SWAMP ROOT FOR
KIDNEY AILMENTS

There is only one medicine that really
stands out pre-eminent as a medicine for
durable ailments of the kidneys, liver and
bladder.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root stands the
highest for the reason that it has proven
to be just the remedy needed in thousands
upon thousands of distressing cases.
Swamp Root makes friends quickly be-
cause it's mild and immediate effect is soon
realized in most cases. 1t is a gentle,
healing vegetable compound.

RETURNS FROM TESTING

Testing seed corn for germina-
ton is the least expensive meth
cd of increasing the yield Of
corn per acre.
Without seed testing, all other
means of increasing the yield
will fall short of what they
should accomplish.
The testing of seed corn by
any of the approved methods is
not difficult.
The time spent in testing seed
corn is likely to be paid for at
the time of planting and is GER
tain to be paid for MANIFOLD at
harvest.
Corn that appears to be sound
does not always terminate. If
no test Is made, considerable
quantities of sound-appearing
corn are likely to be planted only
to rot In the ground. If tested,
this corn would not be planted
and would serve all the purposes
of good feed.
A field planted to tested seed
corn requires little or no replapt-
ing. All plants have an even
start and develop evenly to a
fuller yield than where stunted
replants are present.

Back to MeadowIands!

l must go forth to the fields again
Where the meadow grass Is rife,
And all l ask is some calmness
And little ease from strife.
And a colts neigh and the winds song,
And the grass blades shaking,
And low note from birds throat,
And pink dawn breaking.
Wherein the versemaker, in other
years and out of the desire Of his
heart. pretty accurately outlined the
program for American farmers In the
good, peaceful year of 1919. The strife
is passed. The calmness is come. And
now the call is for return to grass
meadows and pasture lots and live
stock.
In the years of strife and stress
many farmers plowed up permanent
pastures and meadows and devoted
them to grain crops to meet the worlds
need for bread. Now that farming is
to be restored to a peace-time basis,
the United States department of agri-
culture says 1t seems wise that many
of these lands be reseeded to grass.
The signing of the arnistice found
the United States well supplied with
foods, but comparatively short on
feeds, but with an urgent demand for
meat animals, in the production of
which feeds and pasturage are essen
tial.
The department. of agriculture, of
course. does not urge abandonment of
profitable grain farming, but it points
out, in its survey of the 1919 situation.
that the sacrifice of grass lands and
the Abandonment of rotation systems
in response to the world demand for
more cereals has resulted in a leple-
ton of fertility which must be restored
by the re-establishment of rotations,
pastures, meadows, leguminous crops,
and live stock.

Four Thousand Bushels Rejected From

With Strawboard Cells
Used for Testing.

No, not n munition factory. Those
cylindrical objects lying in orderly
rows on shelves are not shrapnel, but
ears of corn. The slender filaments
that are being sorted so carefully are

The whole shows graphically how
one agent of the United States de-
partment of agriculture and the Mis-
souri, Agricultural college went about
making sure that the 1918 corn crop
would not fail the cause of world free
dom for lack of viable seed. 1t is
representative of what many county
agents. the country over. are doing
now, wherever occasion arises, to make
sure that the 1919 crop will not fail
for q like reason.
What One County Saved.
These pictures show the central test
ing station established in February,
1918, by the county agent of Living
ston county, Missouri. In this, and in
eight local testing stations scattered
about the county. 10951 bushels of
corn were "ear tested" before corn
planting time came last spring. OF this
corn more than 1000 bushels were
thrown out as being unfit for planting
which means that 1000 bushels of
corn were saved for feed. Otherwise,
it would have rotted In the ground,
making an equivalent replanting neces-
sary More than 5000 bushels were
certified as being sure to give salts
factory percentage of termination.
In this instance egg crates, with
their little straw-board cells, were used
for testing--a somewhat novel method
that has found favor in some localities.
The kernels to be tested are planted in
the pasteboard cells, six grains from
TN ear, and cell to each ear. After
sufficient time for termination, the
crates are opened and the ears are
saved for seed or discarded, according
10 the percentage of termination
shown by the corresponding kernels.
Zach ear has number corresponding
10 that of the cell in which the sample
kernels taken from it are put for ger
mination, so 1t is easy to make the
final sorting.
Results Shown in Field.
Over a thousand farmers brought
their seed corn to one or another of
the nine testing stations established
in livingston county last year, and
practically every field planted with
corn thus tested showed a strong
stand.

conditions of that country with the

Gently emphasize this interesting fact.
This ability to readJust themselves
rapidly to any sort of condition or eli
mate or people has been one of the
remarkable things about Americas
soldiers. English, French and Italian
army officers have marveled at It..
American army officers never tire of
talking about it. The doughboys them
selves never give this angle of the job
thought. All countries look alike to
them so long as there is work to be
done. AS one of the boys in Arch
angel explains it:
America started out to do some pinch
hitting for the world. Until the game
is over were going to stick, no matter
how many extra innings are neces-
sary"
AS everyone knows, the American
ana allied soldiers were sent to north
ern Russia several months ago, the
chief purpose of the expedition being
to provide the nucleus of an army
around which those Russian soldiers
and civilians opposed to German domi-
nation could rally; a secondary reason
being the desire to head off the an
archy that was sweeping other parts
OF the country. All reports from Arch
angel Indicate that the allied forces
are in complete control of the situa-
ton These same reports say. the sol
diers are thoroughly enjoying the job,
which naturally leads to the conclu-
sion that they must be fairly comfort
able.

recall what a Russian winter did to
Napoleon's army and say the disaster
that met his valiant forces proved
that no one but natives can stand the
rIgors of the near-arctic climate.
No attempt will be made here to pic
ture Archangel as a summer resort at
this time of the year. All the evidence
at hand indicates that it is cold
enough up there for four or five
months to suit the most enthusiastic
fresh-air advocate. One does not need
an electric fan TO keep cool in Arch

extreme severity of the winters up
that way. there isn't one chance in n

doughty old warrior the laugh.
If the shades Of those soldiers Of
Napoleon's army who persisted on the
historical retreat from Moscow are
still in Russia they must be amazed
at the extensiveness Of the arrange
ments that have been made to safe
guard the allied fighting men now in

September, one vessel, the Ascutney,
which left America, carrying 1900
tons of food. drugs, soap and miscel-
laneous articles; the other, British
transport, loaded In London, having
on board 200 additional tons of sup

this amount of reinforcement the
American Red Cross continued to
transfer supplies from London to
Archangel, allied war vessels keep

the supply ships to enter. The build

has been discontinued. officers in
charge of the expeditionary force hav-
ing expressed the opinion that every
possible emergency has been provided
for.
The cargo carried by the Ascutney
was valued at S1,O25,03S. A glance at
the immense quantity and the wide va
riety of foodstuffs on the list will
make it clear that the American boys
are not going to lack proper nourish-
