"Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu

for the System.
Kidney and DIadder weakness result
lrom uric acid, says a noted authority.
Tho kidneys filter this acid from tho
"blood and pass it on to tho bladder,
whoro it often remains to lrrltato and
Inflame, causing a burning, scalding
sonsntlon, or sotting up an irritation
at tho neck of tho bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during tho night. Tho sufferer Is In
constant droad, tho water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
And is very profuso; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, becauso they can't control urina
tion. Whilo it is extremely annoying
And sometimes very painful, this is
really ono of the most simple ailments
to ovorcomo. Got about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
tako a tablcspoonful In a glass of
"water before breakfast, continue this
lor two or threo days. This will neu
tralize tho acids in tho urlno so it no
longer is a sourco of irritation to tho
bladder and urinary organs which then
tact normally again.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from tho acid of grapes
and lemon julco, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
aro subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid Irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Hero you have a pleasant, efferves
cent llthla-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble. Adv.

In attempting to carve a fowl ono

"My dear," said the enraged man's
wife, "don't talk so much about tho
aged and respectable Mr. D,; ho sowed
the first patch of corn that was plant

"I know that," said the husband,
"and I believe this hen scratched It

PRUNING AND SPRAYING ARE PROFITABLE
Experts of Missouri College of Agriculture Spraying an Orchard Noto
Whitewashed Trunks to Reflect Sun and Prevent Sunscald and Trunk
Injury.
Tho apple crop is making moro
money than any other farm crop if
properly grown and marketed, accord
ing to J. C. Whitten of tho Missouri
Collcgo of Agriculturo. Many men aro
making llttlo or nothing out of it be
causo of their failuro to pruno, spray
and caro for their trees. Such men
havo been complaining that thoy could
not sell their apples, and enormous
quantities certainly were wasted in
Missouri orchnrds last fall. At tho
samo tlmo, tho growers who had prop
erly managed their orchards, graded
their fruit and put it into cold storage
for highor prices later In the winter
are making money out of their crops.
If the orchards aro not well managed,
so much of the fruit is small, scabby,
wormy or otherwise so unilt for Btor
ago that a satisfactory price cannot bo
secured for it; so it is dumped on the
market in poor shapo for immediate
use and la worso shapo for storage.
Such frult'spolls tho market temporar
ily, but is quickly consumed or lost,
and even this soon after Christmas
wo are paying high prices again for
good apples.
Tho value of careful spraying is well
shown by a test in which tho collogo
co-oporated with 25 orchardlsts and
sprayed each orchard four times a
year at a cost of $22.26 an acre. Tho

PREVENTIVES SAVE
MANY FRUIT TREES
Number of Schemes Have Been
Tested Out by Experiment
Stations and Growers.
(By C. C. VINCENT. Idaho Experimental
mauon.)
Tho damage caused by rabbits each
year during tho past few years has be
come moro and moro pronounced, In
most of our highly developed fruit sec
tions tho growers havo found that It is
a very easy matter to provont rabbits
from injuring tho trees. In most all
caBes tho damage is duo to neglect
rather than a lack of efficient remedy.
A number of preventives that havo
been tried out by practical growers
and experiment stations aro given bo
low: Poisoned bait has been used vory
effectively in many sections by placing
It where tho rabbits can get it. A for
mula consisting of ono part strychnine,
ono-thlrd part borax, one pnrt white
sirup, ten parts wntcr, recommended
by tho Ohio experiment station, has
given good satisfaction. This mlxcuro
is applied to tho tendor twigs which
aro distributed around tho baso of tho
treo.
Tree protectors aro also used by
many growers. Strips of wire window
screening 18 to 24 inches long and
9 to 12 inches wide aro used frequent
ly. Theso strips to wrapped around
tho baso of tho treo in tho form of
tubes with tho lower end pressed Into
tho ground.
A woven wire fenco is dcslrnblo
whoro tho planting is largo enough to
Justify tho exnen??. Wooden veneer
strips, having about the samo dlmen
elons as tho wiring screening, havo
also been recommended.
Washes of various kinds aro also
used quito extensively by our growers
Heavy rains, howover, wash them off
occasionally, which makes it necessary
to repeat tho application. A taint of
any kind on tho trunk of tho treo will
keep the rabbits from Injuring it. Hog
of tho agricultural extension sorvlce
says pruning may bo dono any tlmo
during tho winter whon tho weather Is
warm enough to mako tho work com
fortablo. Ho proceeds to glvo some
brief slmplo directions for getting good
results Ly what ho calls renovation
pruning of npplo trees. Most of tho
Missouri orchards aro certainly In need
of a thorough renovation. -

ting off all tho branches easily

reached from tho ground, and leaving
tho treo looking liko a largo feather
duster. Begin at tho top and thin out
branches which shado tho center of
the tree too much. If tho tops aro too
high, lower them moderately and grnd
ually so as not to disturb the balanco
between top and roots. If tho root
system has been developed to take
caro' of a largo top and much of this
is suddenly removed, tho roots will
Bend up so much moro material than
tho remaining top can use that thoro
will bo a big growth of water sprouts.
Most pcoplo removo too llttlo instead
of too much of tho top, but it is often
necessary to distribute tho work over
two years and sometimes over threo
years.
Trees planted too thickly may need
thinning, but if the branches of neigh
boring trees overlap, tho lovol ones
may bo cut back to soma upright
branch. Always pruno closo to tho
trunk or main branch, and never leave
a stub to carry decay Into tho treo.
Paint all cut surfaces with white lead
and raw oil. Cut out blister canker
completely, and dlsinfoct tho pruning
tools in a mixture of corroslvo subll
mato in a thousand parts of water, or
dlseaso may be carried from treo to
treo throughout the orchard.

rubbed on tho trees, will glvo good ro
suits. Tho lime-sulphur wash rocom
mended by tho United States depart
ment of agriculturo has given consid
erabio satisfaction. Tho wash consists
of: Unslaked lime, 20 pounds; llowers
of sulphur, 15 pounds; wator, 50 gal
lons. Tho lime, sulphur and ono-thlrd
of tho water aro boiled together for
ono hour and then the rest of tho watot
added. Dy adding salt tho wash will
stick better.
PRACTICAL "DONTS"
FOR BEST SPRAYING
Orchardist Must Not Expecl
Profitable Results If Work Is
Not Thoroughly Done.
Don't expect results if tho work ie
not thoroughly dono.
Don't think a weok earlier or latoi
than the dato recommended is just as
good.
Don't overspray. A continuous oven
coating should bo left on tho fruit and
foliage; any material which runs off
docs no good.
Don't think that ltmo-sulphur will
control apple blotch as well as bor
deaux mixture
Don't apply bordeaux mixlturo dur
ing wot weather; it Is liable to russet
tho fruit.
Don't try to got along with a ma
chine which is worn out or too small
to do good work; if tho work is worth
doing it 1b worth doing well.
Don't fail to clean tho machine
thoroughly after each spraying; it
saves much troublo when tho time
comes for the next application.
Don't think that spraying alono will
insure good fruit; pruning and culti
vation aro equally essential.
Don't think that spraying will pay
unless tho fruit Is woll marketed;
Bpraytng Is only part of tho battlo.
Don't fall to apply to your stato ex
periment, station whon in spraying
