Returning camp next morning l found some
more good news as Louis had located a bear on top

being far away did not hit him. This was
what we wanted-a bear chase with the dogs.

HE has been a great tea drinker

Tea has, of late years, acted on
him like morphine does upon most

he would go to his work in the morn

quit tea and use Postum.
AT first he used Postum only for
breakfast, but as he liked the taste OF

good, he added it to his evening meal.
Then, as he grew better, he began to

His condition is so wonderfully i'm

He owes all this to Postum, for he

A Friend to the Farmers.

The Advertiser has always been in
hearty sympathy with the work of the
Farmers Union. Would that there
were large and more active organi-
zation of farmers in this county. some
counties are yet maintaining their Or
ganizations. Why can not Edgefeld
do likewise? President w. R. Parks
and the other members of the union
can rely upon the fullest cooperation
from this newspaper, which is devoted
first, last and all the time, to the de-
velopment of the agricultural interests
of the county. Upon the farmers de-
pend every other interest. When they
prosper other lines of business likewise
prosper, and, per contra, when they
suffer adversity every other business is
affected in the same proportion.

Soil Murder.

Almost daily, and sometimes
many times daily, l see would-be
farmers burning corn stalks and
grass on fields before plowing. This
is soil murder in the first degree,
and is always punished with death
of the productive powers Of the soil.
The insects that harm crops are
long since safely secreted in the
soils and burning trash does not
harm them, and robs the soil of
humus, and absolute necessity in a
productive soil. l intend to plow
in one crop per year, and try to
raise two or three crops each twelve
months on the same land.-Progres-
sive Farmer.
