THINGS lie SAW"
Missouri after making q
Tour or the state.

People living in Missouri seem
! 80 lose sight of some of the real
| blessings we possess in cOmpari-
son with that Of other states, and
it is the visitor who discovers our
advantages after being thorough
ly "sighted." The following,
which was recently narrated by
c.. y. Lyons, of Higginsport,
IOhiO, before the Farmers Insti-
Mute held there, is worth read
ing, and was CLEANED by him
4 while on a tour of Missouri. In
speaking Of ''Things | Saw in
Missouri" he said:
A STATE nearly one half larger than
PR nd boast is, lit is entirely seif-sus-
tiinlng."
a state that produced the grand
average of forty bushels of corn per
acre in l4o2 over all its vast acreage,
and II wheat crop that would cieatc a
feeling of envy among the best wheat
growers in the world.
Orchard, Of apples, the trees bearing
Il full coat Of leaves, and the branches
bending To the earth under the weight
of such fruit that grows in no other
land under the sun.
Fifty varieties Of grapes that for size
of bunch and berry and in excellence
of quality were never beaten,
Bluegrass pastures that would rival
any yauntcd ''blucgrass region OF Ken
lucky" ever produced, and on land I'M
surpassed in fertility.
Breeding cattle Of the beef breeds
and horses, sheep and swine that the
world cannot excel.
Poultry AZ fine as the progressive
pOultrymcn of Ohio can show.
Less scrub stock in thousands OF
miles travel in Missouri than in az
many hundred of miles in Southern
Ohio.
A state with q grand school system
and with the largest permanent school
fund of any state in the Union.
Schools In country and In town that
are models of excellence, and a move
lnent toward nature study in the coun'
try schools, something to make chill
| dren better able to understand the
beautiful and useful in nature and bet
ter satisfied with rural life.
d Great mines of iron, lead, zinc, cop
per and coal, and great smelters pre-
pairing the ores and converting then
into valuable metals.
A display of stock, grain, vegetables
and fruit equal To that Of the average
county fair in a town Of $50 people ant
1000 as spectators.
Rural mail routes with scores OF mai
boxes at each cross road and people
who take papers and read them, II tele
phone system owned by the subscriber
with Il telephone In almost every coun
try home.
Banks and local papers OF high ex
cellence ia many small towns.

HERE AND THERE.

A good system of rotation on the
farm is the one which includes crop
of new IDEAS
The digcstibility of food elements
in feed must determine its value in
actual use. A chemist might be able
to find protein in sawdust, but the
cow certainly could not.
One cannot pick. up an agricul-
tural paper. but he reads news OF
farmers combining to sell the chief
products of the farm. That's right,
Meet. cooperative effort with coop
GRAFTON. ~e
Why such rush made to plant
large crop of cotton? But for provi,
dental interference, cotton would
now be five cents instead of ten.
Look out! You may get caught with
an empty corn crib.
Thousands of farmers, realizing
the necessity of organization, are
seeking the best order. Be sure the
society you support has something to
ioin besides promises. Promises are
good, but they pay no bills, secure no
laws.
Where are those hogs you are go
ing to kill next fall? You can not
afford to grow cotton at eight cents
and buy meat at fifteen cents. When
ever bacon is higher than cotton you
should be selling bacon and buying
cotton.
There is much more in good farm
ing than the raising of good crops.
Good farming means the maintenance
of fertility, the profitable marketing
of products, the economical buying OF
all material, the art of making a
dollar cover 100 cents worth of
ground. =
Manufacturers of farm ma chinery
have formed a trust and given their
agents orders not to sell machine
under the price set by the combine.
An agent forfeits his position as sales
man for any of the firms combined by
making a cut rate of any sort with
any machine. Farmers, how will you
meet this proposition?
Men have been known to work
cows as oxen, and the triple-purpose
COW is as reasonable to strive for as
the dual-purpose one. Beef-making
is tax on butter-making, and butter
making on beef-making, but neither
is a less tax on the other than work
ing eight hours day with yoke
would be on either.
According to an old nurseryman
there is no better preventive OF
blight in pear and ounce trees than
salt when applied around the roots.
It should be mixed with wood ashes
and the ground covered for a space of
two or three feet around the stem OF
the tree, except immediately up to the
trunk

A Cure for Rheumatism.

Alhambra, ILL.,, Mar 23rd:-Physicians are
much puzzled over the case of Mr. F. j. Os-
wald, of this place. Mr.. Oswald suffered
much with Rheumatism and was treated by
doctor after doctor with the result that he
got no better whatever. They seemed un-
ued to suffer till he heard of Dodd' s Kidney
Pills.
Mr. Oswald began treatment Ct this
remedy which very soon did for him what
the doctors had failed to do, and they cannot
understand it.
This is the same remedy that cured Hon.
Fred A. Busse, our State Treasurer, Of a
ago, and which has since had an unbrroken
record of success in curing all forms of
Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble.
There seems to be no case ofstbese pain
full diseases that Dodd's Kidney Pills will
not cure promptly and permanently.

Farmers Organizations.

