three other railroads projected to and
through Post City. The financial
stringency will probably delay build
ing for time.
The first bale Of cotton was brought
into the new city the day before
Thanksgiving. but no gin is in opera
tion here yet. The country here
abouts Is almost ideal for cotton, as
well as for other crops OF the
temperate zone. The elevation at
Post City is 1926 feet above sea
level and the air is dry, sweet
and pure. The land is a rich loan
mixed with Just a trifle of sand. maxi
ing IL fine for the farmer to plow. IL
grows cotton, corn, wheat, oats, alfal-
IA, and the two great and profitable
grains for feeding stock; these are
known as kafiir corn and milo maize.
Both grow much like sugar cane,
with "bushy" heads. These heads are
made up OF small kernels about the
size Of peas. These kernels OF grain
are composed largely of starch, and
almost identical with the composition
OF Indian corn. This will produce all
the way from so 10 100 bushels TO the
acre, and is wonderful feed for
horses, cattle and hogs. The climate
is particularly fitted for profitable
hog raising, by reason Of the altitude,
making 1t free from hog cholera and
other diseases. At the same time al
falfa and the kaffir corn and milo
maize raised on low priced land In
large quantities make II possible TO
fatten hogs at a very low price.
Next summer n cotton gin will be
established in Post City, to be follow
ed by an oil mill for extracting the
oil from the cottonseed. A large
laundry will be built and other pub
lie works, found necessary for the
convenience OF a community.
The lots. houses and the farms sold
on small payments down, and month
ly payments extended over a term OF
years, makes II possible fora man OF |

RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE SIMPLE HOMEMADE

Buy the Ingredients from Any Drug.
nist in Your Town and Shake
Them in Bottle to
Mix This.

A wellknown authority on Rheu.
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandellon, one-half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparills, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip.
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, il taken reg
ularly for a few days, is said to over.
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain anu swelling, IL any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in.
juring the stomach While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc. some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores Of even
the small towns ELECTS the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
will mix the prescription if asked to.

Many farmers do not realize the i'm.
portance of feeding their stock at reg.

lance. Take a lot of hogs which have
to wait after their regular time for
feed and see how restless they be-
come And what is true of them Is
true in a great measure of other ami
mails. The man who is regular in his
habits, eating at regular hour, will,
otner things being equal thrive best
and be healthiest and strongest; and
what is true Of pan in this regard is
correspondingly true of the lower ami.

the habit of feeding his STOCK regularly

FARMING IN
THE SOUTH
THE COTTON PICKING SEASON,
The Staple Should Be Gathered as
Rapidly as It Opens,

The world is standing in anxiety,
awaiting the outcome of the cotton
picking season In the South. II means
prosperity, not alone 10 the nation, hot
to millions of humanity who depend on
It for employment and clothing The
chances are now that the farmers will
receive greater benefit from the pres
ent crop than they have ever received
from any one crop before In many
sections the yield will be fair, judging
by present prospects, and good, prices
are practically assured.
However, there Is a feature in the
cotton picking season that can be
made to add greatly to she farmers
revenue, 1t consists solely in gath
ering cotton as rapidly as it opens.
If this plan is followed the staple is
kept at its highest point and there
fore more valuable. There is no loss
from drying out, storms, and various
other causes that work to the detri-
ment of the crop If left out in the
field after it has opened The aver
age farmer can save enough by pick
irg his cron promptly to pay for the
gathering ginning, bagging and ties.
1t Is an easy matter to demonstrate
the value of such a method Take a
plat of cotton alongside another that
is equally as good and pick it, leaving
the other in the field as usual and
figure out the result 1t will be
greatly in favor of the patch that is
picked.
But there is more than mere ma
teriallty to the cotton picking season.
Men with mastery minds have knelt
at the shrine Of the Nngly plant and
wept tears, men with misery natures
have gloated over the turn Nf prices in
a single day Women who should
have been as gentle as tie southern
breeze and as tender as the spring
time pkant touched by the morning
dew, have become hardened in the
iron grip Of its powers. And the grand
est homes ever reared have been made
desolate by the turn of the seasons
yield
That is not half the story. In the
strenuous times Of less than twenty
years ago thousands of farmers had
to struggle to earn a mere pittance
from the most fertile land that has
ever been peopled by a progressive
lot of folk. In the cities, thousands
of mill operatives turned the staple
into thread and cloth and so-called
hard times prevailed on every section
of the country.
But times have changed since then
and the farmers Of the country have
it IN ther power to maintain present
conditions Indefinitely. The market
ing of the crop can be carried on sys
tematcal!y to a great advantage
Planting crops needed at home and
growing winter crops that will pro
tect the farms will be found beneficial.
