ABANDONING CATS IS
 AGAINST THE LAW
Are Nuisance to Neighbors and .
 Menace to Health.

During the summer months hun dreds of complaints concerning do- mestic animals are received weekly
 at the headquarters of the Connecti- of animal life throughout the state is covered by the activities of the so-
 ciety, through it's 300 or more agents, and the variety of these many score of cases is surprising.
 Hundreds of cats suffer from aban-
 donment during this season of the year. Although as a domestic animal it needs to be cared for. many families their vacation and leave the feline at home to wander from house to house in tramp fashion for her three squares" The suffering that follows for their vacation or move from the city board their cats or have the anil 1nals called for and humaaely destroy ed by the society.
 Officials of the society warn the public never to abandon their cats or leave them uncared for during va cation. The law forbids such cruelty. Homeless cats suffer from hunger and thirst and are nuisance to neigh bOrS, a menace to health and to the bird life of the community.
 During the recent intense humidity horses and dogs have suffered greatly as numerous complaints would indi- cate. The society has issued a small leahet entitled Hot Weather SuSges- tions for Horses, which can be secured at the office upon application.
 In larger cities throughout the state agents examine hundreds of horses at the open markets where the farmers for miles around come in to dispose of their produce. Advice, suggestions and the occa sional "weeding out of a vaIueless horse follow these examina- tions. The sale of unfit horses at pub lie horse auctions held about the state is prevented by agents of the society, and often a number of these animals are destroyed.
 And then there's the dog. If the dog feels like getting a drink of wa ter during the heat some high strung neighbor thinks it has gone mad. The placing of a small receptable filled with water near homes is suggested by the society as Q hospitable deed
 Poultry are saved many trying ex- periences by the society's investiga- tions, especially when packed too tightly into crates. Oxen are often overworled and left in the fields with their yokes on. The pasturage for cat tie is often looked up. Places where grazing is poor and where there is lack of water are investigated.

A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away,
Welsh women know how the aches
and pains that often come when the
kidneys fail make life a burden. Back
ache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles,
are frequent indications of weak kid
neys and should be checked in time.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only. They attack kidney dis
eases by striking at the cause.
Can Welsh sufferers desire strong
er proof of merit than this Jennings

down and out with my back. After

TEST YOUR SEED

Light, shriveled grain seed is apt to
be weak in termination, and lot Of it
won't grow at all. On the other hand,
occasionally a lot Of heavy, plump,
clean seed will be the victim Of ad-
verse weather conditions and only half
or less will grow. No living man can
tell for certain whether any seed will
grow or not, unless it has had an ac-
utal termination test.
All seed grain should be tested this
year. This is imperative. Last year
was unfavorable, and developed much
shrunken grain. You are half beaten
before you start if your seed isn't
strong. Sowing double the amount OF
weak seed is not satisfactory even il
one could stand the expense. Strong
heavy stands come from strong seed
A fair stand Of grain with inferior
seed is possible, if every condition was
favorable but if the weather calls the
turn thousands of acres have to he
replanted every year where husky
seed would probably have won out.
A very excellent but very simple
scheme for testing seed grain follows
Take sample or two from eacF
sack of seed, mark 100 little squares
in the center portion on an ordinary
white blotter, wet it, put 100 seeds
just as they come, large, small ant
otherwise, in the squares, fold over The
