Additional Letters
From the People
WHAT THE RECENT PRIMARY
PROVED.

ERtOt ED.
Dear Sir: The recent preSiden-
tial primary in Georgia proved con-
clusively that the people of this
State consider that the War for
Southern Independence is over, that
We are now back in the house Of our
fathers, and that we are not ashamed
to place before the American peo-
pie a Southern man for the Presi
dency.
This primary also proved another
thing, and that you are stronger in
Georgia politics than ever before,
by their ballots Of May LIST, they
proved that they not only consider
the war of 1851 to '65 over, but
that they also consider the political
war Of the eos over as we'll.
The various country weekies
which have been attracting you for
the last twenty years or more, have
ceased their attacks, just as it took
Hill many years TO get these little
dogs to quit barking at him, they
have now learned that you were
sincere, that you was right in your
breaking off from the Undemocratic
Democrat party and allying yourself
with the Democratic Populist party,
were to offer for Office in the State
Of Georgia., that you would have no
opposition to amount to any thing
among the weekly press.
During your one term in Congress
you proved what you could do and
what you would do for the People,
SO now as those misunderstanding
are being thrust aside, it is my oDin-
ion that you owe it to the people not
only Of this State, but to the entire
Nation, to make the race for the
Senate, there you would be in posi-
ton to do great good, and when I
say it, I say it not with any desire
to reflect upon your deatbly fights
as a private citizen, but you can do
more good in the Senate than you
can as q private citizen.
Mr.. Watson, you are a man of
Southern birth, you are a Georgian,
but foremost you are an American
citizen, and you owe it to them to
make the race for the Senate, you
can do us greater good than any
other Georgian, and Southerner or
any American, SO re3lising IS I do,
and as I hope you do that it is very
necessary to the welfare OF our Na-
ton, that you serve the State Of
Georgia in the Senate, 1 know that
you will not desert us, we need you
in the Senate, you can be elected
with ease, you can do us great good,
Will you do it?
If SO, you will have lined up be-
hind you in this State the strongest
personal following ever known to
this State, you will have lined up
b@f you many thousands who
would not have supported you as
a Populist, yeu viii have lined up
behind you q majority Of the
Weekly press, and last, but not least
you will have lined up behind you
several of our daily papers, Clark
Howell being one OF the editors Of
whom [ am quite sure would gladly
support you for the Senate.
For the sake of those old men
who supported you SO patiently dur
ing the days Of Populism, for the
sake of the younger men who have
grown up since that time, and for
the sake of the American people as
a whole, will you make the race?
Your friend
WILL, Fl STA NFORD

Dear Sir: Through an admirer Of
yourself and your work, my good
friend, Charles J. Anderson, OF
Plankinton, S. D., have been receiy-

several years. Just recently he ad-
vised NE that he had had my name
placed on your subscription list and
I wish to tell you how much l am in
sympathy with your work.
Herewith I enclose clipping from

Catholic paper published in Minnea-

and we have another, a candidate for

HEALING ART IN NINEvEH
Medicines and Other Cures Employed
There $50 Years Before the
Christian Era.

The patient work of the archaeolo-
gist enabled people in 1911 to form a
very fair idea of medical science as it
existed in Nineveh $50 years before
the birth of Christ. OF the 10000 tab
lets taken from the library Of Assur-
banipal, the great King of Assyria,
who conquered Egypt and Babylonia
and established his subjects in the de-
serted cities Of Samaria, hundreds
deal exclusively with medicine and
contain numerous prescriptions:
IF man has collie make him stand
lup and pour over him decoction Of
hypericum and he will recover.
Cor make him crouch down on his
heels and pour cold water over his
head
Faith healing seems to be indicated
in a prescription which runs IF he is
in weak state, make him bend down,
then raise his legs, and say: May
you get quite WE'LL Strike him also
on the head fourteen times with your
thumb"
Many prescriptions deal with the
cure of a disorder which was very
common at Nineveh, and which seems
to have been due to overindulgence in
food and drink when a man is bill
ious rub him with an onion, and let
him drink nothing but water and alb.
stain from food altogether"
Among the medicines used by the
physicians of Nineveh were sesame
olive oil, castor oil, syrup Of dates
honey and salt Fasting and massage
were frequently ordered.

