The Best Methods of Seeding Crimson
Clover.
Crimson clover is quite generally
sown at the last working of corn and
other cultivated crops. 1t usually gives
excellent results sown at the last
working of corn. throughout the Pied
mont districts and more northerly sec
tions, and also in the late planted corn
throughout the South.
The sowing of crimson clover at the
last working of corn or other cult
waited crop gives an ideal preparation.
In fact, it is surer to get stand in
this way than if the land is freshly
plowed and freshly prepared, as fresh
ly plowed land is usually too porous,
causing the seed to be covered too
deeply. and not giving the little plant
sufficient root-hold after it does start.
A good firm seed bed is of prime i'm
portance in securing good stand.
When crimson clover is sown by it.
self, the best method of preparation
is to plow the land thoroughly and
then harrow and cross-harrow several
times, so as to give good firm seed
bed.
AS soon after rain as the land is
dry enough a light harrow should be
run over the soil in order to break the
crust, and then SOW the clover seed,
covering afterwards with a light or
brush harrow.
If this plan is followed out. it will
almost invariably secure a good stand
and good crop of crimson clover, no
matter what the weather may be
afterwards.
Crimson clover is usually sown at
the rate of 10 to 20 lbs. to the acre,
during July, August and September.

City detectives are at work on the

Her Sight Restored by
Operation, Mother Sees
Her Son for First Time

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. s.
Mrs. Josephine O'Farrell who is sixty
three, saw her twenty-four-year-o son
for the first time in her life the other
day.
Blind since infancy, her sight had
been restored in an operation here a
few hours before mother and son clasp
ed arms and rejoiced.
"Joe-that's my boy-came up from
Santa Clara just as he heard L could
see," explained Mrs. OFarrell. when
he came in the room he thought he'd
fool me by pretending he was a doctor,
but when l heard his voice l knew him
the darlin'. Then he told me how
glad he was, and / guess we both cried
little.
att seems so wonderful to see things
that l just thank God and the doctors
all day long. 1 am the happiest wom-
an In the world"
Next to seeing her boy Mrs. O'Far-
relrs greatest joy will be the sight OF
her husbands picture when she goes
back to her home in Santa Clara, Cal
She was blind when married to NJ. J.
O'Farrell forty years ago in Galway
Ireland, and knew him only by word
and touch during his life time.
He courted me like a true Irishman,
she said. I'VE were always happy
even If / was blind. 1t didn't make
any difference to him. Now that 1 car
see 1 am glad that can at least look
at his picture.
II have always looked on the bright
side of life. and now in my old days
everything seems better than ever.
am going home and look at my cat and
see my flowers And L have my boy
Joe to look at all the time. What more
could a mother want?"
Mrs. O'Farrell became blind when one
year old. A cold, settling in her eyes
caused the loss of sight.
When she was a girl her parents tool
her to Sir William Wilde, noted oculist
and other famous eye specialists but
operations failed. The recent success
full operation-the sixth one she has en-
dured-was performed by DR.. Aaron S
Green and his brother, Dr. L. D. Green
1t is known as the Smith cataract op
Grafton. The sight of Mrs. O'Farrelrs
right eye was restored, and the left one
will be operated on after she has rest
ed for a time.

In both this country and Europe, mas been
specially employed to make thorough IN
vestigation into the real secret u the great
strength, power and endurance OF Jess viii
lard, and the marvellous value Of nuxated
iron as a strength builder.
NEW YORKAUpon being inter
viewed at his apartment in the Co.
lonial hotel, Mr.. Willard said; Eyes,
/ have a chemist with me to study
the value of different foods and prod
ucts as to their power to produce
great strength and endurance, botn
of which are so necessary in the
prize ring. On his recommendation I
have often taken nuXated iron and l
have particularly advocated the free
use of iron by all those who wish to
obtain great physical and mental
power. Without it l am sure that
should never have been able to whip
Jack Johnson so completely and
easily as 1 did and while training fo-
larly took nuxated iron, and / am
certain that 1t was most important
factor in my winning the fight So
easily" Continuing, DR.. Sauer said
''Mr. WIZARDS case is only one of
hundreds which l could cite from
my own personal experience which
proves conclusively the astonishing
power of nuxated iron to restore
strength and vitality even in mos
complicated chronic conditions"
Not long ago a man came to me
who was nearly half a century old,
and asked me to give him a pre-
liminary examination for life insur-
ance. l was astonished to find him
with the blood pressure of a boy of
20 and as full Of vigor, vim and vi
tality as a young man-in fact,
young man he really was, notwitn-
standing his age. The secret he said
was taking iron-nuXated iron had
filled him with renewed life. At so
he was in bad health; at 46 carewoIn
and nearly all in. Now at so a mira
Gle of vitality and his face beaming
with the bouyancy of youth. AS have
said hundred times over iron is
the greatest of al strength builders.
If people would only throw away
patent medicines and nauseous con-
coctions and take simple nuxated
iron, am convinced that the lives of
thousands of persons might be saved
who now die every year from pneu.
monia, grippe, consumption, kidney.
liver and heart trouble, etc. The real
and true cause which started their
iseases was nothing more or less
than weakened condition brought
on by lack of iron in the blood. Iron
is absolutely necessary to enable
your blood to change food into living
tissue. Without 1t, no matter how
much or what you eat, your food
merely passes through you without
doing you any good. You don't get the
strength out of 1t, and as a conse-
quence you become weak, pale and
sickly looking, just like a plant try"
ing to grow in soil deficient in iron
If you are not strong or well, you

owe it to yourself to make the
following test: See how long
you can work, or how far you
can walk without becoming
tired. Next take two five-grain
tablets of ordinary nuxated iron
three times per day after
meals for two weeks. Then
test your strength again and see for
yourself how much you have gained.
I have seen dozens of nervous. run
down people who were ailing all the
while, double their strength and, en-
durance and entirely get rid of all
symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and
other troubles in from ten to four
teen days time simply by taking
iron in the proper form. And this
after they had in some cases been
doctoring for months without obtain-i
ing any benefit. But don't take the
old forms of reduced iron, iron ace
tate or tincture of iron simply, to
save a few cents. You must take
iron in a form that can be easily
absorbed and assimilated' like nux-
ated iron if you want it to do you
any good. otherwise it may prove
worse than useless.
