FREE REMEDY HELPS CHILL LDREN

Many mother has learned of a way of avoiding sickness in her fam I lIy, especially among the children, by the use of free sample bottle of the famous laxative, Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin This offer of the doctors to send free sample bottle has been re- sponded to by thousands of women in all parts of America.
 Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a truly wonderful laxative and espe- cialy adapted to the needs of babies and children because 1t is pleasant to taste and no child will refuse 1t Then, 1t IS mild and never gripes It Is all that child's remedy should be, though it is good laxative for the whole family because it is effective at all ages. It is not dynamic like salts, pills and powerful cathartics. which should not be given to chi- dren under any circumstances
The Nevada County picayune., 1911-03-31

Nine times out of ten when a child complains and you don't know ex- actly what Is the matter with it, it needs laxative-its bowels are con- stipated. Syrup Pepsin will correct the trouble, tone up the child and soon it will be we'll again-wonder- ful results have been secured with Syrup Pepsin over night.
 You can buy it of any druggist at fifty cents or a dollar a bottle, the latter being the family size, but you are invited to make a test of it first at the doctors expense Send him your address today and he will send you a free sample bottle direct to your home. Then when satisfied buy Il of your favorite druggist.
 For the free sample address him. Dr w B Caldwell, 402 Caldwell Monticello, III.

She has been in bad health for the last year and had gone to the home of her son in Minden La. with hopes that it would benefit her health, but it seems that her long and most useful life must end and she passed away full of hopes of meeting her Redeemer on the other Shore.

and prevent winter rains from carrying off too much. This deep blowing question is not n CIV. All the books on agricul- ture from the earliest age have recommened the practice. Deep fall blowing in connection with abundant vegetable matter, pro- per drainage, fertilization, and a sys tematic cultivation through the crop making period will in- sure good yield on many of the soils that are now considered vaiueless.
 After the blowing has been done. whether fall, winter, or spring, the work is only begun. The land must be pulverized finely preferably several times, before the seed has been put in the ground. It is better to de- lay planting ten days Ethan to plant on poorly prepared soils. l have frequently heard good farmers say, that half the culti- vation should be done before planting, and it has been our ex- perience that this statement is not far from wrong as it at first seems. Summing up, let us urge that no crop be planted without thorough preparation of seed bed, and especially do we think this necessary on the cot ton farm. W. B. MERGER, in Southern Agriculturist.

ions from the land. 1t IS hard to estimate the loss in time and crops sustained each year by the Southern farmer simply from the neglect to properly clear his fields of the removable things that greatly retard his progress in all respects.
 Next to removing the object Iionable objects from the land, the water supply must be attended to before going further. If bottom or low lands are used good system of ditching or til- ing must be put in. On hill or rolling lands, hillside ditches or terraces can be used to ad vantage.
 The broad banked terraces now becOning common in quite a number of sections, are the need- ed protection, carry off surplus water slowly and, better still, when made properly, the best crop in the field will be on the terrace, which has heretofore been a nuisance in producing weed seed and growing useless crop of briers to sap the farm crop in adjacent rows. The cost of making these terraces has always been greatly exaggerated. pro- vided it is done by means of blows and drags or roadscrapers. Some hill lands in the South are ab- solutely unfit for cultivation with out this protection, it matters not how deeply you break the soil nor how full of humus you may have it. The latter two will of course come nearer holding them with out terraces than anything that can be done. The broad terrace will check the rush of water in sudden downpours. cause 1t to move slowly, and therefore get the greatest quantity to remain on the soil where needed
 The crying need of most soils is humus, and this is especially true of all cotton soils that have been under cultivation for any considerable length of time.
 The first thing that impresses the agriculturist from other sec ions of this country or Europe, when visiting the lack of humus. They can scarcely realize how we could have pursued a system of farming so long that constantly robs the soil of vegetable mater, and yet where any sort of at- tention is given to preparation and cultivation, yet fairly good crops. It is evident to all who know any thing about farming lands that it is next to impossible to get an ideal seed bed unless the soil has incorporated with it's suffi- cient vegetable matter to allow a first class mechanical condition in preparation, to say nothing of the chemicial changes that must be brought about by the aid of this addition of waste products.
 The most desirable form of humus is secured by the use of stable or barn yard manures. Therefore, it is very important that all wasteproducts be used in connection with the manures from the animals to make the output as large as possible. The other source of fertility and ac- emulation of this plant food may be had by growing legume crops on the soil as frequently as can be done. The many varieties of

Few Dogs Have the Rabies.

DIR. l.. III. Sharpely, Health
commissioner of Denver, remarks
that this is the time of the wear
when if a dog shows any sign of
sickness people imagine that he is
suffering from hydrophobia, but
contrary to public belief, rabies is
no more prevalent in summer than
IN winter, and a dog must have
RABIES to transmit that disease to
others.
We are told that of the hun
dreds of dog bites most of them arc
not serious and cause little or No
trouble unless they become semitic

CORN CROP LIGHTER.

Chicago, Aug. 14-The corn
crop in the seven surplus States,
according to the government fl
cures, promise to be 331, 900, 900
bushels less than last year, but
this does not mean necessarily
that there will be less corn moved
from the farms, or that farmers
will have a smaller amount Of
money, as the loss in bushels will
be compensated largely by the
advance in prices of 10 to Is cents,
and prossibly more, as compared
with last year, as much of the
corn was marketed last year as
40 to 45 cents, where 60 to 65 cents
is anticipated the coming winter.
Corn crop prospects are slightly
better than ten days ago however.
Small grains are mostly cut, with
the exception of the Northwest.
