THE ONLY WAY Many Richmond Citizens Have Dis covered It. Just what to do when the:, kidneys are affected, is a question that con cerns both young and old. Weak kid neys neglected1 in childhood lead to life-long suffering. People of advanced years, with less vitality, suffer doubly. In youth or age, languor, backache, urinary irregularity, dizzi ness and nervousness make nte a burden. There is one remedy that acts di rectly on the kidneys and cures these troubles. Doan's Kidney Pills owe their world'wide fame to the fact that they cure sick kidneys and cure them permanently. Follow the example of this Richmond citizen and you will be convinced that this is so. Mrs. James Henry Brokamp, 62 Sherman street, Richmond, Ind., says: 'Doan's Kidney Pills have been used in my family off and on for at least six years and they have brought such Kood results that we always keep a supply on hand. Whenever an attack of backache or any other symptom of kidney complaint appears, Doan's Kidney Pills are used and they never fail to bring relief. I have no hesita tion in recommending this remedy."

New York, May 3.Twenty-slx rep resentatives, members of a special congressional committee, sent to Pan ama by President Taft to report on the progress of the work on the canal, arrived in New York Sunday on the Panama. Representative J. A. Goulden, of the Bronx, chairman of the committee, said that with a few excep tions all the members had been agree ably surprised with the progress of the work. "Many of us were of the opiniou when we left for the canal on April 14. that the sea level plan was more desirable than the lock project," said Mr. Goulden. "A week's study of the conditions. nowever, cnangea our opinions, and we are to report that the plan decided upon by President Taft is the greater of the two. Good Assurances. "Every assurance was given to us by the engineers in the canal zone that the' foundations y of the Gatum dam would prove more than strong enough to hold the load. These foundations are at a depth of ISO feet, and in some places more than that. Estimates by our experts show that to change the plan of construction from the lock to the sea level would entail an addition al cost of $200,000,000. Also, it would delay the completion of the canal for ten years beyond the date now set by the engineers for the work to be fin ished. The canal will be completed Inside of five years, we believe." Representative H. F. Conroy, of New York, said that the principal ob jection to the sea level plan was the action of the tide. ( Height of Tide. 'The tide rises to a height of 20 feet on the Pacific side of the isthmus," he said, "while the rise on the opposite side is several feet less and at different times of day and night. I was a strong supporter of the sea level scheme .until these facts were made clear to me by personal investigation These conditions were convincing in my mind, and I now believe also that there is no reason for fear from the Gatum dam."

At a special meeting of the board nf directors of the Richmond Loan and Saving association, held at the office of the association, on the evening of Friday, April 30th, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimous ly adopted: Whereas, Almighty God, in His in finite wisdom, has seen fit to remove from our midst our honored and wor thy fellow-member. Theodore R Woodhurst, and Whereas, The pleasant and intimate relations which for twenty-one years he has held with this board as a fel low director and as president of this association, make it eminently fitting that we should place upon record our feelings of appreciation of his services and regret for his loss, therefore be it Resolved, That this board of direc tors will ever hold In grateful remem brance the sterling business qualities the patience, integrity and clear-sight edness displayed for many years by our late fellow-member, Theodore R Woodhurst, in the work' of this board, Resolved, That the sudden removal by the death of our esteemed fellow citizen from the position which he held as a director and as president of this association, creates a vacancy not eas ily filled, and that his fellow-members fully realize and deeply deplore the loss occasioned to themselves and to the public at large. Resolver, That we hereby extend our deepest sympathy to the bereaved relatives and friends of the deceased, hoping that even in the sadness of their affliction they may yet find some consolation in knowing that the worth of his private qualities and the value of his public services are properly, ap preciated. Resolved, That a copy of these res olutions be properly engrossed and sent to the family of our deceased fel low-member, and that the resolutions bealso published in each of the daily papers of this city.

