ACUTE INDIGESTION
SOON RELIEVED
Arkansas Lady Says She Was In
a Serious Condition, But
Promptly Recovered After
Taking Thedford's
Iack-Draught.

Peach Orchard, Ark.-Mrs. Eta
Cox, of this place, says: "Some time
ago 1 had a spell of acute indigestion,
and was in a bad fix. I knew I must
have a laxative, and tried Black
Draught. 1t relieved me, and soon
was all right.
81 can't say enough for Thedford's
Black-Draught, and the great good
it did for me.
sit is fine for stomach and liver
trouble, and I keep it for this. A few
doses soon make me feel as good as
new. I am glad to tell others the
good it did"
Acute indigestion is a serious matter
and needs prompt treatment or dan
gerous results may ensue. A physi-
clans help may be needed, but a
good dose of Thedfords Black-Draught
will be of benefit by relieving the
system from the undigested food
which is the cause of the trouble.
Thedford's Black Draught is purely
vegetable, not disagreeable to take
and acts in a prompt and natural way.
So many thousands of persons have
been benefited by the use of Thed-
ford's Black-Draught, you should have
no hesitancy in trying this valu-
able, old well-established remedy, for
most liver and stomach disorders.

Rarhed Wire Disease.

The name "barbed wire disease" as
applied to certain war-stricken vic
tins, is believed to have originated in
Switzerland, and it applies to a very
marked functional mental disorder.
The symptoms, recognizable in most
men confined more than six months
behind barbed wire fencing, are Sc
we're in about 10 per cent Of all prison
ers. Increased irritability appears
first, followed by diminished power OF
concentration, and there Is much COM
plant of loss of memory of persons
and places. Insomnia is a secondary
symptom. Some prisoners have dimin-
ished eyesight, many grow suspt-
cious, all tend to pessimism.

thrashed with little splitting. Some
manufacturers have special pea and
bean hulling attachments for grain
separators, which are said to do salts
factory work. These attachments may
be added to the ordinary separator at
small cost.
Special pea and bean separators of
different sizes are now on the market.
These types of machines do clean hull
ing and split practically none Of the
beans. Undoubtedly such separa-
tors are more satisfactory and eco
nomical where a considerable acreage
of beans is grown. In sections where
there is extensive seed production, in
vestment in such a machine by the
community would be profitable. Soy
beans, if thoroughly dry, can easily be
thrashed with fail. In only small
acreage-an acre or sO-thiS method
is practicable and economical. In a
few sections a corn shredder has been
used to advantage. If properly cured
and dried, the beans shell out readily
with this machine.
Straw Makes Good Feed.
The straw obtained from thrashing
the soy bean for seed is a valuable
feed for all kinds of stock. In many
sections the straw is baled at the
time of thrashing and sold In the i'm
mediate locality to liverymen, dairy
men, and stock feeders.
AS soy-bean seed spoils easily, If
not properly handled, care should be
exercised in curing and storing. After
the beans are thrashed they should
be watched carefully to avoid heat
ing and molding. When thoroughly
dry there is no such danger. The best
plan, perhaps, is to spread the seeds
out on a floor Immediately after
thrashing and shovel them over from
time to time until they are thorough
dry. After this they may be safe
ly put into sacks or bins. The
storeroom should be dry and have a
free circulation of air. Soy-bean seed
loses its viability rapidly, and it is
not safe to hold seed for planting pur-
poses more than two seasons. The
seeds of the soy bean, unlike those
of the cowpea, are rarely attacked by
weevils or other grain insects.

ANNUAL TIME OF TROUBLE
HousecIeaning Date May Change, but
Its Consequences Can by No

and may be expected to show many Of

Reaper Used In Cutting Soy Beans.


where such an appliance is not avail
able, a man can follow the machine
with pitchfork and remove the plants
at every round out of the way of the
team, for if trampled upon many OF
the seeds will be shelled out and
wasted. The shelf-rake reaper, which
really is a moving machine provided
with punching attachment, gives sat
isfactory results, as it harvests the
crop without exposing it to injury.
When cut with q moving machine or
with a self-rake reaper, the beans may
be raked in small piles or placed in
small shocks. These piles or shocks
should be left for four or five days
in good drying weather or until the
grain is found to be fairly dry In the
pods. Wet weather does not injure
the crop seriously, provided the plants
are not allowed to rest on the ground
for any length Of time.
Where a binder is used the bound
bundles should be shocked eight or ten
TO a shock and allowed to remain until
thoroughly dry. Hay caps are not nee
essary when the piles or bundles are
shocked properly. They may remain
in the field until thrashing time or If
thoroughly dry they may be housed
and thrashed later. The cured plants
are ordinarily gathered from the field
by hand, but the web loader commonly
used for haying will do the work more
RAPIDLY and with less loss of seed than
the hand methods.
Should Adjust Separator.
The ordinary grain separator can be
adjusted to thrash any beans success
fully, but as equipped for small grains
a large percentage of cracked beans
will result The chief cause of split
beans is the high speed of the cylinder,
which should be reduced at least one
half, although the speed of the fans
and other parts of the separator
should be maintained. This may be
accomplished by doubling the size of
both cylinder pulleys. In some cases
a special set of thin concaves is used,
while in other instances some of the
concaves are removed. Good judg-
ment on the part of the thrasherman
will enable him to adjust the ordinary
separator so that the beans may be

