STOMACH TROUBLES
Mr* Ragland Writes
Letter on This SvbjecL
Madison Heights, Va.—Mr. Chas. A.
Ragland, of this place, writes: “I have
been taking Thedford’s Black-Draught
for indigestion, and other stomach troub
les, also colds, and find it to be the very
best medicine I have ever used.
After taking Black-Draught for a few j
days, I always feel like a new man.” !
Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pain
in pit of stomach, and a feeling of full
ness after eating, are sure symptoms ol
stomach trouble, and should be given the
proper treatment, as your strength and
health depend very largely upon your
food and its digestion.
To get quick and permanent relief
from these ailments, you should take
a medicine of known curative merit.
Its 75 years of splendid success, in the
treatment of just such troubles, proves
the real merit of Thedford’s Black
Draught. Safe, pleasant, gentle in action,
and without bad after-effects, it is sure
to benefit both young and old. For sale
everywhere. P~ct; 25c. n. c m 1

Plow Shallow to
Retain Moisture
And Keep The Soil in Condi
tion To Withstand Any
Drouth.
j The presence of dogwood blos
soms remind us that it is time
for corn to be planted. In fact,
I thousands of acres have been
planted and much of it '.s coming
up. Good preparation of the
land is half the battle in making
a good crop The corn and cot
ton should both be planted in
flat seed beds if practical. If
the ground is too low, then bed
it just enough to protect from
standing water. After plant
ing if a baking rain forms a
crust the harrow' should be run
over before the crop comes up.
The first plowing of corn may
be deep if it is thought best.
After that, cultivate shallow' and
level. Tw'o inches is deep e
nough. Good seed, good land
preparation, and keeping out the
w'eeds and grass, are the main
things that man can do to make
a crop. The stirring of the soil
has something to do with the
moisture and the letting of air
into the soil. Shallow cultiva
tion tends to hold the moisture
and deep cultivation turns up
the moist earth so the moisture
will evaporate and escape.
A recent experiment was made
in Illinois tnat will prove inter
esting- Six different methods
were employed in corn cultiva
tion in the same field, all the
land being prepared alike and
planted alike. In the first the
crop was not plowed or cultivat
ed at all, but the weeds and
grass were scraped away with a
hoe. The crop made 68.2 bush
els to the acre. In the second,
the crop had four shallow culti
vations and made 70.3 bushels to
the acre. In the third there were
four deep cultivations, and the
crop made 66.7 bushels to the
acre. In the fourth the crop had
eight shallow cultivations, and
made 72.8 bushels to the acre.
In the fifth case the crop had
eight deep cultivations, and made
64.5 bushels to the acre. In the
sixth there was no cultivation at
all, and no crop was made. If
the experiment had been made
during a drouth or dry season
the difference would have been
greater.
Cow peas have been scarce and
high this year. Do not fail to
grow some this season. Plant a
few acres in the drill and gath
er and thresh them. Get you a
pea thresher. They are not ex
pensive, and are useful. Every
farm should have one. Plant peas
on every run down part of the
farm, and be sure to folow your
oats with peas.
By all means provide a good
pasture. You will need it for
your work stock. A good pas
ture saves lots of money. It will
keep the stock going on light
leed when not at work. Remem
ber that it costs about twice as
much to feed a work horse as it
does to feed a farm hand. Every
hour the work stock spends in
a good pasture is a saving of
money. Pasture for the summer
and hay and forage crops for the
winter will help you to be a suc
cess as a farmer.

Commissioner of Agriculture.
