and Bowel Cleansing You Ever HadDoesn't Make You Sick!

Stop using calomel! It makes you
Blck. Don't lose a day's work. If you
feel lazy, sluggish, bilious or consti
pated, listen to me!
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
"which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes into contact
with sour bile, crashes into it, breaking
it up. This is when you feel that aw
ful nausea and cramping. If you feel
"all knocked out," if your liver is tor
pid and bowels constipated or you
have headache, dizziness, coated
tongue, if breath i3 bad or stomach
sour just try a spoonful of harmless
Dodson's Liver Tone.
Here's my guarantee Go to any
druc: store or dealer and get a 50-cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't straighten
you right up and make you feel fine
and vigorous I want you to go back to
the store and get your money. Dod
son's Liver Tone is destroying the
sale of calomel because it is real liver
medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore
It cannot salivate or make you sick.
I guarantee that one spoonful of
Dodson's Liver Tone will put your
sluggish liver to work and clean your
bowels of that sour bile and consti
pated waste which is clogging your
system and making you feel miserable.
I guarantee that a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone will keep your entire fam
ily feeling fine for months. Give it to
your children. It is harmless; doesn't
gripe and they like its pleasant taste.

"There's a Reason"
PLOWING, DISKING AND HARROWING WITH TRACTOR.
Prevent It by Using Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Trial Free.
To Prof. E. H. Doran, assistant pro
fessor of Agronomy, Louisiana State
university, whose work familiarizes
him with tractor operation, the follow
ing questions have been put as to his
ideas regarding the utilization of trac
tors on the farms and plantations of
this section:
1. Under what conditions is the trac
tor likely to be a profitable investment
for (a) the rice farmer, (b) the cotton
farmer, (c) the sugar planter? For ex
ample, what is the minimum size farm
in each case on which the tractor is
likely to be a profitable investment?
What are the advantages and disad
vantages of the tractor In . each of
these types of farming?
2. How many mules are used on say
a 30O-acre farm in the sugar, the rice
and the cotton belts respectively.
What proportion of these are likely to
be displaced when the light tractor is
used?
'A. What type of tractor Is likely to
be most useful for each of these types
of farming?
In answer to the above queries, and
taking up the question in order named,
Professor Doran writes as follows:
1. Since so much depends upon the
operator, the layout of the fields, and
the rotation of crops, it is difficult to
make even a guess as to the minimum
farm on which a tractor could be used,
but It certainly is not safe to put it
below 200 acres in any one of the three
instances.
In cane and cotton farming in the
South the land is seldom broken up
uniformly as in the north central
states, but It Is thrown up into rows
DRAINING WET LANDS
Operation Improves .Physical
Condition of the Soil.
Makes Ground More Porous and Fri
able and Therefore Easier to
Work Roots of Plants Given
Greater Feeding Depth.
Lands that are too wet for the most
profitable production of crops, such as
wet level land, low spots and the dry
subsoils of flat areas on the summits
of knolls, river and creek bottoms,
and peat bogs, should be drained.
Even uplands may often be drained
with profit, especially hillsides subject
to erosion or Inclined to be "spouty."
Indeed, drainage is profitable wher
ever it is necessary to the fullest use
even before it is planted. This "bedding-,"
as it is sometimes called, can
be done with the mule much better
than with mechanical power. The rea
son for all this is a long story and
we shall not go into It here.
In rice fanning the tractor can be
used for at least three general opera
tions : plowing, harrowing or disking,
and, in some cases, hauling binders
for cutting. It is more adaptable to
rice farming than to either of the
others.
2. On a 200-ncre sugar farm, ordinar
ily 20 mules would be used ; on a cot
ton farm of the same size ten mules;
and on a rice farm of this size about
eight mules.
The writer doubts very seriously If
a tractor would replace even a single
mule on the cotton and cane planta
tions, but on the rice farm of 20 acres
possibly four mules could be replaced
some seasons. Even in this case, how
ever, it would not be at all safe to de
pend upon the use of the tractor for
the cutting of the rice, because it Is
by no means always possible to run a
tractor over the land when rice Is har
vested. It is sometimes impossible to
use a binder, and the planter has to
resort to the old hand sickle. ,
3. For cotton and cane work two of
the prime pre-requisltes are short
turning radius and general ease of
handling. Otherwise, the type makes
no particular difference unless it is de
sired to use the tractor for cultivating
the growing crop. For rice work the
endless apron or caterpillar type might
be used some seasons where the round
wheel type could not be used.

(i. As few outlets of the main tile
as may be should be constructed and
these should be properly protected.
7. Silt wells or catch basins wherein
to catch sediment should be construct

of the land. It is not uncommon for
lands too wet for cultivation to pro
duce, when drained, GO to 70 bushels
of corn or oats or from one to one
and a half bales of cotton to the acre.
On much of the drained land the in
crease of yield is from 25 to 100 per
cent, and by the increased yield and
decreased cost of cultivation the value
of the land is often doubled.
Drainage improves tlie physical con
dition of the soil by making It more
porous and friable. Thus stiff soils
are made more easy to work. The
roots of plants are given a greater
feeding depth by tlie lowering of tlie
water level and hence the ability of
crops to utilize moisture is increased.
Well-drained soils also absorb more
rainfall than undraiued soils, thus de
creasing erosion and damage by floods.
The following, however, should be
borne in mind in connection with
drainage cperations :
L 3 he grade of the ditch should be
uniform and free from sags.
2. Tiw-ilt should be placed firmly
in the ditch with the ends as close
together as possible, the top- of the
joints particularly so.
3. All joints larger than one-eighth
of an inch should be covered with
pieces of broken tile.
4. Either top soil, sod, straw, grass
or fine brush should be placed next to
.he tile in soils where there is
.ianger in silting.
5. A droit should be provided from
Certain Precautions Should Be Taken
Before and After Operation
Provide Clean Lot.
In vaccinating hogs to prevent chol
era, certain precautions should be
taken, both before and after vaccina
tion, to Insure them against any ill
effects of the treatment that might
come about because of unsanitary con
ditions. Hogs that have mud or filth
on tlie body should not be vaccinated
until the dirt or filth is removed. No
feed should be given them the morn
ing they are to be vaccinated.
When ready for vaccination, the
point at which the serum is to be in
jected should be painted with tincture
of iodine to kill all germs around the
puncture made by the needle, and pre
vent sores from starting. After being
vaccinated, hogs should be placed in a
clean pasture or lot. Do not allow
them to have access to mud-holes or
dirty fallowing places. For at least
two weeks after vaccination do not
give the hogs any heating feed; give
a laxative diet. Clemson College Bulletin.
