Kidney & Co.
(BY DR. J. H. WATSON)
The kidneys and the skin work In
harmony. They're companions, the
skin being the second partner. If we
hro anxious to keep well and preserve
tho vitality of the kidneys und, also,
free the blood from noxious elements,
wo must pay special attention to a
good action of the skin and to see that
tho kidneys are flushed so as to elimi
nate the poisons from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or In a bath,
at least once n week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
of pure water with meals and between
meals. Occasionally obtain at the drug
store Anurlc, double strength, which
will help flush the kidneys nnd tho In

many times more active than llthln

LIVE STOCK DISEASES
Tuberculosis Is Most Common
and Widely Prevalent.
Simple Precautions by Which Owners
May Keep Ailments From Their
Animals Guard Arjalnst
Infectious Abortion.
(From tho Unite! States Department of
Agriculture.)
Tuberculosis Is the commonest nnd
most widely prevalent of all contnj,'Ious
diseases. There are ninny other in
fections, however, which are much
more easily spread, and to which the
body of the average man or animal
Is much less resistant. The explanation
of these apparently Inconsistent facts
is to be found In tho appearance of
perfect health which victims of tho dis
ease often possess long after 4 hey
have become active disseminators of
the tuberculosis genu. It is thus pos
sible for the disease to be Introduced
Into herds and to become firmly estab
lished In them without tho knowledge
of the owner.
Live stock can bo protected against
this Insidious disease by tho practice
of two rules, which may be stated as
follows :
(1) . Never introduce nn nnltnal Into
n healthy herd or Hock unless there
is positive pvoof that It comes from a
healthy herd or llock.
(2) Consult your veterinarian re
garding the special tests which can
bo made to prove whether animals are
free from serious and common diseases
and make sure that no animals are
added to healthy herds unless these
tests, combined with a period of segre
gation, show that they are free from
Infection.
Infectious Abortion.
In Its Insidious and chronic charac
ter Infectious abortion somewhat re
sembles tuberculosis. The germs of
this disease may be spread by animals
thnt are apparently healthy, and pre
cautions similar to those adopted for
tuberculosis should therefore be taken
to prevent its dissemination.
The essential cause of tuberculosis
Is tho tubercle bacillus. Unless this
germ Is present there can be no tuber
culosis. Furthermore, as far as wo
know, the germ does not seem able to
grow anywhere but in tho bodies of its
victims, and it is not able to establish
Itself In a new victim unless the animal
Is exposed to It repeatedly or for
relatively long periods of time, or un
der peculiarly unfavorable conditions.
Despite the prevalence of the disease,
therefore. It is posslljle to guard
against It by doing away with the con
ditions thnt favor Us spread.
Unhygienic Conditions.
Unhygienic conditions prepare anl
; mis for the development of tuberculo
sis In much tho same manner as culti
vation prepares a piece of land for
tho production of a crop. Nevertheless,
even under such conditions, tuberculo
sis cannot develop without the tuber
cle bacilli any more than a crop can
be produced In a cultivated field with
out seed.
To prevent tuberculosis In live
stock, therefore, the germs should be
kept away by the precautions already
outlined : First, prevent the Introduc
tion of infectious animals Into the herd
or llock; nnd, secondly, the surround
ings of live stock should be such that
the animals are kept in sulllclently
good condition to resist the chance at
tacks of the germ.

BEST CULTIVATION FOR CORN
Work Can Be Done Well With Narrow.
Shoveled Cultlv.tor Light Har
row Also Is Useful.
Shallow cultivation In a good seed
bed can be done well with a narrow
shoveled cultivator or a light harrow,
the teeth of which slant backward. In
a field In which there are loose sods
that may prevent the young plants
from reaching the surface, the culti
vator Is to be pruferred to the har
row. Harrowing corn after It Is up
ahrnys reduces the stand somewhat,
but In many cases it is a good method
f saving labor. The harrowing should
be done on a bright afteruoon when
the plants are somewhat wilted. They

iS0ME diseases of tomato
Many Promising Crops Destroyed by
Blight Bordeaux Mixture In
Given as Best Remedy.
Many u promising crop of tomatoes
is destroyed by "blight" or some one
of tho other tomato diseases. There
tire three or four distinct diseases of
the tomato fruit and vines, but to tho
casual observer these diseases usually
appear as dark depressed spots upon
the fruit or as n dying and drying up
of the foliage. The trentnieilt Is tho
same In all cases and is as follows:
Spray the plants for the first time
when they are 12 to 15 Inches high
and have become well established In
tho field, using strong bordeaux mix
ture, that Is five pounds unslneked
lime, five pounds of copper sulphate
(blue stone), nnd CO gallons of water.
The copper sulphate and lime must
each be dissolved separately, and
then diluted nnd mixed. He sure to ap
ply as a fine mist spray and do the
work thoroughly. Repeat every two
weeks until three to five applications
have been made.
OX WARBLES ARE INJURIOUS
Files Cause Serious Losses In Cattle
Every Year May Be Controlled
by Squeezing Grubs Out.
Ox warble files, which cause serious
losses In cattle every year, may bo
largely controlled by squeezing the
grubs out of Infested animals during
the early spring months. The eggs
arc laid during the summer mainly
upon the hair on the legs of cnttlo
The young mnggots are found In the
gullet from September to February,
after which they appear under the
hide. Small lumps on the back Indi
cate tho position of tho grubs.
Hides are reduced In valuefrom one
to two cents a pound by the presences
of ox warbles. Flesh Is sometimes so
damaged as to be unfit for sale. Milk
production Is lessened by tho presence
of numerous grubs. Cattle in general
are annoyed seriously by these war
bles. Removing and destroying all tho
grubs from Infested cattle will reduce
tho number of egg-laying females for
next summer.
PROVIDE GRAIN FOR CALVES
Best to Feed Cracked Corn at First
and Later on Shelled Whole
Oats Arc Recommended.
(By II. KILDHfi. University Farm, St
Paul, Minn.)
A grain ration of equnl pnrts corn,
oats and bran, with a smnll quantity
of oil meal, should be provided for the
calf. Even when only a few weeks
old a calf will begin to cat grain, and
nibble at hay. It Is best to feed
cracked corn first and later shelled
corn. Whole onts are better than
ground oats for tho young calf. Clover

liny, or mixed clover and alfalfa, Is
superior to alfalfa alone, us alfalfa
alone Is too rich for the kidneys and

Calves dropped in the fall and early
winter will do well on pasture tho

grain and shnde, while calves dropped
In the spring or early summer are
