RALEIGH, N. C. Child
Made Strong and Well by VinoL

When we tell you that Vinol Is the
best remedy IL. our whole stock for
making weak puny, ailing children
strong, robust and rosy, we are only
telling you what has been proved by
hundreds Of mothers.
Mrs. w. o. Strother, Raleigh, N. C.s
says: "My little girl, Hazel, has been
taking Vinol to build her up after a
severe spell Of sickness. 1t has done
SO much good by restoring her appe-
tite and building up her strength that
think Vinel Is the finest tonic ever
prepared, and I am telling everyone
about It,"
What Vinol did for this little
girl it will do for very weak and
ailing child, because sickly children
need the strengthening cod liver
elements and the tonic iron that
Vinol contains--that Is why Vinol
builds them up quickly and gives
them fine. healthy color. 1t is
pleasant to take, and we guar
antse that the results will satisfy
you 49, money back IL they do not.

Endorsed for tho Bench.
{ Florence Times.)

When a judge is to be elected by
the Legislature from any circuit other
than our own, most of us are in
clined to take no interest whatever
in the matter. We are apt to for
get, for instance, that the judge of
the First Circuit sits as o'.en in our
circuit as he does in his own. There
fore, the election Of a circuit judge
from any circuit in the State is
matter of equal Importance to the
people OF his own circuit and those
Of every other circuit in South Caro-
lima.
That the best men obtainable
should be elected to the bench goes
without saying. We all admit that.
The trouble is that we too frequently
allow personal feeling to sway us in
the expression Of our preferences. 1t
seldom happens that a lawyer can
AFFORD, or is willing. to give up a
practice which pays him approxi-
mately twice as much as the net in
come of circuit Judge in order to
respond to the representations Of his
fellow-attorneys that it is his duty to
do so, and to permit his name to be
used as candidate for the circuit
judgeship.
This, however, is what we are in
formed has happened in the First
Circuit, consisting Of the counties OF
Berk eley Calhoun Dorchester and
Orangeburg, where Octavus Cohen,
Esq, of Moncks Corner, has reluct-
antly agreed to give up an eXceD-
tonally lucrative practice to take the
judgeship, in the event that the Leg
islature shall elect him to fill out the
uneXpired term of Hon. Robert T..
Copes, recently resigned. The en-
dorsements Of Mr.. Cohen, in quality
as we'll as in numbers, are really illu-
minating.
We have the pleasure OF Mr. CO.
hens personal acquaintance-an ac-
quaintance extending over a great
many years; and we do not hesitate
to assert that the State of South Car
olina will be largely the gamer If
the members of its Legislature, at
the coming session, should, in their
wisdom, elect Mr.. Cohen to the
judgeship OF the First Circuit.

How to Improve Wheat.

In Bulletion No. 26S the Michigan
station tells how it has gone about
improving wheat and the highly sat
,sfactory results obtained.
Wheat is one Of the leading crops
in Michigan; and yet in the average
Michigan wheat field heads Of many
different types Of wheat can be found
and the average farmer sows seed Of
these mixed varieties from year to
year; the good, bad and Indifferent
sequence is, the wheat yields low
grades and sells low.
In order to test the benefits OF an
intelligent breeding-up process at the
experiment station careful selec-
ton of a sack full of the best heads
Of one uniform type was made by
going through such field just ahead
of the reapers. This sack was hung
in dry place to cure. The seed was
then beaten out and run through a
tanning mill, which purged it oe all
chaff and small or shrunken grains,
so that only large, heavy, plump
grains were planted for the next crop.
The best heads Of the same type were
selected from that crop, and the same
process was repeated as with the first
selection.
And this word type involves more
than the large head filled with large,
plump grains. A good variety Of
wheat must have a strong, stiff straw
to withstand heavy winds. 1t should
be hard enough to withstand the Sc
verest freezes; and it should have
good milling properties and yield a
-four that will make good bread.
For these reasons the seed Sc
lected included several types, and
these, after being tested as to their
milling and baking qualities, are
crossed so as to obtain a variety COM
bining the good qualities Of all. AS
soon as these superior types are fixed,
the station will grow seed for distri
button among the farmers of the
State. Several hardy varieties, hav-
ing strong straw and making heavy
yields Of grain, have already been OBJ
tanned. One of these produced 43
bushels per acre and another 80 1-3
bushels, while the average for the
State is only IS bushels per acre.
This demonstrates that any intelli~
gent farmer may, by the exercise of
care in selecting and breeding up his
seed wheat, fully double his yield
per acre, and insure grain OF uni
formly high grade that will COM
mand the top price in his market.
AS rule, the red wheats are found
to give greatest satisfaction to the
miller and baker, and several Of these
are also hardy and heavy yielders.
