EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBIiEiI
Calomel is Quicksilver and Acts Like
Dynamite on Your Liver.

Calomel loses you a dayi You
know what calomel is. It's mercury;
quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous.
1t crashes into your sour bile like
dynamite, cramping and sichening
you. Calomel attacks the bones and
should never be put into your sys-
tenn.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose OF dangerous
.calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for SO cents a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is n perfect substitute for
cslomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and cannot salivate.
Don't take calomel. It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
Give 1t to the children because 1t is
perfectly harmless and doesn't grippe.

airy grain grain thresher. Although
slower, best results are obtained
when threshed by hand.
Sweet clover is a splendid soil i'm
proven. It's deep roots loosen up the
hard subsoils, permitting the mois-
ture to penetrate to greater depths
and putting the ground in excellent
condition for the following crop. The
large roots of the plant rapidly decay
and leave a large amount of humus
and organic matter in the soil. Be-
ing legume, it is in no sense a soil
robber, and, when properly inoculat-
ed, will increase the supply of nitro
gen in the soil more than any other
legume. AS a green pasture it is an
excellent crop. The heavy growth
insures a great quantity of vegetable
matter. Sweet clover is an excellent
crop to precede any of the small
grains in rotation. 1t stores up nj
trogen and deepens the soil for grain.
Danger of sweet clover becoming a
pest is relatively small. The more
popular varieties are biennials and
1t is necessary to re-seed after the
second seasons growth. except where
1t is permitted to re-seed itself. The
plant will not grow from its root sys-
tom after the second season. The
tenactity of the seed shell may cause
the seed to remain over in the ground
for some time and then germinate,
but except where the plant has been
permitted to make seed there is no
danger from this source. BY keep
ing the plants moved during the sec
ond season there is no danger of the
sweet clover becoming a noxious
weed. No trouble will be experienced
with volunteer growth of sweet clov-
CT on cultivated fields. Sweet Glow
er has had the most generous recep-
ton in the South.-Walter Stemmons

Travellers along country foads or on
passenger trains have frequently no.
ticed along the bitches or the rail-
road right-of-way luxuriant gowths
that closely resembled alfalfa, but
that grew much taller and branched
out more than alfalfa. 1t matters
little what the state or section, the
same plant may be seen at frequent
intervals.
Some clover has been called the
''first cousin of the alfalfa because
of their close resemblance. Until re-
cent years. however, its sturdy
growth and adaptability have but
brought maledictions on the plant,
for wiseacres have said that "stock
won't eat it," That is one reason
why, in some places, you can travel
for miles along the railways and see
great patches of sweet clover grow
ing almost out of the cinders and not
a planted field of the crop visible.
1t finally dawned on the more lib
eral-minded that a crop that would
grow where alfalfa will not and that
would make richer, denser growth
would have great possibilities as a
pasture or hay crop if the "stock
could only be persuaded to eat it,"
One reason that stock had not dis
played relish for the plant was that
they had never been given a chance.
People just assumed that stock would
not eat it because of the coarse,
In late years it has been demonstrate
ed that farm animals can be induced
TO eat sweet clover by proper hand
ling, and that fed as pasture when
small and tender, or properly cut
and cured as hay. it may even be pre-
ferred by livestock to many other
kinds of grasses or forage plants.
The roadside weed is rapidly becom-
ing a staple forage crop and on some
farms it has entirely supplanted al
falfa. Sweet clover can be fed to
livestock If you know how to feed it
and in many sections great fields OF
sweet clover are not unusually
seen from car windows that once re,
vealed the plant growing only among
the cinders on the clay embankment
of the right-of-way
Sweet clover will not supplant al
falfa on farms that can successfully
grow alfalfa. But sweet clover will
grow where alfalfa will not, and il
does not require the coaXing that al
falfa does. Even if livestock shares
with man an early suspicion of the
plant, their tastes can be educated L
IL just as man has educated his tast,
to olives, certain breakfast cereals
and other foods that do not at firs
acquaintance tempt the palate.
Because of the aggressive qualitie
OF it's extensive root system swee
clover will loosen up compast grount
and is an excellent treatment for al
hardpans, or stiff clay soils. 1t is al
excellent soil improver and becaus
OF its hardy nature is a good crop t.
bring back life to abandoned farm
In the East and South The plan
supplies nitrogen and humus to tn
worn out soils.
1t is doubtful If any farm Gro
known furnishes better pasture 70
bees than sweet clover, and friend
OF the plant see in this fact an ex
cellent chance for the city man wit
a hankering for the country to get
good start in the apiary business o
a small abandoned farm near som
