The authorities uncovered fifty or
more Of these "clubs" in Chicago

that each had its own pictures. Hart

What appears to the authorities as

great number of swindlers preying

Crops After Grain.

Cowpeas have long been regarded
by progressive farmers as one Of the
best crops to plant after wheat and
oats are harvested. Nowadays the
price of eowpea seed is so high It Is
almost impossible for some planters
TO bring themselves up to the notion
OF buying them. However, It may be
well to add right here in the begin
ming that they are worth twice the
prevailing market price now to any
farmer to plant. Whether the peas
are ever picked, or the vines cut for
hay Il does not matter. There is no
way to lose with the crop and the
lands OF the South need vegetable
matter worse than anything else.
The cowpea supplies both vegetable
matter and nitrogen to the soil.
These two elements are the most
costly and most essential in farming

AMAZING MEDICAL /.
TEST BY EDITOR BOX.
oI5ooo Prescriptions Written by
Eminent Philadelphia Doctors ~
Per Cent. Called For Proprietary
Medleines.n

Edward Box, editor of the Ladies'
home Journal, which was first in the
field in attacks on patent" medi-
cines, and who paid one manufacture
err more than $4,000 damages and
costs for false statements concerning
a well-known remedy, recently ap-
peared before the Philadelphia
branch of the American Pharmaceu-
teal Association. In a discussion
Mr.. Box stated that, on a basis of
5000 prescriptions examined. many
Of them written by eminent doctors,
forty-seven per cent. called for pro
prietary medicines Of unknown COM
position" This is pretty conclusive
evidence that practically one-half Of
the prescriptions written by eminent
physicians in Mr. Bok's own town
are for patent" medicines, which
could just as we'll have been pur-
chased by the user without paying
from 81 to SO for a Latin prescrip-
ton for them, but which are pre-
scribed for Che reason that they are
the best remedies known to medical
science. Mr.. Box did not state how
many of the ffty-three per cent. that
we're not for patent" medicines
called for such drugs as quinine and
EPSON salts.

A Good Pasture.

The Southern farmers are further
behind in this feature than in any
other; that is the average pasture is
further from where It should be-
and, with proper work, could be-
than any other feature of our farm
operations. Il has been our custom
20 fence in so much ground and let
whatever native grass and weeds come
that would Three things now call
for more attention TO our pastures:
/. The increased value Of our land;
Q, the increased demand for live
stock. and 3, the great difference be-
tween a good pasture and poor one
1t is very difficult for our farmers to
realize the vast superiority Of a pas
ture set In Bermuda grass with clo-
yer, orchard grass, vetch or blue
grass, or possibly all four, over one
left to crab grass, sedge and Lespe-
deza. We went out to see three good
pastures last week. On April 8 we
went over to the north side of Atlanta
TO visit the farm Of D. Nichols & Sons
They have 140 acres out near Peach
tree road and on Peachtree Creek.
Here they have about seyenty-five
acres OF bottom land that is the finest
pasture we have ever seen. It is well
set in Bermuda, white clover and blue
grass. The clover was six inches high
on April in many places. Some
sixty head Of cattle and horses had
made living on it since March J.,
with no other feed, and all were get
ting fat Mr.. Charles Nichols has
this farm in charge, and It is a very
unique Georgia farm, for on the $40
acres he does not have but one man;
runs no plows, keeps one team to
haul. He has some thirty or forty
head of Berkshires and some sixty
head of cattle. This man attends to
all. He hauls slop from the city for
the hogs. The cattle feed themselves
nine months in the year and he gives
them some feed in winter and houses
them. This land cost over 500 per
acre. Yet Mr. Nichols makes a good
per cent. on his investment. He buys
all the springers he can get and sells
mixers. We were CHARMED with his
place, And YOU sholld get some bot
tom land in Bermuda, blue grass and
clover to appreciate what Mr.. Nichols
has in pasture. --''--s
The othsr two pastures were up Sc
Douglas County and owned by Mr..
Selman and Mr.. Collins. They, too,
had Bermuda supplemented by yetch,
blue grass and arctic grass in one
case, with orchard grass in the other.
In so IAany instances our farmers act
uslly oppose everything new or differ
ent from their old routine. Many
will not sow alfalfa until they find
out II 1t is hard to kill. We do not
know of but one nuisance and this Is
the nut grass; any other farm grass
can be used to advantage as hay or
for grazing. We hope to see more Of
our farmers begin TO pay attention to
their pastures This work can be
done in the fall and winter when they
have ample time. It can be done
when cultivated lands are too wet to
work. The South would be millions
OF dollars better Off II our farmers
would spend the days improving
their pastures that they employ in
blowing their fields when the soil Is
too wet-G. +. Hunnicutt, In the
