JAPAN CLOVER FOR TENNESSEE

Japan clover, also known as Lespe-
deza, which has been common
throughout the South for years and
which was long regarded as com
mon, undesirable plant with no value
has been made valuable crop in Ten
nessee thru experiments of the Col
lege of Agriculture, University of
Tennessee. Prof. S. H. Essary, of
the college has developed three var
ieties, one that grows upward like
other clovers instead of spreading on
the ground, one pasturage and one
for cultivation in sections of the
State where the seasons are short.
Prof. Essary has just prepared a
bulletin which deals with the develop
ment, habits importance and methods
for seeding and cultivation, ETC., Of
the crop. He says that it ranks well
with alfalfa and the clovers as val
liable forage plant, and is superior to
them in many sections, especially as
a renovator of worn lands. 1t grows
in allsparts of Tennessee, but ranks
In Importance with other legumes on
ly in Western part of the State at
this time. However it promises to
become asleading crop throughout the
State which will mean millions to
farmers of the State.
The College of Agriculture has had
Prof. Essary's bulletin on Lespedeza
printed for free distribution to the
farmers of the State. 1t is Bulletin

FREE STOCK SHED FOR
FARMERS.

We appreciate the trade of the
farmers enough to give $4,000 land
more if necessary to build a first
class shed for them under which to
hitch their stock. We often hear
farmers complaining that tafter Mr..
Oakley's barn is full there is not a
place in Lexington to get their stock
out Of the rain or snow. We appeal
to the merchants of Lexington to add
to this fund and let's get busy and
build one some place for this purpose,
1t would induce trade to come here,
We think our farmer friends are en-
titled to a good place to hitch their
stock. Merchants of Lexington, LET
us hear from you on this proposition
We are in earnest about the matter

WHOOPING COUGH.

This is a very dangerous disease,
particularly to children under five
years of age, but when no paregoric,
codene of other opiate is given, is
easily cured by giving Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. Most people believe
that it must run its course, not know
ing that the time is very much short

from the disease when this remedy
is given. 1t has been used in many
