Fall Plowing for Spring Crops.
One advantage of fall plowing is thai
It enables the land to absorb and stor
up more water for plant use than does
the unplowed solid land. Another it
that it dries out quicker, so that it can
be worked -earlier in- the spring. Th,
two statements may seem contradic
tory, but they are easily reconciled.
The water penetrates through the loos
furrows to the subsoil, where It re
mains to be drawn up by capillary at
traction as soon as the ground is work

warm. The water, being below the fur
row, does not make the ground a

Farm Notes.
The Importance of using plenty ol
seed may be mentioned from t lie fact
that only 30 per cent germinates on tin
average. The conditions of the soil,
kind of seed, Its age anil depth of the
planting must be considered, but th
rule to be observed Is to use rather
more seed than too little.
An excellent time to select seed corn
is when It Is being husked. All seed
corn should be kept In a dry place, and
if hung up where the air cat) circulate
through It so much the better. Id
some sect Ions seed corn Is Injured In
winter by severe cold, but tills danger
is not so great If the seed Is kept dry.
It is not a bad plan for any farmer
to have some ttpeclalty aside from hi
regular crops, If he Is not too short f"t
hep. Among the things to be suggest
ed a small area In some . one fruit
would be within reach of all. This
would afford a profit In the majority
of seasons, and every now and then
comes a year when a fruit crop If
worth a very handsome sum.
When the crops are removed from
tbe garden burn the ground over so an
to destroy the weeds and seeds. It
may then be plowed and seeded to rye
If not' too late In the season at the
time, the rye t0 l,c flowed under In
tbe spring. The object should be to
avoid having weeds In the garden so
na to render tbe work less difficult dur
ing the busy season, and If this mat
ter Is carefully attended to there will
be no weeds to kill lb two or thret
e a sons.

The Test of Time.
Mrs. Clara J. Sherbourne, Profession
al Nurse of 257 Cumberland Street,
Portland, Maine, says:
"I heartily wish those who suffer
from some disturbed action of the kid
neys would try Doan's Kidney Pills.
They would, like me, be more than
surprised. My back annoyed me for
years. Physicians who diagnosed my
case said it arose from my kidneys.
When the grip was epidemic, I was
worn out with constant nursing, and
when I contracted it myself It left me
in a very serious condition. I could
not straighten nor do the most trivial
act without being in torture. The kid
neys were too active or the secretions
were too copious, and I knew what
was wrong, but how to right it was a
mystery. It seems odd for a profes
sional nurse, who has had a great deal
of experience with medicines, to read
advertisements about Doan's Kidney
Pills in tbe newspapers, and it may
appear more singular for me to go to
II. II. Hay & Sou's drug store for a
box. But I did, however; and bad any
body told me before that it was possi
ble to get relief as quickly as I did I
would have been loth to believe it You
can send any one who wishes more
minute particulars about my case to
me, and I will be only too glad to tell
them personally. As long as 1 live I
will be a firm advocate of Doan's Kid
ney Piils.-'
Cure Confirmed Five Years Later.
"Lapse of time lias strengthened my
good opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills,
tirst expressed in the spring of 181)6,
I said then that had anybody told me
that It was possible to get relief as
quickly as I did I would have been
loth to believe it. Years have passed
and my continued freedom from kid
ney complaint has strengthened my
opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills and
given me n much higher appreciation
of their merits."
