A new CROP.
Washington Parish Farmers Have
Good Prospects Thru Dried
Beans.

Following is a copy of a letter
of inquiry from Ingnatus Grass
Co., 26S-269 West St., New
York, to Hon. Harry D. Wilson,
of Rcseland, La, and which Mr..
Wilson forwarded to this office
believing our soil to be specially
adopted to the cultivation of the
bean. We .elieve the growing
of the Beans would be quite
profitable to our farmers as it is
estimated that from Is to 20
bushels per acre can be produc-
ed either before or after some
other crop. AS the bean is a
legume and helps to build up the
soil we are sure this can be made
one OF our most profitable crops
and it is hoped that our farmers
will look we'll into this matter and
see if it will not open up a new
business for them.
Hon Harry D. Wilson,
Roseland, La,
Dear SIR

Waste Not-Want Not

rOducts of Southern farms is an
ually wasted trough careless or
,norant handling. We refer to
.neat-our great hog crop.
There never was a time when
the practice Of real economy and
the prevention of unnecessary
waste were 50 important as now.
Money is scarce, all feedstu1f
are high priced, and the new era
of growing other crops in place
of cotton dictates the saving OF
more SOW pigs than usual.
We propose to give few of the
best practical precautions against
meat waste.
Weather Waste is the most com
mon and inexcusable. Thous-
ands of farmers go to the trouble
and expense of bringing hogs up
to the slaughter state and then
let them eat up all possible profit
because Of supposed dependence
upon weather conditions for kill
ing, Many others lose large
quantities of meat in the process
of curing because Of lack of pro-
lection against unexpected warm
weather. We remember a case
where over one hundred thousand
pounds Of meat was ruined in a
single season in one Georgia
county through this cause.
The important fact is that the
business packer kills every day
in the year-in July the same as
December irrespective of tenn
perature. Refrigeration-ice-is
the solution.
In Florida every local ice plant
provides a cold storage room, to
which farmers carry their fresh
meat and leave for four weeks at
a fixed charge Of l cent per
pound. This is the ideal ar
rangement where farm cold stor-
age is not feasible.
Ice, however, is available every
where and offers perfect protec-
ton. Its use is simple. Kill
and cut in the usual way. At
ter, twenty.four hours cooling
put a layer of broken pieces Of
|ice-from two to five pounds
each-in the bottom of a box OF
bin in a corner of the smokehouse
Cover with a layer of meat, then
more ice till all the meat is pack
ed between layers of ice. Cover
with paper or blankets and leave
| till the ice is all melted, Then
wipe the meat dry and salt thu
same as though no ice had beer
fused.
The action is simple. Hea
aids decay. Fresh meat is warn
from animal heat. Ice removes
this heat and thereby takes away
the primary cause for spelling.
Under average conditions {
half pound Of ice for every pound
of meat is sufficient.
i Curing Waste sets in during
4 the subsequent curing process.
Salt is the universal preservative
and the lack Of proper use of this
common article is surprisingly
frequent.
q The secret is to get the salt tc
| the point of danger. The bone
retains heat longer than does the
meat. 1t is, therefore, at the
bone, particularly the joints, that
trouble starts. Salt, plenty of
| salt, more salt, is the remedy. It
is particularly important that the
salt reaches the joints. Inserting
salt in a hole made with a knife
point thrust into the joint is sure
protection. More effective and
convenient is the salt syringe

it as doorstep for. several years.

the stone buried near Fort Smelling
and three of us carried it home. We
turned the smooth side up and tramp
ed daily over the royal coat CT arm:
for years."
There can be no doubt that the tab
let is genuine and is of great aEtiQui
ty," said Warren Upham, archaeology
cal secretary Of the Minnesota Histor'
ical society. "We are unable to find a
solution as to how the tablet found its
resting place near Fort Smelling, bu
shall continue to investigate Tle

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a wellknown
authority. Meat forms uric acid
which overworks the kidneys in their
effort to filter it from the blood and
they become sort of paralyzed and
loggy. When your kidneys get slug.
gish and clog you must relieve them,
like you relieve your bowels; remov.
ing all the body's urinous waste, else
you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours,
tongue is coated, and when the wealth
er is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine is cloudy, full of sediment,
channels often get sore, water scalds
and you are obliged to seek relief two
or three times during the night. s
Either consult good, reliable ply.
slclan at once or get from your phar.
macist about four ounces OF Jad

of water before breakfast for few
days and your kidneys will then act

the acid of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and sti

tralize acids in the urine so it no

HISTORIC TABLET UNEAR1HED
RECENTLY
Was Used as Doorstep by Finders
for Many Years.

Minneapolis, Oct. 5.-Historians are
devoting considerable attention to a
stone toilet, five feet long and two and
half feet wide, uneatthed at the
home of Luther Gates, $50 Forty
eighth avenue, South, and bearing
what appears to be the royal coat OF
arms of Spain.
There is no date or lettering on The
tablet that might reveal its story.
Some historians, when the slab was
first examined, expressed the belief
that the relic might have been identi-
fled with the feats of some early ex-
plorer.
The design of a crown is carved IT
the top of the stone, which weighs
