frequently as they ought. Statistics
show the clergy meaeAnd gardeners at
tain the greatest age and enjoy the
best health. Undoubtedly the longev-
itS il 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 it would be
difficult to destroy life.
The following note as to the me-
dicinal value of vegetables, by an En-
glish authority. may be of interest:
Satisfy is recommended to those who
suffer from biliousness.
Carrots and parsley are powerful di-
uretics. ,L
Spinach has a direct effect upon the
kidneys:
The common .dandelioh and nettfe,
used as green's, are excellent for the
same trouble.
Asparagus~and sekale5 enliven the
blood and keep it pure.
Celery acts admirably upon the nerv-
ots system and is a cure for rheuna
tism and neuralgia.
Beets and tltrnips are excellent APP.
petizers and blood t1eanscrs; likewise
is cabbage.
lettuce and cucumber are cooling in
their effect upon the system, eaten
cooked or raw; the former is said to
eufe jauhdice effectually.
Onions, garlic, lecks and shallots, all
of which, are SIMILAR, possess medical
Fiftues 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
and the white ones are recommended to
be eaten raw as remedy for insomnia.
They are tonic AMI nutritious

Peas, beans, carrots and parsnips are
very nutritious and fattening.
Watercress, endive, satisfy, mustard
and cress and the tomato are perfect
liver regulators.
Grapes are almost as good as quinine
for malarial troubleS-indeed, they are
'cure-all' for many unpleasant feel
ings,
Pineapple relieves sore throat, whilst
the juice of lemons is a valuable drink.

KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
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
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.

profe ssion, because it acts on the Kid
neys Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK.
An Alabama Farmer With an Optimistic
Eve.


Eye.
AS a 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 a 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 u flood of light on the
pathway of these same farmers, COM
mon sense comes up and suggests the
much-needed change from all cotton
and no supplies to the sensible plan of
living at home and making what cot
ton is made a 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 he asks for it. Such OBJ
ject lessons never fail to exert
salutary influence over the people, and
this is why the change from all cot
ton is gradually drifting in the direc-
ton 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 Chimes
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 oceau.-Cor. Southern Guilt

HERE AND THERE.

Venetian red is recommended for
chicken cholera: put a tablespoonful
in gallon of water and allow them to
drink all they will.
Chill is the only country where
beggars ride on horseback. Horses are
so cheap that he who owns the greatest
number is considered poorest.
An farmer who has large manure
heap can derive additional profit from
it by allowing the hens to have free
access Dit. Hens are willing to scratch
over the manure, and they secure a
Arge amount of food.
If the hogs are turned into the
apple orchard this month, they will
eat many a wormy apple, and thus les
sen the mum Der of moths which will
lay eggs next spring.
Clean out the fence corners and
other places before the weeds go to
seed. The benefit is only temporary
when weeds are allowed to propagate
their species by thousands.
The fifteenth annual session of the
Farmers national congress of the
United States of America, will be held
at Atlanta, Ga. November 1912, 1895.
1t will be during the great Cotton
States and International exposition.
Thirty tons of water per day is
about the amount evaporated from an
acre of land in summer under ordinary
methods of cultivation. This is equal
to one inch of water in four days. 1t
requires one thousand tons of water to
produce fifty bushels of corn.
During the eleven months ending
with May the United States imported
II. 80. 600 gallons of molasses. and at
the same time American sugar makers
are discussing the question of how to
get rid Of their nolasses at least cost.
This is one of the curiosities of COM
merce.
Hens that will not lay under other
circumstances will always produce
eggs when allowed on the manure
heap, ns the exercise obtained prevents
them from becoming overfat, and keeps
them in the best possible condition fos

The Deacon's Plain Prayer.

Now that brings me around to aunt
Nancy Newton and the Spring Hill
campmeetin.
You will remember, Rufus, what a
scandlous big family feud they worked
up between the Weatherford's and the
Hasseltines," said the dear, delightful
old soul. well everybody thought
that the old heads would come togeth-
er at the campmeetin and spit on the
slate and Spite ont and start over. Old
Davy Hasseltine had pulled out Of the
church in durin of the rucus, but it
fold till Deacon Joiner fell down with
the jug and split the molasses.
you will have to excuse me for plain
talk, but Deacon Joiner amt got any
more sense than a Philadelphia lawyer
would need IN his business nohow, and
it is nothin uncommon for him to let
his tongue slip and land him slap kerr
dab in the middle of bad mess.
Now it so happened when old man
Davy came forth to the mourner's
bench the preacher called on Deacon
Joiner to lead in a special prayer for
brother Hasseltine. Down went the
Deacon on his knees and right beside
old Davy and put in to prayin at the
top of his voice.
THE Lord be praised for the return
of our weak and hayward brother 7"
says the Deacon, and there was q NIGH
ty response from the amen corner
God bless brother Davy Hasseltine
right now" says the Deacon and all
hands said amen.
r
and most meanest sinners that ever trod
shoe leather" says the Deacon, and
a dead silence fell upon the amen
corner.
He has been the gonebyest and most
ungodliest liar in forty mile of Pam
ther Creek" says the Deacon.
You are another, dadburn you,"
says old Davy.
1T will take mighty stretch of thy
lovin kindness and amazin grace to
save him from the orful torments, hut
save him, Oh Lord, save him by the
hair of his head and the skin of his
teeth, as it WERE" the Deacon went
on.
by this time old man Davy had the
all overs, you understand, and was
foamin at the mouth like a steer calf
roped off from his nanny for the first
time. and there was mighty fear and
tremblin goin on over in the amen cor
Rer. Somethin was liable to happen at
any mint.
He has sinned agin thee, o Lord,
with the uplifted hand and the out
stretched arm" payed the Deacon, by
bearin false witness, by cheatin, and
slanderation, by cussin and drinkin,
and lyin and stealth, and
But it come to pass right then and
there. Old Davy had helt still and
took and swallowed a little bit moro
than he could stomach without hittin
back He went down after Deacon
Joiner like ton OF hot bricks, and by
the time the brethren could pull them
apart the Deacon looked like he mought
of rode buclxin mule through black
jack thicket.
What will they do next? There
amt no tellin for certain. Deacon Join
er put in law suit agin old Davy for
assaultto murder, and old Davy turn
ed in then and put in heavy claims agiu
the Deacon for slanderation of charac.

Feeding Cattle.

With good pastures the most eco
nonical gain is made on grass, the
grass-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 a mod
crate and varied grain ration, for the
only sense in which gains made on
Door 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
menta1y feed as good and we'll 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
n long way towards reducing the
shrink.-Live Stock Indicator.
