BLOOD HUMOURS Skin HuInOurs, Scalp HumOurs,
 Hair HuInOurS, Whether Simple ScrOfuIous or
 Hereditary Speedily Cured by Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills. Complete External and Internal Treatment, One Dollar.

In the treatment of torturing, dis figuring, itching, scaly, crusted, pimply, blotchy and scrofulous humours of the skin, scalp and blood, with loss of hair, Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills have been wonderfully successful. Even the most obstinate of constitutional hu- mours, such as bad blood, scrofula, in- herited and contagious humours, with loss of hair, grandular swellings, ulcer ous patches in the throat and mouth, sore eyes, copper-coloured blotches, as well as boils, carbnncles, scurvy, sites, ulcers and sores arising from an im- pure or impoverished condition of the blood, yield to the Cuticura Treatment, when all other remedies fail.
 And greater still, if possible, is the wonderful record of cures of torturing, disiguring humours among infants and children. The suffering which Cuticura Remedies have alleviated among the young, and the comfort they have af- forded worn-out and worried parents, have led to their adoption in countless homes as priceless curatives for the skln and blood. Infantile and birth hr- mours, milk crust, sealed head, eczema, rashes and every form ofitching, scaly, pimply skin and scalp humours, with loss of hair, of infancy and childhood, are speedily, permanently and economi- calIy cured when all other remedies suitable for children, and even the best physicians, fail.

 You will observe in this bit of jim gle," the observant man went on. "that I have pressed into use certain words which may be conveniently used to mark the departures made by ragtime song writers and dialecticians in their efforts to introduce the speech of the negro. With a slight sacrifice of eu- phony, and srnoothness of flow, and by ell feyhf nk sar,f r0ntin principles, could have introduced the word 'gwine,' but I concluded that we could get along without it at this time. Besides I desire to look at that word more carefully at some later time, and feel that can with profit and pleasure devote more space to it than have at my disposal now. Gwine! Why, that word is a treasure, a sort of gold mine in eruption. Observe that I have used in the jingling nonsensical story of Ephram's domestic troubles the 'Is' to which I have already referred. As used here I's' takes the place of I has'-properly I, have Dun for done is introduced for the purpose of making the difference between done and don't the latter word appearing in the third line-'Idon' like y'u,' and so on. The sound of the 'o' in don't is not changed in the negro's pronuncia- ton. He pronounces it as if it were spelled d-o-a-n, or don with the 'o' sounded as in don't The t is elid- ed. You will observe that the final let ter of the word told is dropped by the negro. He pronounces it 'tId' as if | spelled t-o-l-e. You will also notice, and no doubt your experience and ob- servation will confirm the view indica- | ted, that the words 'berore,' more and | sore are cut short--befo' mo- SO, the ! e being dropped. But what I regard as of more importance is the word | 'yop' which I have introduced in two relationships. Here is where the song writer and the dialectician err griev- ously again. Yau, will observe that I 1 elide the O. spelling it 'y'u.' I do this merely for the purpose of emphasis. l want to emphasize the fact that the ne- gro does not give undue prominence to the sound of 'o' In his pronunciation of | the word. He does not say 'yo' or yer, except when, because of the peculiar | udIure oL bhe phiaSe, LheSe "VluS pe come phonetic essentials. For in- \ stance, the negro does not say Is yo' , or Is yer. What he says is Is y'u, I an improper substitute for are you Tn your he sounds the O. making it 'yo'r,' sounding the r very slightly, frequently introducing the harsh sound | of the h as if the word were spelled | v-o-a h "-NeW Orleans Tines-Derlo- crat.

out land. You may ask then why l
persisted in it2 It is as I stated
above, hard for us old farmers to get
away from the practices of III faith
ers. The Chinese to-day are centu-
ries behind other nations because
they try to do all things just as their
fathers did them. This shows us the
great need for education among the
farmers. Let us educate them away
from these grandfather ideas of
farming, let us teach them there is
a science in farming as in every 9th
er industry. Teach them the value
of deep blowing and shallow cultiva-
ton, to raise cattle, sheep, hogs, and
poultry, to drain the wet soggy
places, that the soil feeds the plant,
the plant the animal, and the animal
the soil. I, for one, shall be glad to
see the farmer become dissatisfied
with his present confederation
there will be some hope of his trying
to better his condition. A lettering
of his condition means the develop
ment of the agricultural resources of
North Carolina.

The farmer that raised this cotton
keeps an itemized account of gen

than extensive, and knows also, that
there is much more real satisfaction
in such farm management.

