WASH THE KIDNEYS!
. VAJ1, tho blood In the body passes thro
tno kidneys every few minutes. This Is
tvhy the kidneys pliiy such nn Importnnl

good-workmen nnd become congested
poisons accumulate and we suiter from
backache, headache, lumbago, rheu
matism or gout. Tho urine Is often
cloudy, full of sediment ; channels of ten

So It Is that Dr. Pierce, of the Invalids'
Hotel nnd Surglcnl Institute In Buffalo,

by drinking six to eight glasses of water
between meals and then If you wont
to take n harmless medicine that will

get Anurlc (double strength), for 60c.
This "Anurlc," which is so many times
more potent than llthln will drive out

If you desire, wrlto for free medical

IMPROVING THE BAD SPOTS
Certain Small Ruts That Arc- Usually
Wet and Soft Determine Load
Farmer Can Carry.
Tho worst holes In tho road always
determine tlio lond tho farmer enr
market. No stretch of rondwuy Is uni
formly good, because every road hat
certain small spots that nro usunllj
soft and wet. These spots cause mors
trouble than tho rest of the road com
bined. Uow these spots nro to bo Im
proved depends on tho character ol
tho soil, and tho nature of tho coun
try. Mnuy such spots owo their char
ncter to a soft subsoil, duo to springs
Before these roads can be permanent
ly Improved they must bo under
drained. If a tile Is laid in thest
places there will usually be no trouble
In tho future. Tho surface of the road
should then be tilled with dirt ant'
crowned, so any surface water maj
run off. If this Is done there will ba
no trouble from subsurface water.
Many roadways that are closed In
with shade trees arc bad. If a goodlj
portion of the scrub timber along these
roads be removed, the ground will drj
out and no trouble result. If the char
ncter of the soil is soft and pliable, so
that It will not pack and remain firm,
new material should bo applied to tli
surface. Tho best and cheapest mate
rial for Improving roads Is graveL
Where gravel beds nro nccesslblo a
day's work with a team and wagon

application of clny to tho surface will
effect wonders. The road patrol should
spend a considerable portion of Its
time in remedying the bad spots In tho
road.
ANSWER TO PRISON PROBLEM
New York and Other States Have
Tried Experiment of Using Con
victs to Improve Roads.
New York and many of the Southern
and Western states have tried the ex
periment of using convicts to Improvo
highways nnd It has worked to Rer
fectioh. The official organ of the New
York state prisoners says that "no

else shortens the time yet to do In a
wonderful manner. Many states have
found road work to bo the answer to
the prison problem. Colorado and Call
fornlahnve rebuilt the better portion
of their ronds with prison labor, nnd
besides feeding the lnmatos with un
extrn supply of food, it has nlso led to
a lessening of time through provision's
made by the fnrslghted legislators.
WIDE TIRES IMPROVE ROADS
They Have Same Effect on Country
Highway as Roller on Field
Also Pull Easier.
Wide tires build up ronds and savo
horse labor. They havo the same ef
fect upon n country road as a roller on
u plowed field. On the other hand, tho
narrow tire cuts up n road like a disk.
It has been found by nctunl test In this
matter that the wlde-tlred wagon
mils easier In nearly nil cases than
tho narrow-tired wagon. In deep mud
on a country rond the wide-tired wag
on pulls 0.2 per cent easier. On tho
country rond with u thin surface of
mud or deep dust, however, tho nar
row tires pull 4.9 per cent easier. In
a' cornfield the wide tires pull 30.5 per
cent easier, In a dry alfalfa field 17.7
per cent euslcr, nnd on a dry country
road 10.2 per cent easier.

