MAKING THE WOOD LOT PAY
Farmers Cannot Afford to Keep Un-
profitable Land Every Acre
Means Money in Carrying.

The farm wood-lot problem is a very
important one. It is the problem OF
making the wood lot pay. Farmers
can no more afford to keep Improbable
land than they can afford to keep un-
profitable cows Idle land which is
not growing more valuable is like a
boarder in the dairy herd: it eats up
part of the profit made elsewhere.
Good farm management may or may
not call for the opening of an actual
book account with the wood lot, but
every good farmer needs to know at
the close of the year whether he is
richer or poorer for his timbered land.
1t costs money to hold land. Every
acre means carrying cost. The tenant
farmer pays this cost in rent. The
man who works his own farm should
be able to earn at least rent and
wages. II he sold the farm and put
the money in a good savings bank 1t
would yield him a yearly income with
out the lifting OF finger. His farm
is an investment. It should be pay
ing investment.
II the wood lot does not directly or
indirectly compensate for taxes and
interest allowance on it's value. 1t is
not doing its share toward making the
farm pay. 1t is being carried at q net
loss.

WHAT GOOD FLOWING MEANS

CBy A. c. ARMY

(By A. c. ARMY
Good plowing means more than
making the field appear black. 1t
means more than making straight fur
rows. However. a good plowman usu-
ally makes straight furrows. In a
well-plowed field the soil is stirred
and pulverized to the depth indicated
as necessary by the kind of soil and
the crop to be grown; and the stub
BILE and rubbish are completely turned
under where it will be out OF the way
and quickly decomposed. For most
crops. deep, rather than shallow plow-
ing. is the best practice.
To do good work with minimum
of power, plows must be equipped with
properly shaped and sharpened shares.
A good share allows a plow to run
true and little or no effort is necessary
to hold it in place.
To turn under all rubbish a good
jointer properly adjusted is necessary.
No stubble or weeds are left sticking
up between the burrows where a good
jointer is used.
Keep the plowshare properly shaped
and sharpened. Use a jointer SO that
all rubbish is turned under complete
ly. Increase the depth Of plowing an
inch or two each year for several sea
sons.

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of Sc
rious illness, makes a chemical analysis
of the patients urine. He knows that un-
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way. serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health OF these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as kidney remedy il
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real,

verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
we'll known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi

the cause is often given as heart dis

CONTROL DISEASE OF APPLE
Most Effective Treatment for Blight
Is to Cut Out Every Affected
Twis and canker.

(By J. B. S. NORTON. Maryland Expert
ment Station.D
The most effective treatment for
the control of apple blight consists
in cutting out the diseased parts. In
young orchards and in nurseries
where there is naturally but little
blight. and in old orchards in seasons
when blight is not serious, by cutting
out every blighted twig and canker
as soon as possible. giving special at
tention to the body and base of the
tree, bad outbreak may be prevented
in following years. 1t is also neces-
sary to destroy all blight in the neigh
borhood on wild or cultivated trees as
the bees may carry it long distances.
Bees are, however, necessary to pol
lenate the flowers.
When old bearing trees are badly
infected. winter Is the best time to
cut out the blight. The cuts on large
branches or in the trunk should be
brushed with a disinfectant and when
dry protected by painting with white
lead in linseed oil. In cutting blight
in the growing season. it is important
to wipe the pruning instrument after
each cut on a cloth or sponge wet with
either carbolic acid, concentrated
lime-sulphur, s per cent formalin, or
other disinfectant to prevent reinfec.
tion of the next cut. Cut twice sew
eral inches below where the blight
shows, as in spring the germs extend
much farther in than they show on
the outside.

DESTROY ALL GRAPE INSECTS

Several grape insects winter among
the fallen grape leaves in trash in

destroy them il the trash is ralled to-
gether and burned.
Such work will be Of value against
the grape berry moth and the grape
leaf folder. which hibernate in the
pupal condition in the fallen grape
leaves.
The grapevine flea beetle and the
grape leaf hopper spend the winter as

Storing Roots.

Carrots should be dug earlier than
the more hardy crop. They can be
stored in a cave, pit. cellar or any
cool, well ventilated place where the
roots will not freeze. Satisfy, parsnips
and horse-radish are hardy and may
be left in the ground all winter with
out danger of loss from freezing.
However, there is always demand
for these roots during the winter. and
some of them should be stored for
the winter trade.
