FARMER OUGHT TO
Raise OWN FOODS
Van Meter Says 1t Is Mistake To
Grow Tobacco To Exclusion
of Other Products

+. c. VanMcter, well known
Fayette county farmer, express
ed the opinion Saturday that
farmers growing tobacco made
great mistake when they grow
tobacco to the exclusion Of what
is needed in the home ar! Tor
feeding purposes with Il view 10
buying these things out d TO-
bacCo money.
Every farmer said Nj. Van
Meter, ought 10 raise his own
graill-wheat and corn f6r bread
stuffs. and enough grain t. iced
his own hogs aad produce his
own lard and bacon. He ou&l15
also to grow his own potatoes,
and raise a 3ooJ garden to FRO
vide green food during the sum
mer.
81 know a farmer, a number
of farmers, who buy practically
nothing exoent sugar and coffee
and other groceries throughout
the wear. Their !ield;, ORCHARDS.
and gardens provide plenty Of
food, which canned or preserved
lasts them and their families
from one season TO another.
Every farmer should have his
flock of chickens, his COW, his
hogs. It is easily possible for
the average tenant to arrange
with his landlord for >pastura%e
and for ground enough 10 grow
corn to fatten bis hogs. If all
tenant farmers would conduct
their business on this basis, in
stead of devoting so much slime
and space to tobacco, the results
would be vastly better for the
farmers.
ga little tobacco planted on
good, productive, fertile land,
will bring in more money on the
market than twice as much on
Indifferent land, or more than
the farmer can properly attend
to. A five-acre tract Of tobacco
properly attended to and raised
on good ground, will sell for as
much as ten or fifteen acres in
differently tended and planted on
ground not fit for tobacco. 1t
takes, good ground to grow to-
bacco and if farmers confne
their planting to fit ground there
is little likelihood of over-pro-
duction this year.

from number OF counties with
in the past few weeks and al

Cures of Early DAYS.

Some idea of the state of the medi
cal profession in the early colonial pc
Rod of America can be gained by read
ing a prescription recommended by
Sir kenelm Digby, an eminent Eng
Ijsh writer, to John Winthrop, Jr.. in
1876. The medicine was for "miracu-
lous cures in all sorts of vicers, and
by knitting soddainly broken bones.
Here is the prescription:
"Beate to subtle pouder one ounce
of crabbes eyes, then putt upon it
in a high glass because of the Ebulli-
tion) four ounces of strong vinegar.
Il will instantly boyle up extremely;
let it stand till all be QUIET; then
strain 1t through fine linOn; and of
this liquor (Which will then taste like
dead Deere without any sharpness)
give two spoonfuls att time to
drink three times; and you shall see
strange effect in a weeke or two"
