RemarkabIe Bread nskIno.

What, we wonder, was the ultimate
result of an experiment made in
Marylebone, England, in April, 1854?
Two Frenchmen affirmed their ability
to produce $50 four-pound loaves from
sack of -four, which at that time pro-
duced only 80 to 100 loaves. The
Marylebone guardians lent their bak-
cry for trial The bread was to
bear chemical tests, and to contain
nothing prejudicial to health, but the
process by which it was made was to
remain the secret of the two French
men, who offered demonstration of
their skill. The experiment was de-
clared at the time to be perfectly sue
cessful. Two sacks of flour, under
seal, were issued by the workhouse au-
thorities. One was worked up by Eng
fish bakers, and produced 80 loaves,
weighing 300 pounds; the other was
worked up by the French bakers, and
yielded ia loaves, weighing $40
pounds. Several scientific men were
present, to "see fair" but not, as may
be guessed, to penetrate the mystery
Of the French bakers.

mistaken Testimony

Time is the test of truth. And
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the test
in Mount-Holly. No Mount Holly resi-
dent who suffers backache, or annoying
urinary ills can remain unconvinced by
the twice told testimony.
Mrs. Georgianna Kinsler, 70 Pine street
Mount Holly, says: Ever since l was
"a little girl, 1 was subject to kidney
trouble which grew worse every year
never knew what it was to be without
backache and was down in bed fol
weeks at time. perfectly helpless. l
couldn't move without having knife
like pains catch me in the small of my
back. 1 suffered great deal from con-
gestion and inflammation of the bladder
and kidneys. Headaches and dizzy
spells were almost constant and objects
seemed to pass before me. l couldn't
sleep well and my nerves were wreck.
I became so discouraged that wanted
to die. Doan's Kidney Pills, however,
improved my condition one hundred
percent and rid me of all the trouble. .
Statement given November II, IoI4.)
On October 3, 1916 Mrs. Kinsler add
ed: "Since Doan's Kidney Pills cured
me of kidney complaint, have had
very little trouble from my kidneys,
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for kidney remedy-g get Doan's

THE MONEY THEY CARRY.

Poor Men, az a Rule, Have More In
Their Pockets Than Rich Men.
The next time you meet John d.
Rockefeller just ask him how much
money he has in his pocket. Ask him
how much he has in the safe at his
house or in the safe deposit box at his
bank-I mean real, old fashioned bank
notes and dollar bills. Let me tell you
that If at this very moment you and
John D. Rockefeller should swap peck
etbooks you would likely get stung
Mr.. Rockefeller probably has not a
cent more Of real money in his pocket
today than you have. In general
way this applies to all peoples all
over the world. In many communities
the workpeople carry more money
about with them than the rich.
l well remember that once, at my
summer home ON the coast of Massa-
chusetts, where real money is scarcer
than fresh eggs, very rich man who
was visiting us asked me to cash a
check for him as he was leaving for
New York On looking into his peck
etbook he discovered he had only
$7.13l Well, was even worse on,
having only Eve dollar bill and a
few pennies. Even Mrs. Babson could
dig up only few dollars, as we have
everything charged and pay by check.
We were just on the point Of break

er working about the house overheard
the conversation and suggested that
perhaps he could cash check for $50

oIdest Weather Reperts.

The oldest weather diary known to
be in existence was kept by Lincoln
shire (Eng) parson, William Merle
close on 600 years ago. From 1887 to
1914 he wrote it up, often day by day,
in Latin, and his manuscript, being on
vellum. was somehow preserved and is
now In the Bodleian. Merle did not
trouble himself with the popular lore
about "skyey influences" but stuck tc
an accurate record of fact, In the spirit
at least of the modern meteorologists
And from his jottings 1t seems that he
had pretty much the same kind OF
weather to deal with as folks in his
parish Of Frilby experience now. Con
trary to theory, the changes of six cen
turtles have not reduced the number OF
wet days In the year.

Fall PIowInu.

Reports coming In indicate that the
amount Of fall blowing done this year
10 only about one-flfth OF what 1t was
last year at this time, says the Kansas
Farmer. 1t has been estimated that
the total crops for this year will not
be as great as they were last. We can
take this to mean that prices Of farm
products will maintain a high level un-
til the next crop is marketed. We can
also deduce from these statements
that good prices can be expected for
the next crop because of the small sur
plus.
Putting of blowing that can be done
this fall until the spring may mean q
reduction In the crop production Of
next year. No one can prophecy what
kind Of weather we viii have. It may
be wet or 1t may be a dry spring. II
the season happens to be wet, as Il
was last last year, the chances are
very much against getting all Of the
blowing properly done in the spring.
There certainly Will not be proper time
to compact the ground into the proper
seed bed for spring crops.

Perhaps one of the greatest sources
Of loss of fertility from pasture soils

portions of the field and not along the
banks of running streams, as so often
is the case. With good grass the ami
mails do not Craze more than one-thfrd
Of the time. The rest Of the time Is
spent lying down or standing In the
shade fighting flies. Hence much of
the manure that is made does not get
back directly on the land that produced
the grass. If the manure produced
while the animals are not grazing IL
deposited on the tops Of the hills its
beneficial effects on the grass may be
noted for several rods from the hill
sides. 1t Is easy to believe that II one
half to two-thirds Of the manure Is
lost from pasture fields and none Ia

teriorate.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOWSHIELD

Potatoes as money crop have come
up to the highest expectations in the
last few years. This product should
have place on every farm. and a mo-
ments consideration will show why.
When prices are low potatoes are
useful on the farm as feed for hogs,
young cattle and poultry. When they
are above 30 cents a bushel an aver
age crop gives a net return of $75 to
800 an acre. There are many records
in these days Of high prices where the
acreage profit Is 5000 to $500. AS a
whole, they will steadily add to a
farmers prosperity.
Potatoes work well in the usual ro-
tation schemes. They require study
and care. but are a reasonably sure
