for several years. She was not able to do her
work, she had such bearing down pains and pain
in her back. Her periods were irregular, vary
times she would have fainting spells so bad that
l thought she could not live. She was attended
by the best doctors in the country. They did
her no good and she grew worse all the time I

Every day, dose. Once you start, you
can never stop them. That is the way with
some so-ca1led remedies for constipation.
1t is different with DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. They are positive, complete and
permanent cure for constipation and they
don't become habit. One Pellet is a
gentle laxative and two mild cathartic.
Druggists sell them. Nothing else is

the annual product of a single acre
cultivated in rye and sorghum, the
yield fed mainly in the soiling pro-
cess. The rye, sOwed thickfy in the
drills, in heavily fertLized soil, the
seeding done early i'm October is ready
for feeding in December. 1t is avail
able as a green food until May or ear
ly June, by which time the sorghum
plant is ready for the knife, this prod
uct coming in drills between the rows
of rye. The sorghum, not consumed
in the soiiing, with it's matured seed
and forage, together with the matur-
ed rye not used in soiling, makes the
food for the remainder of the year

For those who prefer pasturage to
soiling during winter we have grasses
which remain green during the entire
season from October until May. The
most valuable of these is the Texas
btle grass. This possesses the quail

Montana and the blue grass of Ken
lucky All kinds of farm stock are
very fond of it. 1t begins to grow
rapidly with the coming of the fall
rains about Sept. 20. It remains green

pastured, will make a heavy crop of

nearly two feet in height, it's leaves

the Montana grass, the Plant shrives

Beans, peas and corn should be COW
cred from one-fourth to one-haM inch
according to the nature of the soil.
3. Keep your seed beds moist but
during extremely dry weather twice
a day or oftener if required. Tender
seeds, such as celery, onions, leek and
cau,ifower may be shaded during the
hottest part of the day, they have to
be uncovered in the evening while the
sun is still on the bed, well, watered
and left uncovered during the night.
During cloudy weather NO covering is
needed, nor should they be covered
when they are up, otherwise the
young plants become too tender and
damp off.
4. Previous to planting have your
seed beds well prepared; have the soil
we'll pull verified and mellow, but not
owing to constant watering, on the
surface, which prevents the tender
germ from pushing through.
$. Never use fresh manure in the
seed bed, if any is needed use we'll
rotted horse, or in light sandy soil
COW manure and incorporate it we'll
with tn soil before sowing the seed.
Approximate Time for Certain Va
rieties of Seed to Germnate-The
time for seed to terminate depends
entirely upon the weather and the
treatment of the seed bed; we will
try though to give as much as WE

Florida Syrup.

is cane syrup from the sandy lands
Syrup from cane grown on the rich,
black, unclaimed lands at Kissimmee,
or on the aluvian bottoms of Louis
lana is not nearly equal TO it in deli
cate 11avor and aroma; amy more than
the California wines from the rank,
adobe lands are equal to the choice
vintages of the red hills. There is
the Florida sandy lands which imparts
a high flavor that can never be equal
led by the dark, heavy lno.asses from
cane grown on a sol, of rank vegeta-
bic remains. There is the same supe-
riority in an apple grown on the red
cay hills of Southeastern Ohio over
one raised on Ghe rich alluvial of the
river Cattow, not a quarter of a mile
Distant
But this admirable product is so Of
ten abused i'm the making by ignorant
or dishonest farmers that its undoubt-
ed great merits have been obscured
and overlooked, and many farmers
boil it down so little that it is scarce
ly more than sweetened water. 1t is
not skinned or properly clarified and
comes out dark and muddy, or it is
put into barrels which impart
woody taste.
Unless it is well cleansed of vegeta-
bic matter and herme tically sealed
up, it ferments in he spring, or else
crystaQizes, and it has to- be boiled
over to be rendered edible.
But the farmers are gradually
learning what a delicious and money
making product they have within
their reach, and large number of
the market. One of the most surpris-
It this fall. Of course, much of it will
be worthless, owing to their ineXperi-
ence, but an excellent beginning has
been made. Several carloads of it have
been sent to Northern cities to test
themarket. One of the most surpris-
ing discoveries made in regard to it's
manlfa cture is that for which the
State is indebted to Prof. III. E. Stock
bridge, of the State Experiment Sta
ton, to wit: that the best strainer or
cleanser in making cane syrup is the
long Spanish moss so abundant in this
State. 1t is said to impart a purity
and a limpidness which can not be Sc
cured by any other process.
Nine samples of red cane grown at
the Experiment Station yielded an
average of 23.45 per cent sugar; nine
samples of green cane yielded an av
erage of Is per cent. Total for the Is
samples, an average of 1912 per cent
sugar This is better than Cuban or
Louisiana cane; but, of course, Florida
pine lands need more fertilizer than
land in those countries.
One acre of fair average cane will
produce 5000 pounds of sugar, worth
at present AZ cents per pound, Or
$135 per acre. An equal division be-
tween the farmer and the central sug
ar factory would give each one $3.50.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The president
Tuesday announced at the cabinet
meeting shortly after it assembled for

Washington, Jan. 20. = The charges
and specifications in the court-martial
of Commissary Gen. Eagan have been
drafted and are now in the hands of
the president. The charges are con-
duct unbecoming an officer and gem
tleman and conduct prejudicial to good
specifications quote largely from Gen
Eagan's statement attacking Gen.
Miles before the war Investigating
commission.

NEW NAVAL STATION.
Government Takes Possession of Mis-
sion Rock in the Day of San
Francisco.

Washington, Jan. 20.-The president
has issued an executive order setting
apart what is known as Mission rock,
in San Francisco bay, as naval reser-
walton. The purpose is to use it az a
coaling station, and the departments
experts report that it will be the best
station that can be had in San Fran
cisco bay. Lying just opposite the
Union iron works, in very deep water,
this little island is seven miles nearer
the entrance to the bay than is Mare
island, and will save great deal of
time and some risk to the largest naval
vessels in taking on coal. The navy
department. sent out instructions to
the commandant of Mare island to take
possession Of the Rock in the name of
the United States. 1t is claimed by
private parties under grant from the
state of California, but the govern
ment insists that its title is good. The
place is valued at a quarter of million
dollars

Washington, Jan. 20.-The Cuban

Thursday and its members submitted

the secretary of war a report on their

to the future government of the rs
lands and embodies no political recon-
mendations whatsoever, consisting
practically of record of its proceed
ings with the voluminous correspond
ence passing mainly between it, the
Spanish commission and the admins
tration at Washington. Secretary
Alger and the president warmly con-
graduated the commission on its sue
