SUIT YOUR SOIL.
BY Planting the Things Adapted You
viii Succeed

BY Planting the Things Adapted You
Will Succeed.
Most of us make the great mistake
of trying to grow what we want 70
grow on certain place, without Civ.
ing much thought to what it would
grow best AS matter of fact, all
soils will grow something; and we want
to find out what the soil used is best
suited to. The dry desert plains grow
the cactus. The valleys, mountains.
plains, deserts, boys, sands, clays, all
have plants peculiarly adapted to
each. The pond grows the water lily.
If we should try to grow this lily on
the hill out of the water, and the corn
in the pond, we would not meet with
nearly as bad as this.
If we give the subject some study,
we will find that it is not always the
most fertile lands that will give the
greatest profit. Peas, peanuts, sweet
potatoes, melons, peaches, plums, all
do best on poor or medium soils;
and as much, or more, can be made
by growing these on poor land than
by raising cotton and corn on rich
land. 1 have often seen fields of
corn planted on poor land that would
not yield five bushels per acre. Then
it took several workings to make that
much; while if the same land had
been planted in peas, it would have
made five or ten bushels, besides
twenty to thirty dollars worth OF
pea-vine hay, and with not over one or
two plowings. With the same work
and fertilizer that the corn received
one hundred bushels of sweet pota
toes per acre could have been made
1t takes good land to make corn and
the grain or grass crops. In fact,
think it is almost just matter OF
how much feed you give it as to how
| much corn can be made per acre. Mr.
McIver Williamson uses 500 to 1,OOC
pounds of fertilizer per acre and gets
IS to 125 bushels of corn per acre. II
takes good land and rich, rich land
for strawberries, and lots of hard
work. On the old red clay hills as
many quarts of dewberries per acre
may be grown and with very little
work, and dewberries bring nearly as
much as Strawberries.
Rich lands are a detriment tC
many things. For instance, peaches
on rich land will usually rot Melons
and potatoes will run to vine to the
| cost of fruit, and so on in many
things. There is not an acre or cor
ner on the place that is not suitable
to something; and what we want to
| do is to find out what is the most
suitable, what will grow there and
give the greatest returns for the least
labor and expense.-Paul Hoffman. in

FOR YOUR OWN ROOM.
Girls Can Make Pretty Sash Curtains
for the Windows.

With some firm straws and good
strong white string we will make a
sash curtain for the window of your
own room, as the little girl is doing
in the illustration. Loop about 80
strands on IL large lacks driven in
straight line across the top edge of
board. Make one row of knots, and
before forming the next row slide a
piece of straw one inch long on each
of the two strings which are to be
knotted together; the ends of the
string must be moistened and brought
together in point in order that they
may more easily be threaded through
the straw. The letter r in Fig. 2
shows the straw with the ends of the
string run through it, and U gives a
straw higher up on the strings. After
each straw is put into place. knot the
strings Immediately underneath to

Care of Farm Machinery.

Good reasoning tells us that there
are but two times during the year that
farm machinery needs any special
care. First, when it is in use; second,
when it is not in use.
One season without shelter will
damage farm machinery more than
the wear caused by it's use during the
season. The action of the weather
which will cause a rusting of the iron
and steel, as we'll as the rotting of the
wood parts, will seriously interfere
with the working of the machine when
it is again put in use. By this ex-
posture certain parts are very much
weakened and the machine becomes
of shorter life.
When the seasons work with a GER
tain machine has been finished, it
should be thoroughly cleaned and all
parts that are liable to rust should be
carefully wiped with oiled waste or
an oiled rag. 1t is good idea to coat
these parts with either tallow or a
good grade of axle grease.
After carefully putting away the
creased parts, the implement should
be stored in shed of some kind,
rather than be left in the open.

ing them in corks, as in the illustra
ton; one must be arranged to revolve
to the right, the other to the left, be-
cause the bowstring turns the upper
in one direction, while the reaction
tends to turn the lower one in the op-
posite way, and if both screws were
right-handed or left-handed they would
work against each other, and produce
little or no effect.
The upper screw is fastened to the
spindle, while the lower is attached
to the bow. The spindle turns in a
hole bored through the bow and into
the cork; it moves freely because 1t
simply rests in the hole, and is not
fastened to the lower screw. The bow.
string is tied to the spindle near the
top.
When finished, hold the lower screw
in one hand, and turn the upper with
the other until the string is all wound
ON the spindle. Now let go the upper
screw and toss it gently into the
air. when it will fly until the bow

Monotony of Home Life.

So many wives complain Of the mo-
notony Of marriage. They envy wom-
en- who write. paint or act, because
they imagine all these callings spell
infinite variety. But any life can be.

to be so. Wives who grumble at the
dreary sameness of home routine for
get that their husbands have to face
the same tiresome monotony at the
office. The only way to get out of the
"rut" for wife or bachelor maid alike
is to cultivate interests and hobbies
Marriage is monotonous only for those
who make it so.

Life Saved by cuticura.

II have been treated by doctors for
twenty-five years for a bad case of
eczema on my leg. They did their best,

After the first two treatments the
swelling went down, and in two
months my leg was cured and the new

General Demand

Of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.
