Year Kidneys Keep Yoar Blood Fare
If They Are Well. A Few Facts
About Them, snd How to Make
Them Well When They
Are Uck.
1 Your blood is what nourishes your
body.
Now blood is made every minute.
It goes to the lungs, gets fresh air, and
then passes through the body. In pass
ing, it deposits new flesh, fat, bones,
etc., and takes up worn out matter.
This worn out matter goes to the kid
neys. The kidneys filter it out of the
blood and throw it out of the body.
That is, when they are well, they do.
When your kidneys are well, they
act, as perfect filters, to keep your
blood pure. When they are sick, they
act imperfectly. They leave the bad
matter in. Sometimes they take out
the good.
There is nothing more poisonous than
, bad blood.
A proof of this is rheumatism.' It is
■ simply a blood-poisoning caused by the
bad matter left in the blood by sick
kidneys.
Bright’s disease is the kidneys work
lng the other way—taking the good
food out of the blood.
Both kinds of kidney sickness are
dangerous.
Both can be cured by Dr. Hobb’s
Sparagus Kidney Pills.
One of the most wonderful facts of
our body is this natural filter inside
ns. Our kidneys are very important
organs. We don’t take enough care of
them. We are sick oftener than there
is any need for. It is simply because
we take no heed to our kidneys.
Sick kidneys show their effects in
many different diseases.
Rheumatism and Bright’s disease
are very common. Anaemia, Neural
gia, Pain in the Bacli, Dizziness, Blad
der Troubles, Gravel, Diabetes, Sleep
lessness, Nervousness.
These are only a few symptoms, or
so-called “diseases.” Back of them all
are the sick kidneys.
Once the filters can be made to work,
all these symptoms will disappear.
Dr. Hobb’s Sparagus Kitfhey Pills
are made principally from the roots of
the asparagus plant, which has a spe
cial curative action on the kidneys. It
gives them new life and strength. It
helps them to do their work as it ought
to be done. It cures their sickness. It
- cleans and renews the filter.
' When the kidneys are well you will
feel a great difference at once. Your
complexion will clear, and your whole
body will get renewed life and fresh
ness.
This is the effect of Dr. Hobb’s Spar
agus Kidney Pills on the sick kidneys,
. of the re-vitalized kidneys on the im
■ pure blood.
With a course of Dr. Hobb’s Spara
gus Kidney Pills you will get new life.
They will cure you when other medi
cines.which do not reach the real seat
of disease, cannot help you.
Dr. Hobb’s Sparagus Kidney Pills are
for sale by all druggists, price 50c. per
box, or will be sent prepaid to any ad
dress on receipt of price.

about the kidneys and their power for
good and evil, sent free on request.

HE subject is one
In which much*cap
ital is invested, and
to make the busi
ness pay one has to
give it the closest
study.
1. We have the
cow. She must
change the feed in
to milk. The cow
may be compared
w au cugiuc auu me iccu ivi
the fuel. Now, if the engine has
only enough fuel to overcome friction
you get no power, or if you use the
fuel to overcome the friction in two
machines which could he used in one
you lose time and fuel, but if you use
this in one machine you realize a profit.
The same with a cow. We are told that
it takes two-thirds of what a cow eats
to sustain the system, one-third to pro
duce the milk. The less a cow haB to
travel to get her feed the greater
amount of milk per pound of feed.
I have thought many times when I
have seen cows hurried by men, boys
and dogs whether the owner ever con
sidered the cost.
2. The feed and surroundings.
The cow is like a filter. If you over
tax it by giving poor feed you soon
wear it out; besides producing a poor
article of milk, butter and cheese.
I believe the seeds of poisoned cheese
are sown in letting the cow drink stag
nant water, eat fermented food, or
breathe foul air. This much we do
know, that the best grades of milk pro
ducts are made where the feed, water
and air are of the purest.
3. The care of milk. It is essential
that milk should be well aired and
cooled as soon as milked to Btop the
tainting or decomposing. See that the
udder is well cleaned before commenc
ing to milk, and do not wet your hands
so they will drip in the pail. '
How much milk should a cow give?
There are records as high as 18,000
lbs. of milk per cow in one year, but
the farmer can get a dairy which will
average 6,000 lbs. per cow, and he will
not see the difference in cost of keeping
between it and one which gives only
4,000 or 3,500 per cow. Old dairymen
in the east made cheese for 3 and 4
cents per pound years ago, ant^ the
best of them say they would not keep
a cow which would not make 600 lbs.
of cheese in one season. Now the aver
age at most factories does not exceed
350. At a factory in north-east Ohio,
at the yearly meeting, the best and the
poorest dairy were compared, with the
idea of stimulating the patrons to im
prove their dairies and care of them.
The "best dairy of 14 cows had received
from the factory during the year an
average of $50 per cow, while the poor
est one of 10 cows had received only $27
per cow.
The dairy well solves the question as
to what to do with our farms. Grain
raising exhausts the land by always
taking from it and returning nothing
to it, while in raising stock for beef,
we find ourselves in competition with
the west, where it costs but $4 to raise
an animal of 1,200 pounds weight.—
Geo. Sindair.