More About the American Merino- and
the Iredel1 Flock.
Orange Co., N. @.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
The picture and facts given in last
weeks Progressive Farmer went far
to show the great difference between
common sheep, or even Merinos of
fifty years ago, and our greatly i'm
proved Merinos of to-day. Nor is
this the end of improvement. With
out permission I will quote a few
words from an eminent breeder of
Ohio, in a letter to me January 9th,
where, in referring to a ram lamb, he
says: II also inclose you another
sample of wool. Now, without a
thought of brag or boast, I believe
him to be the best Merino lamb living
to-day. His form is perfect, his
bone is very heavy, his covering is
ideal. If I can keep him healthy
healthy and grow him to a finish he
will not fall much short of a fifty
pound fleece"
He thinks when full grown, this
thoroughbred American Merino lamb
will weigh 23O lbs, or more likely
$50 lbs.
Let us think for a moment of a
sheep weighing, when-fat, $50 lbs,
and so lbs, or one-ffth of the same,
being wool, which would leave 200
lbs, gross. With wool just removed
it will surely dress 100 lbs. or over.
Here we have a combination of wool
and mutton excellencies that is not
presented to us by any other sheep;
not only in the United States, but
not anywhere in the world.
Do not understand me to say we
should all run wild after this class
of sheep, but I do say that we should
not u wild after French, German
or English sheep when we have as
good or better ones in the United
States; and also I say that ewes of
this class of sheep, having in high
degree its e~xcellencies, could not be
surpassed even upon which to O
the best mutton breeds to raise
spring lamb for market.
So when we shall have this cold
reliable" healthy breed of sheep,
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-02-24

spread over the whole South as it has
been over the whole North from the
| Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, it will
be worth hundreds of millions of dol
lars to the Southern people. Let us
all hope for it and more, let us work
for it.
For the last six weeks the Gibson,
Aderholdt & Archer flock of Merino
ewes have been in winter quarters at
Mr.. Gibson's barn without any grass
on one and one-half pounds of cot
ton seed hulls per day, which was all
the "roughness" they had. They
YER fed one-half pound of corn and
cottonseed meal. This feed was
given them, one-half in the morning
and one-half in the evening of each
day with salt and water at will, they
being sheltered from rain and cold
wind. Under this feed and treat
ment it is admitted by all who OBJ,
served them that the ewes are very
healthy and more or less improved
in condition.
It was not a perfect ration and
would have been much better with
one-half pound of corn fodder or
good hay per day or two pounds of
fodder corn or pea vine silage would
have made it complete. AS it was it
cost about $40 per head for five
months of winter feeding, which
could be lowered to about 81 per
head by the judicious use during
early winter and early spring of pre-
served pasture and wood land range
together with turnips, rape, witch,
winter oats and rye. A large acreage
of these we're sown, but too late for
fall use. They will come in for
spring use: With the use of bran,
millfeed or oats and an Alnereased
amount Of cottonseed meal, one-half
and perhaps all of the corn ration
could be left out while the cost of
keeping would remain about the
same. Thus it may be seen that with
good management the feed for win
tering sheep in the South is already
made here and is within the reach of
every farmer and planter who is able
to own sheep.
But we r not to stop here, for
the sheep we're on the 18th of Jan
uary, moved to Mr.. Aderholdt's barn,
where they will change to a feed per
head of fve-eighths pound of cotton
seed and commonwealth of the ra-
ton by weight being cotton seed
also about one and one-half pounds
of shredded corn fodder. We always
feed twice a day. This ration may
prove cheaper than the preceding
n and if as successful can be va
ried IN with other feed, grazing or
silage and like the former one is
equally within reach of Southern
people.
Th~ree-fourths of the year here with
this flock is past and I a say that
they have done as we'll as they would
have done in West Virginia, with the
same housing, feed, attention and
carr that they have had here. Three
months more will complete the cycle

The Importance of Education as a Factor
in Agricultural Development.

Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:
Last night I was picked up, with
out time for preparation, as one of
a committee to appear before the
Agricultural Committee of the Leg
islature in behalf of the bill for an
agricultural building at the A. &
NJ. College. Col. John S. Cunning
ham was at the meeting, and when
j saw him start to leave the hall, but
return when my name was called,
take his seat with apparent gladness
and prepare to take notes, it did my
heart good and I felt at home with
my people. After I had made my
broken remarks in behalf of the far
mers of North Carolina, asking the
committee to aid the College in OBJ
hterating the ignorance of our far
mers by giving US an agricultural
building so that the agricultural
students might have an opportunity
to experiment and study in order to
get the necessary knowledge to help
in developing the wonderful re-
sources of our State-after I had
finished these remarks, the congrat-
ulations of those present were so
kind hat I feel bound to thus pub
licly thank them for their kind
words; also I wish to thank the Com
mittee for the favorable report on
the bill. They have shown, these
great men who compose the Commit
tee, that they are alive to the needs
of the State and have shown also
their determination to do what they
can to forward her interests. The
evil effects of ignorance among our
farmers are apparent on every hand;
ignorance itself is an evil and must
be stamped out. 1t is a heavy yoke
that is keeping u farmers in the
mire of poverty. Until we fully real
ize the evils that beset us, we can
w AOI111I1S W I1u Ou1SC4NCO VI IL4CI1'
We must fully realize the evils of ig-
norance before we can intelligently
fight them.
1t has often been said that a word
to the wise is sucffient. For two
years / have noted a forward march
along the lines of diversified farm
ing. 1 have said that this march
seemed to be only among the young
generation of farmers, comparative
ly speaking. Of course, there are
many of the older farmers who are
joining in the march-progressive-
ness can be found among all classes
and ages, but the majority of the
older farmers cling to the ideas and
practices of their fathers and grand
fathers. This march does not simply
mean a trained mind or trained
hands, it means trained head, heart,
and hands all combined. I have been
persuaded for years that shallow
blowing meant small crops and worn
