Mr.. John L. Brown writes as
follows: "There is move on
foot in Amite county to plant 81
900 acres of peanuts to take the
place of cotton. We want man
with brains who has the farmers In
terest at heart to advise us regard
ing the variety to plant, the prepa-
ration of the land, the cultivation
of the crop the average yield, and
the market value. Please investi-
gate this matter for US.
Mr.. Brown, have given my
views on the subject of diversified
ton many times. l believe. that
the sensible course for the average
farmer in Mississippi to pursue IS
to grow every thing necessary for
man and beast and some to spare
for those who live in his. nearby
towns, keep brood mares to raise
all the mule and horse colts need
ed on his farm, raise all the NUT
ton that he can dispose of to good
advantage, keep plenty of good
milk cows to supply his family
with milk and butter, raise plenty
of yellow legged chickens for home
use and to sell, raise plenty of
hogs for meat and lard, and: have
good gardens. When we have
made arrangements for every thing
necessary for home consumption
we are ready to plant cotton, the
surest, best paying, and the great
est money crop in the world.
Now, of course, Irealize the fact
there are many exceptions to this
rule, Many farmers can proftably
raise many good beef cattle for
sale and there is. always market
for good fat cattle at reasonable
prices. Many farmers can raise
good horses and mules for sale and
make money by SO doing. Many
farmers can make big money rais-
ling hogs for the market. Others
can make money selling dairy pro-
ducts. In some sections, Vegets-
bles may be grown and disposed of
to good advantage. However, my
rule still holds good.
/ I7take pleasure in stating few
facts concerning the growing Of
peanuts. The average yield of
peanuts is "a bushels per acre.
With proper methods a yield oil
| say 90, bushels may reasonably be
expected The average yield OF
Ihay is about three-tourths ton per
acre. It is generally conceded
that in order to make the manufac-
ture of oil profitable good peanuts
must be obtainhble at prices not
exceeding 40 cents per bushel-
Now the question is can you
dispose of the hay on the markel
to good advantage or can you feed
! lit to stock prohtably and make
money growing peanuts at 40 cents
per bushel.

no attention to the fact that their
children should be long to and at

parents rise late on Sabbath morn

of the past week, and in the natu.

Sunday School pass lightly; but as
of course little extra care and at
tention are required to make them
ready, all should stop and reason
in regard to the matter; theywould
realize that this is great mistake.
There are so many good reasons
why a child should attend Sunday

-ICiENT REMEDY.

If the truth were known, the probs-
bilities are that Peruns has relieved
as many cases Of cstarrh Of the stomach
as any other popular remedy in exis-
tence. We have great many unsolic-
tied testimonials from all parts of the
United States, declaring In strong and
enthusiastic terms that Peruna has en-
tirely relieved them Of catarrh Of tho
stomach, that they were wretched and
miserable beyond words, but Peruns
has restored them to health, vigor and
happiness.
These are the facts. Now, If You have
stomach difficulty, 1t is up to you to act
upon them or ignore them, as you
please.
Symptoms of Stomach Catarrh.
"The affection may result from errors
in diet, or the use of alcohol. The ex-
cessive use Of tobacco, especially when
the juice or the leaves are swallowed,
is likely to cause 1t.
| "Highly seasoned or coarse, irritating
foods, sometimes induce the disease.
GAS chronic gastritis (catarrh of the
stomach) is essentially secondary
affection, one of the primary causes is
an unhealthy state of the mouth, nose
or throat, such as bad teeth or catarrh
of the nose (ozena).
"The patients are usually poorly
nourished, pale, sallow, thin, fatigue
easily induced, muscles flabby. Loss
of appetite or capricious appetite.
"The tongue is usually coated brown
ish gray. Cankered mouth is q com.
mon occurrence.
SPAIN Is not common. When present
It is usually dull, and is aggravated by
food, especially when this is of an irri.
tating character.
"Vomiting may occur in the morning.
Also after meals. Sickness to the stom-
ach frequent and persistent.
flood produces dull headache, and a
feeling Of general nervous distress.
Constipation usually quite marked"
These symptoms, given by Gould and
Pyle, coincide exactly with the frequent
descriptions DR.. Hartman is receiving
from patients all over the United States.

fore each meal. See If your stomach
