FAR RMER AND PLANTER
BROOM CORN.
Some Things Necessary to Learn
 About Growing 1t.

We published a piece sometime ago, giving the high price being paid for broom corn and suggested that some of our southern farmers might be realizing some of this money, at same time promised to publish the details of growing it successfully, says the Southern CultiYator. Since then we have been posting ourselves upon the subject and We never more strongly realized the value and importance of knowing just exactly how to do a thing right. Broom corn can be q profitable business only to those who will take the care and pains to learn it thoroughly and carry out each de tail with exact precision. The first requisite for success is to obtain good seed. There are two main varieties, the standard" or long, and the dwarf" The former is used for lnak- ing carpet brooms and the other for
 whisks" and hearth brooms.' Any party here in the south would want to grow the Standard" They should get the best seed possible and then by pains, taking selection, improve their seed from year to year. Three quarts of seed will plant an acre. An acre will produce 500 or GOO pounds of brush. The seed should be planted in three-foot rows, from eight to ten inches in drill and have from three to five stalks in a hill. The ground should be well prepared and manured. Sandy land makes the best quality. Never plant until ground is warm. say good season for cotton planting, as the broom corn grows off slowly and would get foul if planted too soon After it grows off can be cultivated as easily as corn. When it is in good bloom is time to cut. Generally man goes through and turns the heads of two rows down, by bending the stalks over to the middle. Then he comes along and cuts them off with six inches of stem to each head. No rain must fall on this brush. It must be taken to a shed and arranged in layers like you cure tobacco. An open shelter is best, but any well-ventilat- ed euthouse will do. The seed should be eurried off before stacking Where  they grow in large quantities they do this with a machine very much like our threshing machines, but in small way one would have to use curry comb or invent some arrangement with sharp spikes. When the stems are so dry that no water can be driven off by twisting them. which is usually about three weeks, they are ready to put in large stacks. We should have said, at first they should not be piled in layers more than three inches deaD or the brush will not cure bright. This brush is packed into bales very much like our cotton for shipment. The price of broom corn depends upon the bright green color and the straightness and length of tie
 brush.

PINE TREE BREAD.
kAMSC CHATKANS USE THE INNER
 BARK OF PINE TREES.
Macerate It in Water and Bake Good, Wholesome Bread-The Pine Keeps the Blood Pure and
 The Body Healthy.

In Kamschatka the people live in earth-covered pits. MT. Kennan com pares the sound of their language to that of water running out of a narrow mouth jug. Their bread is made from the inner bark of the Pine Tree, mace rated in water and baked without flour. They are hardy race, the Pine keep ing the blood pure and the various or gans of the body in a healthy condi- ton. Consumption is unknown among them.
 A noted specialist in throat and lung trouble, who established a camp for consumptives in the Pine Woods of Maine, and whose remarkable cures there have attracted great attention from the medical world, says that one half ounce of the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, mixed with two ounces of Gly- cerine and one-half pint of good Whis- ky and used in teaspoonful doses, will heal and strengthen the lungs, break up a cold in twenty-four hours, and cure any cough that is curable. The ingredients can be secured from any prescription druggist at small cost.
 Inquiry at the prescription depart ment of leading local druggist elicit ed the information that the Pure Vir- gin Oil of Pine is put up only in half ounce vials for dispensing. Each vial is securely sealed in a round wooden case, with engraved wrapper, showing the name-Virgin Oil of Pine lPure) guaranteed under the Food and Drug act, June 30, 1906 Prepared only by the Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, O. plainly printed thereon. There are many rank limitations of Virgin Oil of Pine CPure), which are being put out under various names, such as Con- centrated Oil of Pine, Pine Balsam, etc. Never accept these as a substi- ute for the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as they will invariably produce nausea and never effect the desired results.

FOR SIX THOUSAND YEARS
Other People Have Priced the Farm
 ers' Product.

