Reduced to its simplest expression,
the sea water cure which M Quinton
has deduced from his analytical re-

which is nothing but perfectly pure
sea water, sterilized and diluted in a
fixed proportion. Every malady is a

from this modification of it's natural

purifies this polluted medium just as

Easy Money in Sheen.

There is no other class of stock
that will produce a greater dividend
for the amount invested, if properly
cared for. They require no special
care except through winter and
spring. We breed our ewes to bring
lambs in February and March They
should be kept away from other STOCK
at this time until lambs are old enough
to avoid being run over and trampled
on. It's very necessary to have shell
ter during winter and especially dur
the the lambing period, when they
should be inclosed every night Our
sheep barn is situated at the intersec-
ton of three fields and is divided into
three parts, which makes it much cas-
ier to care for and save the young
lambs.
Last fall invested s175 in 33 ewes
and buck. We have sold from this
flock 32S and have the original flock
left, which are worth over 81 PEI
head more than they were year ago.
We saved 45 out of 46 lambs and
started them nicely on rye pasture
before they were turned on grass. On
date of delivery, July 5, they weighed
almost 100 pounds each and brought
$6.75 per 100 pounds. This, with the
wool, makes it quite easy.-J. W.

Market gardeners are now giving
as much attention to cultivating on

though the volume of production
shows reasonable growth, the market

The onion is voraeious feeder,
and thrives best on rich soil; much
lands composed largely of humus are
admirably adapted to the crop. The
land needs to be well underdrained
and protected from overflow, as wa,
ter standing on the crop for any length
of time will destroy the bulbs.
Commercial fertilizers are used, and
these fertilizers should be rich in pot
ash to insure a good bottoming of the
crop. Not all muck lands are natural
ly adapted to onion culture, but can
easily be made adaptable to the crop
Success in onion culture demands
industry and vigilance.
The white and yellow onion require
five pounds of seed sown to the acre,
in rows fourteen inches apart, to in
sure good stand
The large white globe variety re-

In raising onions the fashion of the
market should be considered. In the
East the small white and yellow on

West the large white, and in the
South, the red onion. The fiat bulbs

land for something else part of the

rich Illinois prairies aim to do some
things else now than raise corn. The
| Mississippi Delta has been said to
have soil that is SO fertile that it
would never wear out. but like the
Northern corn growers and the Gulf
coast rice growers, the Delta planters
have found that under the one-crop

BRAIN POWER
Increased by Proper Feeding.

A lady writer who not only has done
good literary work, but reared
family, found in Grape-Nuts the ideal
food for brain work and to develop
healthy children. She writes:-
II am an enthusiastic proclaimer of
Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. I for
merly had no appetite in the morning
and for years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment
for them.
unable to eat breakfast I felt faint
later, and would go to the pantry and
eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, dough-
nuts or anything 1 happened to find.
Being a writer, at times my head felt
heavy and my brain asleep.
when / read of Grape-Nuts began
eating it every morning, also gave it
to the children, including, my 10
months old baby, who soon grew as
fat as a little pig, good natured and
contented.
within week I had plenty of
breast milk, and felt stronger within,
two weeks. I wrote evenings and
feeling the need of sustained brain
power, began eating a small saucer OF
Grape-Nuts with milk instead of my
usual indigestible hot pudding, pie, or
cake for dessert at night.
"Grape-Nuts did wonders for me
and 1 learned to like it. did not mind
my homework or mothers cares, for

Save all the Manure Possible.

Keep the stable lot we'll Uttered
with leaves and straw for the stock )
sake and for the lands sake, is the
advice given by the Southern Farm
Gazette. A load of manure in the sta
Bile is worth more to the farmer than
a sack of fertilizer at the factory.
There is a great deal more in stable
manure than mere plant food 1t con-
tains myriads of bacteria that in some
way unknown to the average farmer
break down and liberate plant food in
the soil, which make it of far more
value than commercial fertilizer con-
tanning an equal amount of plant food.
Save all the manure possible. If it
does not lessen the fertilizer bill it
will increase the crop production.
On days when neither blowing nor
other work can be done. if they are
convenient to the field. it will pay to
haul rotted leaves and throw directly
on the land. The fertilizing value will
justify the hauling, and the organic
matter added to the soil will also ba
helpful.

