Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ten, n. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

LIQUID MANURE Is HELPFUL
Vegetables Do Not Make
Proper Growth.

American farmers, generally, are
not familiar with the great value Of
liquid manure, and the way to apply
II. 1t is exceptionally helpful in the
garden and especially when any par
ticular vegetable is not showing the
proper growth. When any plants seem
weak and standing still, an applica-
ton of liquid manure once week for
a few weeks will work changes that
will seem almost miraculous. Liquid
manure is a reviver of dying plants,
for it supplies nutrition in an easily
assimilated form. 1t may be easily
provided, and should be provided for
every garden.

The effect of too much moisture Is
readily apparent In farming a wet
area, although persons not acquainted
with drainage do not always recognize
the presence of too much water in
soils that are not saturated, say spe-
ciaIists of United States Department
of Agriculture. The low part of the
field is not ready for blowing and
planting as early in the spring as the
higher parts; hence, unless the spot
is to be abandoned, the farmer either
must finish the task another day or
leave the whole until such time as
the wet place can be worked. Plant
ing on all or part of the field is then
delayed frequently seven to ten days
later than on land better drained.
Undrained Land Slow to Warm Up.
The wet ground is cold, too, and the
seed In it sprouts more slowly. The
difference between the two parts or
the two fields continues to grow as the
season advances; the undrained land
frequently cannot be cultivated until
several days after heavy rains, and
again coldness retards crop growth.
as in the spring. The difference in
temperature may be six to ten degrees
between the drained and undrained
soil. The effect of later planting and
slower growth must be apparent in the
harvest, especially where the growing
season is cut short by frost. On field
not uniformly well drained the crop
will mature unevenly, and not only
will the yield be impaired in amount.
but if uneven in quality the crop will
be rated for market at low value.
Farm drains may be either open
ditches or tile. or a combination OF

born; for 60 days or more before
calving they usually received about 10
pounds of grain mixture F, II pounds
of alfalfa hay and 20 pounds of corn
silage, a ration containing approx
mately four times as much protein and
two and one-half times as much total
nWriment as the routine ration fed to
the dry cows of the general herd.
The cows on test gave from 1900
to 10000 pounds of milk in the year:
that is, three to four times as much
as most of the cows in the general
herd. part of this larger yield is
due to the fact that the test cows
were better bred, but q part also Is
due to the larger quantity of feed they
consumed, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture in
charge of the tests. How much of the
increased milk yield to attribute to
each of these factors is question of
great practical interest.

the two. The blind bitches" of stones
or poles covered with earth have been
practically abandoned because they
are not permanent, usually becoming
ciogged with earth in q few years.
Open bitches are usually less costly
to construct, especially when large ca
pacity is required, and water on the
ground surface will flow into them
more readily, but for the smaller
drains tile has a number of advan-
tages.
8 Omen bitches interfere with cultiva-
ton, especially where large machinery
is used, but tile are buried deep enough
to he out of the way of farming opera
lions. The whole field may be culti-
waited when underdrains are used, but
system of open bitches necessarily
takes I'D much tillable ground.
Before any expenditures are made
there should be a careful survey and
examination to determine the source
of the water to be removed and it's
amount. the most economical arrange
ment of the drains, the grades obtain
able. the proper sizes of drains and the
amounts of tile and of labor.
Sometimes only few drains are
needed in the lowest part of the field;
sometimes uniform system is re-
auired with parallel lines underlying
the whole area. In the latter instance
experienced judgment is needed to de-
eide what will be the proper depth
and spacing for each kind of soil.
Free Flow From Outlet.
OF prime importance is the outlet,
which not only must be the lowest
point of the drainage system, but so
located and arranged that it will dis
charge water at the time when drain
age is needed and not be useless be-
cause of high water in the outlet ditch
or creek. The construction work
should be carefully done. under the
supervision of someone at least quail
fed to see that the tile are laid prop
erly. 1t is advisable to have COM
petent surveyor or engineer to aid in

NEED OF BUSINESS PRACTICE
Many Cooperative Associations Have
Failed Because of Lack of Finan-
ciai System.

Lack of proper financial systems
has been the cause of failures in many
cooperative associations, say special
lists of the bureau of markets, United
States Department of Agriculture, who
feel that now is an opportune time for
emphasizing the need of good business
practice among farmers.
The bureau of markets has much
information on systems of accounts
and business practice for cooperative
associations, and either directly or
through extension workers il is pre-
pared to give assistance in installing
good accounting systems for cooper
alive grain companies, cotton ware
houses, country creameries, fruit
shipping associations. egg circles, CO.
operative cheese manufacturing and
marketing associations, and cooper
alive grain elevators.
Short courses of study in market &C
counting have been prepared and are
used in a number of colleges through
out the country, and are also given
at field points where marketing as
sociations are numerous. Systems of
accounts are furnished upon request,
and advice and assistance relative to
respondence and by means of bulle-
tins especially prepared for this pur-
pose.

METHOD OF APPLYING LIME
Some Farmers Obtain Good Results
by Using Manure Spreader With
Beaten Reversed.

Lime may be applied either in the
fall or spring. The proper method of
application is important from an eco
nomlcal standpoint. Scattering with
a shovel is wasteful and the distribu-
tion cannot be uniform. The method
used by some farmers with very good
results is to reverse the beaten of
the manure spreader by crossing the
drive chains. Then the apron may he
covered with canvas to prevent the
loss of the fine stone With this
method it is easy to get q uniform
distribution.
