A NERVOUS WRECK
Mrs. Green Gained &c Pounds and
Recovered Her Health by Taking
Or, Williams Pink Pills.

General debility is a term that covers
. multitude of cases where there is nc
acute disease, yet the patient continues
TO lose strength and the doctors medi-
zines have no apparent effect. This is
the decline that leads to death if means
are not found to check it. In a great
majority Of cases DR.. Williams Pink
Pills will check it and restore health and
strength because they actually make new
blood and so send renewed vitality to
every organ and tissue of the body.
Mrs. S. A. Green, whose address is
Box 30, r. +. ID. No. 4, Franklin, Ga,
says: For three and a half years I
suffered with weakness and nervous
ness, complicated with stomach trouble.
At times l was confined to my bed for
periods ranging from three weeks to two
months and was under the physicians
care most Of the time for three years. i
do not know the cause of my trouble but
l was Frustrated with weakness and, al
though l took a great deal of medicine,
nothing seemed to give me strength. At
times my stomach hurt me something
fearful and my head often troubled ME.
/ was sleepless and what sleep l did get
did not refresh me.
when l began taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, l weighed but l04 pounds.

would not cure NE and l had patience.
Soon the pills began to give me strength

SETTING PoTTED STRAWBERRY
Rl ANTS

More or less has been said IN this depart
ment concerning the setting of potted
strawberry plants in the early fall. largely
because IL gives one an opportunity to test
the newer varieties quickly which cannot
be done In any other way. AS explained
IN former articles, these plants are OBJ
tanned by the sinking Of a pot filled with
soil or moss :nto the ground directly under
the crown or joint of a strong runner and
holding it in place with a small stone un-
til it becomes properly rooted at the end Of
which period it is separated from the par
-nt plant, taken from the pot with the ball
of earth intact, wrapped in paper and
shipped. 1t IS planted In good soil by the
receiver with the ball of earth still about
the TOVts and commences growth at once

HELP PUT THIS AUTOMOBILE
LAW THROUGH.

1t is a lamentable fact that many auto
mobile owners seem to lose all the decency
they ever possessed when they go over
rural roads. They seem to feel that no one
but themselves have any road rights and
some of them, take fiendish delight In see
ing the antics Of the frightened horse. The
automobiles have rights and so nave the
drivers of horses and a law like the fol
lowing which is a portion Of the Virginia
automobile law, enacted in all states
would soon set the matter right and both
owners of automobiles and OF horses would
respect the rights of the other. The own
er, operator conductor, driver or occupant
of any such machine shall keep a careful
look ahead for the approach Of horseback
riders or vehicles drawn by horses or 9TH
er animals, and upon the approach of
such riders or vehicles shall slow up, keep
his machine under thorough and careful
control, give ample roadway to such rider
or vehicle, and If ~signaled by such rider
or occupant of such vehicle, or be other
wise requested thereto, shall Immediately
bring his vehicle to a full stop and allow
ample room and time to allow such rider
or vehicle to pass. And If requested so 20
do by the said rider or occupan of said
vehicle, the owner, operator, conductor,
driver or occupant, if a male, of any ach
machine, shall lead the horse or horses
past his machine. Should any horse ridden
or driven in an opposite direction to that
which the machine is travelling, give evil
dence of fright, then the duty Of the driv-
er shall be the same as If he had be- N sig
nailed to by the rider of the horse or the
occupant of the vehicle" 1t is worth the
time and trouble of any rural community
TO rye the law makers Of his state to
see that a similar law is enacted in such
state

TIGHTENING THE FALL WORK.

There is no class of workers who do
more labor by the force of mere brute
strength and, in many cases, because he
will not think out labor saving devices
than the farmer. The man in the city who
has to handle boxes uses a large hook to
save his hands and mis- arm muscles; one
of these hooks would be very useful on the
farm. Another device is to have a broad
strap fitted with a snap of good size at
either end having the strap just long
enough to fit over the back and shoulders
so hat when the snaps are placed in the
handles of a basket the basket will rest at
just the proper place against the body and
thus a great strain taken off of the arm
muscles and the small Of the back and
placed on the stronger shoulder and upper
back muscles. 1t may cost a dollar to rig
up this helpful article but it will save fifty
dollars worth of aches. Then do not be
stingy about having plenty of small vehicle
such as wheelbarrows and low two and
four-wheel carts so that you can pull or
push some of the loads you now carry in
your arms. A crowbar is a good invest
ment and its cost will be saved many times
in lessening the labor of moving heavy ar
ticles. Then there are a dozen other things
which you ought to think up for yourself
with these hints to start you.

PROTECTING HOGS FROM LICE.

