as corn after corn. with manure
applied between the two crops if pos
sible. Cultivate thoroughly, using this
Ele sweeps on the cultivator; these
are cultivator points with wings and
are from eight to ten inches wide;
they can be attached to almost any
;cultivator with sweeps after the corn
s. too big for two-horse rig. Check
row corn if possible so as to cultivate
both ways If thistles are in patches
which are not too numerous, give
these spots more frequent cultivation
than the balance of the field. The
secret OF success consists in keeping
the t,.istles underground; this done
they must smother.
