DON'T DELAY
Some Smyrna People Have
Learned That Neglect is
DanSerOuS

The slightest symptom of kidney
trouble is far too ser ious to be over
looked. It's the small, neglected
troubles that so often lead to serious
kidney ailments. That pain in the
"smsll" of your back; that urinary
irregularity; those headaches and
dizzy spells; that weak. weary, worn
out feeling, may be natures warning
of kidney weakness. Why risk your
life by neglecting these symptoms?
Reach the cause of the trouble while
there yet is time--begin treating
your kidneys at once with a tried and
proven kidney remedy. No need to
experiment-.Doan's Kidney Pills have
been successfully used in thousands of
cases of kidney trouble for over so
years. Doan's Kidney Pills are used
and recommended throughout the
civilized world. Endorsed at home.

Mrs. ]. Shelton, Union St. Smyrna,
says: "My personal experience with
Doan's Kidney Pills has shown them
to be a good kidney medicine. They
brought prompt relief from backache
with which l was troubled at that

ALFALFA AT JUDYVILLE FARMS

Six years ago man sold his farm
in Ohio and came to Virginia, wear
ing something on his mind besides his
hat. This something was Alfalfa"
and the man who wore it, and still
wears it, is ZAP Judy, and our story
starts with that day six years ago
when he started to take land out OF
the brush and put it in alfalfa.
1--WE have taken wOrn-out land,
grown up in thick brush, and after
cleaning it and plowing deep. we have
sown it to cOwpeas. We feed our soil
from the start, using from 250 to 40C
pounds of fertilizer per acre. Wher
the season is good we cut the peas fOI
hay, but otherwise we plOw the crOE
under for green manure. This is gen
orally followed with Crimson clover,
using at the same time a ton of lime
stone and 200 pounds of fertilizer. This
has always made an excellent crop
to be harvested the following May.
"Then we break the land deep, sow.
ing to cOwpeaS again, and about Au-
gust 10 these are turned under. The
seedbed is worked down to a fine tilth,
and the alfalfa sOwn about the last
week in August.
Before seeding we spread from one
to three tons of limestone per acre,
and with this was drilled in $50
pounds of high-grade fertilizer. Today
we use the best Kansas-grown, non-ir-
rigated alfalfa seed, about thirty
pounds. With this, we also put in ten
pounds of crimson clover, to insure q
heavy hay crop for the first cutting
the following May.

was so thick that you couldn't shoot
a rabbit fifty feet away, so not being

ESQ YEARS OF PROFIT
ABLE GRASS

In England there is a park at
the famous ROthamsted expert
ment station, which has been
used as a meadow for more than :
two and One-half centuries,
which was used as a hay field at
the time of the Revolution, and
which was in sod when Amer
lea was being colonized. This
park has been top dressed an
nually for the last sixty years.
At the beginning Of this period
it was producing about Ia tons
Of hay per acre. Where fertili-
zers have been used, the aver
age acre yield for 80 years has
been in one case 2.7 tons, in an
other 3.3 tons, and in a third
case Al tons, depending upon
the amount of top dressing ap-
piled. This is really a wonder
full accomplishment, and should
make those farmers who are
content with mining" instead
of farming, with robbing the soil
and year after year getting
smaller and smaller crops, feel
that possibly they are using to
the fullest, the opportunities
given them.

FEEDING FARM WORK HORSES
Grown Feeds to Fullest Extent
Grain Is Essential.

In feeding horses utilize home
grown feeds to the fullest extent. In
section where corn can be well ma
tured. this grain ought to constitute
the greater portion Of the concentrated
feed for work horses.
Corn alone can be used as a grain
feed for work horses II good quality
OF alfalfa or clover hay is fed for,
roughage. When combined with mixed
hay or timothy hay, grain combina-
ton Of three parts corn and one part
oats by weight Is satisfactory mix
ture.
If oats are scarce and high In price.
cottonseed-meal or oilmeal may be
substituted for the protein furnished
By the oats. One-third to one-half
pound Of linseed meal will, with the
amount secured through mixed hay.
furnish sufficient protein for a 1900
pound working horse.
A horse at farm work requires from
IN to III pounds Of grain per 100
pounds live weight daily. Feed grain
sufficient to keep the horse in good
working condition. Hay may be linn
tied to the standard Of pound Of hay
to 100 pounds live weight daily. Re
duce the grain one-half on days when
the horse Is Idle to avoid azoturia.