One advantage of farmers organiza'
tions is that they can procure SEEDS
to much better advantage by order
ing direct from the growers in large
quantities. Our cotton growers want
cotton seed from far north OF the
section infested with boil weevils;
others want seed corn from Iowa and
other states where corn has been
compelled to contract the early ma
turing habit to avoid the early frost
which habit is often valuable in the
southwest for avoiding an early
drought Then there are special farm
seeds. as rice, alfalfa and others, and
garden seeds, which are wanted IN
quantities in the truck growing sec
tions. All these may be procured at
least cost and greater assurance OF
reliability when bought by compe'
tent agent in quantities.-Farm and

FARMERS. INSTITUTES.
The Old FOgies are Waking Up and
Falling Into Line With the
Advanced Movement.

The secretary of agriculture, in his
| report for 1901, asked for az appro-
priation of $4,000 for the purpose Of
promoting a general system of farm
| ers' institutes in this country. The
! amount realized as available Cor the
purpose indicated, was but $4,000, an
amount entirely inadequate for the
proposed work, and only sufficient for
gathering statistics Of the Institutes
and employing, for a few months, a
competent man to study the problems
of institute management at home and
abroad, so that he might be as helpful
as possible to the work. 1t is to be
| hoped the secretary will receive more
| liberal treatment from the present
congress. Farmers institutes are
now held in every state and territory
IA in number-and nearly complete
| returns have been received from 40 OF
! them These reports show that there
are about 1900 institutes held annual
ly III the territory reported, and that
the funds expended by these 40 states
and territories, not including ex-
penses incurred by the people of the
localities, amounted last year to $780,
600, and that about 100000 people at
tended the institutes. The number OF
students taking the agricultural
course in the A. and NJ. colleges in the
same states and territories was 9,625,
or an average of 240. There are about
1O, ,OOO,0 600 persons in this country ac-
tually engaged in agriculture, and
these statistics show that only about
one in IA attend the Institutes. VI
course the percentage of attendance
is larger in the thickly peopled states
than where farmers are farther apart,
and where roads have net been I'M
proved, as is often the case in the
newer states and territories. But at
tendance at institutes is increasing
every wear. Farmers are being arous-
ed and they are getting up and
moving forward, and the old fogies
are beginning to wonder what all this
means, and are yawning and falling in
line for the purpose of seeing what
they may see-or it may be for the
purpose of seeing and hearing what
others see and hear. Farmers in
stitutes are the most awakening thing
that has occurred among farmers up
to this date.-Texas Farm and Ranch.

A REsOURCEFUL BRIDE.

After 1t.

Her first venture at cooking dinner in her
own home had passed successfully and they
sat in silence at opposite ends OF the table
wondering at the novelty of it all and gaz-
ing at each other, relates the New York
Times.
Honestly, honestly-cross your heart
did you like it, Fred:' she asked finally.
Never enjoyed anything SO much in my
life," he said, and swallowed lump.
''Everything, everything-fr soup to
pudding!"
Every mouthful, from soup to pudding -
he said, bravely.
''Oh, Pm so relieved, then," she said, as a
huge sigh escaped her. You see, forgot
to order the sirup for the sauce for the pud-
ding, and | had to have something, so
took the cough sirup, and l was so afraid
you'd taste it.

Don't Neglect the Garden.

Now is the time to look to the gar
den. Peas, beans, turnips, mustard,
potatoes, cabbage, radishes, ETC., etc.,
can be planted now in the large part
of the south Onions are already
growing if planted early. Early corn
for roasting ears will soon be up and
growing. The garden should be well
manured and well broken. Be care
full not to injure the soil by stirring
when wet. A good garden is half the
living in the average family. Do not
neglect YOUR garden.-Dixie Farmer.

Ia This Business:

What sort of business is it for farm.
ers to haul their cotton-seed to the
mills and sell them at less than their
value and then buy the meal back at
q hundred per cent profit to the mills
and at the same time let his stable
and COW manure be exposed to the
weather until nearly all the nitrogen
is destroyed? And what is worse
than that, lose all the liquid manure
which is rich in nitrogen already dis
solved and waiting to be used by the
plants. Truly this is putting in at
the spigot and pouring out at the
bung. But this is just what most OF
them are doing. How many farmers
have any arrangement for saving
their liquid manures Dixie Farmer.

Peruna is such perfect specific for
each case that when patients have once
used it they can never be induced oquit
it until they are permanently cured. It
begins to relieve the disagreeable
symptoms at once. The backache
ceases, the trembling knees are
strengthened, the appetite restored.
the digestion made perfect, the dull
headache is stopped and the weaken
ing drains are gradually cured. These
results certainly follow a course of
treatment with Peruna.

as follows in regard to Peruna:

ache and severe pains in the side. L

The Supreme Court, of the United
States, which, by the way, enjoys the
unenviable distinction of invariably
rendering an adverse decision in cases
brought before it, wherein the Afro
American is in any wise interested,
sustained it's reputation in that respect
last Monday in the case of John
Broomfield VS.. the State of South Car
DINA. Broomfeld was convicted OF
murder in South Carolina. He alleged
he had been denied the equal protec'
ton of the law under the constitution,
because that Notwithstanding four
fifths of the people of the community
are Afro-Americans, all Afro-Ameri'
cans were excluded from the grand
jury by which he was indicted.
The constitution guarantees trial by
ones peers, and according to Webster
peer means: Zone of the same rank,
quality, endowments, character, or the
like; an equal; match; mate" Is
it necessary to ask was Broomield
