T, Wold, a well-known citizen here. "I had such pains in iny back that I did not know what to do," says Mr. Wold, "and as I came across an adver­ tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills I sent for a box. That one box relieved me of all my pains. My wife also used them and found them just what she needed. I recommend Dodd's Kidney Piiis as a sure cure for Backache and • other Kidney Troubles." Backache is one of the earliest symptoms of Kidney Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure it promptly and per­ manently and prevent it developing into Rheumatism, Dropsy, Diabetes or Bright's Disease.

G. Moore, after an inspec­ tion of Wisconsin .creameries, says: The methqds of making butter are by no means uniform. Some butter- makers have success with high tem­ perature in ripening; others with low temperature. The conditions at each creamery have to determine for the buttermaker what plan he will pursue to get the best results, as it is mani­ festly impossible for a maker to prac­ tice high ripening temperature unless he has ice or some other means at his command to control the temperature at will. However, more important than methods of making, to my mind; is the factor of cleanliness both in the handling of the machinery in' the factory and in the care of the milk by patrons. The pumps and pipea through which the milk passes should be cleaned much oftener than they are and to this one cause a great deal of off flavored butter can be traced. The gates to the milk and cream vats, too, are liable to become contaminated and prove a lively source of bad flav­ ors. Churns are usually kept clean> although not always, as I have had frequently to clean churns this last summer. The reason for this is in a good many cases due more to ignor­ ance than a deliberate desire to be dirty. There is more of a chance, ^however, to reach the slovenly maker than there is to impress the average patron with his shortcomings. Jn look­ ing over the cans brought to a factory it is rather a delicate task, for the maker to tell a man that his cans are dirty and his milk impure: Not only from the fact that he will incur his enmity, but that he will no doubt be told that if he does not want to take his milk in, there are other cream­ eries where they will be gkftd to take it, and this is too much the case and where a creamery is getting hardly enough<unilk to pay dRpenses the loss of a pat|cn or two is keenly felt.

The drainage from creameries often becomes a source of much annoyance to people living in the vicinity. The drains become foul with decaying casein and other refuse. As most of our readers are aware, putrid sour milk has not the smell of roses. Resi­ dents in the neighborhood of such ditches make complaint at the nui­ sance, while the cattle and other stock that are in the habit of drinking at the brooks refuse to take the water. "Some creameries undertake to remedy matters by running sewers for a long distance to some brook that is at a considerable distance from houses, but even in such cases some of the objectionable features remain. This - -may be remedied by the building of large tanks that will receive from 3,000 to 6,000 gallons of the drainage material at a time. These tanks can be constructed so that the water in them will gradually run off but the tank will be kept nearly full at all times. In effect, this is a septic tank It should be kept closed at the top, so that the air will not have free access to the tank. The result will be that the casein in the slop will largely rise to the top and form scum. In this the bacteria of a kind that do not use air will work and destroy all the organic matter, precip­ itating the ash only. The water then flows away clear without odor and can be allowed to run into any brook without a suspicion of polluting it Always think before you spealcT Be­ fore you write, think a long time.

