Achy Joints Give Warning
A creaky Joint often predicts rain. It
may also mean that the kidneys are not
filtering the poisonous uric acid from the
blood. Bad backs, rheumatic pains, sore,
aching joints, headaches, dizziness and
urinary disorders are all effects of weak
kidneys and if nothing is done, there's
danger of more serious trouble. Use
Doan't Kidney Pills, the beet recom-
mended kidney remedy.

BEES AND CLOVER SEED H0G trough is adjustable
Cross - Pollinization Through
Agency of Insect Is Efficient.
Maintenance of Adequate Acreage of
Clover Hat Become a Rather 8e-
rlout Problem on Account of
8mall Supply of Seed.
Mechanical devices for pollinating
red clover uave not been found suc-
cessful by investigatory who have
been studying the problem of red clo-
ver seed production. On the other
hand, the Investigators found that the
bumblebeo is an efficient cross-pollina-
tor, and that under certain conditions
the honeybee may also be most useful.
For Bome years there has been an
Insufficient supply of home-grown red
clover seed. As a result not only has
the price of the seed been high, but
large quantities of foreign seed, which
is frequently inferior to the domestic,
have had to be Imported. In conse-
quence, the maintenance of an ade-
quate clover acreage has Lec3me a
rather serious problem. To remedy
the situation, attempts have been made
to ascertain the minimum quantities
of seed per acre required to secure a
satisfactory stand and the conditions
necessary to maintain such a stand.
In addition, efforts have been made to
develop a heavy seeding, hardy strain
of clover, and finally various mechani-
cal forms of pollination have been
experienced with.
A professional paper of the United
States department of agriculture has
recently been published containing re-
sults of experiments which show that
the yield of seed obtained on heads
which were not pollinated or which
were self-pollinated in different ways,
was practically negligible. The actual
amount was less than one-half of one
per cent, and thiB insignificant quan-
tity, it is said, may be accounted for
by accidental pollination from outside
sources. In contrast with these re-
sults it was found that the bumble-
bee was able to pollinate from 30 to
35 tiowers a minute in dry weather.
When few nectar-producing plants are
available It was found that the honey-
bee also collects large quantities of
pollen from red clover and in the pro-
cess cross-pollinteation of the flowers
takes place.

MANAGEMENT OF HERD BOAR
Best to Get Good Animal and Keep
Him for Years—Feed Sparingly
of Fattening Foods.
It Is not best to let the boar run
with the rest of the herd. It Is too
common a practice to sell the boar
when the season is over. This is
largely the cause of so many small
litters and weak-boned pigs. It is best
to get a good boar, and keep him for
a few years, and as he matures his
pigs will be stronger and litters
larger.
Have a small yard of grass if pos
sible, hog tight and away from the
sows, so he will not be worried. A
quarter of an acre will afford plenty of
exercise In the open air. When grass
is not available, give him cut clover
or any other good green feed that he
will eat.
Feed sparingly of fattening feeds
but give him feed that will keep him
growing If he is not fully developed.
Mill stuff, skim milk, clover, alfalfa cr
anything that furbishes protein is ad«
visable. At all times keep a supply of
ashes, salt and charcoal where be can
obtain it at will. It will do much to-
ward keeping him in good health.

"Then Take Advantage of the
Opportunities In Canada."
(Contributed by W.. J. White, of the
Department of the Interior,
Ottawa, Canada.)
I strolled Into a bank tn one of the
cities of the west a short time ago and
the bank manager said "after the
war, the Canadians should be pre-
pared for a great Influx of people.
The crops that the western Canadian
farms have produced in 1915, and the
wealth that the farmers have had
thrust upon them by the high price
of grain, will make farm lands valu-
able and farming remunerative. After
the war Is over there will be thou-
sands go to Canada to engage in agri-
culture and many other Industries that
will certainly prove profitable. Condi-
tions will be wonderfully good. The
advertising that Canada has had dur-
ing the last year or two by its magnifi-
cent contribution of over 250,000 men
to fight for the Empire, the wonderful
sums it has given to the Red Cross
and Patriotic funds, the excellent
showing It made in subscribing over
double when only 50 millions of dollarB
was asked as a war loan, the brav-
ery, courage and hardihood of the sol-
diers who have fought the battles in
Flanders, It is Just wonderful," and
my enthusiastic banker grew eloquent.
Ono might have thought he waB a sub-
sidized booster for Canada. "But," he
said "they won't go until after the
war."
"Well, now, Mr.  , why wait un-
til after the war? -If all you say be
true, and you have said nothing yet
of the wonderful bank clearings of
Canada today, nothing ot the fact that
the immense grain crop of Western
Canada this year has given to every
man, woman and child In that coun-
try, over three hundred dollars per
head, why wait until after the war?
After the war, under such conditions
as you have pictured (and which are
real) land values will go up, prices
will Increase. Advantage should be
taken ot the low prices at which these
agricultural lauds can be had today.
They have not increased any as yet,
and excellent farm lands can be had
close to railways in old settlements,
in excellent communities for from fif-
teen to thirty dollars per acre. The
**X climate is good and will be no better
after the war."
"What about conscription, though?
Is there not a danger from conscrip-
tion, and should I adviso any to go
there now, would they not have to
face it? Then too, there is the report
that there is a heavy war tax on
lands."
I was surprised to learn tliat these
old yarns, stories that I thought had
been exploded long ago, were still do-
ing duty in many parts of the United
States, and that a gentleman of the
wide learning of my friend, was in-
clined to believe them.
"Conscription!" I Bald. "With Can-
ada contributing 250,000 men voluntari-
ly enlisted, why conscription? There
is no conscription In Canada, and
neither will there be. It is not need-
ed. In any case no legislation could
be passed by the Dominion Parliament
which would Impose military service
upon people who are not citizens of
him of an Ottawa (Canada) syndicate
that had a yield of 130 bushels of
oats per acre from their farm at Wain
wright and from 60 acres of wheat
field they threshed over <0 bushels per
acre. These yields while phenomenal,
were repeated in many portions of
western Canada. It was interesting to
inform him that the average yield of
spring wheat in Saskatchewan was
25.16 bushels per acre; Manitoba, 26.3
bushels; In Alberta, 36.16 bushels,
and over the throe provinces tbcro was
a total average of over 30 bushels per
acre.
"The Immense crop that has lust
been harvested has put millions of dol-
lars In the hands of the farmers, and
the work of distribution through the
regular channels of trade has already
begun. Millions of bushels of grain
are still In the hands of the farmers,
which means that there is a vast store
of realizable wealth that will be stead-
ily going into circulation, benefitting
the thousands who are dependent in-
directly on the basic industry of the
province for their livelihood.
"The mock prosperity that rested on
the Insecure foundation of inflated real
estate values has passed away, and In
its place the corner stone of the coun-
try's sound financial future is being
built.
"The trust and mortgage companies,
the large implement concerns and the
wholesale merchants all tell the same
story today of marked improvement
in their business. The farmers and
others are meeting their Just dues and
paying off debts that In many cases
have been long overdue. Collections
are better today than they havo been
since the most prosperous days of our
history, and obligations are being met
freely and promptly.

CLEANLINESS IS BIG FACTOR

Cleanliness is the blggeBt factor in

The calf should be born In a clean
place, and everything about kept clean
from that time on. The calf pen
should be looked after dally and thor-

palls and troughs must be kept clean.