FARM T
QOLS READY
Make Needed Repairs on Machin
ery Before Spring Rush.
ACTUAL LOSS CAN BE SAVED
Farmors Who Walt Until Last Minute
Before Examining Implements
Often Encounter Trouble.
Place Orders Early.
(Proparod by tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Much time, trouble and actual loss
In tho operation of the farm enn bo
saved If tho Implements and ma
chines nro well cared for and needed
repairs made before tho spring rush
of work begins. Somo farmers wait
until It is time to use the Implements
then haul them out of their winter
qunrters. Tho man who follows this
practice may find thnt Important Im
plements need repairs, and nlthough
the season Is ripe for plowing or seed
ing, which should be done without de
lay, it Is necessary for him to drop
all other work and nttend to tho re
pair Jobj which could have been done
cdrller In the season. Orders for re
pair parts and new machines should
bo placed ns soon as possible. This
will acquaint manufacturers and their
agents with the demand In different
sections nnd enable them to mnke tho
best possible distribution. At tho
same time, It will eliminate expensive
delays In transportation nt tho busy
season.
Preserve AH Machinery.
All practicable steps should bo taken
to preserve machinery now on hand.
Needless exposure to tho weather
should bo avoided, and In cases where
It Is not practicable to house machin
ery when Idle, all bearings should
rccelvo n thorough application of
heavy oil or grease to keep out moist
ure and prevent rust. It Is believed
that on many farms machinery could
bo more adequately sheltered In the
buildings nvallablo by exercising care
In placing them so as to economize
space.
Importance of Oiling.
More damage can be done to a raa
:hlno In half an hour through lnck of
all or grease on some bearings than by
i whole season's exposure to the
tventher, sueclallsts of the United
States department of Agriculture de
Mare. For this sort of neglect there
:an be 'no excuse, It Is said. Operat
ing a machine without lubrication, es
pecially when the bearings are slight
ly rustyt( will quickly result In the
ivearlng awny of tho metal, often to a
ionslderablo depth, In n very few mln
ntes. Expensive breakages, as well
is serious delays, nlso may be caused
jy operating machines on which nuts
anve worked loose or havo como off
entirely, allowing bolts to loosen or
Irop out.
Some consideration In tho use and
:are of farm machinery are:
Orders for new equipment and re-
pair parts should be placed as soon
s possible.
To produce maximum results with
it minimum of labor, new and modern,
machinery In lnrge sizes should bo
ased wherever nosslble.
Serviceable equipment, not needed,
should bo sold or made available to
others.
Useless machinery should bo return
ad to the channels of trade as junk.
Thorough lubrication and proper
:aro when In uso will materially
lengthen the period of service of farm
Dqnlpment.
More care should be given to pro
tecting farm Implements from the
weather.
PREPARE A SEED CORN PLOT

(R. B. COOLON, Idaho Station.)

above 125 bushels per acre.
Buy seed corn on tho car, then you
will know whether tho rows wero

TO PRODUCE BETTER CATTLE
Improvement Made by Breeders Nov
. er More Rapid Than at Present
Poor Cows Not Wanted.
The tendency to produce better cat
tlo has gnlncd the nsccndcncy In tho
minds and efforts of cattle breeders
and Improvement has never been moro
rapid than now. A very poor grndo of
heifers or cows would find n very slow
sale under the present influence of
quality and growth.
Tho farmer, who has had tho rough
feed believes this kind of nn Invest
ment ennnot help but result profltn
bly. It Is this belief thnt Is going to
be tho salvation of the meat problem
of the country, in tho matter of gen
eral meat supply. Tho big, growthy
animal may consume a llttlo moro
grass and rough feed, but its pounds
of growth and gain will pay tho bill
nnd leave a bnlancc In Its favor when
tho feed yard period has passed.
WHAT CATTLE WORKERS DID
Field Agents Gave Advice to 5,300
Farmers, Addressed Meetings and
Gave Other Aid.
(Prepared by tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Field agents In beef cattle extension
work, according to the annual report
of the bureau of animal Industry, Unit
ed States, department of agriculture,
In the last fiscal year gave specific ad
vice to 5,300 farmers, .addressed 530
meetings with attendance of 58,780
people, were Instrumental In placing
with farmers 2,091 breeding cattle, be
sides 000 hogs, a number of breeding
mares, and 1,432 feeder cattle. Direct
assistance was given In building 118
silos, nnd 25 nddltlonul live stock or
ganizations were, formed. Demonstra
tions given Included 58 In baby beef,
150 In steer feeding, 42 In cattle pas

MANURE IS MOST VALUABLE
Humus-Making Material of as Much
Benefit to Soli as Commercial
Fertilizer.
It is difficult to compare tho valuo
of stablo manure with commercial fer
tilizer since tho fertilizer has its plant
food In n moro available form than tho
stable manure; then, on tho other
hand, tho stable manure hns a valuo
as n humus-making material which Is
almost, if not altogether, ns vnlunblo
to tho soil as its content of direct plant
food. Tho stablo manuro contains
much more potash and nitrogen thau
It does phosphorous, so that, consider
ing the high prlco nnd scarcity of both
of these in a commercial form, it is
moro important that tho manuro bo
carefully saved and applied to tho soil.
