FARMING IN
THE SOUTH
PEAVlNE AS A MONEY CROP.
viii Pay Better Than Cotton On the
Same Grade of Land.

! can make more clear money on
beavine hay than can on cotton on
the same grade of land, writes B. F.
Hancock to the Southern Ruralist.
In the fall of 1904 l took eight acres
of cornstalk land that only made
seven or eight bushels of corn per
acre, with $50 pounds of guano, and
sowed it in wheat, which only made
twenty-eight bushels on the eight
acres. Then l decided to try some
thing else.
1 turned the stubble under and
drilled in one bushel of speckled peas
and 100 pounds of guano per acre.
Then smoothed the ground with what
l called a sleigh. ct is made of two
pieces of timber by s feet and feet
long, tapered at one end; then take
boards l by by feet long, and com
mence at the wide end lap until COW
ered.)
Be sure and kill all of the weeds an
grass in sowing. Let the peas and
grass come up together, then they
will be reay to cut at the same time.
Let about three-fourths of the pods be
ripe when you begin to cut. Do not
cut more at one time than you can
care for Cut after the dew is off.
Rake before night, leave in windows
until next evening, and then haul to
the barn and stack.
Now for the profit. I sold off the
eight acres $109.S0 worth of hay.
sowed the same field in wheat and
again made ninety bushels. Then put
the same in peas, and made $175
worth of hay l sell all of my hay
in the bulk, and get $40 per ton.
l can put one acre of peavine hay
on the market in three days work for
one man and team from start to fin
ish, hauling it fifteen miles to mar
ket Can bale and ship in less time.
would advise our farmers to plant
less corn and cotton, prepare for it
better and make more. Sow their
land in peas, commencing about May
and continue till July 10. Sow five
or six acres every time It rains, and
you won't lose any time in your crop.
Then you can take care of the hay,
as it will not all be on hand at once.
Be sure to fill your barn, and
then sell the rest. You will have fat
stock and a nice bank account before
cotton selling time.
l SOW my best land in sorghum or
German millet Rich land grows the
vines too large and woody, so that
the stock will not eat it.
Don't fail to SOW because peas are
high, for when they are high is the
time to have some to sell.

NOT THE TIME TO STOP.
Manager Saw the Possibilities in the
Situation.

Jim tombstone, the famous base
ball umpire, said recently in New
York that baseball crowds were far
kinder to umpires than they used
to be.
This is true of theater crowds,
too" said Mr. tombstone. "Why, with
provincial touring companies in the
past, maltreatment was regularly ex-
pected. In fact, the companies prof
tied by it in more ways than one.
81 know of a company that was
playing The Broken Vow in Paint
Rock, a one night stand. The audi
ence didn't like The Broken Vow and
eggs, cabbages and potatoes rained
upon the stage.
"Still the play went on. The hero
raved through his endless speeches,
lodging an onion or q baseball every
other minute, and pretty sore from
those missiles that he hadn't been
able to dodge.
But finally gallery auditor in a
paroxysm of rage and scorn hurled a
heavy boot, and the actor, thoroughly
alarmed, started to retreat.
Keep on playing, you fool Kissed
the manager from the wings, as he
hooked in the boot with an umbrella.
Keep on till we get the other one"

FEET OUT.
She Had Curious Habits.

When a person has to keep the feet
out from under cover during the cold
est nights in winter because of the
heat and prickly sensation, it is time
that coffee, which causes the trouble,
be left off.
There is no end to the nervous con-
ditions that coffee will produce, 1t
shows in one way in one person and in
another way in another. In this case
the lady lived in S. Oak. She says:
Il have had to lie awake half the
night with my feet and limbs out of
the bed on the coolest nights, and felt
afraid to sleep for fear of catching
cold / had been troubled for years
with twitching and jerking of the
have been unable to go to church or to
lectures because of that awful feeling
that | must keep on the move.
when it was brought to my atten-
tion that coffee caused so many ner-
yous diseases, | concluded to drop
coffee and take Postum Food Coffee to
see if my trouble was caused by coffee
drinking.
81 only drank one cup of coffee for
breakfast but that was enough to do
the business for me. When | quit it
my troubles disappeared in an almost
miraculous way. Now l have no more
of the jerking and twitching and can
sleep with any amount Of bedding over
me and sleep all night, in sound, peace
full rest.
Postum Food Coffee is absolutely
worth its weight in gold to me-

Stick to one Breed.

