rightly used. The many, who live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid

beneficial properties of perfect lax

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

every Objectionable substance.

Tilla age is Not Manure,

A few years ago there arose a class
of farmers who We're ready to claim
that tillage was manure and for a year
or two there was much discussion of
the subject, and while the position of
these men we speak of was not main
tanned, much good was done in direct
ing attention, in forcible manner, to
the Importance of good tillage. Tillage
is not manure at any time nor under
any circumstances, for it does not
furnish anything to the soil that
was not there before, but good
tillage will make available much
plant food that would have
been locked up under other circum-
stances. If land is not put in good
tilth before the seed is planted it is
impossible to get the best results from
it. Every little lump that is left in the
soil is useless so far as the growing
crop is concerned for the plant food in
it is not available. Often a very good
crop may be grown upon land that is
run down and in bad shape if only per-
feet tillage is the rule of the husband
man.-The American Farmer and Farm

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURE.
A Wide Field for Improvement and Ac~
comnIishment.

A Wide Field for Improvement and Ac~
compiishment.
An esteemed contemporary says that
the south is yet to be the great center
of manufacturing industry in this coun-
try. There is no doubt but that the
south is yet in the beginning of Won
derful career of development along
this line. It's mineral resources and its
wealth Of timber, cotton and other raw
material offer an inviting field for the
employment of capital in manufacture
ing enterprise, and the perils and un-
certalnties that surround manufacture
ing and mining industries in other sec
tions, by reason of the violent and
vicious character of their labor popula-
tion, will force capital in this direction.
''We must never forget, however" :"
remarks the Commercial-Appeal, of
Memphis, Tenn, that the south is,
and will continue to be, in the main an
agricultural country, and there is a
wider field for improvement and for the
accomplishment of practical good along
this line than any other. 1t is an ex-
aggeration to say that the wealth of
the southern states could be easily
doubled by improved methods of agri-
culture, intelligent selection and di-
versification of crops, and the prac-
tice of many simple and obvious
economies. To the agriculturists
of the old world, the wastefu1
and extravagant methods that pre-
vail upon our southern farms must
seem ruinous and appalling, as indeed
they are. BY sheer lack of thought
and attention to the plainest dictates
of prudence and economy the agricul-
turists of the south are, every year,
wasting as much as they make. We
hear men ta TX in glowing terms of the
great increase of wealth that is to come
from the building up of manufactures
in the south; but with practically no
increase of capital, with only prudent
direction of energy and economy of
labor, the south can be made
independent. To accomplish this
it is necessary to change a
long prevailing system and long
established habits. 1t is not an
easy thing to do. For this reason we
believe that the surest and swiftest
way to reform the wasteful and ex-
travagant methods of agricultural pro-
duction is the introduction of a new
character of farm labor by the immi-
grafton of class of small proprietors.
We will thus give object lessons in
good farming that will enforce the les
son by illustration and example"
The Cultivator has been laboring for
over half a century in this direction,
and is pleased with such an eloquent
and efficient ally as the Commercial.

UPON CHICAGO RIVER.

How the Wonderful Invention of Capt.
Smart Was Greeted by Capt. Kidd.
Col. Aleck Smart, U. S. A, while not
great inventor, has creative imagi-
nation which he has applied to the or
dinary affairs of life with remunerative
sesults.
Col. Smart conceived the idea of in
Producing the phonograph to govern
ment fog-horns, by which ships many
miles out at sea should be made to
listen to official warnings.
Col. Smart recently induced the
United States to place an Edison pho
nograph in one of its largest steam
horns located on the pier outside the
lake front at Chicago, in order to ena-
bic vessels to more easily make port
through the smoke which floats out
from the city.
The other day the good lumber-lug-
ger Star, Capt. Kidd, was feeling its
way towards that port. Capt. Kidd
had previously made the harbor by the
odor, color and density of the Chicago
river water, which sweeps out into the
lake for miles. He had not heard OF

black cloud which hides the city, Capt.

labor. The result is, the one gains and
the other loses in production.
If we understood more thoroughly
the cultivation of our soil and the ma
ture of our plants, farming would no
longer be considered a menial vocation
by the masses of the people, but it will
take its high and exalted station among
the other learned professions of life
