Elephants Increasing

Persons fond of pets will he de-
lighted to know that the size OF the
Worlds elephant tribe is increasing.
There was, danger at one time that
these animals would be entirely wiped
cut by the gunners from all OYER the
world who went to Africa for the pur-
pose of getting shot at some real
big game, and incidentally the ivory
which they might gather up at the
same time.
A few years ago it is said that az
many us 10000 were killed annually,
says tile Providence Journal in some
localities the slaughter was checked
by laws protecting the elephant, but
what is said to have been the great
est boon to the big animal was the
war, which had the effect of keeping
the so-called sportsmen away from
their haunts
The worlds supply of real ivory at
present is said to be 200 tons annually.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-R00t

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. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview Of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
30 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 applications
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, # you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this Observation-Disclosures.

pasture throughout the season; is high
in protein; does not bloat; and does
not winterkill readily.
The disadvantages of sweet clover
are that it encroaches on and reduces
yield Of the grain nurse crop. and that
It produces rather coarse hay in sec

Where a finer quality Of hay Is de-
sired, one should cut the sweet clover
with the grain the first year. It is
comparable to first cutting of alfalfa
with respect to quality at that stage.
However, we have found sweet clover

other years we have practically not

mer or fall. as twenty-five acres OF
splendid sweet clover were available
to the cows at the close Of the grain
harvest.

Reduce Heavy Apple
Loss by Wrapping
Early Picked Fruit Very Sus-
ceptible to Scald.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Heavy losses to the apple industry
from apple scald can be reduced very
materially, according TO the United
States Department of Agriculture, If
certain practices in preparing the
fruit for storage and market are fol-
lowed. Apple scaId is one of the most
serious storage and market diseases
of the apple and has an important
bearing on all market operations dur
ing the latter half Of the storage sea
son. Susceptibility to scald varies
with the season and with orchard con-
ditions and management. Early-picked
and poorly-colored fruit is extremely
susceptible to scaId, while well-col-
ored, well-matured apples are more re-
sistant to the disease.
A summary of the practical results
obtained on scald control in series
of experiments conducted by the de-
partment is given in a new bulletin
Just issued as Farmers Bulletin No.
1880. 1t includes brief descriptions of
the effect of maturity of the fruit,
soil moisture, temperature, delayed
storage. aeration. oiled wrappers. and
the direct application of oils and
wakes to the apple. and states the rela-
tive merits of these different treat
ments in the control ot-scald.
Oiled wrappers are the most COM
plete preventive Of seald that has been
found They have eliminated the dis
ease as market factor in all but two
Of the eighty commercial tests that
have been made. Low temperature
and prompt cooling of the fruit are of
first importance in delaying the de-
velopment of scald.

Burning Cornstalks and
Straw Is Wasting Humus

Gradually farming prosperity has
moved from east to west. No soil can
long stand such wasteful methods as
burning cornstalks and straw. Ash is
a good fertilizer, to be sure, especially
for potato land. but humus is wasted
when plant substance is burned. Soils
are more in need of humus than of
ash. especially in the old farming sec
lions.
One can buy fertilizer to supply the
soil with the elements found in ashes.
but one cannot afford to buy humus.
That must be grown and worked into
the soil. Humus makes the soil re-
tain its proper working consistency. 1t
helps hold moisture in drought. 1t
helps take off surplus water In a flood.
1t prevents soil from baking hard.
Nothing can take the place Of humus.
Work the straw and cornstalks into
the soil.

Losses of Butterfat

Losses of butterfat In separat-
ing skim milk from cream on the
farm may be traced to one or
more of the following causes, ac-
cording to G. A. Iverson of the
department Of dairying at Iowa
State college.
Low Speed of the Separator
Always run the separator at
least as fast as the speed which
is given on the handle of the
q machine.
Cold Milk-Nfilk should be at
a temperature Of 80 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Dirty Bowl-The separator
must be washed every time 1t is
used, not only because of econo-
my, but also because it is impos-
sible to produce a good quality
Of cream with dirty separator.
Worn clearinghouse disks
and other mechanical defects
often cause losses of butterfat.
The machine should be kept
clean and we'll oiled.

Repairing Damage
Done Shade Trees
Farmers Bulletin Outlines
Methods to Be Followed
in Mending Breaks.

L
prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultnre.)
The extensive injury and destruc-
ton Of trees of all kinds during recent
storms has brought many inquiries to
the United States Department OF Agri-
culture regarding the proper methods
to be followed In repairing the damage
done. The following suggestions are
made by the department.
The first thing that should be done IL
70 remove such large broken branches
as are now, or may become, a menace
to life and property; this is usually
pest done by cutting at the point where
broken. Attention should then be
given to injuries on the main trunk.
II limbs have been split or partially
split, from the main trunk, all splin-
Tered wood about the wound should be
removed with sharp gouge and mai
let, IL not so situated that 1t can be
sawed off. The scar should be
smoothed in the manner indicated In
Farmers Bulletin 1178, Tree Surgery,
and treated as an open cavity, or as
a large surface wound. as the case
nay necessitate. n
Attention to Branches.
Attention should next be given to
repairing the injuries on the larger
branches in similar manner. and last
Of all to the smaller branches. Some
lines when limb is broken away the
tree is SO weakened at the point OF
Dreakage that it may again break In q
severe wind, and to obviate this the
top must be pruned back more or less
severely. In case Of split .crotches,
the advice given in Farmers Bulletin
i17S should be followed regarding the
general treatment, including boiling
through and. above the crack.
In cases Of estates where great
amount of injury has occurred, and
only a comparatively small force IS
available for repairing the damage,
the final cutting of long stubs can be
conveniently left for time, but
wounds or breaks on the main trunk.
or close to 1t, should be attended TO
promptly, III any SuSS oSAOS
weather arrives.
1t is not necessary to fill cavities.
It is better in most cases to leave
them open. All final cuts should be
Immediately covered with some good
antiseptic and waterproof paint. 1t
will not be necessary to specially treat
the ends Of long stubs that are to be
removed close to the trunk later ID
the season.
Avoid Climbing Spurs.
In no part of repair work should
climbing spurs be used on a tree. Spur
marks cause Injuries through which
II is possible for disease and decay
germs to enter and cause damage, In
some cases more severe than would
have developed from the original SIM
nile break. For details Of treatment

Remember that prevention Is better
than cure. The open wound of today
becomes the decayed spot of next year

now than hundreds of dollars for ex-
tensive tree surgery in 1880.

Outfit for permanent hair waving bring
to you not only the best method of

method which gives you curls, waves
and ringlets that resist water, perspira-

Even Professor Metchnikof, of the
Paris Pasteur Institute, marveled at the
wonderful success of Mr.. Nestle's hair
treatment. Celebrated scientists every
where commend it. Imagine transform
ing your lifelong straight hair into
natural curls and waves in just few
hours. This dainty device does this
wonder-actually in just few minutes,
because the winding and wetting of the
hair with the LANOIL lotion takes up
most of the time, while the warming of
the hair itself only requires seven
minutesl No more nightly curling pins,
fluids or hot tongs after that. You will
have Nestle Permanent Wave, which