A good many of our readers are using the Babcock tester. To such we would say, "Be careful as to the cor­ rectness of the pipette; as a variation in the gradations of this may result in rendering the test of no value at all. For many years this matter has been discussed, and in some of the states laws have been passed in an attempt to regulate it. It has been decreed that every creamery should provide itself with a pipette approved by the state, this pipette to be used to test all the others. But a good many creameries paid no attention to the law and others bought the pi pettes and laid them away carefully. It was easier to assume that the pi pettes bought from the commercial houses were right than to find out by testing them. But to the man that purchases a tester for the sake of finding out what his cows are doing ithis carelessness will not be passed by in silence. He has his own inter­ ests to act as a spur to mak^ him careful. One of the common methods of testing bottles is to make the tests and then compare the results from the different bottles or pipettes. If all agree it is quite safe to assume that the pipettes and bottles are cor- rect. This does not, however, neces* sarily follow; for the reason all of the pipettes and bottles may have come from the same manufactory and been all made wrong. On the test bottles the neck from 0 to 10 should contain two cubic centimeters of liquid, and the pipette should have a capacity of 17.6 cubic centimeters. Where possi­ ble it is best to send to the state ex­ periment station and get sample bot­ tles and pipettes known to be accu­ rate.--Farmers' Review. / , v * Keeping Horseradish. grated horseradish can be kept on hand ready for use and yet retain Its fresh flavor if well covered with vine­ gar and put Into an air-tight jar im­ mediately after grating. When it is to be used take out quantity desired, dilute slightly with cold water dbd mix with one teaspoonful of sugar to two tablespoons of horseradish. Care of Geese. The feeding of meat to geese has been proved, to be very profitable in its results, as the geese so fed grow more rapidly and are more hardy than those kept on a vegetable diet. If geese are hot permitted the use of a pasture but are kept penned up, the animal feed is all the more necessary. Breeding geese should not be per­ mitted to get too fat and hence should not be penned up if it can be avoided. Geese that are being fattened for mar­ ket must be treated in ju£t the oppo­ site way, as it is desirable to have their muscles become soft and tender with the presence of fat globules. Care in this matter will mean some dollars in the pocket of the farmer. It IS the common practice to select the market birds from the flock that has been roaming over the farm all the fall, no attention being paid to the penning and fattening. As geese that are continually running about work Off the fat about as fast as it is put on, it is evident that feed put into an unpenned flock is, to a considerable, extent, wasted. The second error in this regard is not separating from the flock those gee«e that are to be sold. The geese being allowed to run and all fed alike results in a double waste--that of fattening birds that are to be kept for breeders and that of fattening geese while exercising. Let the breeders run, and confine the birds that are to be marketed. Expensive houses are almost never erected for geese, as they are not in their houses as much as are chickens, nor do they suffer so much from neglect in this matter. Compared with chickens the geese require but small houses, and they may be rude in construction. The most that Is sought for Is protection In stormy weather, during most of the year, and protection in the coldest vinter weather. Buff Turkeys. Buff turkeys are not extensively raised. The color is supposed to be a clear buff color throughout, but this is seldom obtained. There are gener­ ally some white and dark shadings. A QUICK RECOVERY.

Sooner .or .later some system of col­ lecting and distributing eggs will have to be inaugurated in this coun­ try as the present system is very un­ satisfactory. Any system is unsatis­ factory that gives the merchant a large percentage of bad eggs to sell to his customers. This comes back to the farmer in many ways but prin­ cipally in the lower price of eegs In the summer time. Men that take their meals in the hotels and restau­ rants are very careful about ordering eggs in the summer time, as they too often have very unsatisfactory expe­ riences in so doing. It is safe to say- that if the eggs were always fresh a very much larger number would be eaten during the summer months and the prices would be correspondingly good. The well conducted poultry farm is not the establishment that sends poor eggs to market, nor does the farmer that has a poultry house and obliges his hens to lay their eggs in it furnish that kind of eggs. The bad eggs come laffeely from the mows and the scaffolds of the barns whe-e the mens have hidden away their nests and sometimes lay as many as two dozen before they are discovered. Then the eggs are gathered and sold to the traveling peddler, who cares little about their freshness BO long as he can get rid of them In turn to the/ man that supplies him with his m^- chandise. In Denmark they have a system of gathering eggs that pre­ vents bad eggs from getting into the consignments at all. We can dQrtfee same in this country when vee have time to get down to a system. Every housekeeper snould know that if they will buy Defiance- Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.--one full pound--while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in %-pound pack­ ages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch Is free from all injurious chem­ icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large let­ ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. Long-Established Business. When a "long-established business" is spoken of, fifty .or 100 years is con­ sidered a very respectable continuity in this country.

Oratory That Won. Congressman William H. Jackson ot Maryland, was engrossed in discuss ing with a number of colleagues the decadence of oratory. : "Sane people are not emotional," declared the con gressman, "and the conversational de livery of a speech carries as much weight with an intelligent audience as does the effort of a declaimer who in­ dulges in brilliant periods with arm swinging accompaniment." "You are right," said a listener, "and your statement reminds me of a young lady who had two suitors. Both men had about the same advantages and prospects, but gossip declared that the girl would decide in favor of the man who was a lawyer, for he knew better how to present and win his case.- Gossip erred; the lawyer was rejected. Later it was learned from a friend in whom the betrothed had confided the^ reason for her choice.

"From the start I got stronger and better until I was well again and from that time I havent used a bit of medicine for I haven't needed any. "I am so much better in every way, sleer soundly nowadays and am free frcm the bad dreams. Indeed this food has made such a great change in me that my wife and daughter have taken It up and we are never without Grape-Nuts on our table now­ adays.

