REASONS FOR TILE DRAINING

~ Tile drainage makes all tillage
and harvesting operations easier and
more rapid, physically and me ian,
ically.
(2) Drainage removes both the ex.
cess surface water and the surplus wa.
ter In the soil and subsoil.
(3) Drainage prevents loss of fer.
tility by surface washing
"a Drainage will save fertility in
soil with each rainfall.
(6) Drainage helps to warm the soil,
as we'll as to dry It, giving the best
conditions for plant growth.
(6) Drainage ,engthens the seasons
Of tillage, crop growth. and harvest.
"a Drainage increases the extent of
root growth
90 Drainage helps to disintegrate
the soil and makes pulverization pos
sible.
(g) Drainage greatly diminishes the
effect OF frost In heaving out wheat,
clover, ETC., In winter and spring.
(1O) Drainage on clayey soils helps
the crops to resist drought better.
(if) Drainage often. tho not a..
ways, diminishes the suddenness and
violence OF foods.
(i3) Drainage improves the health
of the people In the community.-C. e

should be used for production of hay

When this rotation is followed out
in systematic order, it Is as follows:

With the growing interest In silos
and silage there has come an IN.
creased demand for a satisfactory.
cheap, homemade silo. The wood
hoop silo probably originated at Scots
Vile, N. Y. where the first one of this
kind of which we have any record, was
built in 1894 In the Sweetwater Val

nessee, a type OF silo commonly known
here as the Tennessee Wood-hoop

years. II is now found in various parts
of Tennessee, and Is being built in
practically every southern state. It is

weeks OF this condition and your fever
comes on. Then you have typhoid
fever.
This disease is caused by small or

Is needed to see them. One OF them
is known as bacillus, but since they
are usually found in great numbers
the reader most frequently sees the
plural form OF the word-bacili
Typhoid bacilli may live for long
time outside OF the human body. They
will live In the soil. They do not hatch
until they are In just the right sur
roundings. The human body furnishes
this ideal condition and once they are
in, they multiply very rapidly In the
lower two feet Of the small intestine
they develop most rapidly, forming in
the bowel wall thin fat sheets or
patches.
To keep the bacilli out of the body is
the problem. Cleanliness, in all that
1t means, will help much, for the bacilli
may be found on the fingers, are car.
ried by flies; and contaminated food
and water are frequent mediums thru
which the bacilli reach the human
body.
When the bacilli get into the body
and get their work started. then the
patient gets the fever.
The rise of temperature, at first, may
be noticed only in the afternoon. 1t
gradually rises until the patient is so
miserable and weak that he is forced |
to take his bed The fever continues
and usually ranges from 102 degrees to |
los degrees. The fiatulency and ten

evident. caused by the irritation and

stage that hemorrhages
sometimes occur. Then, again, there
are times when the ulcers slough so
deeply that they perforate the bowel
and it's contents escape into the abb
iominai cavity, causing, of course, a
most serious condition, from which

CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Glve me a small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him TO order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv

SMOKE TO PROTECT U. S. SHIPS
All American Craft to Be Equipped
With Smoke Producers.

Washington-Thou of smoke
producers to protect American troop
and munitions ships from submarines
are being turned out daily by a gov
eminent contractor in Delaware. At
ter October / no ship of any destrip-
ton may sail from American ports I'M
less equipped with them. All vessels,
too, must be painted by a system of
camoufiage worked out by the naval
consulting board. Details of these sys-
TENS are government war secrets.
The smoke screens will be used only
as q last resort. Twelve smoke boxes
will be on every vessels deck. Should
one OF the kaiser's U-boats detect the
spirit-like trappings of one of these
American ghosts of the sea, the smoke
funnel will be started and the smoke
boxes dumped overheard.
The action of the sea water on one
of the ingenious combinations of chem
leans will throw off great clouds of
dense black smoke and the ship can
slip away.
Once used, however, the smoke
boxes are worthless. The smoke fun
mel costs about 1925 and the smoke
boxes $25 each.e
The government hopes to save thou
sands of tons of shipping by these
precautions.
