The Weird OkIawaha

The old olive green stream flows
eilent, like a film, turning and

The weird cypress, leaved with fine
lace moss with long grey Spanish
moss, the towering pine, the bunchy
palmetto, like burr-heads, and the
weeping willow bending low; the or
ange and magnolia and ash; old
hickory with partners of sweet gum,
and cedars-all silhouetted against
the sapphire sky And the slow and
familiar call of the birds-of the
lanky limkin's te-oo, te-ooo, the
OWLS whoo-whoo, whoo-ah, and the
eagles scream, and the clarion notes
of the mocking bird and the croak-
ing frogs; and the jay-fowl's squawk.

Springs and Springs

Blue Springs in western Marion, at
Juliette, and not far from her Ro-
meo, boils just 1874 gallons of
water peer minute less than Silver
Springs
Salt or Perrian Springs, in Marion
county, eastward from Grahamville,
twenty miles via the Florida Nation

dents, tabled in sample No. 2, which
was made in 1907:
Calcium oxide (cao) Isl, so; mag
nesium oxide Cmgo) 1890; sulphate

total of solids amounting to 5322,7O.
Salt Springs tastes salty and the
river boys say it is good to drink if
you can cultivate a taste for it, 1t
Is a great fishing pool for mullet es-
pecially, also the spring is first class
health resort.
Mosquitoes in the river country are
scattering and in some places scarce
~ mosquito bill is present.
The mosquito loves the oak and
the lands which are drying up from
an overflow. The oaks of the river
generally are hidden in amongst the
forest. The river swamps and the
aftiuences of the rills into the river
seldom dry up. At any time through
out the four seasons you can spread
pallet on board a river vessel and
lie down under the stars and sleep
peacefully. The cool river night al
ways settles down after six o'clock in
the evening and you will need a
blanket.

Mining the Soil.

We all know that mining is tax
ind from the earth the minerals
that nature stored there, and that
when those minerals are exhausted.
the mines are worthless. Can it not
be truthfulIy said that the common
farm practice is that of mining? 1t
is taking from the land those ele-
mentS that nature originally stored
there, aud most of them are Liner
ais OF mineral salts. Lime, phos-
plate, potash, iron, etc, and when
they are exhausted the soil, like The
mines, is worthless. What are farm
ers doing to replace these good
things that nature placed there?
Very little. Light applications of
fertilizers are used in the South to
grow cotton, corn, oats and wheat,
but not enough to more than act
as a stimulus for the one crop, the
same thing to be repeated the fol-
lowing season. Little or no build
ing up Of the land is practiced, nor
could it be done by these applica-
tons of fertilizers; farmers could
not afford to pay for enough fertiliZ-
ers to permanently improve their
fields. And yet all of these fertil-
izerS contain at least three elements
necessary for permanent improve
ment nitrogen, phosphorus and pot
ash, and they contain all the farm.
ers are willing to pay for and in
this way they get all they pay for.
In order to restore the natural fer
tility and lasting fecundity of our
Southern soils we must use the nat
ural elements in larger quantities
and to do so it must be done in
crude OrmS so as to make it cheap
enough.

Aid the Editor.

One of the most difficult tasks in
a newspaper office is getting the
facts relative to births. deaths and
marriages in the community. Many
PEOPLE take it for granted that when
a person dies, the editor is familiar
with every detail of the life Of the
decea I'd AID his activities, when as
a FACT he knows absolutely nothing
about him, but he has to get his in
formation from other sources. same
as Other persons would have to do.
1t is the same with regard to mar
riages or other more or less impor-
tant happenings in the community.
IN almost every case the editor has
to do up the particulars or to salts
fly himself and the readers of his pa
per viii a meager and inaccurate
account. The average editor of a
country PAPER has something like
million and a half of things to do
and t.iuk about in week and the
patrons con hardly overeStimate
how much he appreciates any effort
they make in furnishing him the
facts for news items. -- Elk

MRS. MCGILL
BROKE DOWN
Gives the Real Facts In Regard to
Her Case and Tells How She
Suffered.

Jonesboro, Ark.-"I suffered a COM
plete break down in health, some time
ago." writes Mrs. A. McGill, from this
place. 81 was very weak and could
not do any work. I tried different
remedies, but they did me no good.
One day, got bottle Of Cardui. 1t
did me so much good, 1 was surprised.
and took some more.
Before took Cardui, I had headache
and backache, and sometimes I would
cry for hours. Now am over all that,
and can do all kinds of homework. I
think it is the greatest medicine on
earth"
In the past fifty years, thousands of
ladies have written, like Mrs. McGill,
to tell of the benefit received from
Cardui.
Such testimony, from earnest women,
surely indicates the great value of this
tonic remedy, for diseases peculiar to
women. Are you sufferer? Yes?
Cardui is the medicine you need.
We urge you to try it.

but what about the nitrogen? In
any purchased form nitrogen is
costly. Then Go not purchase it;
grow it. This is the only element,
