OR TROUBLE YOU SALTS IF BACKACHY KIDNEYS Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Arent Acting Right or If Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers You, When you wake up with backache and dull misery In the kidney region It generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-know- n authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys In their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue Is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts Is made from, the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer Irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.

I keep that of the bearing orchard and small fruits aud some field and garden crops may be grown between the rows until the young trees are old enough to bear fruit. Continuous cropping la the quickest method of depleting soil fertility. In the orchard, rotation Is Imtherefore the orchardlst possible, should even be more alert concerning the preservation of soil fertility than the grain farmer. The fertility of the orchard needs to be kept up In order that profitable yields of fruit may be secured. Vegetable matter should be added to the soli to keep It In good tilth and plenty of nitrogen fertilizers should be added to give strong growth of wood. From eight to ten tons of stable manure per acre once In two years will be sufficient on average soils. In alternate years commercial fertilizers may be used. When legume cover crops are grown the amount of nitrogen aud manure may be considerably reduced. Good cultivation Is necessary at the same time as the land should always be kept in good tilth. Pruning the bearing orchard should be regular and systematic, since trees that are neglected when young never fully regain perfect form. The pruning should begin when the tiee is set, for the purpose of forming a low j head and area, to keep the head open and in a form which will' facilitate spraying and harvesting. Winter pruning is most desirable Bince Injuries to the trees are less likely to occur. During the second and third seasons the young tree should be pruned to form the head and encourage the growth of strong bearing branches. Neglected trees should be pruned vigorously but not to the extent that a heavy top growth la forced. Spraying la essential to profitable orcharding. Six of the tnoBt serious orchard pesta are codling moth, aphis, scale, curculio, scab and blight. Under the average conditions spraying with bordeaux mixture for fungous diseases and parts green or arsenate of lead for the chewing Insects will be effective. The wash is gaining greatly in favor and many growers prefer to UBe It.

Even where for convenience and sconomy It is desirable to have the lairy under the same roof as the ice louse It Is not satisfactory to attempt o combine the ice storage with a cold itore. When It is necessary to use ce for chilling milk and other dairy iroducts it is better to remove the ico Tom the ice house or compartment and ilace it in a specially constructed ice vox or refrigerator, rather than to to maintain a cold room by stor-nthe ice about and in contact with t.

Advantage :an be taken of these fluctuations to iiusband the ice supply when the two ire separate. There are decided advantages in having the ice supply convenient to the dairy house or refrigerator, but It is poor economy to build the refrigerator or cold store inside the ice storage. The arrangement suggested In figures 1 and 2 Is to be preferred. Where an abundant supply of natural Ice can be harvested annually It will be a simple matter to main tain stalling Ice House and Dairy. refrigeration by Ina system. The principle on which this patented system works Is the same as mechanical refrigeration, except that the cold is secured through a freezing mixture of ice and salt In a tank in which the primary colls are located, as shown at B In figure 3. As the brine in these coils becomes chilled it passes out through the bottom of the coils and slowly flows through the colls marked C, which are located in the cooling room. The heat of this room Is absorbed by these chilled pipes, and as the brine warms up it passes out and up into the primary coils, and in this way a continuous circulation Is maintained between the two pipe systems. For convenience, the ice house can be made a part of the structure, so that the ice can be elevated above the storage chamber and directly Into the crusher, which can be 'ocated in the attic above the primacy coils indi-- , cated at B. As the drawing thows, the space above the cooling room might be utilized as a farm shop or for a cooperage. If one were to be installed in connection with an apple orchard It would not be advisable to attempt to install this system without having an experienced engineer calculate the piping necessary for any given storage room as well as the cooling tank. The question of installation is also a very important one, and should be carefully specified. This construction Is adapted to small or to very extensive plants. The department of agriculture used this system In a plant which has been Installed at the Arlington experimental farm. The cooling room In this case ceilis 28 by 30 feet with eight-foo- t ings.

