Clean Kidneys
By Drinking
Lots of Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys IL
Bladder Bothers or
Back Hurts

Eating too much rich food may pro-
duce kidney trouble in some form,
says a well-known authority, because
the acids created excite the kidneys.
Then they become overworked, get
sluggish, clog up and cause all sorts
of distress, particularly backache and
misery In the kidney region, rheu
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irri-
tation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or il bladder
bothers you, begin drinking lots of
good water and also get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast for
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 flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to activ-
ity; also to neutralize the acids in
the system so that they no longer
irritate, thus often relieving bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts can not injure anyone !;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men
and women take now and then to help
keep the kidneys and urinary organs
clean, thus often avoiding serious kid
ney disorders.

Manure Allowed to Pile
Up Loses It's Fertility

There is always loss when manure
Is permitted to pile up-be 1t summer
or winter. The loss In the warm
months is apt to be heavier than In
the case of winter-stored manure ex-
cept where the latter Is held with no
protection from the weather. But In
summer, whether manure Is kept un-
der cover or not, 1t is certain to lose
considerable of its fertility through
heating. This is purely bacterial and
chemical change. The most effective
way to check 1t is to keep the waste
slightly moistened But better than
this Is to get it to the fields If possible.
1t is no failure in economy to fer
tilize grass plots which one plans to
plew in the fall or following spring.
If manure be applied directly to the
grasses in small amounts and thinly
spread no loss of fertility elements
will occur. Distribution is always bet
ter than allowing the waste to pile up,
although If properly protected 1t can
be held for short periods without seri-
Gus loss.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Farmers visiting the Yuma reclama-
ton project near Bard, Calf, have
been impressed with the results OBJ
tanned by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in its investiga-
lions to determine the causes of the
apparent decline in yield Of alfalfa
hay during the last few years. Simple
fertilizer experiments indicated that
where alfalfa was making unsatisfac-
tory growth on the Yuma project acid
phosphate could be used to very good
advantage. Furthermore, preliminary
tests indicate that seed production
may be materially increased through
the application of acid phosphate.
The farmers have tried acid phos-
plate on their own fields with such
satisfactory results in practically all
cases that the demand for the fer
tilizer has increased each year. APP
proximately $50 tons of 10 per cent
acid phosphate was sold to the project
farmers in 1924. This is equivalent
to $50 pounds per acre on 1000 acres.
All the tests showed a marked i'm
provement in the growth of alfalfa
from applications of acid phosphate.
There seemed to be little preference be-
tween 10 per cent and A per cent acid
phosphate, providing equivalent guam

Soy Beans Prove Great
Value as Swine Forage

Ten years ago soy beans were little
grown In Missouri At that time the
college of agriculture was expert
menting with hundreds of strains and
varieties, trying to determine the eco
nomic possibilities of the crop for Mis-
souri, farmers and trying to select out
of this large number the best strains
and varieties.
Today Missouri farmers grow $780,
600 acres of soy beans for seed and
forage and 100000 acres in corn for
hogging down and for silage. Eighty
five per cent of this great acreage Is
seeded with four varieties determined
by the experiment station to be the
best among the hundreds tested.

Great Preventable Loss
in Using Common Sires

A great preventable loss In Amer
lean animal production is in the low
quality of the sires used, says the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. In no other phase Of ami
NAL husbandry is it possible to make
such direct, such marked, and such
profitable improvement at such slight
cost as in the use of superior pure
bred sires.
Records of the beef-cattle breeding
work at Sni-a-Bar farms, Jackson
county, Mo-, furnish examples of the
value of a good bull Common cows
In calf to common bulls were pur-
chased as foundation stock for the
demonstration farm. These cows were
later bred to pure-bred beef bulls. The
frst-class steers brought So hun
dredweight more than the common
steers.
Since the dams. of the two lots were
essentially the same and the methods
of feeding and marketing were identi-
cal, the difference of 81 hundred
weight In their value may be fairly

Lack of Potash Cause
of Poor Glover Crops

Investigations in Wisconsin have
shown that one of the causes for the
decline In various clover crops Is lack
of sufficient potash. Alfalfa and all of
the clovers use large quantities Of
potash, and cannot dc their best when
there is a shortage of this element.
One of the indications of potash
starvation in alfalfa lis tiny white
spots the size of small pin heads APP
pearing on the leaves, while the same
thing In clover is indicated by similar
yellow and brown spots.
The Wisconsin College of Agricul-
ture, pointing out that it takes four
tons of farm manure to supply the
potash needed by one ton of alfalfa
or clover, says that it Is more eco
nemical to use potash fertilizer than
to depend upon farm manure to keep
up the supply of this element. From
one hundred to two huAdred pounds
per acre of potash fertilizer is suf-
f1cient for clover; alfalfa requires
three hundred to five hundred pounds
per acre. This may be applied as
top dressing In the spring or fall after
the crop Is started.

