BACK GIVEN OUT?
Then Follow the Advice of This spo
kane Resident

Are you dragging along day after
day with a dull, nagging backache?
Do you feel tired, lame and achy;
suffer sharp, torturing pains at every
sudden move? Then look to your kid
neys! Colds, strains and overwork
weaken the kidneys and bring on
throbbing backache and knife-like
twinges. Don't risk serious kidney
disease! Use Doan's Pills-a stimu-
liant diuretic to the kidneys. Read
what this Spokane resident says:
VIM. Cardwell, manager Battery
station, e. 1923 Glass Avenue, says:
my kidneys got out of order and
didn't act properly at all. They were
irregular and the secretions passed
too freely. My back didn't feel any
too strong and there was kind of
lameness in the small of it. / used

Four Woman's Camps
Planned Next Year

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow.
SO successful was the first "Wom-
ans camp" sponsored last summer by
the University extension division, and
so enthusiastic was the cry for
more" that four camps are being
planned for the 1925 program, it is
announced by Miss Marian Hepworth,
state demonstration leader.
Southeast Idaho will get two of the
camps, and one each is planned for
the north and the southwest. The out
ings will be three days in length this
period having been agreed upon as
most satisfactory. Exact sites of the
camps have not been announced.
The 1924 outing, which was in the
nature of an experiment, was held
July Z to at Starkey Hot Springs,
Adams County. 1t was attended by
$50 women-three times as many as
had been expected. A large majority
were actually farm women who gave
up their farm work for three days to
rest and visit, battle in the pool, sit
in the shade, rest in their tents and
attend lectures and demonstrations
which were scattered over the day in
three periods with several hours of
rest intervening.
The date of the Starkey outing was
set-and the same idea will be fol-
lowed this next summer-at a time
when work is lightest on the farm,
when. more women can be spared
from farm homes than at almost any
other time during the camping sea-
son.
The purpose of the camps is three
fold rest and recreation, ideals, and
instruction. They are planned as
vacations, outings, and schools for
farm women.

How Bee Got Name

The name of the common humble

others. more precisely scientific, de-

Elimination Of Waste
On Farm Is Emphasized

The manure pile represents the
most valuable by-product of the farm
The greater part of the plant food re-
moved by the crops grown and fed
on the farm can be returned to the
soil if proper methods are employed
in handling and storing of farm
manures.
At this season of the" year manure
is being accumulated on every farm
where livestock is fed. What, asks
G. R. McDole, soil technologist of the
University Of Idaho, is becoming of
this material? Is it thrown out loose
ly under the caves so that most of the
soluble materials are carried off with
the surface drainage or is it we'll piled
to prevent these losses?
Are the stock fed in small corral
where the manure collects or are they
fed in the open field where the man
ure is we'll distributed over the whole
area?
Each farm, says Prof. McDole, has
it's own problem in handling. of man.
ure and it is not always convenient
to solve, but if the manure produces
an increase in the crops for which ii
is applied, it certainly is worth say
ing.
1t is not generally realized that
about one-half the ammonium and
three -fifths of the potash are in q
readily soluble form that may be car
ried away in the drainage waters.
These materials are the most valu
able in some of the soils of Idaho and
the most expensive if purchased as
fertilizers.
The business world regards conser-
yRtion as the elimination of waste.
Recently, articles have appeared in
magazines showing that certain lines
of business had by the elimination of
waste been able to keep the price of
their product down in spite of in
creases in the prices of labor and raw
materials. el''<
Let the farmer profit by the ex-
ample of the business man and in
crease his profits by the elimination
Of waste.

CHAPTER 16
Topaz Taggart's Love

When Mary came to Taggart's

with an air Of kindness. ~ ~.

Mary's face still betrayed her
anxiety.
"But-but If the case should go
against us-if they find him guilty?"
she cried, and broke down in tears.
Taggart came over to her and
patted her on the shoulder.

him off" He paused, then added,
"Of course, in these matters, you
never can tell what jury may do

Il Record That Vas
Different

DR.. H. A. Wright Of Seattle, who
owns a good farm on Lopez Island
in Puget Sound, on which he breeds
fine Guernsey cattle, relates this ex-
perience. The doctor, in years that
have long since passed. was breeder
of trotting horses, and during that
time had much to do with the deyel-
oping of some very fast speed records
Being approached few years ago
for job by one of his old-time
"swipes" Of racing days, the doctor
sent the man to his farm to look after
bunch of young purebred Guernsey
heifers. Visiting the farm a few
weeks later and noting the splendid
condition of 2year-old just ap-
preaching calving, the doctor said to
the ex-swipe employee, John, take
extra care of that heifer, and If she
calves all right we will run her for
a record" This rather staggered
John, and he replied, Doctor, / don't
object to feeding your cattle, and if
conditions demand it | will milk
them, but if you think that l will
train and drive damn COW in a
race, you and l are going to part
company right now" After the doc
tor recovered from a paroxysm of
mirth that followed this remark, he
explained to John that the record
that he was talking about was not
the record that John was thinking
about, and that the run was not to
develop a fleetness Of foot but that
it was to develop an excessive pro-
duction of butterfat. With this ex-
PLANTATION John decided to try for
this new kind Of sport, with the re-
suit that a year later he hung up for
this heifer 522-pound butterfat rec
ord, no doubt satisfying himself that
this kind of record was more in
keeping with the conformation of the
animal than speed record would
have BEEN.

To 'rCombine" All Small Grains?


I, The trend toward field harvesting
of all small grain and seed crops in
this country is unmistakable, accord
ing to the research department of the
national association of farm equip
ment manufacturers. While the Pa
cific Slope-California Oregon and
Washington-have been combining"
wheat for more than a score of years,
the Southwest has gone rapidly over
to this system of "once over and all
over" harvesting of wheat the past
few years. Now, sweet clover, soy
beans, red clover, oats, barley and rye
are all being successfully harvested
in different sections of the country
the past year, according to one manu-
facturer.
