Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kid- Dey pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and . Dolsons from the blood, then you \- get sick. Nearly all rhenmatism headaches, liver trouble, nervous ness, comstipation, diziness, sleep- legsness, bladder: disorders come from sluggish kidueys. The moment you feel a dull ache "in the peys or your back hurts, or if the wrine in cloudy, offensive, full of sedim irregular of pass- age or alten by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and got ot ounees of Jad Salts from any pharmacy. take a table- spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, and in a few days vour kidneys will act fine. THis famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lith- ia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys: also to neutralize the acids in urine %0 it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.

Again it is found that twenty-two cows averaged 1,197 pounds of milk in a month, while another lot. of twenty-two averaged only 545 pounds of milk. Cows that are kept as dairy cows, fed and bred for production of milk and fat, are proved by their records. Even from amongst those so kept, selection is necessary, otherwise the herd will fall off in its average. But the in- dividual record, so easily kept, will point deflnitely to those which are worth keeping. The value of a pure bred dairy sire is also revealed: when comparing herds. One herd of fourteen cows gave 306 pounds of fat in a month. In an adjoining herd of fourteen, where cow testing has been carried on for four years and where the sire is pure bred, the yield was 556 pounds of. fat, in other words the in- come was seventy-five dollars more for that one month. ------ . Keeping Milking Utensils Clean The milk utensils should be rinsed out each time after using with cold water before going through the regu- lar washing process. Then wash in the usual manner with a brush in- stead of a rag. The brush will be found more effective for removing dirt and grime than a rag, as the brush gets into all corners. Then white beans has. been the cause of of many - farmers growing. It is a mistake to imagine any soil will grow a good crop of beans or anything else unless it is in a good state of productiveness. From our own experiencé we are convinced that beans are one of the best cash or market crops that a farmer can grow for they are a cash crop' that will always bring a fair price and find ready for sale in all sections of the country. They are an easy crop on the soil and beans, wheat and clover and make one of the best and most profit- able rotations than can be planned limited amount of manure is avail- able, x Notes .of Interest Producing clean milk pays from a health standpoint, also from a financial standpoint, as clean milk will always bring from two or three cents more per quart than unclean milk will. It is more easy to produce clean milk if clean habits are formed and common sense uses, and a little pains taken: Sedttish convicts at the peniten- tiary at Perth are harnessed to a plough instead of horses. The pris- oners are fond of the opportunity of having open-air work, and so four- teen or fifteen convicts are attached to each plough; there is no charge of overwork. They aré seen at work by the public at the Glasgow centre, nol only after one is used to using the brush Lit will be found that it requires less | | work to keep the milk utensils clean | jand sweet. Another important rea- | {son for using the brush is that it! will" not collect bacteria as a rag! will. After the milking utensils have | been washed and scalded place in the sunshine, N ™N, How to Send -- er net Eggs to Market J rovide clean, dry hay or straw or | | #~suitable material for the nests, re- | new the material frequently and all ways when it becomes wet or soiled. Collect oggs every day shortly be- | fore noon, or preferably at noon and at dusk. It is espeeially advisable when hens are broody to collect twice daily. « On no account should eggs which have been found by chance in nests | {in the open during harvest time or | any other time be mixed with those intended for market. Any such eggs which are not fit for consumption should be used at home, Any dirt on the egg when it is collected should he removed by jmeans of a dry c¢loth, or if that | method fails a slightly dampened, | but not a wet cloth, should be used. in water, nor use any chemical to re- move the dirt, Butter Troubles One of the troubles most common- {ly met with in butter-making during | the winter months is what is known 'as "sleepy" cream, and one frequent- | hears of cream being churned for i hours before yielding up its butter. | The following are some of the prin- {cipal causes for this abnormal con- | dition of cream: | (1) Churning at too low a tem- perature... The cream in this case simply thickens and clings. to the "sides of the churn and so fails to get the concussion _necessary to cause the butter globules in the cream to adhere together and forin butter, 'The churner will notice that the | cveam falls to drop with each revolu- | tion of the churn. This shows that | the cream is "asleep" and that the ' process of churning the cream into butter is not progressing at all.| The remedy is to stop churning and add water of a suitable temperature, then resume churning and see that the Gream drops with each turn of the churn; matters should then progress salisfactorily. (2) Cream which is improperly ripened, or which is over-thick or fvo thin. During the winter months | ream is often kept at a low temper- ature. Acidification is therefore very slow, and the normal ripening pro. cess is pot accomplished. Cream should always be regulated to a pro- per consistency when put in the { churn. | (3) Failure to ventilate in the early stages of churning causes a col- lection of carbonic acid gas and the cream swelis and does nol get pro- per concussion. Addition of water f suitable temperature and ventilation on resuming churning will generally remedy matters, but it must be noted that the cream "drops" each time the churn is turn- ed. | (4) Feeding has also a certain effect, especially if much straw is used, ahd cream from milk of which have been a long time in milk is usually hard to churn, the fat globules in the cream being small. If the trouble is caused by feeding it is a good plan to scald the cream 160 degrees F., cool down and ripen by the use of starter. It is well to have a couple of newly-calved cows together with those which have been in milk a long time, this will remedy the diffienlty in churning. ---- Rauge for Fattening Turkeys Turkeys should have free range while being fattened for market. We used to fatten the turkeys in small enclosures, but discontinued this several years ago because they did not seem to thrive well. After the first few days they would | begin to lose their appetites no mat- ter how great a variety of food was given. The whole trouble was luck of ex- ercise. If turkeys cannot get plenty of evercise they cannot have a good appetite, and of course will not gain in weight. a Beans Are a Profitable Crop The old-fashioned saying that land pai [oh and rather like seeing the people than otherwise, To finish cattle well is one of the! objects of the feeder, und oatmeal | has 'a great reputation in this way. It is sald to impart that hardness of | touch to the flesh which the butcher likes. The best merely to dampen it and roll it into balls, allowing the animal to partake | of it at leisure. : Don't go to hankering for more land than you can take care of well. | Too big a bite of even the best meat makes hard chewing and even harder swallowing, The experience of most poultry raisers is that hens will every time take to a dark nest rather than one exposed to the light. A. hen will seek the bottom of a manger, digging her way down through the rather than use a ready-made nest in plain sight.