A great deal has been said of late, corning the need of closer co-opera- ton among farmers so that may con trol the prices of their own products. In this line of thought the Nacog- doches (La.) Plaindealer says:
 For six thousand years other peo- pie have been pricing the farmers products It has mattered not what he raised, nor in what quantity, he has had absolutely nothing to say about the price at which he should dispose of it. Through all these weary centuries of labor he has toiled in the rain and in the sun, the heat and the cold, to make two blades of grass grow where only one grew before and if reference is had to crab grass, he has more than succeeded-and caused the earth to bring forth an abundant harvest of products for man and beast, but until now he has been regarded as a nonenity when it came to fixing a price on these products. Such has not been the case with any other class Of people, except Ill limited extent to laborers. The price of all manufactured products, profes- sional services, etc., has been, and is almost wholly regulated by the ven- dor-you pay their price or let it alone Under this system the burden has fallen unequally on the shoulders of the farmer-he has taken what he could get for his own products and paid what he had to for the other fel- lows product Can it be successfully denied that this inequality is largely responsible for his condition today? Isn't it about time change was be- ing wrought and the farmer was pfic- ing his own products? What is sauce for the goose ought to be sauce for the gander.

What the South Needs.

The great need for the development of the agricultural resources of the is not immigrants, as some seem to think, but it is the medication of right ideas and correct principles of agri- culture into the minds and practices of the people we already have, and nothing will enforce them so much as the scarcity of labor We certainly don't need labor to enable us to make more cotton. The fear that we will make too much cotton has become a nightmare to the cotton farmer

"Wolves" In Backs of Cattle.

Numerous methods have been rec commended for killing the wolves (larvae of the OK warble) found un- der the skin along the backs of cattle from January i to April but none ap- pears to meet the case. To kill the grub and allow it to remain in the back is unsatisfactory, because the presence of the dead body usually causes more or less irritation and a disagreeable sore. One of the best methods is to enlarge the opening in the skin with knife just as soon as the grub is formed, and force it out by pressure.

The Texas onion acreage this year is placed at about 1,500 acres, only sNttle more than half that of the pre- vi6uS season.

Two Rules for Good carriaoe.

If you are walking along the street and wake up to the fact that you are carrying yourself poorly take the men, tai attitude of standing straight, as well as. the physical one. Look at the men you meet and imagine that each of them owes you a dollar. Put even suggestion of arrogance into your position. Hold your head well back; look people squarely in the face. This will not only give the impression to others that you possess the power you want, but it will actually tend to bring that power. Keep the neck against the collar.-World's Work.

He DOUBTS PUTNAM LEGENDS.
Mr.. Mead Says Cottage Is Wrong and
He Didn't Shave.

GREENWICH, Conn, June 10.-Members
of Putnam Hill Chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution. and others who take
pride in the Putnam cottage, which has
been maintained by the society as tea
room and museum for Putnam relics, are
much distressed by the declaration of Isaac
l.. Mead that Putnam never stopped at the
cottage. The indignation is added to by
further declaration that the old razor which
was picked up at the top of Putnam hill
was not used by Putnam The old story
has it that he was shaving with the razor
when the word came that the British were
approaching. and that ne dropped it as he
and his horse dashed down the hill.
Mr.. Mead advances three reasons for the
statement that the razor was not owned by
Putnam. He says he does not believe that
Gen. Putnam ever was patron of the
Knapp tavern. now the Putnam cottage
because Knapp. the keeper of the tavern.
was tory and Putnam would have stayed
at hosiery kept by loyalist. His second
reason is based on his opinion that Put
nam never rode down the steps near which
the razor was found. Mr. Meads grand
father Rev Mark Mead. was told by Gen.
Ebenezer Mead. who witnessed the escape
that Putnam went down the incline near
the point where the monument to Putnam
stands
Finally. says Mr.. Mead. as the general
had attended the dance at Pecksland the
evening previous, he probably was clearly
shaved and did not have to shave on the
morning of his escape. 1t was customary
then. says Mr.. Mead. for men to shave only
once a week, and that the general should
have been engaged in removing a beard
which he probably did not have is ridicu-
louS to the critic.
