HOW MUCH FERTILIZER TO
APPLY.

The question, 'How much fertilizer
should be used per acre?" cannot be am
swered definitely. but only IN a general
way. 1t Is sometimes put IN this form:
may be applied per acreT' Neither can
the question in the amended form be
exactly and accurately answered. the
soil, its character, condition, preparations
ETC.. may be well known. or controllablo
factors. but we know not what the sea-
sons may be, says Hon. r.. ]. Reddingt

partment Of Agriculture, in the Virginias

We know hat some crops will bear
larger mounts Of fertilizers with reason.

very early summer, before the burning

are ideal crops for liberal fertilizing.

Cotton is therefore another ideal crop
Of fertilizers applied per acre will no
doubt yield . larger percentage profit
on its cost than will a larger mount.
To illustrator: An application Of 81 worth
OF fertilizer per acre may cause an IN.
pound Of the value Of Sc to s.. or a profit
Of 200 to 300 per cent. on its cost. I have
frequently had such results. But 1t does
not follow that twice as heavy an appli-
cation will produce twice as large re-
suits, or that three times as much would
cause three times as great an increase
in the yield. In other words, the rate
Of Increase in the yield of cotton will
not be in proportion to the increase in
dollars worth OF fertilizer per acre may
yield an increase in the crop of Sc; but
$6 worth would not therefore bring an
increase of S18.
But careful observation has shown that
an application of IS to Sc worth of fertil-
tzers (properly balanced) is a safe amount
TO apply per acre on cotton. Many farm
ers in Georgia have secured satisfactory
returns from an application Of SO much
as 500 pounds per acre.
I think 500 pounds a perfectly safe limit
on upland in fairly good condition, well
prepared n properly cultivated in cot
to 200 to 300 pounds per acre on old up
lands.

your friends and apparently accom-
plish a wonderful feat in a%crobatics.
First procure a large roomy pair OF
gloves that will fairly fit your bare
feet, such as an old pair of long
sleeved ones. Draw them on and but
ton firmly around the ankles. Now
get an old shirt, insert your legs into
the sleeves and then you are ready
to put on the trousers. Two small
holes should be made in the seat, for,
as you can understand by this time,
your head is going to be located there.
Get somebody to help you wriggle into
them, and when you've put your arms
through the trouser legs have your
valet" secure the trousers firmly
around your waist by means of a belt.
He will also have to help you on
with the stockings in which you en-
case your bare arms. If you have a
big, husky pair of arms you won't
need any cotton to swell it out and
make it look more like a leg, but If
your arms are at all thin it would be
a good plan to stuff in some. A pair
of your own shoes will be the next fea-
ture to top off" with. Most any pair
will fit your hands.

FARMER AND PLANTER
JUST THINK OF IT.
A kentuckian Who Claims Farmers
Sleep Too Much.

H.%f# H#NN
You hear some people say: Farm
Ing is an Independent life; farmers
can go when they please, and come
when they please" Well, / am here to
say a man that Iarms on that system
is either a millionaire or a poor farm
err. To my notion-and | mean as far
rs management is c~oncerned-a man
can come and go when he pleases;
but l say a man can not do that un-
less he ~neglects his work. There IS
lever a time when a farmer a moth
ing to do. / mean an up-to-date farm
era nan who Is trying to make farm
ing a success, who is trying to make
his home attractive, improve his land,
and who is always looking after ev-
erything in general.
Did you ever stop and think that by
losing a minute out of every day in
the year, at the end of the year it
amounts to over a little over six
hours? Think of it! Every w~ide-awake
farmer rises at 4 o'clock in the morn
ing; his fence are clean and
in good shape and his tools are In
good order. But the other fellows
will say We generally get up at 5
o'clock and think that is 0 o. enough.
Brothers, do you know how many
days you have lain in bed perfectly
well and watched them go by in what
/ would call perfect idleness? You
have lost one solid month. Think of
that! You only see II months in q
year, and suppose you have been
farming "a years. Do you know you
have lost two long years lying in bed
by losing an hour every morning?
Time is precious, and if a man has
any desire whatever to make some
thing of himself he must rise early
and study his plans for the day. A
task never grows smaller or lighter
by sitting down and lamenting that it
must be done, and there is an old
maxim that teaches US that a thing
once begun is half done. A contented
mind is the secret of happiness, and
the things we work to get we appre-
ciate more than those which come to
us without an effort. Many great writ
ers have told us that the chief bless
ing of life is %congenial work; and
we do not travel very far along life's
road before we learn for ourselves that
this is true.-H. A. Hummel, JeffersoE.