I'be mercenary army' is composed of insects the very exist- ence of which is dependent upon their cunning {effectiveness as mothslayers. The lives of these minute warriors are consecrated to slaughter, and so well ure thay -thriviny at their sanguine task that, as far as the moths are con. gerned, New England to-day is a ambles. Last summer, in some re- gions, their yumbers were reduced one- half by the mercenary invaders, This year's warfare is expected to result in more extensive destruction. . The gov. ernment scientists who have engineer- ed this most tremendous of all insect Wars are the moths will be under control. There may thereajter be occasional sporadic outbreaks of them, but they will 'no longer be a menace and a terror. No other nation has ever gathered an army of alien insects to protect 'its fields and forests. by -------- Tt is far better to marry for riches than for a chance to get even, Might may not make right, but. it frequently succeeds in making good.

Notes About Plays, Players and houses. Cyril Maude, although aprpoach: Ing the end br his season at Wal: lack's, New York, in "Grumpy," is | stil playing te a capacity business. Margaret Anglin has scored one of the season's sccesses in "Lady Win- ,dermere's Faw" at the Hudson thea- tre. Since the opening perforni- ance, the house has been practically sold out at every performance. As ; Miss Anglin was only contracted for | four weeks at the Hudson, and on ac- | {count of previous booking arrange- | ments, the popular Canadian star and her splendid company were transferred to the Liberty theatre, New York, on Easter Monday, "The . Truth," by . Clyde Fitch, which Mr. Ames presented at the Little theatre, New York, April 14, has probably been translated into more languages than any other Am- erican play. "The Truth' has been given in Practically every country of ; Europe, and there are versions of it in German, French, Italian, Norwe- glan, Danish and Swedish. . At last "Uncle Remus" has been dramatized, and by an Englishman: and the resulting play is nearly ready for production in London. Mr. Man and" Miss Meadows "and de gals," dressed in the crinolines of the sixties, provide the human ele-* { ment the piece and Cecil Sharp has adapted negro folk-songs for it. Julia Dean, an actress who has not yet had a rele in which io display fully her ability, will be. seen next season in a play specially written for her by George Broadhurst. There Is no emotional actress of the day who possesses greater promise than Miss Dean, who was seen here first in "The Lily" and this season in "Her Own Money." GUARD THE FIRES Cautions for Campers in the Forest Is Given Forest fires aré caused, in only too inany instances, by campers and tour. .igts who leave their fires unguarded or are in other ways careless about their fires. Many of these holiday makers in the woods would be the wilfully destroy timber in this way, but yet a luck of care on the part of some has often had a most lementable re salt, Occasonally what seem cases of ap- parently wanton carelessness are met with. A flagrant instance of such neglect was shown some time ago by a party of seventeen campers | from Hamilton, Ohio, in the Tima- gnmi (Ootario) forest reserve, which broke camp ome morning leaving ite a large fire burning. The camp- in their special car, however, were stopped at North Bav, and not allowed to'proceed on thir journey until they had paid the expenses of extinguishing that fire as well as those of their own detention. Such cases are, fortunately, rare. Attention to a few points may save much loss from ths cause. No match, cigar-end or other burning object should ever bo" thrown. down in the forest uhtll Wofally extinguished Cnnip fives should not 'be larger than is necessary and should not be Inft, oven for "a short time, unthl ane ia perfectly sure' that they are "dead 'omt."
