Way to Save Peas.

While down at Mclean, in Rich
mond County, we saw a new way TO
save peas. They do not try to pick
them. They pull up the vines and
pile them about in convenient places
in the field. Then with a sheet, they
go and beat out the peas from the
vines. Then they haul the vines
home for COW feed and litter for their
stables. During the scarcity of labor,
this is e good plan. But it is better
to get a thrash With all attachment
for cleaning peas, and thrash them
out. Some of IL pea-huller men will
have to adjust their machines for
cleaning them from the vines. One
merchant at Mclean had shipped
four, carloads, and We expect the fifth
ere now.
In talking to a negro, NJ said: "I
sold my pea crop to-day. l only run
a one-horse farm. and I sold thirty
TWO bushels icr $3.50. This helps
out ones income. There is no more
important crop for the Southern
farmer than peas. So We must learn
all we can about them, and raise all
we can CT them."-Southern Guilt

Variation in Asparagus.

The writer has used asparagus
along division and back fences where
it serves the double purpose of orna-
ment and use. 1t softcns and hides
the oDtrusive division fence, with
its airy growth proving indeed orna-
mental. 1t occupies ground that is
often not otherwise occupied and at
the same time such paintings can be
made to furnish a family supply OF
a delicious vegetable. II is true
that with the attention usually given
the product is not comparable to the
truckers product, but q fair article
may be SO grown and as it is for
home consumption its smaller size is
not seriously in the way. Here salt
ing again answers a good purpose;
waste brines may BIZ put to use. This
combination OF utility and ornament
in many instances is not desirable,
but here we have one in which ordi-
nary objections hardly apply..-Er-

MUST WORK TOGETHER.

No town will become a good bust
ness center so long as its business
men rely on a few merchants to make
the effort to bring trade to town. Too
often the men in a few lines Of trade
are about the only one that reach
out after custom. Other merchants
wait until these men induce the peo-
1le to come to town and content them
selves with trade that naturally drifts
to their place. A public spirited man
should ask himself if he is doing his
part to attract people to come to
town to trade in helping the entire
business community, and no town is
a success unless all lines are working
to extend the trade as far as possible
and trying to bring a larger terri
tory in the circles in which the town
is the business center.

during the mild days when there is
no frost in the ground, to make ex-
animation. The insect ome from
an egg laid on the bark close to the
ground. This matches out, enters h
tree and lives on the inner bark, or
on the soft, new wood Immediately
under it. Its presence may be known
by the emulation of something like
sawdust (Which is the castings of the
insect), often mixed with gum, at the
collar of the tree. Removing a por-
ton of the soil to facilitate cutting
into the tree, the little creature will
soon be found. IL the operation We
always use a knife with a sharp point
and a strong, rather long blade. The
worm is generally about three-quar-
tiers of an inch in length and of a dull
white color. 1t is soft and easily
killed. Sometimes it has to be fol-
lowed two or three inches, which is
not difficult, as it leaves it's track be-
hind. Frequently it works directly
downward. in which case the injury
done is slight; but at other times its
course is horizontal. and it may en-
tirely girdle the tree. When found
and killed, the earth is t. be re-
placed around the collar OF the tree.

Leak For Farmers to Ston.

Various calculations have been
made about how many millions of
dollars Southern farmers lose every
year through the course Of many of
them in leaving their cotton exposed
to the weather while holding it for
higher prices. Such careless people
also suffer heavy losses on cotton
seed. 1t seems that tobacco growers
similarly offend against thrift and
themselves. The following is from
the Mount Airy News:
ut is astonishing to see the condi-
ton of the tobacco that is being sold
on this market. It does seem that
the farmers would see that they are
losing much money by bringing their
tobacco here in q damaged condition.
We stood OH the warehouse floor to-
day Wednesday, and saw the COM
monest Jugs sold fo1 nine cents, and
the very next pile which appeared to
be q fine grade of wrappers sell for
five cents. The last pile was badly
damaged, and not Of much value to
any one Tobacco that is in good
condition is bringing in the neigh
borhood of ten cents around from
what we could judge by a careful ex-
animation of the tobacco we saw sold.
But there is not less than half of the
weed that is badly damaged"
II there vas ever a time when any
farmer was unable to provide proper
shelter for his harsestings, that time
is now past, and we trust that losses
to the South through this cause will
henceforth diminish.-Charlotte Oh

OF Interest to Women.

Every woman naturally should be
healthy and strong, but a great many
women, unfortunately, are not, owing to
the unnatural condition of the lives we
lead. Headache. backache and Il general
tired condition are prevalent amongst the
women of to-day. and to relieve these con-
ditions women rush to the druggists for a
bottle of some preparation supposed to be
particularly for them. and containing
nobody knows what. If they would just
get u box Of Brandreth's Pills, and take
them regularly every. night for a time. all
their trouble would disappear, as these
pills regulate the organs of the feminine
system. The same dose has the same
effect, no matter how long they are used.
Brandreth's Pills have been in Use for
over IL century and are sold in every drug
and medicine store, plain OF sugar-coatel.

Profits in Raising Pork.

Ine editor OF the Tampa Times is
a believer in the profits OF hos rails
ing. He quite frequently recon-
mends the pig as 2 profit maker, but
it is not the razorback, but rather a
0 between the native and some
improved breed. He Gays:
ut is about time this methodical
newspaper was making another allu-
sion to hogs ard the profit there is
and can be made in their production
in Florida. We note that the prices
on the farms of the Northwest. or
perhaps it would be more correct to
say at the railroad stations, are COM
fortably about and above Sc per hum
bred. That is about the figure that
can be had for good smooth hogs at
stations in Florida, though we do not
have the we'll organized and perma-
nent and unswampaole markets those
wiser people and better managers
have in the more nortaerly section of
the country.
Translated into argumentative
and persuasive terms, this means that
a snug. smooth hog, a year old, in
good condition, Weighing 600 pounds
and costing it's owner about 50 in
cash and about as much in labor,
would cash in for twelve good, hard
dollars. Now that looks like the
farmer who makes a speciality of
breeding and f%attening swine would
make easy money out Of the business.
It is true the business requires some
industry, pains and system. The pig,

fences, dividing the land so it can
be planted in suitable feed for pas

to the other as occasion may require.
Plenty of fresh and pure water should
be provided so the animals can drink
at will. While very young the pigs
should be fed swill made from cooked
meal, bran, grits, sweet potatoes and
such vegetables as may be handy.
They should always have as much as
they will clean UP twice a day, poured
into %troughs, cleaned out at least as
often as once per day. AS soon as
large enough they should be fed
green forage stuff and vegetables.
Later pastured on peanuts and
chufas, fed oats, corn, cane and such
other stuff as may be produced on the
farm. At ten to twelve months old
they will weigh zoo pounds each and
be a smooth and even lot.
They can be sold then at Sc each.
