The following suggestions can generally be followed with proli -': 1. We prefer deep tall breaking * plowing) for coru. 2. It should be done with a disc or sub-soil plow so as not to bring to the surface too much of the uu-aired subsoil. 3 In sections of very light winter ramtall toe held should b* disced or harrowed at once after breaking, but where the Winter rains art abundant the breaking should be left in the furrow. 4. : 1 no tall breaking was done, c: mmeuce as early as conditions permit in the spring: break 8 to 10 inches deep with a disc or subsoil plow and cross plow r nee with the same implements. Then, whether tail or spring broken, work the land with disc or harrow aud continue till the soil is fine as powder. Repeat the process just before planting. Pulverizing with the harrow should be about tour inches deep. redding ur. Bedding up for corn is always advieablein territory of considerable rainfall; with lighter pre cipiration and good drainage ou loamy soils, Hat planting is the better. In either case the seed bed should be thoroughly pulverized. Delay planting till wife from frost. distance between rows.

You must not diet, because the body requires that you eat a sufflo i lent amount of food regularly. But this food must be digested, and It must be digested thoroughly. When the stomach can't do It* you must take nomethtng that will help the stomach. The proper way to do is to eat j what you want, and let Kodol digest the food. Nothing else can do this.
