Deep Flowing Essential.

In all dry.farming countries deep
plowing is essential. Equally neces.
sary is the use of the sub.surface
packer. blade harrow or some other
implement that will pack the furrow
slice firmly against the subsoil
These two things are essential to the
preparation of good seed bed and
a seed bed which will take up and
hold all the precipitation during the
fall land winter, says the Kansas
Farmer. Generally speaking. too
much plowing and narrowing Is done
for the express purpose Of getting
enough loose dirt on the surface to
cover the seed. As moisture is para.
mount to the growing of any crop,
methods conducive to the taking up
Of that moisture by the soil and the
holding OF the same In the soil for the
growing crop, are important factors
In crop production.

Makes Anyone Feel Old
Nothing ages anyone more quickly than

Nothing ages anyone more quickly than
weak kidneys.
1t is not alone the aching back, the ttiff,
painful joints, but the evil effect OF bad,
poisoned blood on the nerves, the vital
organs and the digestion.
The condition of the kidneys makes good
health or illhealth.
The kidneys are the filters of the blood.
Active kidneys filter from the blood ev-
cry day over one. ounce OF poisonous waste
and pass it off dissolved in the urine.
If the kidneys are weak or diseased, only
part of this tiltering is done and the blood
is heavy with uric acid and other poison
GUS or waste matter.
Instead of being nourshed by the
blood, the nerves and vital organs are ir-
ritated, and the circulation, digestion, etc..
are disturbed.
II your back aches constantly. If your
joints are stiff, lame and painful, suspect
the kidneys.
Kidney sufferers are likely to feel dull,
heavy, restless at night. rheumatic, dizzy
at times. subject to headaches and an

make work an agony and rest impossible.

wooded sections many growers have
dispensed with them. This is not due
to the labor and expense of handling
alone, but experience has proved that
the advantages Of growing hops on
strings so far surpass the growth on
poles that It is only question OF
time when poles will be almost en-.
tirely abandoned. The hops are
healthier on strings. more successful.

can be picked without cutting the

since 1t prevents the return of ma.
terials from the vine to the root
Of the hop. and, by causing loss Of
food reserves to the stock, produces a
weakening effect on the succeeding
crop.
In picking. every effort should be
made to reduce to a minimum the
quantity Of leaves. stems and other
foreign material. The presence of
leaves In cured hops renders them un.
slightly and materially reduces their
market value. The opinion is fre.
quently expressed by the more i'm.
portant hop dealers that one of the
principal points for raising the quality
OF the American hop is clean picking.
Hops must be dried soon after their
