Fave Kidneys
Examined By
Your Doctor
Take salts to Wash Kidneys If
Back Pains You or Bladder
Hothers

Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart Of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority, who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyze the kidneys in their efforts
to expel 1t from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken; then you
may suffer with dull misery In the
kidney region. sharp pains in the back
or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue Is coated. and
when the weather Is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full Of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obIiging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids. to help cleanse the kidneys
and ndsfroff the body's urinous waste,
get four ounces Of Jad Salts from any
pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful
In a glass of water before breakfast
for a few days, and your kidneys may
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for years to help flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also
to neutralize the acids in the system
so they no longer irritate. thus often
relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
iure and makes a delightful efteryes-
cent Whitewater drink.

Proper Storage Of Ice

ing the farmer stores his Ice in, as
how he packs 1t.
Storage of Ice for summer use is
simpler than generally believed. A
properly constructed ice house Is de-
sirable, but any building affording pro
lection from wind and rain may be
used.
Proper packing is more important
than the design of the house. The
two important factors are the pack
ing material and the Ice block.
"Sawdust is a satisfactory packing
material. 1t Is easily obtainable
everywhere. Frame walls Of single
thickness require 18 inches of saw
dust around the sides, top, and bottom
OF the ice block. Twelve to IA inches
of sawdust will do for houses having
double walls with a dead air space.
Proper drainage must be provided
beneath the ice block"
Feep the ice cakes close together

well.
Smooth the surface of each tier Of
cakes with ADJ or ak. Force the Ice
chips between any cracks that may
remain. Place the next tier Of cakes
directly on the first, and so on until
the house has been filled. The entire
ice block will tend to freeze together
as one huge cake.

fort but a general improvement has
been reported In the condition and

tirely feasible, especially In regions

a combination Of the carbon-disul-

Results Secured From Tests
Made in Minnesota.

DR.. F. ]. Away, chief Of the soils
division, university of Minnesota, re-
Gently reported the results from Sc
ries Of trials of phosphate on corn on
SIS farms in Jackson county. As the
corn was husked and weighed up in
September, 1t was found, he says, that
on about one-third Of the fields there
was no distinct effect. On another
third there was an increase Of s to 10
per cent, and on the remaining third
an increase of 10 to 20 per cent. When
the corn had been thoroughly dried
there was far more shrinkage with the
unfertllised than with the fertilized
corn In nearly all cases, due to the
fact that the fortified corn was more
mature.
About one-third of the fields gave
no appreciable gain Of dry-shelled
corn; another third showed an In
crease of 10 to % per cent, and the
remaining third of 20 to go per cent.

Labor-Saving Devices
ReYolutionize Farming

sThe outstanding feature Of Amerl-
can agriculture the last rs years has
been the adoption Of labor saving farm
machinery" said H. B. Walker, pro.
fessor of agricultural engineering in
Kansas State college, to an audience
of farm and university people attend
ing farmers and homemakers' short
course exercises Mt University farm,
st. Paul.
"Seyenty-five years ago the average
farm worker cared for IL acres Of
crops" he said; to-day the average
for the United States is "a acres, or
nearly three times that Of rs years
ago. Although we have only twice
the number Of agricultural workers
we had rs years ago, these workers
are caring for nearly six times the
acreage Of crops"
1t was pointed out by Professor
Walker that the direct effect Of these
new efIiclencies and economies, brought
about by labor saving devices, has
been greater individual returns for
the farm worker, the release of mill
lions Of workers for other pursuits,
the greater production of luxuries,
lower costs Of the necessities of life,
shorter working days, and higher
standards Of living.

Cows on Cornstalks

The old custom Of turning cows on
cornstalks is a very questionable
practice. In the great majority Of
cases animals are left on the stalks
until they lose what little value they
have received from the early grain
and forage feeding. Corn fodder which
has been frozen while still green, ran.
idly loses its nutrition through oxi-
dalton and weathering. For this rea.
son there is little nutrition In the
average stalk field; and after the ami.
mails have cleaned the few ears and
nubbins left by the huskers, there is
little Of worth in the stalks and leaves.

or maggot stage. Here the bots re-
main for several months before being
developed fully and passed out. Dur
ing this time they not only interfere
with digestion but may actually cause
stoppage and result in death.
Early Winter Treatment.
Investigations conducted a number
Of years ago in Italy showed that bots
within horses could be destroyed by
administering carbon-dlsulphlde cap
sules. This treatment has been tested
by the United States Department of
Agriculture and found to be very eff
fectiye. A very Important consfdera-
ton in obtaining the best results Is
the matter Of time of treatment, says
the department Carbon disulphide
will remove many bots at any 9me Of
the year, but the greatest efficiency
can be obtained In winter months,
preferably December or January.
Early winter treatment is advisable,
because horses freed from the para
sites early will pass the winter in bet
ter condition.
