Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney and bladder ills. Read the following case: Veteran Joshua Heller, of TOG South Walnut street. Urbaua. 111., says: "In the fall of 1800 after getting Doan's Kidney Pills at Cunningham Bros.' drug store in Champaign and taking a course of treatment 1 told the readers of the paper that they had relieved me of kidney trouble, disposed of a lame back with pain across my loins and beneath the shoulder blades. During the Interval which had elapsed I have had occasion to resort to Doan's Kidney Pills when I noticed warnings of attack. On each and every occasion the results obtained were just as satisfactory as when the pills were first brouirbt to mv notice.

My Iltfle boy knelt at my knee last night Ar.d said the prayer my mother taught mo long ago; Then for awhile was silent, with his head still bowed, And when at last he rose to give the kiss For which I waited, and withdrew his arms, I asked him why he had kept kneeling when His "Now I lay me down to sleep" was done. Grave-faced, he said "In Sunday school they asked The children all. when they have said their prayers, To whisper, asking God, up there, to . bless The little ones in China and to put The lovo of Jesus in their hearts.' If one True, tender little prayer like that were said For mo each night. I'd asic no more, ar.c claim The richest blessing God may gsr.d as mine.

Every farmer strives to get his liny beyond the washing influence of rain as soon as possible. Rain water may dissolve and remove more than ten per cent, of the dry matter of hay, and what is thus removed may represent quite twenty per cent, of the feeding value. Half an inch of rain means some flft.v tons of water per acre, and if the crop be equally spread over the ground, it is, of course, subjected to the whole of the washing influence of this quantity of water. But if the crop be put into cocks that occupy only one tenth of the area, it follows that the hay will h? affected by only one-tenth of the rainfall, that is to say. by five instead of fifty tons of water. Not only does water actually wash out much of the soluble and most valuable constituents of hay, but it also removes the aroma, and leaves the crop much loss appetizing as food for stock. The color, too, suffers, and with it the selling value.?The Cultivator. The Cellar Floor. A damp cellar is an abomination and a menace to health. Cement it yourself; it need cost you only a few dollars for cement. Once experienced, you wouldn't part with this,great comfort and convenience. Smooth the cellar inline tocirt Wit irtiii floor, inclining it slightly toward one side and oue end. if the cellar drain is at one corner. Along this side and end make a shallow rounded trench. Lay from an inch to an inch and a half of cement over the floor, making the open drain at side and end as shown in the cur. Any water that now gets into the cellar is at once carried by the open drain to the outlet drain, and there is no mud "in the cellar.?Farm Journal. Chickens "S Scavonsm. It is always desirable that the kitchen wastes be disposed of effectually. If they are thrown in the hack yard or in heaps at a greater distance from the house they are sure to decay and may be a scarce of troublesome disease. It. therefore, seems the part of wisdom to dispose of such material where it will be deprived of any evil tendency, and converting them into edible meat, either poultry or pis, is an easy solution. My reasons for preferring chickens to pigs are that tliey require less waiting on. are more cleanly, their products more healthful and generally the profit Is larger. The nig is a pood deal of an aristocrat, and must have his servants carry all his food to him, while chickens are not above going where the meal is. Where the housekeeper will not waste time in picking up all thccrumbs from the floor and scraping the dishes absolutely clean, the sweepings and dishwater will carry njany a scrap to the vard. After the chickens once learn where those bits are likely to be they will expect them and clean all up thoroughly without any trouble on your part. This hunting over all parts of the ground anil eating everything that would otherwise be wasted and produce offensive odors, if nothing worse, makes the chicken a valuable ally in the sanitary work of every rural home. And when we consider the diligence and persistence shown in clearing up all waste material, the quiet way in which the work is done, its effectiveness in keeping our premises pure and the profitable returns in the way of eggs and rfioat. we must conclude that our chickens have by nature been endowed with those characteristics that make them very effective scavengers and, therefore, our good friends.?American Stock Keeper. Harvesting Mtukmtloni. One hundred and fifty crates of melons an acre is a fair yield. I find there is some difference of opinion about picking, and it is really necessary to pick them greener when they are to be several days in transit, but I will give you my way of doing it. The first half of the season I pick them as soon as the stems can be forced with the thumb to part from the fruit without breaking out a piece of the melon with it?that is, it must come off 6inooth and not tear or break in the flesh. This condition should prevail before the cantaloupe has begun to turn yellow, but a cantaloupe that is in this condition and just right to ship to-day will be quite yellow and unfit for transportation the next day. After the season is one-half or twothirds gone and the weather is very hot, as is usually the case. I find it safe to cut them off with stems after they arc full grown and have become densely netted. It requires careful help to pick a crop of cantaloupes without considerable losses from picking