Do You Neglect
Your Machinery /!

The machinery Of the body needs to
be well oiled, kept In good condition
just as the automobile, steam engine or
bicycle. Why should the human neglect
his own machinery more than that Of
his horse or his engine? Yet most peo-
pie do neglect themselves. To clean
the system at least once a week is to
practice preventive measures. You will
escape many ills and clear up the coat
ed tongue, the sallow complexion, the
dull headache, the lazy liver, If you will
take a pleasant laxative made up Of
the May-apple, Juice of the leaves Of
aloes, root Of jalap, and called Pleasant
Pellets. You can obtain at almost any
drug store In this country these vege-
table pellets in walls for 25c--simply
ask for DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
There can be no counterfeit If they
have the DR.. Pierce stamp. Proven
good by 80 years use.

FETERITA is SUPERIOR CROP
Variety Of Recent introduction and
Shows Advantage Over kafirs in
Drought Resistance.

CBy J. F. NICHOLSON. Agronomist, Uni
versity Of Arizona-)
Feterita Is a type Of Durra with
erect heads, white seeds and black
bulls. This variety Is of recent intro
duction and shows superiority over the
kafirs In drought resistance and short
er length of time to produce a crop.
Under favorable conditions with an
optimum water supply grain crop
IF feterita can be produced In, 80 days.
Under dry farming this makes a very
valuable crop for forage or grain, when
necessary to plant as late as July,
Early planting is not recommended for
this crop under irrigation or dry farm
ing, unless two crops are desired In one
season. The kafirs are superior for
forage, and where that is desired,
planting can be done in March or
April; they are preferred to feterita.
Feterlta's greatest value win come
through its use as dfy-farming crop
for summer planting.

USE OF CABBAGE FERTILIZER
Dean Of Texas School OF Agriculture
Recommends Use of Ccttonseed
Meal and Phosphate.

Prof. E. ]. Kyle, dean Of the school
Of agriculture, Agricultural and Me-
chanical College of Texas, gives the
following fertilizer formula for cab
bage:
In about q week or ten days before
the cabbage plants are transferred to
the open field, the soil should receive
liberal application Of fertilizer, and
after the plants are about half grown,
1t is very often advisable to give them
a dressing Of nitrate Of soda.
In the application used before the
cabbage plants are set to the open
field, would recommend using equal
parts Of cottonseed meal and acid
phosphate, applying from four to six
hundred pounds per acre. Then, when
the plants have been set out about a
week, / would apply nitrate of soda,
sprinkling 1t around each plant and
taking care that none of the fertilizer
comes in contact with the stem or
roots. The nitrate of soda should then
be worked into the soil with a hoe or
cultivator. Fifty pounds of nitrate Of
soda per acre will give good results.
Then, when the plants are about half
grown, another application Of nitrate
Of soda will usually produce splendid
results.
If the land can receive liberal
dressing Of well-rotted barnyard ma
nure month or six weeks in advance
of planting out the crop you will get
good results.