MOST NUTRITIOUS OF FOODS
Sweet Corn 10 More Easily Dried
Than Almost Any Other Vegetable
PLANT Good Supply.

Ry r. w. THATCHER, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station)
Dried sweet corn is one Of the most
nutritious foods. Sweet corn Is more
easily dried than almost any other gar
den vegetable. For these reasons
very large amounts of sweet corn
should be dried this summer for use
next winter 1t can be planted on
small tracts or In large fields and Ia
one of the most easily cultivated gar
den crops.
For table use. small lots Of quick
maturing varieties like the Early
Golden Bantam should be planted; but
for drying for winter use, the larger
and heavier yielding sorts, as Coun-
try Gentleman and Stowell's Ever
green, should be used.
Let everyone who has a garden or
field available plant plenty Of sweet
corn to give summer supply and a
large excess to be dried for winter
use.

VIII Brocades Be Worm
A fashion reporter who was at the
remarkably successful fabric EXPOSE
ton recently held in Lyons, France,
gives bit of most interesting news
concerning the introduction Of bro
cade. 1t Is this: That the most ex-
quisite brocade with an unusual de-
sign has already been made at Lyons
for Nine. Polncaire, the wife Of the
president of the French republic, to be
worn when peace is declared.
This brocade Is closely guarded and
Its design Is not allowed to be copied.
Whatever celebration France expects
to have when peace Is declared will
be the circumstance that will unlock
the case where this brocade is kept.
Nine. Poincaire will receive II as a
gift from Lyons, and some great dress
maker will prepare 1t.
This piece of cloth Is not the only
! evidence of what the manufacturers
Of Lyons believe to be possibly near.
Literally, half mile or so of gold
and silver brocade has been woven
and Is now held In reserve for the
| celebration of peace. This weaving
represents the very highest pinnacle
of the craftsmanship of the master
weavers of Lyons.
It is said In exclusive circles that the
purchase of all of this brocade has
been arranged for by dressmakers and
individuals of power and prestige In
Paris.
Another new silk which was shown
at Lyons and which Is said to be very
beautiful is called La Soleil de la VIC
toire. 1t Is so eminently French for
Its workers to reflect their hopes, their
sacrifices and their faith In terms of
fabrics and women's clothes!
Fashions That Follow the Army.
1t is no longer considered in good
taste to wear anything that resembles
the American flag. That unfortunate
episode in our national costumery has
passed by.
1t is In good taste to wear dark
blue coat and line 1t with red; blue
and white striped awning skirt may
carry red sweater above 1t; but the
hawking about Of the national colors
In the very moment when they are to
be baptized by the blood of thousands
who are fighting for an ideal, and by
the willing sacrifices of women who
are pushing their men forward on the
path of that idealism, Is too vulgar to
be permissible.
There are other fashions, however.

CLEAN AND STORE PLANTERS
implements Should Be Put Away Care
fully for Another Year-keep
In Good Condition.

AS soon as the farmer has finished
using the planters for this year, they
should be cleaned and put away care
fully, so that they will be In good con-
dition for another year. Often by
carelessly allowing planters to lay
around uncared for, one has to buy a
new one the following season, or at
least hunt for lost parts. Every plate
and other part Of the planters should
be stored carefully away, and the
planter left ready for use another
year. Prices Of machinery are ad.
vanclng as well as prices of foodstuffs,
and there is no reason why the farmer
should not take unusually good care
of all implements on the farm.
