A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK.
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
ut 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 rs rule move slowly. but the
sad experience Of many indus
trious farmers in Alabama dur
ing he 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
much-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 a farmer has con-
stantly made it a rule to sell his farm
products instead of buying them, but
he is prosperous man, and one who
has credit II he 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-
chantable 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
| il the country is spared a 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

Chilli is the only country where

AN farmer who has large manure
heap can derive additional profit from
it by allowing the hens to have free

over the manure, and they secure a

If the hogs are turned into the

Clean out the fence corners and

This is one of the curiosities of com.

Hens that will not lay under other
circumstances will always produce
eggs when allowed on the manure

them from becoming overfat, and keeps
them in the best possible condition foI

ity in these two classes Is greatly due
to gardening. and It's productions ana

for the proper enjoyment of mankind.
Good vegetables, fruit, pure water and

The following note as to tho me-
dicinal value of vegetables, by an En-
glish authority, may be OF interest:
Satisfy is recommended to those VINO
sufferfrom biliousness.
Carrots and parsley are powerful di.
uretics.
Spinach has a direct effect upon the
kidneys.
The common dandelion and nettle,
used as green's, are excellent Tor tne
same trouble.
Asparagus and sekale enliveu the
blood and keep 1t pure.
Celery acts admirably upon the nerv-
GUS system and is cure for rheuma-
tism and neuralgia.
Beets and turnips are excellent ap-
petizers and blood cleansers; likewise
Is cabbage.
Lettuce and cucumber are cooling In
their effect upon the system, eaten
cooked or raw; the former Is said TO
cure jaundice effectually.
Onions, garlic, leeks and shallots, all
of which are similar, possess medical
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,
and the white ones are recommended to
be eaten raw as remedy for insomnia.
They are tonic and nutritious.
A soup made from onions is regarded
by some as an excellent restorative in
debility OF the digestive organs.
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 valuable drink.
