FERTILIZERS WILL
INCREASE WHEAT YIELDS

On average Missouri land the fer
tilization of wheat is practically al
ways remunerative. While there are
seasons in which results of an in
crease of two or three bushels only
are secured, in average seasons in
creases of from four to six bushels
can be counted upon. On the thinner
lands much larger returns can be eX-
pected. M. f. Miller of the Univer-
sity of Missouri College of Agricul-
ture cites the results of wheat fertil-
izing experiments conducted in diff
ferent parts of the State: On the
Northeast Missouri level prairie re-
suits of several years experiments
have shown an increase averaging
lis bushels an acre from the use of
lime, phosphorus and potash. On the
North Missouri rolling prairie the
increase during approximately the
same period has been 62 bushels On
the South Missouri experiment fields
the results have been similar, al.
though in some cases materially high
er than these. At the St. James ex-
pertinent field siX-year average has
shown an increase in the wheat crop
of 1871 bushels. 1t is safe to say,
therefore, that one ought to expect
minimum of around four bushels and
a maximum of not less than ten
bushels as very conservative esti-
mates.
The fertilizers that are available
for fall use are steamed bone meal,
acid phosphate and some of the high
ly phosphate mixed fertilizers, such
as the so-called "2 and ~" This lat
ter contains 2 per cent ammonia, II
per cent available phosphoric acid and
no potash. Potash is practically Off
the market at this time on account Of
the war. On most of these fields
phosphates have brought the largest
return, although some return has
usually been secured from the potash.
Lime has brought little return on
wheat. The return from potash
comes particularly from South MIS-
souri, lands. An application Of $50
pounds of steamed bone meal will
cost this year around $3.50, acid phos-
phate $1.75 and the "2 and II" about
1925. Figuring a minimum return
of bushels per acre, which would be
safe, it is easily seen that wheat
could drop materially in price and still
allow the fertilizer to bring good re-
turn.

ANIMALS REQUIRE ATTEN-
TION AT BREEDING TIME

Female breeding animals require
special attention at two seasons of the
year. The first is during the breed
ing period and the other is when the
animals are giving birth to young
f. A Trowbridge of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture sug-
gests that those persons who have
breeding animals in charge can well
afford to give this attention.
1t is poor business policy to keep
a good breeding female and, through
lack of careful observation, fail to
see that she becomes pregnant. Of
tentimes a half an hour or half a day
devoted to the animal at this season
of the year will prevent a wasted
year in the life of the breeding ami
NAL. 1t is equally poor business pol
icy to take pains that females are
bred at the proper time and safely
settled, to carefully carry them
through their period of pregnancy,
and then at the close of that period
lose their young for lack of attention.
A rainy week during the narrowing
season costs thousands of pigs in
Missouri. 1t is certainly true that
some special effort can be made to
save little pigs after money has been
invested in a sow and she has been
carefully fed and cared for throughout
her period of pregnancy.
There are enough unavoidable loss
es at these two periods without per-
hitting any losses which might be
eliminated. At this particular time,
therefore, it is highly essential, if
breeding animals are to be kept, that
they be given opportunity to become
and second, that sufficient
be taken to minimize the
losses at birth.

TO TEACH FOOD CONSERVATION

Columbia, Mo-, June 1.-THE part
of the woman in the conservation
movement in Missouri will be in charge
Of the Teachers College of the Col
umbia University, New York, who has
recently been appointed superintend-
ent Of home economic demonstration
work of the extension division of the
University of Missouri.
The State has been divided into
sections for the food emergency work
and supervisor will head each of
the divisions. Two supervisors will
be assigned to the larger cities, such
as Kansas City, st. Louis and St. Jo-
seph. A large enough number of wo-
men experts in home economies are
now available in the service so that
one woman can be placed in every
two or three counties.
The first work which will be taken
up by the conservation of food special
lists will consist of canning and pre-
serving demonstrations Lectures
will be given in connection with the
demonstrations on other food prob
lens and how they may be solved.
Other phases in the conservation of
food stuffs will be taken up when
the canning work has been finished.
Miss Petit comes to the University
Of Missouri from Erie county, New
York, where she has been in charge
Of home food demonstration work.
The county established this work
three years ago and it was the first
10 ever attempt work along this line.
Miss Petit was in charge for two
years. She also organized the home
economies departments of the Uni
versity of Arkansas and of Sweet
Briar College, Virginia.

Dover was the first county seat of Pope County, and the old courthouse, two story brick building, erected in 1867, was the first brick building in this part of the state When the Little Rock X Fort Smith Railroad, now part of the Iron Noun tain System, was built, Russellyille came into existence, and in 1884 tie county seat was moved to RuSsellville. after bitter contest. in which prejd- diCes and i'll feelings were engendered, which have not yet been entirely out grown. A former county official, in office at the time the removal was vot- ed in a special election. vowed he would never again set foot in Russell vile. He has not kept his VOW to the letter, but he has not broken 1t more than 6 half dozen times in more than 30 years. and then only when the most urgent reasons demanded his presence in the new county seat.
 For many years Dover was the cen ter of a large judicial district, and many important cases were tried ln the old courthouse After the removal of the county seat the building was used by the public school until it's de molition to make room for more modern and better appointed school building. There was no cornerstone to the old building, but in tearing down the walls workmen found an old calendar for 1871 behind some wood work, which will be preserved as d relic of the olden days. The calendar was sent out by a St. Louis book and stationery concern and is in good state of preservation.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root. pr. Kilmer's Prescrip- tiOn, OvercOmeS Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that the kidneys should have more attention as they control the other organs to a re- markable degree and do tremendous amount of work in removing the poisons and waste matter from the system by Altering the blood.
 The kidneys should receive some as sistance when needed. We take less ex- ercise, drink less water and often eat more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than nature intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such as lame back, annoying bladder troubles smarting or burning, brick. dust or sediment, sallow complexion, rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular heart action, warns you that your kid neys require help immediately to avoid more serious trouble.
 An ideal herbal compound that has had most remarkable success as kidney and bladder remedy IS Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root. There IS nothing else like it. It IS Dr Kllmers prescription used in pri' vate practice and 1t IS sure to benefit you. Get bottle from your druggist.
 However if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. kilmer X Co, Binghamton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. Adv.
