ENORMOUS SHIPMENTS

Frequent shipments of carload lots
of DR.. Pierce's Medicines, to all the
principal commercial centers of this
country, are necessary to supply the
unprecedented demand for these world
famed remedies. No other medicines
ever attained anything like the popu-
larity which they enjoy. No other
medicines possess such superior and
positive curative properties as to war
rant their manufacturers in selling
them, as the proprietors Of DR.. Piercc's
Medicines are doing, through druggists,
under a positive guarantee of benefit
Or cure In every case, on fair trial, or
money refunded.
There are scores of sarsaparillas and
other blood medicines advertised, but
the "Golden Medical Discovery of DIR.
Pierce is the only one ever backed up by
q positive guarantee from well-known
and thoroughly responsible house. The
conditions are, that, given fair trial, it
will do all that is claimed for it, or
money paid for it will be promptly re-
funded. A Certificate of Guarantee
wraps every bottle.
To attempt the sale of an inferior, or
even fairly good, blood-purifier under
such trying conditions as these, would
mean bankruptcy to its proprietors.

PECULIAR PLANTS.


In the Botanical Garden Of the Gov
eminent is the ''cruel plant" which is
SO designated because it catches butter
flies and kills them for sheer sport.
Its flowers attract the poor little fiut-
terer by the honey it offers, and when the
victim lights upon it it grabs the but
terfly by the head and holds it fast until
the captive dies. Then the flower drops
it on tho ground and lies in wait for
fresh unfortunate.
A CURIOUS looking tree from the 18th
mus of Panama bears round red fruit
as big as an apple, which has this re-
markable faculty, that its juice, when
rubbed ON tough beef or chicken, makes
the meat tender by the chemical power il
possesses to separate the flesh fiber. One
is interested to observe in tho botanical,

A Good Plan.

To keep meat through the summer
free from flies and bugs:
First, have your sack made, one sack
for each piece of meat Have them
made of heavy osnaburgs, one yard to
each sack for joints, one and a half
yards for middlings. Next have your
meat we'll scalded and dried and smoked
beforehand; then have some good dried
hay, or oat straw will do, but prefer
the hay. Fill your sacks three parts
with hay; then open hole in the mid
die of the hay large enough for the
piece of meat; put the piece in and then
finish filling the sacks with hav, then
tie the mouth of the sacks with strong
string and hang up each sack to itself,
being careful not to let rats cut into the
sacks. BY this means you can examine
them at any time, and if you should find
any shippers you can rescald and hang
up again, which will not be necessary
provided the work was performed all
right at first. 1 have kept my meat
this way, and know that it is the best
plan that l have ever used.-Dixie
Farmer.

Only medicine possessed of cxtraordi-
nary merits could sustain itself under
such business policy. The "Golden
Medical Discovery is such a medicine,
and has proven its ability to sustain its
proprietors, even though sold on such
extraordinary terms.
As a remedy for all Blood, Skin and
Scalp Diseases, it has won for itself
world wide fame. Especially has i
manifested its potency in curing Salt

HERE AND THERE.

I'm marketing potatoes save the
small and cut ones for the sheep; but
slice them and mix with little meal
and salt before feeding. There is dam
ger of the stock choking on whole po-
tatoes.
Sheep are a kind of stock that will
not bear to be frightened or run with
dogs, chased through the mud, or in any
way disturbed out of their naturally
quiet habits.
The SOW that will not thrive well
on good grass when not sucking pigs is
not good one, and the farmer who will
retain such one, when better ones are
so abundant, deserves i'll success in his
efforts at pig breeding

says an exchange. With high-bred,

estimate.
When grass is acknowledged as king
and treated as such in our pig-growing
operations we will have pork produced
at a cheaper rate and of finer quality.
The cost of labor in the production of a
crop of grass is merely nominal as COM
pared with that of a crop of grain.
An experienced dairyman declares
that good milk always foams, and that
the foam may be considered an index Of

viscosity or power of the milk to hold

Bookkeeping is eminently well fitted
as a pursuit and as an amusement for
the busy man who spends long hours in
the office. There is nothing of the kind
that stimulates study, that fires up en-
thusiasm, that rests the mind, and SO
gives a new lease of life, as does bee
keeping.
Tho more hog is fed, a writer
says, the faster it will grow. and the
faster it grows the sooner it will be
ready for market. That depends alto
gether upon how it is fed. If we re-
member always that fat is not growth
and feed accordingly, it is true that the
more we feed the more rapidly the hog
will grow.

the problems which beset them. The
awakening comes always with the in
ception of institute work. the cotton
planters of the South are resolutely
graphing with the problem of crop di.
forage crops, and they will gradually
work it out, if the institute
workers will simply keep them
in the right line. Here in North
Carolina we are going to inaugurate
series of summer institutes during the
leisure time which always comes in
cotton country between the ''laying by
of the crop and the beginning of the
picking season, with view to stir up
attention to the sowing here of fall for.
age crops for winter.
One of our breeders of blooded horses
here has found that the crimson clover,
now so largely used here, can be grazed
hard all winter without detriment, even
by the close-biting horse, and full crop
of hay mown in April. AS l now write
april 2D the crop of this clover is being
cut A field of this clover, with its deep
blood-red bloom, is a handsome sight,
and is cutso early that the stubble can at
once be plowed in time for corn or cotton
either. Sown between the cotton rows
in August and September, winter past
ure is secured and crop of hay, and
the ground left in better condition than
over for crop. 1t succeeds best on a
compact clay soil, but will do fairly
well on sandy land. But in very sandy
land our old friend, the cowpea, is still
unsurpassed. If you want to rest"
your land between crops of cotton, rest
it in pease. Don't pillow the pease under
in the fall, but let them lie and protect
the land from blowing in winter.
Furrow out through the dead pease,
fertilize and break the middles and
bury the rest. Better results we feel
sure can be had in this way than by
burying the pease green, in fact, long
experience has taught me that blowing
in green crop on sandy soil in hot
climate, is often productive of perma-
nent injury to the land. Grow pease
and other recuperative crops. but don't
pillow them under green in hot wealth
er. Don't rest your land simply with
the natural growth of weeds and crab
grass, but put some leguminious crop on
it that has the power of accommodating
nitrogen, and thereby save the purchase
of the costly ammonia and use cheaper
phosphate fertilizer. 1t has beer
abundantly proved that leguminious
crops such as pease and clover do go gel
hold of and supply nitrogen to the soil
and it is much cheaper to get it in this
way, than to pay fifteen cents pound
for it in fertilizer.-W. F. Massey, in
Home and Farm.
