tensively advertised all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotteng The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfil
the promises Of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine
A medicinal preparation 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,
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend. for in
almost every case il 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,
80 many people claim, that II fulflls almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder ailments. corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.

tree was a most delicious nut which
had been put there some time before
and which had been forgotten about.
But Chippy Chappy came Just as
SHARPLY was enjoying the nut.
Lets not play hide-and-seek any
more" said Chippy. II feel the need
Of little nourishment"
"Ah. but it's my nourishment," said
SHARPLY.
"But I am willing it should be mine,
too said Chippy Chappy.
ooh, but I'm not" said Sharry.
"But l am" said Chippy.
That's not fair said SHARPLY.
"who says 1t isn't fair7" asked
Chippy.
II do" said SHARPLY.
81 don't" said Chlppy. "And I'm
as good judge as you are"
you're not" said SHARPLY.
81 am" said Chippy.
"But say you're not" said SHARPLY.
"But / say / am" said Chlppy.
And there they sat and scolded each
other until the afternoon had almost
gone.
And the great joke of 1t all was that
while they were scolding over one nut
the other squirrels had been jumping
from place to place and had had most
astonishing luck in finding good things
to eat.
But the quarreling Of Chippy and
SHARPLY took so much time that they
missed all the real feast.
1t was nighttime when they had
finished arguing, but by that time both
of them were too tired to scold any
more.
And so they went to bed and TO
sleep. weary and worn out. And also
with very empty little tummles.
The exercise they had had made
them hungry, but alas, they were too
tired to get their food and no one else
seemed to feel like handing IT to them
on a tree tray.
No, the others did not seem to feel
like waiting on Chippy Chappy and
SHARPLY the squirrel but seemed to
think 1t was a great joke that they had
wasted their time In an argument over
one poor little nut.

Moldy Sweet Clover Is
Dangerous Cattle Feed

Moldy sweet clover may cause for
age poisoning of cattle, according to
DR.. Geo. II. Glover Of the Colorado ag-
ricultural college. He says that for
age poisoning caused by the damaged
clover stimulates both hemorrhaqc
septlcemia and black leg, but is not re-
lated to either Of them. Experiments
conducted In Canntla seem to have
demonstrated. quite cOnclusively that
the disease reproduced by a toxic sub
stance which IS present in moldy sweet
clover MoidS foods are always under
suspicion but damaged sweet clover
is to be especially avoided. The dis
ease never follows the feeding Of good
sweet clover or ensilage.
The poisonous substance produces
the disease by its effect upon the It's
sues Of vital organs, destroying red
blood cells, causing delayed coagnla-
tiOn and hemorrhages throughout the
body. Young cattle appear to be most
susceptible.

He had been named after his

Chappy And SHARPLY agreed, because
II neither Of them played "it' they
couldn't have the game.
SHARPLY chased Chippy Chappy from
one tree TO another. At one time
Chippy Chappy jumped a great big
jump, but SHARPLY was after him.
Then Chlppy Chappy jumped another
enormous big jump but SHARPLY didn't
like that so wen.
He jumped though and tagged

Then Chippy Chappy chased SHARPLY
and SHARPLY ran down the side of a
tree and along the lawn and came to
another tree.
He got quite far ahead of Chippy
Chappy doing this as Chippy Chappy
hadn't thought he would run down the

But Chippy Chappy hurried after

For a hog pasture sow about four
bushels of oats per acre. about FIVE

sudan grass and, If your land will grow
clover, you should add some sweet
clover seed and some alsike clover, sew

Is heavy seeding. but these plants are

Soy Beans Make
Very Good Feed
Experiments Prove Worth of
Valuable Crop for Increas-
ing Flow of Milk.

IN a number Of tests made by sew
eral experiment stations with soy
beans, the results showed this crop TO
be very valuable feed for dairy
cows, as the animals used In the test
showed good gains In flesh and milk
production.
The Tennessee agricultural expert
ment station conducted q feeding test
with milk cows, comparing soy bean
and alfalfa hay in combination with
corn sllage. and corn and cob meal.
Each lot Of cows consisted Of four
Jerseys and the test lasted through
three periods of 30 days each. At the
conclusion Of the tests, the results
showed that the lot fed soy bean hay
produced PAS pounds more milk and
2O5 pounds more butterfat than the
lot receiving alfalfa hay.
Average Hay Yield.
The soy bean will yield from one to
three tons Of hay to the acre and oc-
casionaliy four tons. depending upon
the fertility OF the soil and the season.
Under favorable conditions soy beans
should average two tons to the acre
The soy bean also forms a valuable
supplement TO corn for ensilage. Corn
In itself makes rather a wide ration
and should be supplemented with
feeds richer In protein to balance the
ration. The Maine agricultural ex.

found the cows on soy bean and corn
silage with one pound less grain did
practically as well as on corn silnge.
In all feeding tests with soy beans
and corn silage, the animals showed
good gnins in flesh and milk prOduc-
tion.
Fertillzlng Value.
The fertlIlzing value OF a crop Of
soy beans compares favorably with
that Of other legumes. The Kansas
agricultural experiment station re-
ports an increase Of IA bushels Of
corn to the acre where corn followed
soy beans In alternate years as com
pared with corn grown continually.
Soy beans may be planted any tine
after corn planting time.
