ance, but they are often criss-crossed
in bestowal.
It is poor way to plow the soil and
let 1t lie without working before plant
ing, so that it dries out and cannot be
got into good condition. If the ground
is plowed in the fall we should begin
upon it as early as possible In the
spring and cultivate or disk it several
times, so as to start and kill several
crops of weeds, and this will also put
the soil in good condition.
BY the end of that time the land is
exhausted, the yields are low and the
farmers are poor. The change to d.
versified system of farming should
never be deferred until the land is
run out. In most OF the regions men,
toned above, characterized by single
crop systems of farming, the change
to more diversified and more conserv-
ative types of farming-that is, types
more conservative of soil fertility
has been more or less completely
made.
The following statement will be re.
ceived without question:: "By giving
pigs access to clover pasture in ad-
dition to ground corn, water, and
mineral matter, during the first three
months of a six months feeding
period, they made 2.7 times as much
gain in live weight as was made by
the pigs that had ground corn, water,
and mineral matter, but no clover.
Glover is nitrogenous roughage and
among other considerations furnishes
protein, which in the above case en-
abled the pigs to make much larger
and also much more economical
gains'
The floor in the horse barn is of
very great importance. The dirt floor
by most horsemen is considered to be
ideal in most respects. There seems
to be something beneficial to the
horse to permit him to lie close to the
soil. Then it makes softer floor to
stand on than any other. However,
the dirt floor becomes Objectionable
on account of it's damp condition un-
less the drainage is exceptionally :
good. A well-drained dirt floor that is
kept covered with plentiful supply
of bedding is without doubt the ideal
floor for horse barn. 81

Thus the machinist, by the turning of a

COUNTY FAIR Is PROPOSED

J. T. McVay. of Calhoun. thinks that
an old-times county fair in connection
with the corn show to be held in Atlanta
next fall would be a great drawing card
and stimulate interest in farming gen.
orally.
Mr.. McVay lives at Calhoun and in
the past few years has been prominent
in the county fairs held there. They have,
too. been among the best held In the
south. Mr.. McVay thinks to combine a
county fair and corn show in Atlanta
at that season would prove of interest
to thousands and that one would act
as a drawing card for the other.
The idea was sent to President F. J.
Paxon. Of the chamber Of commerce, In
letter written by Mr.. McVay. This
letter has been referred to the agricul-
ulral and convention committees of the
chamber. J. T. Holleman is chairman

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe
ana EffeCtuaI Cure For 1t

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings,
a formation of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing headaches, tickle appetite.
nervousness and a general played out,
lanquid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and If the in
terror of the stomach could be seen IL
would show a Shiny, infamed condition.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before 1t has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate mu-
cous surfaces of the stomach. To Sc
cure a prompt and heslthy digestion,
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disappear
ed.
According TO DR.. Harlanson. the saz-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Gold
en- Seal and fruit acids. These tablets
can now be found at all drug stores
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and not being a patent medi-
cine can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite and
thorough digestion will follow their reg
ular use after meals.
Mr.. R S. Workman. Chicago. ILL.,.
writes: "Catarrh is a local condition
resulting from a neglected cold in the
head whereby the lining membrane OF
the nose becomes infiamed and the poi
sonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, thus producing catarrh of the
stomach Medical authorities prescribed
for me for three years for catarrh of
stomach without cure, but today l am
the happiest of men after using only
one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
I cannot find appropriate words to ex-
press my good feeling. I have found
flesh appetite and sound rest from their
use"
st,rart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the SAT-
est preparation as well the simplest
and most convenient remedy for any
form of Indigestion, catarrh of stomach,
biIiousness. sour stomach, heartburn
and bloating after meals.
