then the seed is sown with no special

used, but the practice is by no means

portant that the soil be sweetened by
the liberal use of lime. Glover thrives
best in an alkaline soil. 1t is not alb
solutely necessary, however, that the
lime be applied prior to planting on
the raw soil because the clover makes
little growth until May and June Of the
following year. 1t is undoubtedly best,
though, because it permits working 1t

inconvenient to put the lime on be-
fore planting, it should be applied any
time before the wheat is up threA or

may be profitably applied in mid

1t must also be remembered In plant

breaking the Jumps. 1t makes the soil
loose and assists in crumbling the hard

The Relative Action OF Each In
improving the Chemical and
: Mechanical Conditions of Soils.
Assists In Decomposition of Or
ganic Matter for Humus Sup
ply.
Makes HcaNy Soils More crurbiy and
Eriabie for Better Rect
Penetration.

The actions OF lime on soils are
many fold. 1t is the common impress
sion among many that 1t Is Of value
only on low wet land which is common
ly assumed to be sour. Many persons
realize that soils become sour under
cultivation and that lime corrects
acidity, but there are few who really
realize the importance Of its use or
the relative value Of the different
forms and the action Of each On the
other hand, many farmers buy what
ever may be had without full consid-
Grafton of the relative value of the diff
ferent materials that may be applied.
Lime Is a plant food. and In many
cases it's application may serve that
function. Generally soils contain
enough calcium to supply the require
ments Of crops, but alfalfa and other
closely related crops require not only
a sweet soil, but enough lime to sup
ply their large needs of that element.
The indirect actions of lime are even
greater than its effects as a food.
These effects are numerous and are
not the same on all soils In heavy
soils lime improves the mechanical
condition and the capacity to take up
and hold moisture. 1t acts upon the
supply of plant food stored in the soil
and assists the decomposition OF or
ganic matter and mineral substances.
Most important of all is the influence
which lime exerts upon the micro
scopic life of the soil, so essential in
changing dormant to active forms of
plant food.
The mechanical effects of lime are
intricate in nature and less we'll I'M
derstood than the chemical and bac-
THEOLOGICAL effects, and yet they are
very important, though they are not
so easily measured.
Burned lines are more effective m
this change than carbonate Cline

used burned, hydrared or prepared
slaked lime has undoubtedly noticed
that heavy soils become less sticky.
more crumbly, more friable, more east
ly cultivated, and water passes through
them more rapidly as a result of in
creased porosity. They dry out more
readily after a rain, and in spring,
blowing or planting is advanced. This
condition Is brought about by the fioc-
culation or aggregation of the fine clay
particles.
Upon light soils the reverse is true
Through the improved condition of the
humus in the soil an application OF
lime increases the cohesive power OF
the soil, resulting in a greater water
holding capacity, as well as an increas-
ed power to absorb moisture from be.
low by capillarity. While the reasons
are not clear, it is common experience
that limestone is not as effective In
producing these physical effects on the
soil as is lime. Relatively small ap-
plications of lime may produce a very
marked change in the character Of the
soil. These physical effects are merely
supplemental to the chemical and bio
logical effects produced by lime, and
when all these are taken together they
account for the very general beneficial
results derived from the use Of lime.

SOIL FERTILITY,
ACTUAL AND POTENTIAL.

Because many conditions influence
"soil fertility" it is not easily defined
In a broad sense 1t means the power
or ability of soil to produce crops I'M
der certain definite conditions which
cannot be changed by man. On the
other hand, certain phases Of fertility
are distinctly dependent upon man.
Potential fertility Is measured by the
total content of food elements in the
soil, whereas actual fertility is that
part of the potential fertility which Is
in such form that it may be used by
the plant. 1t is, therefore, the farm
ers mission to so work his soil as to
increase the amount of actual fertility
by changing the form Of part of the
potential fertility to form disable by
the plant. ~

DON'T. PUT OFF GETTING WELL:
TOMORROW may Be TOO LATE
Each Day. Delay Gives Fnmer Hold on Your Vta Begin
Now Treating Yourself With Natures Own
Remedy Dreco

A well known -authority has said
that the greatest cause of disease is
the fact that too many people who are
sick and ailing put off doing what will
help them to regain their normal
health and strength. They go about
from day to day, in their miserable
condition, apparently trusting to Prov
idence to aid them in some way.
Nothing could be worse. The first
symptom of disease should arouse the
victim to action, like an alarm of fire,
or the warning of a great flood. The
same human impulse that causes
people to heed these warnings, should
stir them to the sense of impending
danger when Nature warns that dis
the human system.
No one is more considerate than
Nature. Her warnings of impending
disease and illness come far enough
in advance so that the menacing
troubles may be checked before they
take inroads into the health. 1t is
just a question of employing the prop
err medicine.
The first warnings of disease are
usually given by aches or pains here
and there in various parts of the body
A general weakness, emaciation, or
lack of vitality may then perhaps en-
sue. The appetite dwindles, consti-
patton sets in, usually leading to some
of the many forms of stomach dis
order. The blood becomes impov-
erished and fails to nourish properly
the nerve tissues, or give the required
aid to the liver, bowels, kidney or
bladder, thus rendering them power
less to function properly. With these
conditions neglected the whole sys-
tenn Is left open to the ravages OF
many organic diseases that perma.
nently impair and ruin the health
At the first warning of sickness, a
dependable medicine should be used
There is nothing better than Dreco
the herbal medicine for treatment OF
such conditions. Dreco works along
common sense lines and combats Ma
lures ills and Natures way. Its mis-
sion is to go Immediately to the source
of trouble, and tends first to stimu

This results in the making of good

medicine is backed by hundreds of
signed statements from grateful people,
in all sections who tell in their own
words what it had accomplished for
them. Many say that Dreco gave them
permanent and lasting results after
many other medicines had failed to
benefit in the least. A large number

"My troubles are much better now"
she says happily. She has taken three
