A FEW FACTS.

We have lived in Mt. aSterling
for more than twenty-three years.
1t has been the prime OF our life
that has been spent here. and o
our doings and our character
formed the people can judge.
From March rs, 1876, when we
made this city our home have we
not labored all the while. Have
we been loafer1 Go ask the

The young and ambitious who
have sought fields for their own
gain and development, even to
the editor Of the Sentinel-Demo-
GRAFT, who is it that helped them
along.
In the West there livesfa man
to-day of power and influence who
counts his money by the thous-
ands made so by the editor of the
ADVOCATE dividing his scant
means and affording the opportun-
ity.
Two weeks ago a prosperous
business man Of this city, dropped
into our office and gave us an in
cident. 1t was encouraging to
know we had at a time when least
expected, by our journalistic work,
given help. This man was far from
home amidst strangers; his bust
ness qualifications, and his char
icter were unknown. He was the
oookkeeper for an enterprise that
had succumed to the panic of
ew years ago. Those interested
we're wild and demanding; conten-
ions existed. The news had
cached US through the press of

Women Should Know.

Many women suffer untold agony
and misery because the mature OF
their disease is not correctly under
stood. They have been led to believe
that womb trouble or female weakness
of some sort is responsible for the
many ills that beset wOmankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes,
rheumatism, dragging pain or dull
ache in the back, weakness OF bearing
down sensation, profuse or scanty
supply of urine with strong odor, fire.
quent desire to pass it with scalding
or burning sensation, sediment in It
after standing in bottle or common
glass for twenty-four hours, are signs
of kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often at
tributed by the patient herself or by
her physician to female weakness or
womb trouble Hence, so many fail
to obtain relief, because they are
treating, not the disease itself, but
reflection of the primary cause, which
is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are
made miserable with kidney and blad-
der trouble and both need the same
remedy.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is the
great discovery of the eminent kid
ney and bladder specialist, and is easy
to get at any drug store for fifty cents
or one dollar.
To prove it's wonderful merits you
may have a sample bottle and book
telling you all about it, both sent alb
solutely free by mail. Kindly men
ton the Florida Agriculturist and
send your address to DR.. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

Growing Legumes for Nitrogen.

Nitrogen is the most expensive as
we'll as most easily lost Of the three
chief fertilizer materials. 1t is worth
in dry and fine ground fish 17A cents
Il pound; in cotton seed meal 1G%; i'll
fine ground bone Is. The best form
of phosphoric acid is worth only GE
cents; potash six.
fact of unreasonable Importance
to the Florida soil tiller is, that he can
raise his own nitrogen in crops of cow
peas, desmodium, velvet beans and
crimson clover. At the Rhode Island
Experiment Station a crop Of cow
peas was grown on an acre, which
weighed green, 17h tons. This con-
tanned 1917 pounds of nitrogen, which
at Is cents a pound, gave the product
the acre value Of $23.63 for ma
nurial purposes alone.
If plOwed under in it's full Succu-
lence, this would sour and injure the
land. But it could be left until nearly
ripe and nearly dry before being plow-
ed under, and it would still be worth
at least $500 an acre, and would not

iniure the land by souring it.
Such a vOluminous growth as this
could not be plOWed under without
cutting a furrOw so deep as to lacerate
the roots of fruit trees a few years old.
But no such growth would be pro
duced in Florida; the crop which
would grow in most places here, if
rolled or dragged down, could be
chained under" with sharp, clean
cut pillow opening a furrOW three inch
es deep. True the nitrogen desirable
from this source would be available at
an inopportune time of the year; it
ought, for the best results, to be had
very early in the summer. if not in the
spring. But here might come in the
crimson clover as an alternate, Xs~ld
ing Il crop rich in nitrogen-as early
as needed-say in March or April. The
result of a winters growth. The COW
pea and clover seed would cost about
$500 per acre, and the labor about
$500 more Though this would be per-
.ormed by the grower HIMSELF, giving
at least $500 worth Of nitrogen per
acre at an expense of 5000.
There are many locations in the
South where, owing to the nature of
we'll enough to be called a success
Here the supply of nitrogen will have
to be obtained from cowpeas velvet
beans, or desmodium, tbeggar weed,)
ploWed under late in the fall or in the
winter. Nitrogen is an element
which is easily washed out of the soil
or otherwise dissipated, and a cOnsid-
cradle amount Of it would disappear
during the winter, even if the cowpeas
are plOWed under. The surface should
be covered with some winter growing
crop, as rye or oats, which will absorb
the nitrogen, then this crop can be
ploWed under in the spring, and thus
the nitrogen will be preserved.
The farmer ought always to bear in
mind that nitrogen-making plant
must be well supplied with potash and
phOsphOric acid. These will make the
plant nitrogen-hungry; it wfK appropri-
ate and aSsimilate more than it would
without these elements, which may be
said to constitute, together with the
nitrogen a balanced plant-food. AS
these elements are almost universally
lacking in Florida soils, they should be
supplied literally. If not, the growth
of the plant will be one-sided and very
deficient in volume. Southern Rural

Some novelties and specialties in
flowers are reported up on 10Y writer
in Vick's Magazine Us follows:
The Towering Pea Bush is grand
new plant from Japan and one that at
once jumped into favor among gar
deners everywhere. Our public parks
now show some very fine specimens,
and they attract "a great deal OF atten-
tom. The bush grows four OF five feet
tall, the branches being of dropping
habit which is especially beautiful at
the blooming season, when each one
is loaded with the delicate pea shaped
flowers. They bloom during August
and September, the flowers, a pale
purple color, produced in long clus-
ters. The plant is entirely hardy, but
the top dies down each season.
The Rudbecllia Golden Glow is an
other hardy plant that was a favorite
from its first introduction. 1t is en-
tirely hardy, having originated in
northern Illinois where the thermom-
eter often reaches 25 degrees to 80 de-
grees below zero. The plants grow to
a great size, six to ten feet high, an
in short time forming large clumps,
which increase in beauty every year.
The blooming season is from August
until frost, and the flowers are very
numerous. They are a brilliant gold
en- yellow color, double and borne IN
long stiff stems. For decorations NO
flowers can be finer and they are in
great demand for that purpose.
Hibiscus Crimson Eye has been in
our garden for two years and makes
a grand display. Few plants will fur
nish flowers as large as a saucer, but
this one produces many Of that size.
With us the branches die down to the
ground every winter, coming up with
increased vigor in the spring. I'm
mense blossoms four to six inches are
produced in abundance. They are
pure white with a rich crimson cen
ter, which latter affords a fine con
trast to the pure white petals. The
plant is perfectly hardy, will succeed
anywhere and blooms the first season.
