New German Aircraft.

Details regarding a Teuton hydro
aeroplane which fen into the hands
of the Russians in the Riga region
are of unusual interest in that they
disclose the thoroughness with which
German air craft are finished and
equipped. To quote from the report
OF the Morning Post correspondent at
Petrograd: ''AH the necessary mani
pulating parts Of the machinery are
made luminous at night with radium
composition. There is a special newly
invented lever to facilitate handling
the plane in darkness, and special
compass, and seats are provided for
three. The hydroaeroplane carries a
searchlight, maxim. and rife, with
an adequate supply Of ammunition,
and the bombs, five on each side, Of
ten pounds weight apiece"

CROP ROTATION IS FAVORED
CHIEF Aim Should Be to Leave Field
In Better State Of Cultivation
and Free From Pests.

The most profitable crop rotation
does not consist merely in changing
the crops around from year to year.
regardless Of the relation of the crops
to each other. The central aim In all
crop rotation systems should be to
leave each field in a better state OF
cultivation, better physical condition
and reasonably free from pest at the
end of each rotation cycle.
No hard and fast rotation system
can be laid down for any community,
but the most profitable system must
be, worked out for each farm and, in
deed, for each field.
There are certain general principles,
however, that should be borne IN mind
In this connection in order to accom-
plish the most satisfactory results.
For soil Improvement there should be
at least one leguminous crop in each
rotation cycle. To this class of plants
belong the clovers, alfalfa, peas, beans,
etc.
There should be also<a Sufficient
quantity of i've stock, especially
mich cows. on each farm to utilize
the roughage and to supply the de.
sired quantity of stable manure,
which, in addition to green crops
plowed under, viii furnish the neces-
sary amount of hunus to the soil.

Sudden Death
Caused bY Disease 81 the KidneYs

Caused By Disease Of the Kidneys
The close connection between the
neart and the kidneys is well 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 IL often given
as heart disease. or disease Of brain
or lungs.
It is q good insurance against such
a risk to send 10 cents for a large
trial package Of "Anuric" latest
discovery OF DR.. Pierce. When you
suffer from backache, frequent or
scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or
there, or that constant tired, worn-out
feeling, get "Anuric" at the druggist.
