stock. 1t removes the ears from the
husks, and tears the entire stalk into
shreds at one operation, as rapidly as
the stalks can be fed into the machine.
There are several kinds, but every
farmer should have one, as 1t will en-
able him to use the leaves, husks and
stalks as SO much hay, which can be
baled, if necessary. When fodder IS
thus prepared the cattle will not reject
so much as usual and the shredded fod
der uneaten is suitable for bedding, or
as an absorbent in the manure heap.
The saving in feed by the shredding
of the entire stalk will be an addition
to the profit of the farm, and will also
enable the farmer to keep more stock
Williamson Plan of Corn Culture.
A bulletin by the South Carolina sta
ton contains a detailed description of
the Williamson method Of corn culture
and reports observations made on a
number Of farms on which the plan
was followed. Where the plan was

BILE or more than double that secured
from nearby fields of equal solid char
acters and where the usual methods OF
corn culture were practiced.'
Inree different varieties of corn were
found to have been used on these fields.
One variety, called Williamson corn,
was grown on all fields except two, one
Of which was planted to Marlboro Pro
life and the other to variety similar
to the Williamson corn. 1t was no
ticed that with the Marlboro Prolific
the size of ears and their number per
stalk were apparently uninfuenced by
the method of culture.
The peculiar or essential features or
the Williamson plan are summarized
as follows: Deep and thorough prepar-
alton of seed bed, deep planting, in
frequent and partial cultivation in the
early stages of growth, an increase of
200 per cent or more in the number of
stalks per acre, postponing application
of fertilizers until corn is given its
second cultivation, intentional retarGa-
ton Of early growth of the stalk until
its size is reduced one-half or one
quarter its normal development, and
following this augmented development
of the ear by cultivation and heavy APP
plication Of fertilizers made at appro-
pirate intervals. The corn Is planted
four to six inches below the SOL sur
face and laid by four to six 1ncnes
above the level, leaving the lower eight
to twelve inches of the stalk below
ground 1t is suggested that the brace
roots under these conditions are prob
ably better able to perform their nu-
tritive functions than when partly ex-
posed.

Bedding for Animals

Do not utilize straw as bedding bv
drying it to be used over again. Pass
all feeding material through the feed
cutter. so as to render it more service
able in the manure heap. The cost of
cutting the material is an item, but alb
sorption of the liquids in the heap will
be more complete and the gain in the
value of the manure will be larger. As
the manure will then always be fine
and easily handled. it can be forked
over with but little labor. so as to more
thoroughly decompose all portions
Coarse litter will absorb liquids. but
there will be a loss until such materi-
ais become fine in the heap. The fine
litter will also make excellent bedding
and will also readily assist in keeping
the stalls dry

MRS.NEllIE Markham

A nervous irritable woman often on
the verge of mysteries, is Il source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
Such women not only drive nus
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
seven tenthS of the nervous proStra-
ton, nervous dependency, t h e
blues sleeplessness, and nervous
irritability of women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlesSness alternating with eX
IRENE irritability 3D.? Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,
backache, bearing down pains, nervous
dyspepsia, SleepleSSneSS, and almost
continually cross and snappy? If SO,
your nerves are in shattered con-
dition and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is mon umental that nothing
in the world Is better for nervous
troubles of women than Lydia +.

made from native roots and herbs.
Thousands and thousands of women
can testify to this fact.

to drive away the business depression
into which our city has alien?"
Being third candidate and taking
the field in the interests of greater
Sank Centre there seemed no neces-
sity for me to undertake the grinding
OF everybody elses axe in this cam
paign, but if the Aforesaid grin ding is
an absolute necessity for the sake of
peace and harmony to the community
then 1 am satisfied to assist in the
work.
During the past week many citizens
have come to me asking "What stand
are you going to take on the slot
machine question:"
At first was inclined to look with
humor on the question, and gave
everybody to understand that the
only platform on which l stood was
one advocating more factories, more
working men and the right of our
younger people to position in their
own city. In short, my stand in this
campaign is the same as | have taken
for the past nine months as president
of the Commercial Club, and on the
merits of that position am prepared
to stand or fall.
If the much mooted "slot machine
|, estion" is the real issue in this
campaign, then for the benefit of
those who wish to know my position,
will say that never having, looked
with favor on them, they need hardly
expect any favors from me.
To put it plain, if 1 am elected
Mayor of this city, the slot machines
mu st be turned to the wall even if 1
am compelled to do the turning.
Let no man delude himself into be-
lieving that this is grand stand
play for votes-I mean just what 1
say, no more, no less, any reports to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
During the past week the scandal
monger has been getting active, and
at the eleventh hour has thrown on
the political canvas picture of
"Hughes as Mayor" which would re-
tire to oblivion the work of Tammany
Halls most famous crooks. For the
benefit Of such individuals, will say,
for the cause OF the city's future
prosperity, am willing to make a
clean fight Fat the ballot box. My
character l can easily uphold in the
courts of law.

citizens of Sank Centre, let not your
minds be led away on questions that
are Of no benefit to you-conditions
