Old Looks :?
(BY DIR. L. H. SMITH)

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance Of gray hair or bald
head in early years is, indeed, often a
sign of uric acid. The face appears
lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles
appearing in young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is of the
simplest: Drink copiously of pure water
between meals. This will not make
you fat, as it is only the water taken
with the meals that fattens. Obtain at
any drug store package Of Anuric,
double strength, which is to be taken
before meals, in order to expel the uric
acid from the system. The painful eff
fects of backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, gout, due to uric acid in the blood
should quickly disappear after treat
ment with Anuric.

Rats and Fires.

At time when everyone Is COM
planning of the high cost of living it
might be well to see if we cannot elm
mate two great sources Of waste-fires
and rats.
Most fires are needless. All rats
are SO. Some years ago study of the
rat problem in Philadelphia arrived at
the conclusion that the rodents of that
city ate more than q million dollars
worth of food each year. At that rate,
the disgusting creatures can hardly
cost less than $10OOOO,000 per year
to the whole country. This is pref
ty high price to pay for the compan-
ionship of impish pests which, besides
their other bad habits, undermine
pors and carry the most dreaded of
lll diseases, bubonic plague.
Yet fires are more expensive than
rats. In 1915-the last year for which
figures are ut hand-the American
people paid out in premiums for fire
insurance $419,361, ,346. OF this vast
sum at least three-fourths could be
saved by reducing our fire record to
the rate prevailing in England, France
or Germany; and even in our time and
nation S300,O0O,000 per year is saw
Ing worth noting, and one which
would have a perceptible effect on the
cost of living.

LETTUCE RAISED IN SPRING
For Best Results Plants Should Be
Started in Hotbeds-For Fall
Crop Drill in Seed.

The reason for failure to get lettuce
to head properly is probably too high
temperature. In outside garden
work head lettuce may be grown only
in the early spring and late fall. 1t
will not head during the heated sum-
mer period.
For best results in the spring, plants
should be started in greenhouses or
hotbeds and after being well hard
ened off, set in the open at not less
than 12-inch intervals as early as the
ground may be got into proper con-
dition. For the fall crop the seed
should be drilled in the rows where
the crop is to mature, covering the
seed but lightly, and thinning out the
plants to the required distance after
termination is complete. In this case
the seed should not be sown until af-
ter the first of August.

CORN FOR FODDER AND sILo
Plant an Early Variety for Green Feed
for Cows During Summer-Culti-
walton Kills Weeds.

For feeding green to cows during
the summer plant an early variety Of
corn. Select rim-cut, sod-ground, or
ground from which a crop of crimson
clover or green rye has been cut off.
Plow the ground, harrow and roll be-
fore the fresh plowed ground can dry
out. Mark out the long way of field
and drill half bushel of corn and 400
pounds of standard bone fertilizer
to the acre. This is much the quick
est and most economical way. It
saves time and labor. II
The corn is put in at the right depth
and without waste of seed. Four hun
dred pounds of good superphosphate
to the acre, applied to good sod land,
will bring good crop of forage. If
the land is thin, spread a coat of ma
nure and harrow it in, then drill the
corn in with the phosphate. Run the
drills three feet apart. If the field is
weedy, plant in hills, so the crop can
be cultivated both ways. AS soon as
the corn can be plainly seen, start the
sulky cultivator, using the steel chisel
teeth.
Early cultivation kills weeds, and
stars vigorous growth Of corn. Plant
the variety Of corn that is best suited
to your soil and climate. Homegrown
seed is best and much the cheapest.
The number Of acres to plant will de-
pend upon the capacity Of the silo, and
the number of stock to feed. One acre
of good land, given thorough culture,
will yield ten to twelve tons of forage.

Leeks.

ate years it's value is becoming more
generally appreciated, and now most
gardens contain at least few plants.
The seed should be sown in a seed
bed in late April or early May and the
seedlings transplanted to the garden
in June or July, when they should be
five or six inches tall. At this time
the tops should be cut back half and
the plants set deep twelve to fifteen
inches apart and six to nine inches
asunder. The reason for setting the
plants so deep is that the neck and
lower part of the leaves are to be used
in blanched condition. The soil may
be drawn toward the plants in cultivat-
ing to further the blanching. One
ounce of seed is used to 100 feet of
drill.
Being very hardy, the plants may be
dug in late fall and stored in the same
manner as cele3y, in trenches or in
cool root cellar.
AS the mild flavor and excellent sea-
soning qualities of this vegetable are
beginning to be more generally known,
the demand is increasing. and it may
now be found on all the vegetable
stands.

SUPERIOR MIXTURE FOR HAY
Oats and Canadian Field Peas Make
One of Best crops-Use Grain
Drill for Seeding.

A mixture of oats and Canadian field
peas makes one of the best hay crops
which can be seeded and harvested in
the same season. The mixture will
produce larger yields than either crop
seeded alone. Peas, being a legume,
make the hay richer for feeding pur-
poses than oats alone and improve the
soil. Also, the oats support the pea
vines so that harvesting is much
easier. The mixture should be sown
two to three inches deep at rate of
two bushels oats and one bushel peas
per acre. Use of the grain drill is the
best way to seed the crop, but if a
drill is not available the seed may be
broadcasted and covered with a disk
or harrow. Sow at oat seeding time
or as early in spring as land can be
prepared. Cut the hay when the oats
are in the milk-ripe or early dough
stage and the pea pods well formed,
but not ripe. A palatable and nutri-
tious hay, yielding one and one-half to
three tons per acre will result.

FOR DETECTING WEED SEED
Hand Lens Is Useful in Searching Out
Dodder and Other Noxious Seed
in Alfalfa.

The hand lens will be found very
useful in detecting dodder and other
weed seeds in alfalfa seed. The gen.
eral quality of unadulterated seed can
be estimated on the basis of color.
Fresh seed is light olive green and
gives bright glossy surface when
rubbed with the hand. Alfalfa seed
which is of any shade of brown is
questionable. One should not pur-
chase seed when the sample contains
any considerable percentage that is
dIscolored.

The leek belongs to the onion family,

The blanched stems and bulb are used

PREPARE FOR ALFALFA CROP
Four to Six Weeks Should Intervene
Between Flowing and Seeding in
Eastern Sections.

Where land in the East is plowed in
the spring for alfalfa, at least four
to six weeks should intervene between
the time of plowing and seeding, dur
ing which time the land should be har-
rowed every 10 or II days to keep
down the weeds and to conserve the
moisture. Where the soil is inclined
to be too loose or when there are
any clods, the roller pulverizer is an
excellent tool to use.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of q neglected
scalp; of dandruff- awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its luster, it's strength and it's very

if not remedied causes the hair roots

save your hair.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's

the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is so beautiful. 1t will become
