PROMISE TO "OBEY" DIDN'T
COUNT.
So. 5000.

IL a bride wishes to make secret
reservations to her promises at the
marriage altar Of course neither bride
groom nor clergyman car prevent her
doing so. At a luncheon n day last
week for a ~bride-elect the talk ran
on the word ""obey." The girls de-
cided that part of the formula was
obsolete. One young wife was at .Hs
luncheon, and it vas recalled that she
had promised to obey and had pro-
nounced the word bravely. The girls
teased her until at last she explained
thus: "Yoa see, in some churches you
have to say obey and I was married
in one of them. But when I came to
those words 1 just crossed my fingers
and SO the promise didn't count at
all. ! tell girls to do the same when
they so to the altar. 1t will avoid
any argument with the clergyman
or the other fellow."-New York

BACK TO PULPIT
What Food Did For q Clergyman.

A minister of Elizabethtown tells
how Grape-Nuts food brought him
back to his pulpit: Some 5 years
& I had al attack of what seemed
to be La Grippe, which left me in a
complete state of collapse and l suf-
fered for some time with w
prostration. My appetite failed, I
lost flesh until l was a mere skeleton.
life was a burden to me, I lost inter-
est in everything and almost III
everybody save my precious wife.
Then on the recommendation of
some friends I began the use of
Grape-NUts food. At that time I was
a miserable skeleton, without appe-
tite and hardly able to walk across
the room; had ugly dreams at night,
no disposition to entertain or be en-
tertained and began to shun society.
Il finally gave UP the regular min
istry, indeed 1 could not collect, my
thoughts on my subject, and became
almost a hermit. After I had been
using the Grape-Nuts food for a short
time l discovered that | was taking
on new life and my appetite began to
Improve; I began to sleep better and
my weight increased steadily; / had
lost some SO pounds, but under the
new food regime I have regained al
most my former weight end have
greatly improved in every way.

A true natural road to regain health,
or hold it, is by use of a dish of
Grape-Nuts and cream, morning and

Corn, Alfalfa and Live Stock.

On a recent visit south we noted
some important agricultural changes
taking place in Mississippi, Louisiana
and other southern States. The long
adherence to the one staple crop, cot
ton, is giving way to live stock and
corr growing. Corn does not yield
SO many bushels per acre south as in
our central and northern States, but
this is made up in the 1uxuriant
growth of alfalfa, SO rich in nitrogen
and essential in live stock growing
and the dairy industry, making a bal
anced ration with corn both for beef
COWS and dairy COWS. With four
good crops Of alfalfa, which seems to
flourish south, even with less corn
per acre, will about equal the live
stock productions of the central
States. Actual tests of this in Missis-
sippi and other southern States have
demonstrated this fact, as here and
there cattle-growing is made profit
able. On n we'll balanced ration OF
corn and alfalfa in Mississippi beef
cattle, grade Herefords and Short
horns, on actual feeding tests have
been made to gain in periods of
eighty and 120 DAYS feeding, $50 to
2.9S pounds per day on an average
and in the case Of some finely bred
Herefords in ninety DAYS feeding
three pounds gain per day was made
With these foods.

What an Acre of GROUND Does.

O&O0AGU OOCSs
A correspondent of the Progress.
sfVe Farmer gives an interesting ac-
count of what one man has done with
acre OF land. We certainly agree
with the writer that the man had
more to do with the remarkable
success recorded than did either
seed, fertilizer, or soil.
Visitors to the Charleston Expo-
sitien interested in agriculture were
attracted by a large picture on exhi-
bition in the North Caroline section.
This picture represented an old Con-
federate soldier with his wife and
two daughters in their garden gather
ing peas. The picture was made
from a photograph of Mr.. Lewis
Grady's unique Truck Garden in
Kinston, N. C.
A certain seed house has been
widely advertising this garden as a
specimen of what can be done when
their seed are used. A fertilizer
company h-s been announcing that
tho results attained by Mr.. Grady
were due to their fertilizers. The
Department of Agriculture of North
Carolina assures all visitors to the
State Museum that the remarkable
yield Of vegetables from Mr.. Grady's
garden is clearly due to the soil of
Eastern North Carolina. Some of
US who have watched the old mans
methods OF cultivation have gotten
hold Of the idea that the man has
more to do with it than either of the
above.
Mr.. Grady's garden occupies just
an acre within the corporate limits
OF Kinston. From the windows of
the train on the A. and n. G. Rail-
road his garden may be seen about
a hundred yards to the north of the
railway track, perhaps four yards
east of the depot. There is nothing
unusual about the soil. The fertiliz-
err used is a brand commonly used by
the truck growers in this section.
After preparing the land in early
spring, about the only tool used by
Mr.. Grady are an ordinary hoe and
a smaller hoe of his own manufac-
ture made from a buggy spring bent
at a right angle and bolted to a hick-
DRY hoe helve.
Mr.. Grady told me recently that he
had something in his garden to sell
every day in the year. He believes
in intensive cultivation. He rents
the acre of ground, paying $40 per
ear rent, and nearly every year
raises radishes enough in odd cor
ners to pay the rent. One year he
sold $500 worth of radishes. be-
sides having enough for his family
and sending quite a number of bunch
es to his friends. He has a great di-
versity of crops. This year he plant
ed his peas January I'd, and will con
tinue to plant something up to next
January. Throughout the season as
he removes n vegetable from the
garden he Immediately plants anoth-
err in it's place. He grows in his gar
den r~adishes, turnips, mustard, gar
den peas, beans, corn, okra, lima
his ground highly fortified and
works it thoroughly.
During the past three years his
income from this one acre has been
as follows: $147.7O,. $1S3.50,
$181.O5.
This strikes me as being fairly
good showing for an old crippled
Confederate soldier working for a
few hours in the morning on one
acre of land. He has produced
enough vegetable to supply a family
of five and then sell in three years
$412.25 worth.
