GREEN MANURING.

When \ green-manure crops are
plowed under, there is more or less
tendency of such material to sour the
land, and applications OF lime after
blowing under such crops sweeten the
soil and secure a more favorable con-
dition for the growth of clover. 1t Is
very important to work in clovers as
often as possible, and sweet soil Is
necessary to get good results with
them.

Spring Best Time to Renew Blood.

Spring Best Time to Renew Blood
Spring is natures season for re-
newing the life of things, and for
sweeping away the impurities that
have accumulated in the winter.
This custom of taking a remedy
for the blood during the spring
months is based on hard common
sense. Vinol, our delicious cod liver
and iron preparation without oil,
stands far above all other spring
medicines in value because 1t con-
tains the element needed to enrich
and purify the blood.
]. A. Thiel of Bronx Borough, n
c., says, Feeling the need Of a
good spring medicine to purify my
blood and build up my strength
started using Vinol in April. 1t
has done me so much good In every
way that | believe it is in all re-
spects Just as valuable remedy as
you claim. -
We guarantee that Vinol will
build up and strengthen all weak
