THE FIELDS ON THE HILLSIDE


You have noticed that the soil on the
sidehiIl field has washed badly the
last few years. Ever wonder what was
the reason for this increased water
action? Do you wish to stop III
Humus, the decaying vegetable mat
ter in the soil, tends to prevent this
erosion. Humus absorbs moisture and
retains It. When the soil contains an
abundance Of humus the soil particles
are kept apart and they can absorb
more water. The soil Is open and the
water tends to soak into the ground
instead Of run on Therefore, one Of
the best ways Of preventing erosion il

1t himself at odd times when other
work is slack. A shed Of this sort
should tide the farmer over hard
times when he can improve it by en-
closing the sides and putting on roller
doors at an additional cost OF thirty
to forty dollars.
In storing machinery when not
equipped with abundant shed room
It is best to get it in as small a space
as possible. The binder, for instance,
can be put away without the tongue
the reel and the dividers. The fin
gers that push the bundles out can be
turned in and in other ways project
ing parts can be removed or closed in
so as to make the outside measure
ment smaller. Another thing to do
in q shed OF the kind mentioned is
Ito set all parts coming IN contact with

i away from the damp ground and to
raise the machines closer under the

Satisfied with the Medicine
We Recommends

We are SO positive that our remedy
will permanently relieve constipation,
no matter how chronic it may be, that
we offer to furnish the medicine at oui
expense should it fail TO produce salts
factory results.
1t is worse than useless to attempt to
cure constipation with cathartic drugs.
Laxatives or cathartics do much harm.
They cause a reaction, irritate, and
weaken the bowels and tend to make
constipation more chronic. Besides,
their use becomes a habit that is dan.
gerous.
Constipation is caused by a weakness
of the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or descending colon. To ex.
pect permanent relief you must therefore
tone up and strengthen these organs
and restore them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Orderlie:
on our recommendation. They are
exceedingly pleasant to take, being
eaten like candy, and are ideal fol
children, delicate persons, and ole
folks, as we'll as for the robust. They
act directly on the nerves and muscles
of the bowels. They apparently have
neutral action on other associate organ
or glands. They do not purge, caus
excessive looseness, nor create any in
convenience whatever. They may b
taken at any time, day or night. The,
will positively relieve chronic or habitua
