Never throw lime in duck pen; it
kills. Never select the largest duck
eggs for Matching; they are usually infer

Mr.. d. E. Douglas, near Oldhams,

truckers, raised last year from less than

To Virginia Fruit Growers.
AS the time from now on until the
buds begin to push out is very short,
and the dormant season is the very
best time TO spray orchards for the
San Jose scale, we wish to urge you
to act at once. With very few ex-
ceptions, trees infested with San Jose
scale will die unless they are treated.
It will spread to the orchards near
and destroy them also The law re-
qnires all infested orchards to be
treated. If you treat the orchards
carefully, you will be able to check
the pest and keep the trees in good
condition.
Treat the entire orchard in which,
infested trees are located, for there
may be plenty of scale on trees to
breed and injure them badly before
the summer is over and not enough
to show up to any extent-at this time
The lime sulpher wash is recon-,
mendea for this purpose. (See abovel

increase Foed Products"
Norfolk virginian- Pilot.) -.
The farmers of the country seem
to be catching the spirit of organiza-
tion and combination which are the
order of the day, The, cotton plan
/ ters of the South are organized and
the grain growers of the West are
organizing. Much good may be
con 6dently expected from such or
gsnizatioD, If it is properly di-
rected. The Raleigh News and Obser-
yer very seusioIy observes that this
organization "wlll' lose much of its
value unless it results in diversifi
| cation of-crops aud large increase
of food products" and continuing
says:
A prominent aud well informed
North Carolinian said few DAYS
ago that he had never known a far
mer who raised cotton and bought
his bread and meat who accumulated
a good bank account. "Hog and
homiDy" is the text upon which
practical sermons should be preached,
An old doggerel illustrating the
folly of not raising hotne supplies
that was in vogue some years age
when it was customary in cotton
sections for the farmers to contrac,
with merchants to furnish in the
fall pound of cotton for a pound
of meat before the crop was made,
ran somewhat like this:-
GA pound of cotton for q pound for
meat So.
Is really very dear eating;
The man who makes alt cotton and
no meat
| Deserves a genteel beating"
The advice of the News and OBJ
server is timely and may be followed
with profit by other than cotton
growers. No farmer is likely to be
successful who does not grow on his
own farm sufficient food products
for the keep of himself, his family
and his stock. ! He may be the
gairer now and then by failure to
| do SO, but year in and year out hs
| will be the loser. Experience has
iabundantly demonstrated this fact
and it is strange that farmers hav.
SO long neglected to profit by tha
experience.

Nc kce Rankin, the manager of

pany would close it's season near BOs-
ton in three weeks. thus ending a con-
tinuouS tour of the world, extending
over period of about so weeks. Dur
ing all of this time Miss O'Neil and her
supporting players have been playing.
save for the two weeks consumed in
making the voyage from Australia to
San Francisco Miss O'Neil enjoys the
distinction of having performed in
many foreign countries. she having
made two tours of the world under Mr..
Rankins management, and much OF
the success she mas attained is due
largely to Mr.. Rankin, who first dis
covered her and who provided the Gp-
portunty for the development of the
natural actress. The strain attendant
upon n long tour of nne-night stands
has seriously affected Miss O'Neil and
she is obliged to rest during the day

to play in the evening. The company
will appear in Rockland this evening.

Simple Way to Cure Catarrh by n.y.
omei Without Stomach Dosing.

IT is the height of folly to dose the
stomach with internal mcricineS to
cure nasal catarrh. 1t cannot be cured
except the catarrhal germs that are
present in the nose. throat and lungs
have first been killed.
The soothing air of Hyomei heals tho
smarting and raw membrane of the
air passages in the nose. throat ana
lungs. kills off the catarrhal germs
and rids the system of the last traces
of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit consists
of a hard rubber inhaler which can be
carried i'm the purse or vest pocket,
medicine dropper. and bottle of Hy-
omei. and costs only one dollar, while
extra bottles can be obtained for 80
cents.
Rowditch & Webster and Percy w.
Means positively guarantee cure
when Hyomei is used in accordance
with the simple directions on the pack
age. or they will refund the money.
This certainly shows their faith and
belief in the virtues of Hyomei.