too green or too ripe. In either case those too ripe or too green should not go In the package. An expert should follow Just behind every fifteen or twenty pickers to see that they are doing their work properly. Wagons should be ready to take the cantaloupes to the packing shed soon after they are brought out to the end of the rows. All handling to be carefully done to jpevept bruising and bursting. When Ktfaey arrive at the ' packing start the packers, mostly women, hurrythem in the crates, which bold forty'five cantaloupes each. No over ripe, too green, very small, verylaqfeior Immature cantaloupes are allowed to go la. It Is ^psrtart tfcfit o&UJoagt itefiW be perfect. One crate well packed, carefully culled and In perfect order is worth three that may be packed out of the same pile by?a careless packer, who will put in a cull or two,.and perhaps pack them loose so the cantaloupes can roll about.?W. II. Allen, in the American Cultivator. A Unique I.amb Trough. The accompanying sketch shows the most practical lamb trough I have ever seen, says a writer in Breeder's Gazette. The idea of this trough is to teach the lambs to feed at an early age. and it prevents them front jumping into the trough. Take two pieces of '}; [ * ?' TEE TROUGH IX PLACE. lumber, say, four by four inches, each six feet in length, allowing two feet to go In the ground; on top of these two timbers is placed n two by six, as seen in the sketch. Suspend two wires from the timber B. fasten to trough as shown, A A, an_ at each end a wire must be fastened. Let the trough hang about one and a half inches from the ground. The lamb Is considered the most curious of domestic animals. It walks up to the trough, puts its nose in the trough, and by so doing the trough will gently swing from the lamb. The latter becomes curious to know what this means, and follows it up. and finally the lamb is freely eating the food placed in the trough for it. This trough has been used with marked success by one of the most extensive feeders in the country. It will be best to use locust wood for outside construction, as it is very durable. The trough can be made any length desired and can be placed in a sheep shed. See'JIng Down the Lawn. Unless a lawn is seeded to grasses that can endure constant mowing, as well as remain green during a dry sea son. it becomes unsightly instead of ornamental. When seeded down in the spring it becomes at times necessary to grow oats, wheat or some grain crop on the lawn, in order to shelter the young grass from the effects of the noonday sun in dry weather. This may he avoided if the seed is sown in the fall. August being a suitable month, at vhieh period of the year the rains are i' stially plentiful, and the young grass Is not then so easily overrun with weeds. Should the grass not make a good '"catch" the ground may again be seeded over in the spring by simply scratching the surface with a rake, but it is seldom that seed sown in August or September fails, if a plentiful supply of seed be used and the ground properly prepared. It is customary to use a mixed seed for lawns, which is proper, hut sometimes too many kinds are used, and the best grasses are crowded out by those not so desirable. Blue grass alone makes an excellent lawn grass, but blue grass and white clover, equal proportions of seed of each, are sufficient, and the seed should be used liberally, four ounces to the square rod not being too much, as some of the seed will fail to germinate, while birds and parasites will destroy a proportion. The lawn pioi snoum ue ursu spuui'u (.or piuwcu, if very large), and raked over until the soil Is made as fine as possible. Lime, at the rate of forty bushels per acre, should be broadcasted over the plot, the ground rolled and the seed sown. The ground may then be simply brushed over, so as to barely cover the seed, or the seed may be sown and rolled down. No other work will be necessary until spring, and the grass will thicken every year. Blue grass is capable of withstanding considerable drought, and though apparently dead, if the drought is continued, it takps new life after the slightest shower. It is not so easilv injured bv trampling as some other grasses, and does not grow in stools, or tussocks, as is the case with orchard grass, while its appearance Is a deep green. White clover is also hardy, and as its leaves d'Yer entirely from those of blue grass, the two kinds answer all the purposes of a lawn, and will thrive well together. The fall is the time to manure the lawn, as the frost will pulverize the manure and render it fine. If fresh manure is applied in the spring it will sometimes do injury, unless before frost disappears. The manure used in spring, if any, should be well rotted. Re-seed all bare places as soon as the grass begins to grow, and in April apply potash In some form liberally, as both blue grass and white clover delight in lime and potash. Do not bo tempted to mow tue grass too eariy 111 i the spring, but give it time to become J well rooteil before the first cutting. J Mowing will then keep down the ' weeds. An application of saltpetre. ' early in the spring, at the rate of a pound per square rod, will also prove ] advantageous. If all the grass seed i usually sown were to germinate there I would be about 2000 plants to the square foot. It takes about 74.000 seeds of timothy to weigh an ounce. Careful experiments have shown that timothy seed covered by two Inches of dirt cannot shoot Into growth. Covered from three-quarters to an inch only about one-half of the good aeeds will come forth. Red clover seed cannot get through two Inches of covering and^other small seeds have even triors diiBculty in'that respect, benc^ ao not cover the seed but lightly.?Philadelphia Record. * " I. .

