make any growth whatever on much
of our lands Its roots system pene-
trates the hardest soil, makes them
porous and stores up vegetable matter
and nitrogen and renders the natural
elements of the soil more available for
plant food. On the poorer soils the
growth increases rapidly and in very
little time washed away hillsides will
have their gullies checked and be pro-
ducing a luxuriant growth which will
furnish choice food for the stock.
Most legumes must be planted by
the hand of man and many require ex-
pensive preparation and fertilizing and
always must be planted on the richest
part OF the farm. Another valuable
feature is that 1t will hold its own
with any of the native grasses or
weeds, and frequently runs them out
entirely.
No plant in the south, except per-
haps the Bermuda grass, will give
more or better pasturage from May
until frost Growing, as it does, on
the toughest and poorest hill soils and
on the richest bottom lands, it adds
untold value to the pasture lands
throughout the areas which it covers.
No other plant will stand so much
hard grazing or dry weather through
the summer period. 1t has been
claimed, and with good reason, that it
adds 25 per cent. to the earring ca
pacity Of any pasture Of which it is

Soil for Plums.

Plums need a light, open soil and
sub-soil 1t is rather difficult to clas-
sify them, owing to their belonging to
different species, with different re-
uuirements. Cherries are quite adapt
able in the matter of sub-soil, but all
the districts in which cherries are
markedly successful have light, open,
sub-soil Grapes stand in a class by
themselves. Our native grapes grow
largely by streams and in poorly
drained, damp places, while practical
ly all our cultivated grapes demand
open soil.

that Portugal is merely Spain in min

Scribner's. AS a matter of fact, there
IS little kinship between the two. On
paper the languages of the two coun-
tries bear considerable similarity. but
the pronunciation of Portuguese diff

that no advantage of convenience &C
crues from a knowledge of the latter
tongue. In all other aspects, more

The liver is the straight road to health.
If your liver is right, you are right. Ev-
erybody's liver goes bad once in a while 4;
gets lazy or stubborn or sick or clogged
up.
Whenever your liver rebels, don't take
a horsewhip to it in the form of Calomel
or violent purgatives or even harsh ca
thartics. Such treatment is sure to result
in much damage.
It's easy to coax your liver to do its
duty by using HOT SPRINGS LIVER

uplands, to three or four tons on
rich lands and bottom lands. One

Rake and let stand in windrow or

When saving seed for use or for
market, the poorer portions of the land
will be found best suited. There will
usually be a heavier crop of seed and
less straw to run through the thresh-
er. When moving for seed alone. the
moving should be delayed until the
larger number are matured Cut be-
fore the plants are killed, however.
Rake while still moist and let cure in

if weather permits, is to haul directly

to prevent blowing out seed The yield
varies from to IL or more bushels

The market for hay is growing by
leaps and bounds. and anything like
a good quality can be sold for good
prices, ranging from sl2 to SIS per
ton. Seed saving has not yet become
general anywhere in the lespedeza ter
ritory. The supply does not equal the
demand so far.
