MAY PROVE FATAL
When Will Elkton People Learn The
Importance OF It

Backache is only a simple thing
at first;
But when you know It's from
the kidneys;
That serious kidney troubles
follow;
That diabetes, Bright's disease
may be the fatal end,
You will gladly profit by the
following experience.
'Tis the honest statement of
sufferer who was cured.
Mrs. Jerome Baker, 1924 N.
Chester street, Baltimore, Md,
says: 81 suffered for some time
from kidney trouble. There were
acute pains through my back and
hips and also had a great deal
of trouble from the kidney secre-
tions. Often | was in such great
misery that | could not attend to
my work. Headaches and dizzy
spells gave me great annoyance,
and | became alarmed. Doans
Kidney Pills were a blessing to
me, and after | had taken them a
short time | was entirely rid OF
kidney complaint. Today | have
not the least symptom OF this
trouble, and | give Doans Kidney
Pills the entire credit for my
cure"

After this the company was liz
v:ted to the dining-room, where a
table laden with good things
awaited them. At the close of the
dinner the guests were given as
souvenirs, American flags, bearing
the name of each one present. As
these were distributed, the little
folks joined in singing "Our
Flag" This was the first OF a
number of patriotic and popular
songs, which they sang from
memory with much enthusiasm.
When time came to say good

Cow Peas
BEST TIME FOR PLANTING

BEST TIME FOR PLANTING
AS rule, to plant early is best
for seed, medium planting will
do for hay, and late planting for
forage or grazing. In this sec
ton, however, COW peas should
not be sown earlier than the first
OF May, nor later than the middle
of July. Cow Peas are usually
sown at the rate of about FIVE or
six pecks per acre although Of
varieties like the New Era and
Iron, which are smaller seeded,
one bushel to the acre is sufficient.
Cow Peas are eminently adapted
for use as secondary crop, as
they can be sown between the
rows OF cotton or corn at the time
on their last cultivation, effectuat-
ly covering and shading the
ground and preventing the
growth OF weeds.
VALUE AS SOIL IMPROVER
As a green manure to be plow-
ed under, Cow Peas are OF great
value. In one instance, when two
adjacent fields had been cropped
to cotton for many years, eight
years ago, one OF these fields was
sown to COW peas between the cot
ton rows, and the vines plowed
under. The increased growth and
yield OF cotton on this field, re-
sulting from the COW pea crop, has
been noticed in the field and in the
financial returns, for the whole
seven years since. Where COW
peas are plowed under, however,
it is best to allow the vines to
partly die down before the vines
are plowed under, and a good
picking OF ripe peas can frequent
ly be made without disadvantage,
before the vines are plowed undeS.
If the Improvement OF the land is
not a prime consideration, and
the land is not too poor, it is
most economical, however, to cut

the crop for forage either for sale
or for feeding, and plow under the
ROOFS and stubble, and it tyill give:
the best and most profitable N
turns in this way. A large amount
of the :ertilizing value of COW peas
is in the stubble and roots, and
the improved mechanical condition
Of the soil is always an important
factor in the growth Of COW peas.
COW PEAS TO FOLLOW
GRAIN CROPS.
Cow Peas can follow other
crops that are harvested early, Civ
ing two crops in one season on
the same land and at the same
time, adding to the fertility Of the
soil, instead Of making an addi-
tional drain upon it, as would
seem probable at first thought.
Over wide areas i'll the Southern
States, wheat and oats are har-
vested sufficiently early to permit
crop Of COW peas to follow in
time to produce a maximum yield
of hay, or fair yield of seed.
Fields infested with crab grass
may be sown in cow peas and the
resulting hay is excellent as food
for working stock.

