II You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out

reason Is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill

applies more particularly to q medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy il
recommended by those who. have been
benefited, to those who are in need OF it.
A prominent druggist says take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, .
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for IN
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large q
sale" aH s
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
90 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and sneutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

NEcRoBACILLOsIs OF SWINE
Disease Is Becoming More Prevalent
in Some Sections of Country
Plan for Control.

Necrobacillosis Of swine is becom-
ing more prevalent in certain sections
of the country and is assuming con-
siderable economic Importance, says
G. P. Fitch, University Farm. st. Paul,
in a paper reprinted from the annual
report of the United States Live Stock
Sanitary association. While the germ
which causes the disease is of special
interest by reason of its effect on
swine, 1t also affects other domestic
animals. 1t is found chiefly in filth,
and the prevention of necrobacillosis,
according to Doctor Fitch, must be
based on cleanliness. Pig pens, he
says, should be cleaned daily and the
floor sprinkled with three per cent So
luton of any coal-tar disinfectant.
The manure, especially from affected
animals, should not be spread on pas
lures intended for swine. The key
to the control is prevention based es-
pecially on the proper disposal of ma
nure.

other related facts. A comprehensive

BASIS FOR PORK PRODUCTION
One Source Of Failure Is That Many

prepared by the United States Depart

Recent heavy slumps in the hog
market, as well as the high prices OF
corn, have caused hog raisers in va
rious parts of the country to reduce
the number Of sows in their herds, ac-
cording to reports received. But hog
raising on the farm should be made

profit, the specialists declare.
One source of failure Is that too
many follow 1t as a speculation rather
than as business. They plunge on
hogs tust as they would gamble on
grain futures or on the stock market.
Operations of this character are never
beneficial for any business. Because
of the recent decline in the hog mar

Every farmer who is conservative,
careful, and painstaking In his hog
raising operations is able after a few
years of experimentation to determine
approximately the maximum and min

maintain on his farm at the greatest
net profit. When he has accurately
ascertained this number he should
breed that many sows every year,

that If sheared at the proper time they
