Sowing Grain and Grasses

If our people in the Cotton
Belt can be taught by precept or
example, if our farmers will con-
suit their own best interest ard
that of their soil, if we learn
wisdom by the experiences of
the past or ever be induced to
adopt the best methods for the
future then there will be more
wheat, oats, clover, vetches and
rape sown this fall, than ever
before IN the history of the South.
Not only this, but what is sown
will be put In under more favor
able conditions, as far as prepar-
alton and manuring goes. 1t is
now high time fo- each and every
farmer TO include grain and
grasses In his system of farming,
since no other can be made eth.
er so complete or so remunerative
The Farmers Union of Rockdale
County, Georgia, have set all
their brethren a fine example
along this line. They have
adopted a resolution binding
each Of their 900 members to
SOW one acre or more of wheat.
So we call upon each reader of
the Cultivator TO SOW from one
to a hundred acres in grain ac-
cOrding to their ability and the
extent OF their land holdings.
1t will be profitable TO you If
put IN right and certainly Dene
fetal to your soil. In sowing
either grain or grass, remember
to 90 three things, prepare the
land we'll, manure If, and then
sow at right time. Let your
cotton wait, it will not lose as
much by waiting, as you will
lose by neglect NJ To sow your
grain in sine. We DO not plead
for so large an area, as for small
acreage well put IN, never tail to
sow oats, 1T is undoubtedly the
best paying food crop we can
grow.
Wheat and rye make the best
feed, if you do not wish to SOW
wheat to make your own flour.
Wheat and vetch sown together
are fine, so are oats and vetch
where you do not care to thresh
the oats.

the Appler than any other va

How to prepare the land. j
find that it is not necessary to
break land very deep for oats, as
we have all the moisture during
the winter months that we need.
Yet it should be broken reason
ably deep. About seven or
eight inches, with a two. horse or
disc plow, is deep enough, turn
ing all vegetation under. If
there is much vegetation, and
the land breaks up in clods, it
should be run over with a cut
away harrow, otherwise a smooth
ing harrow will be sufficient.
The next thing is how to fer
tilize. Oats are heavy feeders
and should be fed we'll. Trying
to economic in the use of fertil.
izer is like trying to feed two
hogs on what one ought TO have
The result would re poor in
either case. Oats should not
only be literally fertilized, but
sheuld have immediate access to
a fertilizer, containing the three
essenta elements of plant food
In the correct proportion. A
good fsrtihzsr judiciously used,
is by far the q heapest labor in
the South. b so doing, we are
enabled to mor{ than double the
yield of most any crop at mere
trifle of expenditure, when COM
pared to the high price OF labor
of the present day. BY all
means do your own mixing as
none of the so.called complete
fertilizers on the market are ricn
enough in nitrogen and potash.
There would be just as much
sense In prescribing the same
medicine for every disease Of the
human race as there is in using
fertilizer made by the same
formula for every plant that
grows. Let your formula be
fixed suitably for the land you
are going to sow; that is if you
are going to sow land that will
yield one bale of cotton per acre,
mix 200 pounds 16 per cent acid

muriate of potash. Now as TO
how much to use, never think
of using less than 500 pounds
per acre. No doubt it would
pay we'll to use 200 pounds
per acre, as by liberal use of
fertilizer your oats would not
only make a better crop, but
would be enabled TO stand the
winter months better.

HOT ONIONS FOR PNEUMONIA.
Dread Disease Robbed Of It's ferrors
by Simple Remedy.

Owing to the prevalence OF pneu-
monia and the great mortality which
attends its ravages during the winter
and spring, several boards of health
In northern New Jersey have been TAX
ing measures to protect the citizens Of
their towns from the disease. The
health board of Washington, N. j., has
published remedy which is said to
be a sure cure for pneumonia, and
other health boards are looking into
the matter with view of having the
same thing published for the good OF
the general public. This is the pub
LEGATION as 1t has appeared In the pa
pers of Washington:
Take six or ten onions, according
to size, and chop fine, put In a large
spider over hot fire, then add the
same quantity Of rye meal and vine
gar enough to form thick paste. In
the meanwhile stir 1t thoroughly, let
ting 1t simmer FIVE or ten minutes.
Then put in a cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs and apply to chest
as hot as patient can bear. In about
ten minutes apply another, and thus
continue by relocating the poultices,
and in few hours the patient will be
out of danger. This simple remedy
has never failed to cure this too-often
fatal malady. Usually three or four
applications will be sufficient, but con-
tinue always until the perspiration
starts freely from the chest. This rem
edy was formulated many years ago
by one Of the best physicians New
England has ever known, who never
lost patient by the disease, and won
his renown by simple remedies"

Gift with String to Il.

