To the Editor of the New Orleans Democrat:
The johnson grass here grows or
both blac k and sandy soils. The black
rich soil is better. Bottom lands give
the best yield from the fact they are
usually richer, retaining the moisture
longer than uplands, although it does
excellently well upon uplands. Where
corn will grow this grass will grow, and
the richer the soil the better the grass.
This grass does we'll on moist lands or
lands where the water does not remain
on over, say eight or ten days-longer
than that roots would be apt to become
soured.

in saccharine, and when we'll cured has
no equal. Get Towards Manual and
you will see that n. Il. Moore, Augusta,
tried grasses for 40 years and gave this
the preference.
Hay is dull now, but worth S1S per
ton at the farm and sells in Selma at $50
per ton retail now. Last winter | got
from 1874 to 1923 per ton and expect to
get 1876 this winter and spring. My
farm, which has not been cropped for
nine successive years, and has had no
two and one-half tons of hay at each
cutting. Have already cut apart twice
and will get another good cutting. No
grass that know of in the known world
equals it in growth. AS a clover Lu-
cerne is about the same. Have not
tried other grasses simply for the rea-
son have already got the best. In my
Judgment all grasses will grow and do
well in the South.
All kinds of stock like the grass and
hay. 1t is rapid grown perennial
rich in saccllarine matter. use Champ
ion mowers, rakes, tedder, hay loader
and the Perpetual hay press.
My seed is pure, of 1881 crop, well
cleaned and will grow. Some farmers
take theseed in green, and unless summed
and watched closely will become heated.
Large quantities of this seed are gath
cred on the original johnson farm, and
know it's all right.
The demand is unprecedented, and
nowhere is the crop near enough to
supply the demand until January 1, and
heretofore almost all the seed has been
sown in tile spring.
Experience proves that fall is the best
time to SOW the seed. This will give
two heavy crops the next year, perhaps

How to Obtain Long Life.
iCassell's Magazine.


Thousands Of people annually ruin
their constitutions by simply swallowing
too much medicine. 1t may seem a
strange thing for a medical man to say,
but it is nevertheless fact. 1t is dan
gerous to fly with every little ailment to
the medicine chest. The use of tonics.
unless under medical advice, should be
dlscOuntenanced; tonic is sharper
than two edged sword, it is a tool
that needs to be used with caution.
There are now, am sorry to see, some
9rated waters coming into use which
contain strong mineral tOnics, that are
apt to accumulate in the system with
the most disastrous results. They
should therefore not be drunk ad libi-
tum as to quantity, or without guidance
as to quality. Rest should be taken
with great regularity. One day in
seven should be set apart for the COM
plete rest Of both body and mind. In
dependent of this, all who can afford it
should take an annual holiday. Trav-
cling is cheap, and two weeks or
months relaxation from care and bust
ness can not make big hole in the
purse OF one who works we'll all the
rest of the year and knows how to
economic time. Innocent pleasure and
wholesome recreation is conducive to
longevity. All work and no play sends
Jack to an early grave. Recreation is
to the mind and nervous system what
sunshine is to the blood. AS a physician,
must be allowed to say just one word
about the quieting, calming effect of
religion upon the mind. The truly reli-
gious make by far the best patients,
their chance Of recovery from serious
sickness are greater, and so is their
chance ct long life, simply owing to the
power icy have of submitting them
selves quietly, yet humbly and, hope
fnily, to whatsoever may be before
them. y
