    Why That Lame Back?
Morning lameness, sharp twinges
when stooping, or a dull, all-day back
ache: each is cause enough to suspect
kidney trouble. Get after the cause.
Help the kidneys. We Americans over
do, overeat and neglect our sleep and
i exercise, and so we are becoming a na
F tion of kidney sufferers. 72% more
deaths from kidnev disease than in
1890, is the story told by the 1910 cen
sus. If annoyed with a hud hack and
irregular kidney action, modify the
bad habits and use Doan's Kidney Pills.

NOT A MATTER OF PIETY
Brother Jones Had His Own Reasons
for His Close Perusal of the
Scriptures.
The parson of a small country
church was rambling along the road
when it suddenly occurred to him to
call on a citizen named Jones, who
was known to be rather indifferent
about church attendance. The place
was soon reached, and entering the
^garden gate the pastor was surprised
to see Jones sitting on the veranda
with a large Biol ' in his hands.
"Ah. Brother Jones," said the par
son with a smile of satisfaction. ”1
am glad to see you so attentively
perusing your Bible.”
"Yes,” responded Jones. "There
are times when it comes in mighty
handy.”
"Perhaps I might be able to help
you." generously volunteered the
dominie. "\Vere you looking for any
particular passage? ’
“No,” was the startling reply of
Jones. "Twins have just come to our
house, and mother asked me if 1
wouldn't look up a couple o’ names
for 'em.”

Very Absent-Minded.
In Berlin they tell the story of a
very learned and also absent-minded
professor who Returned to his room
late one night, and as he was light

noise. He promptly called out:
"Is there anyone here?”
A thief lay concealed under the bed
Hearing the question, and knowing the
professor s failing, he shouted in reply.
•No!"
Then the professor exclaimed in
much surprise: 'That’s exceedingly
strange! I was positive someone was
under the bed." Then he retired to

Many Positions
Carrying Large Salaries
are open today to men in every walk of life. But the
men must possess vigorous bodies and keen, active
minds.
Success-making mental and physical activity relies
largely upon right living wherein the right kind of food
plays a most vital part
In many cases the daily diet lacks certain of Nature’s
elements essential to energizing and upbuilding the
mental and physical faculties. Most white flour prod"
ucts, such as white bread and many other commonly
used foods, are in that class.
A food especially designed to offset this lack—
Grape-Nuts
—made of wheat and malted barley, supplies all the
nutriment of the grains, including the mineral salts—
sturdy builders of brain, nerve and muscle.
Grape-Nuts is thoroughly processed, ready to serve
from the package, fresh, crisp and delicious. Then, too,
there’s a wonderful return of the power to “do” and to
“be” fqr the small energy required in its digestion.
After repeated set-backs thousands have found a
change to right eating means forging ahead.

