Gases i'm Stomach
Poison The Blood

Gas forms in your stomach because
the food you eat ferments and turns
sour.
Allow this fermentation to 60 OIL
and these gases become poisonous and
the poison gets into the blood.
MONA stomach tablets stop the
fermentation almost instantly. turn
the poisonous gases into liquod, and
eliminates the poison mostly through
the kidneys.
If you have any stomach trouble
such as gas, sourness. heaviness,
flatulency, or shortness Of breath,

the soil fertile is the first time that it
is cropped. OF course, there are some
kinds Of soil that seemingly do not
depreciate in fertility, no matter how
long the same kind Of a crop may be
raised on them; but it is not good prac-
tise to take this for granted.
To come right down TO the point as
to why more farmers do not look more
closely to the maintaining of fertility
il their soils permit US to say that it
it quite evident that we do not know
our soils. We do not know what ele-
ments the soil lacks; we do not study
it and give it the attention that We do
other parts of our farm work.
We are getting the feeding of farm
animals down to a scientific basis; we
have learned hat certain foods O n
tanning the fats and proteins in a prop
er portion will, when fed to the stock.
produce the best results. The ration
must be balanced. as we say, and the
ration must be supplied in the required
amounts.
How many of US have studied our
soils to know what they require in the
hIS vi ANNu, In thSS ~ Ao'S
to supply to the growing crops?
We learn in connection with the
feeding of the dairy herd that individ-
uality must be considered; W. cannot
make it a rule to feed all the COWS just
the same amoun of feed n h same
proportion of ingredients in the ration
if we are to get the desired results
the most successful of our dairymen
know just exactly the kind Of feed
each individual cow must have to
place her dairy performance at the
! maximum.
Suppose that we all gave his kind
of attention to our soils, and it is just
as important that the grain farmer
should study his soil and know it's in
dividual requirements to insure it's
best performance as it is for the dairy
man to know the individual require
ments of the COWS in his herd
Just why there are not more farm
ers who make a study Of their soil is
not an easy thing to explain. And why
so many of us are reluctant to take
up new ideas that, on the face of them,
show their value is another puzzler.
We believe that it is safe to say
that more farmers know less about
their soil than they do about any other
thing around the farm, and it is the
one thing of which they should know
most.
Watch the average farmer select a
horse for the farm wark. Note how
he looks at it's legs to see if there are
any blemishes; observe the way he in
spects the teeth, the feet, the should
ers, the eyes,, and how he tests it's
wind. He knows the defects when he
sees them: it is not an easy matter to
fool him in regard to a horse; but take
him out in the field-one of his fields
and pick up a handful of the soil.
and ask him which of the plant food
elements his soil seems to need mostly
to bring it up to a high stage of eff
cheney. Or ask him to what treatment
his soil best responds.
II he is an average farmer he can
not tell you. He may say that he uses
a certain grade of commercial ferti-
lizer which seems to produce a better
yield of wheat; but he does not know
what the fertilizer contains, or wheth-
er his soil needs all the lements in the
