Kidney trouble has

that it is not uncom

weak kidneys. If the

age when it should be able to control the

step should be towards the treatment of
these importantorgans. Thisunpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a
habit as most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made miser

$40,000.000. He Is supposed to have

THE SUPREME POWER.
The bank power is the suprema
power in this so-called Republic.
Grover Cleveland said fifteen years ago
that the banks had power to wreck the
Gove ent in forty eight hours, and
e wh in a position to know. The
merchants tremble before the banks.
The whole horde of speculators who
seek profits and gains by means other
than honeat old hard work live in con
stant fear that the banks may slip a
cog and all their plans be "pied." The
farmers-the class on whom all earth.
ly hopes depend-do not know when
they ptlt the cotton seed in the ground
whether the crop, after all the year's
hard labor for themselves and their
families, will be worth thirteen cents
or ten cents or seven cents, because
they do not know what the bank power
may decide to do. And as for the press,
whether Democratic or Republican, it
is simply a megaphone for the banks.
The newspapers of the popular schools
of politics pretend to scrap over many
other matters, but when it comes to
backing up and sustaining a Federal
administration in any move that is ac
ceptable to the banks, no matter by
what party that administration was
placed in power, those newspapers are
all one in cheering the administration.
The National bank power is the su
preme power on this continent. The
banks want interest, not only on their
own money, but on yours and your
neighbor's. It is for interest-un
earned increment-that they live and
operate. The 'people's Government
(so-called) has surrendered to the
banks the most vital function of Gov
ernment, namely: that of issuing
money, and theg .have the power,
whenever it suits their purpose, .to
make money scarce, throw labor out
of employment, destroy the market for
your products and starve you and your
neighbor.
Think abont it!-Farmers'Union.
There are bad roads where there
are no split log drags.
Get on good terms with the birds;
they are your best friends.
Get busy getting ready for next year.
It is the ready man who gets all the
plurns.
Take a day off to fight the imple
ment and vehicle trust by painting up
your vehicles and farming tools.
You owe it to yourself to do all and
to be all that is in you. Are you
measuring up to your responsibility.
It is about time to say again that
those in the boll weevil districts
should have a big burningof all trash.
Most of the people in this country
who are too busy talking about hard
times have simply read about it in the
papers.
The farmer who is trying to be a
Union man and is not keeping a few
stands of bees is making a sort of a
failure. Fact!
There never has been enough good
eggs to flood the market, and most any
sort of an old hen is willing to swap
eggs for good feeding.
The main issue this year is a good
crop of such a variety that there will
be something to the credit side of the
ledger when the year is gone.
The potential enemies of the vehicle
trust that is getting the best of the
farmer are the good shed and a bucket
of very oily paint. Use both very
freely. _________
Get ready to raise plenty of fruit and
tomatoes. You can put up all you
can't sell green, and the market Is not
half supplied with stuff that is good.
Reports of full bags of birds are al
most daily heard on the streets and.
in the mantime the farmer must some
up smiling next year in his fight
against the boll weevil.
The man who correctly foretells the
day on which cotton will reach 15
cents will eclipse any of the great
number who lay claim to fixing the
date on which Galveston was storm
swept.
The Santa Fe Railway 1s planting
trees to raise cross ties for future use.
If they have figured out this as a good
investment, how much better it is for
you to "plant a tree every time you
have a chance."
Encourage tne building of the fac
tory. Every time yuu take a man out
of the field and put him into a factory,
you take away one of your competi
tors, get a new customer and add a
competto'r to your buying market
three mpst admirable things.
Get togeier and see what your im
mediate neighborhood can do in the
way of co-operative buyiag of seed,
planting of crops and marketing the
ame. The competition one has to
meet now demands this.
The first step toward the real ele
ration of the public school'is the build
Ing of good roads. This is a purely lo
cal matter. iMake the roads good and
you can consolidate the adjiacent
schols and raise the grade at once
and can have better teachers and bet
er houses. ____

BRACING CORNER POSTS.
How It Can Be Effectively Done at
Small Cost.
This method, while cheaply devised,
is used very effectively in bracing cor
ner posts. Use as a brace a pole nine
or ten feet long, four or five inches
in diameter and square at both ends.
Fit one end of pole to the post half
way between its middle and top and
place other end of brace on a fiat
stone. Secure one end of a wire
around bottom of post, then take it to
Way Bracing Ia Done.
outer end of brace and back to post
again, fastening securely. With a
short stout stick twist wires together
until very tight and your brace is
complete, says Farmers' Review. This
brace comes in line with your fence
and by fastening your wire or boads
to it prevents it from slipping side
ways.

APPLICATION OF MANURE.
Getiton heLand as Soon a. Pos.
Get It n the ible.
In order to reduce the loss in ma
nure to a minimum, and also to econo
mize in handling it, the general aim
and practice should be to haul it di
rectly from the stable to the field and
spread it at once. On the average farm
the following of this practice all
through the year would result in less
loss than any method that could be
pursued.
The use of rotted manure rather:
than fresh manure is desirable in con-*
nection with many market garden or
vegetable crops, as it gives quicker
Iresults and with root crops will give
a smoother and nicer product. =
Manure should be spread as soon as
it is hauled to the field. The practice
of putting it in piles is objectionable
because of the loss that is likely to oc
cur. The placing in piles also involves
additional labor.
The manner of spreading will de
pend upon local conditions, but where
the distance to haul is relatively short
and it is desired to have it evenly I
spread the manure spreaders will be
found serviceable machines.
From ten to twenty tons of manure,
per acre is usually considered a fair'
application; but considerably more is
frequently applied for market garden
crops. Experiments have shown that
generally it would be far more profit
able to use about one-half the usual
quantities and to supplement it with
commercial fartili-rs.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Protect the meadows when they are
soft. Tramping injures them.
Manure of all kinds should be well
protected during bad weather. If
it has been carefully kept under cover
and properly applied, It will show its
effect almost Immediately; but If It
has been leached by heavy rains and
exposed to drying winds and the sun's
rays, it will not be so valuable.
Give the boy two or three acres of
ground to farm this year. Allow him
to send to the state agricultural col
lege for some seed corn aifd assist him
in preparing the grodnd and plant
ing this seed. The work will be good
for him, the Information obtained will
be invaluable and the profits will be
ample for him to provide his own
clothes for the coming year.
As a measure of economy, plan to
grow plenty of vegetables for the fam
ly table throughout the year-pota
toes, peas, beans, beets, sugar corn.
tomatoes, onions, cabbage, etc. Study
out a good truck patch now, and work
It for all it Is worth. Buy seed now fI
need be. Also grow plenty of roots
for the cows, horses, sheep, and poul
try and save buying bran. It is the
buying of food things that keeps some
farmers poor.
Up Before The Bar.
N. H. Brown. an attorney, of Pitts
field, Vt., writes: "We have used Dr.
King's New life Pills for years and
find them such a good family medicine
we wouldn't be without them." F.:r
Chilis, Constipation . Billiousness or sick
Headache they work wonders. 25c at all
Druggists.
Fertilizers Pay.
No farmer should lose sight of the
fact that all fertilizers have great
value, and not a pound of fertilizer
should be allowed to go to waste. On
general principles a farmer should be
always working Into his soil the mate
rials that will make plant food. An
abundance cf plant food Is required In
the soil, if farming is to be carried on
profitably. It should be remembered
that every particle of vegetable mat
ter makes fertility when it decays, and
should be worked into the soil The
nonappreciation of this fact leads to
the loss of large quantities of barn
yard manure, which is allowed to gp
to waste In various ways.