PREPARATION FOR COTTON
Flowing and Fertilization Will Be
Found Advantageous Just Now.
OF AMERICA

Fo01u Advantageous just NOW.
The average cotton planter has but
little conception of the necessity of
thoroughly preparing cotton land.
Most of them regard blowing as sim
ply a necessity only when the land
is oyerrun with grass or weeds. How
ever, many are getting out of the idea,
and realize that blowing at other
times is prime object in securing
good crops, and in this connection
they are particularly realizing that
fertilization or feeding to the plant
certain plant food at the. time of plow-
ing, is also very important item nee
essary to the successful out-turn of
crop; especially at this season of
the year, when there is little else to
do, blowing can be carried on to great
advantage, and it will lessen the
amount of work necessary later in
the farm.
There are certain rules which must
be observed on the farm in blowing
at this season. There is a possibility
that the new soil will be too wet and
should not be turned up and allowed
to sun-dry. This permits the plant
food to escape, and more than this,
It practically deadens the soil so ex-
posed in its wet state.
Narrowing the soil is practically I'm
heard of in cotton farming, and yet
there are tens of thousands of acres
of corn and other grain land in the
great grain belt that is always thor
oughly narrowed before the crop is
planted. Farmers who will harrow
a ssnall piece Of cotton land will find
the experiment very profitable. The
idea to be carried out under the pres
ept conditions is to accomplish as
much as possible with the least ex-
Penditure of labor. To do this it is
necessary to have a half dozen things,
but early blowing is one OF the most
essential-thorough cultivation, a good
season, and above all, high fertiliza-
ton and proper handling of the crop
Will work wonders. Try the plan Of
special preparation on a few acres.
LOOK out for the difference in prof
ats and see if it will not justify fewer
acres.-J. c. McAuliffe, in Farm and

Satisfactory That is really the only
sure way of playing the game The
Spectators have all along tried to
frighten the farmers with two bug
bears; first, that the mills had sup
plies to last for two years; second, the
mills would close down. Well, an
idle mill is a dead loss to the owner,
it can not he turned to anything else;
whereas the farmer can change his
cotton factory to a corn, oats, wheat,
cabbage and potato factory, and still
manage to get returns for his invest
ment and and his labor. Hence, if the
farmer will but intelligently regulate
his prices by the law of supply and
demand, there can be no reason, out
side of his own lack of cohesiveness
why he should not win the day Nat
u<ally, the spinners try to get cotton
as cheap as possible and no one

JOINT OWNERSHIP OF MILLS.
Why Not Build and Operate Them at
Homec

Home.
In every cotton growing county in
the South there should be developed a
strong sentiment in favor of building
and operating local cotton mills.
There should be encouraged joint
ownership of the stock in these mills
by the local people in each county,
Including farmers, merchants, bankers
and other avocations. Farmers should
subscribe to the stock of these mills
on the basis of $40 per pillow operated
on the farm. These mills should be
built to spin cotton into yarns and a,
minimum amount of capital first en-
ployed necessary to their safe and
developed the capacity could be grad
ually extended to the maximum CAPT
tai to be employed II such move
ment were started and made general,
within the next ten years the question
of manufacturing the cotton crop in
the South and by the people of the
South would be solved. Under such
conditions the cotton growers would
occupy the enviable position of both
producers and spinners. If they did
not make full profits out Of the raw
product they would receive the differ
ence in their dividends annually com.
ing in from the factory in which they
held stock. Why should not these
things come to pass? Why have they
not already been put into practical
operation more extensively? We know
that hundreds of farmers in Georgia
do own stock in numerous cotton mills
in the State and are receiving splen-
did dividends on the investment of
their money in stock.
1t was a few years ago, thought to
be absurd for a farmer to own stock
or be identified with bank, yet
| thousands of our farmers today own
stock in their local banks and hun
dreds of them hold high positions in
banks as directors or Presidents of

sleeping on rights while the wide.
awake foreigner is getting the richest
part of our treasure. We hold the key
in our hands which will unlock the
doors of wealth greater than was ever

it.
