sEAsoKABLE FARM AND GARDEN NOTES

correspondence of h Progressive Farmer.
This has been a remarkable year
in many respects and a fine year for
the farmer to show his skill and suc-
CESS. My plan for years has been to
prepare we'll and divide the extremes
of the seasons between wet and dry
seasons ave plant 80 as to drown,
and in so doing have no reason for
complaint. My manuring is top
dressing every time, fall, winter and
summer so as to give the young
plant a thrifty start and this pre-
vents firing in a dry period. When
plants of any description + young
is the time to give them special care
and attention. Variety is my plan
for years have as many as twenty
odd different crops 81 as TO plant
and gather every month in the year.
Tomatoes did we'll for me this
year, except one bed or row, which
l planted had my doubts of success.
The land was too rich with COW ma
nure. Vines were numerous, but
fruit carce Sold my cabbage as
they stood early in the season to a
merchant near by at a good profit {;
they were planted in late fall. My
plants for this fall are up and many
have called or me for plants ; expect
TO have quite a number of them
Some of our leading men have tried
fall planting for two years.
In all my planting I change places ;
never plant the same crop on the
same place each year-if I do so it is
my loss. Success with all vegetables
il brought about By proper selection
of land, then plenty of we'll rotted
manure, and proper work at the
right time.

VALUABLE FARM BOOKS.

Principles of Agriculture. By Prof.
L. H. Bailey, of Cornell University.
Handsomely illustrated. 800 pages
Price, $1.25.
We really do not believe that the
average North Carolina farmer can
anywhere invest 1925 to better ad-
vantage than by sending that
amount to Us for a copy of Prof. l..
81. Bailey's principles of Agricul-
ture." This Is a work which tells
the ''whys and wherefores'-the
principles-of the business Of
farming. It is written by a man of
great ability who knows his subject
by long years of actual experience
and scientific study. The farmer
who secures a copy of this work
and studies it during his spare
moments this summer will not only
find much pleasure thereby, but will
find greater interest in his work, a
broader view of his profession and
she probability of making many
more dollars as a result of his study.
There T many books upon the
market, but not for many years, we
firmly believe, has one been issued
which the average reader of this
paper sc badly needs. The work is
handsomely bound, we'll illustrated,
clearly printed and contains 300
pages. Send US 81. 25 and get copy.
We guarantee satisfaction.
A SPECIAL PRICE.
We have now decided to send a
copy of this valuable work and a
years subscription to The Progress
i've Farmer to any address for only
81. This offer is made at a sacrifice
in the hope of placing the work in
the hands of more of the thousands
who need is.

Prompt Service Of Hospital Men.

The Sun is in receipt Of a copy Of the
Manila Times OF April 18th, 1901, from
which we clip the following:
Too much cannot be said OF the abili-
ties of Privates Samuel P. Raines, Will
liam j. Palecek and Carl Bremen, Hos
pital Corps, u. s. Army, stationed on
the u. s. A. 7. Indiana" On the night
OF April oath, while enroute from Scr
sogon to Manila, they saved the life Of
n OF the Filipino crew by their prompt
and efficient service, no surgeon being
aboard the transport.
The Carl Bremen mentioned above
is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. G. F. Bremen,
who used to reside here, and a nephew
OF Curt Bremen of the firm OF Baker &
BIenner.

THE west generally regrets very deep
ly the accident which overlook Hon.
Elwood Mead, in Washington last week,
whereby he lost his right arm. But, il
he survives the shock, and there is every
indication that he will, his life work in
the cause of Irrigation will go right on
as before. He is a man Of untiring
courage and OF great ability and we
hope he will be on the stage OF public
activity for many years to come. Mr..
Mead has often been called the "Father
of Irrigation in the west and he is
justly entitled to the name.

The Governors appointment OF FRO
lessor II. G. Beeler as State Geologist
seems to give general satisfaction. The
Professor is a young man who has pre-
pared himself with great care and much
study to follow his chosen profession.
He graduated from the Colorado School
OF Mines something over five years ago
and his ability secured for him a highly
responsible position as Chemist and
Mining Engineer with the well known
firm of Fitzpatrick Bros. & Collins. He
is spoken OF as an able expert in miner.
ology and geology. That he will do
good work tor the State there is every
reason to believe. Wyoming needs a
man who can speak with authority re-
garding her minerals.

SARATOGA needs water works. Make
up your mind that the time Is very short
Money invested in a fire engine at this
time would seem to us to be a waste Of
funds, for it can be but a short time un-
til hydrants and hose carts will lay the
fire engine in the shade and We Will
then have a second hand engine for sale.
Better wait until we are able to afford
waterworks. We predict that they will
be NECESSARY inside of six months.

PURITY.

White Bronze monuments and stat.

per cent. pure, and are given their
sparkling appearance by the sand
blast process, the sand being driven
against the surface with steam under
high pressure, cuts the surface but
does not adhear to it. One Of the ad.
vantages over stone is the perfect leg.
Utility of inscriptions, which are cast
in raised letters and never can crum.

The necessity for a more enduring
material for monuments than stone

ONE of the Presidential party, on the
recent Western trip, made the observa-
ton upon his return to Washington that
the irrigation sentiment in the West
all, and that he noticed that any allusion
to the subject caused greater applause
and enthusiasm than mention of the
nations triumphant arms or our ex-
panding commerce or prosperity, n or
all together.

And Then the Trouble will Begin.

has organized an anti kissing society.

THERE is a marked difference between
the appearance Of the Saratoga of one

D 4 PROPERTY {

Transfer OF Mines and Territory in
belmont County-Large sum Of
Money Involved In the Transac-
tion.
The Empire Coal and Mining Com
pany, of Wheeling, has secured a con-
tract of sale on two important mines
south of Bellaire, on the Ohio side,
embracing about 800 acres of coal land.
The largest mine is that of the Rose
& Morgan Coal Company, formerly
known a the Jacob Heatherington
mine. This mine is modern in every
way, and it is understood IL was sold
for about $780, 600, of which $40. 900
has been paid.
The other mine is south of the Rose
& Morgan, is known as the Pittsburg
and Ohio Coal Company, has about 300
acres Of territory and was sold for $751;
0oO.
Both of these mines are valuable and
have the facilities for shipping, both
by rail and river, and have been work
ing steadily for some time. The price
paid for these mines is very high in
the opiAion of many coal men.
Johnson Bros Coal Company, which
has just started to open a mine west
of Bellaire on the B. & O., have sold
their mine to Mr.. Black, of Mononga-
hela City. The price paid could not be
learned, but it is understood that Mr..
Black will open UP the mine and oper-
ate it. These three sales are the larg-
est ever made in Belmont county.
