* {COWPEAS AS FORAGE CROP. Recommended by Kansas Station 1 Where Alfalfa Cannot Be Growny. Cowpeas are recommended as a, for- age crop for some portions of Kausas where alfalfa cannot be grown suc- cessfully and as a silage crop when cown with corn or sorghum. The valie of cowpeas as a soil improve- ment crop is well known. “Cowpeas are adapted to a wide range of soils,” says Ralph Kenney. g% ' assistant professor of farm crops in .---._4- 5045052588 . > olo '~ goodies that just - ‘V X » the Kansas State Agricultural college. “They will grow on almost every Kan- «as type when supplied with the nec- essary amount of moisture and given good culture.

Dr. Eberle and Dr. Braithwaite ag well as Dr. Simon —all distinguished authors—agree that whatever may be the disease, the urine seldom fails in furnishing us with a clue to_the princi- ples upon which it is to be treated, and accurate knowledge concerning the nature of disease can thus be obtamed. If backache, scalding urine or frequent urination bother or distress you, or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheu- matism, gout or sciatica or you suspect kidney or bladder trouble just write Dr. Pierce at the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y.; send a sample of urine and de- seribe symptoms. — You will receive frea medical advice after Dr.Pierce’s chemist has examined the urine —this will be carefully done without charge, and you will be under no obligation.” Dr. Pierce during many genrs of experimentation has discovered a new remedy which he finds is thirty-seven times more power- ful than lithia in removing uric acid irom the system. If you are suffering from backache or the pains of rheuma- tism, go to your best druggist and ask for a 50-cent box of ‘‘Anuric’’ put up by Dr. Pierce. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription for weak women and Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery for the blood have been favorably known for the past forty years and more. They are standard remedies to-day—as well as Doctor Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets for the liver and bowels. You can get a sample of any one of these remedies by writing Dr, Pierce. Doctor Pierce’s Pellets are unequaled as a Liver Pill, One tiny, Sugar-coated Pellet a Dose. Cure Sick Headache, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Constipa- tion, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks, and all derangements of the Liver, Stomach and Bowels, MORE MEN THAN WOMEN HAVE APPENDICITIS Surgeons state men are slightly more subject to appendicitis than women. Bemidji people should know that a few doses of simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka, often relieve or prevent appendicitis. This mixture removes such surprising foul matter than ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY CASE of constipation, sour stomach or gas. The INSTANT, easy action of Adler-i-ka is surprising.

Such a mixture, however, is successful only on the best bottom lands of eastern Kansas, The yield of silage from corn or sorghum and cowpeas is about equal to corn alone. The silage from the mixture is much more nutritious than corn alone on account of the protein coutent of the cowpeas. When grown for this purpose the corn and cowpeas are mixed in equal portions by welght and drilled in rows the first week in June. The drill must be set to drill as fast as pos: e, and the mixture of corn and cowpeas must be stirred in the drill box frequently to prevent un- even p'anting. Cowpeas are also a profitable soiling erop.” ellent hay ray be obtained from cowpeas if properly handled, points out Mr. Kenney, but the difficulty of har- vesting and curing the lower yield and the woody stem make it less valuable for, than alfaifa. Cow s should not be cut for hay until the first pods are ripe. If cut be- fore this the plants will be watery and hard to cure. 1f cut later there will be a heavy loss of leaves, and the stems will be woody. If the cowpeas are wanted for seed they should not be cut until most of the pods are mature. In Kuansas cowpeas are an uncertain seed crop on account of weather con- ditions. Every farmer can usually raise enough seed, however, to supply his own sceds. Six to ten bushels.is an average seed crop. Cowpeas sell near $3 a bushel. Soil Improvement. The soil is improved very materially as a result of growing legumes for hogs and feeding extra grains to the animals. 80000000000000000000000000 o o § PLANT CORN RIGHT. 3 o 00000000000000000000000000 Good seed corn planted properly in a thoroughly prepared seed bed. means. @ good start toward a big crop.