Select q well-elevated plot of ground

water table is too close to the surface
the land must be plowed in such way

provided between the rows of the
trees. If the trees are planted on up.

they should be planted two inches

varieties not suited to the locality in
which they are to be grown.

With the widely increased popular
ity of the soy bean the harvest of the
crop has gained markedly in impor-
lance in practically every section OF
the country. According to specialists
the fact that practical and satisfactory
bean harvesters are now on the mar
ket at comparatively reasonable prices
and are efficient for harvesting the
crop either when grown under level
or ridged-row methods of cultivation,
greatly increases the value Of this
crop not only as a forage for live
stock, but also for human food pur-
poses.
The most common type of special
bean harvester is a two-wheeled, box
like machine which is drawn by two
horses. AS the machine passes over
the row of plants four sets of rapidly
revolving arms shatter the beans from
the pods into the body Of the har-
vester. While the machine moves
along the row the seed is gradually

the operators. Under favorable condi-
lions two men with a team can har-
vest-and harvesting means cutting
and thrashing the crop in one opera
tion-One acre Of beans in two hours
by this method where the yield is
about 20 bushels to the acre. Although
there is some loss of beans it is more
than compensated by the saving of
time and labor as compared with har-
vesting in other ways.
If the plants are not too coarse the
self-binder can also be used to good
advantage in the harvest of the taller
growing varieties of beans. This meth
cd is gaining favor rapidly in many
sections, as the average grower owns
a grain binder, while, as a rule, unless
he intends to produce soy beans as
regular rotation crop it will not pay
him individually to purchase a special
bean harvester. But where several
farmers in the neighborhood can CO.
operatively buy this equipment such
procedure is commendable. For the
best results, where the grain binder
is used, the plants should be cut while
some of the leaves are still retained
as then the harvesting is easier and
no loss results from shattering.
Moving Machine Used.
The moving machine is also used to
a considerable extent in saving the
soy-bean crop. Generally where this
implement is used it is advisable to
have a side-delivery attachment, in
order that the horses will not trample
on the swath of cut beans. However,

Get READY
FOR FLU
Keep Your Liver Active, Your
System Purified and Free From
Colds by Taking Calotabs,
the Nausealess Calomel

liver favor colds, influenza and serious
complications.
To cut short a cold overnight and to
prevent serious complications take one
Calotab at bedtime with a swallow Of
water-that' Is all. No salts, no nausea,
no gripping, no sickening after effects.
Next morning your cold has vanished,
your liver is active, your system is puri-
fed and refreshed and you are feeling
fine with hearty appetite for break
fast. Eat what you please--no danger:
Calotabs are sold only in soriginal
sealed packages, price thirty-fve cents.
Every druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not perfectly
delighted with Calotabs.-(Adv.)

WASH KEEPS RABBITS AWAY
Formula Suggested by D. A. Gilchrist
of Biological Survey as Protee-
ton for Trees.

The following formula is suggested
by d. A. Gilchrist, United States bio
logical survey as an effective tree
wash for protection against rabbits,
enemies of young fruit trees:
Dissolve one ounce Of strychnine sui
plate in three quarts of boiling water
and add one-half pint Of laundry
starch, previously dissolved in one
pint of cold water. Boil this mixture
until it becomes a clear paste. Add
one ounce of glycerine and stir thor
oughly. When sufficiently cool, apply
to trunks of trees, with paint brush.
Rabbits that gnaw the bark will be
killed before the tree is injured.
Note: 1t is probable that one-half
pint of molasses may be substituted
for one ounce of glycerine.

DON'T NEGLECT SMALL FRUIT
Should Be Planted First Because They
Come Into Bearing Before
Larger Trees.

One of the mistakes made by many
when setting out the first fruits is to
plant apple trees and neglect the small
fruits. The small fruits should be
planted first or at least as soon as any,
because they come into bearing first
and will produce a lot of the needed
fruit while one is waiting on the
apples.
