those six long, dreary, miserable years.
Think of the distress of a refined, modest
woman during the useless examinations
and treatment of four different doctors who
each and all failed to give her any comfort
Think of all this and then think that she
was finally cured completely, wholly, per
manently cured right in the privacy of her
home without the abhorrent "examina-
tions" and local treatment so uniformly
insisted upon by home physicians-cured
Just as she might have been six years before.
These simply the facts in the case of
Mrs. M. B. Wallace, of Muenster, Cook
Co., Texas, who writes:
II had been great sufferer from female weak
ness. tried four doctors and none did me any
relief. 1 followed your advice, and took four

MCPHERSON HAS RESIGNED
Report From Chihuahua That the
Mexican Central Manager Goes
With the Santa Fe.

A gentleman connected with the
Compania Observation-Disclosures who is
in Ell Paso on business stated yester-
day that report in chihuahua rail
road circles was practically confirmed,
to the effect that 81. r. Nickerson, vice
president and general man
ager of the Mexican Central rail-
way company, with headquarters In
the City of Mexico, has rendered his
resignation to that company, to take
effect January 1. and that he is to be
succeeded by j. ]. Frey, who recently
resigned from the position of general
manager of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe.
1t is reported that Mr.. Nickerson
will go with the Atchison in some high
official capacity. It is probable that
Mr.. Nickerson will be in Ell Paso in a
few days.
AS no Santa Fe general officers are
located here, no confirmation can be
given the rumor.
Railroad men generally, though,
give credence to the report. L. is an
Indication of the close relation exist
ing between Mexican Central and
Santa Fee official circles.

Employ es of local roads are working
mig lilly steadily these days, and q lay
off of any consequence either by one of
the boys voluntarily, or at the instance
of the company is rare. Full time with
lots of work is still Oh at all the shops,
and the G. 81. road has put on an
extra crew to handle the smelter work.
There is demand, too, for good
men, and the demand for labOre-s on
the W hise Oaks and Southern Pacific
is constant and Continued.

plying for a responsible position, must

IMPROVED
New Applications OF . Doctrine th&
Value of Which Has Been
known for a Long Time.

It was doubtless early in mans ex-
p%erience in farming that he learned
that some rotation of crops, rather
than growing the same successfully
on the land where it had previously
been grown, was Hscessary. But there
have come new applications of the doc
trine of rotation since it is known that
some crops are actually renovating to
the soil and that there is the greatest
advantages in alternating clover and
other legumipous crops with the
grains which are very exhaustive OF
fertility. Under the usual rotation the
land only comes to clover seeding
every fourth year, and in that time
n hoed crop, one small, spring grain
crop and one winter grain, wheat or
barley have been taken from it, which
with but one year in clover for hay
or pasture completes the rotation.
But neither spring small grains mol
winter grains give the profit they
once did. If one of these can. be left
| out, the clover seeding and growth
of clover will come every third year
instead OF, every fourth. Or if it is de-
sired to keep up the four-year'system,
the grain may be seeded with timothy
as well as with clover, and kept a
second year in grass, which if the first
year was mown ought to. be generally
pastured the second season. But this
requires that the land should be more
heavily MANFRED as the second year
nf x-h,nb g <ha fhfrl rrtn
after clover seed has been sowi, the
bulk of the clover will have run out.
The timothy roots will produce. a
good crop the third season, better
probably than the second years crop,
but it will be less advantage to the
land for subsequent crops after it has
been plowed again.
There is n still shorter rotation than
this sometimes practiced where farm
ers are exceedingly enthusiastic in
potato growing. That is to plant po-
tstoes On a clover sod, get the crop off
early, fit the land and SOW it with
wheat or rye in the fall, seeding heav-
lily with clover seed in the spring,
or else SOW the clover seed with spring
grain sown then. This clover is made
to grow as large as possible the first
season, though care is taken 10 cut
it down should there be any danger
OF its heading and seeding. When the
midsummer has been dry, followed by
wet weather as autumn comes on,
spring-sown clover will sometimes cut
a ton of dried hay per acre. and if
left long enough will go to seed. All
that does do so will die the following
winter. 1t should be cut as soon as
heads begin to show, and then a fair
growth may be expected the following
spring. As the field is to be plowed
for potatoes again the next spring,
there is not time to allow the clover to
grow very large ard vet fit the land
for a good seed bed. This plan works
well for a few years. It's drawbacks
are that one years growth of clover
does not keep up the soil fertility, |
and that if potatoes are thus largely |
planted they must have a good deal
of mineral fertilizers, which are moro
costly than manuring with clover

Both the roof and the floor of the
