The most practical way to prepare a
site for planting fruit or ornamental trees
on heavy clay. hard, dry or even wet
soggy soils is by the use of a small
charge of dynamite for each tree. l have
practiced this method for a number of
years with grand success and at an ex-
pense of not to exceed 10 cents for each
tree / begin by shoveling away the earth
where the tree is to be planted from a
space three to FIVE feet in diameter and
from ten to twenty inches deep, or until
l reach the hardpan or dry, hard earth
In center of this excavation l make a
hole about two feet deep, with a crowbar
or post auger. At the bottom of this l
place a small portion of a stick of dyna-
mite. to which is attached a cap and
fuse I lamp clay in firmly above the
dynamite and set off the charge.
The explosion will loosen and shatter
the most compact clay bed or dry, hard
substance that underies any soil from
five to ten feet in diameter the depth Of
course depending upon the amount of dy-
Mantle used. In ordinary cases two to
four ounces is sufficient to make a splen-
did tree bed. 1t does not throw the soil
completely out but loosens and melloWs
it so the roots and the moisture will PEN
citrate to greater depth. 1t prevents
injury from drought OF UTOWHluS, VI wal
er soaking The trees root deeply and are
little affected by winter drought or win
ter freezing Deep roots make safe an
Choir against winds and storms. BY loos-
ening and distributing minerals and plant
foods that were otherwise unattainable
the production and maturing of much
greater wood and fruit growth is secured
than is possible by the ordinary method
of shallow planting. or rather of planting
in shallow holes. On hard lands and in
climates subject to cold, dry winters, this
practice is invaluable and the benefits are
nestimable and should be enjoyed by
every one 1 am of the opinion that great
err benefits can be secured by shooting

BURDENED WITH RAILROADS.

Statesboro Star. 1t seems that States
boro and Bulloch county are liable to
be burdened with railroads. SO plain
is the prospect on this line that the citi-
zens of the town actually called a pub
lie meeting which was held at the court
house on Friday afternoon for the pur.
pose of protesting against the building
of a railroad into this town. The meet
ing passed strong resolutions protesting
against Col. Lockhart's railroad from
here to Register. A committee, COM
posed of r. Simmons and r. Lee Moore,
was dispatched to Col. Lockhart's office
in Augusta. to tell him the people did
not want his road. The committee hunt
ed him up and left no doubts on his
mind that his enterprise was not need
ed here, but he expressed an intention
TO build anyway He believes his little
short line from here to Register is just
the thing" everybody else to the con-
trary, Notwithstanding.

the occasion for his own political down
fall. The thought of this did much to

1t is this condition that DR.. Hartman
calls systemic catarrh. The whole sys-
tenn is saturated with catarrh. Thisdis-
covery marked an important advance in
the history Of medical science. The
medical profession had long been CROP
ing to discover the meaning of the stub
born and distressing after-effects of Ia
grippe. All remedies seemed alike in
adequate.
AS soon as DR.. Hartman announced
that is was his belief that the after
effects Of la grippe was simply sys-
temic catarrh, "a great advance was made
in the treatment OF these cases. 1t now
only remained to find reliable remedy
for systemic catarrh.
Here a new difficulty srose. Catarrh
had been regarded by many physicians
as local disease and treated solely by
local remedies. Such physicians knew
of no systemic remedy for catarrh.
Other physicians regarded catarrh as
blood disease and had been in the habit
of treating it with blood medicines,
which could be OF no possible use in
systemic catarrh.
For time Peruna enjoyed the dis
tinction Of being the only systemic ca
tarrh remedy known. It was not even
claimed by anyone that there was an
other remedy for this exasperating con-
dition.
Since then, however, a great many
remedies have been proposed for sys-
temic catarrh, and great deal of val
liable time wasted in experimenting
with other remedies. But it still re.
mains true that Peruna is the only spe-
cific remedy for the after-effects OF Ia
grippe. The demand for this remedy,
in consequence of the present epidemic
of la grippe, is enormous.
Mr.. j. P. Lowery, proprietor City Hotel
Albany, Texas, says: Being advised to
try Peruna for la grippe and asthma, /
did so with good results. I had been
feeling very unwell for long time, and
had asthma quite bad till came West,
when / got better of the asthma, butwas
not well. tried a great many remedies
for it, but nothing was able to cure me.
-" / took three bottles of Peruna and
am happy to say that it is the best med
icine l ever used. / am satisfied that
Peruna is good medicine, and as such
have commended it to several of my
friends with good results. It is seldom
I give testimonial, but think this due
you. l hope others may be benefited
through you and your medicines"
Every one should read DR.. Hartman's
latest lecture on la grippe. This lecture
will be sent free by The Peruna Medicine
Company, Columbus, Ohio.
