This can be done only by using fer

good and leaving the land to rest occa-
slonally assists in holding The essen

cations Of fertilizers is necessary.
Every farmer should study first how
to increase his annual yield Of farm
products, and second how to properly
market what ho produces. The Sc
crrt of the first lies in the purchasing
and using OF fertilizers, and the second
in cooperating with other farmers ir
securing profitable market. a pro,

by reading reliable agricultural Jour

dition for the following year. Repeat.

TIE BOYS ON THE FARM.
;or. OF The Progressive Farmer.

Cor. OF The Progressive Farmer
The tendencies OF modern inventions
arc towards increasing the city and de
creasing the country population. Too
many young men arc induced to oin
the army Of consumers and leave the
ranks of producers. The results are
noticeable wherever we have hard
times and money is close. Then there
are thousands out Of employment and
families are compelled TO live in power
ty. This is an indication that there is
something radically wrong with the
methods Of agriculurists. The BOYS
are neglected. They see more signs Of
prosperity among their city cousins and
are easily lcd into the metropolitan
channels. The gaudy displays Of APP
parent wealth make them believe that
life is more real in the city than in the
country.>
The evils of the cities are alnurlnu
pitfalls into which many thousands of
honest country boys fall before they
realize their mistake. Some of the
responsibilities for this condition OF
affairs must rest on the shoulders OF
parents. The instructors in the dis.
trict schools and even in some OF
the colleges arc largely to blame
for directly ard indirectly snccring al
men who come from the farm. BOYS
arc taught from many sources that
manual laborcd is degrading and no,
characteristic of modern Amemcanism
They see their parents struggling on
old farms upon which former families
have failed and believe there is nothing
in farming. The frequent dilapidatc(
condition Of rented farms and the
small yields in comparison with the
days of their fathers cause boys to lost
faith in agriculture.
In every avenue Of life the boys
notice the results Of concerted or
ganization against the farmer. The,
see the numerous trusts, great cor
pOrations and combinations Of capita
arraycd against the farmer with no ap
parent better conditions in sight TO
the future. The land produces smal
crops of wheat, corn and potatoes an,
combination of buyers or board O
trade corners the market and lowers
the prices of wheat the farmer has T.
sell, and raises the charges when he i
the buyer. These unfavorablc con
ditions must change before the bow
will be content to remain on the farm,
They must be recognized by the pres
ent farmers in the matter of wages an
the future of land holdings.
One of the great evils of farming
noted by the boys, is the general los

USES or A WEEKLY REST DAY.

USES or A WEEKLY REST Day
The observance of one day in seven
by complete change Of thought and
the suspension of modes of activity
required for six days would be philo-
sorhical even though it had no basis
in religion. In the first French revo-
luton the attempt was made to have a
holiday once in five days, and
once in ten. The intervals were
too frequent under the first plan
and did not rccur often enough under
the second. Hence those who hated
the system which enforced the Sab
bath were fam to return to 1t.

Great CONSERVATION was felt
by the friends of NJ. A. Hogarty
of Lexington, KY, when they
saw he was turning yellow.
His skin slowly changed color,
also his eyes, and he suffered
terribly. His malady was yell
low Jaundice. He was treated
by the best doctors, but with
out benefit. Then he was ad-
vised to try Electric Bitters,
the wonderful Stomach and
Liver remedy, and he writes:

DEADLY BOILER EXPLOSION.

Blaneh Alexander and Tilden Fails
Killed in Cleveland County.
A special to the Charlotte
Observer tells of an appalling
accident near Cleveland Mills,
IN Cleveland county, last Sat-
urday.
A steam thresher belong
ing to Falls & Alexander ex-
ploded at William Warlick's,
killing two men and injuring
several others.
The dead are Blanch Alex
ander, one of the proprietors,
and Tilden Falls, son of
Squire Zimri Falls, the other
owner. John and Alfred
Falls, elder brothers of the
lamented Tilden, we're seri-
ously but not dangerously
wounded. Shotwell Peeler
was also injured, and a color
ed man was seriously, perhaps
fatally, wounded.
Tilden Falls body was torn
to pieces, the head being en-
tirely destroyed. He leaves
a wife, having married last
New year. Blanch Alexander
leaves a wife and five children.
Both the Falls and Alexander
families are among the most
prominent and enterprising
people of that section, and
Peeler is also of excellent
family.
The accident was what is
called by men who deal with
steam a blowout" It was
evidently caused by pumping
water into a hot boiler.
Tilden Falls was a nephew
of Mrs. r. A. Cobb, of Nor.
Canton, Esquire Zimri Falls
being a brother of Mrs. Cobb.
