STRONG OLD MAN
75 YEARS YOUNG
Says ZIRON Iron Tonic Made Him Feel
Better, Eat Better and Sleep Better.
O. D. Blount, Tarrytown, Ga., writes:
1 am seventy-five years old, yet I have
been pretty strong until about a year ago.
I did not feel so well, I had a worn, tired
feeling, my body ached and 1 was not
myself. 1 would chill easily,—my blood
seemed thin, my flesh flabby and skin
not clear. 1 didn’t rest well and my ap
petite was jpoor. I heard of Ziron. how
it was helping others and it seemed to be
what I needed, too. I soon saw after 1
began taking it that it was helping me.
felt better in every way. 1 ate better,
I slept better. I took three bottles and
It helped me. I am glad to recommend
Ziron.”
Ziron is indicated for anemia, pale com
plexion, poor blood, general weakness,
etc. When your blood needs iron, take
Ziron. Remember, if the first bottle don’t
benefit, you get your money back. Don't
wait. Begin taking Ziron today.

TIME FOR ACTION
Lawyers for the prosecution and
defense had been allowed, by mutual
consent, fifteen minutes each to ar

Counsel for the defense began his
argument with an illusion to the old
swimming pond of his boyhood days.
He told in flowery oratory of the
balmy air, the singing birds, the joy
of youth, the delight of the cool water
—and in the midst of it he wa 3 inter

judge.
“Come out, sir,” he said, “and put
on you rclothes. Your fifteen minutes
are up!”

A CHILD HATES OIL,
CALOMEL, PILLS FOR
LIVED ANO BOILS
Give “California Syrup of
Figs” if Cross, Sick, Fever
ish, Constipated
Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the “dose” mother insist
ed on—castor oil, calomel, cathart
ics. How you hated them, how you
fought against taking them.
With our children it’s different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don’t realize what they
do. The children’s revolt is well-foun
ded. Their tender little “insides” are
injured by them.
If your child’s stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only de
licious “California Syrup of Figs.”
Its action is positive, but gentle. Mil
lions of mothers keep this harmless
“fruit laxative” handy; they know
children love to take it; that it never
fails to clean the liver and bowels and
sweeten the stomach, and that a tea- j
spoonful given today saves a sick |
child tomorrow. ,
Ask your druggist for a
bottle of “California Syrup of Figs,”
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown
ups plainly on each bottle. Beware
of counterfeits sold here. See that it j
is made by “California Fig Syrup
Company.” Refuse any other kind

OATS BEST CROP FOR
SOUTHERN FARMERS
Food Value For Farm Animals Unexcelled
From Southern Cultivator.
(Published by request
From those high up—those who see
and know—the call comes loud and
strong to the Southern farmer: “Raise
food and yet more food—food for
yourselves, food for your country—
food for our Allies—food for our
brave men fighting across the seas!”
With this warning, this summons to
duty and patriotism, wretched is the
Southern farmer who turns a deaf
ear. And yet, next spring and sum
mer, when the strain of the war shall
be heaviest, how will the farmer feel
if he has to dip into the common food
pot for himself or his animals?
Though he have money or credit to
get the food, it will not relieve him of
the blame and shame of not having
produced it for himself. There is but
so much food—we know in advance
there won’t be enough to go round.
Food must be made by the farmers
on the farm. Food isn’t food made
in stores and factories and laborator
ies—a simple thought, but one lots
of people haven’t taken in.
This is the first of October: Now,
what's the quicketql, cheapest and
best food a man can grow on his
farm? I don’t mean, buy offi some
body else's farm and bring
to hi s and turn into bacon,
beef, milk or eggs, but grow it out of
his own Ahead of them all,
stands oats. True, every farmer
needs and should grow a few acres of
wheat for his own table. But that’s
a trifle in amount compared with what
he must have for work stock, cattle,
sheep, hogs, chickens. Then let him
sow oats now. Let him break and
harrow land and plant oats. But, you
say, lab rand time is short, then let
him plant oats down the corn and
cotton rows without breaking or har
rowing. In sixty days he can be gra
zing profitably every known farm an
imal from bulls to biddies. In six
months he can be harvesting a golden
grain and forage crop.
A* a Feed
Oats are the safest and best of all
horse and mule feeds. Thousands of
mules die yearly in the South from
corn-colic.
You can’t colic one with oats. Re
call cases of colic you have known,
and you will be convinced. Com is
a good horse feed but is too heating
ferments easily. Nowhere is cron fed
as much as in the South. Nowhere is
work stock so short-lived and so sub
ject to sickness and death. Most of
the oat crop should be fed in the
sheaf. Don’t feed up all your oats as
soon as you gather them. Feed sheaf
oats the year round. For heavy
vwrk, some grain must be added to
sheaf oats —corn, threshed oats, or
mixed feed. The careful feeder will
make his stock eat the straw a s well
as the grain. Stack your oats in the
barn in double rows—butts in, heads
out. They will never be injured by
rats or mice. They will stay sweet
and sound for years.
Cultivation of Oats
Thorough preparation of the land
counts with oats as with all other
crops. Deep breaking, harrowing,
rolling and dragging, all pay. Still
oats will grow well and profitably
VMth less preparation than any other
known grain or forage crop. If you
haven’t the labor, horse power or the
time for thorough preparation, drill
your oats between your corn and cot
ton rows without any preparation at
all. The yield will not be the great
est, but the crop and its profitable
ness will astonishand delight you.
Thousands of acres of oats should be
planted this way in the South every
year. Use a grain drill. They are sold
from seven to seventy dollars, all
good of their kind. Buy, beg or bor
row a binder. The race of cradlers i s
extinct. Oat planting leads to big
yields—stumpless, bushless, gullyless
fields.
When to Plant? In the Fall—Fertil
izing
Fertilizing counts with oats. Phos-
No Worms In a Healthy Child
All children troubled with worms have an un
healthy color, which indicates poor blood, and as a
rule, there is more or less stomach disturbance.
GROVE S TASTELESS chill TONIC given regularly
for two or three weeks will enrich the blood, im
prove the digestion, and act as a General Strength
ening Tonic to the whole system. Nature will then
throw off or dispel the worms, and the Child will be
in perfect health. Pleasant to take. 60c per bottle.

