Rotation of Crops.

The danger is that ten cent cotton
will drive farmers away from their
purpose to improve their farms. There
is no possible chance of improving
lands planting hoed crops year after
year. The soil needs humus or vege-
table matter, and it can be supplied in
proper quantities only by sowing small
grain. In the Piedmont section OF the
Carolinas the three-year system of ro-
tation is the best one. Take the two
horse farm as an example. There
should be about sixty acres of arabic
land. Plant one-third of that in corn,
with peas between the hills, or sown
broadcast at laying-by time. Follow
with wheat or oats and then soy peas
after the small grain is harvested. The
third year it will be ready for cotton,
and then begin with corn again the
fourth year. By this system OF rota-
ton, and deepening the soil gradually
until 1t is ten inches deep, the land
will yield twice as much as under the
poverty-producting system OF planting
all cotton. II this Cotton Growers as
ISOLATION can bring our farmers round
to rotation of crops, deep preparation
and raising all necessary supplies on
the farm, the wealth of the farmers
will be largely increased.-Chas. Petty
in Progressive Farmer.

Alfalfa Soil.

Alfalfa is to be winner in our east
ern states partly for the reason that
we have been taught that it Is diff
cult to grow and must have a first
class chance. Otherwise, like many
new crops, it would have been tried
widely and carlessly, and then aban-
doned as hopeless. Thorough prepare
ton has given results, and this crop
has come to stay. But the rather rapid
increase in area is due to care in Sc
lecting land for seeding, and especially
to thorough fitting. If the idea is gotten
that alfalfa Is the right crop for thin
lands that lack fertility for other
crops, or for heavy, wet land, the fall
ures will bring the crop into disrepute.
I have seen fine alfalfa on heavy clay
land. but the fertility must be present
to start it, and there must be fair
drainage to hold it profitable length
of time.-Cor. National Stockman.

THE BABYs PROGRESS.
What It Should Weigh When Six
Months Old and Stages Of Its
Physical Activities.

Fifteen or sixteen pounds is average
weight for the six months baby. 1t
will not gain so much from this age
through the second half Of the first
year. From two to four ounces a week
Is the amount of flesh that it should
take on, and in very hot weather q
baby will probably gain less or not at
all. When names are called 1t Will
often recognize them now and look at
the person spoken to.
Creeping will take up most OF q
baby's activities during the seventh
and eighth months.
At nine months it will weigh about
is pounds II it is boy. and TIA
pounds il it is girl. BY this time the
little one begins to try to pull ITSELF up
to its feet.
Ten-months-old babies can usually
stand alone, and some even walk a lew
steps by themselves.
When a baby has completed Its firs'
wear 1t weighs from 20 to Il pounds
boys weighing more than girls. IL

Most Houses Lack Charm Becsuse
Overloaded with Unnecessary
and Unlovely Objects.

Our homes lack simplicity because
The furnishings have been chosen with
out regard for one another; the pic
lures on the walls. the ornaments on
shelves and tables, the carpets and
rugs upon the floors, the draperies at
windows and doors, contend as 1t were
for prominence and defeat the effect
of each other. The accessories In q
room should be subordinated SO as to
enhance and not interfere with the
principal effect. Until this fact is UNI
derstood, it is impossible to get the
results that are wished for and which
to many seem unobtainable.
A law of composition persistently
violated In our homes is the law OF
contrast; that plainness gives value to
ornament in the same way that dark
ness adds brilliancy to light is truism
that few realize. A beautiful picture

Housewives in Florida scrub their

actly as we use soap.

Tho immediate causes Of headaches
vary. but most of them come from poor
,r poisoned blood. In anHmia the blood
Is scanty or thin the nerves are impcr-
.ectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
tho nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women in particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head

DIVERSITY IN GEORGIA.
AVAIL. T.cre Are Some Good Farm
ers, There IL Too Much ioie
Land In some Sections.

One can not help being struck with
wide difference in the thrifty appear
ance of many sections in Georgia, often
not very far apart. On the twentieth
nj June. we went down to Thomaston,
and while we know there are many
good farmers in Epson county; yet LOT
several miles out from Thomaston, so
much land is lying out for want OF
hands. and so much is allowed to wash
into wide and deep red gullies, and the
dry weather together with the poorly
cultivated crops was simply depress-
ing to us. They need thousand
good. industrious white farmers to
move into this section, to take the
place of the negroes who have gone to
the "cities and public works" as they
call It: and to reclaim this naturally
fertile land. Men who will pillow deep,
terrace we'll, and SOW grain. 1t would
make a fine stock section. Bermuda
and other grasses would do their very
best. In the evening We spent two
hours in GAINESVILLE, and went out to
see the fine peach orchard OF Messrs.
Stafford and Howard. They have five
hundred acres in peaches and they are
well cultivated and certainly present a
fine appearance. The orchard, the fine
bottom in corn, the elegant country
home, the large barn, the Jersey COWS
and Berkshire hogs, all made such an
interesting scene, that my spirits rose

The pruning of young apple tree
should be largely in the nature OF
pinching back and training. The first
five or six years of its growth in the
orchard is essentially the formative
period of the tree and there will be but
little pruning required later If the work
is properly attended to. during this
period. "As the twig is bent, so the
tree Is inclined" In pruning young
tree one should select certain branches
which are to remain as sort of plat
form or skeleton work upon which the
future top is to be built. Three OF four
such branches are ample to reserve
when the tree is set out and they
should be as we'll distributed around
the stem as possible in order to prop
erly distribute the future load OF fruit.
Crotehes in the main stem should be
avoided by not permitting secondary
shoots to get the lead. All branches
should radiate from the center, out
ward. A branch which is growing In
ward is sure to give trouble later. All
branches which chafe or interfere by
rubbing should be cut out. Briefly, this
comprises our idea as to the essential
requirements in the pruning of young
apple tree. II is not necessary to cut
| the growing branches back annually
nor can all of the work be done at an,
one time. 1t is best done by care
