Doan's Kidney Pills, which I got at Trout's Drug Store, brought me quick relief." (Statement given November 5, 1907) Over Six Years Later, Miss Peightel said: "Whenever 1 need a kidney medicine now. I use Doan's Kidney Pills. They always relieve me." 60c at all dealers. Poster Milburn Co.. Mfers., Buffalo N.Y. Sow Buckwheat If Corn Failed. In many sections of the State the farmers who failed to test their seed corn are finding that the germinating qualities are very poor and that lefts than half of the seed has grown, making a decidedlv Door prospect for a crop. During the early spring the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture urged all farmers to test their seed corn, but there were many who did not heed the advice and some are left with very little prospect of a corn crop. Secretary of Agriculture Chas. E Patton is appealing to all farm ' ers not to have an idle acre this season where it is possible to grow some kind of grain and he suggests that farmers who have found that their corn did not ger minate, turn their attention to buckwheat. Manylarmers are making the discovery of the fail ure of their corn seed too late for replanting, but the same fields can be successfully turned to buckwheat and sown with safety in most sections ot the State un til the first of July. The Bureau of Markets of the Department of Agriculture at Qamsburg has a large quanity of buckwheat seed on sale and farmers desiring seed are re quested to make their reserva tions at once. HIRAM.

C. Golden of Washington and Mrs. R. W. Murphy. Spraj Potatoes. Pennsylyama's potato crop has suffered heavy losses each year in the past from attacks of in sects and diseases; reducing the crop by millions of bushels. Under war conditions we can not afford to feed destructive bugs and blights with a valuable crop. Prompt and thorough spraying should be done at in tervals after the plants are four to six inches high until maturity- Spray with a combination mixture for control of both in sects and diseases with a simple application. Bordeaux mixture is made of four pounds of blue vitriol copper sulfate dissolved in 25 gallons of water and four pounds of fresh lime slaked and sprained into 25 gallons of water. These solutions must then be poured together meanwhile stir ring them rap'dly. Add two pounds of powdered lead arsenate (or 4 lbs. of paste) and spray immediately for the mixture de teriorates within a few hours. Applications of this combined spray at intervals of 2 to 3 weeks will control the potato beetle, the tiny black flea beetles and early and late bligntand rot. Pasture for the Young Colt. If this year's colt is to be de veloped into a good horse, now is the time to begin. If the weath er will permit, the young colt and its mother should be kept on pasture as much of the time as possible. Life on pasture in creases tbe milk flow of the moth er and permits the young colt to get the necessary exercise for its development, says Dr. I. D. Wilson, of vthe Pennsylvania State College animal husbandry department Moreover, tbe colt will be freer from disease if kept away from stables that are likely to be unsanitary. Later in tbe summer when the flies be gin to bother, a partly darkened shed of some sort is benehcal to protect the animals from tbe sun and flies If a shed is not available, shade trees answer the purpose very well. Plenty of, cool pure water should al wiy ha at hand. A Great Agricultural Corporation. The interesting and important announcement' has been made that a corporation with a capital of two million dollars has been organized for the cultivation of wheat on four Inbian reserva tions in the States of Montana and Wyoming covering an area of from 150,000 to 200,000 acres. This remareable enterprise has been financed at Secretary Lane's suggestion by certain New York bankers who have been actuated rather by patriotic than commer ical motives, but apart from its relation to the war, it constitutes a new departure of exceptional consequence, and the outcome may have a far-reaching influence on our national life. Every thoughtful and forward looking man must have been impressed by the circumstance 'that the great problem of a secure and sufficient food supply for a rapid ly growing population, which, despite every effort to the con trary, still tends to concentrate in urban centres, has not yet been satisfactorily solved. Agriculture is the most essen tial and the greatest of our in dustries and yet it is the only one to which the processes of or ganization and cooperation and capitalization have not been ap plied. Except for the much bet ter tools of every kind which modern ingenuity has provided, and without which the food re quired for the sustenance of one hundred million people could not possibly be produced, the culti vation of the soil is carried on under substantially the same circumstances a? have prevailed from time immemorial. It is carried on by individuals whose methods are apt to be usy somat ic, whose expert f mcier.cy is not very great and who seldom have at their command the capital tney need for the necessary ex tension of their activities and for the achivement of the best results. In the reform of these condi tions there are many difficul ties to be overcome, but those dif ficulties are not insurmountable and the organization of the Mon tana Farming Corporation may prove to have been the opening of a new era. It certainly sug gests large possibilities. Swat The Roosters Now. Due to high prices of feed that ar e ruling and the annual agita tion of the last several years to swat the roosters at this time, a great many poultry keepers will not need this admonition this year. And yet W. Theo. Wittman, poultry expert of the Pennsyl- vania Department of Agriculture 1 says that, unbelievable as it may ' seem, thousands of poultry keep-! era and farmers will again feed a ' lot of worse than useless roosters ' good grain and feed all summer. As usual, be found this spring also, a great many more males being kept for breeders than were needed or desirable. Under modern methods of poultry keeping usually more roosters are kept over for breed ers than are desirable, as too many males usually defeat the very purposes they are being kept for. Feeding roosters good gram this summer, in war time, is a'most a crime because it is not only a waste of feed, but results during the hut weather in a tremendous loss of food- eggs. Mr. Wittman asks poultry Keepers to be patriotic about this rooster question this year at least and kill them off. Kill ihem off now. The hatching season is over too. No morechicks should be hatched this year. War-Time Need for Black WaN at. Colonel Henry S. Graves, Chief oMhe Forest Sarvice, has written to the Boy Scouts setting forth the need for the censu3 of black walnut trees which Presi dent Wilson has asked the Scouts to undertake. Four or five pro pellers are required for each air plane, the Chief Forester points out and since black walnut is scarce and only the best grade can be used for this purpose, it is important that the Govern ment should know immediately the location of all available sup plies. Walnut is also the chief wood used for gunstocks. and these two requirements, Colonel Graves says, make it one of the most essential timber for ,var purposes.