One of the best Ways of getting the bet
ter of the idea of the hogs that they must
wallow in filth is to provide a clean wal
low for them and at the same time make
it TO do duty as a lice killer. We do not be.
lieve the waIlow is essential to the hap
piness of the hog but if we must have
one have one like the following. Make a
shallow cement pit not more thar fifteen
inches deep at the center and sloping TO
the ground level at the edges. After pre-
pairing the ground cover the bottom with

STORING POTATOES AFTER DIG
CLING.

Potatoes should be left on the ground
only long enough to dry out then they
should be carefully placed in baskets and
more carefully placed in the bins so as
not to bruise them and covered from the
light. Coverings should also be placed
over the windows or other openings into
the place where the potatoes are stored
so that nothing will incite them to growth.
One will be surprised to know how easy
it is to keep potatoes much longer by keep
ing them from the light. After digging see
that every tuber that is bruised is placed
where it will be used or sold as quickly
as possible for never, under any circum-
stances, should the perfect tuber be al
lowed to associate with one that is bruis-
ed for the latter will soon start to rot and
then the rot will begin in the perfect tuber.
Better a barrel of perfect tubers than two
barrels of half rotted ones.

WELL FITTING COLLARS.

More than one farm horse, and hundreds
of road horses. have been ruined for life
through carelessness in fitting the collars
to them. There is more trouble with the
..ght breast collars than with the others
for where the heavy collar is used with
names the main trouble comes from the
ill-ftting collar rubbing the neck and ere
ating a sore. With the breast collar the
.rouble IS the danger of the horse being
choked when the pressure comes on the
windpipe IN hauling a load. Harness max
Crs ought to be more careful in making
and fitting sue collars than they are, but
the owners of horses can readily overcome
the trouble f they will see that the breast
collar is sufficiently loose so that you can
readily pass your hand behind II, or be-
tween it and the breast of the horse. when
the traces are taut and apply the same
test to the collar which goes with names.
Taking this ~precaut.on there IS not likely
to be trouble of any kind no matter how
great the horse strains in pulling.

SYSTEMATIC FARM WORK.

There Is not a farmer in all the land
but who can spend u portion of their win
ter to good advantage in planning for the
work of the next season. Preliminary to
this work make a map of your farm. 1t
may be crude if you are not a good
1raughtsman, but never mind, it VIII an
swer the purpose. Fake the whole farm,
locate the buildings on the map and the
several fields. In the latter case indicate
the area of the field, the slope of the
ground and the variety Of SOL together
with its condition. Make the map large
enough so that these details can be put on
t. Then calculate what crop ought to be
planted on this field. Suppose last year,
:he season just ending, you had 1t in corn
and in preparing for the corn crop you
used a certain quantity of a certain kind
Of fertilizer; specify this on the map to-
gether with the yield produced when you
measure up the crop. Handle each field in
.he same way on the map and the result
will be that in looking over this map dur
ing the winter you can readily plan all or
nearly all of the operations for the next
season and do it much more intelligently
than If you wait until the actual work is
IN you in the spring.
LET THE COW FEED THE FARM.
Most of us are familiar with the mistake
which has been made for years by cotton
BIOWGTS II the tACtSSlNt use OF mineral
fertilizers; these growers are rapidly maxi
ing amends and their farms are being
made better every year. 1t is sad to say,
however, that while we have been shaking
our heads over the mistakes made by our
brothers who grow cotton we have been
do.ng the same thing ourselves in another
way. We may nave the COWS which the
cotton grow was slow to obtain, but we
have failed TO feed these COWS so that they
would feed the soil and, on the other hand,
we did not supply the mineral fertilizer
which the cotton grower was literally using
90, after all, we were net treating our soil
IS well as he. BY this Is meant that we
have raised corn largely for our stock
and either bought the protein food or let
them go without L when il could have
been readily grown on the farm. Then,
too, we have made the worse mistake of
not feeding them what they ought to
save been fed either in quantity or quality
and, in some cases, we have not fed the
number of COWS our farms would prop
erly support. The result is that we nave
20 buy much more mineral fertilizer than
we ought or our farms are not properly
fertil,Zed. We believe greatly in the plan
Of feeding the cows what IS necessary to
get the proper results and in this way,
through the rich manure, letting the cows
feed the farm. There is absolutely no ques-
ION about the profit resulting from this
plan

PUSHING SHEEP FOR MARKET.

1t is important that the sheep and the
lambs which are TO go 20 the fall market
be well cared for; it may not be necessary
to materially increase their food provided
they nave been and are being grained
while on pasture, but they should have
comfortable quarters while st-ll on the
range, some shed under which they may
go f a storm Games up and one which
shall be sufficiently warm SO that they Will
not suffer should the storm be a cold one.
Everything and anything which takes
from their comfort will not only prevent
them from making gains, but will take
from them faster than you can put Ii on,
See that the grain given them is of the
best qualify and do not depend upon the
virtue of the pasture too long As the pas
ture gets poorer feed better at the barn.
