SERIOUS BACKACHE

When your back aches, and your blad-
der and kidneys seem to be disordered, re-
member it is needless to suffer-go to your
nearest drug store and get bottle of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root. 1t is a physician
prescription for diseases of the kidneys
and bladder.
It has stood the test of years and has
a reputation for quickly and effectively
giving results in thousands of cases.
This prescription was used by DR.. Kill
mer in his private practice and was so
very effective that it has been placed on
sale everywhere. Get bottle, SOC and

However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR.,

tSy G. H. Afford. State Demonstration
Agent, Maryland)
G. w. Lau, who lives on the
Magnolia Crest farm, six miles from
tho city of Davenport, in Scott county,
Iowa, is man of such a diversity OF
interests and carries ON so many inter
esting and valuable experiments that
we can learn much by a study OF his
methods. Mr.. Lau owns 100 acres OF
land. Of this 100 is tillable, while 40
is left in permanent pasture and car
ries about one head Of cattle per acre.
This ground is low and has a very
troublesome ditch running its entire
length, making it difficult to maintain
fences and impracticable to cultivate.
He believes that he can double the
carrying capacity of this pasture by
disking in the ground occasionally and
sowing in a mixture of grasses. He
will try a mixture Of timothy, blue
grass, white clover and sweet clover
seeded in two-year-old alfalfa field to
produce pasture of this sort next sea-
son. Mr.. Lau believes in rotating pas
lures wherever this is possible.
First Success With Alfalfa.
Mr.. Lau maintains rotation Of two
years of corn, one year of barley in
which alfalfa is sown, followed by two
years of alfalfa. He can rightly claim
the distinction of having first gained
an unqualified success in the growing
of alfalfa in Scott county. He now
has on the place some 80 acres de-
voted to this crop. So firm is his faith
in the alfalfa plant that he has dis
carded red clover entirely and expects
to follow a rotation in which alfalfa
has a prominent part. He also has
placed his seal Of condemnation on
timothy.
Charles Lau says that one years
seeding is five years wedding. To pre-
vent this he clips his stubbles with the
mower before the weed seed ripens.
This is better than blowing early and
exposing the land to parching suns
and teaching rains.
From 40 to 60 acres of corn are
grown and the average production is
bout IS bushels per acre. The seed
s gathered early and the ears placed
Il ricks in the open doorway Of his
barn loft. In this way it is located in

Wilma Worker.

An amusing incident is told which
took place in one of the occupied dis
tricts of Belgium where the German
occupier doles out potatoes to such
Of the starving people as agree to work
for him. One recipient presented HIM
self before the German authorities and
declared himself quite ready in return
for a supply of potatoes to work for
the Germans and only for them. He
seemed quite decided and genuine in
his offer of work.
"Then you are quite willing to sign
the declaration?' asked the German
officer.
Yes, quite willing"
"And what is your trade?"

Belgian todidly.-LOndOn Everyman.

able, as they cost very little, clean up
the weeds and transform much rough
age into money through the sale Of
wool and mutton. He now has II ewes
and gets about ten pounds of wool
at the average clipping. Before he
kept sheep, he had great deal Of
rag weed in his pasture, but now a rag
weed is a scarce article on his farm.
Experience With Hogs.
Mr.. Lau has had many and varied
experiences with hogs. He raises from
70 to 80 head of Poland China per
year. In the "a years he has farmed,
he had cholera three times. In 1912
1t broke out and from some so or 60
head he saved about rs. They were
not treated, as Mr.. Lau had no faith in
serum at that time, having made test
the preceding year with some So
called serum which was being used
in the county. He treated with this
two Of his hogs and put them in a
neighboring herd where cholera pre-
vailed. In a short time they contract
ed the disease and died and Mr.. Lau
was convinced that the serum treat
ment for hogs was failure.
However, the success of the treat
ment at the Iowa farms near Daven-
port soon set him to thinking again
and he secured three pigs in the fall
OF 1912 from the Iowa farms which
had been given the simultaneous
treatment and placed them in three In
fected herds In his neighborhood. All
three pigs weathered the storm sue
cessfully, although nearly all the hogs
in the three herds died. That put q
new aspect to the subject and In the
summer of 1913 Mr.. Lau gave all his
pigs the serum-simultaneous treatment
without any loss, although cholera pre-
vailed In the neighborhood. He now
gives his hogs the serum-simultaneous
treatment every year.
Mr.. Lau raises about 100 head OF
chickens each year, planning to sell
off the cockerels and old hens each
winter and keeps the pullets. He sells
them dressed at 20 cents per pound in
Davenport He has had considerable
trouble with chicken cholera and with
blackhead in turkey, being compelled
to cease raising the latter fowl on that
account.
Gross Returns.
There are few farms in Scott county
which give higher gross returns Per
acre than that operated by Mr.. Lau
His gross returns for 1914 from his

1t is interesting to note that Mr..
Lau realized $1,000 in cash from his
1914 crop of alfalfa. There was no
better field of alfalfa in Scott county
last year. He put up over five tons
per acre from these cuttings. In 1918
he cut five tons per acre and was Of
fered $40 per ton for all of it. He es-
Inmates that it costs $3.50 per ton to
put it up. The first cutting in 1914
he kept for feed and it carried 40 head
of cattle, Is sheep and horses
through the winter, while the second,
third and fourth cuttings returned him

PROTECTIVE ASSN.
HOLDS MEETIN c

The Merchants Protective Associa-
ton held meeting in the offices of
the chamber of commerce Friday
morning to discuss certain advertis-
ing schemes which had been present
ed to retail merchants in Pensacola.
The meetings of the association are
always called when any matter of this
kind somes up for decision, so that
immediate action can be taken.
The association is organized chief
ly to protect the merchants from
fraudulent advertising schemes, many
of which are introduced every month.
While the action of the committee is
by no means binding on the mer-
chants, it is very rare that any store
in the city accepts a proposition after
it has been condemned by this COM
mittee.

MARIANNE WINS
HALF OF SEASON

The first half Of the Tri-County
League has ended and Mariana I,al
with a percentage of $50; Gracevilfe
second, with .683. Saturday a meet
ing of the officers was held and pro-
tests on three games won by Grace
vile, playing Childs, were ordered re-
played. However, Graceville refused
to do this and drew out of the or
ganization. Another meeting was
held and a three-team schedule was
drawn up.
Last Friday our team went over to
Graceville and lost the game by a
score of 5 to 4. In losing this game,
though, the local lads were far enough
in the lead to close the first half of
the season as winners.
Tuesday, Chipley came over and
played the locals, losing to them by a
score of 8 to 2. Price was on the
firing line for the locals until the
sixth inning, and held the visitors at
his mercy. In this frame Fender went
on the mound and, with the aid of a
bunch of errors, allowed the visitors
to ring up two scores, one in the
seventh and one in the ninth Ellis
Davis was the receiver, and did good
work.
| The feature of this game was the
home run by Earle Price, when he
slammed one out to deep left. The
ball was lost for some fifteen minutes
or longer in the weeds.
The visitors did not put up their
usual snappy game, and in the second
inning batting rally with one walk
and errors netted the locals four runs
