"A case of especial interest to women is
that of Mrs. A. Wellatt, wife of we'll
known photographer here. 1t is best
given in her own words.
II could not sleep, my feet were cold
and my limbs cramped," Mrs. Wenatt
states. Il had an awful hard pain
across my kidneys. l had to get up
three or four times in the night | was
very nervous and fearfully respondent.
Il had been troubled in this way for
FIVE years when I commenced to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and what they
caused to come from my kidneys will
hardly stand description.
by the time | had finished one box of
Dodd's Kidney Pills | was cured. Now
| can sleep well, my limbs do not cramp,
l do not get up in the night, and l feel
better than@I have in years. I owe my
health to Dodd's Kidney Pills" -
Women's ills are caused by Diseased
Kidneys; that's why Dodd's Kidney Pills
always cure them.

Of the world. They called for more
labor-they wanted Italians, Cinnamon
or, anything else that would bring
more cotton. I stated at the time that
what the neOple needed were mar
kets for their products. In other
words, II these people who appear to
be so much interested in the products
OF the farmers OF the country, will
provide us with markets for our prod
ucts at remunerative prices, then the
| farmers OF the country will supply
the products. To make my meaning
plain, at ten to twelve cents per
| pound the cotton crop of the country
will increase from year to year, and
will go ii necessary to fifteen million
bales, but it will not be increased
from year to year when the prices
range from five to six cents, as we
have recently seen it do.
Now, | want to say again. that the
real object and purpose in NY opinion
OF these people who want to flood the
south with cheap labor, is that they
may again be able to supply the mills
with cotton at from five to six cents
per pound.
One more reference to the article
in the Constitution and | am done.
do not charge that the article was
written at the instance Of the bears
of Wall street, but | do say that il
they had been in full control OF the
columns of the paper that they would
not have written an article which
would have suited their purposes bet
ter. 1t is to be hoped that the farm
ers will continue to use their common
sense and not Ne led astray by every
false prophet that may come. along.
Il any farmer has neglected his food
crops, it is not too late yet for him to
plant oats, wheat, rye and barley. II
We make next year twelve million
bales of cotton, we may look out for
siX-cent cotton instead of eight, as it
is now bringing in the market in the
interior.

blouse effects, then this crinoline Is
really Invaluable.
But in spite Of the square hardness
Of design all the loveliest soft clinglng

The liberty satins, silks and gauzes

very beautiful in texture and colors
and so are the Louisine gauzes, the

In going into the breeding of
hogs for pork-making, the breed is not
SO important as that the breeder gets

says New York Farmer. This is be-
cause he is more likely to take care
of a breed he likes than one that he

the soil can be readily worked, but it

American Yaa.

The department has continued its
work in the production of American
tea. The more advanced investigations
have been conducted, as heretofore, at
Summerville, S. c., in cooperation
with DIR. Charles T. Shepard. DR..
Shepard's tea-gardens ere now yield
ing from eight thousand to ten thou
sand pounds of tea annually. Owing to
climatic conditions, the crop this year
will be light. DR.. Shepard has been
devoting special attention to the inn
proyement of factory processes. Several
new inventions have. been made by
him in the matter Of tea-rollers, ap-
paratus for the manufacture of green
tea, and apparatus for process Of at
triton, giving to the tea the beautiful
blush cast, OF finish, which heret o.
fore has been secured in foreign coun-
tries by the application Of various
chemicals.
: DR.. Shepard's process puts this fin
ish on the teas by simple attrition, or
friction, and is marked advance over
the old processes. The work of estab-
fishing a plantation in Texas has been
continued. Tea-beds were started Oh
two types Of sofia rich sandy loan
and & black wayy soil. The plants on
the black waxy land have failed utter
". Fortunately this discovery was
made before any extensive paintings
had been undertaken. and it will lead
to the extension of the paintings on
the sandy loan soil. There are now on
hand at the Texas station, which is To-
Gated at Pierce about one hundred
thousand plants, which will be put in
to the field this winter, planting about
forty acres. Sufficient additional seed
will be put out to give another fifty
acres next year.-Farm and Fireside.
