Better than Pills.

The question has been asked, "ln
what way are Chamberlain's Stom-
ach & Liver Tablets superior to
pills?" Our answer is: They are
easier and more pleasant to take,
more mild and gentle in effect and
more reliable as they can always be
depended upon. Then they cleanse
and invigorate the stomach and
leave the bowels in a natural condi-
ton, while pills are more harsh in
effect and their use is often follow
ed by constipation. For sale by

could get nothing to cure me.

Dodd's kidney Pills and began treat
ment- with the result that was very
soon on the mend.
II kept on using the pills and am now
entirely better. honestly do believe
that they are the greatest remedy the
world has ever seen.

PROFITABLE ROOT CROP.


Select fertile clay loan soil. +
would have been better if it had been
plowed late last fall and replowed
this spring. If the land is not fertile,
make it SO by the application Of ten
to 90 loads of fine manure per acre,
or 200 pounds Of q mixture containing
so pounds of acid phosphate, SO pounds
of dried blood and so pounds of muri-
ate of potash. Any of the hand seed
sewers will distribute the seed evenly.
Make light sled marker of pieces OF
boards or planks, which may be drawn
by hand if the plat is small, or by
horse If it is large, for a hand seeder
or drill cannot be run straight enough
without q mark previously made.
Then, too, if at least three marks can
be made at once, two-thirds of the
spaces will be of exactly the same
width. Make the rows from "a to 80
inches apart. If you have suitable inn
plements for cultivating narrow in
tervals, and have small, well-trained
horse, rows as narrow as 1s inches can
\ be titled; but land being the lesser fac
tor and labor the greater, the rows
had better be far enough apart SO that
frequent and thorough horseshoe til
lage can be given, thereby saving much
hand labor. Plant the seed about ten
to 20 times as thickly as you will
want plants. There seems to be
no way of getting a good stand with
out planting large quantities of seed.
With hoe chop the rows out, and
leave one or more plants, or bunch
of them, every six to eight inches.
When the plants have Strengthened up,
run q hand cultivator close to the
rows. AS soon after this treatment
as they have Strengthened, and when
there are four to six leaves to q plant,
thin the bunch by hand to one plant in
a place. Soon after, run the hand cul-
tiyator through again, and the most
difficult part of the work will have
been accomplished. After this the
horse and a fine toothed cultivator may
be used, and it will be necessary only
occasionally to go through and remove
the struggling weeds in the row which
have escaped. A good yield of mangels
is 80 tons per acre, and superior yield
40 tons, a possible yield As tons.-Coun-

All macaroni wheats are extreme
" sensitive to changes of soil and
climate. This will account for GER
tain .peculiarities in the quality Of
the grain that have already been
noticed by growers occasionally in
this country. Grains partially soft
and white are from crops grown
either under damper. cooler condi-
tions or in places where there is
comparatively little nitrogen in the
soil. The requisite conditions for q
perfect grain are black prairie
soil and short. hot. dry summers. On
the whole. changes of climate appear
to have a greater effect than
changes of soil, but, if the soil be-
comes almost bereft of humas, the
grain shows the effect plainly by
becoming more opaque and white,
because of the preponderance of
starch. If, in this case, the climate
is at the same time arid, the grain
remains rathor hard, but simply be-
cause of its dryness. If the soil is
black and rich and the climate too
moist, there is considerable discol-

To Reclaim worn-out Land.

IF YOU think that land lacks humus.
apply stable manure or turn under a
green crop. The best general green
crop is red clover, but it does not catch
we'll on very sandy and very hard soils.
Then begin with any crop which will
grow-rye, buckwheat, corn, anything
to get start. If the land produces
weeds when left to itself, it is good
enough to produce something else.
Turn the weeds under, sow something,
turn it under, sow again. In two or
three years the results will be seen, re-

prove it's quality.
Do, not permit man, boy or dog to
hurry the cows to and from the pas
ture.
elbow grease applied to the soil
through hoe has an excellent effect
upon all vegetables.
On wet days get the tools ready, that
work may begin at once when the
ground is dry enough to work.
Each evening plan for the work for
the next day. Never begin day with
out carefully prepared plan.
Make a free use of whitewash. 1t
protects wood, and is a good disin-
fectant in all damp places.
Do not turn the stock upon the fields
when the soil is soft and wet. In the
early spring this Injuries the grass
roots greatly.
Make all the stable manure possible.
The German farmer says: ''The ma
nure pile is the farmers bank" Have
heavy deposit there.
The poorest land is too valuable tc
grow only weeds and briers. If it
ought not to be in cultivation, plant it
with some valuable timber trees.
Speak quietly to men and anima1s.
Do not permit any loud or boisterous
talking on your premises. Loud talk
makes animals nervous and sensitive
as well as tarsher treatment.

grass has got good start. One way
to have good pasture is to give the
