RIGHT TIME TO APPLY LIME
If Badly Needed It May Be Spread
on Winter Wheat in Spring and
Lightly Narrowed.

The best time to apply lime is when
land is being prepared for wheat in
fall. 1t should be spread on the plowed
ground and narrowed in. Lining corn
land that is to be followed by a grain
crop with clover is also good practice.
If lime is badly needed it may be
spread on the winter wheat in the
spring and lightly narrowed in. 1t
will not be as effective as If 1t had
been put on last fall but it will help
some. If clover is to be seeded with a
spring grain crop, lime can be applied
when preparing the land for this crop
The precise amount of lime to use
in each case can be determined only
by chemical means, and the various
methods for determining the lime re-
quirement Of soils do not always yield
uniform results, says the United
States department of agriculture. For
the farmer the response of the clover
crop is the best test By lining a field
at two or three rates and leaving q
strip unlimed the farmer can get
clover to tell the story itself. AS a
general rule, which is useful as a
starting point, two tons of ground
limestone or one ton of burnt lime an
acre will put most land in shape to
grow clover.

FARMER IS MORE EFFICIENT

workday of ten hours in the middle of
the last century, when he husked and
shelled by hand and turned the crank
of q fodder cutter. The average rose
to 141a bushels half a century later
when he used a gang pillow, disk har-
row, corn planter, self-binder for cut
ting, husker and fodder cutter, and a
Smelling machine, says the United
States department of agriculture. Be

agriculture If the corn was husked
from standing stalks and these left in
the field, and the corn was not shelled,
the gain in production per day Of
farmers labor was from 10 bushels in
the earlier time to 261A bushels in the
later.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
: medicinal preparT lion that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al.
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments: corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
