Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale OF any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean ont the
system, and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nerves and organic
action Of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's Au-
gust Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. For sale by deal

Practical Education for Farmers.

A handsomely illustrated folder de-
scrib!ng the courses in agriculture Of
fered by the University of Tennessee
from January 3 to March IA, 1901, has
just been issued. From hurried ex-
animation of its contents, it is evident
that all interested in agricultural edu-
cation would appreciate a copy, which
we understand can be secured free of
cost ON application. The object of the
short course, as set forth in the circular
is to provide instruction in improved
methods of dairying animal husbandry,
farming and fruit growing and the
principles underlying these arts, at a
time when the work of the farm is least
pressing and in a way that can be east
ly understood by those who have not
had extended schooling. The course
is not University course in the sense
of being devoted to a study of books,
for while the student is encouraged to
read the greater part of the time is
spent in the dairy, the barn, the fruit
plantations and in actual practical
work.
Tuition is free and no entrance exam
ination is required beyond the rudi-
ments of education received in the pub
lie schools. All students, however,
must be at least 1G years Of age; other
wise there is no age to limit. The total
expenses of the course, exclusive of
railroad fare, need not exceed $50; of
this 800 is paid to the University as
an incidental fee. The expenses are so
insignificant compared with the benefits
to be derived that this need not deter
any from entering this course; in fact,
any ambitious young man can earn all
the money required for actual expenses
in single year.
The agricultural equipment of the
University includes library of 90, 900
volumes, a large brick building deyot-
ed to agricultural work, two large barns,
a seed laboratory and farm Office a new
dairy building erected and equipped at
a cost of $40, 900, besides special labora-
tories for soil physics, chemistry,
meteorology and botany, and green
houses and cold frames for horticul-
tural work The University farm com
prises 1916 acres and is devoted to ex-
perimental work, and there is aseparate
fruit farm. There are 500 uniform test
plots for studying rotations, selection,
plant breeding, etc. We are informed
that the equipment is unsurpassed by
that of any agricultural college in the
south.
Special courses are offered in dairy
ing, horticulture, and agriculture,
horticulture and shop work combined,
so that a student desiring to specialize
along certain lines may do so. Courses
of lectures and exercises are provided
in animal husbandry, dairying, farm
crops, horticulture, botany, agriculture
chemistry, meteorology, veterinary
science, blacksmithing and carpenter
ing, practical road construction and
farm accounts. $3.50 worth of valuable
prizes in the farm Of silver cups, gold,
and farm implements are offered for
proficiency in the various lines of work.
The circular is creditable produc-
tion. 1t indicates that the University
is doing all in its power to provide our
farmers with practical form of agri.
cultural education that would be untold
value to them
