II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it il that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason Is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
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, a
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 a
SALE"
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,
50 many people claim, that It ful6lls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address DIR:
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

BENEFICIAL EFFECT
OF SULPHUR SPRAYS
Quick Results From Field Demon
stratIon In New Jersey.
Returns From Potato Crop In New
Jersey Had Been Greatly Re
duced on Account Of eoab--
Crop Now Clean.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.y
A good example Of quick results In
the Improvement Of q farm practice
following demonstration work by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture and the state was found recently
on a New Jersey potato farm. where
the returns from the crop In the last
few years had been greatly reduced
on account Of scab. The department
and the state put on demonstration
on this farm last year to show the
beneficial effect of the use Of sulphur
in preventing this disease In this re-
gion. On one part Of the field, &C
cording to the owner, where no sui
phur was used the tubers were hardly
good enough for hog feed.
This year, as a result Of the lesson
brought out In the different parts or
the field, the entire field produced a
good clean crop. To be on the safe
side the grower applied 600 pounds to
the acre. Where the scab had been
worst last year there was no disease
at all and the yield, estimated by dig
ging a large number Of hills, was as
certained to be 800 bushels Of clean
potatoes to the acre.
In the demonstration conducted last
year three different quantities of sui
phur were used-at a rate Of 160, 300,
and 900 pounds to the acre. The first
gave practically no control, the second
about 60 per cent reduction, and the
third practically complete. In this
work flowers Of sulphur, or sulphur
dust. was used.

PRISON LOSES "CAMERA EYE"
Man With Exceptional Endowment
Gives Up Position He Had Long
Held at Sing Sing.

Sing Sing Is without the human
camera eye" which pierced through
disguises and made alibis futile, for
Louis Powers, Bertillon expert at the
prison for 20 years, who flnger-printed
and photographed more than 10000
Sing Sing convicts during his service,
has retired.
He was famous for his ability to
identify criminals, and for years has
been known as ''the camera eye of
Sing Sing" He was often called on
for information about criminals in vari-
GUS parts of the world, and frequently
attended trials to establish prison
records of men and women on trial.
Besides learning by experience that
women, even though preparing for the
death sentence, were ''very vain"
Powers said he had profited little
from his unique position except what
he obtained in the way of salary.

AVERAGE COST FOR GRADING
Highway Construction Apparently Has
Reached Stable 5asls--Hlgh
Prices In 1920.

The cost of grading for highway con-
struction apparently has reached a sta
BILE condition, according to statistics
of the bureau Of public roads of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture. She average cost per cubic
yard for grading on federal-aid roads
rose from 3S cents in 1917 to a peak
price Of o6 cents In 1920, and has since
gradually declined.
On federal-aid work contracted for
in the last three months the average
price per cubic yard for the whole
United States was 33 cents In April.
50 cents in May, and "a cents in
June.
The cost Of other items entering into
road work also shows general ten
dency toward stabilization. although In
many cases not as marked as that for
earthwork.

A good crop of beets viii yield from
81a to 6 tons of processed silage. The
average cost Of gathering the tops and

is about 81 ton. 1t is extremely
important that the tops be gathered
and put into small piles promptly
after the beets are topped The dirt
may be easily shaken from the tops
while the leaves are still fresh. II
is imperative that dirt and sand be
eliminated. The same structure that
is commonly used for putting up

CONSIDER USE OF AIRSHIPS
Possibility Of Their Successful En-
pIoyment In Making Aerial OBJ
servatlons Of the HlmaIayas.

Consideration has been given to the
possibility Of aerial observations in
the Himalayas. The range, 1t appears,
has only six peaks above 27,000 feet
high, and an aviator flying at about
23,000 or $4,000 ftet should have no
difficulty in crossing If the highest
peaks were avoided, while, If he chose
certain Of the gorges. an altitude of
some 1900 feet would suffice. The
greatest of the many obstacles to be
encountered Is the mountain sickness,
which occurs in the highest attitudes
through deficiency of oxygen. The grad
ual climber, going afoot, Is less handi-
capped In this respect than the avi-
ator rising suddenly from sea level In
his machine; on the other hand, the
pedestrian has more fatigue to under
90, and this practically equalizes mat
:ers. The chief consideration In any
case Is an adequate supply Of oxygen,
with proper inhaler.

TUBERCULOSIS ON DECREASE
Prospect for Ultimately Kidding coun-
try of Disease Looks More Prom
IsIng Than Ever.

The plan for eradicating tuberculosis
In cattle from entire areas, such as
counties, is daily growing in popularity,
according to reports coming to the
United States Department Of Agrlcul-
ture. The idea has taken hold In Mich
lgan and is spreading rapidly. Already
ave counties have been freed Of the
plague and reports from the inspector
In charge for the government show
that the boards of supervisors have
appropriated money and made provi-
sion for cooperating with state and
federal forces. When one county joins
the ranks for eradication its action
stimulates others to follow. The pros
pect for ultimately Kidding the country
Of the disease never looked so promis-
Ing as at present, say those in charge.

FEEDING VALUE or ALFALFA

More PaIatable.

Well-cured alfalfa has a higher
feeding value than hay from any Of
the grasses. 1t has greater feeding
value than cowpeas, soy beans or clo-
yer, partly because 1t is more pal
atable. Experiments have shown that
Il is nearly equal to wheat bran and
an economical substitute for high
priced protein concentrates. Hay
made when the alfalfa Is In full bloom
Is best for cattle, sheep and horses,
but hogs and poultry find 1t too coarse
and make considerable waste unless

One that is not so rich in cornmeal
and meat scrap as those frequently
fed to Leghorns. On the departments
poultry farm at Beltsville, Nd, the
best results with general-purpose hens
were obtained with a mash containing
only IS per cent of meat scrap with
considerable ground oats and wheat
bran. The entire mixture is made up
In the proportion Of three parts Of
corn meal, one part of bran, one and
one-half parts of meat scrap, one part
Of middlings, two parts Of ground oats,
and per cent Of linseed meal. AS
result Of using this feed the hens pro-
duced good yield of eggs, but did not
become overfat and were in good
breeding condition.
Ration for Leghorns.
Leghorns and other breeds Of the
same type can use heavier and more
stimulating ration without endanger-
ing their physical condition and the
Matching quality of the eggs. The
mash that has been giving the best
results with the departments Leghorn
flock is made up of four parts bran,
four parts middlings, 66 parts corn
meal, and 26 parts of meat scrap.
Barred Plymouth Rock pullets fed on
this heavy mash laid few more eggs
than pullets of the same breed fed on
the first mash, but they suffered In
health and their eggs were lower in
fertility.
Vegetable Protelns.
Among the vegetable proteins fed to
poultry, the department has found
that gluten meal 81 rms to be the best,
although cotton seed and peanut meal
are very satisfactory If supplemented
with animal protein in the form Of
meat scrap, tankage, fish meal, or
milk, and with mineral salts. For good
results the vegetable proteins should
not exceed 10 per cent Of the total
mash. Tests have shown that good
grade Of fish meal Is practically as
good as meat scrap or high-grade
tankage.
