HERE AND THERE.

Sell the poor cows and buy only
those you know to be good. Farmers
lose more money by buying fresh cows
than any other way.
do not tempt your hogs by placing
them in a ramshackly old pen. Make
the pen good and strong. After a
hog once gets out, it is hard to keep
him in.
Remember, to grow bone, muscle,
feathers and flesh, a varied diet Is
necessary, and the food must be of
the very best, whatever is used.
I'm many sections of the bluegrass
regions of the southern states it is
reported that the Japan clover is be-
coming a great pest among the farm
ers.
Potatoes should be dug when the
vines begin to turn yellow. 1t is best
to dig them early in the morning or
late in the evening. Do not let the
sun shine on them if you can help it.
Whenever water stands on any
portion of the farm at any seaso Of
the year it indicates that drainage is
necessary, and that much Of the land
contiguous to it is wet and cold.
"A small herd of cows, well-bred,
and well cared for, give better returns
per COW than a large, neglected herd;
besides this, the master could have
better control of a small herd than
a large one

To Keen Flies of Stock,

In the midst of the fly season own
ers of live stock will be interested in
the method successfully pursued by
DR.. Peters, veterinarian at the Nabras-
ka experiment station for combating
the pest. He took an ordinary oil bar
rel and put into it a wooden spigot,
using the barrel as a storage tank.
Two and a half gallons of zenoleum,
with five gallons Of cottonseed oil,
we're placed in the barrel, and enough
water added to fill it. As required
the mixture thus formed was drawn
from the barrel and sprayed upon cat
tie and horses, or applied with a
sponge or cloth as occasion demanded.
The control of the flies was not only
quite perfect, but 1t had one marked
advantage not possessed by most 9TH
er mixtures for the purpose in that the
solution was not greasy and sticky,
tut left the coat of the animal in fine
condition. The mixture has the fur
Their advantage of being a very eco
nomical one, a barrel of it being COM

to produce its seed through or BY its
bud or top; but when the bud Is
broken out, then the energies Of the
plant are turned in another direction
--that Is, the plat seeks o. tries to
produce its seed through the suckers.
Why Suckers Are Wasteful.
But when the suckers are all
broken out, then the plant. no longer
having a channel through which to
expend or waste its force to produce
seed, has It's energies thrown into the
leaf. and 1t begins to gather up and
store it's oils and germs away in the
leaf, and this is what gives us a good
heavy, waxy, oily and salable quality
Of tobacco. When the suckers are
allowed to- get large before they are
broken out, they draw heavily on
the vitality of the plants and on the
strongest of the soil. They push the
leaves so far away from the stalk that
the stalk can not feed or nourish and
mature them we'll. And when the Sec
ond crop of suckers come they some
times push many of the leaves entire
ly off the stalks and they drop down
on the ground and are lost unless we
take the time and pains to save them;
and they are not worth much when
they are saved. So you see, brother
farmer, that the sooner we break the
suckers out of our tobacco the bet
ter 1t will be for 1t, and the more
money it will put into our pockets.
Don't Let Tobacco Get Dead Ripe.
The next thing in order Is the cut
ting of tobacco. We should let our
tobacco get reasonably ripe before
we cut it, but not so perfectly dead
ripe that it will be lifeless and papery
after it is cured. For the tobacco
plant is somewhat like an apple. II
you let an apple get perfectly dead
ripe before you take it off the tree,
it keeps getting worse after it is taken
off, but if you take it off before it gets
so dead-ripe it will get some better
after it is taken off. And so it Is with
tobacco; il it is allowed to stand in
the field until it gets perfectly dead
ripe, it will be l~ifeless and papery
after IL is CuTcu, DuC II Gut UClOlC ~
gets so dead-ripe 1t will get some bet
ter after it is cured. In cutting, un-
less the tobacco is uniformly ripe, and
you cut it clean as you go, you should
not let more than n hand cut on
the same curing. OF course, different
hands may cut on different curings,
but unless the tobacco is cut clean
as you go, they should not cut on the
same curing, for they will not pick
plants Of uniform ripeness, and uni
formity Is what we want in the to-
bacco crop. When the tobacco is cut
it should not lie in the sun only just
long enough to wilt a little before it
is put in the barn. You should not
crowd it in the barn, al this will pre-
vent a free circulation of the air and
heat through it while it is being cured.
But as the weather gets cooler you
can crowd a little more in the barn
than when the weather is not.-W. A.
Petree, Stokes County, N. c., in Pro-
gressive Farmer.

