Thousands of Soldiers Contracted
Chronic Kidney Trouble While
in the Service.
The experience of Capt. John L. Ely,
of Co. E, 17th Ohio, now living at 500
East Second St... Newton, Kansas,
: will interest the thou-
sands of veterans who
came back from the
Civil Warsuffering tor-
tures with kidney com-
plaint. Capt. Ely says:
‘I contracted kidney
trouble during the Civil
B® War, and theoccasional
attacks finally devel-
oped into a chronic
case. At one time I had to use a
crutch. and cane to get about. My
back was lame and weak, and besides
the aching, there was a distressing
retention of the kidney secretions. 1
was in a bad way when I began using
Doan’s Kidney Pills in 1901, but the
remedy cured me, and I have been
well ever since.”

While: there is qgiestion thet

ter than clovers, and does not usualiy
give a large yield. For these reasons
clover is the more profitable erop to
grow, and it is far richer in feeding
value. Farmers have been feeding
too much trashy stuff, and among this
must be. classed over-sripe timothy.
Other forage crops should be grown.
An acre planted to fodder corn, well
put up and shredded, will furnish tour

If it is werth one’s while keeping cows,
it is worth while keeping them right,
because the extra gain in the end
means that much more profit. It is
just the same work to milk a cow
when giving loss milk as it is when
they give more by regular milking.
There is much to be gained, also,
by thorough milking. The more you

Care of the Turkey.
In buying a tom turkey, select one
that is two or three years old in pret-
erence to a young one, and be sure that
he is not related in any way Lo your
hens if you wish. ‘vigorous, hardy
poults.
If ycu have but few turkeys they
may -be kept laying and the cggs set
under a hen. If you follow this plan,
set the eggs as soon as you can get
nina or ten and: before the c¢zgs get
old. When the turkeys become broody,
break them up and they will usually
bezin laying again at once, and pro-
duce a clutch of a dozen or more.
Sprinkle the nests of eggs with
flowers of sulphur: each week to in-
sure against vermin. During the last
week the eggs are sat upon sprinkle
them every second day with warm
water.
After the little birds are a day old, if
the grass be dry, put them out under
a large ceop. Make a pen ten or
twelve feet square of wide beards,
and each morning that is dry, change
it. Keep them dry, and free from
filth and lice, or the mortality will be
large.
The best food for the first few days
is hard-boiled eggs and. bread and milk.
Later give sour milk curds and wheat

Growing the Potate.
Cue of the best known: successful
potato: growers in this country, Mr. T.
B. Terry of Ohio, in replying to an
inquiry, gave advice to a would-be
Potato grower that is worthy of gen-
eral dissemination, since it is based on
long, practical experience.
Seed should ze into the ground in a
sound condition, not poor or wilted or
sprouted. An expert can: get a
vield by planting six or eight bush-
els to the acre, but an inexperienced
needs to use twice that
amount. If the land is clear of stones
and rubbish so that the weeds can he
kept down by horse power, the best
potatoes and most money can be got
frem drill planting, dropping a piece
of seed with two or three eyes every
twelve or fifteen inches in the drill.
A smoothing harrow with very small
round teeth slanting backwards and a
weeder are needed for keeping these
clean. As soon as the crop is planted
the ground is harrowed and harrowed
once or twice more, on dry and sun-
shiny days, so that the weeds will be
killed.
Potatoes should up in clean
ground and it is not difficult to enable
them to do so unless ther: is an un-
usual amount of rain. As soon as the
rows can be followed a one-horse weed-
er can be used, the horse walking be-
tween the rows and the teeth scratch-
ing over two rows at once. This and
the cuitivator should be used often,
but after ten days from the time the
potatoes come up the ground should
never he cultivated more than two
inches deep with a cultivator having
1all teeth. To run a cultivator or
plow through deeply tears off the roots
and will shorten the crop, particularly
in dry weather; before the potatoes
aie six inches ‘high the roots ¢ross be-
tween the rows and if they are dis-
turbed after that’ there will not be a
full crop.
In accord ni most
growers Mr. rry says: Do not plant
in hills, for Hh is no way to grow po-
tatoes nowadays! It is only when a
plow must be used in caring for a crop
that potatoes are hilled = up, because
when. so cared for they can be kept
cieaner in hills. In cultivating pota-
tces he advises that they be not hilled
up any more than is done by the side
shovels in the cultivator, running not
more than two inches deep. Ii the po-
tatoes are planted four inches deep in
drills and hilled up an inch or two by a
cultivator, this latter being necessary
to keep weeds down, there will be no
green tubers to amount to anything,
says Mr. Terry, and not nearly
many as when high hiiling is done.
Made Him Curious.
“Were you glad the jury
agreed?’ the prisoner was asked.
**Not altogether,” he replied thought-
fully. “After hearing the lawyer's
plea for me I really had some
curiosity as to the question of my
guilt.—Philadelphia Ledger.
