Farmers On job
Early This Year.
Lee Farmers are 0sttias Land Ready.

Farmers in Lee county are on the
job early this year. Already they
have made much progress in getting
their lands ready for the new crop.
The exceptionally mild, fair wealth
.er experienced here..lately has greatly
aided in this particular.
Throughout the entire county the
farmers are busy, and they are.mak-
ing the work put in these fair days
count for all that it is worth. More
land has probably been broken up
and gotten ready for crops this year
already than has happened in any
year in long time. If there is
anything in good start, it would
seem that the farmers of Lee coun-
ty certainly have that advantage
this year.
Not only have they a good start
but they have also a spirit Of OPP
timism that should be worth great
deal. Last years crop, which was
rather disappointing here, will serve
as a reminder that hard work and
economy ought to be practiced more
generally this year than before.
Farming prospects in the county so
far are unusually bright and prom
ising.

A whole system of therapeutics has
been founded on the fact. Since the
days of Pere Hue the Chinese have
enveloped smallpox patients in cloth
ing of a carmine color. In Tonquin
and Australia bandages of the same
color are used on children suffering
from measles, while Spanish parents
not only put their little patients in
wrapping of this brilliant hue but
make them drink syrup Of pomegran-
ates because Of its color.
Red light has a good effect on sew

spell death to bacteria; yellow pro-
tects the eye against the injurious
elements Of the spectrum, while
green calms the nerves and eneour-
ages sleep.

The ideal carriage horse is the
American trotting bred horse, with
size, speed, courage, and the true
trotting gait, with plenty of knee and
hook action. In addition he must
have a clean cut head and neck, style
and finish, plenty of substance with
out coarseness.
- Recognizing the demand for this
class of horses, selected Taylor Sim
mons 23489, a young horse which fills
all the requirements of the typical
carriage horse. If the theory that
like begets ike be true, he will
produce horses of this type when
mated with good mares. Through his
veins flow the blood of the greatest
trotting families. He traces twice to
George Wilkes and five times to Nam
brine Chief ii. This is backed by the
stout thoroughbred blood of Boston.
