KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT RECOGNIZED An examining physician for one of tbe prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the as tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants lor insurance aro re jectcd is because kidney trouble is so com mon to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica tions arc declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. According to this it would seem that a medicine for the kidneys, possessing real healing and curative properties, would be a blessing to thousands. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the well known kidney, liver and bladder remedy, is remarkably successful in sickness caused by kidney and bladder troubles. It is mild anu gentle in its action and its healing in iluence is soon noticed in most cases There is no other remedy like Swimn Root. It will surely and effectively over come kidnev. liver and bladder troubles and you can denend UDon it. Go to anv drug store and get a bottle so as to start treatment today.

Troublo Generally Caused by Two or Three Persons Handling Engine Too Many Aro Satisfied If Machine Runs. (By E. n. GROSS, Colorado AicrlcuHural uouogo, rort louum, voio.j Trouble with tho tractor often oc curs when tho oporator can assign no cause. This is most llkoly to bo tho caso when two or thrco persons bandlo tho machino and no ono 1b definitely the ongineer" and rcoponslblo for tho machino. It may also happon to an inoxporionced engineer. Tho timing- of tho spark and adjust- moht of valves aro Just sufficiently dollcato to causo much troublo if thoy aro allowed to shift Bllghtly on ac count of n looso bolt or aro Bllghtly changed by ono operator without tho knowledge of tho others. It is necessary to havo ono porsou who is tho engineer and havo him as Woll informed as possible on hlB ma chino. Every day ho should loaru something moro about it nnd its op oration, until ho can truly say at all times Just how every part is and thus locato troublo as soon as it occurs. Real troublo, time-wasting troublo, will como to such an englncor only through unavoidable accidents, and those will ba raro. Tho expert sont out from tho factory cannot operato the tractor as woll as tho engineer who operates It dally, yet ho may bo nblo to find troublo tho operator could not locato. It is the expert's buslnoss to locato trouble, tho operator's, to avoid It. Too many aro satisfied if a machino runs. That 1ft not enough. Does it run right? Ao all bearings porfoctly lubrlcatod nnd properly adjusted? Is thero pound' ing, even to tho very slightest degrco7 la tho valvo and spark adjustment such as to give tho highest powor? No one can anBwor those questions so well as tho operator, If only tho opera tor knowB. You can't get an oporator who knows these things for your trac tor, but you should got ono who will know, when ho has been on tho Job a short time.

"Cast your alfalfa before awlno and your wifo will wear pearls," says tho Kansas alfalfa expert, Coburn, In urg ing farmers to begin growing this profltablo legume. "Alfalfa is adapt ed to almost any region but must havo a soil sweotoncd with llmo and inoculated with soil from a success ful alfalfa flold or sweet clover cor ner." Many farmers havo failed with alfalfa because of poor seed and care less methods in providing a proper seedbed.

KEEP GOOD OLD BROOD SOWS Pigs From Mature Animals Avsragt) Twenty Pounds Heavier Than the Produce From Gilts. Many nwlno raisers select tholr brood sows from tho early spring lit tors and breed them in Novcmbor nnd Docembor for March nnd April far row. Theso Immaturo gilts nro fre quently bred to boars of tholr own ngo, which makes this practice all tho moro to bo condemned. Tho Wiscon sin station found that pigs from ma turo sows avorngo 20 pounds heavier at eight months of ngo than tho prod uco from gilts. Tho farmer who broods his gllto to farrow at 11 to 13 months old is tho ono who Bays that ho cannot afford to koop old sows. Ho fattens tho gilts aa Boon as thoy havo woaned their llttors, turning them off in September and aa loots another bunch of spring gilts to produco his noxt yonr's pig crop. By following this prnctlco for a few years tho. bIzo and vitality of tho hord bo como Impaired and tho business un profitable. Keep tho tried brood sow as long as sho produces largo llttors of strong pigs. When it becomes nocossary to roplaco tho old sow, select a gilt from, a largo llttor, feed her for growth rather than for fat, and don't brood her to farrow her first litter boforo sho Is 15 to 18 months old. A gilt bred at 7 or 8 months old cannot produco a strong litter and at tho samo tlmo at tain normal development without spe cial caro and it is quostlonnblo if such special attention is at all times profit-ahlo.

Tho plank drag Is also In high favor In tho corn belt. NEW CORN DISEASE IS FOUND Trouble Manifests Itself In a Weak ening of Stalk, So That Plant Is Easily Blown Over.
