100 Years Old

"The kidneys play most important
part in causing premature old age and
death-the more injurious the poisons
passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay"-so says distinguished
physician, who further advises all people
who are past thirty to preserve the vitality
Of the Kidneys and free the blood from
poisonous elements, such as uric acid
drink plenty Of water-sweat some daily
and take Anuric before meals.
This Anuric is put up in tablet
form, and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that baekaehe,
lumbago, rheumatism, rusty" joints,
swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid
in the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves
the uric acid as hot water does sugar.
Discovered by DIR. Pierce Of Buffalo, N. \
Prevent premature old age by simply
slipping cup of hot water every morning
before breakfast, taking little AnuriC
before meals and live to be q hundred.

SEVERE WEATHER AIDS SOIL
Freezes Help PuIverize Broken Ground
and Cause Particles to crumbIe--
Check to Bugs.

There is considerable advantage In
severe freezes during winter. While
cold weather makes expenses some
what heavier unless the farmstead Is
well arranged for comfort, both fol
man and anirGals, the soil is always
benefited by freezes.
Farmers readily recognize that after
hard freezes the soil Is In better con-
dition. Freezes help pulverize broken
ground; they cause the particles to
crumble, vegetable matter to disinte-
crate and break down. There is also
considerable check to the increase of
insects. Many insects In the pupa
stage are killed by very cold weather
and this means less Increase the fol-
lowing spring and summer. However.
there are some that stand very low
temperatures without injury.
The best way to get the full benefits
of winter SHOWS and winter freezes is
to have the land broken.

CORK SHOES BEST FOR HORSE
Animals May Be Prevented From
Slipping on Ice and Slippery Pave
ments In Winter.

Draft horses should be equipped
with good cork shoes in cold weather,
according to David Gray, assistant in
animal husbandry In the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
'sThe shoe should have a heavy heel
and toe" said Mr.. Gray. 'This will
prevent the horse from falling and
will protect 1t from injury.
''The shoes should be examined
frequently to see II the eorks are ade-
quate to help the animal. When 1t
is necessary to shoe the horse with
heavy corks, special attention should
be given to setting the heed cork so
that there will be no likelihood Of In
jury to the animal.
"A horse used for riding or driving
should not be shod heavily. Care
should be taken that the corks do not
protrude, for there Is danger OF injury
when the horse Is trottIng."

PLAN CROP ROTATIONS
Figures Given Suggest Evils Of
Single-Crop System.
Little Time Spent In Carefully schcm
ing Before Beginning Spring Work
VIII Pay Big Returns--crops
to Select.

CBy M. r. MILLER, Missouri College Of
Agriculture.)
The evils Of the single-crop system
are suggested by figures secured by
the Missouri agricultural experiment
station. After seventeen years Of con-
tinuous cropping to corn less than II
bushels an acre were secured as com
pared with about fifty bushels on
ground that had been planted to corn,
wheat and clover in rotation; and
about fifty-four bushels on rotation
of corn, oats, wheat clover and two
years Of timothy.
A little time spent in carefully plan
ming rotations before beginning the
spring work will pay bigger returns
than the same amount of time spent
in the field.
A good crop rotation should include
~ a cultivated crop, such as corn !;
(2) humus and nitrogeh-adding crop
such as clover, cowpeas, or soy beans,
particularly If they are turned under,
and usually (3) small grain or grass
crop.
Some of these crops have roots only
near the surface and others draw their
food from greater depths, so that
crops in rotation do not wear out the
land as rapidly as a single crop plant
ed year after year, but no rotation can
build up the solid fertility, or even
avoid wearing out the soil, unless the
products are fed on the farm and the
manure returned to the fields or
legumes like clover, cowpeas or soy
beans are grown and perhaps turned
under to keep the nitrogen and or
ganic matter in the soil. In some cases
1t may be necessary to apply phos-
pilates, potash or lime.
Non-competing crops should be
chosen instead OF crops that will com
PETE with enc another for the farmers
tsa;v so far as possible, For example,
tbs krst eating Of alfalfa may de-
mand attention at the same time corn
should be plowed, while timothy and
clover, coming on later, win make less
competition. The additional yield of
alfalfa may more than Overbalance
this difficulty, and many such consid-
erations must be balanced against one
another.

CARING FOR POULTRY FLOCK
Mistake to Think It Is Entirely Wom'
ans Work-lnvoIves Exposure
to Stormy Weather.

Most farmers consider the care OF
poultry "woman's work." and some OF
them are actually ashamed to be seen
helping their wives look after the
fowls. What a mistake? 1t is not as
much woman's work as mans, be-
cause 1t often involves exposure dur
ing storms and cold weather and the
man who will refuse to save his wife
from any bit of hard work possible is
pretty poor specimen Of farmer.
If these men would study the science
Of poultry raising and give 1t as much
attention as any other branch of farm
ing they would make more money and
make 1t easier.

WINTER FLOWING IS FAVORED
Army Worms, Cut Worms, Grasshop.
pers and Other Injurious Insects
Exposed to Elements.

There are q number of advantages
In fall and winter blowing. The de-
structlon of insects is not the least Of
them. Army worms, cut worms, Hes
Sian fly, grasshoppers and other very
injurious insects live over the winter
In the ground and by fall blowing or
disking. these insects are exposed 20
the freezing weather and killed, or
they are crushed and disturbed in
their winter sleep so that they perish.
Old stubble fields should always be
plowed during the fall or winter If the
land is so situated as not to wash.

WHY PROFITS ARE LOW

The business side Of agricul-
ture, like any other business, is
held down and incumbered by
the multitude who are unwilling
to apply the results Of modern
science or are Indifferent to it's
value. Just SO long as they are
content to move along in the
same rut, to ignore the findings
Of modern science and the tested
experience of others, to let well
enough alone and drift rather
than push, just so long will the
returns Of the average farm be
absurdly low.-Dean II. L. Rus

Ten Billions In Coal.

The Nenana coal fields, Alaska. will
be tributary to the government rail-
road now under construction from
Seward to Fairbanks. Though the coal
in this field is Ignite, and hence OF
low grade, yet it has great value as a
source of fuel and power for Fairbanks
and other Yukon placer camps. The
field is about sixty miles south of
Fairbanks. 1t is estimated by the
United States geological survey, de-
partment of the interior, that the Ne
mana field contains some ten billion
tons of Ignite. The Nenana coal field
lies in what is known as the Bonni-
field region, which also contains some
gold placers that have been mined in
a small way for the last ten years
This district is described in report
entitled 1.-THE Bonnifield Region, Alas