The life of the staves of the wooden silo may be considerably lengthened If they are given a liberal painting with a coat of hot coal tar. Minnesota bens last year produced eggs which were valued at $15,973,608, while the value of dressed poul try marketed during the seme period reached a total of $11,908,000. The hen census places the total num ber of these useful fowls st present in the United 8tates at 230,000,000. The total number of eggs laid enables every person in the country to have 200 eggs in the year for breakfast It Is worth while sowing clover with small grain, even if It is to be plowed under the same fall. The benefits derived from growing the legume is. however, greatly increased if it is al lowed to grow the second season, the first crop being made Into bay and the second plowed under as a fertilizer for the next year's crop. Thrif tineas In any flower or vege table Is usually Increased by trim ming back tops and roots at the time of the several transplants gs. This gives a stalkines8 and vigor that cannot be secured In any other , way. and. while the plant may seem' to make slow progress with such treatment. It makes up for It many times when set in its permanent place. The dairyman who has tuberculosis in his herd, knows it snd postpones remedial action is simply putting off the evil day, for the trouble Is bound to go from bad to worse, entailing the loss of many of the best animals and heavy expense In replacing them. Thus, viewed merely from the standpoint of dollars and cents, it Is expedient to weed tuberculosis out of the herd the earliest possible. Many of these who are acquainted with the irrigated fruit growing sec tions of the Pacific coast are of the opinion that Imperial valley, in the extreme southern portion of Califor nia, has promise of being one of the greatest fruit growing sections in the country. While there Is quite Intense beat during the summer months, the nights are cooL and other climatic con ditions favorable to a perfect fruit de velopment exist If this is the case it wnl become a strong rival of the fa mous Hood river apple growing sec tion. Among many methods which have been suggested for the eradication "of that worst of all weed pests, quack grass. Is that of fencing off portions of the infested area and turning hogs into it with no rings in the nose. It Is claimed that hogs are very fond of the rather fleshy roots of the grass and will keep at work at the rooting busi ness until all the grass Is killed out While the plan might not be success ful or practicable over large areas, it Is at least worth a trial by those who have the quack grass problem on their hands. ' " ,v. - , .. The Minnesota legislature has lately passed a law placing a bounty on crows and blackbirds. While there is not much .that can be said for the crow, the blackbird is viewed by the biological survey, which has exam ined carefully into its diet and hab its, as economically useful to the farm er. The red winged blackbird is the most useful member of the blackbird family, being a great feeder on the caterpillars ef the gypsy and brown tail moths and also including In Its bill of fare the cankerworm, weevils. click beetles and wire worms. When the reads are mellow after the spring thaw and before they bake is the proper time for going over the highways and smoothing them down with the road drag. Two or three times over will scrape off the ridges. fill up the ruts and foot holes and put the roads in fine, smooth condition, m that they will easily shed the heavy spring rain and mire up less easily during the rest of the season. There Is no time during the whole season when so much can be done for the public highways at so little cost as In the early spring days, when they take their shape easily for the whole season. The state of Florida la now engaged in the extensive undertaking of drain lng the Everglades, a work that made possible by the fact that the area Is of a slightly higher elevation than the sea, being confined by a narrow rim of terra firm a, which has to be cut at gtven places to mske the drainage of the wet lands possible. Small areas nave been reclaimed dur ing the past few years and are produc lnar fine crops of garden truck. The larger areas being redeemed total 8,000,000 acres, which, with others ca pable of reclamation, will doubtless be devoted to the growing of citrus fruits and garden vegetables. Many a young orchard has , been damaged badly the past winter by rabbits as a result of exceptionally heavy snows, which covered up other sources of their food supply, together with the wrappings of the trunks, and gave the posts access to the unprotected trunks and limbs, resulting in serious mutilation or where the trunk was badly girdled the destruction of the tree. The small boy and the gun are usually a combination that results in more harm than good when bird life Is concerned, but ft does not hold good when It comes to rabbits. There are many sections of the country which would be entirely overrun not an active warfare waged against the rodents throughout the fan and winter months, and even where this has been most vigorous there seems to be no likelihood that the species gome; to he completely exterminated.

