Strange Experience

The great good that Is being done
here has caused a flame of conviction
to sweep over many homes, and
scores of people are going to Wilkill

the health creating Root Juice that
has caused so much talk throughout
the state during the past few months.
The necessity of proving the merits of
the great remedy has almost ceased
as most of the people are convinced
by the rapid improvement or cure of
some neighbor or friend who is unde,

who suffered for years from severe
attack of rheumatism in telling OF her
most interesting experience said: Il

without success but can say that
when had taken only two bottles of
the wonderful Root Juice medicine |
was able to walk without assistance
and to take care of my household
duties" 1t seems that after people
take the medicine few days and ex-
perience its really wonderful effects
upon the system, they praise 1t so
highly that their suffering friends and
neighbors soon become convinced of
It's merit. 1t is said that the scientist
spent a. fortune in perfecting the
discovery and he is certainly being
rewarded, for 1t is almost impossible
to make the medicine fast enough to
supply the demand. The discovery has
certainly proved to be marvel for
healing and toning the stomach, bow.

every walk of life who have suffered
for years with stomach troubles, rheu-
matism, nervous weakness and kidney
affections, after taking the remedy
few days are SO enthusiastic in their
praise that it is hard to doubt the
health-giving properties Of the medi-
cine. We are informed that the dem
onstrations will continue at the Will

drainage, and where an outlet can
be obtaind it is believed that tile
drains II properly laid may prove be-
eficiaL. 1t can also be improved by
adding lime or ground limestone al
the rate of from 1000 to 1000 lbs.
rer acre. This viii not only cor
rect the acidhy of the soil, but will
also improve its texture. making It
more granular and frlable.
The ~undulatlng phase of the Put
lam slit loan differs from the flat
phase principally in the character of
its subsoil- The surface sod Is in
places somewhat lighter in color, the
sllty surface and subsurface layers
are usually somewhat thinner, and
the layer of heavy brown tenacious
clay below the slit Is not so we'll de.
vuloped as in the flat prairie or may
oe waiting entirely, the silly surface
ssSis resting directly upon the vel
low and mottIed silty clay.
This phase not only has better sur
face drainage. but the subsoll also
permits of undertakings much bet.
Ter than does the clay layer Of the
fat prairie.
The origin Of the heavy clay layer
IN thu subsoil Of the level prairie Is
not fully understood, but IL is be.
Htyed TO be due to the deposition
OF fine material carried from the sur
face soil and deposited along the
zone Of maximum penetration OF
rain water. Lime and iron in the
soil r also taken into solution and
where the downward movement OF
the water Is checked lime and iron
concretions are found.
Where the country is unduIatina
there must be a lateral as well as
a downward movement Of the perco.
lating water so that the tendency to
form a heavy layer Is less, and
where a drainage course works back
into an area Of the flat prairie the
tendency is toward the breaking III
OF this heavy layer through the lat.
erai movement of water and soil par
ticles.
The undulating phase OF the Put.
nam silt loan is an earlier and
more productive soil better suited to
wheat, corn, clover and to fruits thai
is the level phase.
The value of the land on this type
varies somewhat, but very little OF
the type however can be bought
for less than $50 and It ranges from
this up to SIS per acre.

The Putnam silt loan as found in
Audrain county may be divided into
two phases. the level poorly drained
phase and the unduiating phase.
The level phase consists Of a
silt loan dark gray when dry, but
almost black when wet, which ex.
tends to a depth of from ten to
fourteen inches where It grades into
a very light gray, IN places, almost
white silt. At a depth OF sixteen
to nineteen inches below the sur
face, this rests upon a layer heavy
tenacious brown clay almost impervi
Gus to water and varying from five
TO ten inches in thickness. Below
this layer of brown clay the son be-
comes yellower in color and more

mottled yellow and gray silly clay 10
a depth of several feet.
On account of its Level topography
and the ~imperyious subsofl, this soil
is usually poorly drained, is not we'll
aerated, gives an acid reaction, and
is therefore not well suited to deep
rooted crops as clover. alfalfa or
trees. As noted elsewhere 1t can be
