LIFE SAVED BY
FRIEND’S ADVICE
About three years ago I suffered with
appendicitis and after having an opera
tion performed it left me with a severe
case of kidney trouble. I was doctored
by several physicians and getting no
relief I took the advice of a friend and
procured a bottle of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root. After taking the contents of the
first bottle I felt greatly relieved end
decided to continue it. After using the
contents of three more dollar bottler, I
experienced a complete cure.
I cannot recommend Swamp-Root too
highly to anyone suffering from kidney
or bladder trouble.
Tours very truly, l

OPEN SEASON NOW ON
FOR AMATEUR GARDENERS
(EL P. Powell, in the February Outing.)
Gardening as a rule is the easiest hold
for ordinary city people. There are not
'so many secrets about growing beets,
carrots, potatoes and beans as there are
spout growing plums and apples and
cherries. Any good agricultural paper
will carry you through your experi
ments and lead you safely ‘to sucoeso.
There is, at course, much more to gar
dening than appears on the surface, but
you can learn iixost of it as you move
on. You have 'to make ypur soil as well
as cultivate your plants.
You must not couht on large returns
until you have planted considerable ex
perience as well as seeds, but with the
worst sort of blundering you can hard
ly fall to get enough vegetables for
home consumption the first year; the
waste can go to your cow and horse.
What you can do will be something like
thia: From a garden five rods square,
get your table corn in succession froYn
July to September. You will from the
same field get plenty of green peas dur
ing the same period. For string beans
and shell beans you will need another
strip about one rod by four or five. Po
tatoes will call for a third strip six rods
by four, and good mellow soll ft rftust
b? to give you good Now when
you come to planting sor 4 “ttbrket, multi
ply the stripe according to the amount
of vegetables you are prepared to truck
and sell.
