experience which might be a help to
some OF his fellows He sowed the
seed In the spring and did not take
the precaution 20 inoculate the soil
with bacteria laden soil from an old
alfalfa beld or sweet clover patch.
The neld was a complete failure ex-

the alfalfa grew luxuriantly He was
at a loss TO understand this, but after
doing considerable thinking he remem-
befed that some thirty-hve years be-

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need q sufficient amount OF
good wholesome food and more than
this you need TO fully digest It.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach II
IL Is weak.
You must eat IN order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a sufilc-
lent amount Of food regularly.
But this food must be dIgested.
and Unjust be dlgested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do IL,
you must take something that viii
help the stomach.
The proper way TO do IS to eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
The stomach IS weak It needs help;
you must help II by giving II rest,
and Kodol will do that.

With every year that goes by that

because II saves the job Of husl1ing

advantage. This method requires good
fencing, but the gain in one season

A Pennsylvania farmer we heard OF
the other day very effectively solved
the problem OF loosening up the clay
hardpan soil OF long cropped field by
sowing the field In the spring with
seed of the long horn turnip and plow-
Ing the whole crop under in August.
he found that the long taproots Of
the turnip had penetrated the hard soil
to foot or more, and when the roots
decayed the held was very effectively
perforated, making possible n ready
circulation OF air and moisture. Al
falfa performs a similar service in
loosening the soil, but the turnips get
action in much shorter time.