THREE PRIME ESSENTIALS IN HOG RAISING
First Prize Small Yorkshires.
(By S. C. MILLER.)
There are three essentials for
health, thrift, and gain to be con
sidered in the management of hogs, in
order *o obtain the best results; these
are clean food, pure water, and dry,
comfortable sleeping places.
The food of the pig should be as
clean as for any other farm animal—
that is, it should not be mixed or
contaminated with any substance that
contains no food value. Dirt and filth
taken into the stomach along with
food, impair digestion and reduce the
gain; they also affect the appetite and
general health of the pig. Then, too,
a considerable part of the food con
sumed is required to develop energy
to separate and expel the indigestible
matter.
It is a law of nature that the excre
ment of all animals is poisonous to
themselves, and while pigs may profit
ably follow cattle, it is of vital im
portance that their food be not con
taminated with their own excrement.
This means that pigs should never be
fed on the ground in a yard or pen
where their own excrement abounds.
Feeding on the meadows or pastures,
moving about from place to place is
a good way in summer. In the winter,
of course, feeding from the cribs is
necessary, and to insure cleanliness
at that time, there should be a feeding
floor which should be cleaned after
every feed.
Over 40 per cent of a fat pig is
water and a reduction of water supply
below the natural requirements, will
reduce the gain just as 3urely as a ]
reduction of food will. Well or spring
water is better than water from ponds
or streams. Standing, or stagnant wa
ter about the barns or lots should
not be tolerated. Pigs should have
clean, pure water always at hand, day
and night: they drink but little at a
time, yet often, and if it is not always
accessible, they will not get as much
as is required for normal development
Anything that can be done to in
crease the comfort of the pigs will, as
a matter of course, add to the gain ant’
profit in feeding.
Good care of pigs means good breed
ing, good feeding, constant watchful
ness. more labor, closer attention tc
little details, and finally, more dollars'
in the pocketbook.
Feed the old and young sows sep
arately, as the old ones may hurt the
younger ones, and they will get more
than they should. The mature sows
are more desirable, but it is always
necessary to grow a few gilts to re
place some of the older ones.
Breeders should prize above all oth
ers those big, growthy, long-bodied,
rather loosely made young sows, no
matter if they have big ears and rath
er coarse heads.
Avoid being a market-chaser, and
sell when the hogs are ready to go;
that is. when they have reached a
condition when it is no longer profit
able to feed them, except for specula
live purposes.
It does not require great ability in
figures to show that there !s a great
deal of waste in selling hogs when
they are only half fed out.
It seldom pays to feed corn to pigs
after they are ready to he marketed.
Corn is not as perishable as fat hogs.
It can be kept until the market ad
vances.
As a general proposition tie pig of
200 to 250 pounds is what every grow
er should aim at. and it is the pig
that pays both killer and feeder bet
ter than any other.
USE OF SPRAY FOR
PROTECTING STOCK
Flies Are Very Troublesome to
Farm Animals, Especially
Nervous Dairy Stock.
Af. this season flics are very trou
blesome and are a source of much
bother among stock, especially the
•tervous dairy cattle. A preventive in
fhe form of a spray should be used,
■"here are a number of methods some
Vimes recommended for this purpose,
some of which are supposed to keep
flies off the animal by virtue of their
bad odors or greasy nature, and some
which are supposed to be sprayed on
to kill the flies. Considerable doubt
exists as to the benefits to be obtained
from using any of these treatments, or
as to the relative value of the different
ways of combating flies.
For spraying the backs of cattle at
milking time, there is possibly noth
ing more reliable than kerosene emul
sion. The following recipe given by
the United S'.ates department of agri
culture is on& of the best ways of mak
ing this: Disrolve one-half pound hard
soap in one gtllon of hot water, and
while still a-" near boiling point add
two gallons ~.f kerosene, and emulsify
by use of a to'ce pump or agitator of
some kind, ftilvte with water, one part
emulsion to eight parts water, and use
is a spray, dip or wash.
SOME DAIRY COWS
ARE HARD TO MILK
One Remedy Recommended Is
to Oi* Teat Freely to Soften
SKin, Then Use Force*
(By R. M. WASHBURN.)
Some cows are naturally bard to
milk; otters are made hard by weak
handed milking. A woman or child
with hards not strong enough for
milking oiuses a cow to become hard
for anyone to milk.
To cure such a cow, oil thr teat
, freely befce starting to milk, so that
the oil will work into and soften the
skin. Th?n milk the cow with as
much force as possible, squeezing
hard. Th‘s treatment will us tally
nure an ordinary hard milker.
Once in a great while it is neces
sary to cut the muscle surrounding
the inside of the teat with a 1-mce
iike knife. This, however, is very
likely to ruin the cow if not done with
great care to avoid cutting too thuch
and causing permanent leakage.
It also makes a sore which is pain
ful to the cow at the time of milk
ing. and if dene when the cow if not
giving milk, the wound grows together
and the muscle becomes tighter than
before.
Don't Lay Many Eggs.
Yearling aad two-year-old hens do
not lay many eggs in the fall, as they
are malting at that time, and the feed
they consume goes not only to keep
up the energy and life of the birds,
but also to put on or grow a new coat
af feathers.
Costly Shipping Crates.
Poor shipping crates are costly
things. Too many broken eggs at the
other end Better pay five cents more
for a good crate than to have half-a
dollar’s-worth of eggs smashed.
GOOD METHODS OF
PRESERVING EGGS
Solution Recommended Is One
Part Water Glass to Ten
Parts of Pure Water.
iBy R. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
There are several good methods of
preserving eggs but the water glass
method is best. Water glass can usual
ly be purchased at a local drug store
for less than $1 a gallon, making the
cost about one cent for each doren
eggs.
The receptacle used should be an
earthenware jar of from five to ten
gallons. The eggs should be placed in
the jar each day, when gathered, as
the fresher the egg the better it will
keep. Care should be exercised to see
that none of thv eggs is cracked, or
the whole jar of eggs may be spoiled
in a short time
The jar should be placed in a coo.
cellar, a piece -Jf oiled paper or some
other water-proof cover should be
placed over to prevent evaporation.
If this is not done, any eggs that ap
pear above the liquid will spoil rap
idly. The eggs should be kept at
least two inches below the surface
of the liquid.
The solution recommended is one
part of water glass to ten parts of
pure water.
ROUGHAGE IS MOT
RELISHED BY HOGS
Doubtful Whether Animals Wil!
Consume Mere Than Grain
and the Softer Parts.
The digestive apparatus of the hog
does not permit it to consume large
quantities of roughage, and corn si
lage does not as a rule prove s> very
satisfactory feed. However, some o!
our readers have fed silage to hogs
and have reported good success, hut
it is doubtful whether the nous will
consume more than the grain and the
softer parts when being properly fed
Silage in some cases proves a de
sirable addition the winter raiirn and
will give good results when fed with
care to brood sows. Legume silage is
to be preferred to corn silage for this
purpose.
Moldy or spoiled silage i3 not good
for any animal and hogs are no ex
ception to tbla rule. If they are being
fed a sufficiency of other feed there
would probably be but little danger in
allowing them to pick over the spoiled
silage.
Colts Must Be Kept Fat.
Draft colts particularly must have
full feeding.' and they must be kept
fat from the first.
Sounc Stable elcors.
To make the stable floors sound and
solid costs far less than to let a hprse
go through and perhaps break a leg
or become lame.
Lambs of High Type.
The first cross of a good, high-class
ram, on a rather inferior lot of ewes,
will bring lambs of much higher type.
Reliable Cow Test.
Signs often fall in the selection of
a cow, but the scales and the Babcock
test can always be relied upon.
NO DOUBT THAT RESINOL
DOES HEAL SICK SKIN!
When you know physicians have
prescribed resinol for 20 years in the
treatment of eczema and other itching,
burning, unsightly skin eruptions, and
have written thousands of reports say
ing: ‘*It is my regular prescription
for itching,” “Resinol has produced
brilliant results,” "The result it gave
was marvelous in one of the worst
cases of eczema,” etc., etc., doesn't it
make you feel that “this is the treat
ment I can rely on for MY skin
tffcuble?” The moment resinol oint
ment touches itching skins, the itch
ing stops and healing begins. Sold by