Up to six months ago the French
village of sGannat had neither debt
nor history. Then one day 1t re-
ceived a bequest of $4,000. Now II
is about to issue its first loan, and
IL, has become one of the most talked
about towns in the republic.
Gannat was represented In the
chamber of deputies for a number
OF years by a crusty old bachelor,
M. Delarue. When M. Delarue died
the village council was delighted to
learn that the deputy had made the
town of his birth his sole heir. It
was some weeks later before II woke
up from its happy dream.
The testament of "Pere Delarue"
was hedged about with all sorts OF
onerous conditions. In the first
place, 1t provided that monument
should be erected to his memory.
There was a clause calling for the
construction OF a museum and a pub
lie library destined to shelter the
testator's works of art and numerous
books. Many of the books we're in
bad condition. The village was re-
quired to see that they were all
properly bound In spite of these
conditions matters were still bright
when the financial crisis struck the
money markets of the world. The
bequest of the village beneficiary
suddenly shrank to about one-half Of
its original value.
At the present writing the name Of
Delarue is the most unpopular in
Gannat. This unpopularity has been
increased by the fact that only half
of the village bonds by which the
corporation hoped to complete the
museum and the library have thus
far been subscribed.

Cummins was started again in an ef-
fort to make 1t appear that Allison
did not want Cummins. Only few OF
the papers of the state could be In
duced to print it.
The situation as 1t confronts the
progressives today is leading them
more and more toward the proposition
of calling special session of the leg
islature. The death of a candidate af-
ter the primary nomination and before
the general election in November is
something that will occur but once IN
many decades. 1t is believed that the
best method for guaranteeing to the
people the right of choice of candi-
dates is to amend the law so that the
nomination of candidate for United
States senator will be submitted at the
same time that the members OF the
legislature are elected. There is ample
opportunity for special session OF the
legislature to do this. In that way the
standpat candidates will be forced to
make their canvass for votes in the
open before the people instead of Sc
cretly among the nominees to the legis-
lature while protesting to favor no
campaign till after the election.

MONEY IS NEEDED
Treasurer George R. Sheldon of Ma.

Chicago. Aug 15.--In an interview

the republican national committee,
said one of the troubles encountered
by the men who are expected to find
money to conduct the national cam
palgn, was the ignorance of corpora
tion officials, and even the members
Of congress that a law had been passed
denying the right of corporations to
make contributions to the campaign
funds.
Because Of this ignorance Of the
law, Sheldon said, he had been COM
PEELED to return to senders a number
of checks that had been received, altho
the money was greatly needed. He de-
clares 1t is the purpose to publish ev-
cry individual contribution Immediate
ly after the election. which plan is in
accordance with the expressed wishes
of Taft as we'll as the republican lead
ers generally. He added that the de-
cision to publish the contributions
makes the task of collecting the funds
uphill work.

NEGROES PREPARE FOR WAR
Both Sides Are Armed and Soldiers
Seem Powerless.

Peoria, Aug. 15.-A Springfield spe-
cial says that Assistant County Treas
urer W. K. Bowe, was caught on the
street this morning by the infuriated
negroes, after which he was robbed or
several hundred dollars, and diamonds.
The negroes are swarming back into
the east end heavily armed, and a
worse reign of terror is expected to-
night. The officers of the militia are
powerless and the soldiers arms have
been taken away and appropriated to
the use of the mob.
The whites are coming in from near
by country towns to help in the race
war and thousands of men are now
swarming the streets.
The whole business portion Of the
city is demoralized and many of the
larger stores are closed to avoid trou-
BILE and the loss by fire. Citizens are
leaving and women and children are
departing on every train and interur-
ban car for places Of safety.
The blacks are just as determined as
the whites and there promises to be an
awful night unless the troops show
more power to restore order. The ne
groes removed from Bloomington last
night, bound for Peoria, have not been
located this morning. 1t is thought they
have been taken off at some small
town. Four are now dead, and many
whites are missing. 1t is known that
scores of negroes have been dragged
away, wounded or dying.
