FARMER WHO ROBS HIMSELF
Diversified Farming and Rotation of Crops Improves Instead of De-
 stroyine Productiveness.

The farmer who makes a practise of raising grain exclusively, hauling it to the elevator and selling it, is robbing himself, or, in other words, depicting the fertility of the farm, say the American Swineherd.
 Every year as the crop is gathered and sold of the place 1t is left with decreased productive power for the future. It Is like mining or digging out the value of the soil and shipping to the market. It is selling your farm virtually through the elevator
 It may take several years before you get to the bottom, but 1t is a ruinous policy and one that must either now or later be checked, or we will have repeated the same condi- tions that more than a thousand years ago took place in Rome, where the soil was so exhausted that one bushel of seed wheat could only pro- duce four bushels In return. While they were great warriors, orators, statesmen and scientists, they neglect ad agriculture, the real basis of pros oerity, and their nation went to the dogs.
 Selling the corn by the hog route or through any other live stock fig re- taining the fertility. By a proper system of diversified farming and TO- tation of crops you can build up and improve instead of destroying the productiveness.

FoaI Shows.

Enterprising owners of stallions who have established foal shows where the produce of their horses meet in competition have been sur prised at the interest taken in them In some localities foal shows, open to the get of all stallions, are held as the result of the boost given at the start by some wide-awake stall lion owner Competition in such cases Is quite keen, and it is not un- common to see a score of foals lined up for inspection. One of the best features is the fact that good wean- lings thus shown find ready buyers In eastern Ohio the second-prize draft colt in one show was sold for $150 and the general average is $75 to $100 for well-bred draft weanlings in that locality. It will pay stallion own CTS to consider the foal show as a means of demonstrating the value of their horses and encouraging the pro- duction of good colts as well as find ing a market for them.

BABY'S SCALP CRUSHED

Our little daughter, when three months old, began to break out on the head and we had the best doctors to treat her, but they did not do her any good. They said she had eczema. Her scalp was solid scale all over. The burning and itching was so severe that she could not rest, day or night. We had about given up all hopes when we read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and one bot tie of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol- lowed directions carefully. After the first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent, we used the Cuticura Soap freely and applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then she began to improve rapidly and in two weeks the scale came off her head and new hair began to grow. In a very short time she was well. She is now sixteen years of age and a pie ture of health. We used the Cuti- cura Remedies about five weeks, reg ularly, and then we could not tell she had been affected by the disease. We used no other treatment after we found out what the Cuticura Remedies would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M. Fish, Mt. Vernon, Ky, Oct. 12, 1909"

SIMPLY A WASTE OF MONEY
Old Sexton Had His Time Mapped Out, and There Was No Need
 of Clock.

There had been some talk Of placing a clock in the tower of the village church. But John, the old sexton, who lived in the little cot tage opposite the church, declared himself dead agin it." and expressed the opinion that-it would mean ''an awful waste O brass" were the scheme carried out.
 We want no clocks" he said the other day. We've done without clocks up to now, an we shall man. age. Why, lyin f my bed of morn in I can see the time by the sundial over the porch.
 Yes replied one who approved of the scheme, that's all right so far as it goes. But the sun doesn't shine every morning. What do you do then?'
 Why" answered John, surprisedly, T knows then as it ain't fit weather to be out O bed an l just stops where I is. s.'-Tt-Bits.

GOOD METHODS IN FARMING
Gradually Farmers Are Being Taught to Abandon Old-Fashioned Ideas
 and Take Up Modern.

The farmers capital being the soil or that portion of his Hand" that is used for the production of crops, 1t Is most important to the producer that he should understand thoroughly and determinately what are the constitu- ent parts composing this soil, so that he can in his farming know just how and why such matters should be add ed or taken from his particular soil
 In the past, no attention has been given to this, but the farmers con- tinued from year to year to cultivate the same soil in the same old way without considering the probability of the exhaustion of the fertility of the soil that had been placed in it when it was in a state of nature. It has been hard work to arouse the pro- ducers of farm products and induce them to study new methods and adopt such as have been proven the best by men who, having segregated the facts from the experience of practical and thoughtful men, stand ready to furnish the information that will re- store in way all the necessary quail ties to the soil that will make it just as good as new
 WhiIe the efforts of the United States department of agriculture to arouse the farmers to a realization of the great importance of following the instructions that will produce the best results has been nearly a thankless job in the past, still here and there some have grasped the idea and have applied such principles as were neces- sary to their own condition with sue cess. Gradually through constant les- sons and constant lectures, there has grown up a disposition among more and more of the farmers to follow the new teachings and to abandon the old and futile methods that had been handed down to them from the fa- thers.
 Among the causes for this change may be mentioned the organization of the Farmers union, the Farmers con- gross, the Cotton Growers association and kindred associations for the bet ter protection and education of their class along better lines. These organ izations have through their methods educated their membership slowly 1t may be true, but surely, until today there is a general awakening along the line, and the future Is bright with hope for the rejuvenation of all the farmers in the south at least.

