ity In these two classes Is greatly due
TO gardening and its productions and
the effects Of these are doing wonders
for the proper enjoyment OF mankind
Good vegetables, fruit, pure water and
air are Of most vital Importance; and,
in fact, with these alone II would be
difficult to destroy life,

cure jaundicc effectually.
Onions, garlic, leeks and shallots, all

virtues of marked character, stimu-
lating the circulatory system, and the
consequent increase OF the saliva and
the gastric juice promoting digestion.
Red onions are an excellent diuretic,

Feeding Cnttle.

With good pastures the most eco
nomical gain is made on grass, the
feeding being continued as long
as the pastures are good and the grain
period being reduced as much as posi-
bic. When they are not good they
should be supplemented with mod
crate and varied grain ration, for the
only sense in which gains made on
poor pastures pays is that which as
sumes that the grass has no value
unless it is fed when the value Of the
land is considered the returns from
poor pasture can not be regarded as
profitable Supple ment poor pastures
with something, even though it be
only cut corn; but make the supple
mentary feed as good and well-bal-
anced as the circumstances will per-
nit. When the grain period arrives,
finish and firm up as fast as grain can
do it, and however cattle may have
been fed, week or two on corn and
dry hay only before shipment will go
a long way towards reducing the
shrink. Live Stock Indicator

A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK.
An Alabama Farmer With an Optimistic

An Alabama Farmer With an Optimistic
Eye.
As settler OF Alabama's fertile soil,
and one who has for twenty-five years
advocated the raising of home sup
plies for the farm, and not only urged
it, but has set the example of living
at home, it is exceedingly gratifying
to read the crop reports and find food
crops on the increase and cotton acre
age on the decrease. Beneficial re-
forms as rule move slowly, but the
sad experience of many indus
trious farmers in Alabama dur
ing the last few years is be-
ginning to teach valuable lessons
in economic measures, and as the les
sons learned in the school of experience
begin to throw flood of light on the
pathway of these same farmers, COM
mon sense comes up and suggests the
ruch-needed change from all cotton
and no supplies to the sensible plan of
living at home and making what cot
ton is made surplus. 1t is like draw
ing ones eye teeth to give up the old
plan, but the inevitable must be
yielded to; there is no other way for
the south to live but to make her fer
tile soil furnish the supplies necessary
to sustain animal life.
When | draw on my memory, find
no example where farmer has con-
stantly made it rule to sell his farm
products instead of buying them, but
he is prosperous man, and one who
has credit if ne asks for it, Such OBJ
ject lessons never fail to exert a
salutary influence over the people, and
this is why the change from all cot
ton is gradually drifting in the direc-
tion of raising food crops.
Mind acts upon mind, and gradual
ly, but surely, the leaven is working,
the good work is begun, and sooner or
later the whole south will be as a
garden spot. The day is not far in
the future when the products of field
and mine will be converted into mer-
charitable articles and sold TO con-
sumers of the whole world and the
profits will go into southern Golfers in
stead of taking wings as now, and fly
to other climes.
The south is now entering upon an
era of great prosperity; ] feel the
breath and pulsations of the great
tidal wave that is bearing wealth to
our once downtrodden southland, and
If the country is spared financial
crisis for twenty years, the hum of
thousands of industries, now silent as
the grave, will echo and re-echo from
ocean to ocean.-Cor. Southern Guilt

THIN FABRICS.
Urgandy and Swiss Vie with Each Other
for PrefereDCe.

Urgandy and Swiss Vie with Each Other
for Preference.
Swiss comes in almost as many va
rieties as organdy. The meshes are
rather too wide to admit of pretty pat
terms in colors, but this difficulty is
surmounted by making the patterns in
silk of the same shade as the ground
work. A dainty pattern has blue
ground with silk dots and bow-knots
in an all-over effect.
But organdies are finer and come In
such alluring patterns that it requires
firmness of purpose to resist them. An
organdy gown over silk is correct for
the most elaborate occasion. Made
over white silk and trimmed with
Valenciennes lace 1t is dainty for even
ing wear. For afternoon it is often
made over dark silk to match some
tint in the figure.
Modistes sometimes make up for the
lack of flowers in the dotted Swiss by
trimming them with wreaths and
lunches Of artificial flowers.
One of the sweetest and freshest
gowns of this kind is whte-dotted
Swiss made with very wide skirt. 1t
has punches of roses set all around the
bottom at intervals of about ten
inches. The bodice is a round blouse
fastened at the waist with belt of
ribbon that ties at the sides and hangs
In long ends. Another busch of flow
ers is set on at the head OF the bow.
A null collarette finishes tbs neck. It
has wreath of flowers around the
neck, and another around the lower
edge The leghorn hat has frill of
lace standing up around the crown,
and another which spreads out over
the brim, with velvet band to join
them. A bunch of flowers is the only
other trimming. Chicago News.
