HERE AND THERE.

But few farmers in the northern
states realize how much fertilizing the
candy upland soil in Florida requires
10 grow paying crops. Such soil, lack
ing humus, requires qlIck-acting COM
mercial fertilizers.
Dirt in milk makes more undesir-
able butter than all the wrong meth
DDS of working. No perfection OF
working out buttermilk and working
in salt can secure the proper flavor of
butter from dirty milk.
Aim to keep hogs for profit; that
is what everybody keeps them for.
Some are doing it, and some are not.
The only way to successfully raise
hogs or to succeed in any other occu-
patton. is to study and observe the
work.
One of the first requisites of tbs
m bdern farmer is TO maintain the fer
tility of his land. His land is like a
bank. The bank will not have any
thing in it unless it is put there. The
SOIL will give what it has received, and
can give no more.
If You intend TO keep sheep for
mutton. select such breeds as grow
rapidly and mature early. Keep Your
lambs growing, vigorous and strong,
and don't let them lose day up to the
time they go to market.
Comparative tests with potatoes

How is he bred is the first question
that almost everybody asks when 2
fine horse is presented; good breeding

Even an ordinary colt may develop in

care.
The old ehurn used TO turn cut
fine butter on the farm. To-day, with
the knowledge of handling, ripening
and churning that has become so gen
erel, the churn should be able to turn
out really gilt-edge butter. Such butter
would promptly put profit into dairy
tanning.

Intensive Farming.

Intensive farming is just the oppo-
site of the ordinary method. 1t is ac-
complished by the free use of stable
manure, supplemented by the use of
the right kind of commercial fertil-
izers, applied to soil the particles of
which are made as fine as possible
before planting, so that the fertilizing
materials will be readily assimilated
by the soil, and then by the plants.
By intensive farming the yield can be
so increased that enough will be re-
allied from each acre to make the
cost of the commercial fertilizers a
most satisfactory investment. 1t is
the kind of farming that yields the
most pleasure and the largest profits.

pounds of nitrogen, $50 pounds Of
phosphoric acid and 40 pornds of pot
ash, the nitrogen will cost half as
much as the $50 pounds Of phosphoric
acid and four times as much as the 40
pounds of potash. In fact about half
the cost of the fertilizer is in the nitro
gen, and in fertilizer with high
percentage of nitrogen, the difference
will be greater. Corn needs mainly nj
trogen and potash as food. Nitrogen
bought in a fertilizer mixture costs
TOO much to make it pay on the corn
crop. Now as nitrogen is most need
ed for the corn crop, we must get it
more eheaply than in a complete fer
tilizer to make 1t pay. Through the
aid of the legume crops and the liher-
al use of the mineral fertilizers on the
legumes we can get all the nitrogen
the crop needs and can not only do
this but can make profit out OF the
getting 1t. That is We can, by using
the phosphoric acid and potash lfber-
ally in increasing the growth of le-
gume crop, get large amount OF for
age for feeding stock and making the
manure the corn crop especially pre-
fers. and can at the same time leave
in the ground nitrogen enough for the
following corn crop. 1t is this feed
ing of the crop that feeds the stock
and the land at the same time that lies
at the very foundation of all improve
ment, not only in the corn crop, but in
the productiveness of our soil for all
crops. If every hoad crop of corn or
cotton has legume crop preceding it.,
and that legume crop is heavily fertil-
lied with phosphoric acid and potash,
it will do the rest Not only this, but
the legume crops increase the humas
in the soil by means of their roots and
the manure made from feeding the
tops, and the soil IS rendered more re-
tentive of moisture and better able to
stand a drought Thus by proper
breeding of the seed, proper prepara-
ton of the soil and a proper fertiliz-
ing of the plant we. can increase the
corn crop of the south threefold or

Mrs. Barr, an elderly Scotchwoman,

tho proper things; but when he ap-
preached the bedside and beheld the
pitiful ravages that illness had made
in Mrs. Bars once plump countenance,

Arriving At a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, Aug. I.--(SpeciaD-ln
this section OF Pennsylvania there is grow
ing belief that for such Kidney Diseases
as rheumatism and Lame Back there is
only one sure cure, and that is Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. This belief grows from such
cases as that OF Mrs. NJ. L. Dawson, OF tn is
place. She tells the story herself as fol-
lows

thirty years and find that Dodd's Kidney
pills have done me more good than any
medicine I have ever taken. I was also
bothered with Lame Back, and / can only
say that my back hasn't bothered me since
/ took Dodd's Kidney Pills
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only took
two boxes OF Dodd's Kidney Pills. the re-
suit would be considered wonderful II it
were not that others are reporting similar
results daily. Kushequa is fast arriving at
a verdict that ''Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
one sure cure for Raeuma tism.'
