Work For Leisure Time.

During the leisure days in the win
tier is the period when the farmer can
greatly improve his lands by burning
lime rock to be applied to his fields.
Where the soils are OF heavy clay
formation and are adhesive, an appll-
cation of 20 bushels of unslacked lime
per acre will be very beneficial in the
way Of %loosening them. Even the
putty-like soils, such as are found in
the prairie parts Of Alabama, will be
greatly improved by the use Of the
above quantity of lime. The lands
should be turned as deep as possible.
and the lime applied on top to dis
integrate during the winter. we
have known 20 bushels of lime to in
crease the yield of oats ten bushels
per acre.
After one crop on lined lands, peas.
sofa beans, velvet beans or alslke'
clover should be sown. These crops
will add to the vegetable substance
in the soil, and the lime will hasten the
nutrification-changing the color OF the
soil and capacitating it for holding
water. The lime will in two years
sink into the subsoil, and there con-
tinue to sweeten the undecomposed
matter, and prepare for the rootlets OF
coming crops. Don't lay aside this
advice, and forget the value OF TINS
suggestion.-Southern Agriculturist.

BOYS, GET BUSY.
father Tn the Fallen Leaves ana
store Them Away FOR NinteE
Use In the Hen

-
The wind is blowing sharply to-day,
and the leaves after the recent sharp
frosts are falling and scurrying along
before the moderate gale. 1t will blow
longer and stronger soon, and the
leaves will fall thicker and faster, n
will bunch and eddy about in the low
places and the little hollows-ail SO
dry and brown and crisp-verily, ma
lures own collection for the hens to
scratch and pry about IN. But TIE
rain and the snow will soon come,
and the leaves will become wet and
limp. and soon rot if left out in the
weather, sinking into the earth to aid
in enriching the soil which, in such
localities, is already rich enough.
1t is up to the boys now to take
action. They should go with bag and
basket and gather the leaves while
they are dry and clean, and store them
where they will keep dry all winter.
And then, as the cold weather comes
on, let them be utilized in the len
house. This can be done to advan-
tage by cleaning out a well-drained n
rain-proof spot and boarding it up q
foot or two, scatter leaves il there
six inches deep so that grain when
scattered in there will sink out OF
sight. Then let the hens to it, and
renew the grain daily, and the leaves
weekly, and the hens will dream
dreams of fence corners and wooded
hoilows where the leaves have gath
cred, and they will sing and lay, and
be a source of profit as we'll as pleasure

Cotton and Sugar Mule.

The price Of young mules in Tennes-
see is way up. The cotton growers
Of the south cam not farm without the
mule. Facts about prices prove that
mules are selling about ten dollars
each above horses. The ability OF the
mule to endure great heat has brought
it into most general use in the south
ern states; also, the farmers OF this
country find the mule stands the WORK
in the hot season in wheat fields mucn
better than the horse.
The mule natures more quickly
than the horse, and can be placed on
the market from n to two years
sooner. than the average horse. This
means a larger profit to the producer
and quicker returns for the invest
ment.-Southern Agriculturist.

Abopt Texas Fever.

Prof. W. H. Dalrymple, of the ag-
ricultural experiment station OF Louis
lana State university, has recently
written Bulletin No. "a, a general sum-
mary of our knowledge of Texas fever
among cattle. He clearly establishes
the fact that the Boophilus annulates
is the only tick that can transmit the
fever from one animal to another. he
contends that incubation or vacclna-
ton in bringing on a mild type OF FEVER
immunizes animals from the FEVER IN
it's violent form. He further says:

blood for inocculating purposes" Any

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-

1t is a recent thing that the true
value of Japan clover has become
known. therefore while the plants were
spreading all over the south, growing
by the roadside and in the old, aban-
doned fields, no one thought them
worthy Of saving the seed.
If properly kept and judiciously
applied to land, the manure produced
by a flock of fowls is said to be worth
nearly one-half the value of the food
consumed, and yet little account Is
taken Of the droppings when an esti-
mate is made Of the profits from tho
flock.
We believe that there are few
farmers who really realize that an Or
chard properly thinned will yield as
many bushels of fruit as n left UNI
thinned. Where fruit is thinned, that
left to mature is several times larger
than if all the fruit is allowed to re-
main on the tree. Then there is the
difference in price also.

Peruna is known from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Letters of congratulation
and commentator t%estifying to the
merits of Peruna as a catarrh remedy
are pouring in from every State in the
Union. DIR. Hartman is receiving hun
dreds of such letters daily. All classes
write these letters, from the highest to
the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Peruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
ANY man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigh universal. Peruna

There is a sentiment among the farm
ers of Mississippi that they are doing
just as much or perhaps more, than the
farmers of other States toward forcing
prices up. They have determined to
occupy a sort of middle ground-hold-
ing out as long as they can for higher
prices, but setting no price to be held
for. They are signing no pledges to
hold for 10 cents, but they are holding
just the same. and believe that their
position is mo- only stronger than that
of other States, where the pledges are
being given, but decidedly better.