"There's a reason." Look in each pkg. for the famous little book, "The Road to WeilTille." Increasing Capacity of Cows. Professor W. L. Carlyle, in an ad­ dress to Wisconsin dairymen, s°!d: After fifteen years of study and ob­ servation and five years of experi­ mental investigation of the dairy ca­ pacity of cows representing practically all the types of cows kept on the farms of this state, I am willing to risk my reputation on the statement that , there is hot a healthy, normal calf dropped Upon any of the farms of this state, of any breed, that will not, if properly reared, fed and cared for from birth onward, produce at, least 300 pounds of butter in a year, when at her best. At the same time,, I believe quite as firmly that there sro many dairy cows bred- for the specific purpose of milk and butter production through many generations that will produce 600 pounds of but­ ter per year under most favorable conditions as readily as some other cows not having these inherited ten­ dencies will produce three hundred pounds. While I do not wish to ad­ vocate the breeding of anything but the best of dairy cows, or to underes­ timate in any way the importance of inherited tendencies, yet I am assured from the results of our work at your Experiment. Station at Madison, that there are thousands of choice dairy cows in our' state that are not re turning their owners a profit, for the reason that they are not surrounded with the proper environment, includ­ ing suitable feed, shelter and manage­ ment. Of the cows purchased for our dairy herd at Madison, as many of you know, only two or three have cost above $65.00, and many of them much less. They include cows Inheriting beef tendencies, as well as those dairy tendencies, and yet there is not a ma­ ture cow in the herd, except a pure bred Jersey or two, that has not pro­ duced over 400 pounds of butter In a year. The trouble with so many of the dairy farmers In our state is that they are accustomed to look upon and think of a cow as a machine, Into which if you put a certain amount of raw material you will get a certain amount of finished product, irrespec­ tive of the fact that each and every cow is an individual with certain pe­ culiarities and ta6tes that must be studied and understood, and the most' suitable raw material supplied in the matter of feed, not to mention the nu­ merous other, conditions, before the particular, individual cow will manu­ facture, the finished product to the best advantage. Of the fifty or more cows that have been in the Station herd in the past five years, the three cows producing the greatest amount of butter in a year have belonged to three different breeds and, while they had many of the essential characteristics of large dairy producers in common, yet they all showed strongly the type of the breed to which they belonged. The largest yearly record of butter pro­ duction of any cow in the herd was made by a grade Red Poll; the second largest record by a pure bred Jersey, and the third by a grade Shorthorn. The phenomenal production of these cows was made possible by a careful study to supply each one of thei% with the kind of feed and environment that was best suited to °the particular de­ mands of the individual animal for greatest production. If all three cows had been given similar feed and treat­ ment in every way, there would have been a wide difference in their pro­ duction and some of them would have yielded, much less milk and butter. t . j ... V # ' 5 r Gannon Detroit Amateur Foam in Skimming Tank. * H. R. Wright, Dairy Commissioner of Iowa, says: There has been a very considerable amount of discussion in regard to the methods of prevention of foam, which is the one objection to the pasteurlzatf^, of skimmed milk at the creameries. The experience of numerous butterraakers, who have tried numerous plans, Is convincing that there Is no successful method of preventing, absolutely, the foaming of the skimmed milk when it is heated by the introduction of steam Into the milk. The foam, however, can be taken care of at Blight expense so that it will not be at all annoying. For some unknown reason practically every creamery has been built with the skimmed milk tank inside, a fact for which there exists no necessity. A skimmed milk tank built outside the creamery at a reasonable distance from It and situated over the drain, la the ideal skimmed milk tank, and In any case, in order that the foam may be controlled, the skimmed milk tank must be a closed tank. There should be a manhole in the cover of the tankt so that it can be cleaned, and besides the opening of the inlet and outlet for the passage of the skimmed milk, there should be another open­ ing in the cover of the tank from which a tin or sheet iron pipe 12 or 14 inches in diameter leads down and is finally connected with the drain. Such a device is cheapo and easily made by any tinner and will effectu­ ally dispose of any amount of foam that may arlBe. Milk Powder. At different times we have discussed In these' columns the matter of milk powders and have cautioned our read­ ers against too quickly accepting the statements that are going the rounds of the press, so far as the making of milk powders that will change back into milk is concerned. There never was a time when this matter was re­ ceiving so mucJi attention as at the present time. Yet in the matter of milk powder we have made no revo­ lutionary discoveries. The making of milk flour has been followed for some years and this Cour is now an article of commerce.
