ARTIFICIAL RAIN.
Overhead lrrisatien Systems . Boon

Overhead irrigation Systems . Boon
70 Truck Farmers.
We hear much of scientific farming
nowadays, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. yet most Of Us have only the
haziest idea Of what 1t, consists. Many
Of us realize, however, that intensive
farming, because Of its extreme de-
pendence upon natural conditions, Is a
most uncertain business. Naturally.
therefore, the 1rst call upon science has
been to supplement these deficiencies.
How many know that a simple, prac-
teal rain machine can be easily and
quickly installed On the vegetable
farm. Artificial rainfall" may sound
like a mere dream Of a Woodworking
grower whose crops are dried up: 1t
may seem that q rain machine could
only be within the reach Of the wealthy
dabbler In agriculture. On the other
hand, perhaps the growers, all within
two hours ride of Philadelphia, can
turn on a rain" by the simple opening
Of a valve.
II you have v e visited or ridden
through the vegetable growing sections
of Philadelphia you must have noticed
rows Of pipe supported on posts run
ming through the field. This was the
rain machine.
Overhead irrigation is the invention
which has made dreams Of artificial
rain come true. The system consists
Of overhead pipes supported by posts
running through the field at intervals
Of fifty feet. Small brass nozzles are
inserted in the distributing pipes at
distances of about three feet. The wa
ter is distributed in the form Of a fine
rain.
Within two hours ride of Philadel.
phia there are vegetable farms which
produce as high as $500 an acre.
Neither California nor Florida can
boast of any higher profits, yet these
results are obtained on New Jersey
soil, worth but a few dollars an acre
without irrigation. Scientific fertilizn-
ton. perfect control Of rainfall, cou
pied with thorough knowledge of grow.
Ing, has achieved such results.
The day Of trust to the weather
farming is rapidly passing. and the old
fashioned grower who gets a crop one
year and loses 1t the next is destined
to be forced out Of business. Each
year it is becoming more difficult for
him to compete successfully with com.
petition which has eliminated all losses
by drought.
Florida, with a rainfall above the
average, can scarcely mature a crop
successfully without irrigation. New
Jersey. a typical humid state, shows
an annual rainfall from forty to fifty.
four inches, but with this it cannot reg.
ularly produce truck crops successful.
~. In twenty successive growing sea.
sons there have been a total Of 127
droughts Of more than ten days each.
an average of six droughts each year.
In every growing season New Jersey
has an average of more than seventy
days in which there is too little mois.
ture for garden crops.
This type Of irrigation is just as up.
plicable to the small kitchen garden
and to the lawn. flowers or shrubbery.
Scientific farming is still in its in.
fancy, but its biggest problem is solv.
ed. The business of growing is rapidly
achieving the stability Of a manufac.
turing enterprise.

The time to begin to train Is with
very young children. The place is the

the child's individuality. If it seems

A house. to be the ideal environ

beautiful, of course, but It should have
the beauty of simplicity and find the
beauty in it's surroundings without de.
pending on elaborate furnishings.
Perhaps the best way to train q
child's taste, IL the child seems rather
hopelessly deficient, is to let him work
things according to his own ideas for
a little while. If a little girl likes
gaudy colors, let her have a frock of
q gaudy color, which she herself cho0s-

himself dislike them soon enough. but
his friends will doubtless make fun Of
them. and so they will become tntol-

years who chose for the wall paper

very, little girl. But he wanted that
paper, and he got 1t. 1t had not been
on his wall very long before he re-
allied his mistake. OF course he had
to put up with it for months, but its
presence there taught him a lesson in
interior decorating he never forgot.

THE new FREEZER

IN Your Home.
FOOD VALUE OF IT IS GREAT.

A Domestic Science Expert Talks
About the Substitutes For This Hot
Weather DsIicaey-Ths Real Thing
Dishes Out Quite Different From
Gslatinous Mixtures.
The government standard calls for
an ice cream made of cream, sugar and
favoring and containing from IL to II
per cent Of butter fat. Since ream
itself averages about 20 per cent Of
fat and may have as much as 40. this
would not seem unreasonable, but
many there be who consider ice cream,
made Of cream, to be the dream of an
idealist and too rich for the average
taste and digestion.
If you don't want a straight ice
cream, we'll and good. If a frozen Gus
tard, q sherbet or a cornstarch pudding
is preferred, have 1t, but buy 1t and.
incidentally, pay for it under Its own
name. Don't call 1t ice cream
Let ice cream be sold as such to pre-
vent fraud, that the invalid, the con-
~:valescent and the child may not get
something they should not have, and
that every one may know what he is

per cent of sugar and with an energy

OF course II one wants a sturdy,
companionable product, one that will
sit about socially with the family on a
warm summer evening and show no
disposition to run away, then a starch

milk and flavoring to give 1t character.
is Just the thing, but 1t isn't ice cream.
While various dangers threaten Ice
cream, the most serious are those due
to the use of carelessly handled cream
containing disease organisms or strep-
tococci, the melting and %refreezing Of
the product and Its manufacture or
storage in %uncleanly, %insanitary places.
We cannot depend upon the freezing
nor even upon pasteurization to de-

ence of colon bacilli. acquired during
the process of manufacture while the

1t is a good plan to know your ice
cream maker like a brother or to make
it yourself. And obviously the children
should be warned against the ice
cream zone and the wayside stand that

WILSON is PAVING
Durant Has Good Words for Carter
County City.

Mr.. W. S. Hawkins. Durants eff
cient city engineer last Friday night
was awarded the engineering con-
tract for nine blocks of paving in the
business section of the prosperous
little city Of Wilson, which is in the
oil fields near Ardmore.
There were several other engineers
after the contract, including some
big engineering concerns. and Mr..
Hawkins success is due to the repu-
tation he has for efficiency.
Wilson is only three years old, but
has $500 people, live Chamber of
Commerce with a paid secretary, and
the Chamber of Commerce assisted
in putting the paving proposition
through. But they worked so effec-
lively that there was only one man
in the entire paving district who re-
fused to sign the petition for the
paving
Wilson is a growing town and with
the present Chamber of Commerce to
boost will no doubt prosper very
fast Besides the oil resources from
which it draws goodly supply Of
revenue tits in the center of a good

also to depend on.

KIDNEY DISORDER.

(By DR.. l.. c. Babcock).
Simple methods are usually the
most effective ones when treating any
disorder of the human system. The
mere drinking a cup of hot water
each morning, plenty of pure water
all day, and little Anuric before
every meal has been found the most
effective means of overcoming kidney
trouble. Death would occur if the
kidneys did not work day and night
in separating poisons and uric acid
from the blood.
The danger signals are backache,
depressions, aches, pains, heaviness,
drowsiness. irritability, headaches,
chillness, rheumatic twinges, swollen
joints, gout.
1t is such a simple matter to step
into your favorite drug store and
obtain Anuric, which was first dis
covered by Dr. Pierce, of the Surgical
Institute. Buffalo, n. Y. Every drug
gist dispenses it.
All people in America and especial
ly those who are past middle age
are prone to eat too much meat and
in consequence deposit uric acid
(uric salts) in their tissues and
joints. They often suffer from
twinges of rheumatism or lumbago,
from gout, swollen hands
or feet. Such people are not always
able to exercise sufficiently in the
outdoor air in order to sweat freely
and excrete impurities thru the skin.
Anuric will overcome such conditions
as rheumatism, dropsical swellings,
cold exteremities, scalding and burn
ing urine and sleeplessness due to
constant need of getting out of bed
at night, by carrying off the uric acid
poison.
