It all happened in 30 days I In November the girl was pale, run-down and lacked vitality. Weight subnormal; only 91^ lbs. Her blood, when tested, was found to be low in red corpuscles and lower still in haemoglobin, the red substance in the red corpuscles. She was given a 30-day treatment. And what a happy change took place! She gained nine pounds and her complexion glowed with rosy health. Her face rounded out and she became positively pretty. The treatment—as shown by a second blood test—had greatly in­ creased the red corpuscles and haemoglobin in her blood, conse­ quently she felt and looked radiantly well. The preparation that worked these wonders was Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. This famous old remedy restores health in a most constructive way. We know that the blood carries nourishment and vitality to every part of the body. But unless the blood has a sufficient number of red corpuscles and red colouring substance called haemoglobin, it cannot carry on its vital work. It is here that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills produce constructive benefits. This remedy increases, in most eases, both the red corpuscles and the haemoglobin. Blood tests prove it! Good looks and good health are too precious to neglect or experi­ ment with. If your feelings and your mirror tell you that you are under-weight, nervous, sallow, easily tired out—take this tested remedy. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, for 30 days, as the girl mentioned above did. Then check up’on beauty and health you have gained.

The crop made vigorous growth, yet the area that received additional fertility showed a material gain over the balance of the cro-p. The De­ partment of Chemistry, Ontario Ag­ ricultural College, in co-operation with the local Department of Agri- on the soybean pach, placing three on the soybean patch, placinf three fertilizers side by side with the un­ fertilized crop. Results are as fol­ lows; 0-22-5 at 250 lbs. per acre yield­ ed 18.6 bus. per acre. 0412-10 at 2i5O lbs, per acre yielded 17.7 bus. per acre. 2-12-6 at 2501 lbs. per acre yielded 18.0 bus. per acre. -0- at 250 lbs. .per acre yielded 15.0 bus. per acre. It is evident that 0-12-5 gave the highest yield, giving a gain of 3.6 bushels per acre. Soybeans growers will be espec­ ially interested in this test in that it is usually necessary to force the the growth of this crop as rapidly as passible when it is intended that ripened beans'shall be harvested. “How could you .find the penny I gave you so quickly?” Beggar—“I am not the 'the blind man, I am just sitting here while he has gone to t'he movies.” t t i SCENES AT THE SOUTH HURON ANNUAL PLOWING MATCH These cuts1 are loaned to us through the courtesy of the London Free Press The annual South Huron Plowing Match was held Thursday last at “Woodland Grove” the farm of John Allison, four miles east rf Exeter, and was attended by a large crowd.
