Or. Harlandson relates the case of Miss
Helen Sholes of Nashville, who was cured
OF dyspepsia and gained eighteen pounds
IN weight after suffering from stomach

them IN all stomach troubles because they
are not a secret patent medicine but con-

valuable diSestives, which digest the food
Wnetner the stomach works or not, gives
It the needed rest and a cure is the natural

DIR. Jennison says nine tenths of disease
Is caused by indigestion and Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets is the safest and best cure,
because they are not a secret patent'med

I've have been greatly troubled by the
co.ery going to seed" when planters in
me spring Is there any means of pre-
ysrting this?"
Such soil as you describe hardly needs
sny additional fertilizing, but it may be
that some mineral elements might be ap-
pIiad to advantage A mixture of two to
three hundred pounds of acid phosphate
and two to five hundred pounds of cotton
hull ashes will do no harm. even if it is
not actually needed. 1t may be that pot
ash is needed, and also phosphoric acid,
bat if the land is capable of making fifty
bushels of corn unaided. it ought TO grow
celery without help. To make crisp cell
ery there should always be plenty of nj
uogCn The presumption is that such a
soil as yours is supplied with that, but
if YOU suspect not. you might add TO the
above 100 pounds of nitrate of soda or 200
pounds OF cotton seed meal, the nitrate
used as a top dressing after the plants
have made some growth. II the meal IS
used it is well to harrow it in to depth
There is nothing better for celery than
some good old compost, or stable manure,
or cotton seed mixed with the acid phos-
plate and ashes The ashes are better
than kaint or other German salts for the
purpose. We presume you can get them.
lfnOt YOU can use the potash salts in about
the same quantity. Any good CONNER
cial fertilizer containing 10 per cent. or
more of phoSphoric acid (aVailable) and
8 per cent or more of potash can be used
in the absence of other materials.
After celery gets its growth nothing can
be done to keep down seeding except gath
erng it and cutting off the roots, and
then keeping it fairly moist. You must
arrange your paintings so that maturing
of the plants occur as they are wanted
Tor use. Celery for autumn or winter
must not be set out until August If set
out early in the spring it will mature in
midsummer, and will not keep in good con-
duon very long after full growth has
occurred. Do you observe the bed plan, -
or DO YOU plant in wide rows, according to

Tampa. Fla, Feb. IA neat four-page.
slx-column paper appeared here yester-
day afternoon under the title of the Tam
pa Daily Herald. 1t is operated by a
Joint company and is the result of a strike
which occurred at the Office Of the Tampa
Daily Times a few months ago. The
Times had been a union Office up to that
time and the typos at work on that paper
were about all there was of the union in
this city, so when the Times declared itself
an open Office" a general strike ensued.
This found a warm sympathizer in Mr..
j. d. Calhoun, editor of the Times for
several years past, and when the strik-
ers, or a part of them, decided to estab-
lish a paper of their own on a cooperative
basis Mr.. Calhoun was induced to go
with them.
The pilot schooner Belle, which was
wrecked down at Egmont Key on the
night Of Jan. 81, now lies at the dock Of

broken, her counter is torn off, her bull
warks are crushed In, the bowsprit and
cutwater are lost and the boat floats only
even with the surface OF the water. The
amount of the damage will not be
known until she is hauled out.

The Hardy Orange Versus the Usage
Orange as a Hedge Plant.

Mr.. Miller speaks enthusiastically of the
Usage orange for hedging. and says that
he has had ten years experience with it.
l have had forty years experience with it,
and would say to Mr.. Miller that he has
not yet gotten into the trouble with the
thing. In my boyhood and young man
hood large part of Kent county, Mary
land, was fenced with the most beautiful
Usage orange hedges, as well kept as
hedges ever are, nay better, for they were
well kept. Now you will hardly find any
there, and believe that a man who would
try to get the Kent county farmers to
plant Usage hedges would be merely vast
ing his time
my earnest protest, about three miles of
hedge of this plant, to be grown and man
aged as Mr.. Miller directs. That was
about ten years ago. \ small part of il,
on level and fertile bottom land, is a pass
able fence, but the rema nder never will
be a fence, and the who.e line has cost
more than it would have cost to put up
and maintain in good order the best woven
wire fence made.
Ten years hence the farmers of Freder-
ick county will not be planting any more
Usage hedges. Note this prediction. l do
not approve of hedges as farm fences at
all, but If man wants a live fence he can
make one with the hardy orange (Citrus
trifoliata) in four years, without any wire
or trimming, that will be a better fence
than the Usage will ever be on the same
ldAlu 1 ne USAGE - naturally d large lEHes
and it finally resents the pruning necessary
to keep it in a hedge form, and no mat
ter whether you prune the roots or the
top it will finally succumb to either. The
hardy orange only needs a pruning of
the rank shoots at the top once a year.
and never needs any FLASHING at all. 1t
is prettier than the Usage (Which is not an
orange at alb both in summer and winter
and when laden with its yellow fruit is
very bautiful thing But it is evident
that the day of the hedge fence as a farm
enclosure has gone by in this country.
The many forms of wire fences are better
and cheaper, both in the long run and the
first setting. They harbor no weeds and
draw no fertility from the adjoining land.
w. f. Massey.
Here in the south, as no doubt in many
other sections, the land owner that resorts
to Usage orange for the purpose of fenc-
ing will not regret it, but once and when
he does come to regret it he will regret
it sorely. We are quite sure it is good
advice to urge farmers TO let Usage orange
severely alone. The regret will come SOON
er or later if he does not For one per-
feet hedge of it giving full satisfaction for
term of years there will be a score that
will cause regret and disappointment.

Spare the Brand and Speed the PIo7v

The work of preparing the land for
spring seeding should now be in progress
all through the south, says the Southern
Planter. However much difference of
opinion there may be as to fall blowing,
there is none as to early spring blowing.
Whilst the weather is dry and the ground
in good condition, keep the plows going.

the northern section of the southern

the subsoil is a good one and not leachy.
In this way greater depth of soil will be
had and a reserve Of moisture secured
which can be got in no other way. AS we
much more frequently suffer from drouth
than from too much rain. il is wise to en-
deavor to husband all the moisture that
can be secured. Even should the summer
prove a wet one, well broken subsoil will
take care of a crop better than one which
has neverA been disturbed. DO not plow
when the land is wet and the soil does
not work mellow and leave the pillow clean.
Land ploWed when too wet is very difficult
to get into good condition by the use of
any implements, and always involves
much labor which would otherwise be un-
necessary If the land TO be plowed is
covered with a growth of weeds or stalks,
run over it with a heavy harrow on a
frosty morning. This will break down the
growth and permit of its being buried I'M

humus, and this can only be supplied by