Growing Planta Require Certain Food Elementa Which Muct Be Secured From the Soil. 'All Some farmers used to have the tion that the only reason they had for hauling manure onto the fields was to get It out of their way. This class of men would have thrown the fertilizer Into a hole had one been handy. Of late it Is difficult to find a farmer who does not believe In the fertilizing qualities of manure. Manure Is the cheapest and most efficient fertilizer which the farmer can use upon his land. Growing plants require certain food elements which must be secured from he soil. All plants require the same ingredients; but the amounts vary in different plants The farmer who puts bis land In good shape during the fall and winter by fertilizing It with manure will raise the big grain crops the following summer. Live stock manure contains about 80 per cent of the plant food elements contained In the food eaten by the stock. This food was taken from the soil; so it is only reasonable that If It Is not returnee in some form the soli will become depleted. Barnyard manure Is mixed with bedding, which contains the plant food elements taken from the ground that produced Its growth. Naturally this combination is not as strong In fertilizing elements as pure manure: but It has Immense value as a fertilizer. The bedding absorbs the liquids, which would otherwise be a loss. The organic portion of a load of manure is Just as valuable for fertilizing purposes as the nitro-en- . potash, acid, etc., contained In the manure. Before the organic Is of value as a fertilizer It roust pass through a process of rotting. This process turns It into humus one of the elements In which many soils are most lacking. no- i high-clas- s horses.

MOORE) orchard management Is neces-arto secure profitable returns from fruit trees. Prevalence of insects and disease require that special attention be given to the trees to produce a good quality of marketable fruit. It Is not necessary to give up grain sr dairy farming in order to grow good fruit, but if good fruit is to be produced In conjunction with these other lines of agriculture, then the farmer must recognize the fact that there are certain things the orchard demands which are quite as important from the standpoint of fruit production as feeding the cow or cultivating the corn is in the other lines. of the farm orchards are operated at a loss so far as the value of the fruit is concerned. If the orchard is used for farm crops after the fruiting age Is reached, then the trees are a drawback to the production of these crops, not only because of the additional trouble In putting them In, but in the lessened yield. An orchard Bhould be an orchard, not a grain or hay field and an orchard combined. In the latter Instance, neither crop has half a chance. Either the orchard should be given the care and attention which is necessary to make it a paying proposition, or it had hotter be discarded and the land used for something else. There is a ;eneral awakening along the line of proper care of orchards, but in a great many instances, the grower is not conversant with what constitutes the best orchard management. This requires some Btudy, but It must be admitted that it Is worth while. The soil of the orchard should receive special attention and several methods of handling soils are now being practiced. Pasturing the orchard Is common In many sections and should be discouraged as should also the growing of hay or corn in the orchard. The system is preferred by the best growers and consists essentially ol keeping the orchard under clean cultivation during the first part of the season and then sowing a cover crop, which remains on the soil during the winter.

If the implement carrying 16 feet of sweeps were adopted, it could be used for preparing land for killing weeds before planting and by removing some of the sweeps it could be used for cultivating row crops. Mr. Homsher uses the drill frame, carrying sweeps, to kill weeds and to mulch the surface of the plowed ground. He then removes the sweeps, puts on the seed box and three drill spouts and plants the bean crop. The sweeps are then replaced with proper spacing and the crop is cultivated with this implement. This enables him to plant three rows and afterwards to cultivate two rows each trip. The sweeps are kept sharp and kill weeds better than the harrow; throw the dirt into ridges; are adjustable in depth, and do not break the clods, but raise them to the surface, while letting the fine dirt sift down where it is wanted, around the seeds and roots.

This pulverizing action on the surface offsets the advantage gained In firming. Of the implements for working the surface of plowed land, the best which have been observed in use are cultivators with attachments. The only objection to these implements is that they are not wide to cover sufficient enough ground at each trip across the field so that the work is slow. F. E.

A very important point in decreasing the cost of producing crops is cutting out extra men, or what amounts to the aine thing, increasing the area of land that can be cultivated properly by one man In harrowing large grain fields four horses are often hitched to three sections of the harrow and with this outfit a man or boy can cover 30 acres in nv J one-inc- h f-- d. There are locations where It Is more profitable to grow general farm crops than to engage in fruit growing, and under such circumstances the slzs of the orchard may well be limited to the supply of fruit needed for family use. If, however, fruit is grown for commercial purposes, it is a mistake to have a small orchard. Under modern methods of care the expense attending a small orchard la much greater in proportion to the number of trees than for a large orchard. Of course, the intelligent man will Investigate market conditions before setting large orchards, and will know pretty well what may be expected from bis soil, but when these things are well understood and seem favorable, then the profitable orchard will be the large one. Once set, the greatest care must be given or the large orchard will be a greater loss than the email one would have been.
