DRINK MORE WATER If KLDNEYS BOTHER Bat less meat and take Salts for Bach ache or Bladder trouble— Neutralizes acids. Uric mid 4n meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish, stone, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri- tated, and you may be obliged to seek re- lief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush oil' the body's urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. .At 1rst you feel a dull misery in the kid- ney region, you suffer from backache, hick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue dated and you feel rhea- 1natic twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces +of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful iia a glass of water before breakfast for afew days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithie., and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so It no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. 40Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in- jure; makes a delightful effervescent Lithia -water' drink which everyone sTould take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe ' in overcoming kidney, trouble while it is only trouble. "TO CORRESPONDENTS the Herald Will :go to press Wed- leeedae a.;fternobn.

(Contributed by Ontario Department .of Agricuature, Toronto.) ACTERIAL soft rot is a dis- ease liable to attack fleshy vegetables and flowers, parti- cularly carrots, cauliflower, turnips, celery, tomatoes, iris and cala lily, and in a lesser degree onions, asparagus, salsify, sugar beet and mange]. Occasionally the dis- ease results in heavy losses to the grower of these crops, General Appearance of the Disease. As the naive signifies, the disease results in a soft, wet rot of the plant attacked. The rotted portion of the plant is darker in color than the rest of the plant. The color of the dis- eased part varies from a light, red- dish or greenish brown to a very dark brown. •Cause of the Disease. The disease is due to the action of a certain species of bacillus known generally as the vegetable soft rot bacillus. This is a very minute or- ganism about 1-10,000 of an ' inch and 1-20,000 of an inch thick, tri tv Moore. •Circus with Jiggs, the n.:ng of merrymake.,s.

Truworthy was broken to harness inn May in his yearling form and trotted a quarter en 38 seconds!, ohne-eighth in 18, with no intention but when it gets into the vegetable tissue through a wound made by the hoe or cultivator or insect bite, it feeds on the plant juice and multi- plies rapidly and as it develops_ it produces an enzyme, which digests or softens the fi-m tiesue, breaking it down into a soft, pulpy, strong - smelling mass, which is easily de- tected. In this soft -rotted tissue the bacilli will be present in millions. In cauliflower the disease is found more often in the flower than in the leaves or stem; the latter parts, how- ever, are also subject to attack. In turnip, the disease most fre- quently enters at or near the crown, through caterpillar or slug attack, or through injuries received during hoe- ing or cultivation. It softens or rots the leaf petioles at their base, caus- ing them to fall over, and spreads': slowly in dry weather, rapidly in wet weather, through the tissue of the root, inducing a brown -colored soft rot, with strong odor. In carrot' the disease enters and develops in much the same way as described for the turnip. It is more apt to spread rapidly through a crop that is thickly sown and not well thinned out, the shade produced by the heavy tops snaking ideal con- ditions by keeping the ground moist for the development of the disease when once it gains entrance, and har- boring slugs and caterpillars that spread the disease. Carrots which crack b,eneath the ground are liable to be attacked by the disease, the soft rot bacillus gaining entrance to the tissues through the cracked surface. in celery the disease is not very common, but when present is most .often found starting at or near -the tops of the young growth. In tomatoes the bacterial soft rot is very common during wet seasons. it is found most frequently in the fruits that are in contact with the soil after they have commenced to ripen. The bacillus will not readily Ienetrate through the unbroken skin of the tomato. But when a tomato is resting on the damp earth, that part of the skin in contact with the soil is frequently weakened, thus pro- viding a means of access to the ba- cillus. This, however, is not the only means whereby the disease enters the fruit. Slugs are very partial to toma- toes just ripening. In their attack on the fruit they eat through the skin, leaving the interior flesh ex- posed. This exposed surface is an ideal medium for the bacillus of soft rot to develop in. The writer has found many tomatoes, particularly in wet seasons, when slugs are plenti- ful, that have contracted the disease in this way. Eradication and Control of Disease. Spraying with fungicides, which is so effective in controlling the fung- ous diseases of plants, is of aao avail with bacterial diseases, as the bac- teria which cause the disease act in the interior tissue rather than on the surface; hence the spray will not reach them. Spraying with insecticides is help- ful indirectly, as it tends to keep in check the insects, slugs, cater- pillars, etc., which are one of the of sear -611)1g hdnru.

When harvesting and storing tures nips, cauliflower, cabbage, celery, tomatoes, or other vegetables from crops in which the disease has been present, great care should be taken not to include any specimen that shows the slightest appearance of the disease, or to smear the healthy specimen with the soft rotted parts of diseased specimens. If these pre- cautions are neglected, the disease is liable to establish itself and spread more or less rapidly through the en- tire crop stored. --D, H.

Prc.*,•iso Abundance of Cool Water for Dairy Cows During /lot 'Weather—shade in Pasture Also ISesentiai — Ideal Location on Banks of Cool, Pure Stream. (Contributed by Ontario Department or Agriculture, Toronto.) -NEW growers realize the im- portance of properly harvest- ing and marketing their early vegetable,. The large major- ity are expert enough to produce an excellent crop, but there is perhaps only about one out of ten that har- vest and market their crop to the best advantage. The public is to- day, perhaps more than before, de- manding a high grade product. They are willing to pay the price if they get the quality, and the gardener that will make the greatest success will be the one that caters to this demand. There are several factors of great importance necessary to achieve the greatest amount of success. Fore- most of these, perhaps, is proper harvesting. Few, even of our grow- ers, realize .how rapidly our vege- tables deteriorate in quality after they are taken from the ground. Much of the fine flavor and crispness is lost in the case of such products as onions, lettuce and radishes in only a• few hours unless special care is exercised in handling. Such crops should never be exposed to winds or the hot sun and if they -can be kept in a cool, fairly moist condition, the least possible loss in quality will be maintained. To market the vegetable crop to best advantage the grower must ever keep in mind the ultimate destination of his ,goods. The housewife is the one that he must please. If she is well pleased then she tells her neigh- bors quietly over the back fence, but if she finds that she has received something of very inferior quality then she proclaims her grievance from the housetops and forever after will be hard to convince that there is such a tiring as high quality. The most important factors to bear in mind are few in number and are not hard to put into practice. The proper degree of maturity is the first one that must be considered. Carrots, beets, onions, radishes and the other bunching crops should not be pulled before they reach the proper size. They should be carefully pulled and taken to the bunching houses. There they :are neatly bunched, tied and washed and then should be protected from the atmosphere as much as pos- sible by covering. Lettuce, spinach, parsley, cabbage and cauliflower should be carefully cut and placed in baskets or carriers. Care should be taken that none of the dirt is taken up and allowed to fall through the leaves, as this is hard to reprove even by careful washing and will always lower the quality. There is perhaps not more than ono person in ten that can be called a really successful salesman, and hero is where a good many of our growers fall down, and after produc- ing a high grade product they are unable to market it to the best ad- vantage, The first requisite, as has already been mentioned, is a high grade article. An inferior grade can- not be expected to obtain the highest price. The proper care in preparation is also important. A neat, attrac- tive package, well -packed, with high grade vegetables will always coin - mend the higher price. Furthermore, an attractive article will be its own salesman, and no matter how over- stocked the market may be, will com- mand a good price. Tlae proper care in sorting and grading is also quite ianportant. Vegetables of poor qual- ity should never be placed on the market. They will not only have to be sold at a much lower price but will also have the effect of lowering the price on the higher grades, with the result that many a good market has been almost ruined by a sma11 quantity of inferior goods. From this we see that the greatest results can only be obtained by grow- ing a high grade article, carefully harvested and attrectfv'r1y and effi- ciently marketed.—A. H.
