Stubborn Cases
of Constipation
Those who keep a mass of
impurity pent up in their bodies,
day after day, instead of having it
removed as nature intended, at least
once in every twenty-four hours, in
variably suffer from constipation.
The use of cheap, harsh purgatives
will never get you any where as they
only aggravate the trouble and in*
jure the delicate mucous lining of the
bowels, and are very liable to cause
piles.
If constipated take Milburn’s
Laxa-Liver Rills and have a natural
movement of the bowels. They do
not gripe, weaken and sicken as
many laxatives do.

Growing Peas
Series of Risks
Insects Sometimes Can Clean Out
Crop
WEATHER IS FACTOR
Heavy Task From Start To Finish
James Anthony, London Free Press
■From the time the farmer sows
the seed in, the spring till madam
serves the finished product at din
ner, the peas proposition is little but
a series of risks. I said something
like this to William Ellerington, of
Usborne Townshp, Huron County,
the other morning as he was thresh
ing canning peas on his fine farm.
“There is one thing we know at
any rate. We growers must not
let anything slip. The ground must
be well worked and kept clean and
fertilized as best we know. Even
then there are a good many things
against us.”
“For instance?”
“This year we have had unfavor
able weather conditions. Our crop is
definitely not up to wihat we had
last year on this account. We are
harvesting our early crop just now.
It is not what we would like to har
vest. The rain was hard on it.
Then some years insects clean us
out. When these creature are
abundant, one’s trousers and feet
are simply covered with them,
the market goes back on us it is
just too bad.”
“Where do you keep the pea crop
in your rotation?”
“This crop

“Delivery must be made to the
factory at least every three hours in
order that the peas may lose none
of their freshness. The straw is care
fully stacked where it turns in due
time to valuable ensilage. Pea grow
ing, like other farm operations these
days, admits of no losses.”
“You grow your own seed?”
“Seed is not produced here.
our neighbors we procure the
from the factory.”
I quite forgot my manners
asked: "Is this a paying crop?”
“You don’t get rich quick in any
line of farming. The returns range
from $90 per acre to a total failure.
Every season we are up against all
these possibilities. We never know
where we are at till we have our
money in the bank or are out of the
running altogether. This is a line
that requires one’s very best. When
we try hard to mists nothing, we
count on fair returns from this cash
crop. One must hustle with both
mind and body. If you know of any
line of farming that, always is suc
cessful, let me know about it.”
