Some of the Good That Cold Does,

Guthrie (Oklahoma) Capital.
 When disposed to berate old Boreas occasional and seasonable spells of ac- tivity. don't.
 Cold waves are productive of discom- fort 1t is true. but did you ever reflect on the agency that creates them? The cold wave in expert opinion, is a bene- flcent institution and contributes to the energy of the American temperament
 The chill for which cold waves are noted. is not derived from contact be. tween the gale and the northern snow fields, but from che intense cold that always exists in the upper atmosphere The cold wave is a vast swirl about 8 vortex center through which the freez. ing atmosphere, high above the earth is drawn down and then forced out to del uge the surface of the continent.
 One effect of a cold wave is the re. plenishing of the store of oxygen al the surface of the earth. The pure ail sucked down from above contains plen- ty of this invigorating agency. But foI these movements of cold air there would be no remedy from befouled at. mospheric conditions. Perhaps the av- craze sufferer from low temperature al this season will not be inclined to re- gard the cold waves with this degree of philosophy but they discharge a function in the economy of nature, new ertheless.

WINTER EATING RUINS STOMACH
'NOw Is the Time You Need MI-O-na,'
 Says E. G. Fowler.

Think for a moment of the extra strain you put upon the stomach in the Winter. The hearty food, the late sup pers, and the lack of exercise and out door life all weaken and strain the stomach, laying the foundation for poor health and suffering.
 Chronic stomach troubles, nervous irritability, and serious bowel and kid ney diseases have often dated from a week of extra good living" Nearly everyone is bothered with more or less headaches and backaches, furred tongue. poor appetite, dry hacking cough, heartburn, spots before the eyes, dizziness or vertigo, sleeplessness, lack of energy, loss of flesh or a general weak, tired feeling.
 Now is the time when Mi-o-na is needed to repair the ravages and wastes the hearty eating of Winter has caused in the stomach and digestive system. This is the only known agent that strengthens the stomch and diges- tive organs. so they can and will read fly digest whatever food is eaten. A Mi-o-na tabiet taken before each meal will remove all irritation, inf1amma- tion and congestion in the digestive organs, and so strengthen them that they will extract from the food all that goes to make good rich. firm muscle, and sound, healthy body.
 This remarkable remedy costs but 50 cents, and if its use doeSAnot restore your full vlgOr, vitality, ~and health E. G. Fowler, one of the best known druggists in this section. will refund your money. Unbounded faith like this deserves your confidence.

six-year old Russell pecan tree as grown at Ocean Springs, Miss. This tree was one-year-old bud about thir- " inches high when planted in Febru- ary. lS99. at the same time and in the same row where a Pabst pecan tree was planted. The land and treatment Is the same as described below. This tree bore for two years past. The Rus sell derives its name from the present owner of the original tree. MT Russell had nothing to do with its origin. He found the tree growing on the place when he bought 1t in 1890. The tree did not even originate on this place: the, former owner bought and planted the original tree as a small tree, and the year and date of this can not now be ascertained. As the tree grew larg- CT and bore more nuts their fine quality soon became known and 1t Is but natu- ral that they were offered under the name of the owner of the tree. MT. Russell was indeed fortunate in hav- Ing this pecan tree on the place when he bought 1t, as this one tree has brought MT. Russell more money dur ing the last ten years. yes. double the amount, he originally paid for the place. The Russell pecan is now well known and largely planted and deserv- edly so. grafted trees of this variety generally begin to bear the fourth year after planting. The crops of nuts from ten-year old trees have sold as high as $40. Under average condition the Russell pecan tree will make crop of nuts every year and the Russell is immensely prolific: the nuts are of fair large size. the shell is very thin real paper she'll" contains a well favored sweet kernel. There are other varie- ties equally valuable as those described in the foregoing.
 Plant a pecan orchard, it will be the best investment you can make, well started and taken care of in it's younger years 1t will last for generations.
 Young man, plant pecan trees ana push them to a vigorous growth; and proceeds of crops of nuts will feed ana clothe you and yours in mature years old man, don't delay planting pecan trees, and if you don't live to get the benefit of your trouble, the coming gen eration will bless you for having planted them.-Cor.

The AIdrich Sxstem.

