A lady in Oakville has been con- ducting some intercsting experiments with potatoes. The vear before last she discovered a large potato weigh- ingen pound, which boasted 123 good eyes out and plantéd them in straw berry quart baskets, keeping watch | over them. In the spring time these were planted, being. enough to make five hls, which when cultivated, brought forth enough seed to plant 26 hills this spring.- The 26 hills? finally produced 208 potatoes, weigh- ing 06 pounds, New Manure Spreader. A new maunure-sower, which ig ac tudted by the drill plough, as it opens up the drills for a green crop, is not- €d in the "Scottish Farmer." It con- sietg of a hopper fixed in the bosom of the plough, and 'the operating mechanism is an arrangemefit of a spin wheel and convoluted set of 1-2 inch rods, which delivered the maon- ure most evenly at the bottom of the duifl as the plough proceeded. The driving wireal is also a marker wheel Which can be easily lifted cover the plough, and so losing touch of the ground stops the movement. A woman filled the manure into a box ~in each plough as it turned at the end, and the dropping of the mark- er 'wheel started the sowing, tige ev- enness of which left nothing to be desired. Enough manure could be carpled at\ one filling t 350 yards long at the rate 1,120 Ibs per acre Where less per acre js| sown a proporticnately longer drill cogld be sown." It has met with the! approval of @ farge number of farm-' ©8512 bounds of milk and only 202 Id to ers who examined it. It does work performed 2€° present by tiirnip barrow, 'which 'sometimes has a difficulty in keeping the seed out of the manure. If this invention is suc- cessful it will overcome that culty; but it will still be nece Yi to sow some of the guickly-acting manure closs to the seed so as to start it off rapidly. a the Co-operative Marketing. i As the co-operative marketing of live stock is gaining favor in many! parts of the United States, the fol-| lowing notes on the method of pro-| cedure from the pen of W.

EATING MEAT FOR © A y JF YOUR BLADDER N WWBLING YOU, When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region, it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well- knowit Buthority. Meat forms uric acid W overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you mast relieve them, like you relieve your howels; removing all the body's urinous Ww .@lse you have back. AIok rosdashe, dizdy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coat- ed, and when the weather is bad you have atic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to' seek relief two three tings duriog the night. Either consult a good, reliable physiciafi at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the #cid 5f grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending blad- der weakness. 5 Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat, éaters.