Granular llutter.
There seems to be an impression here
and there, says a writer in the Practi
cal Farmer, that what is known as
granular butter can only be made by
the few who possess the “know how,”
and have purposely constructed ma
chinery. Such is not the case. There
is no make of churn that granulates
butter better than another, if we dis
card the dash churn. The only secret
in the matter is to stop the churn at
the right stage, and add the water, sj
to harden these little granules of fat
and give the fluids free exit from the
churn. In hot weather the granulation
of butter is all the more important, as
there is the greater need of getting the
buttermilk out of the mass. Summer
butter wants to be churned as cool as
possible, and it is here that the owners
of separators have the advantage, that
they can cream the fresh-drawn milk
down to 33 per cent of actual fat,, and
churn this cream exhaustively at 52
degrees, which is the actual crystaliz
ing stage of butter, and get separation
with little or no washing. By the or
dinary way of churning, at about 60 de
grees, the churn would be stopped as
soon as the cream shows signs of
breaking, and a half gallon or so of fair
brine added to the cream, when the
butter will come, and more water is
_: „ nJ/lnJ hnfnfe tl.een in
tempt to remove the buttermilk. Then
the butter granules float on the surface
of the 54 degree cold water, and one
has granular butter without an effort.
Where the cream from any cause is
very sour, it Is a good practice to put a
quantity of brine into the cream at the
start, and have this act as a sort of a
solvent of the casein, and will be a
great help in preventing specks in the
butter. One thing about granular but
ter is its varying content of water, and
no maker can work it down to a uni
formity every time; even experts will
vary as much as five pounds in 100
pounds of butter. The larger the
granules the less water will be held in
the butter when it is packed.
Chickens or Docks.
A New Jersey poultry raiser recently
made a test to decide the question of the
relative profitableness of ducks and
chickens. He gives the following re
sult: At a week old the duckling
weighed four ounces, wnile the chick
only reached ■ two ounces. At two
weeks old the duckling reached nine
ounces, and the chick got up to four
ounces. At three weeks, duckling one
pound; chick, six and a quarter ounces.
At four weeks, duckling one pound and i
nine ounces; chick, ten ounces. At five J
weeks, duckling two pounds and two
ounces; chick, fourteen ounces. At six'
weeks old, duckling two pounds and
eleven ounces; chick, one pound and
two and half ounces. At seven weeks
old, duckling three pounds and five
ounces; chick, one pound and seven
ounce*. At eight weeks old, duckling,
four pounds; chick, one pound and
twelve ounces. At nine weeks old,
duckling* four pounds and eight ounces;
chick, two pounds. So It can be seen
that in the same time the weight of
the chick was doubled by that of the
duck. The prices for dressed car
casses run very close to each other, so
that the increased price per pound
makes the profits on the duck greater,
although It takes about twice the
amount of food to grow them.—Ex.
Merits of Hpudans.—Wright, the well
known English authority, says; “With
respect to the merits of Houdans, we
| have no hesitation in pronouncing them
I one of the most valuable breeds ever
i introduced Into this country. We have
In this breed the size, form and quality
of the Dorking, with earlier maturity.
The hen is a most prolific layer of good
sized eggs, which will almost invariably
be found fertile—a point the Dorking
Is very deficient in, as all prize breed
ers know to their cost. The chickens
feather very rapidly and early, but are
nevertheless exceedingly hardy—per
■ haps more so than any except Cochins
and Brahmas—and are therefore easily
j reared with little loss. They are em
| phatically the fowl for a farmer and
will yield an ample profit on good feed
ing, both in eggs and flesh. Almosf
their only drawback Is their refusal to
incubate.’’
I We have satisfied ourselves that hens
I may be fed too much, to be good layers,
! and that they may be fed In such a
manner that they wiil not want to sit.
A hen that is poor never wants to sit,
1 and if she is kept in laying condition
she will not get the sitting fever at all,
or if at all, not until late in the season.
| We have tried feeding Brown Leghorns
> all they would eat, while confined, and
I it is not a hard matter to get them fat
! enough to get in the notion of clucking,
I though they hardly ever sit more than
, a few days at a time unless they are 4
or 5 years old. We had a pen of Light
Brahmas which we prevented from sit
ting at all until some of them were two
! years old by feeding them carefully,
i and we must say they were fine layers
I all the time. They were not as proflt
! able of course as our Leghorns, because
I they ate more and did not lay as well,
I but they were non-sitters while we fed
{ them for the purpose of keeping them
i from sitting. They got but very little
I corn, but had all the milk they wanted,
j and were lightly fed on wheat screen
ings, oat meal, bran and shorts, and
other muscle making food. We have
been very much interested in a flock of
Plymouth Rocks for the last year, the
owner of which has taken great care
to feed them properly, and has kept
strict account of the feed they con
sumed, and the eggs they produced.
When the year is finished, we shall give
a full account of the amount of profit
realized from them in a year. This
flock has been fed for eggs, but with
out trying to prevent them from sit
ting, as the owner wanted to raise
| chicks, and had done so. Wo think the
i showing will be such a one, as will put
to shame the man who claims thdt
poultry does not pay. The care has
been only such as any farmer or vil
lager could give a flock, and there has
: been no attempt at fancy or costly ex
; periments. The flock is kept for the
j money there is in them, and the results
I will be valuable to all who want to
know what can be done with only good
care and common sense.—Farm News.

