'FARMERS LAYING FOIINI
I PROGRAM INCLUDES "LIME,
Worth Carolina Sets Example fi
Bins At Raili
(By W. M.
- j Fanners In many sections ,of >the
I South are laying a good foundation
| for prosperity by adopting a: system of
;<Krerslfled fanning that includes livestock
in its program. They are liming
their lands, raising so? beans, clo ver
and alfalfa, sowing winter cover
crops to.conserve their soils and establishing
permanent pastures.
We pass same badly managed and
nnpovensnea xarms in uiese sections,
however, when looking for examples
of Improvement along these lines?
the farmer who Is helping to bring his
section to the front in soil building
mod crop improvement work, and in
livestock raising, has some neighbors
who are still plodding in the old ruts.
It Is probable that more good examples
of progress In the business of
farming, and of effective eo-operation i
between business' men and farmers, '
can be found in the Piedmont region j
of North Carolina than in any other i
part of the South, and It seems thar '
there are more active county agents :
there than In other sections, if we are !
to judge by results of work reported, j
Building Limestone Storage Bins At !
Railway Stations
The farmers of North Carolina may |
complain of hard times as others are
doing, and with the same good reasons,
but many of them are busy just
now laying a foundation for future

prosperity. They have learned by |
means of object lessons, as well as i
from reports on soil improvement and j
Increased crop production issued by j
their State Experiment Station, that !
"Limestone is the mother and founda- !
Hon of all soil fertilization and that j
noil fertilization is the mother and j
"" foundation of civilization," and for 1
many years the use of lime has been j
general on farms in that Stale. The |
trouble however, has been the same i
as that experienced in all sections of j
the country where limestone must be <
shipped in by car loads. Many were j
deterred from using it by reason of !
the facts that it had to bd? purchased !
in car lots, and unloaded and hauled j
to the farms regardless of other pressing
farm work or weather conditions.
This difficulty was met and overcome
some years ago by farmers' organiza
tlons In Ohio, Illinois, Virginia ami i
other States by building limestone bins j
at railway stations where pulverized |
limestone could be stored and sold In j
any quantity to members of the asso^ \
elationb and others?farmers coming;
to town with loads of produce, taking !
back loads of limestone and spreading j
It on their lands with little loss _of j
time and at small expense. It was I
not surprising, therefore, to leari^. that j
farmers of North Carolina ware adopt- !
ing this plan, and that bankers and '
other business men were co-operating j
with them in erecting storage bins on '
railroad sidirlgs at points convenient |
for serving large agricultural com-j
luunities, because, as intimated above, '
fhe "tar-heels" seem to keep in the ,
front ranks of progressive agricultural j
nwements, as they did in other move

that name by leading, and "sticking*
fast to the ground they gained.
The writer attended a meeting ?{
farmers in that State last November.
It was called to celebrate the completion
of a limestone storage bin, which
had been erected by a prosperous and
enterprising farmer and a banker of
that QOAflnn Thr?on iranflamAn

the bin to be operated for the benefit
of the community, the charges for operating
to be just enough to cover, the
cost of handling material. They had
used lime for years on their own
farms, with excellent results, and being
fcroadminded and having the right
public spirit, they adopted this plan
to help other farmers of their county.
The county agent, who led in the
wdfck of erecting the first limestone
storage bin In the State, called the
meeting to order, stating that the idea
of bringing the farmers together was
to help them to Increase the producing
power of soils: "Our fertility,"
he said, "is a big problem, not only
for our counties but for our towns.
Prosperity depends on soil improvement."
He said that the farmers of
the county had the problem before
them last spring of getting lime at the
right time, and finally solved it by
building a limestone bin. "Lime bins,"
lie stated, mean having lime on hand
the year round?liming more land for
less money and lime haulod at the

right time. "There is no question
in the minds of the farmers
of this sectloD." he continued,
"as to the need of lime. Our big
problem is feed, now that we are cotting
into the dairy and cattle business.
Liming will enable us to grow the
feed. The foundation for good farming
is red clover, and that makes our
limestone Btorage bins essentia!."
In conclusion he said: "The farmers
are becoming fbterested in this work.
I believe we will have In a few years
a limestone bin at every railway siding
in North Carolina."
He might have udded, "There should
be one in every agricultural community
of the South."
Talks along this line were made by
several practical fanners. One speaker
said, "We have got to put a little
more Christianity into farming. The
land yon are working does not belong
to you?you have a title, but you can't
move the land. Nature gave it to us
in trust, to pass on in as good condition
as it was wlion we reco'ved it?
or a much better condition. If v.*e
fail to do this, we commit a sin."
The county agents and fanners in
attendance seemed to be of one mind.
Legumes need lime?they must grow
legumes for feed nnd soil-improving
crops?therefore the building of limestone
storage bins is about tiie most
important work they can engage in lor
the general good. And the business
men?bankers, merchants arid manufacturers?are

A Judicious Inquiry.
A well known traveling man whe
visits the drug trade, says he has often
heard druggists ask a customer, who
wished to buy a cough medicine,
whether it was foi a child or an adult
and if for a child, they almost invariably
recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. The reason for this is
that they know there is no danger
from it and that it always cures. There
is not tne least danger in giving It
and for colds, croup and whooping
cough it is unsurpassed.
Why Mr. Joe Armstrong, Celebrated
Dog Trainer, Uses Rat-Snap.
'Noticed rats around my kennels,
having hundreds of prize dogs, couldn't
take chances. Tried RAT-SNAP;
in three weeks every rat disappeared
Noticed that the dogs never went
near RAT-SNAP. I tell my friends
about RAT-SNAP." Use this sure

know what calomel Is. It's j f
mercury; quicksilver. Calomel ts ' \
dangerous. It crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sickening
you. Calomel attacks the bones
and should never be put into your

If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated
and al Iknocked out, just go to
' your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents
which is a harmless vegetable substitute
for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it ^oesn't start your
liver and straighten vqu up better and
**
quicker than nasty calomel and without
making you sick, you just go back
and get your money.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
