In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham
. builder and real estate operator, ami
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children. three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs. their
characteristics and power over disease
She maintained that just as nature so
beautifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
1t was her pleasure to search these out
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-

hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cureo

The Onion Crop.

Since there are many buyers OF
onions in this Piedmont country the
crop is increasing in Importance. There
have been some wonderful yields re-
ported. especially in Texas, In which
State an acre has been made TO pro-
duce $1,000 worth. This is a good cli-
mate for onions. With little pains
they can be kept well during the warm
summer. The usual way to raise them
is from small sets. The red and yell
low varieties are generally considered
best. The sets may be put out Octo-
Der l to December /. or in open wea-
Their in February. The way TO raise
sets with least trouble is to select
thin piece of land that will not pro-
duce grass and weeds. Poor lands
make the best sets Plant the seed in
rows about foot apart. putting a
little fertilizer or finely pulveriZed
manure in the hill. Cultivate them
several times. They will be ready TO
gather as soon as the tops die. Solid
sets. half inch in diameter, are best
size. The intensive system of culture
should be used for onions. That is
they should be planted thick and high
IL MANFRED. If the rows are a foot
apart and the sets twelve inches apart
5t35 may be raised on one-eighth OF
an acre. or a plat GOX91 feet. The
potato onion is the heaviest yielder
and. will make about three tunes as
many as the sets. The best plan tC
get sets is to plant the seed thick under
cover. and then transplant them. Thai
plan is not practiced in the South
The onion demands nearly equal guam
titles of nitrogen and phosphoric acid
and twice as much potash as nitrogen
Wood ashes worked into the soil vii
furnish the potash and lime necessary
for onions. If commercial fertilizer:
are used, the phosphoric acid and nitro
gen should be about equal and twice
| the quantity of potash. For one
eighth of an acre. about 200 TO 25'
pounds Of a fertilizer that would show
five per cent. each of phosphoric acit
and ammonia and eight per cent. O.
| potash would be about right.

A Need of the South.

Fertilizers are more often abused
than used TO advantage, though South
ern farmers pay out by far the larger
part of the S54 900. 900 annually spent
for this purpose in the United States
III spite of this tremendous drain on
their resources, there IS an abundance
of plant food in Southern soils Il prop
erly handled to insure maximum crops
for many years to come. mus the
greatest difficulty arises from the fact
that our people do not fully appreciate
the great fundamental truths on which
agricultural progress and crop growing
rest. To increase the yield of corn
ten bushels in the South would be 10
add millions to the revenue of South
ern farmers, and bring happiness and
contentment into many a Southern
home where it is now a difficult prop
lem to make ends meet. what a de-
sirable contamination this would be.
and could there be more inviting
field for the employment of trained
and skilful agricuiturist? The chief
| need at the present time to bring about
| some of the changes which are most
| desirable is the return to the farm OF
large number of boys who take courses
in agricultural colleges that they may
| become leaders, indeed and in truth, to
the people of their respective communi-
ties, blazing out, as it were, trail
that shall lead TO newer and better
things. and place within the reach OF
hundreds of farmers whose oppor-
tunities have been limited in the past
that inspiring information about their
profession which will change their
condition from that of stolid indiier-
ence to one Of optimism and unbound

Distance an Item !.

In an article that We have just read
the statement is made that it is cheap
er to pay 500 per acre for land near
to a railroad station, or other shipping
point, than to take land five miles
away at $40 an acre. That depends
upon what you intend to do with the
land If you expect to grow oranges
or bulky vegetables, such as tomatoes,
potatoes, ETC., then by all means locate
as near your shipping station as pos
sible. The added cost of hauling such
crops one extra mile would soon make
up for any saving in first cost.
But on the other hand, it you are
going into the stock business, it does
not make so much difference. Cattle
can be driven on their own feet for sew
eral miles at very little cost.
Even in the stock business, loca-
ton near to transportation is to be
preferred. Fat hogs, either dead or
alive, are not easily transported for a
long distance.-The Florida Agricul-
turist.

Lessons For Southern Farmers.

!. The South should never buy
Western corn. TO do so is an &C
acknowledgements of 4 dismal failure to
make use Of the abundant bestow-
ments of nature upon the Southern
States in the way of soils and eli
mates.
> Too much money is expended for
commercial fertilizers. This could be
greatly reduced by using homemade
manures and by blowing under green
crops, which would add humus to the
soil and benefit its physical condition.
3. The failure to produce meat
enough to supply the population should
be utterly condemned by every sensible
man. Some of the finest grazing lands
in America are i'll the Southern States,
and the capacity of the soil to produce
corn, cOwpeaS, peanuts and other for
age and green crops suitable for fat
teEing cattle and hogc, not to mention
the Indigenous grasses, renders the
present practices unwise and fatal to
continued prosperity among the plant
ers.
4. The cropping system IS most de-
moralizing, both to landowner and Ia
borer, destroying the habits of system
attic industry i'll tn latter. and most
efTectual preventive to the carrying
out of proper rotation of crops, fer
tiliZation of the land and a judicious
supervision of the landowner. The

quent cause of agricultural depression.
The country store becomes the creditor
of master and tenant, supplying food
and raiment and all other necessities
at a rate of interest or profit so great
as to consume all the profits which
should be derived from the crops. A
cash basis should be established and
the credit system destroyed. 1t would
bring about a golden era for the cot
ton States as it is now doing for the
corn-growing States.-Col. J. e. Kille-
