PROVEN SWAMP-ROOT

The symptoms of kidney and bladder
troubles are often very distressing and

The kidneys seem to suffer most, as al
most every victim complains of lame back

lead to more dangerous kidney troubles.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which, so
many people say, soon heals and strength

liver and bladder medicine, and, being
an herbal compound, has a gentle heal
ing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who use it.

be in need of it. Better get bottle from

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Both the so-called screw-worm and
the blow-fy larvae commonly called
maggots, are pests Of prime importance
to stock raisers. The screw-worm is
often confused with the other species,
especially during the spring and fall
months. Injury to live stock from mag
COTS is more widespread than is that
due to the true screw-worm. In fact,
this maggot injury may be found
among live stock in any state OF the
Union, although it occurs most FREE
quently in the warmer portions of the
country. The true screw-worm inflicts
enormous losses on the stock raisers
of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Ari-
iona, and southern California during
seasons which are favorable for its
development. During the warmer por.
tons Of the year it is never entirely
absent from this region and may also
cause injury to stock tn the othel
Southern states, and as far north al

WAR ROAD BUILDING POLICY
In Communication to Highway OIL
Gals, Secretary Houston Out
lines Government Plan.

Secretary Houston of the depart
ment of agriculture in communica-
ton to the American Association OF
State Highway Officials has set forth
squarely the policy which he thinks
should be followed in highway con-
struction during the war. Secretary
Houston says:
$50 far as it is practicable to do so,
this department will urge the mainten-
ance Of the highways already con-
structed; the construction and COM
pletion of those highways which are
vitality important because of their bear
| ing upon the war situation or for the
movement Of commodities the post
ponement of all highway construction
relatively less essential or not based
upon important military or economic
needs. The department Is preparing
to suggest to the state highway depart
ments the preparation of schedule
of work for the federal aid projects for
1918 in line with this policy"
In carrying out the policy thus an
nounced there has been sent out by
the Office of public roads Of the de-
partment of agriculture schedule forms
on which the states are requested to
set forth their proposed federal aid
work for the 1918 working season.
, These schedules call for q description

GOOD FEED FOR LITTLE PIGS
sealding MIddIings With Some MIX
and Sweetened With Moiasses Is
Most Excellent.

When pigs are about three weeks
old they will want to eat more than
the milk they can get from their
mother. A small, shallow trough
should be placed where the SOW can
not get it. Scald some middlings,
stir and pour in some milk; if the
milk is sweet, all the better. Put into
the feed about a tablespoonful of mo-
lasses. Drive the little pigs carefully
over the trough. They will get the
odor from the molasses, put their noses
to the feed, lap it. and begin to eat.
