ENTicED BY THE EAR.
Strenuous Actions Mildly Explained
by the Minister.

Many stories are told of the &C.
centric doings and sayings of an
old clergyman who lived in Maine
some years ago. At one time there
had been fight among some men,
one of whom was seriously hurt. A
trial took place, and the old minister
who had seen the ARRAY was sum-
moned as a witness.
What was Salson doing" was
the first question.
ooh, he was slashing around"
well, sir, just what do you mean
by that?"
why, he was knocking about him
here and there"
Now, sir, kindly tell us plain
ly what Salson did to this man."
'Why, he-he enticed him" said
the old minister slowly. "He enticed
him with a crowbar. He used the
crowbar to persuade the man-to en-
tice him; and by series of pokes
and blows he succeeded in doing it,"
said the minister, mildly.

scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies Fruitless-Suf.
fered 10 Years - Completely
Cured by Cuticura.

"Small sores appeared on each of
my lower limbs and shortly afterwards
they became so sore that l could
scarcely walk. The sores began to
heal, but small scaly eruptions ap-
peared. The itching was so severe
that l would scratch the sores until the
blood began to flow. After I suffered
thus about ten years made a renewed
effort to effect a cure. The efuptions
by this time had appeared on every
part of my body except my face and
hands. The best doctor in my native
county and many remedies gave no
relief. All this was fruitless. Finally
my hair began to fall out and l was
rapidly becoming bald. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, 1 thought / would try Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Soap. After
using three boxes l was completely
cured, and my hair was restored, after
fourteen years of suffering and an ex-
penditure of at least $50 or $50 in vain
ly endeavoring to find a cure. B.

NeeIectina Corn to Work Cotton.

We do not want to complain too
much, but from all we can see and
hear our farmers are neglecting their
corn to work their cotton. AS our
cotton is so late and as our money
must come from our cotton crop, we
can not expect things to be different.
We are glad to say a good crop of
corn has been planted and we hope
the farmers will be able to work it
well. Do not neglect it any longer
than possible. We do not expect to
let up in our efforts until our Southern
farmers raise their supply of corn and
then utilize the stalks for cattle food.
We want to call your attention to this
very significant fact-this system of
working our cotton and neglecting our
corn shows our dependent position. If
growing cotton exclusively was as
profitable as many believe, or argue,
why are our people still so poor and
dependent upon the credit system?

To Prevent Land From Washing.

The saving of the vast amount of
plant food now carried away by the
rivers is a great problem for the flu
ture agricultural chemist. In one es-
innate the silt borne off by the Mis-
sissippi in one year is placed at
443,50,000 tons, and analysis has
shown G. H. Stone that in this guam
tity there must be S,120625 tons of
lime, 5,591,250 tons of potash, 1,109.375
tons of prosphoric acid, and G65, 625
tons of nitrogen, besides soda and
other materials of uncertain useful
ness. The value of the fertilizing ma
terial removed in one year by this
one river alone is estimated at about
one thousand million dollars.

SOUTHERN
AGRICULTURE
BONDAGE OF THE COW.
What the Southern Cows Bondage to
the Cattle Tick Means.

The Department of Agriculture at
Washington has been of great service
to the farmers Of the United States,
but l doubt if any work it has under
taken for the people of the south is of
greater Importance to us of this sec
ton than the work now being done in
connection with our several State De-
partments looking to the extermina-
ton of the cattle tick. The ultimate
object of this work is not simply to
free a few counties in each state of
this pest, which is the greatest draw
back to the cattle interests of the
south, but to shove the quarantine line
further and further down until the last
Of the ticks shall be compelled to sub
sist upon the blood extracted from the
bodies of the sea serpents that infest
the waters Of the Gulf of Mexico, leav-
ing cur cattle free to be shipped at
any time of year to any market that
will pay the best price.
Every merchant, banker, farmer
and, in fact, every man who has any
interest in the material prosperity of
the south, should render every aid
possible to the men who have this
great work in hand. Few of us realize
what this work means to us. The south
east has the climate, the water the
grass, and the greatest array of for
age plants of any section of the Unit
ed States; in fact, everything that is
needful in great cotton growing sec
ton and only this little blood sucking,
fever causing curse stands between us
and the greatest cattle prosperity.
This work means millions, not alone
to the cattle men Of our section, but
to every man who handles Cor will
handle) the cattle mans dollars.
SO I am making this personal APP
peal, that when you hear that the
cattle inspectors are at work in your
section that you render every aid in
your power to further their work. Let
not little personal belief or feelings
keep you from doing your duty to our
beloved south. The men who are en-
gagged in this work are men of ability
who know their business, and know it
far better than do we who have made
only a superficial, if any, study of the
question.
This writer believes in COW prosper
ity; it means not only present dollars,
but the enhancement in value of every
farm in our land on which he COW
comes. 1t means that permanent
prosperity that is founded upon the
continued enrichment of our soil. And
we know after all is said and done,
after manufactures, railroads, and all
other great outside Industries have re-
ceived their due share of credit, that
the true prosperity of a nation de-
ponds upon a rich SOIL and in conse-
quence, a prosperous agriculture.
So let every one of our readers do
his share in this work of tick eXtermi-
nation. Let's be so in earnest in the
matter that the work will be pushed
with still greater vigor, and if the
department grows weary in the work
let us raise such a howl that Uncle
Sans ears will Jingle and he will be
reminded to push on and release the
COW of the south from her bondage

JAPANESE WILL

ARMAMENT PLAN

VICTORIA, B. c., May 2S.-Jap-
anese newspapers received by the
steamer Empress of India from Y.O-
kohama contain an interview with
Count Okuma, one of Japan's most
prominent statesmen, regarding The
Hague peace conference, in which he
says:
IF Great Britain introduces an
armament restriction proposal for
debate, Japan will support it. and
possibly also the United States. 1t
would be difficult to speculate
though on the probable attitude of
European powers as to the proposal.
With regard to the regulations of:
military and naval battles, rights
and duties of neutrals, regulation of
wireless telegraphy and contraband
of war, Japan and Russia had
claim to advance their views, in
view of their practical experience.
AS far Jas Japan is concerned, the
conference affords the best opportn5
