cess of feeding and that which leafs
out around the front end Of the ma
chine. AS to raking the scatterings
along the shock rows, in Wisconsin
one field of % acres gave yield #
1875 bushels. In Oklahoma 80 acres
gave 10 bushels in one case and in
another 90 acres gave So bushels.
Oklahoma reported a saving of 5,0f3
bushels for the raking of scatterinss
on LA farms. Kansas reported a
saving of l y bushels an acre, and
Illinois one-half bushel an acre.
Tight Bottom Wagons Prevent Waste.
Use of tight bottom bundle wagons
in North Dakota saved between
500 and 500 bushels in thrashing q
600 acres. In Wisconsin it is esti-
saved grain but saves time on the
cleanup and should certainly be con-

A very definite notion of the a.

TAKE SALTS To
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
Bladder troubles you-Salts is
fine for Kidneys.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their efforts
to filter it from the system. Regular eat
ers of meat must flush the kidneys occa-
sionally. You must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
acids, waste and poison, else you feel
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, diz-
ziness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take table
spoonful in glass of water before break
fast for few days and your kidneys will
then act fine and bladder disorders dis
appear. This famous salts is made from
he acid Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
b.led with lithia, and has been used for
":,nerat;ons to clean and stimulate slug
gish kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts y inc%pensive; harmless and
makes delightful clfervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases.

FOR TORPID LIVER
Tennessee Lumberman Talks Of His

it for headaches, and especially II
get cold and feel feverish, l take a
good dose of Black-Draught, and 1t
sets me right.
"Since l have been married, I have
used 1t in my family, and never have
found its equal for torpid liver or dis
arranged stomach, especially with
children. ! can recommend Black
Draught, and gladly do So"
Every member Of the family occa-
sionalfy needs the assistance that
Black-Draught can give, in helping to
cleanse the system and relieve or pre-
vent the troubles that come from a
lazy, torpid liver.
If your liver is not doing its duty,
you may suffer with headache, consti-
patton, biliousness, indigestion, etc.
Unless relief is obtained, serious sick
ness may result. In its long and sue
cessful use, Thedfords Black-Draught
has been found in thousands Of cases
to relieve such disorders, by stimulat-
ing the liver to do its important work.

TRACTOR AND
TRUCK OPERATION
IS THE CHEAPER
Official Figures Show that Tractors
and Trucks Can BE Operated on
Farm Cheaper than Horses.

investigation was made to determine
the relative cost and efficiency of |
farming with tractors and truck as |
compared with horses. From the re-
suits of this Investigation 1t will only |
be a question of time until power
farming will practically do away with
the horse, If the cost of producing the |
crops means anything to the farmer.
The horse is the most inefficient
power until we have today. He con-
sumes nfeed in the course of year
the equivalent of the yield of five acres
or Il of what he is able to produce.
Government figures compiled before
the war show that it costs $3.50 year
to keep horse and according to pres
ent prices of feed stuff this figure
should be double now. This report
also shows that forty per cent. of the
farmers total work expenses are rep
resented by the keep and maintenance
of his horses.
On an averag the farm horse works
only 100 days out of the 1865, yet he
consumes just the same regardless of
whether he is working or idle. While
the truck or tractor "eats" only when
it works and involves no expense when
idle other than the interest on money
pared to the value of the feed con-
sumed by the number of horses which
1t is able to surplant
1t has been generally accepted that
a few horses will always be needed for
certain classes of farm work This has
been 'disproven by the fact that there
are several hundred farms in this
country today which are completely
motorized These motorized farms
have not single head of stock upon
them with the exception of one or two
COWS to FURNISH milk and butter.
The comparative figures furnished by
one of these farmers who has replaced
zen teams with two tractors and one
truck shows a saving of S2,67S year
by motorizing.
The cost of operating and maintain
ing the horse drawn apparatus for one
year is set down as follows:
Feed for 20 horses ........ SO $4,000
