GOOD MANURE FOR

Three Crops Yearly.

To grow early. crisp vegetables the
ground must be deep. finely pulver-
ized and well filled with rich. rotted
manure. Fertilizers will not take the
place Of manure. Manure must be
used to furnish humus as well ms to
enrich the ground. Our leading mar
ket gardeners and truckers use large
quantities OF manure and fertilizers.
says a writer In Baltimore American.
The average dressing for an acre OF
land. where double cropping is fol-
lowed. is to broadcast 20 one.horse
loads OF manure and to drill In with
the seed 500 pounds OF standard
bone fertilizer for each acre under cul'
tivation. Market gardeners having a
limited number OF acres mark the
rows on i6 inches apart and use the
hand plow and cultivator instead OF
horse culture. and as fast as one crop
Is sold on the land is again planted or
sown BY this method. two. three

grown from the same land.

which can be worked by horse culture.

DANGEROUS DEBILITY

Debility may result from number OF
causes-worry, aitcr-eiiects Of acute ILL
ness, lack of nourishment due to dis
ordered digestion, or anything that makes
the blood thin, thereby preventing it
from carrying health and nourishment
to the tissues of the body.
The symptoms OF debility vary but
weakness is always present, often q ten
dcncy to fatigue easily, ringing in the
ears, black spots passing before the eyes,
weak back, dizziness, wakefulness caused
by inability to stop thinking, and unre-
freshing sleep.
Debility is dangerous because it weak
ems the body's defence against disease.
For instance, dcbilitated people take
cold easily and winter is always trying
time for them. When one cold follows
another the system surely needs build
ing up.
The treatment Of such rundown con-
ditions with DR.. Williams Pink Pills is
based on sound medical principles and
common sense. These pills build up the
blood so that it nourishes every part OF
the body, nerves aswell as muscles and
brings vigor, strength and health.
