CARRIER PIGEONS.

Messages They Carry Are Packed In
Small Goose Quilts.
The general notion that all that has
to be done In forwarding dispatch by
pigeons is to catch the bird, tie let
ter to it's leg and then liberate it Is
wrong, as the method Of attaching the
message is of great importance.
Prior to the siege of Paris the meth.
cd of affixing the message to the bird
had not received that attention which
1t demanded, and consequently many
dispatches were lost in transit.
At first the message was merely
rolled up tightly, waxed over to pro-
tect 1t from the weather and then at.
tached to a feather In the birds tail
But 1t was soon found that the Irvine
which kept the missive in place cut or
damaged the paper, and therefore In
order to prevent 1t from being pecked
by the pigeon and from being injured
by wet the dispatch was inserted In a
small gooseouill two inches in length.
The quill was then pierced close to
each end with a redhot bodkin, SO as
not to split II, and In the holes waxed
silk threads were inserted to affix 1t to
the strongest tail feather. By attach

The Enemy of Uric Acid Is
Anuric
(By l.. II. Smith, NJ. d.

In spite of the best care one takes Of
oneself, any part of the human machine
| is liable to become out of order. The
most important organs are the stomach
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers, and
they work day and night in separating
the poisons from the blood. Their sig
mails of distress are easily recognized and
include such symptoms as backache, de-
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges, drop
sy, govt.
The very best wey to restore the kid
neys to their normal state is to drink
plenty of pure water and obtain a small
amount of Anuric, which is dispensed by
most every druggist. Anuric double
strength is inexpensive and should be
taken before meals. II is much more po-
tent than lithia and many find that Anu
ric dissolves uric acid as water does
sugar.
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, just as do
the bowels, need to be flushed OCCASION
ally. The kidneys are an eliminative
organ and are constantly working, sepa-
rating the poisons from the blood. Under
this continual and perpetual action they
are apt TO longest, and then trouble
starts. Uric acid backs up into the sys
TEN, causing rheumatism, neuralgia,
dropsy, and many other serious disturb
ances. 1t means that you are victim
to uric acid poisoning. Then ask your
druggist for Anuric, which was first dis
covered by DR.. Pierce of the Surgical
Institute in Buffalo, ald which is dis
pensed by nearly every druggist in the
land--Adv.

New Liaht on an Old Subject.

Some of the engravings found by For

cred ruins of New Mexico and Arizona
are said to lend strong support to
the claim OF Chinese Chronicler Hui
Sen, who lived In the sixth century,
that North America was known to the
Chinese under the name of Fusang or
Fusu 1t was said to be continent
lying $500 miles to the east Of Asia.
He said that five Buddhist priests sail
ed from China to Fusu, landing In
what is now Mexico, where they taught
their religion to the natives and built
temples.

Hunting the Emu.

The natives of Australia are ingen-
ious. A black on discovering emus
feeding on a plain will cover his back
and head with an emu skin, allowing
1t to hang down well on the side to-
ward the unsuspecting birds. In his
right hand he will carry hidden by the
skin a boomerang and one or two
throwing sticks or "waddies." Then
his left arm will protrude beyond the
skin straight out to the elbow, and the
forearm will be bent up. with the hand

at right angles to It, thereby making q
capital imitation Of an emus head and
neck. Now and then his hand or head
will be brought to the ground as II for
feeding. and as the black walks along
he initiates every motion Of the bird
while at the same time by means of
the big toe he draws a spear along the
ground. He proceeds thus until close
enough to spear his bird.

The supply OF this article is very lin

shortly. AT present a supply is avail
able at very reasonable price. Call
this office by phone (627-Wl at once to
find out about source of supply and price.
Estimate your needs by calculating five
pounds per acre for each application, and
you should need at least four applica-
tions. This is calculated for the use of
the Bordeaux mixture to be used for the
prevention of blight. The formula is
five pounds of the blue vitriol and five
pounds of quick lime to so gallons of
water (5-5-50). The so gallons of the
mixture should be sufficient to spray one
acre, one application. Attend to this
at once. Potatoes must be sprayed to
get good yields and this year in particu-
lar we should insure the crop as much as
possible.
Annual Meeting.
Elsewhere in this issue you will see
the notice of the annual meeting of the
Washington County Farm Bureau asso-
citation to be held in the city hall build

Corn Variety Plots.
Several of the corn variety test plots
have been put in. Paintings have been
made at Dodge brothers in Berlin, A. L.
Haskell's in South Woodbury., C. H. Col
Inns in Marshfield and W. G. Joslyn's in
Waitsfeld. As many as possible viii be
put in this week. Each plot takes about
one and three-fourths acres and includes
the same II varieties of silage corn. In |
planting soy beans with the silage corn,
mix two parts corn and one part beans,
then set the planter to drop six TO nine
kernels of corn every three feet. The
beans will fill in properly.
