Tho Wise Farmer Plans to Raise Rom,
Supplies.
Let us outline, if we can, how q wise
farmer plans. First and foremost he
arranges TO raise home supplies-his
bread, meat, milk and butter, chickens,
turkeys and ducks. lie sees clearly
that TO raise cotton to sell and buy
these he has to pay profits and commits
SIGN to other farmers who raise them
to merchants who buy and ship the M:
to railroads which haul them; to his
merchant who sells them to him for
at least four profits over and
above the first coast of produc-
ton, and he See no reason
why he should not pocket those prof. is
himself, for every dollar saved is dol
lar made. lie will raise not only
enough supplies for his own family,
but for his laborers also, for if these
have to buy from merchants the labor
ers will have to pay the four profits
mentioned above, aud he might as well
secure those profits for himself. He
will raise not only enough supplies, but
variety of them, knowing that varie-
ty is not only pleasing to the palate,
but contributive to health and vigor,
and may save him many a doctors bill.
The bill of fare of farmers generally is
too limited and not varied enough
good as far as it goes. but too much
sameness aboutit. After these general
considerations, let us particularize
some.-Dixie Farmer.

Appliances on the Farm that are Time

There is frequently time enough lost

Gently saw man and two boys pick
ing corn in the field and throwing it
directly into the wagon-box instead of
using baskets. This necessitated much
uncalled-for STOPPING. Quite con trast
to this was the method practiced by q
young farmer who recently moved into
our community. He lad quite large
number of light boxes made of half.
inch pine boards. These boxes are
about two inches shorter and mar
rover at the bottom than the
top, SO that they pack together
like sugar-lnakers pack their sap
buckets. This young farmer distrib-
uted his boxes along a row OF corn
shocks, and the huskers filled them as
the corn was husked. The farmer then
came along with his platform wagon
and loaded up the boxes, thus saving
all the labor Of picking the corn from
the ground.
The first farmer would have found it
an advantage to have had two good
baskets or boxes, permitting the boys
to till them up when he emptied them
into the wagon-box. l consider it
economical to use boxes instead of
baskets. buy nice boxes OF our shoe

able size and make handle for each
end from piece of old harness-trace.
On smaller boxes l place handles over
the center by taking a heavier and
longer piece of trace. These boxes will
last longer with the same care given
them than the average basket, and for
most work l prefer them to the baskets.
These boxes l also use for numerous
other purposes. The largest ones /
make into chicken-coops by removing
one side and replacing the boards with
plastering-lath. These are light and
easily handled, they are tight SO as to
protect the little chicks. and when in

VEGETABLES AND FRUITS,

Every Farm Should Have Its Vegetable
and Fruit Garden.
No one is worthy the name Of farmer
certainly of wise farmer-who does
not arrange to have an abundance of
vegetables and fruits for his household.
1t can be done SO easily and ut so little
cost, that failure to do so is simply I'M
pardonable. A long, narrow garden
admits OF cultivation with the pillow
and reduces handwork IN the garden
TO minimum. Different vegetables
can be planted in rows, instead Of in
beds, and can be cultivated with pillow
quite as easily us cotton and corn.
Surprising a garden to be an ucre,
one days blowing will break it. and
one full days blowing with scrape or
cultivator will give it four workings,
Tor a cultivator or scrape will cultivate
four acres day. Is there any acre on
any farm which would pay better? A
wise farmer thinks not. Another
acre IN fruits, once set, will call for no
greater amount of labor, notwithstand-
ing the fact that wise farmer will

as carefully as he will his cotton and

This bone cutter and small corn
shelter are great aids in caring for the
poultry. Before securing the bone
cutter it was necessary to cut up the
bones with an ak and then pound them

A few barrels Or boxes filled with

An Old Warehouse Of journalism Dis.

Medicinal VARIETY.

There are only few of them left.
Since Chas. A. Dana's death, Joseph Me
dill, the war-horse of the Chicago Tribune,
IS the chlet surviving representative of the
old school of virile, aggressive editorial
giants.
To have mud thrown at them was part of
the profession at all times, but to find health
is what Joseph Medill has been doing of
late.
Mr.. Medill is an investigator and when
the stories of the miraculous Magno- Mud at
Indiana Mineral Springs began to spread
over the country, the great editor became
interested and eventually decided to try this
mysterious substance on his own rheumatic
limbs and weigh its value. He was accom-
panied by his private physician, young
Armenian scientist of high attainments.
The great editor was mud -mummtied daily
for several weeks and gained visibly in
weight, strength and vitality.
The final result of the experiment was an
unqualified success. Mr.. Medill went
back to Chicago in September, and wrote an
editorial about Magno- Mud with his own
hand. Next, he sent his sonin-law for a
little of the Entertainment In November
be went down again, and since the new
bath house is completed he expects to be q
regular visitor four times year.
This mud-treatment in which Mr.. Medill
found SO much virtue, is peculiar, yet logical.
After all, every form of life springs from the
earth, which is the great destroyer and assim-
ilator of dead and effete matter. At the
Indiana Mineral Springs is beautiful little
natural amphitheatre, the slopes being
grown with magnificent oaks. At the foot Of
the, converging hills, big Lithia spring
gushes forth at the rate of 5000 barrels day
and floods the soil, which consists of rich,
black porous loan, fed by the deciduous
foliage of the oak trees. This peculiar soil
saturated with mineral salts for ages, is as
soluble as sugar, and being devoid of clay is
not sticky in the least. 1t is not, therefore,
in any sense related to the conventional mud

He tried the best physicians but without
being benefited and has used several specific
rheumatic cures, but was not helped.
About one year and six months ago he read
in this paper of case somewhat similar to
his which was cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and concluded to try this remedy.
After taking the first box he felt some
what better, and after using three boxes, the
pains entirely disappeared, the dizziness left
him, and he has now for over a year been
entirely free from all his former trouble and
enjoys better health than he has had since
his boyhood.
He is loud in his praise of Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and will gladly
corroborate the above statements. His post

Jackson County, Michigan.

life and richness to the blood and restore

densed form, in DR.. Williams Pink Pills for

Of age, and actively engaged in farming.
When seventeen years old he hurt his
shoulder and few years after commenced
to have rheumatic pains in it, On taking a
slight cold or the least strain, sometimes
without any apparent cause whatever, the
trouble would start and he would suffer the
most excruciating pains.
He suffered for over thirty years, and the
last decade has suffered so much that he
was unable to do any work. To this the fire.
quent occurrences of dizzy spells were added.
