Electricity From Mineral Veins.

+. r. Woodward, for the last 3S
years active in mine development in
Colorado. has worked out method
of extracting electrical energy from
the mineral veins of the earth, he
says. BY his system inexhaustible
supplies of the energy, enough for
the billions of people Of the civilized
world, will be available through stor-
age batteries of gigantic proportions
which his plan encompasses. His
plan also involves long distance
transmission of the power by wire

through finding electrical energy in
gold and silver ore. His theory is
that it comes from the sun.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Or. KIImsT'S Swamp Roof

Have you ever stopped 10 reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did net fulfill
the promises OF the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a 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 | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend for in
almost every case il shows excellent re
suits, as many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large
ssle."
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of Dr.
hilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact.
20 many people claim, that it fulflls almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder ailments, correets urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle Of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address Dr..

Prepare for Oats With

That II is profitable to plow OF disk
corn stubble ground for oats is proven
by tests made at the Ohio experiment

The average yield of the dlsked land

of the plowed land 52,92 bushels, or
almost the same; while the stubbe

bed gave only 47.43 bushels per acre.
In two very exceptional seasons the
appropriation seed beds gave the
largest yield, although in especially
unfayorable seasons the yields of the
unprepared land were less than half
that on either the plowed or the dlsked
land
The plowed land was much freer
from white-top weeds In seasons when
that winter annual was particularly
bad. Unless the land is in good con-
dition for drilling and free from weeds
blowing or thorough dlsklng is the
safest practice.

Keeping Broody Hens on
Feed Is Now Advocated

Thousands Of dollars are lost each
year because broody hens are allowed
to remain on the nests instead OF being
made to produce. Some poultry own
ers resort to starving or ducking their
broody hens or Withholding water
from them. but such treatment is in.
furious to the hens and often throws
them into an early mott. Better re-
suits will be gained If the 'broodIes'
are given plenty to drink. and II a
mash is kept before them all Of the
time. Besides, they should have a
light feeding Of scratch feed twice q
day.
A broody coop which will help in
breaking the birds Of their desire to
nest is also recommended. 1t should
be built of wire or stats, with the bot
tom of the same material as the sides
and top, and should be placed In the
hen house, preferably on the roosts
About twice a week the broody COOP
can be opened and all the birds al
lowed to escape. Any that still seek
the nest should be put back in the
broody coop.

Government Whitewash
Formula Is Very Useful

For making what is known as gov
eminent whitewash, slake a half
bushel of lime with boiling water.
Cover during the operation to keep
In the steam. Strain the liquid lime
through a fine sieve or cloth stralner
and add to It a peck Of salt, which
has previously been dissolved with
warm water. Then dissolve one pound
Of glue by soaking well or heating In
a double kettle and add to the white
wash, together with three pounds Of
rice, pounded fine and boiled to a
paste, and a half pound of Spanish
whiting. Then place the compound In
a small kettle, place this kettle In a
large one containing water and bring
to a boil. When the substance once
begins to bubble, remove from the
FIRE and add five gallons OF boiling
water. Cover 1t up and let stand for
a few days. When wished for use
reheat and apply while hot.
