Has Good Cotton Crop.

Gardeners and truck growers IN this
state are learning to keep their land
occupied. If it is not growing useful
crops it will be covered with weeds
which are no advantage, but real
loss.
The Palatka News tells Of farmer
who put his potato ground into cotton
and the result is that he has crop
of cotton which will be very profit
able The News says:
Mr.. F. J. H. Won Engleken, whose
beautiful home and farm faces the
river little north and opposite Palat-
ka, has been making some expert
ments in cotton this year, and ex-
poets to demonstrate it's profitable
ness. Of course Mr.. Won Engleken
raises the long staple, or Sea Island
cotton, and he has about eight acres
ready to pick. Cotton growers who
have seen his crop have estimated that
he will have about 800 pounds of seed
cotton to the acre.
Years ago cotton growing was an
industry in this section but gradually
it gave way to oranges, and then to
truck raising. Mr.. Won Engleken
himself raised potatoes-1ots of them
and made a lot of money on that
crop. But he isn't satisfied He
wanted a crop that would grow in
summer on the same land and bring
him more money in the fall. That's
why he hit upon cotton.
If he has 300 pounds to the acre,
that would mean gross price of 500
per acre. Cotton in seed now sells at
about II cents. But there is the cost
of fertilizer and labor and in the latter
he will probably find his trouble The
News will be pleased to hear of, and
record, Mr.. Won Eng1eken's success.

SPRAYING to Kill Weeds.

Spraying fields with 10 per cent.
solution of iron sulphate is proving to
be a successful method of killing
weeds where ever it is tried. The
tests so far show no damage to the
grain. Oats, barley, wheat and spelz
have been tested in this country. In
Europe success is reported in spray
ing rye and Indian corn, and expert
ments made in Scotland show that in
no case was damage done to young
clover and grass, while the weeds
were entirely destroyed. Canada
thistles, wild mustard and rag weed
are the principal weeds destroyed by
this treatment.
To spray one acre of grain requires
about 100 pounds of iron sulphate dis
solved in flfty-four gallons of water.
1t is not poisonous, so will not in
Jure stock. One man can do the work
OF spraying. The sulphate> of iron
costs S. cents per acre. The cost of
labor is estimated at 20 cents, making
a total OF IS cents per acre.-Farm

Commercial Fertilizer Profitable.

Commercial Fertilizer Profitable.
Probably most of you know that it
pays to use good article of CONNER
c1al fert1l1zer on most crops~ But as
there may be a few who are still in
the dark about it, we quote a few
lines from the letter of regular week.
ly contributor to Coleman's Rural
World:
Near Our county seat may be seen
one of the finest demonstrations of
the value of commercial fertilizers I
ever saw. An old man had rented out
ten acres for corn to a very progress
s1ve young fellow, and half promised
to furnish $50 pounds per acre of 2-8-2
goods, but backed out when it came to
buying the stuff and paying for it. The
tenant knew the land was thin, and
got the owner to agree that he might
use fertlllzer-at the tenants expense
on alternate Io-row strips, thus
dividing the corn before it was plant
ed. | saw it today, July 4, and the
corn on the tenants strips is more
than two feet high, green and thrifty,
while the other is not more than a
foot high, with many red and yellow
blades. [ once knew Of this being
done in cotton by North Carolina
negro in Texas, who also agreed with
the owner of the land to give the own
ers unfertilized strips one more cul-
tivation than his own strips, with the
result that the negro had nearly
double the amount of cotton that his
landlord had 1 only saw the bare
cotton stalks in January, but they
showed the difference, and the land
owner told me that the negro had
given him a good lesson.

Don't Kill the Meadow Lark.

Among Our most valued birds is the
meadow lark, with the golden breast,
marked with black, and the CHEEKY,
liquid note, says the michigan Farm
er." In inquiring into the economic
value of some of Our common birds,
the department. of agriculture examin-
ed the stomachs Of nearly 200 mead
ow larks from various parts of the
country. Over 70 per cent of their
contents consisted of insects and 23
per cent. vegetable food The insects
were bugs, beetles, grasshoppers, cat
erpillars, etc. Even those killed dur
ing periods when the ground was
covered with snow contained a large
percentage of insects.
"More than half the food of this lit
tie friend of the farmer consists Of
harmful insects" says Professor Beal,
of the biological survey Of the govern
ment, "and it is the poorest kind Of
practice for the farmer to hunt or to
allow anyone else to hunt this bird
upon his premises. It's food is COM
posed of destructive insects or nox-
ious weed seeds and waste grain.
Even when found feeding in the grain
field, it is eating insects as a rule. 1t
is a strong point, however, in the
birds favor that although naturally
an insect eater, it is able to subsist
on vegetable food and consequently

The boy who has to work hard
with his hands to get his education,
to get his start in life, is training his
moral muscle for the fight. He is
ready when the shock of the combat
comes. He is full-armed for the fight;
he knows what it is to stint himself;
to do without comforts and luxuries.
He is more afraid of crooked dollar
than he is of shabby coat. He can
go without shave for a week, if he
has not the dime to pay for it. Dirty
hands do not keep him awake at
nights, but a dirty conscience would.
Such boys have a mortgage on life.
They are not the poor boys. The real

No external remedy ever yet de-
vised has SO fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions az
successfully as Allcock's Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
featured upon scientific principles of
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which a plaster is re-
CURED. They are speedy in their &C.
ton because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
OF muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have been
extensively initiated, therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.

ANIMALS THAT SHED TEARS.
Travellers Observations Have Proved
That Weeping Is Common.

That weeping Is Common.
Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst, q
mule has been seen to cry from the
pain of an injured foot and camels,
it is said, shed tears in streams, says
a writer in Harper's Weekly. A COW
sold by its mistress who had tended
young soko ape used to cry from vexa-
ton If Livingston didn't nurse it in
his arms when it asked him to.
: Wounded apes have died crying, and
apes have wept over their young slain
by hunters. A chimpanzee trained to
carry water jugs broke one and fell
a-crying, which proved sorrow, though
it wouldn't mend the jug. Rats, dis
covering their young drowned, have
been moved to tears. A giraffe which
a huntsman's rifle had injured began
to cry when approached. Sea lions
often weep over the loss of their
young. Gordon Cummings observed
tears trickling down the face Of a dy-
ing elephant. And even an orang,
outang when deprived of it's mango
was so vexed that it took to weeping.
There is little doubt, therefore, that
animals do cry from grief or weep
from pain or annoyance.
