average amount of rent paid by the
campaign has been so successful and
the people so pleased with the results
that community cooperation to exter-
inmate rats is to be continued another
year, according to the report.
American farmers who have long
suffered losses from these food raid
ers, should follow the example set by
this district and organize community
campaigns to get rid of rats. In many
sections of this country where similar
campaigns have been conducted re-
suits always have been gratifying.
Methods of destroying rats are de-
scribed in Farmers Bulletin No.896,
copies of which can be obtained on ap-
plication to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. In addition to
telling how community campaigns car
be conducted, this publication tells
how to get rid of rats by making
buildings rat proof, by using traps
poison, fumigating burrows, and en-.
couraging natural enemies.

You can fight off the billions Of

How about the uric acid which your

Can you conquer that, too?
Yes, If your kidneys work right.
But If they don't, backache, dizzi-
ness or, discolored urine
Soon warn you of grave peril.
You must live more simply
That is what Mrs. Lockett has found
Use Doan's Kidney Pills to strength

IMPROVING THE
QUALITY OF HIDES

The efforts on the part of the gov
eminent authorities to improve the
quality of hides AIKEN off by smallcoun-
try butchers, ranchmen, farmers, etc.
are expected to bear fruit before the
close Of the year, but it is too early as
yet for any definite results to be
shown. When the new government
regulations became effective on Aug
ust LIST, requiring all hides and skins
to be bought on selected basis, a
precedent of many years standing was
upset in many sections of the country.
and particularly in New England, York
York and the south where hides had
always been sold fiat for cuts, scores
and other defects.
The selection of hides in these dis
tricts is reported to have been meet
ing with considerable opposition, but
Their ulngs are gradually being more
universally observed and it Is expect
ed that they will become absolutely
stringent as soon as the proposed plan
OF the War Industries Board Is put in
TO effect for a system Of permits to be
issued by that board, covering all
butchers, packers, hide dealers and
tanners to buy and sell hides and
skins. The proposed plan, it is under
stood, is to issue license numbers to
everybody in the business.

burdens imposed upon our people by
the war they have maintained their
schools and other agencies Of educa-
ton so nearly at their normal efficien-
cy. That this should be continued
throughout the war and that, in so far
as the draft law will permit, there
should be no falling of in attendance
in elementary schools, high schools or
colleges is matter of the very great
est importance, affecting both our
strength in war and our national vel
fare and efficiency when the war is
over. So long as the war continues,
there win be constant need Of very
large numbers of men and women OF
the highest and most thorouga train

ter the war there viii be urgent need
not only for trained leadership in all
lines of industrial, commercial, social
and civic life, but for very high av-
erage of intelligence and preparation
on the part of the people. would
therefore urge that the people contln-
ue to give generous support to their
schools of all grades and that the
schools adjust themselves as wisely as
possible to the new conditions to the
end that no boy or girl shall have less
opportunity for education because of
the war and that the nation may be
strengthened as it can only be through
the right education of all its people.

COW TESTING ASSOCIATIONS
ACTIVE

A cooperative COW testing associa-
ton is an organization of about TWEEN
ty six dairy farmers, for the purpose
of improving the production of the
herds Of the members, through the
wedding out of its poorest cows and
the feeding of better balanced and
more economical rations.
The tester visits each members herd
once each month, spending about
twenty-four hours; at each place
where the herds are larger than 80
cows additional time is allowed at the
rate of 30 cows day. He arrives at
the members farm in the afternoon
in time for milking weighs the food
given each cow, weighs the milk Of
each COW, and takes samples for test.
ing. In the morning the same things
are done. The samples Of milk are
then tested by the Babcock method
after which the complete records Of
production of milk and butter fat are
worked out for the month, together
with the value of same and the
amount and cost Of feed The record:
are all posted up in a book provided
for the purpose. The records are dis
cussed with the man in charge of the
herd and suggestions given for better
feeding. The tester then goes to the
next herd. The herds are all visited
in this way on the same day of each
month.
It pays to know your cows.
