The Severity of this Dis
ease Increases Each
Winter.

Though the disagreeable effects of Ca
tarrh are felt all the year round, cold
and unpleasant weather aggravates
the disease and it is during the winter
season that it's severest form is felt.
Each succeeding year seems to in
tensify the disease, SO that it gradually
fastens its hold upon the sufferer with
q grasp that becomes frmer each sea-
son.
Catarrh often appears as only q cold
at first, and is Lardly noticed. But
gradually the cold returns, and it is
more difficult to cure, and stays longer
than formerly. These symptoms can
not be mistaken; they mark the first
appearance of . disease that will de-
velop in severity and stubbornness, and
which it is impossible to cure with the
local treatment of sprays, washes, and
similar applications. Being q disease
of the blood, only blood remedy can
have the slightest effect upon it. S.S.S.
(Swift's Specihc) is the only cure for
Catarrh, because it is the only blood
remedy which goes to the seat Of all OBJ
stinate cases, and forces out the disease.
Mr.. T. A. Williams, leading mer-
chant of Spartanburg, 8. c., writes:

How to Prevent Pneumonia

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe a few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, It was observed that the
attack was never followed by that dis
ease when Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy was used. It cOunteractS any ten
dency of a cold or la grippe to result
in that dangerous disease. 1t is the best

Value of Green Manuring.


There is one point which farmers
have not yet thoroughly learned con-
corning green manuring, says the
Prairie Farmer.
Every once in while Their lis talk
OF very short crop, usually corn, fol-
lowing the turning under of clover or
rye, more particularly the latter; and
IN nine cases out of ten the trouble
may be traced to the fact that the crop
was put in too soon after the turning
under of the green manure. Then
put 1T in another way, the rye was not
turned under soon enough. The result
was that the vegetable matter not
having time to decay and become a
part Of the soil prevented the roots of
the grain from penetrat ting to the sub
soil and getting the hold required to
perfect the top growth. One may go
even farther and say that a good crop
ought not to be expected in the same
season with the turning under of the
green manure. 1t is generally under
stood that plants can use as food only
such matter as is soluble during the
season the turned under rye will be in
condi ton to materially assist in max
ing crop of the same grain that fail
ed from the causes given, simply be-
cause the green manures will have
them become a part of the soil and
ready to assist in plant growth. Plow
the rye under early, as soon as the
ground can be worked harrow and
roll and fair crop will result the first
season, With heavy one the second.
Il is unfair to expect from green ma
nures the quick effect on plant growth
that is had from stable and CONNER
cial fertilizers, out they have their
part in increasing soil fertility, and
should be generally used.

Oranges in a Year.

The Pacific Coast Fruit World has
the following in reference to an alleg-
ed remarkable discovery of Secretary
LelOng. of the California Board of
Horticulture. 1t says:
Secretary Lelong of the State Board
of Horticulture today announces the
most important discovery of the
board, and one which will mean mill
ions of dollars to the horticultlrists of
the State.
'For' many months past Secretary
LelOng has been endeavoring to grow
cuttings from different species of
trees 10y grafting them on a
foster mother root. Success has
crowned his efforts, and he now gives
the result Of his work to the hOrticul
tural world. His discovery means in
a nutshell, that you can take the limb
of any kind of tree, put foster moth
er limb to it, and in a very short time
the limb will take root and become
a tree
Climbs two feet long were taken
from Washington navel orange trees
and united With foster mother roots
and placed in a sandy SELL and in
eight months they had attained
growth equal to two or three years by
the ordinary methods. The same re-
suits were obtained from the olive, APP
pie, peach and pear, together with
other varieties of trees. AS a result
of this discovery Secretary Lelong
says that our horticulturists will not
have to wait five years for orange
trees to bear as they can probably be
advanced to the bearing stage in one

How to Cure Moss.

In many sections they go to the

pump water into them, fill them with
green moss and rot it in this way.

one day, work as hard as you would

three months pull your moss out, dry
for a day or two, bring to the moss

olives the bearing time can be reduced
from four years to one year, and the
same is true of apples, pears and
peaches. This will make an enormous
difference financially to fruit growers.

All Lands in Cuba Not Suitable for

orange boom of twenty years ago, hay

a word of caution just at this time
would not be out of place.
During the above mentioned boom
people rushed to Florida to engage in
the culture of citrus fruits, and, ID
many cases, located on lands as unfit
for their purposes as they were for
polar bear farms.

produces the best oranges in the world
therefore every acre can be made a
profitable grove, is a mistake of as
large proportions as % suppose that

A Promising Legume.

The attention which is being direct
ed to developing special drouth-resist-
ing forage crops is bringing into view
some valuable plants which have been
heretofore somewhat neglected ~1pA tie
Southwest, where the conditions are
especially dry Or semi-arid, Nature has
developed a number of Wild legumin-
Osae which are peculiarly fitted TO
withstand drOuths. but which are ca
pNble of great improvement under cul-

of these wild species is the Metcalfe
bean (Phaseolus ratusus). This bean
is a perennial and develops enormous
feshy roots, often growing to the size
of large yams and weighing as much
as thirty pounds. All perennials grow

lions from the crowns, much after the

the Metca1fe bean shows great ilr-
provement over the wild plant. The
quantity and quality of the forage is
increased with ordinary farm culture.
and the bean shows capablllty FOR
great development with one or two
years cultivation. The forage can be
cut twice a season.
Like all leguminOus plants, this
bean is a ga therer of free nitrogen