Fatal Boomerang Duel

The practice of duelling is not con-
fined to the countries of Europe, but
is an ancient custom among the ma
tive tribes of Australia. Although
most Binghi alterations end tamely
with little damage done to either
party, Sydney Bulletin correspondent
witnessed one In Queensland when
two young natives quarreled over a
girl, and agreed to settle possession by
combat. Armed with half a dozen
boomerangs each, they stood about
thirty yards apart, and at signal
commenced lodging about and throw
ing. Though both men were furiously
angry, temper did not affect their ac-
curacy, each scoring four hits, each
hit infiicting cut in the flesh. The
duel lasted about two minutes and
when the last boomerang was thrown
both men were on the ground. Efforts
were made to aid them to recovery
but both died within few hours.

Value of Lime

Tests made at the Pennsylvania sta
ton shew in practical way the re
suits which may be obtained by apply
ing lime In its different forms for the
correction Of soil acidity. Pulverized
limestone was used In double the
amount of burned lime. But even at
this rate of application enc ton of
burned lime was mere effective than
two tens of pulverized stone, despite
the fact that the stone was passed
through 100-mesh screen. Most of
the limestone could be roughly CLASH
fed as Nc. material.

Complete Set of Names and
Terms to Describe
Groups Desirable.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The need for standard market
classes and grades of live stock is
emphasized by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture in a bulletin
which sets forth Standardization
program.
Even since the establishment of
central live stock markets." says the
bulletin, there has been considerable
confusion, much disappointment, and
difficulty In describing market trans
actions in such way that the pro-
Queer on the farm or on the range,
tho slaughterer at some distant pack
ing center, the trader on another mar
ket, and the student in his classroom,
may understand exactly what hap
pened on the market.
Have Own Standards.
Practically every live stock mar
ket has Its own standards, its indi-
vidual preferences, and its own meth
DDS of doing business. All these mat
ters are thoroughly understood by
those ON the market daily, but when
an attempt is made to describe mar
ket transactions to some one at dis
lance, or to one who Is unfamiliar
with practices prevailing at that par
ticular market, difficulties are en-
countered.
''Much of the confusion" the depart
ment continues, "arises from the fact
that certain set of names and trade
terms are rather generally used to
describe live stock at all markets.
The meaning of the names and terms,
however, varies between markets, be-
tween individuals on the same mar
ket, and frequently with the same in
dividual on the same market at differ
ent times and different seasons.
Zone result Of this variety of def
nttions Of terms and shifting of stand
ards is that producers having shipped
live stock to a certain market in the
belief that prices were highest there,
frequently are disappointed to find
that prices actually are higher at
some other market which they might
have patronized. Frequently live
stock Is forwarded from one market
TO another because the shippers be-
lieve the second market is higher than
the first. when subsequent events show
the opposite to be the case. In most
instances of this kind the difficulty is
due, not to any intention to deceive
on the part of anyone, but merely to
the fact that the same or similar
terms carry different meanings on diff
ferent markets and when used by diff
ferent individuals.
Desirable Conditions.
'In view of such conditions 1t would
seem highly desirable to have a COM
plete set of terms and names with
which to describe the various groups

 Miss Slye also attacked the American association for the con- trol of cancer, the principal organ. ization in America for disseminat- ing knowledge regarding the dis. case, for not telling the public that the tendency to cancer was inherit ed. She described experiments in which she had introduced cancer heredity into strain of mice, but has prevented 1t from showing 1t. self for 25 generations. Cancer might remain hidden in human in heritance for just as many genera tions, she said When one of the parents had pure cancer resis- tance. the disease did not come to the surface in the children, but when both parents inherited a tendency to cancer the offspring raight develop the disease.
