MERIT IN oHrcoRY.

u. 8. Government Interested i'm the Use
of the Root.
II long ago was discovered that the
addition of a small proportion OF chic
ory to coffee gave the combination the
same taste and flavor as are found IN
the most expensive Arabian mixtures
selling UP to several dollars per pound.
This fact has been recognized for many
years in Europe, but only recently has
this fact been recognized by American
consumers. q
Now the Government is interested
and has conducted a searching inquiry
into the merit and uses Of chicory. Re
Gently in Bulletin 10. u. S. Department
of Agriculture, page IL. the Government
says;
with the exception of only one case
1t was found that a small quantity OF
chicory added to good coffee improved
the favor and reduced the peculiar ner-
vous effect Of the coffee. II is sup
posed in the single exception referred
TO. an inferior grade Of coffee was sold
for the high grade. In all these trials
purity of the chicory was undoubted.
IL having been sent by a prominent
chicory firm for analysis and expert
ment.
Analysis of both the raw and the
prepared product have so far failed to
reveal the presence OF any positively
harmful substance. Neither the Ma
tional nor the U. S. DispeHsatories con-
denim it's use. 'Chicory.' says the form
err. is thought to increase the appe-
title, promote the digestion and stimu-
late the liver
I'm France and Germany use is
made of chicory as an aperient for in
fants and young children, mothers pre-
ferring it to ordinary medicine on &C
count Of its being agreeable in flavor
and harmless in effect Since no evil
effects are apparent when a mixture OF
chicory and coffee follow the excessive
use of straight coffee. il appears that
the use of chicory in moderation Is not
fraught with greater evil than the use
Of coffee. ElN ~ beverage affects diff
ferent tempe: cents ia different ways
and 1t should y. left to the individual
himself to choose chicory.; coffee or
mixture. The very general use OF
chlcory for the last one hundred and
fifty years. and the proportions which
it's cultivation have assumed. indicates
that 1t is beneficial and agreeable to
at least some constitutions.

Editor The Advertiser:
AS the spinners, are running on short
time thus decreasing the consumption
OF raw cotton with the view of still
further depressing the price of cotton
In the hands Of farmers, II behooves all
cotton growers to meet them by re-
ducing cotton acreage this year. At
present prices of mules. provisions
etc. cotton cannot be grown for less
than 10 cents. If cotton growers
sorghum. peas and other feed crops to
supply their needs the price of the
next crop Of cotton would reach Is
cents and perhaps more.
At present prices there is more money
in growing corn than cotton One can
cultivate ten to fifteen acres more per
pillow in corn than in cotton. Little
hoeing is required in corn culture Many
cept in thinning to a stand. Let us
compare the results of two one-mule
farms. one in cotton and the other in
corn. The cotton farm. say of thirty
months at SIS per month. or $3.50 for
labor. Four and one half tons of GU
ano, $105; fifteen bales of cotton at
$50 per bale and seven tons of seed at
$l2 per ton. $S40; total receipts. 1894
less labor and guano, leaves 1870
To cultivate the corn will require
one pillow hand seven months. $l05; one
hoe hand one month and two hands
one each month to gather and market
the crop, $45. or $3.50 for labor; six
tons Of guano applied to corn during
cultivation. $40. The forty-1ve acres
should easily produce thirty bushels
per acre. or 1850 bushels. which at so
cents per bushel brings $1,000. Deduct
$3.50 for labor and guano. we have
$500 as profits on cord farm as against
1910 on cotton faFHIss This looks TOO
good to be true to The cotton mono
maniac. About thirty years ago two
farmers tried a two-mule farm each,
one OF them planting corn and the
other cotton exclusively. At that time
cotton sold for Is cents and corn so
cents a bushel. With this great dis
parity in prices as compared with pres
ent prices. the corn grower got a
greater profit out of his crop than did
the cotton farmer. I have grown three
tons of sorghum and peavine hay per
acre. sown after an oat crop. At $40
per ton that beats cotton. BY using
400 pounds of guano per acre one can
grow forty bushels cowpeas per acre.
They are worth 81 per busheL Let's
wake up. BY all means let's plant
something beside cotton.

Alfred B. KIttredge.

United States Senator Alfred B.
Kittredge of South Dakota. who ap-
pears to have hard fight on his hands
for reelection this year. was born in
Cheshire County, New Hampshire.
March 26, 1851. After graduating from
Yale University in 1882 he took three
years course at the Yale Law School.
Soon after he removed to South Da-
kota and began the practice OF his pro-
fession in Sioux Falls. He met with
success as a lawyer and s2on began to
take an active interest In the public
affairs of his adopted stare. In 1889 he
was elected a member of the state Sem
ate and continued to serve In that
body until 1898. In 1901 he was APP
pointed to the United states Senate to

Senator James H. Kyle. Two years

also pass a law to prevent its deliv-
cry to drunkards and minors and other
persons prohibited by the States from
receiving the same. there is no way
in which VIC can give the States the
right to break bona fide contract be-
tween the consignor in one State and
the consignee in another. which con-
tract the Supreme Court has said arises