phate mostly, and when you can get
it, potash and a little ammonia, tank
age or cotton seed meal. Apply of
such a mixture 9-2-1,” at planting time,
800 to 500 pounds, if not out of
sight, nitrate of soda, 50 to 100
pounds, when the oats are stooling.
Stable manure spread on the oats
any time in the vuinter or spring,
means good farming and no loss of
fertilizer value, but a saving of time
and plant food. Get your nitrogen
from peas, beans, vetches, clover.
Oats is the friend of all of them.
They can be planted with oat crop
or between the oat crops. A wonder
ful plan is to plant peas with a drill,
in your oats in March. Cut the oats
and the peas will cover the field be
fore you can geH the oats to the bam.
Cut one crop of pea-hay for yourself
in midsummer, and give the second
to the land. Try it! Oats and clover
—oats and vetch—go hand in hand.
They will give you a grand forage
crop in the spring. The velvet bean
will make after oats. If you plant
early oats, which, of course, you
should, you can follow with corn and
cotton. Keep the land busy. It don't
need to rest. Land is kept healthy
and alive by the live things growing
on it.
The Fact* About Oats
You ca nmake feed on an acre •
planted in oats than you can on that
acre planted in any other crop. You
can make it with less cost, less work
and greater certainty. 0at 3 use your
land when you can’t use it. Oats
grow in the winter time. Oats are
fhe easiest crop to plant. They are
the easiest to grow. They need no cul
tivation with plow or hoe. Grass and
weeds cannot “take” them. Compare
them to com in these respects. Com
pare them to corn, which is cut by
the bud worm when it peeps out of
the ground, and riddled by the weevil
to the last grain in the barn.
Oats are the crop of the progressive
farmer. They are the crop of the far
mer who does his own work. They
are the crop that caon be planted and
harvested by hand, or with big mach
inery. They will keep the boys on the
farm. The man or boy who can run a
Ford can run a grain drill, a binder, a
thresher, a press, a cutter —and he
will be glad to do it, too. But he won’t
want to take a hoe and pick cotton,
pull and shuck com. Do not give up
your whole farm and your whole
time and thought to “row crops.” Do
away with hand work, do away with
the hoe and the one-horse plow, on a
part of your farm and for a part of
your time. Sow oats! Take a rest!
You don’t have to “work” oats. They
work for you. They will work the
corn and cotton fields for you through
the long winter time. Hold your land
together witfh, a “cover crop” of oats.
Keep down dust and sand storms vfith
oats. Stop your land from leaching
and washing away, with a crop of
oaljs. Oats will do all this for you and
more besides. The oat crop is the
surest foundation for all stock, cattle,
swine, dairy and poultry farming.
Show me in Europe or America a live
stock country, and I will show you an
oat-growing country. Plant your cot
ton and work your heart outmaking
money out of it for yourself and a
lot more for other people. But come
n. Learn how to grow oats and raise
stock, too. Oatis will give you a per
fect rotation. They will build up
your farm. Oats make fine winter and
spring pastures—better than rye,
wheat or barley. They are ready for
use as a grain crop, in sheaf, or
threshed. They take up less barn
room than any other grain or forage
crop. You can stack them in the field.
They give you the best of all straw.
Oat straw will support cattle and
idle stock, and save expensive feeds.
Oats will make high priced sorry Wes
tern hay and com a thing of the past.
