INCUBATION IMPORTANT TO
SUCCESS OF ALFALFA
President Andrew NJ s0uIe tate college Of Aaroulture


A yield of practically IL tons per
acre of cured alfalfa hay was obtain
ed from the first years cuttings at
the College Of Agriculture in 1918.
The most striking lesson of the ex-
periments was the advantage of moe
ulating. Each of the five cuttings was
carefully weighed from both the in
oculated and the uninoculated. The
first cutting was made April so. The
inoculated tract produced 1853 tons per
acre and the uninoculated 48 tons per
acre. On June IA a second cutting
was made. The inoculated produced
1.19 tons per acre and the uninocu-
lated SO of ton per acre. The third
cutting was made on July IL when

uninoculated. On August 20, the
fourth cutting was made, the inoculat-

AN lNCESSANT Cough.
Continued Dropping Of Mucus
into my Throat.

Al severe cough is always a grave
symptom 1t may not indicate or
ganic disease of the lungs. Even
though the cough is a functional dis
turbance it is Of sufficient gravity to
demand prompt attention.
The dropping Of nucus from the
back part Of the nose into the throat
indicates nasal oatarrh. Sometimes
this goes on a long time before the
patient pays any attention to it. It
Is stated on good authority that mu-
Gus dropping into the throat in this
way is apt to excite catarrh Of the
stomach. At any rate, the condition
ought to be corrected as soon as pos.
sible.
Mrs, Bourland, Of Frankston, Texas,
found after using Peruna that not
only did the incessant cough disap-
pear, but the dropping Of nucus into
the throat had also ceased. Read
what she says:
"B'or twenty three years Z was a
constant sufferer from chronic ca
tarrh. 1 had q severe misery and
burning In the top Of my head. There
was almost a. continual dropping of
mueus into my throat, which caused
frequent expectoration. My entire
system gradually became involved,
and my condition grew worse. had
an fncessant cough and frequent at
tacks of bilious collie, from which it
seemed I could not recover My
bowels also became affected, causing
alarming attacks Of IeGorrhages.
II tried many remedies, which gave
anly temporary relief, or no relief at
Ill. / at last tried Peruna, and in
three days I was relieved of the bowel
leran cement. After using i've bottles
I was entirely cured
Il most cheerfully recommend the
use Of Peruna to any one similarly
afflicted"
