Kidney Troubles Attack Pleasantville
Men and Women, Old and Young.

Kidney ills seize young and old;
often come with little warning; chill
dren suffer in their early years-can't
control the kidney secretions. Girls
are languid, nervous, suffer pain. Wo-
men worry, can't do daily work. Men
have lame and aching backs. If you
have any form of kidney ills you must
reach the cause.-The kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys
The following testimony proves
their worth:
D. C. Herbert, Belleview Ave-, Ham
monitor, N. J., says: 81 used Doan's
Kidney Pills for severe pains across
the small of my back and sides, caus-
ed bv disordered kidneys and the bene-
fit I obtained was highly satisfac-
tory. I had suffered from a long
standing case of lumbago and had
been liable to find a remedy that
would relieve me until I got Doan's
Kidney Pills. l take pleasure in re-
commencing them to other kidney suf-
ferers." Price SOC, at all dealers.
Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy,

Polly rose and went softly from

appeared with the sleeping child
pressed to her bosom. Into the
arms of the sick woman, she
placed the little form. With
motherly instinct, they closed

close with a sigh of contentment,

County Agents in Kansas
Continued from page a

work with a large membership
They published 400 articles in
local county papers and farm
journals, and wrote 100 circular
letters and bulletins on agricul-
tural subjects with a total dis
tribution of $4,000. They also
distributed experiment station
bulletins and bulletins from the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
to the number of l3,43O.
They wrote personal letters to
1928; they helped to develop
agricultural instruction at 2l3
schools with an attendance OF
1882 pupils; 58l bureau members
and other farmers cooperated
with them in conducting demon
STATIONS of improved agricultural
practices on their farms; they
held numerous field meetings to
inspect these demonstrations with
a large total attendance; they
helped to organize farmers for
the prevention of the army worm
in three counties and thousands
of dollars of damage was pre-
vented by this effective work IN
insect prevention.
Fighting the Hessian Fly.
The farmers of four counties
where the Hessian fly formerly
caused great damage were intlu-
enced by the farm bureaus and
the agents to sow their wheat
after the fly free date, and in
these counties now there is very
little Hessian fly, while in neigh
boring counties the Hessian fly
is abundant and is causing un-
told damage. Ten thousand
acres of wheat were sown with
seed treated for smut according
to their directions, and alfalfa
was planted on 542 farms ac-
cording to the suggestions OF
the agents.
They helped to improve the
methods of using manure on
Isl farms and commercial fer
tilizers on 191 farms. On eighty
nine farms lime was used for
the first time, at their sugges-
tons, and 400 acres of clover,
677 acres of COW peas, and
2,o77 acres of sweet clover were
grown on their recommends
tons.
Live Stock Improvements.
The agricultural work done by
these bureaus in regard to live
stock is far reaching in its prob
able results. Through their as
sistance fifty-seven registered
bulls were secured, nine reg
istered rams, and thirty-four
registered boars, while twenty
registered sires of high quality
were transferred from one
county to another. Two hun.

THE MONTHLY MAGAZINE


Business Side of Farming.
The work of these agents, how
ever, relates not only to the pro-
duction side but also to the busi-
ness side of farming, Farmers
on l9l farms were influenced to
keep accounts of their business,
either partial or complete. Three
local cooperative associations
were organized, the value OF the
business done by them being APP
proximately Sl3,5oo. These were
organized not to compete with
other organizations, but to pre-
vent undue loss by selling or buy
ing in small lots when carload
lots might be handled as well.
Several farmers exchanges
were organized and the value OF
the business done by them was
approximately $4,000. One la
Dor exchange organized by one OF
the agents in cooperation with
commercial club placed 5000 men
with farmers during the harvest
season of 1914 Similar labor eX-
changes were conducted in prac-
tically every county where a farm
bureau was at work and many
men were supplied with work and
farmers with labor through them.
When one considers not only
the definite economic value, but
also the educational value OF
these things which were done,
and the influence that the demon
STATIONS and the other educa-
tional work has upon the COM
munities and counties where it is
done, it is difficult if not impos-
sible to assign any money valua-
ton to these activities. 1t will be
even more difficult in years to
come when every county may
have its own bureau for promot-
ing sound practice in agriculture
and home economies.
What this work Will mean 10
the wealth of the average farmer,
to the welfare of the average farm
home, and to better living in
every community in the State
would be difficult to overestl-
mate. When Kansas is thinking,
something is bound to happen,
and when that thinking is con-
corning the farm, the home, and
the activities of everyday life, the
things that happen will have the
most intimate relation to the wei
fare of its people.
To keep studying, keep think
ing, and to stay in the lead seems
to be the aim of Kansas. To do
SO it literally supports the work
of it's institutions, helps to make
their influence statewide and con-
siders them the best investment
proposition yet devised.
