Spring FeUer?

This is the time OF year to look
out for trouble! We feel weak-our
blood seems hot-no appetite.-It's

the blood is clogged and we suffer
from what is commonly called a cold.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry purifes the blood and entirely
eradicates the poisons that breed and
feed disease. Pure blood IL essential
to good health. The weak, rundown.

FERTILlzE THE PEACH TREES
Delaware Experiment Station Reports
Series of Tests Made on
Seven-Year-Old Orchard.

That the fertilization of the second
the first in the peach orchard, has
been demonstrated by experiments car
ried on in Delaware. The experiment
station reports series of fertilizer ex-
periments operated for three seasons
on a seven-year-old peach orchard,
with a total cost for the seven years
of $136.50 an acre. The gross receipts
for three crops were $1,773.6S per acre,
while the adjacent unfertilized plot
averaged on the same basis total re-
ceipts of $5O3.62, less than one-third
of the former receipts.
At a meeting of the Peninsula Hor-
ticultural society, Mr. Houston Of Ber-
lin, Md, reported the net earnings
from a 100-acre peach orchard that
came into profitable bearing in 1913.
He applied about 500 pounds Of high
grade fertilizer per acre early in
March, and started cultivating with
the disk harrow between March 10
and 20. He continued the cultivation
regularly until about July 10.
Mr.. Houstons advice regarding
treatment for curculios and brown rot
is that it should be started a week be-
fore 1t is really needed or generally
recommended. He sprays the blossoms
once with a mixture of two pounds OF
lime, two pounds of arsenate OF lead
and fifty gallons of water. Seven days
later, when the blossoms are full or
are beginning to drop, he again
sprays with a mixture of eight pounds
of lime, eight pounds of sulphur and
two pounds of arsenate of lead. This
Is repeated ten days later.
When the peaches are well formed,
the spraying is repeated, but the ar
senate of lead is omitted for fear OF
injuring the fruit. According to Mr.
Houston, this system of spraying kills
the brown rot. The last spray is given
from July to 10. Late varieties, such
as Crawford's Late may be sprayed
later than the earlier varieties.

rowing after rolling was not as good
as rolling alone, probably due to loos.
ening up the plants again after tho
roller had pressed them firmly into
the soil.
Early spring rolling OF winter
grain, pressing the earth as 1t does
firmly about the plant roots, produces
good results. When frost comes out
in the spring it is very apt to leave
the soil filled with small cracks or
checks, especially around the plants.
If these checks are closely examined.
1t will be seen that large number OF
roots are thus exposed, and II the
weather continues dry they are killed
or at least injured. II the soil is not
wet at the time of rolling-and 1t
should never be rolled when wet-roll-
ing aids in no small degree to form
a surface mulch.
The Nebraska experiments, there
fore, point quite clearly to the con-
clusion that under ordinary conditions
Of normal seasons in humid regions
winter wheat is sufficiently benefited
by rolling to make the practice profit
able, while narrowing is not to be rec
commended under such conditions.

MUCH HARM BY BARK BEETLE
Depredations Of This Pest Can Be

Sudden Death
Caused by Disease of the Kidneys

The close connection between the
heart and the kidneys is we'll known
nowadays. When kidneys are diseased,
arterial tension is increased and the
heart functions are attacked. When
the kidneys no longer pour forth waste,
uremic poisoning occurs and the per-
son dies, and the cause is often given
as heart disease, or disease OF brain
or lungs.
It is a good insurance against such
a risk to send 10 cents for a large
trial package Of "Anuric"--the latest
discovery of DR.. Pierce. When you
suffer from backache, frequent or
scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or
there, or that constant tired, WORKOUT
feeling, get "Anuric" at the druggist.
It's 81 times more potent than lithia,
dissolves uric acid as hot water does

WHEN SUN WAS WoRsHIPEn
Baalbec, Now in Ruins, Was the Cen
ter OF Religion That Once Had
Many Adherents.

Baalbec Is the city Of the sun. Here
the sun god was worshlped thousands
Of years ago, here the ruins of his
great temple still stand. monstrous
and majestic, wonder and a mystery
TO another age and another race. Here,
too. the sun today still seems to smile.
with particular warmth and feryor, as
though regarding his faithful capital
now that his place In the hierarchy of
deltles Is gone.
In the ruins Of Baalbec you can
trace the rise and fall Of almost every
creed that the near East, rich In
creeds, hrs known. The very stones
still lie about that were raised by the
ties overthrow Then came the Greeks
and the Romans, with temples to Apol-
10 and Jupiter, Bacchus and Venus.
The warike Arabs left their mark In
circle Of Notifications temples to a
religion Of the sword. Today the Turk
holds dominion, and his modern mos
ques raise their frail domed heads,
like the transient structures of chill
dren, beside the mighty monuments Of
the past.
In plain terms Of the guidebooks,
Baalbec Is little Turkish village of
5000 people situated near some Of the
most remarkable ruins on earth. So
there are two Baalbecs-the city OF
yesterday and the city Of today. Mod
ern Baalbec has its mosques and its
churches and Its schools, sends its re-
cruts to the sultan's armies, and
makes picnics to the temple Of Bac-
chus, where its young men and maldens
hold hands in the twilight. Ancient
Baalbec Is n confused colossus, n heap
Of mighty blocks of cunningly carved
stone, earthquake tossed and time eat
en-, piled haphazard and buried in
sand, with here and there some frieze,
some wall, some shrine or altar still
raising its head through the tide of
destruction to hold aloft the symbol of
the sun or the Roman eagle.
The old stones have taken on n pc
cullarly rich and golden color with the
years. Fragments that archeOlogists
unearth from underground are pale
and colorless, but the sunlight Of cen.
turtles has touched what II could reach
with its own sunset hues. Few sights
are so beautiful as Baalbec on clear
spring evening. The five great col
umns Of the sun rear their slender
height heavenward like the trunks OF
giant palms. The tumbled temple
stones glow golden in the level rays
while below stretches the tender greer
of young grain, the delicate bloom Ot
wide orchards. The rock of the col
umns crumbles with the passing ot
ages, but the bloom of growing llf'
that blights at frosty breath returns
ever fresh and new, spring aftel
spring, eternally.
