MISERY In STOMACH
IS ENDED FOREVER
Tells Readers How to Relieve lndi-
gestion in Five Minutes.

Why not start now-today and
forever rid yourself of Stomach
trouble and Indigestion? A dieted
stomach gets the blues and grum-
bles. Give it a good eat, then take
Pape"s Diapepsin to start the diges-
tive juices working. There will be
no dyspepsia or belching Of Gas or
eructations of undigested food, no
feeling like a lump Of lead In the
stomach or heartburn, sick headache
and dizziness, and your food will
not ferment and poison your breath
with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin costs only so
cents for large case at any drug
store here, and will relieve the most
obstinate case OF indigestion and
Upset Stomach In five minutes.
There is nothing else better to
take Gas from Stomach and cleanse
the stomach and intestines, and be-
sides, one triangule will digest and
prepare for assimilation into the
blood all your food the same as a
sound, healthy stomach would do it.
When Diapepsin works, your
stomach rests--gets itself in order,
cleans up-and then you feel like
eating when you come to the table,
and what you eat will do you good.
Absolute relief from all stomach
misery is waiting for you as soon as
you decide to begin taking Diapep.
sin, because you want to be thorough
ly cured of indigestion.

A VAkY VALUABLE
PLANT FOR FORAGE
Cultivate Kale for Cow, Hog and
Chicken Feed During Cold
Weather.

The agricultural journals OF the
Pacific Coast as well as many sue
cessful farmers recommend kale as
an excellent feed for cows, hogs and
chickens during the winter months.
Kale is to some extent grown In this
county, but there are many new
corners who are unacquainted with
this feed. II properly planted and
cultivated 1t will make anywhere
from 20 TO 40 tons per acre, but this
largely depends on the soil as well
as the cultivation. It requires rich
loan with plenty Of well rotted man
ure carefully worked in before plant
ing. It Is recommended that the
ground be plowed in the fall to a
considerable depth and again in the
spring. The seed should be sown
in drills on rich ground and when
the plants are from six inches to
foot high they should be transplant
en- In rows three feet apart each
way, so as to allow them to be
worked with light cultivator. The
transplanting should be done, If
possible, by the 18th of May. After
the second plowing the cultiyator
should be used on the ground to kill
the weeds and keep this up every
few days until the transplanting is
done. If you desire big yield per
acre you must cultivate often until
the growth OF the plants close up the
rows so that cultivatOr will not
go through them.
1t is important to get the seed
planted early, If possible before
April /, and have the plants large
enough to put out by the 18th of
May, so as not to expose them to dry
weather before they get well rooted.
Some transplant after the plow by
having someone place the plants in
every third row about three feet
apart. In doing this great care must
be taken to straighten the plants
and pack the dirt around them with
the foot BY this method a large
acreage can be planted in day, but
most farmers will be satisfied with
from one to three acres. II a large
amount Of feed is required It will
he necessary to select ground which
can be easily reached by team dur
ing the rainy season. If you keep
chickens or a COW in town three or
four rows Of kale planted in your
garden will make a nice change of
feed. A five cent package OF seed
will furnish all the plants you need
for n graden. pound of seed will
be enough to furnish the plants for
an acre. Keep plants ready to fiji
the vacant places.