THE CULTIVATION OF TOBACCO
Timely Suggestions On Topping, Suck
ering and Cutting the To-
bacco Plants.

The next thing l wish to speak of,
Is the stage of growth the tobacco
plant should reach before it is topped.
Generally, if the crop is good medium
growth. l like for the plants to run
up just a little before they are topped.
l think this keeps the leaves from
growing coarse, as it insures rela-
lively or comparatively small stems
and fibers. 1t also cauSes the leaves
to stand farther apart on the stalks,
and this in5ures a free circulation of
air and heat through the tobacco
while it is being cured. If l wish to
sacrifice pounds to quality, l like to
let coars or rank plants run up con
siderably before l top them. And 1
always prime such plants higher and
give them a few leaves than l
do medium plants. On the other
hand, l like to top weakly-looxing
plants just about as soon as 1 can
pinch the bud out and give the plant
as many leaves as l think it will ma
ture. And l always prime such plants
less and give them a less number of
leaves than I do medium plants.
Don't Allow Early Suckers to Grow.
The next thing in order is the suck
ering of the tobacco. Some farmers
say that If the first suckers that come
are allowed to grow large before they
are broken out, the tobacco does not
sucker SO much after that as it does
if the suckers are broken out when
they are small, but this is decidedly
wrong. There are just SO many lit
tie sucker germs to grow out into
suckers anyway, and the O the
suckers are broken out the better it
is for the tobacco. I have already
said that it is the nature of all plants
to reproduce themselves. They natur-
ally exert their forces to develop
their seed, and until the tobacco
plant is topped 1t exerts it's energies

Profits in Selling Right.

In a recent interview with a Flor
ida orange grower he said:
Growing oranges is like getting
money from home without writing for
it, to those who know how to do it,
and especially how to sell them" This
grower is a very extensive one, nearly,
il not quite, the largest in the state,
and he said that his profits were due
largely to the fact that he never al
lowed a box Of oranges to leave his
place unless he knew just what he
was to get for 1t; he never consigned
a box, nor shipped a carload on an
uncertainty. This grower had the ad-
vantage of controlling so many or
anges that he could compel buyers to
come to him and pay what the fruit
was worth.
Doubtless the ability to sell a pro-
duct in that way cuts a very large fig
ure in p~rofit-making, and while the
number of farmers who can sell that
way is very small, relatively, yet by
combination they can enjoy that adj
vantage. And it is believed that the
kind of combination suggested else

Of farmers the benefit Of such kind

All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops ems of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases. quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
ments or perhaps ir~regularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner-
~vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will

to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to arm a livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her

tired she can hardly drag about or

some arrangement of the female or

suffering; she writes:

means life and health to the tissues
and renewed vigor to the organs; also
as 1t strengthens the body and in
creases its physical powers Of resist.
ance 1t strengthens the will, teaching
patience, perseverance and fortitude;
and with the hope of future success Is