HE dairy farmers of the y United States are wide O ^ O awake and progressive) esjt A V peeially when their interior csts are concerned. Recently they have been catching the enthusiasm of the good roads movement. The National Dairy Union is one of the greatest farmers' organizations in the country. Its power was shown last year when it secured the passage through Congress of the oleomargarine bill. It looks now as if the union will take up the fight for National aid in road improvement. Secretary Chas. Y. Knight recently expressed himself as follows concerning the Brownlow bill: 'Tn company with hundreds of thousands of other people throughout the United States. I am very much interested in this bill. I have just returned from a tour of Italy, France and England, where I had an opportunity to observe the character of the roads in those countries. Coming home and looking over our miserable facilities for getting around in the rural districts, I made up my mind that it will be necessary for this country to do as European countries linve done in order to pet pood roads, i, o., have Government aid. "The National Dairy Union Is organized throughout the North in every Congressional District which has any amount of agricultural constituency, and I am firmly of the opinion that the progressive farmers who are dairymen will be in favor of the bill for National aid. I am so much interested in its success that I am willing to use my influence to have our dairy farmers petition for the passage of this bill. I would be willing to give several hundred dollars out of my own pocket to see the roads of this country improved like those of France." To many it will doubtless be news to learn that something very similar to the proposed co-operation of State and Nation has been going 011 for many years in the building of Mississippi levees, in a recent report on this subject Colonel Amos Stickney. President of the Mississippi River Commission, said: "The allotment for levees for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1003, was 31.000,000, and the expenditure of a like amount, under contract, is authorized for the ensuing year. "The total amount expended by the United States upon levees from the beginning of that class of work in 1882 to June 30, 1902. is ?1G,5S0,614.17. The total contents of levees along the Mississippi River is now about 170. 000.000 cubic yards, about one-half of which has been placed by the United States. the other half being the work i of State and local boards. The amount of money expended by these organizations is not known. I "There are ordinarily no restrictions placed upon the expenditure of allotments, but all allotments are sometimes determined by the amount of work that local authorities can do in connection with or supplementing Government work to make it more effective. "The funds applied by the State-and by local boards are understood to be derived from speciil taxes authorized by the respective legislatures." Here we have just such a co-operation between the Federi 1 Government on the one hand, the States and local communities on the other, as is proposed in the Brownlow bill, although not carried out under specific act of Congress. Colonel Brlgjliam on Federal Aid. Colonel J. H. Brigham, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, in a recent speech at a good roads convention, said: "I see no reason why the general . Government should not appropriate a I certain sum of money to be expended J in this great work. Of course the ' States, counties and local communities should be expected to co-operate. A little aid from the general Government would be a wonderful encouragement to all the people. "I hear a number of speakers here saying that we must stir up Congress. Now I want to impress you with the Idea that we must first educate the people. When the people are in favor of national aid in building good roads, Congressmen will be in favor of it, and not until then. They are not going ahead of the people. thoca ?rront nnnilljir IT llt'U vur Vi ?.M?.k7v x ?X' movements gets started, it acquires wonderful momentum Once let the good roads movement get thoroughly started and nothing will he able to stop it, or stand before it, till its great work is done. "I see no reason why the general Government should not reach out its strong arm and help the people of this country get better means of communication. I want to see the movement pushed with all the energy that is characteristic of the American people. When we undertake to do anything in this country we do it, and do it welL We have started out fot better roads, and we are going forward on this line till we have aa good roads as can be found anywhere La the world." .
