the wonderful health-giving quail
ties of the atmosphere in that sec
ton, and believing that what had
been accomplished at Southern
Pines, could also be accomplished in
another spot in the same section,
the late Mr.. Tufts established Pine
hurst, six miles away, building mag
nifcent hotels and commodious cot
tages, and in one way and another
so advertised that New England
village that it has now become n
of the best paying investments in
the South. Pinebluf's success has
been aided by letting its light shine
before the men of the North and
East. Citizens of North Carolina
hardly realize the rapid growth of
these Moore County places, and now
Niagara and Lakeview have been laid
out and development work at both
places is being carried forward en-
ergetically.
A gifted writer once imprisoned
an active volume of truth in the
aphorism "CIimate is Fate" Having
suffered unspeakably from the effects
of the horrid and humid climate of
New England, and then expressed
the Joy of being so completely re-
stored to health and vigor in the
tonic atmosphere and almost peren-
NAL sunshine of the 1ong-1eaf pine
region, she was enabled to write the
best books of her lifetime. The
idea is worth unfolding.
Life without health, or the hope of
it, is hardly worth living. Health
and happiness go hand in hand, and
are attainable in a high degree ex-
cept under favorable natural condi-
tions. New Englanders will recog-
nize the prime Importance of climate
as a factor in life, as the rigorous
climate in which they live, brings it
| forcibly home to them.
A prominent New England physi-
can recently estimated that as It's
favorable climate became better
known, North Carolina would attract
100000 visitors from New England
alone.
If the citizens of other parts OF
North Carolina will only join togeth.
er and advertise the advantages OF
their respective localities, they, too
can reap the same benefits as those
accruing to the owners of the famous
Moore County resorts.

sician. For this reason many a woman
lets disease fasten upon her. She con-
ceals her condition and endures daily
martyrdom of pain because her mind
revolts at the thought of submission to
the treatment she knows the local prac-
titioner will insist upon.
Very many women have written CRATE
full letters to DIR. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo,
n. ", because they have found in his
methods an escape from the offensive
questions, the obnoxious examinations.
and the disagreeable local treatments
insisted on by so many home physicians
These things are, as rule, not necessary.
DIR. Pierce's experience and success in
treating hundreds OF thousands of women,
enables him at once to determine from
the written statements of women the
form of disease which it is necessary to
treat. Sick women are invited to con-
suit Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All
correspondence is sacredly confidential
and the same strict professional privacy
guards the written condolences of women
as is observed by DIR. Pierce and his staff
in personal consultations with women at

Corn Planting Experiments.

At the North Dakota experiment sta
ton experiments in thickness of plant
ing showed the largest yields of fodder
from corn planted in hills in rows twen-
ty-two inches apart. Drilled corn pro-
duced more fodder than corn planted
in hills in rows forty-four inches apart,
but the largest yield of ears was OBJ
tanned from planting in hills. Corn
sowed broadcast did not yield as well
as corn sowed in drills. Drilling corn
six inches apart i'm rows three and a
half feet apart gave the best average
total yield for two years. In this ex
pertinent the yield decreased almost
regularly with an increase of the dis
tance between the plants in the row
Planting six kernels in a hill gave O
larger yield of fodder and ears thar
planting a smaller number Of kernels
AS to depth of planting, two and foul
inches gave the best results.