1t Is not the ~bedmaking, dishwash-

work that wears you out, for these
homely duties of the housekeeper are
most wholesome ones, and the regular
bodily exercise-varied as 1t is-that
such work inevitably carries with it
conducive to health and strength, not
sickness and death.
No, 1t is not your work that Is kill
ing you; you are no worse of physical
ly for having to do without a servant;
and, indeed, you not only need not be
worse off, but would be actually better
off If you but willed it so, for it is the
way you take your work, the fact OF
your allowing your work to fret and
worry you, and not the work itself
that wears upon your nerves and tenn
per, robs you of your self-control,
ruins in a short time your disposition,
and eventually your health itself, de-
clares Nine. Hebe, in the Chicago In
ter-Ocean. If only l could help all you
dear "homemakers" to see this and
realize the actual physical benefit that
may be derived from your daily work
if you but approach the same with a
new spirit-a spirit to do and do
heartily each homely duty as it comes
to hand-I should feel that l had in
deed accomplished some good in this
beautiful world Of ours.
Worry brings gray hairs and
wrinkles, ugly frowns, and soured tenn
pers; but work brings health and sun
shine, good digestion, and real enjoy
ment of the good things of this life.
Worry can take all the pleasure out
of daily duties and do more harm to
the tissues and organs than many
hours of gymnastic training Dr. spe-
cial massage can cure; but work gives
them wholesome exercise and makes
the body strong in all ways.
Work, mated with worry, however,
makes a sorry team indeed, and the
unhappy victim who rides behind such
a pair is to be pitied.

Porc.l RUGS.

In the large rugs to be used in the
center of a room on a hardwood floor
or on a porch where a room is fitted
out on it, the large Shakis are most
~serviceable and are particularly eff
fective, for they come in such pretty
browns, green's, tans, with just a sug-
gestion of color in the body made by
the Introduction of conventionalized
Indian arrows, a combination of deli
cate reds, pinks, greens, oranges, etc.
Across either end they are finished
with a border in tones to match the
colors in the arrows and in a white
fringe. These rugs are reversible
and the colors are all fast, and for
that reason they will be found par
ticularly satisfactory for use on a
porch or where they are constantly ex-
posed to the rain and sun.

FARMER AND PLANTER
THE FRUIT INDUSTRY.
A Department In Which There 10 =
Demand For Skilled Labor.

We rejoice in the good prices now
being received for our products, and
we equally rejoice in the good prices
received for labor. We are glad TO see
the laboring man receive good wages;
for it gives a beneficial stimulus to
every branch Of industry, as it gives
this mero class the means to
supply their many needs. Tho "laborer
Is ever worthy of his hire" IL he but
do good work. There Is no need in
our southland so pressing as our need
for skilled labor. Nor is there any field
where trained technical labor has a
more inviting opportunity than in the
fruit industry. Here is ample room
for the services of a thousand of our
worthy ambitious country boys, who,
heretofore. have gone into merchan-
dising, ~railroading and public works.
We can t~ruthfully say there is no
calling that offers better opportunities
for a useful and succ essful career than
q trained horticulturist AS an ex-
ample, we have but to quote a con-
versation we had with a very success
full fruit grower, Mr.. JEFF Hood, of
Commerce, Ga. Mr.. Hood said: Il
would gladly pay $3.50 per day to any
young man, who understood the bust
ness, to prune my orchard, and would
give equally as good wages for two
or more good packers during my ship
ping eason Last year l hired a man
from Alabama at 81 per day to prune
my trees, and paid ever higher wages
for two packers from Florida to pack
my peaches" Many others stand
ready to pay good prices for compe-
tently trained young men; sc If a
young man has no means he can read
lily get employment until he could
raise enough to become a fruit grower
himself. Ii he has land of his own,
we can not conceive of any business
where the healthfulness of the occu-
patton, the inherent interest and cul-
ture of the employment and the cer-
tainty of ample cash returns all blend
to make it a more ideal one. Holy
Writ itself has not pictured and the
inspired vision has not seen a more
fitting scene to grace this terrestrial
ball than that of the husbandman who
does properly care for the wine and
fig tree"
So, young man, if this m under
your eyes, and you would like such
a calling, go to some agricultural
college and prepare yourself for such
work. And we fathers who read these
lines do not hesitate to give your
sons that technical training which
will enable them to go forth to in
diligently plant, cultivate, trim, ma
nure, spray and otherwise handle the
fruit that should adorn the garden
that tn. allwise and benf1cent Creator
intrusted to Adam and his children
for keeping. Do not fall into the error
of thinking this is a cotton country"
alone. The very fact that it is a cot
: ton country and that our staple thrives
with little skill Or care renders the
growing of it comparatively easy, and
hence the returns from it less remun-
erative than those of our fruit and veg
etable crops. The motto of the world
is, the more skill required the high
er the pay."-Southern C~ultivator.