 Will you pleace publish the Aldrich system for raising cotton and corn and oblige. R, E. S.. Cumbv rev
 Answer. The Aldrich system was fully explained in our issue of January l5' 1904. But as so many are just now becoming interested in it We will say that 1t is simply plan to grow both cotton and corn un the same land at the same time: To do this, MT. Aldrich advises that you plant two rows in corn and the next two rows in cotton. Have all the row four feet wide. He claims that you can make a full crop or each this way. Experience seems to make his claim good. The corn ma lures first and can be cut for shred ding, and the cotton will then have the use of all the ground just at the time when it needs room.
 DO not forget that you must lIrst prepare the soil by deep breaking. This plan certainly deserves a trial Southern CMtivator.

Sweet Potato Culture,

Much of the success attained In growing sweet potatoes in Eastern Vir- ginia arises not from the method of cul- .Wauoh. but from the natural adapta- oiiity or the soil and climate of that section to the crop. The sweet potato requires warm climate and a we'll drained sandy loam soil. and both these are met in Eastern Virginia. The character of the soil has much to ko with the quality and success of the crop. When grown in damp clay soil the table quality of the ttlbers is never good. The land should be rich in veg etaole matter, and be in fine tilth, They generally do best following hood crop. like corn or some vegetable crop, ana 1t is good practice to sow clover Tn this crop at the last working to cov- CT the ground during winter and be turned under in May. Crimson clover sown in September or October makes n good preparation of the soil The land | should be broken deeply and be finely worked If the land is low and in- clined to be wet 1t is best to plant on ridges. These should be three feet apart: If the land is dry, sound lanJ
 the plants may be set on the level. The | plants should be set ten inches anart m the rows. complete fertilizer l should be used. Where the land Is | poor this may be made up of 100 pounds
 or nitrate of soda. 300 pounds of acid
 phosphate, and 100 pounds of muriate | or potash per acre, or from 10 to l5
 tons of well-ro farm-yard manure
 may be used with 50 pounds of muriate
 or potash per acre. Plenty of potash in | inc soil is essential to success. The l not bed to raise the plants should be | made up about two months before the
 plants Will be needed to set out. The | end Of May or beginning of June is | early enough to set out the plants The
 not bed shoould be made of fresh horse
 stable manure, ara should be about | twelve inches thick The manure | should be tramped solid and left ia neat. In week or ten days the heat | Will have moderated sufficiently for the
 bed to be covered with three inches of
 soil and the tubers may then be laid
 in this soil and be covered with sandy | loam soil two or three inches deep. The bed should then be covered with
 sash or boards to keep out tho rain.
 Keep the bed just moist but not wet or the tubers will rot. Slips may usually be drawn in about four or five weeks after bedding the tubers. There Is little book published called Sweet Potato Culture" for profit. by Professor | Price, price soc, which will be found full of valuable information. We can | supply it.-SOuthern Planter.

Army Worm, Boll Worm, BolI weevil. Farm and Ranch:

tdrm and Eanch:
 As I have been receiving so many inquiries asking my opinion, whether or not the ravnges of the present army worm, will be benefit to us from a boil weevil standpoint. I think that an expression from me at this time might be of benefit to our brother farmers So If you will kindly allow me space I will try to reach them through your good paper, and if we can induce them to take advantage of the assistance the good Lord h@ given us to eradicate the boil weevil now while the worms have left them without ra- tion to subsist upon until the hiber- hating period, 1t is our golden oppor- tunity. But as the worm disappears the cotton will put on the tender growth and many of tie weevils will be supplied with a suficiency of food and we may thereby have them to con tend with next season. But if the farmers will finish gathering their cot ton as soon as possible and destroy the plant. 1t is my opinion they can start another crop almost without danger from the weevils and after having cleaned the land thoroughly, early deep blowing will also prevent the much dreaded boil worm from destroy ing the crop another season. I have long since proven to my satisfaction that deep blowing in the winter is by far the best known remedy for the boil worm and single dose of such pre- ventive is worth many of the SO. called patent cures. While I know the worm can he controlled with poisons, the best method is to destroy Lnem with blow when q cocoon. The cul- tural method which is familiar to all has proven such a blessing to the farmer this year. we should resolve to make the effort by all means to hght them while their rations are so snort, for it may be a good many years before you will nave such and ad- vantage of them again. And it is fm- portant to take united, nasty action against them if we wish to succeed TOT If we sit still and depend upon the Lord to do it all. we are sure to be left Yours for good work.
