HOT WATER AND "ANURIC"

All people in America and especially

prone to eat too much meat and in
consequence deposit lime salts in their
arteries. veins and joints They often
suffer from twinges of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes from govt, sWol-

INCREASE FARM CROPS
interesting Experiments in Crop
Rotation in Wisconsin.
Plan Outlined 70 Determine Value Of
Drainase-TiIed Land Can Be
Worked Much Earlier in Spring
Best for Truck Crops.

A series OF very interesting expert
ments in crop rotation were made sew
eral years ago in Wisconsin, to deter
mine the value of drainage. The fol-
lowing plan was adopted:
4 In the fall OF 1910 field contain
ing little less than six acres was
tiled. The land for the most part
was very wet and in the natural con-
dition timothy hay would not grow
on the greater part of it. Hedges grew
on at least half of the field. Another
field of about the same area and pos
sessing about the same degree of nat
ural drainage, was used as check on
the tiled land. Exactly the same kind
of crops were grown. and the same
treatment was given to the two fields
so far as possible. Surface drains
were provided in both cases. This
land, both tiled and untitled, had been
in meadow for ten or twelve years and
consequently was in a poor state of
fertility. This was especially true Of
the higher and better-drained parts.
The effect Of draining was very
marked in 1911, dro principally
to the fact that the tiled land could
be worked considerably earlier in the
spring. The differences ranged from
25 to 100 per cent in favor of the tiled
land. In 1912 the effect of thing was
not quite SO marked, as the dry wealth
er of that year permitted of better
drainage on the untitled land. The lat
erals were placed about seventy feet
apart and were not laid in regular or
der, but more in the order of what is
sometimes called the natural" sys-
tenn of thing. The depth varied from
1.8 feet to 3.5 feet.
On this land four-year rotation
was established as follows: Glover.

NEEDS OF GROWING ANIMALS

A growing animal needs large

life of young animal
The Wisconsin experiment station
has shown that IN cali feeding two
pounds of grain are equivalent to a
pound of butterfat, and is much
cheaper. Calves fed on skim milk may
not be rolling in fat. but IN the pro-
duction of dairy animals this is not
necessary Tor thrift ana vigor.

CLEANING UP FIELD STONES
Problem Of Vital Importance to Many
Farmers Drag Made Along Lines
shown Is Practicable.

How to get rid Of surplus field
stones with the least labor is prob.
lem Of vital interest to many farmers.
While clearing up stony farm we
have tried out many ways of handling
the work. At one time we built spe.
cial tool for gathering up small stones,
says writer in Rural New Yorker. It
was, in effect, an "a" drag, with the
wide opening ahead. The stones and
clods are left in windrows about seven
feet apart. When hauling away the
windrows the wagons can be loaded
from both sides. A few years ago we
cleared an excessively stony field of
seven acres at cost Of $35 for the
time Of the men employed. AS made
by us the tool was not entirely salts
factory; but the idea seems so well

PUREBRED STOCK IN DEMAND
When Pork Market is Low Is Best
Time for Buying Breeding Stock
Hogs Are Cheap Now.

When hogs are high there is big
demand for purebred stock. Breeders
get more money because the pork
value of their hogs makes them inde-
pendent of the cheap buyer and be-
cause the demand is sufficient to take
all their stock at good figures.
When hogs are low the demand for
purebred stock falls off, and breeders
are compelled to sell it for less than
when market hogs are commanding
good prices.
So when the pork market is low,
when the demand is least for breeding
stock, is the best time to invest in
purebred hogs. Just now hogs are
cheap and breeders have surplus for
sale at reasonable prices. And now is
the time to "go to it" and stock up
with purebred hogs.
Don't wait till everybody wants
them. Get them now and De ready
with a surplus Of your own for the
time when everybody wants them.
That time will come as surely as
night follows day.

worth developing that we give full de-
tails. We found 31s-inch clear space
between teeth was too wide, and halv-
ing it by inserting more teeth made
the teeth too close. A clear space Of
21s inches would be about right. The
teeth should be heavy enough to be
rigid. We used half-inch steel rods
and had so much trouble with the
teeth bending that we finally aban-
doned the use of the tool. The teeth
should have length of eight inches
in the clear. We found trouble in adj
justing the hitching to conform to
varying conditions of soil, the drag
fitting forward or backward too much.
We believe that drag made along the
lines indicated and provided with
wheels at the corners would be good
practical tool for clearing ground of
small stones, provided the soil can be
first put in good condition. It would
be pretty expensive on lumpy ground.
