Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says well-known authority.
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked:

sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid

The moment your back hurts or kid

bothers you, get about four ounces OF
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.

Fig s-Diagram Showing
GOOD ROAD DRAWS TRAFFIC
Expectation That Easy Traction
Will Attract More Wheels.

AS molasses draws flies in the sum-
mer time so a good road draws traffic.
Builders of highways designed to en-
dure under the stress of modern traffic
should comprehend this fact. Students
of these problems have the past few
years manifested commendable inter-
est in observing and recording con-
ditions which bear materially on a
consideration of ways and means. It
has been officially noted that where
dirt roads have been improved by
gravel top dressing traffic has in
creased largely, and not infrequentIy
that increase has. reached 300 per cent,
says Breeders Gazette Where a sur
face of concrete has been supplied the
increase in travel has been known to
reach 500 per cent. These facts are
easy of comprehension, although 1t re-
Quires just such careful observation to
record them In impressive figures.
They enforce strongly the necessity Of
building well. Road improvements
must not be calculated merely to care
for current traffic. They must be built
In the expectation that their easy, safe
and pleasant traction will draw wheels
in greatly augmented number and will
impose burdens heretofore unknown.
For that reason the greatest caution
should be exercised to see that the
specifications of construction are
drawn TO meet this enlarged burden,
this peak load" Modern road build
ing is no child's play. That commu-
nifty is in pitiable condition which
tolerates in the Office or road com
missioner or overseer a man who can
not grasp the fact that old methods
must pass away.

WOULD SAVE HALF MILLION
Report to Legislature of Board of
Public Affairs, Shows Economy
Possible by Efficiency.

Madison.-The state board of public
affairs in its report to the legislature
will say that half million dollars can
be saved annually in the adnrinistra-
ton of state affairs. 1t points out that
100000 can be saved in the admins
tration of state normal schools, $780,
900 In state printing. twice that
amount in the administration of the
state university. and $1o0,0 900 in gen.
eral state administration.
The report, however, doth not lay
especial stress ON these savings More
attention Is given to what is termed
a program for social and economic
development and for the attainment of
greater efficiency in state administra-
ton"
Reports on the survey made of the
university, the normal schools and the
high schools and the investigation of
state printing are to be made separate
iy to the legislature. Investigation of
the board on the problems of farm
ownership, rural credit systems, farm

cultural products are discussed at
length, while the work of installing
uniform accounting systems in the
state departments and various state
institutions is reviewed
Several investigations" says the
report were made and hearings were
held to ascertain what proportion of
the price paid by the consumer of
agricultural products goes to the farm
er for that product. AS a result of
these investigations the Sheboygan
County Cheese Producers federation
was organized. The members of this
board believe that such assistance as
was rendered by this board and the
University of Wisconsin in the organi-
cation of this cooperative association
made it model of its kind and a bene-
fit to the dairy industry of Wisconsin.
During the eight months this organi-
cation did business it handled $3.50, 1886
pounds of cheese, for which its mem
bers received $7S4,277."

DANISH PEER DIES INCOGNlTO

Royal Title in Life, But Wears
Ribbon of Rank in Death.

Kenosha.-A son of Danish peer,
a man who one time carried with his
name the title to vast but ruined es-
tates in both Denmark and Moray.
died in humble cottage in Kenosha,
and it was not until after his death
that the facts in regard to his early
life We're made public.
The man was Carl Christian julius
Won Ahlefeldt Lauvigen, only son of
Adolph Won Ahlefeldt Lauvigen former
Danish peer, whose ancestral estate
was Tornholm, Korsor, Sjalland. He
was 81 years old and had carefully
concealed from Danes in Kenosha the
story of his life.
Here he was known as Julius Able
feldt, kindly disposed old man. His
one son Carl Ahlefeldt, an engineer.
had given him home since he came
here from Denmark some years ago.
He was buried here and wore on the
breast the ribbon of his rank.

tain high-class refrigeration by In.
stalling a misunderstanding system.
The principle on which this patented
system works is the same as mechan-
ical refrigeration, except that the cold
Is secured through a freezing mixture
of Ice and salt In a tank In which the
primary coils are located, as shown at
B in figure 3. AS the brine in these
coils becomes chilled it passes out
through the bottom of the coils and
slowly flows through the coils marked
g, which are located in the cooling
room. The heat of this room is abb
sorbed by these chilled pipes, and as
the brine warns up 1t passes out and
up into the primary coils, and in this
way a continuous circulation is main
tanned between the two pipe systems.
For convenience. the ice house can
be made a part of the structure, so
that the ice can be elevated above the
storage chamber and directly into the
crusher, which can be located In the
attic above the primary coils indi-
Gated at B. AS the drawing shows, the
space above the cooling room might
be utilized as a farm shop or for a
cooperage, if one were to be installed
~ connection with en- apple orchard.
1t would not be advisable to attempt
to install this system without having
an experienced engineer calculate the
piping necessary for any given storage
room as well as the cooling tank. The
question of installation is also very
important one, and should be carefully
specified.
This construction is adapted to
small or to very extensive plants. The
department of agriculture used this
system in plant which has been in
stalled at the Arlington experimental
farm. The cooling room in this case
is % by 80 feet with eight-foot cell
ings. Sufficient space is thereby pro-
vided to store 500 barrels of apples.
Detailed information regarding the
storage of butter and cheese may be
had by those interested In two bulle-
tins of the United States department
Of agriculture. Bulletin SO, bureau of
animal industry, gives information on
cheese, and Bulletin "a, bureau of ami
NAL industry, on butter. These pamph-
lets will be sent free of charge as long
as the supply lasts, after which they
may be purchased FOR small price

GOOD QUALITIES OF MANURE
All Growing Plants Require Certain
Food Elements Which Must Be Sc
cured From the Soil.

Some farmers used to have the no
ton that the only reason they had for
hauling manure onto the fields was
to get 1t out of their way This class
of men would have thrown the fer
tilizer into hole had one been handy.
OF late it is difficult to find farmer
who does not believe in the fertilizing
qualities of manure Manure is the
cheapest and most efficient fertilizer
which the farmer can use upon his
land.
Growing plants require certain food
elements which must be secured from
the soil. All plants require the same
ingredients; but the amounts vary in
different plants. The farmer who puts
his land In good shape during the fall
and winter by fertilizing 1t with ma
nure will raise the big grain crops the
following summer.
Live stock manure contains about
so per cent of the plant food elements
contained in the food eaten by the
stock. This food was taken from the
soil; SO it is only reasonable that If 1T
Is not returned in some form the soil
will become depleted. Barnyard ma
nure is mixed with bedding, which
contains the plant food elements taken
from the ground that produced its
growth. Naturally this combination is
not as strong in fertilizing elements
as pure manure; but 1t has immense
value as fertilizer. The bedding abb
serbs the liquids, which would other
wise be a loss. The organic portion OF
a load of manure is just as valuable
for fertilizing purposes as the nitro
gen. potash, acid. etc, contained In
the manure. Before the organic por-
ton is of value as fertilizer 1t must
pass through a process Of rotting.
This process turns It into humus-one
of the elements in which many soils
are most lacking
