FOOD PRODUCTION AND FEHTILI-
ZATION OF THE SOIL .

1t has become clear to all-Amerlcans
that it is a matter of self preservation
to a degree to produce as large a crop
as possible during the next season.
To insure the farmer in his attempts
to do this, the government has guaran-
eeed him a price of two dollars per
bushel for next years crop. Conse-
u~uently the farmer casts about to find
somebody who can tell him how to
increase his crop. Some of the data
obtained by the University of Idaho
Experiment Station should prove of
value in this connection. Plots in the
experiment station and on farms, as
we'll, have been treated with fertilizer
to determine what increase can be OBJ
tanned, and the results justify us in
saying that the question of fertiliza-
ton should have very serious consid-

GERMANS DO NOT REGARD
U. S. FORCES SERIOUSLY

The first official report from the
American expeditionary forces in
France was printed in the German
newspapers Tuesday without COM
ment, although occasionally sarcastic
emphasis was placed in headlines, in
reference to the quiet sector OF she
front. The American official dispatch,
as a rule, is not included by the news
papers in their general column of
enemy war reports, and most of the
journals are endeayoring to adhere to
the fiction that the United States is
not regarded as a full-fledged member
of the group hostile to the central
powers.

RAISE A HOG-AN0THER WAR
WINNER.

The following from The Record
Stockman, published at Denver, ap-
plies to the intermountain territory
with as much emphasis-perhaps a
trifle more, on o of the longer
distance hauled to market-as to the
eastern slope Of the Rocky mountains.
Farmers all over the country have
been overlooking their one best bet.
With feed cost high and porkers bring
ing big money on the market they have
been sending even the old SOW to mar
ket. and 10Y hogs are soaring TO UNI
dreamed Of prices and will go higher
yet before the famine Is over. II Is
time for every farmer to get busy
breeding and fattening hogs. The ma
ton and the world needs them, and the
world is looking to his country for
supplies. While the cost Of producing
hogs is higher than 1t was, the cost
amounts 10 nothing when hogs are
bringing from $35 to $40 for six and
seven months old barrows. Sows will
be high and gifts higher, but what Of
10 when the whole world Is demanding
fats?
II someone should suddenly an
nounce the discovery of gold in a new
section there would Immediately be a
stampede TO that section on the bare
chance OF finding a mine. Here is a
gold mino that any farmer can make
his own If he will simply think a mo-
ment and study the situation. There
is nothing In the farming or live stock
line that promises larger returns for
the ext few years than hog growing.
: There are records already of sows that
have netted returns of over $240 on
their pigs during the last year. A
, farmer with ten sows and a boar car
make money faster than he ever
thought possible before.

were given nitrate of soda and showed
an increase of 20 bushels over plots
which had not received this treatment.
During the present season, those plots
receiving nitrate of soda in 1915 were
planted to potatoes and yielded 26
bushels more than the average of 9TH
er plots. Those plots receiving nj
trates in 1916 gave an increase Of
three bushels of oats due to the treat
ment, and four other plots treated in
1917 gave an increase of five bushels
Of wheat. y"
Under the government plan of dis
tribution of fertilizer authorized by
THE pure food bill, nitrate of soda will
cost about SO to "a per hundred pounds
and the application Of it to the land
should be about fifty cents per acre.
At the rate of 100 pounds per acre,
it should cost the farmer around $3.50
per acre. If an increase equal to our
lowest results can be obtained, the
farmer can realize at least $3.50 gross
profit per acre, leaving a net profit
of SO per acre due to the use of the
fertilizer. The increase of the next
two years will all be net profit Would
it not be a wise plan for the Farmers
Union to take up this matter and get
the government to supply them with
large amounts so they may get it as
cheaply as possible?
Correspondence in this matter will
receive prompt attention and more de-
tail will be given in the next issue OF

TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Back

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their efforts
to filter it from the system. Regular eat
ers of meat must flush the kidneys occa-
sionally. You must relieve them like
you relieve your bowels; removing all the
acids, waste and poison, else you feel a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, dir
illness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then act
fine and bladder disorders disappear.
This famous salts is made from the acid
Of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with Ethia, and has been used for gen
erations to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad

SAGE TEA KEEPS

When Mixed with Sulphur 1t
Brings Back It's Beautiful
Lustre at Once.

Gray hair, however handsome, denotes
advancing age. We all know the advan-
tages of youthful appearance. Your
hair is your charm. 1t makes or mars
the face. When it fades, turns gray and
looks streaked, just few applications
of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances it's
appearance hundred-fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young! Either
prepare the recipe at home or get from
any drug store a 50-cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
which is merely the oldtime recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other ingredi-
cnts. Thousands of folks recommend
this ready-to-use preparation, because it
darkens the hair beautifully, besides, no
one can possibly tell, as it darkens SO
naturally and evenly. You moisten a
sponge or soft brush with it, drawing
this through the hair, taking one small
strand at time. By morning the gray
hair disappears; after another applica-
ton or two, it's natural color is restored
and it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous,
and you appear years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite. 1t is not
intended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
yention of disease.

CUT-OVER LAND OWNERS
TO RECEIVE INSTRUCTIONS
Practical Demonstrations Are to Be

With all kinds of equipment for
clearing cut-over land "land-clear-
ing special" will go out of Spokane
on the Great Northern railway in
April to give practical demonstrations
of the most efficient and economical
methods of getting rid of stumps for
the benefit of the owners of logged
off land in northern Idaho and east

such train, stopping at the principal
points along this line to actually clear
off small tracts of stump land, has
been made possible by cooperation
with the chamber Of commerce, of
the Great Northern railway officials,
the Washington State college and the
University of Idaho.
The land-clearing special will stop
at the following points along the
Great Northern: Eureka, Mont, Apl.
