There are some of our best farmers
who think they know as much as the
wisest, and do not feel like taking the
advice of better men. For example. l

hundred bushels of colton-seed, and
he put them in an open rail pen: then
he poured writer on them and killed
them. OF course, while they We're dy-

The Kitchen Garden.

The kitchen garden may as well
have u charm of seemlness as of use.
Bordered by rows of fruit trees and
bushes, lovely in bud, flower and
harvest with edgings of sweet herbs
and flowers for garnishing, the beds
planted according to the hei yht of
growing things, vegetable garden
might be pleasing to the eyes.
Planting in long divisions. twenty
five feet wide. with Indian corn down
the middle, in say three rows, pole
beans and tall green peas next on
each side in double rows. artichoke or
dwarf peas next, then triple rows of
beet, parsnip, spinach and satisfy,
feathering off in carrot, chives. pars-
ley and cress. with corners taken of
for melon quarters. the tomatoes and
peppers trinity trained, cabbage and
cau'iAower regularly set, the eff ct
would be great improvement on
the patchy, struggling way when
every thing is stuck down as happens.
If back garden looks trim the boys
and women will like to work in it
better. and nothing improves it SO
much as study of regular arrange
ment. -American Garden

The Funeral Month of March.

An observant metropolitan barber says
that he can tell ones physical condition by
the state Of the hairl
The Bible tells us that with his hair gone
Samson lost his strength. The Romans
considered badness serious affection and
Julius Cesar was never quite satisfied with
himself because his poll was bare.
The face, however, is the open book and
one can readily trace in its various express
sions, lines, changes and complexion the
state Of the system.
The eye that is unusually bright and yet
has a pallid brightness, the face upon
whose cheeks nature paints rose of sim
gular beauty and flush, more marked in con-
trast with the alabaster appearance Of the
forehead and nose and lower part of the
face, is one of those whom the skilled ply
stefan will tell you will some day dread
the funereal month of March, because it
is then that consumption reaps its richest
harvest Consumption they tell us is caused
by this, that and the other thing, by mi
crobes in the air, by micro-organisms in
the blood, by deficient nutrition, by thou
sand and one things, but whatever the cause,
decay begins with cough and the remedy
that will effectually stop the cause of that
cough cures the disease of the lungs.
That is all there is Of it,
| The cough is an evidence of wasting.
To stop it effectually, a remedy must be
used that will search out the cause, re-
move that and then heal the lung and dc
away with the cough. This is the power,
special to itself, possessed alone by War
ner's Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
remedy. This is no new-fangled notion OF
narcotics and poisons, but an old-fash
toned preparation Of balsams, roots and
herbs, such as was used by our ancestors
many years ago, the formula of which has
been secured exclusively by the present
manufacturers at great trouble and expense

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
SeasonabIe Work.


The month Of March is one of the
busiest as we'll as most important of
the yearly calendar to the fruit grower.
During he month there are many
things which must and can only be
done this month. as well as other
things which should have been done
before. but were neglected. First of
all in this connection comes the ORDER
ing of trees and plants. If not al
ready attended to. do not delay the
business single day longer We
hear annually thousands of complaints
from planters that the trees etc. re-
ccived from Blank & Banks nursery
were so far Started in bud that they
died. Another frequent complaint is
that The stock received was inferior.

some extent the bridesmaids to blame

In Minnesota or some other far North
ern State, and the order, rs written
above, is forwarded to a nurseryman
in New jersey, or even farther south.
The goods are forwarded, though they
may be just starting in bud. In the
warm packages en- route the buds
swell still more. and when they reach
their DIES nation the trees and plants
are often in full leaf The moral of
all this is to order your trees and
plants early.
Pruning. 1t is not too late nor yet
too early in the Northern States to
trim out the orchard and fruit planta-
TONS especially the vineyard. Hints
and directions tor pruning have been
given from time to time in the Garden
which, if followed clio ,ely and in time,
will show good results.
In sections of the country where the
frost is entirely out of the ground
not before--the mulch may be removed
from the strawberry BEDS and the
ground between the rows worked with
a hoe or cultivator. We have found it
an excellent plan to keep mulch
among the plants in the rows until
after fruiting time. 1t serves the
double purpose of keeping the ground
moist and the fruit clean.
The earth which was placed around
the young trees for winter protection
should be removed as soon as the
ground is in condition to work prop.

spade in around each tree about 9

King Philip, called the Fair, with his
brother of Ar.nis, his Lord High Con-

Since the bnrgesses must needs pay for
horses and armors, they put both to
their own uses. They had trained
their companies behind the city walls,
and, wonder of wonders! their infantry
did not run away. The Flemish bills,
hooked into loose sword-belt or shield

ging the knights from their saddles,
and the bitches threw the horsemen
