Hints for the Orchard
- II and Farm - -
Raising BIaclxberries


lackberries need plenty of moisture
and it will not pay to plant them on
the top of some dry knoll; for the fruit
will not grow to perfection in such dry
places, it will be hard and sour. Choose
a place where the ground is of good
quality, and where there is plenty of
moisture. Prepare the ground thor
Oughly by blowing and narrowing be-
fore planting, and make the ground
mellow down quite deep where YOU set
the plants. You cannot be too par
ticular in this respect-remember you
are setting them out for profit and
not simply to see whether they will
grow or not. / think they should be
set about four feet apart one way, and
eight feet the other way. Keep the
ground loose by constant cultivation,
and the sooner YOU can get good
large bush. the sooner YOU will get
fruit, and keeping the ground loose
will help to keep it moist.
When the bushes get quite well
started (say three years after they
have been set, it will be some trouble
to remove the old brush this ! do in
the following manner: l take a hooked
knife, with a handle attached which is
about five feet long. The knife is made
from a piece of old file welded to a
hoe shank in such a way that the knife
stands at right angles with the handle.
With this kind of a tool | cut the brush
out of an acre in eleven hours, and as
cut them | pull them out of the row
with the knife. so | can gather them
easily. | next hitch a horse to the side
of one-half of a tWo-horse harrow,
and drive over the brush with the
horse and harrow, which draws them
together into piles, and if in a dry
time, the harrow Will break the brush
so there will not seem to be more than
one half as many of them after being
narrowed as before.-Fruit Grower.

lie ThriNeS ON RananaS

CINCINNATl-John Breen, a Gin
cinnati freight handler, made a wae-
er with a Cincinnati saloonkeeper a
month ago that he could eat one doz-
en- bananas each day for 80 days and
top off the feat by eating five dozen
raw oysters. He successfully finished
the task tonight. and announced that
he would begin in few days TO see
how quickly he could eat another 80
dozen bananas.
81 work hard all day, and like to
eat said Breen. The bananas are
my dessert. ! am just a natural
hearty eater. The feat has had no
i'll effects on me. and l have gained
II pounds in the 80 days"
Breen weighs 100 pounds and is
feet . inches tall. Besides eating
the bananas he undertook to drink
at least five glasses of beer each night
and several large portions of whiskey.
He did it ALL and got $40, the amount
of the wager.

Cost of Raising Potatoes

a recent number of the u. s. Crop
Reporter contains statistics on the
cost of producing potatoes. The data
are for the year 1909 and We're esti-
mated from reports by 1000 CORES
pondents of the bureau of statistics
They include amounts that have been
expended or the value of labor, in
the grand divisions of the country
with averages for the United States,
on fertilizers, preparation of land,
seed, planting, cultivating, gathering
yields per acre, cost per bushel. value
of product, and other factors of
greater or less economic significance
Some of these data are of consider
able value in view of the present
agitation regarding the farmers
prices and the high cost of living.
The average yield in bushels per
acre for the whole country was IFS,
ranging from 1874 in the South Cen
trail states to 1877 in the far western
states and North Atlantic states re-
spectively. Unfortunately for scien-
tific purposes there seems to be no
relation between yield and cost of
production. The average cost, in
Guiding the rental value of the land,
was 24.6 cents bushel: but the
highest cost of production, 304
cents, occurred in the South Central
states, where the yield was lowest.
and the lowest cost of production.

trail states east of the Mississippi
river, where the yield averaged l15
bushels an acre--coming very near
to the average of 11S bushels for
the United States. ON the other
hand. the value of potatoes a bushel,
ranged from 46 cents in the North
Central states east of the Mississippi
river to II cents in the South Cen
trail states, with an average for the
country of SO cents.--HortiCultur

TO clean stains from bone or ivory

GONE TO REST

A host of relatives, friends and ac- quaintances were made sad and the hosts of heaven were made to rejoice by the passing away of Mrs. Sarah E. Fallis at her old home, near Charlotte on Sunday evening, July 2S.
 Mrs. Fallis, who spent all of her long. useful life in or near .he neigh borhood in which she died, was born near Newark, on the Galloway place. in the year 1915. She converted to the Christian faith at old Mt. Hermon in 1851, and lived a constant, devoted active disciple ever afterwards, foster- ing a trust that was realized in her last days. In 1861 she was married to R. D. Fallis, who came to Arkansas from Missouri, as Southern soldier boy, little thinking perhaps, that far from home he would rear so large a family to do reverence to his sacred memory.

TORE ABOUT OUR LAWS

Editor Journal. Bro. Selph says in substance that the crucifixion did away with the old Bible, or Mosiac law as whole. Then we look to Christ for new laws and principles.
 Does Christ's law say that we shall own land or property except in common?
 Does His law say for us to infict death penalties and other punish ments for violations of the law, and that we shall sit as judges?
 If not, we should open our hearts and both eyes and suppose that the old law was simply amend ed or revised, and was not done away with, as a whole. Then we have a system of laws direct from our Creator that works out like mathematics, gets a correct an swer to our problem, and without any conflicts.

MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Se-
 rious Consequences of Neg
 lect.

''Fix me up something to knock the malaria, doctor,'' remarked a sallow faced, sickly looking man, entering a prominent physician's office the other day.
 The doctor stepped to his medicine case, took down a couple of bottles, mixed a preparation ahich lie handed to the patient with the customary advice to shake well and follow directions and resumed his seat.
 "Such cases are frequent, replied the doctor in answer to a question. "The warm days and damp, chilly nights are certain malaria breeders and are most serious in those who have neglected to keep their stomach, liver and bowels in good condition. Such persons are full of the impurities on which the malarial germ thrives, and it is from this class that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's s Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim most of their victims whenever these dis eases. are prevalent.
 The proper way to guard against the malarial germ and the serious diseases which follow it is to get into good condi- ton by taking reliable remedy that will keep the bowels clear and the liver healthy, and to continue with it at ire quent intervals during the sick1y season.
 A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or four times week will do all of this, be- sides stimulating the digestion, improv- ing the appetite and keeping the bodily energy at the highest pitch.
 Prickly Ash Bitters is known every where as a system tonic and bowel regu- lator. It not only removes all traces of nlalarial poison from the system, but tones up the vital organs, gives new strength and vigor, makes the body strong and the brain active.
 "Prickly Ash Bitters is the best all-around 1 medicine for the family ever used. During tue l past ten years have always kept 1t in my house Whenever any of my family show signs Of maia ria, kidney trouble, indigestion or sonst ipation i 6 few doses is all that is needed to make them well and hearty again.-W.