A Garden Friends,

One of the prettiest corners of a certain girls garden is that in which every plant has been the gift of some special friend. The sweet old fashioned flowers that bloom there have thus a double significance, and their owner persuades herself that while they she is not forgotten. A fragrant clump of pinks was set in place by her dear est school friend, and now that this friend is living abroad, she likes to think that every breath of perfume brings her a kindly thought ol her old chum. A garden of friendship is a pretty fancy and one that gives last ing pleasure.

You get nothing for nothing.
 All that glitters is not necessarily brass.
 Our salvation is not in sacrifice, but in production.
 People are happier for a lot of things they don't know.
 A good investment is frequently the one fellow doesn't make.
 The trouble with most of us is that we are critical rather than construc- tive.
 Some people always act as if they thought they could tiptoe their way into heaven.
 It would take more than an alarm clock to make some people rise to the occasion.
 There's hardly anybody who doesn't put on airs about an important person he has a lowing acquaintance with. The men who always boast of voting the ticket straight are largely ra3pon- sible for the crookedness in politics.
 The cistern into which nothing goes is soon pumped dry. The life into which no good is put never yields any good.
 The reason some people don't talk more than they do is that they can't think of anything else to say about | themselves.
 There is work that is work, and play that is play; there is play that Is work and there is work that is play-and in only one of these lies happiness.
 Do you do by your neighbors as you would like to have them do by you? If not, why not? Is it not the only honorable course for anyone to pursue?

NEWSPAPERS TAKING IT UP
Metropolitan DaiIies Giving Advice How to Check Rheumatism and
 Kidney Trouble.

This is a simple home recipe now being made known in all the larger cities through the newspapers. It is intended to check the many cases of Rheumatism and dread kidney trouble which have made so many cripples, invalids and weddings of some of our brightest and strongest people.
 The druggists everywhere, even in the smallest communities, have been notified to supply themselves with the ingredients, and the sufferer will have no trouble to obtain them. The pre- scription is as follows: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce. and Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in bottle. The dose is one teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime.
 Recent experiments in hospital cases prove this simple mixture ef- fective in Rheumatism. Because of its positive action upon the elimina- tive tissues of the kidneys, 1t compels these most vital organs to filter from the blood and system the waste im- purities and uric acid which are the cause of rheumatism. It cleanses the kidneys, strengthens them and re- moves quickly such symptoms as backache, blood disorders, bladder weakness, frequent urination, painful scalding and discolored urine. It acts as a gentle, thorough regulator to the entire kidney structure.
 Those who suffer and are accus- toned to purchase bottle of med1- cine should not let a little fncon- venience interfere with making this up. CT have your druggist do it for you

MUCH CORN IN MISSISSIPPI
State Will Make Largest Crop This Year in History-One Hundred
 Bushels to Acre.

The Mississippi agent of the bureau of statistics makes the following com ment in regard to the corn crop of that state:
 Mississippi will this year make the largest corn crop in the history of the state-or within my knowledge at least. The crop Is made and largely gathered and the yield will be large. In many sections on small acreages more than one hundred measured bushels per acre have been gathered. For the first time considerable corn will be shipped from the county in which it was made. Recently parties went before the railroad commission in this state and asked for and re- ceived rates on corn to elevators, etc. Heretofore there was so little corn made for shipping that the rates were never asked for.

To Insure Crop Failure.

The best way to insure crop failure is grow grain year after year; let the farm get weedy; let the weeds pump out moisture both when crop is grow ing and after it is cut; blow shallow, and not to harrow right after plow- ing and if it is fall blowing not to harrow early in spring. To make it still more effective do not apply any manure or blow under any green crops or rotate the crops.