The owner of a large turkey ranch in North Carolina who Is also an extensive tobacco grower Is authority for the statement that a flock of from twenty-five to fifty turkeys win keep a tobacco field almost entirely free from the worms that do them so much damage. Those Uvfag la sections where al falfa can be successfully raised or are on what might be called the border line and would like full Information about the plants. Its habits and how to grow It successfully should write to the department at Washington for bulletin No. 339. which la devoted to this subject. This spring there are being sowed ia several of the northern states small quantities of the Daubaey oat, which Is white with strong, medium coarse straw and which for several years past has proved one of the heaviest yielding varieties in Ontario, Professor Zavitx of the Ontario station reporting a yield of ninety-two bushels per acre with it The chap who will pay $25 for a scrub sire to bead his herd of scrubs is a first cousin to the fellow who doesn't believe in testing his seed be cause it takes too much time or will not pay a fair price for seed which his neighbor has tested. There Is no use trying to talk "better farming" to this kind until some sort of cyclone ha hit 'em and waked them up. The milk cow should be given one pound ef a grain ration per day for each three and a half pounds of milk which she gives, and to be balanced the ration should consist of about equal parts of bran or gluten meal and corn chop or meal, with thirty pounds of silage and ten pounds of clover bay added. Where alfalfa hay or meal is available It may be substituted for the gluten meal and bran. Of the several conditions which af fect the growing of a crop seed qua! Ity, physical condition of soil, light heat moisture snd available plant food in the soil the last which is largely under the control of the owner of the land and should receive most atten tion, is usually given the lesst Im provement in the type of agriculture at present followed In this country depends upon a reform in this matter -of attention to soil fertility. Agricultural bankruptcy is the alternative. A 'committee of public spirited wo men in a little town we read of the other day are going to see what they can accomplish In the way of municipal Improvement by offering several substantial cash prizes for the back yards within the city limits that present the neatest appearance during the coming season. The plan Is to be commended in every way and should be generally adopted, as it will do more along the line of making a neat town than could be accomplished by passing all kinds of ordinances. If any man woukl make an investment for his, children to reap the benefit from, tweaty-five or thirty years hence he could hardly do better than to plant a ten acre tract to cottonwood trees. If they were given good care at the start and stock kept out during the whole period they would give a lumber yield at the end of the period mentioned that would be surprising. With lumber prices advancing as rapidly as they sre, a timber lot of saw logs will be a veritable gold mine a few years hence, when any kind of a stick wUl bo called lumber and will fetch high prices. In the nmj mi. ef potatoes the bordeaux mixture should be msde up. according to the 1-1-10 recipe, of cop per sulphate, lime snd water ox even stronger. This should be applied with parts green added' if the bugs have appeared when the vines sre about six or eight inches high and should be repeated at intervals of ten or fifteen days until growth of vines stops. For large fields it will be found both economical and advantageous in the spraying work to use a special potato sprayer which is so arranged that from four to six rows may be sprayed at once and a large area covered in s short time. Some one has figured out that on the basis of an average annual rainfall of thirty Inches a year the 'total amount of fresh water of the country Is 215, 000,000.000,000 cubic feet Of thit enormous volume It Is estimated that one-half is evaporated, a third flow into the sea through streams large and small, while the remaining sixth Is consumed by living beings or absorbed into the earth. Of the volume of wa ter in flowing streams only 5 per cent is utilised for power. The remaining 30,000,000 horsepower, if utilized, would be sufficient to furnish all the power needed for every purpose what soever in every town and city in the country. This Is one of the great nat ural resources which are very little used and where used are too often monopoliaed for the benefit of the few. One important advantage of the cul tivatlon of an Intensive crop like beets or beans Use in the excellent condition in which the soil Is left for some succeeding crop, it usually being In fine tilth and very free from weed seeds. .

It has been estimated that if the country roads were In the best possible condition one-tenth of the 16,000,000 horses and mules now used in doing farm work could be dispensed with. At $50 a head this portion represents an Investment of $80,000,000, while it Is safe to say that the cost of their feed would be as much more annually. Health Commissioner Darlington of New York city has offered two cows of choice breeding as prises for the best two essays on "How Clean and Wholesome Milk May Be Provided at Least Cost For the New York Market." The competition Is open to sll farmers in New York or adjoining states who are at present engaged in supplying milk for New York city. The competition closes June IS. Mr. Darlington's Idea would seem to be excellent snd will doubtless result not only In profit to the dairymen of the territory mentioned, but In a more wholesome milk product for the consumers of New York city. " Last spring experiments were tried in portions of the national forest reserves In several western states to the mstter of poisoning prairie dogs, snd they seem to have mot with a large measure of success.

The poisoned wheat was carried to the field of operation and there distributed among the men who do the Job on horseback. About a tea spoon fnl was dropped near the entrance to the holes, a little experience enabling the rider to drop the wheat accurately with his horse on a trot. The action of the poison seems S) be almost instantaneous, meet of the dogs in a village being dead within an hour alter the poison was put out. The early spring was found to be the most successful season for the work, a there Is no grass then on which the dogs may feed, and they are very hungry and eat the belt greedily.

The situation in this entire republic Is seriously disturbed. While the anti-foreign feeling; exists all over the republic It Is par ticularly acute against Americans at San Pedro, who sent Colonel WlHIamt F. Coleman, a wealthy and prominent American to appeal to Command er Shipley, of the Des Moines, to make a personal Investigation, and do something to avert an outbreak. Cruiser Sailed Away. . Colonel Coleman laid the facts before Commandant Shipley, and be promised to go to San Pedro, but the next day he received sailing orders, and the Des Moines left for O nan tanamo. The Americans aro . very much distressed at this because at this critical period the presence of an American warship In these waters Is urgently needed. The trouble at San Pedro has grown out of 'the enterprise of the Americans in capturing all the trade there. Two disastrous fires have occurred there lately, destroying the business houses of both Americans and natives. Americans Protected. , The Americans were protected by insurance, but the natives were not and the fact that -the Americans were thus enabled to recoup their business aroused intense jealoulsy and bitter feeling. C Shultz, an American, was accused of arson Immediately after the last fire, but wss acquitted.
