RHEUMATISM
CAN NOT BE .RUBBED AWAY
It Is perfectly natural to nib the spot that hurts, and when the muscles,
nerves, joints and bones are throbbing and twitching with the pains of
Rheumatism the sufferer is apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some other
external application, in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing
tounter-irritation on the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pain tempo
rarily, but can have no direct curative effect on the real disease because it
does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism is more
than skin deep it i3 rood and grounded in the blood and can only be
reached by constitutional treatment IT CANNOT BE RUBBED AWAY.
Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by
the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues
cf bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. This
refuse matter, coming in contact with the different acids of the body, forms
uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the
body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches and pains
are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved for a time
by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or
dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheuma
tism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated
with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift
from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causing
inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous system
Is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes
deformed and crippled for life. S.,S. S. thoroughly cleanses the blood and
renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign
matter from the system. It warms and invigorates the blood so that instead

Although many authorities have de

Plaa-ne of Flel-Mica.
-The apple belt of Maine Is suffering
from a visitation of field mice, which
have devastated the orchards, so that
it will require several years of careful
nursing before the apple crop will be
up to standard. These animals are so
tiny that It seems Impossible that they
could cause so much damage, but the
seriousness of them Is due not to their
size but their numbers. They have
been allowed to multiply very rapidly
In the past few years by the destruc
tlon of their natural enemies, the
crows, Jays, shrikes, owls and hawks.
These birds . have been killed off In
great numbers by the farmers because
of the damage they are supposed to do
the crops and In thus disturbing na
tures balance the farmers have
brought down upon themselves nn
equally If not more serious trouble.
The mice attack the fruit trees,
gnawing the bark from the base, so
that the tree is seriously Injured and
often killed. The State agricultural
experts are working on the problem,
but they are unable to offer any solu
tion, except that of protecting the nat
ural enemies of the mice. Poisoning is
not successful, for the reason that
other animals- ar.e destroyed at the
same time. .

Llme-Solphnr-Salt Woata.
From experiments carried on with
chemically pure lime and sulphur. It
npjears to the author of a government
bulletin that solid sulphur Is not dis
solved by boiling fifteen minutes, but
that the best results are obtained by
boiling from forty-five to sixty min
utes. A boiling period of one hour
Is sufficient to dissolve nenrly all of
the sulphur, but the thlosulphates are
somewhat Increased by a longer period.
Salt apparently has no influence
upon the composition of the wash In
so far as the sulphur compounds are
concerned. The slight differences In
the composition of the wash, as used
by different Investigators, have little or
no Influence upon the time required
for boiling. When lime and sulphur
are used In equal quantities there Is
more than enough lime to dissolve the
sulphur. These substances may be
used In the proportion of one pound of
lime to one and one-quarter pounds of
sulphur. About twenty-five pounds of
sulphur to fifty gallons Is a maximum
quantity.
It appears that the use of air-slaked
lime has no Influence on the compo
sition of the wash, and that there Is
likewise practically no difference In
composition whether flowers of sul
phur or flour of sulphur is used. De
tailed notes are also given on the com.
position of lime-sulphur wash with
particular reference to the different
kinds of sulphur compounds. It Is
found that not nil of the sulphur Is
dissolved by the hent generated by
caustic soda, but the suggestion Is
made that a wash containing ten
pounds of caustic soda and nluetetm
pounds of sulphur per 'fifty gallons of
water without lime may give satisfac
tory results.
Selecting; Milch Cows.
That one cow can be made to do the
work of two has been found to be
easily accomplished by the selection of
the best Individuals. A Vermont dairy
man, whose cows produced 100 pounds
of butter each per year, has succeed
ed In getting 200 pounds per year from
each cow in the herd. Dairymen In
other sections have done, fully as well.
It Is claimed that If one cow gives
as much as formerly did two, there
Is a saving In stable room, labor and
care. This cannot be accomplished,
however, unless the cows are reared
on the farm, or purchased from Im
proved breeds. Feed, of course, Is
an Important matter, also, but a good
cow will give more product from the
food eaten than will, an Inferior cow
that Is fed In the same manner.
Land owners Interested In establish
ing commercial forest plantations, shel
ter belts, windbreaks and snowbreaka
and In planting trees to reclaim shift
ing sands and other waste lands, will
be given pra-tlcal assistance by the
forestry service of the Department of
Agriculture on application to the offices
at Washington.
There is a medium in feeding which
It Is best to follow. It gives to each
animal Just what Its system can read
ily assimilate and make use of, no
more, no leas.
