SON CLOVER. . IT GIVES. NEW LIFE TO SOIL "I tome with new life and hope for the barren hillside, the (rallied slopes, i the wn-out field'; "witlT "a" carpet of blessed green for the revolting naked- ' ns of -stripped,-impoverished acres; with cheer and promise for the wqrk weary, nit-travc-ling husbandman. The lowing l.crds and gamboling flocks come at the call of my' beskoriing - green, and through them . I vouchsafe f- to man the blessings of food and rai ment. Long before man dreamed ev en of its presence I, reached out and gatherod to the earth of the best stores of plant food that lie all a x)uv, consecrating them to hin and Iv'a c-hil , dren's happiness. I am the rtiagic key that opens wide tho earth's rich nesses, that Nature, alarmed, has elop ed against the despoiling hand of the unwise tiller of the soil. W'thout me rural civilization dims and decays; where I am not, great nations and people cannot be. My mission is ser vice to make new soils for old, new .farms for old, new farmers for old. .That these may be, and grow, and be 4 come great, I willingly live for a brief '- 4 season and go back to Mother Earth, to meWow her bosom and to augment her beauty." B. L. B. in The Progres sive Farmer. The Slogan in this county has been c to paint the farms red with crimson clover. September is the best month to sow but it will do to sow with the wheat in October. It may be sown when conditions are right Every farmer should sow at least tut acre. Some farmers have complet ed sowing and have five leaves on the plant. 1 It is easy to grow. Here are a few simple rales: I Use 15 pounds of seed per acre. Inoculate seed as per instructions. The government is grviag free inocula tion for two bushels of each legume you wish to try. Your county agent will be glad to furnish you wjth the application blanks or fill your order for you. Select a well-drained soil As good land as you have apply not Jess than 1000 pounds of lime per ere, dies thoroughly, then se the smoothing harrow. If the sun is shin ing hot sow seed late In the evening, as the hot son will kill your inoculat ing germs. Cover lightly with weed er, brush or smoothing harrow. Do this when a good season is in the g&tlh4:'Avfig1rt Ca ble manure when clover is up will give fine results. "his is for the seed pateh. Where peas are'growing-your chances are good .' for clover.' Dont' plow under the vines, 'just' cut them' up with a disc harrow and sow your seed, covering lightly. tMa'nVTarmefs' are succeeding well by just "sowing theft seed down among he corn and cotton at last cultivation and "harrowing; This is where the. land is inoculated. But the bjeet of this article- is to get every farmer who needs it to sow a seed patch, and sow at once. Any in formation or help needed can be had for the asking. The advantages to be derived from clover sowing are too many to be given in one article. A few are: 1. To improve the coil. As a hay crop. As a winter cover crop. For early spring grazing. To keep the land from leaching. For re-seeding your farm and selling seed to your less progressive neighbors. Every farm demonstrator in the State will tell you if you inoculate the soil and properly prepare the seed bed, clover will grow on almost any kind of soil. We Tatter) n.'

DOUBLE BIRTHDAY DINNER Last Saturday morning there began to assemble men, women and children at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Rains until just about one hundred including children, grand children and great grand children, kinsfolk, neigh bors and friends were present. At twelve o'olock they had erected a ta ble about 36 feet in length and cov ered it with all the good things to eat the body or heart would or could desire. A more bountiful and neatly arrang ed table for an occasion of that kind never has it been the pleasure of this writer to behold. And after appro priate remarks, thanks and invocation of God's blessing on all present, all enjoyed to their full satisfaction the good things which had been so nicely prepared for the occasion. Mr. Rains was passing his 71st milepost, Mrs. Rains her 76th. May they live to witness many more like occasions and may their last days be their sweetest and best ones. T. J. GREEN.

Stand ard Drug Co. Time is the best test of truth. Here is an Asheboro story that has stood the test of time. It is a story with a point which will come straight home to many of us. Mrs. R. E. Wooded, Salisbury St., Asheboro, says: "I suffered a great deal from a lame and aching back. My kidneys were weak and I had dull headaches.' Being told that Doan's Kidney Pills were good medicine, I got some from the Standard Drug Co. Two or three boxes fixed me up good shape." (Statement given January 2, 1908). OVER SEVEN YEARS LATER Mrs.; Woodell said: "I still hold a high opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills. nave never found anything equal to them for backache and other kid ney disorders." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the 6ame that Mrs. Woodell had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. CALOMEL DYNAMITES A SLUGGISH LIVER Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making Yon Sick and You Lose a Day's Work. Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynnmite on a slug gish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing sramping and nausea. If you feel bilious, headachy, con stipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 50 cent bot tle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without mak ing you sick, you just go back and get your money. If you take calomel today youH be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up reeling great, run of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harm less, pleasant and safe to give to children; they like it. Having made a treaty with Turkey and obtained some land, Bulgaria now seems unlikely to eater the war. The army in the field is being mustered out, and the- soldiers of the 1912 class bave been discharged. . Both Mt. Etna and Mt.
