Constipation and Indigestion.

These are twin evils. Persons
suffering from Indigestion are
often troubled with constipa-
ton. Mrs. Robert Allison, Mat
toon, ILL.,, writes that when she
first moved to Mattoon she was
a great sufferer from indigest-
ion and constipation. Food dis
tressed her and there was a feel
ing like a heavy weight pressing
on her stomach and chest. She
did not rest well at night, and
felt worn out a good part Of the
time. One bottle Of Chamber
lain's Tablets corrected this
trouble so that she has since felt
like a different person.

WHEAT CROP is
Corn Must Make Up Deficit for
Grain Shortage. Dean
MumfOrd Declares.

Corn must make up for the
shortage in the wheat and other
grain crops according to a state
ment which has been recently
made by Dean F. B. Mumford
of the College of Agriculture of
the University of Missouri.
"The United States produced
in 1915 ten bushels of wheat per
CAPITA" Dean Mumford declar-
es. "In 1916 we produced only
six bushels per capita. In 1916
we consumed for seed and ordi-
nary consumption six and one
third bushels per capita. There
was exported from American
ports in 1916 two and one-halfi
bushels per capita. Recent esti-
mates Of the world crop indicate
that there is a world shortage in
the present wheat harvest of
nearly 300 million bushels.
"The present condition Of
wheat is 60 per cent of normal.
Compared with a 1O-year aver
age, it is SO per cent normal

Nature Cures, The Doctor Takes
the Fee.

There is an old saying that
Mature cures, the doctor takes
the Fee" but as everyone knows
you can help Nature very much
and thereby enable it to effect a
cure in much less time than is
usually required. This is par
ticularly true of colds. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy re-
lieves the lungs, %liquifies the
tough mucus and aids in its ex-
pectoration, allays the cough
and aids Nature in restoring the
system to a healthy condition.

Navy or field beans is one Oh
the easiest crops to grow in Mis-
souri, and to the southwark.
Beans viii make a good yield on
poorer soil than almost any 9TH
Ter farm crop; they may be
planted then on soil which would
not produce a good corn crop.
Even on thin Missouri soils they
will not require fertilizers. They
can be planted late, after the
spring rush of other crops is
over, They will demand only one
third the cultivation required
for corn. In Missouri a yield of
from 10 to rs bushels may be
expected in a favorable season
and with average care. These
advantages together with their
high food value and the ease
with which they can be stored
make navy beans an excellent
war crop.
Field beans should be planted
any time between June Is and
the second week in July in Mis-
souri,. This gives time for pre-
yious blowing the soil to turn
under weeds, frequent discing or
narrowing to kill sprouting weed
seed and permits settling the
soil and preparing a fine seed
bed before the beans are plant
ed. If the soil is handled in this
manner, practically all the weeds
can be killed and most of the
cultivation completed before the
beans are planted.
The beans should be planted
20 pounds to the acre, l inch
deep and about 3 inches apart in
rows 20 to 36 inches apart to
admit horse cultivation. If corn
cultivators are to be used, it is
best to make the bean rows the
same distance apart as the corn
to avoid changing the cultiva-
tors.
AS soon as the beans are up,
they should be thoroly cultivat-
ed to break the crust. If the soil
is fine, this may be done with a
spike tooth harrow without kill
ing the plants. Only one or two
subsequent cultivatings will be
needed unless the land is weedy.
Beans should be harvested
when the seeds are fully ripe, in
small areas the plants may be
pulled by hand. AS the stems
get fully ripe, the roots rot suf-
ficiently that the plants fire.
quently may be gathered with a
horse rake.
Small lots of beans may be
thrashed on a barn floor with a
fail or stick. If grown on a large
scale, special bean threshers are
best the ordinary wheat thresh-
ers is often used tho it is like
ly to break some of the seed.
Skillful threshing machine men
often clamp a larger pulley on
the cylinder to reduce the speed
one-half and remove one-half
the teeth from the concave.
If the beans are to be stored
after threshing, weevil can be
kept out during the entire win
ter by fumigating once with car
bon bisulphide. If stored in large
quantity, | pound of carbon BIZ
sulphide should be used for a
space 10 feet wide, 10 feet long
and 10 feet high. The bin must
be tight to hold the fumes Of
the carbon bisulphide for %
hours. Carbeen bisulphide can
be poured on the top of the
beans. the fumes are innamable.
so the work should be done a.
way from any fire.
