PRESIDENT OF PRESIDENTS.

Whiting, Ind, Feb. 25, 1901 (Spe.
ciaD.-The Presidents of the Ladies of
the Grand Army of the Republic have
an association composed exclusively of
the Presidents of the different State
Associations. This Presidents Asso-
citation chooses a President, and to
this very high and distinguished posi-
ton Mrs. Mary E. Poole, of this place,
has been elected. Mrs. Poole is thor
oughly deserving of this great honor.
Her devotion to the interests of the
Associationisvery marked, and her ex-
perience with the old soldiers of the
G. A. r. is wide. Mrs. Poole is never
slow to take advantage of anything
that may benefit the veterans, and
her zeal has resulted in much that is
good to these grand old men. She
writes of her experiences: Honor to

from so to 300 cubic feet, that, no
matter how much may be drawn out,
some water will remain that was
there when the process began. Cis-
tern water without filtering is bad,
and bad only, and especially so in
cities where the filthy and contamin-
ated dust of the streets find lodgment
on the roofs, where no amount of
cistern water should never be used
for drinking purposes without first
being boiled. On farms, however,
where there is little dust, and that
rarely contaminated, untiltered rain
water is not necessarily bad. Bored
wells are by far the safest sources of
supply for water for domestic use. IL
properly made, they are free from all
the sources of contamination to
which dug wells are liable. The wa
ter from bored wells is thoroughly
filtered and,if not too heavily charged
with mineral matter, is entirely sani-
tary. The bored well is easily pro-
tected from foreign matter and easily
emptied and cleaned, by using the
Waived bucket and common sand
pump, Bored wells are also cheaper
than others, and with the improved
machines, one of ordinary depth can
be put down in day or two days,
and any sort of formation can be pen
etrated with ease and certainty. In
many cases it would pay to fill up the
old dug well and bore one.-Texas

Making ridges or hills in which to
set sweet potato slips is useless. Five
years ago | made ridges for half of
my sweet potato crop, and the re-
mainder set out on perfectly level,
smooth surface. Those in ridges made
longer tubers, but many of them were
too stringy for use. The tubers of
those cultivated on the level surface
plain were shorter, considerab larger
in circumference, more uniform in
size, without strings among them, and
in every way more desirable for home
use or for the market.
The sweet-potato tuber never begins
to expand until the tap-root has
reached the hard ground, conse-
quently if the slip is set high up in
the ridge the tap-root has so much
farther to grow to reach the hard
ground that makes the crop later and
gives the tubers less time to expand
and mature; therefore, much of the
crop will be stringy and unmarketa-
BILE.
| break my sweet-potato ground
about five inches deep, pulverize it
well and mark the rows off about
three feet apart. do not wait for it
to rain and make season; neither
do | carry water and make a season.
| draw my slips in the evening, and
after the sun gets low enough that it
will not wilt them down, / set them
out. | let them take the dew of the
night, and early in the morning, be-
fore the sun is high, take hoe and
cover them all up with dirt, so the
scorching rays will have no effect on
them. / let them remain in this con.
dition for II week or ten days, when
the roots of the young plants will
have taken hold in the soil, then UNI
cover the tops. They never wilt, but
start to grow much quicker than if
set out and watered and then left TO
take the scorching rays of the sun
before they have taken root in the
soil.
On this plan sweet-potatoes are not
half the trouble to cultivate, from the
fact that you can pillow close up to
the plants, and the hoeing will be a
small matter. plow my sweet-pota-
toes twice with double-shovel or
cultivator, following each time with
the hoe, slightly hillsing them at the
last working

where the Thieves Were.

The wife of well-known and very pop
ular member of the house of representa-
tivcs was telling story on him the other
day, which was much appreciated.
The gentleman came in rather late the
other night after convivinl time. He was
tired and sleepy, and scarcely struck the
bed before he was in a profound slumber.
Toward morning the good wife became
alarmed by unusual noises, and immediate.

Horticulture is science worth

danger of a man outgrowing it.

As a result of the changeable eli
mate, c..tarrh has become one of the
most prevalent and universal diseases.
known to man. Nearly one-third of
the people of the United States. are
afflicted with catarrh in some of its
many phases and stages. Add to. this
the fact that catarrh rapidly tends to
become fixed or chronic, also the fur
ther fact that it is capable Of producing
a great many other diseases, and we
begin to realize the true nature of this
dread disease. .,
So formidable has catarrh become
that in every city or town OF any size
numerous doctors are to be found who
make the treatment Of catarrh a spe,,
cialty. OF course great deal of good
is accomplished in this way, but as
yet comparatively small number Of
the people can avail themselves of this
treatment because Of the great expense
necessarily attached to it.
Savannah courier. (Savannah, Tenn.) 1885-1979, 1901-03-29

To all such people DR.. Hartman's
remedy, Peruna, comes as a great boon.
Not only is it more successful in cur
ing catarrh than the treatment of the
catarrh specialists, but it is within the
reach of every person in this land.
Peruna can be bought at any drug store,
and is a remedy without equal for
catarrh in all forms, coughs, colds, bron-
chitis, consumption, and all climatic
diseases of winter.
Peruna is not guess, nor an expert
ment; it is an absolute, scientific GER
tainty. Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located. Peruna has no substitutes
no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna.
Let no one persuade you that some 9TH
err remedy will do nearly as well. There
is no other systemic remedy for catarrh
but Peruna.

FARMER AND PLANTER.
PITCHING THE CROP.
Now In the Time to Decide Intelli-
gently on the Work for the
Coming Season.

This is most important feature OF
successful farming. Perhaps more
men fail to make money farming on
account of carelcssness here than any
where else. A crop well planned is apt
to pay. One badly planned or mis-
planned can never pay. If you plant
the wrong crop you will almost GER
tainly fail. If you plant the right crop
you can hardly fail at all. The
southern farmer ought to have learn
ed this long ago, but he has notlearn-
ed it well.
He plants crops of running water
and scratch blowing and gathers crops
of bald hills and gullies. He plants
too much cotton and gathers empty
cribs and high provision accounts.
He should plant greater diversity,
More provisions and less cotton.
The fact that the two past crops
We're short and the price is now high
is not due TO wise planning on our
part. We planted enogh cotton to
make 12,00O,000 each year. But Provi-
dence came to our rescue and cut the
yields shot. The lesson is plain. viii
we learn it? win we profit by it? Or
will we go blindly on and risk the
consequences?
Just here we are facing crisis.
The present prosperity is widespread
and may be made permanent or it
may be brought to a sudden collapse.
If we plant too largely of cotton, If
Providence favors us with good sea
sons and we make very large crop,
the consequences will be far reaching
and fearful. The brakes would be put
on so suddenly that the whole train
would be in danger of being ditched
An enroumous yield and a return to
low prices would be calamity. Bet.

This is not idle speculation. 1t is

the year. This would help to raise the
price. But instead of this they have
decided to run II hand-to-mouth pol
