DISCOVERED BY A WOMAN.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by lady in this
country. 'Disease fastened its clutch
es upon her, and for seven years she
withstood its severest tests, but her vi
tai organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered way to
recovery, by purchasing of us bottle
of DIR. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was SO muck relieved on
taking first dose that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz." Thus writes w. g.
Hamnick & Co., of Shelby, N. G. Trial
bottles free at w Legg's drug store.
Regular size SOC and $1.OO. Every bot
tie guaranteed.

terminating Seeds.

Complaints are ofteil made to seeds
men by experienced truck farmers
and planters, that certain varieties of
garden and field seeds are slow In
coming up or fail entirely. The fault
as a general rule is mostly the gar
deners, but the scotsman invariably
gets the blame, mostly unjust and
groundless, but he is blamed and Of
ten abused nevertheless. For the
guidance of those which are inexpe-
rienced we deem it necessary to Lay
down the following rules:
i. Never SOW out Of time Many
of our truck farmers are in the habit
of sowing too SOON and in conse-
quence are often compelled to SOW
double the quantity to get a good
stand. AS to the proper time for SOW
ing read our directions for planting.
2. Do not cover seeds too deep, it
will be impossible for the finer varie-
ties to push Through, especially if the
soil is heavy and claylike. The rule,
is never to cover seeds more than
twice their thickness except the finer
ones which require no covering at all.
They should be slightly pressed in
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-01-18

The farmer should clear as much
more, or a total of 1915 for his crop,
besides his other staples. To do this
he would need a bunch of cattle 20
cowpen his cane land, and to supple
ment this he would require say 500
pounds of chemical fertilizers per
acre, costing about $3.50. 1t is, taken
altogether, one of the most promising
farm staples of the State.
1t is estimated that the entire crop
off sugar and syrup made by the farm
ers of the State this year is equiva
lent to 2O,OOO,OOO pounds of sugar.

Oranges in Paraguay.

Oranges are of prolific growth in
Paraguay, being found everywhere,
many growing wild. They are cult
waited, however, on farms. The seed
will bear five years after being plant
ed. The orange fourishes all the year,
except in January, February and
March. A 7-year-old tree bears about
1000 oranges. The orange is one of
the most generally used articles of
food in Paraguay, forming staple

fin, writing from Asuncion to the
State Department, three classes which
might he mentioned ordinary
Paraguayan orange, the mandarin and
the bitter orange. The first l have
described and herewith send a few
seeds for the purpose of ascerta ming

soil. There are not great MANY man
DARN plants in Paraguay, and the

is ready and the price is remunera-
tive.
The third class is the sour or bitter
orange, from which marmalade is
made. There is also an extract made
from the blossoms. Some Frenchmen
are engaged in this business, which is
remunerative.-Cal California Fruit Grow