| The Southern Farm in speaking of
j the growing of mules and their value
I for plantation work says that good
I teams of young mules can be made to
i do considerable work for from 1.8
! months to two years, just at a time
when they will, under ordinary cir
cumstances, bring the best prices. With
good care, mules can be broken and
worked easier than horses, and farmers
who cannot keep several teams profit
I ably at work all the time, and yet find
: it necessary to keep several, will find
j it will pay to keep two or three mares,
j the number to be proportioned to the
j number of teams considered necessary
to keep up with the farm work, and
then breed them to a good jack and
raise good mules, keeping the marcs
in a good thrifty condition so that a
good growth can be secured. Then
they can be used for some time on the
farm while they are growing fully suf
ficient to pay their feed, and at the
same time have them gradually in
creasing in value and selling at an age
when they usually bring the highest
figures. Of course, care must be taken
of them so that a good, thrifty growth
can be secured. Some breeders make
the claim that raising mules can be
done onlj^ on a scale sufficiently large
to pay the farmers for making extra
good fences in order to keep them con
fined.
The difference in the cost between
good mules and poor ones is the differ
ence in the cost of service. It will
usually cost more for the service of a
real good jack than it will cost for a
poor one, and all other things being
equal, the difference in them is a small
item in comparison with the value of
the mules when they are ready to sell.
If they are fed so as to be kept grow
ing steadily, in a good, thrifty con
dition, the cost is the same, or nearly
the same, whether the animal is a
good or poor one, tnd to secure the
most profit the best must be raised, and
if the best is raised it is very essen
tial to have the mares bred to good
jacks.
Oldest Twin* In the World.
Nathaniel and Benjamin R. Barry, if

Beauties of the Material Life.
All the hymns, all the prayers, all
the stripture reading's are as nothing1
unless you make their beauty come into
your daily life, writes Ituth Ashmore
in the October Ladies’ Homo Journal.
Take some of the care off the shoulders
of the busy mother; make life seem
more pleasant by yourgraeious thought
of that father who toils all day long.
Make it easier for a sister to dislike the
wrong and do the right; show a brother
the rosy side of the cross, and so make
it lighter foe him to carry. And do all
this, not with loud protestations, but
quietly and gently, letting God’s name
be whispered in your heart, nnd being
only the s^ter nnd daughter without
forcing the knowledge that you are the
Christian. Then, very soon, some one
will realize that your beautiful life is
lived for Christ's sake, and then you
will represent Him as all women should,
not by speaking from the pulpit, not by
giving commands, but by living every
day the life that he would wish should
be yours.

Romance in the Kgs Market,
Some months ago Miss Hanna Dun

sorting eggs for market, conceived the
idea of writing her name and address
on one of them, with the request that
the person who found it would eorre-,
spond with her. This was done sim
ply as a joke, and the girl thought no
more of the matter until she received a
letter from Robert Crawford, a grocer
at Providence, It. I., who had found the
egg in a lot ho had purchased. The
acquaintance formed in this way grew
into a warm friendship. Mr. Crawford
arrived in Heaver Valley recently, and
both he and Miss Duncan were pleased
with each other, and they were mar

Absolutely pure
Sound* nt Night.
Sir David Brewster has given an ex*
cellent account of a mysterious night
sound which would have frightened
most persons, but which proved inno
cent and harmless when tested by a
steady observer. A gentleman heard a
strange sound every night soon after
getting into bed. His wife, who re
tired earlier than he, also heard the
wierd sound, but not until the husband
had got into bed. For a long time no
possible cause could be assigned, and
the effect upon the imagination became
rather unpleasant. The husband dis
covered some time afterward that the
noise came from the door of a ward
robe which stood near the head of the
bed. It was his custom to open and
close this wardrobe when undressing,
but, as the door was a little tight, he
could not quite shut it. The door,
probably affected by changes in the
temperature, forced itself open with a
dull sound which was over in an in
stant.
And so many a ghost story could be
solved by a little attention to the
sounds resulting from the expansion
and contraction of woodwork, such as
doors, panels, window-frames, wain
scoating and furniture. Heard at night,
when all is still, the sudden creaking
of furniture in a room is often quite
startling, until one comes to know that
it is due to the weather. — Lippincott’s

Woman’s Ways on the Wheel.
It is noticed in cycling that the ele
gant woman does not coast; neither
does she race. Rapidity of movement
she considers neither conducive to grace
nor as evincing good style. On the
contrary, she sits erect, with elbows
well in, gliding ulong slowly, and with
so little motion that the loss of dignity
is not thought of in her connection. She
does not wear skirts so short as to at
tract attention when she dismounts.
In fact, in everything connected with
the wheel her movements are so quiet
and unobtrusive as to excite the admi
ration of the onlooker instead of the
derision so frequently recorded. “Re
pose is always elegance,” and rapidity
on the wheel is quite the reverse.—
