VALUE OF POTATOES
 AS FEED FOR SWINE.
When Prices Are Low Surplus Tu- bers May Be Used to Advan-
 tage When Cooked.

(F'rom Weekly News Letter. United
 States Department of Agricuture)
 Because of the surplus of white or Irish potatoes now on the market and the consequent low prices, many farm CTS have been seeking information as to the possibility of feeding them to hogs
 Many experiments have been con- ducted in Germany and other foreign countries as we'll as a few in the Unit ed States to determine the value of potatoes as feed for swine. In Ireland and Germany farmers feed large quan- titles of potatoes annually. From ex- perimental data 1t has been concluded that 4 to AZ bushels of potatoes when cooked are equal to about one bushel of corn for putting gains on hogs. Therefore. if corn is worth 80 cents a bushel potatoes when fed to hogs would be worth only IS to 20 cents bushel There may, however. be instances where 1t would be more advantageous for the farmer to feed to hogs right on his own place at least part of his crop rather than to haul these potatoes to an already overload ed market.
 According to the consensus of opin- ion potatoes are fed to the best ad- vantage when cooked or steamed and mixed with other feeds. Experiments in which raw potatoes were fed alone have been reported, In certain in- stances the raw potatoes are said to have caused SCOUTS. However, raw po- tatoes in, small quantities and in diet lacking succulence may be condu- cive to health in pigs.
 In cooking potatoes only enough water should be used to make a mealy mash and prevent burning. The re. sultant meal should then be mixed with cornmeal or other grain supple ment. Tankage, skim milk or meat meal would probably add to the profit of the mixture. Potatoes when pre- pared in the manner described and un. der the conditions mentioned can often be fed to pigs with advantage.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter his acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where 1t often remains to irritate and inname, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scading sensation and is very profuse again. there is difficulty in avoiding 1t.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call tion. While 1t is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days.

"Nothing to Report"

During our first summer in the
trenches there were days, sometimes
weeks, at time, when, in the Ian
guage of the official bulletins, there
was nothing to report or "calm'
prevailed "along our entire front. y
From the point of view of the war
office, these statements were, doubt
less, true enough. There were no
great battles, there was no wholesale
slaughtering of soldiers. But from
Tommy Atkins's point of view
"calm was putting it somewhat mild

quietest of days, is long battle OF

Track Changes at Depot
Force Two Local Coal Handlers To
Do Considerable Moving.

Important track changes are to be
made Immediately by the Louisville
& Nashville railroad at the Stanford
depot. Crews have arrived and start
ed to work upon the new switches to
the west of the depot which will nee
essitate radical changes in the topo-
graphy of that part of town. The
Tudor coal yards, and the j. H.
Baughman & Co., coal sheds, both of
which have been for years upon the
railroads right of way by arrange
ment and sufferance of the railroad,
will have to be removed. A spur
track is to built south of the main
track, cutting off from up west of the
Baughman mill, and upon this track
the K. C. will repose each night af-
ter its arrival, instead of upon the
side track which it has occupied fol-
many years each evening. Another
side track is to be built north of the
main trackage, it is understood; the
stock pens are to be moved out farth-
er to the west and, in fact, the whole
system of trackage is to be. rearrang-
ed, as far as sidings are concerned.
1t is understood that Baughman
mill will have to move its coal sheds
to the rear of the mill, if sufficient
room can be obtained there. Mr..
Tudor has not yet decided where he
will locate his coal office and sheds.
He hopes to secure sufficient room
in the rear of his poultry yards. just
west of the colored Baptism church,
to accommodate his coal business.

will continue work on the Crab Orch

it has Leen estimated that il can be
completed in ample time before bad
weather sets in.
The crew, which will start on the
Danville pike, will begin at the Lin
coin line and work this way, as fast
as possible. Boyle has her portion
of the road about completed and with
the Lincoln end of the line in similar
shape the roadway from Stanford to
Danville will be hard to improve up
on. When this stretch of road is
completed, complete system of 20
miles of splendid turnpike, approach
ing the proportions of a boulevard
will be finished from Danville clear
thru to Grab Orchard.
The Gus Geizel road crew, which
reconstructed the road out of Crab
Orchard to the Rockcastle county
line, was transferred this week to
Hustonville. After some work in the
town, it will go to work on the pixies
in the West End. Road working is
on at full blast in Lincoln and the
pixies are going to be in splendid
shape, if the present rate is main