Almost REGRETTED II.

When Johnny Larson was IA years
old he had an attack of fever, but it
left him deaf. The local physicians
could afford him no relief, and he ap-
piled himself assiduously to learning
the deaf-and-dumb alphabet. The
other members of the family were, of
course, compelled to learn it, too, in
order to be able to converse with
him.
In the course of a few months,
however, Johnny's hearing suddenly
came back to him, assisted, no doubt,
by a slight operation performed by a
new aurist who had just come to
town.
"Oh, Johnny" exclaimed his mo-
Their, isn't it delightful to talk to us
and hear us againi"
YES" he answered, ruefully; "but
just think of it! Here we've all
learned to talk with the sign-language
and now we can't use it any more!"

To Disinfect Book,

To disinfect a book which has been
in the sick room wash the owe with
some good purifier and put the book
out in the open air for n day, where
the sun can beat down upon it with
ali force. One of the best disinfect-
ants is the black or crude carbolic
acid. For each drain, basin or bath
tub, pour down one tablespoonful,
then with boiling water cleanse out
the pipe. In all of eve gas
this will prove an excellent purifier
and give to any house or apartment a
healthy odor. This hint is especially
intended for those who live in town,
but country dwellers will find it USE

GENERAL BREAKDOWN
A Condition Which DR.. Wilnams' Pink
Pills, tie Great Blood Tonic, Have
Been Curing for Years.

There is no more perplexing trouble
for a physician to treat than debility
cases, especially in women, in which
there is no acute disease but in which
the patient every day sinks lower and
lower despite changes of medicine and
similar experiments.
That DR.. Williams Pink Pills win
restore health under these conditions
is no speculation but the fact has been
proved in hundreds of cases similar
to that of Mrs. Sarah Ramsey, of 1908
st. John St, Litchfeld, III. She says
g" never felt well after my first
child was born. / had a gnawing pain
in my stomach and could not hold any
food down. My head ached a great
deal and sometimes the pain went all
through my body. l had dizzy spells
SO that | could not stand and seemed
to be half blinded with pain. These
spells would often last for over an
hour. My blood seemed to be in a
very poor condition and my hands and
feet were liEe ice. / seemed to be
growing weaker and weaker and could
not get around to do my work in
the house. l was extremely nervous
and the least excitement would bring
on a dizzy spell.
For a number of years | was under
q Doctors care but seemed to get no
better. l had heard about DR.. Will
Hams Pink Pills and I began to take
them. I soon felt better and gained
In weight and strength. My nerves
are strong now and l am q well woman

CARPET, MATING AND RUGS.
Best Materials Always Found Cheaper
in the End.

The best quality OF body Brussels
will outwear two or more OF the
cheaper tapestry carpets.
A finely-woven smooth ingram car
pet may cost half a dollar more per
yard, but it will be cheaper than a
coarser texture in the end.
Nothing is more unsatisfactory thai
a loosely woven straw mating.
A fine mating will last several
years or more with constant wear. II
fine, very little dust will sift through,
and the strands do not pull apart as
they do in the cheaper grades.
Rugs fc- the center of the room can
be made of body Brussels with Dor
ders to match. They should be tackled
down at each corner.
japanese cotton rugs are very
pretty and durable. They are good
for bedrooms, bathrooms and sitting