MATURING FOR
GOOD POTATOES


DR.. J. Fisher of Fftchburg, Mass, Is
very successful in growing large crops
of potatoes, and he varies from our
familiar methods principally in his fer
tilizer formula, the preparation and
planting Of the seed. Following Is the
formula:
Two hundred and twenty-five pounds
Of sulphate ammonia; $50 pounds nj
trate of soda; $50 pounds South Caro-
lima floats; $50 pounds acid phos-
phate; $50 pounds sulphate of potash;
$50 pounds sulphate magnesia; zoo
pounds airsslacked lime; 2,375 pounds
costing about $40.
Two-thirds of this formula will be
spread broadcast and will be narrowed
in before planting The seed potatoes
are treated with the corrosive subli-
mate solution to prevent scab, then
spread in greenhouse and allowed to
sprout several weeks. At planting time
the seed is cut and only one sprout
left on each piece, the surplus sprouts
being purposely broken of. DR.. Fish
er considers potatoe the size OF q
marble, which has been started In this
way and all but the best sprout
rubbed of, as very good seed.
Furrowing out is done with horse
hoe and the seed is planted under a
line, giving perfectly straight rows
and exact distance between plants.
Each seed piece Is set upright ana
covered with about two inches OF
earth; the remaining third Of the Ter
tilizer Is now scattered In the drlll
and covered by running the horse noe
between the rows. The horse weeder
and cultivator are used SO frequently
and thoroughly as to avoid hand noe
ing.

Lanseed meal in small quantities

Last winter we saw bunch of 85
steers being fed on farm near
Aurora, Ill. These cattle stood in 4
large lot on the side Of hill in mud
up to their knees. The barn and all
It's surroundings were as filthy as
could be imagined, and we were not
surprised when the owner, looking
gloomily over his cattle, remarked: Il
never seemed to hit of steer feeding
to any great, advantage"
Heavily timbered land does not
make good feeding ground for cattle
because the sun cannot dry out the
ground as quickly as an open lot.

east and west and entirely open on
the south.
Or course a paved feed lot is an
expensive proposition at the start. but
we believe that on reasonable cost
the profit will more than justify the
expense. Even If a man cannot afford
to pave his feed lot he can drain it
with thing and by the addition of
gravel, and small, smooth stones i'm
prove its condition at very small cost.
Oats make an ideal feed for the
lamb during the winter, but he needs
about only pound day to keep in
hne condition. In addition he must
have clover hay or alfalfa or corn fod-
der and turnips and other roots at
least three times week.
A very handy wheelbarrow for the
feed lot can be made Of either wood
Or iron. The frame should be very
strong, but not heavy. Iron makes a
strong frame and very light. 1t can
be made in four sections and bolted
together. The iron hoop should be
made Of one-eighth inch iron and Is
Of size to admit common -four
barrel UP to the second row of hoops
The barrel can easily be put In and
taken out. The wheel should be made
Of wood with a very broad tire, not
less than three inches, and four inches
would be better. If the frame is made
Of iron, the handles can be made OF
wood and bolted on. Wood is better
for this purpose.
Do you know that some Of the
smaller packing houses which cater
| to first class trade at home and
abroad will not buy swill-fed hogs al
any cost? They want animals that are
led on clean corn, roughage, roots and
water.
We do not think much Of the skim
milk that comes from the creameries
FOR feeding hogs. In many Of these
creameries, washing powders are used
for cleaning the machinery, and this
Is very injurious to hogs.
Skim milk that is separated on the
