nave probably zen marked BY the
heaviest city-ward migration the
country has ever known. This is 60
ing to keep up until city wages and
farm wages approach q parity-un-
til the farmer, for q certain amount

Don't worry and complain about a

lameness! Use Doan's Kidney Pills.
Many Grenada people have used them
and know how effective they are.

miserable, owing to my kidneys be-

with my work. My kidneys were al
so painful, l had pains in the top
and back of my head and would be

Removing Warts From Mules l


A reader has a mule with warts
on the inside of hind leg. They bleed
and are as large as your fist"
Unless these warts have a neck
or CONSTRUCTED portion next to the leg
SO that q cord can be tied sufficiently
tight around them to shut off circu-
lation of the blood and cause them
to drop off, our enquirer had better
consult a competent veterinarian. It
is quite possible that the warts can
be removed by an operation, but no
one should attempt this unless he
knows the anatomy of the parts. If
they can be corded this will prove
the most satisfactory way Of remov-
ing them unless a veterinarian is en-
ployed. The cord should be tied very
around the base of the wart
close to the healthy parts and if it
is not drawn tight enough at first a
cord may be tied around in
the same location a week after the
first one is applied. After the wart
drops the raw surface may be busted
thoroughly slaked lime once a
day. If proud flesh develops, or if
the wart appears to be starting to
grow again, ~pulverized bl%uestone may
be applied to the bullying parts and
repeated often enough to keep the
raw surfance on a level with the sur
rounding skin.
If at all practicable we advise this
consult a veterinarian regard

The figures given show not only
a steady increase in urban popula-
ton. but it would appear also that
the urban population always tends to
become greatest in those countries
with the most complex and highly de-
veloped industrial system. Thus
England, a great commercial and fl
nancial nation, has a far greater
percentage of her total population
living in the towns than has Russia.
In the United States, urban popula-
ton is steadily gaining at the ex-
pense of the rural districts. Thus
in 1890, our rural population consti-
tuted $50 per cent of the total, but
in 1900 this had fallen to 59.5 per
cent, and in 1910 it was only 53.7
per cent. 1t is not at all unlikely
that the 1920 census will show more
people living in our towns (places
of $500 or more in~habitants) than in
the country.
People have gone TO the towns be-
cause in the towns they have re-
ceived better wages and enjoyed bet
ter living conditions, and SO long as
our industrial centers offer these adj
vantages, we may expect the move
ment toward them to continue. Men,
finally, always go where the rewards
are greatest, and the only way to
keep them in the country is to offer
sufficitn rewards for their labor.
So far, we see no evidence that the
tide toward the cities is slowing
down. On the other hand, the re-
cent years of very high prices for

Value of a Good Name in the Bust,
ness of Farming.

Value of a Good Name in the Bust
ness of Farming.
Mr.. French speaks a great truth
when he says that the Golden Rule
works in business transactions. The
farmer who has a reputation for meet
ing every obligation promptly and
whose word is as good as his bond
possesses an asset that is worth more
than gold.
One of the first lessons that ev-
cry young farmer should learn is that
square dealing in all business trans
actions is the only way to succeed.
True, the crooked man sometimes
attains a of success, but this
success is only the exception that
proves the rule. If livestock, seeds or
plants are sold, it is the soundest
kind of business to see that in every
way they are fully as good as they
are described to be. If a. note is
falling due shortly, it is sound bust
ness to pay this note if possible in
advance of maturity. And every
obligation, written, oral or implied,
should be met with absolute prompt
ness and without quibbling.
The man who has a reputation for
square dealing is far along the road
to success Make your word as good
as your bond.-The Progressive Far