The farmer who buys a trio or
more of fowls in the fall will make
no mistake, and il he prefers to get
the eggs in the spring all will be
well, but he must expect to be ridi-
culed by some of his neighbors for
paying one or two dollars for male
or hen. Nevertheless, these same
farmers and neighbors will promptly
come forward and request to change
eggs" with him when they desire to
hatch chicks in the spring. If a
farmer buys eggs of the standard
breeds he buys stock, the eggs being
simply the embryo chicks. The
farmer who desires to improve also
goes too far sometimes. Instead of
depending upon one breed he begins
with two or more. His interest will
be sufficiently strong for year or
more to keep his birds separate, but
in the course of time he will under
take to save labor by turning out all
the breeds together.

Reform in Balinq.

AS several large gatherings of cot
ton farmers are set to come of soon
for the purpose of getting together on
the best system of storing and mar
keting cotton, we are of the opinion
that the first step in reform is to de-
mand a more dense compact form and
better covering for bales. When we
sell cotton the weight of the net lint
only should be considered. We should
forget the bagging and ties and sell
lint cotton by taking the graft there
is in the question out of the way alto
gether. Cotton yarn is sold in bales
the same as lint, but the actual net
yarn only in the bale enters into con-
sideration. Cotton producers must
protect their lint cotton from the
weather, dirt, waste, CRIME and pilage
the same as the manufacturer pro-
tects the manufactured cotton goods
from the same loss. 1t is of little i'm
portance to the average cotton grow
err whether the round bale or the
smaller and more dense form of
square bale takes the day so that he
rids the trade of it's present great
loss as before named.-J. G. Stribling.

POINTERS EoR MIXERS.

Cows should be MIXED in COM
Portable, clean, thoroughly drained
and well-lighted place.
Every time you abuse and brighten
a COW, you throw her milk and butter
machinery out of gear.
The value of a COW should be fixed
by the amount of fat there is in her
milk and what it costs to produce it.
The udder should be carefully
cleaned before commencing to milk
and the last drop of milk should be
drawn from the udder.
Heavy mixers are often rough
boned COWS with large frames, but
joints and i'll shapes are not essen
tial in the makeup of a good COW.
To allow a certain quantity of food
to each cow in the herd alike may
result in an insufficient quantity for
some and too much food for others.
To realize the greatest profit, the
tinctIy for milk. To combine milk
and beef in one animal is sure fail
ure for either or both.
If your COW has a sore teat, try to
get the sore spot in the palm of your
hand. You will find that she will
make less fuss about the job of milk
ing if you do this.
In buying dairy COW look we'll to
the udder. 1t should be well up in
front and high up in the rear, teats
of pOOd size and we'll Dlaced and far
enough apart so that the animal can
be MIXED without constantly hitting
the knuckleS.

PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN.
The Public Should Have Them Trans
lated by the Druggists.

What virtue is there in the secrecy
with which the doctor hedges about
his profession?
Professional etiquette" occupies a
prominent place in the curriculum of
every medical school, and when strict
ly analysed professional etiquette"
seems to mean doing what is best for
the doctor, individually and col
lectively."
Among the things that "is best for
the doctor" is the writing of his pre-
scriptions in Latin, and thus keeping
the public in ignorance not only of
what it is taking for its ills, but fore
ing call upon the doctor each time
prescription is needed.
In plain and unmistakable English
the writing of prescriptions in Latin
makes business for the doctors.
Let us say that you have the ague.
You had it last year and the year be-
fore. Each time you have visited the
doctor and he has prescribed for you
in Latin. You have never known
what he has given you for the disease,
and so each time you are forced to go
to him again and give him an oppor-
tunity to repeat his prescription-in
Latin, and his fee-in dollars.
If you ask the doctor why he uses
Latin in writing his prescriptions, why
he writes aqua" when he means wa
ter, he will give you a technical dis
sertation on the purity of the Latin
language, and the fact that all words
are derived from it, etc. 1t will be
dissertation that you may not be able
to answer, but it will hardly convince
you.
1t would be a good thing for the pub
lie to devise little code of ethics of
it's own; ethics that will be "a good
thing for the public individually and
collectively"
Let us apply one of the rules of this
code of ethics to you, the individual.
You call in the physician when you
have the ague, the grippe, or any Of
the other ills to which human flesh is
heir, and which you may have again
some day. The doctor prescribes-in
Latin, and you take this, to you, mean
ingless scribble to the druggist to
have it compounded. Right here is
where you come in, if you are wise.
Say to the druggist that you want a
translation of that prescription. 1t is
your privilege to know what you are
taking. While the doctors code of
ethics may not recognize this right it
is yours just the same.
With the translated prescription in
your possession you have two distinct
advantages. You know what you are
taking, and should you wish to call
some other doctor at some time you
will be able to tell him what drugs you
have been putting into your system,
and also if you should have the same
disease again you can save yourself
visit to the doctor, and his fee, by
taking this translated prescription to
the druggist once more and having it
refilled.