Crimson Clover

The use OF Crimson Clover
throughout the Middle Atlantic
and Southern States has increased
enormously in the past few years,
due to the fact that 1t is unques-
tionably one of the most valuable
crops for late summer and fall
seeding.
Crimson Clover, in addition to
its great value as soil improver,
makes splendid winter cover
crop, excellent grazing during the
late fall, winter and early spring,
and is one of the earliest, best and
most nutritious crops that can be
put in for cutting for early green
feed.
Crimson Clover also makes a
first class hay crop, provided it is
cut just as it is coming into bloom,
before the seed forms. 1t can be
used for any of these purposes
grazing, early green feed or hay,
and even then the condition and
productiveness of the land will be
improved to a wonderful extent
wherever it is grown.
Crimson Clover for fruit grow
ers, and tor use in orchards, as a
green cover and soil-improving
crop, is unsurpassed, and the larg-
est and most successful orchard
lists in Virginia, Maryland and
Delaware are using it extensively
every year, with the best and most
satisfactory results.
Crimson Clover increases corn
productiveness wonderfully. Many
of our best farmers are sowing
crimson clover at the last working
of corn, blowing the crop down
end of the following April or early
in May, and planting corn again
with increased yields each success"
sive year.
Crimson Clover as winter,
spring and early summer grazing
crop is unsurpassed. A great
many of Our cattle raisers in this
section depend upon crimson clo-
yer for their early grazing and
fattening of sheep and cattle, un-
til their regular pastures come in
to use.
Crimson Clover for truckers and
market gardeners saves fertilizer
bills, supplying humus and nitro
gen to the soil, increasing produc-
tiveness and the quality of crops
to a wonderful extent.
Crimson Clover is indispensable
for dairymen, furnishing the ear
liest green food and increasing the
flow and quality q; the milk as
we'll as improving the butter both
in color and production.
Crimson Clover is usually sown
at the rate of about IS lbs. to the
acre, during July, August or early
in September. 1t is also sown to
the very best advantage at the last
working of corn or other cultivat-
ed crops.
Farmers who are sowing Grim
son clover are increasing their
acreage whenever and wherever
possible, IS they find it altogether
one of the best and most satisfac-
tory crops grown upon the farm.

fat boy having by their joint efforts

Says the chronicler Of the days sport:
It was the most intensely Interesting
thing to observe the manner n which
Mr.. Pickwick performed his share In the
ceremony-t0 watch the torture OF anx-
iety with which he viewed the person be-
hind gaining upon him at the imminent
hazard Of tripping him up. 10 see him
gradually expend the painful force which
he had put on at first and turn slowly
around on the slide. with his face toward
the point from which he had started. to
contemplate the playful smile which man
tied on his face when he had accomplish
ed the distance and the eagerness with
which he turned around when he had
done so and ran after his predecessor. his
black CATERS tripping pleasantly through
the snow and his eyes beaIHag cheerful
ness and gladness through his spectacles,
and when he was knocked down. which
happened upon the average every third
round 1t was the most invigoratinS sight
that can possibly be imagined to behold
him gather up his hat, gloves and hand
kerchief with glowing cOuntenaHce anu
resume his station in the rank with an
ardor and enthusiasm which nothing
could abate.
Mr.. Pickwick unfortunately breaks
through the ice and gets good wet
ting, but, being taken on smart run
to the house, put to bed and given IN
limited quantities of hot punch, finds
himself uona tho worse next morning
when the party departs from Dingley
Dell.
Thus does Dickens tell US of one of
the merriest Christmases that reader
could desire. There Is no touch of sad
ness in the chronicle, and all that one
could wish for is that the story were
longer. Long live the tale, and long
may we enjoy Christmas with the
Pickwickians!

A Christmas Sentiment.

However sincere we may be in our
efforts to spread Christmas cheer. our
charity is none the less a testimony
to our sense of the fact that peace and
good will have not come upon the
earth. Poverty and wretchedness are
not to be Offset by yearly gifts of bas-
kets Of food and outgrown clothes.
We ought to make the spasmodic
kindness Of Christmas one Of the
constant forces of our Industrial world.
Equality and fraternity are born not
Of charity, but of justice.
Instead of commercializing Christ.

not too much so to peruse with the
greatest interest. We must pass over

distinguished himself by felicitous
speech, and get to the story OF the
