Cure For Grip.

According to French physician an at
tack OF grip can be cured by cologne. The
prescription is also recommended for
born and so common. To be affective the
cologne must be used at the very be-
ginning of the disease. The very best
cologne IS poured on a handkerchief and
the fumes instantly inhaled through the
nose and mouth If the trouble is con-
centrated in the throat the relief il Is
said. IS almost immediate. At first the
limitations are made at intervals of but
two or three minutes After a burning
sensation has been excited a period OF
ten 10 fifteen minutes may elapse. Twelve
hours is a sair test with the remedy its
failure after that length OF treatment
being regarded as an indication that grip
was already too far under way.

The Snin Renn-

With our three good legumes al
ready stablished-velvet beans, beg
garweed and cowpeas-it might seem
to some superfuous to mention or sug-
gest the introduction of a fourth, says
the Florida Farmer and Fruit Grower
But the sofa in some respects sur
passes all others it has qualities which
render it abundantly worthy of cultiva-
ton for certain purposes. OF all the
other three, there is not one which, as
a producer of dried beans, to be shelled
and used as grain, is equal to the sofa
The velvet bean is recumbent and diff
ficult to gather and thresh; the cowpea
is measurably erect. but the pods have
to be gathered by hand, although the
time Will probably come when the en-
tire crop will be harvested with NOW
ing machine, as farmers do now in
more enterprising states north of us
But the sofa stands up stiff as a cotton
plant. from three to five feet high. and
it can be easily cut with mower and
the beans threshed out.
Before the civil war a kind of bush
pea or bean got started in this coun-
try, under the name of Japan pea 1t
had its run and died out from public
attention; but soon after the war Prof
STEELE. of the Mobile Register. found a
few stalks of it growing in Kentucky
under the name of stock pea. He gath
cred some of it, and bringing it to Mo-
bile, found it was identical with the
sofa bean. He planted it. and found
that it yielded enormously in the coast
country. and he wrote it up and started
it off under its proper name; and this
was the beginning of a new popularity
which has steadily increased ever
since.
The SOFA bean grows on a stalk
about the size and shape of a cotton
stalk. which bears large numbers of
small hairy and woody pods. in which
there are from two to three seeds or
peas. These are round, OF light
cream color, and about the size of an
Extra Early garden pea. They can be
cooked In the dried state like the navy
bean, but 70 get them tender they
must be soaked In water from twenty
four 10 thirty hours. Some people like
them moderately well, but they are too
rich TO suit most palates.

Something About Ducks.

Every year ducks grow more popular
as a table fowl. 1t was once the case
that they were mostly marketable be-
fore quite reaching maturity and as
they are thus sold without being kept
long and are raised with less loss than
chickens. The general views of ex-
perienced duck growers can be summed
up as follows, says the Indiana Far
mer:
OF all the different breeds the Pekin
is conceded to be the best for market
purposes, as they are hardy, grow rap
idly and can be turned into money
when eight to ten weeks of age.
Most people imagine that ducks, in
order to thrive. are compelled to have
running water at hand for them to
battle in. This is a mistake, as they
will thrive and grow faster when given
water in a w" shaped trough than
when allowed access to water that
they can swim in. Until they are
pretty we'll feathered out, going into
water over their backs cause cramps,
and often when allowed this privilege
numbers are killed, while many that
DO not die by the operation, never
grow as they should. se@.
pucklirgs are quite tender the first
few weeks of their lives. while after
they are three or four weeks old they
will stand more neglect and exposure
than almost any other domestic fowl
at that age. Care should be exercised
that they are driven in to a shelter
at nights in heavy dewS. They will
be less likely to die and will grow
faster which is the main point in
rearing. .a---
The Pekin is the only duck that has
all the good qualities. 1t has two
slight defects it's extreme timidity
and its heavy coarse voice 6emale)
and they have no scruples in using it
when congregated in large numbers.
But to offset these defects, the Pekin
duck will not only produce the first
eggs of the season. but by far the larg-
est number in a season, than any 9TH
er breed, when properly fed and taken
care of.
Another advantage of the Pekin over
the other breeds is their pure white
plumage (Which is largely mixed with
DOWN.
In dressing birds in large numbers
the feathers amount to quite an item,
selling from 80 to 40 cents per pound,
and if taken care of will generally pay
for the picking and packing of the
birds for market.

built. and run on business principles,

FLORIDA.

st. Augustine Record: When Burn
ham of New York began in a modest
way to make his famous clam bouillon,
no one dreamed that the demand for
his simple broth would become SO
great as to make him a fortune. A
fortune awaits the enterprise of some
one who will establish a manufacto.y
for the making of clam bouillon along
the Florida coast The rainNcw clam,
as it is sometimes called. is one of the
most delicious clans in the world.
There are millions of them along the
ocean beach of Florida. They are cas-
lily gathered and when the sand is
rinsed from them after gathering
they IAN be put into a pot, or boiler
sheiis and all and made to produce
the most delicious bouillon that ever
tempted the palate of an epicure.

the matter? Simply that it was plowed
when too wet. We all get in a hurry
sometimes and want to push things
along as fast as we can We might
better wait two or three days or week
than touch the soil when the water
stands on it. There is no more fatal
mistake than that. Another place
where some farmers make a mistake
is to patronize creameries where opera
tors are not fair in their dealings with
customers More than one such oper-
ator sends out butter in the roll or
print, short insYeiGhta The Food and
Dairy commissioner of one of our
Western states is authority for the
statement that he will hunt down such
men in his state, and that they should
be driven out of every state. They are
a disgrace to themselves and a dis
credit to the farmers whose milk they
make up. Just the moment we find a
man descending to such methods we
ought to withdraw our patronage. We
cannot afford to have our good name
thus trifed with. AS rule, the farm
ers of this country are above any such
deception.
1t is a mistake to put crops into the
ground and then not care for them.
That is like working hard to earn
money and then throwing it to the
winds. We sow because we want TO
reap; but if we are unwilling to give
the crops we have put into the ground
proper care, we may never see much
return for our labor. I have seen
weeds in corn fields as high as the
stalks of corn. That is most wonder
fully shiftless. Corn is very eXacting
crop. 1t demands better care than
that.
More than one farmer is worrying
more than he is working Work is good
for a farmer if he is reasonable about
it; but worrying is the hardest bust
ness one ever undertook, and pays the
least return. There must be a certain
amount of care on the part of every
farmer; that is demanded by the very
nature of things; but care and worry
are two different forces. 1 can show
you many a man who has undermined
his health and come down to old age
prematurely, all through worry 1t is a
mistake to work too hard, but it is a
greater mistake to worry.

that the Georgia, Florida & Alabama
railway, formerly the Georgia Pine,

on through to Columbus, and that the

DAYS. From Cuthbert the road will be
built on almost an air line to Column

Thus il appears that the SOFA bean
is richer in the flesh forming element
than everything except cotton seed
meal, and richest OF all in fat which
would render it a stronger feed, taken
altogether, than even cotton seed meal.
1t takes the place of both long and
short forage. and is adapted to all
kinds of stock. Horses, cattle, hogs
and sheep-not to speak of man-when
once they have become we'll acquainted
with the flavor of it, seem to prefer it
to most other feedstuffs 1t is so very
rich that it needs to be reduced for
table use. In Europe the peasants
are said to boil the sofa beans-it
takes long boiling-and potatoes sep
arately, then unite them in a mash,
two parts of potatoes to one of beans,
which is very relishable and nourish-
ing.
At the Massachusetts Hatch Station
it yielded at the rate of thirty-five
bushels of dry beans per acre. the
