DUAL PURPOSE COWS
Breed Depends Upon Require
ments of Farmer.
Man Who Keeps Only Few Animals
Wants One That Will Give Milk
and Butter and Produce
Beef Calves.
(By G. H. ALFORD, Farmers' Co-opera
tive Demonstration Work, West Jack
son. Miss.)
The breed of cattle that a man
should keep depends entirely upon the
purpose for which he is breeding them.
If he is breeding for beef alone, he
should select one of the characteris
tic beef breeds. If butter is his sole
object, he should breed one of the
Raised in Yazoo-Mississippi Valley.
noted butter producing breeds. If the
quantity of milk is what interests him,
he should breed cattle noted for a
large flow of milk.
It is claimed by some that the gen
eral purpose cow is ruining the coun
try; but this type of cattle is all right
on the one horse farm. The farmer
who keeps only a few cows for his own
use does not need the beef breeds or
milk breeds. He needs a cow that
gives him milk and butter, and at the
same time produces calves that may
be sold as beef.
BRIGHT BOYS STAY ON FARM
Most of Intelligent Young Men Go to
Cities in Search of Honor—Farm
er Is Independent.
(By G. H. ALFORD.)
There are many reasons why so
many of our brightest boys leave the
farm. However, I am of the opinion
lhat most of our intelligent boys leave
the farm to seek honor. They do not
think it is possible for a farmer to be
highly honored by his fellow men.
They judge from the amount of honor
bestowed upon the average farmer.
They do not stop to think that the
average farmer is not well educated
(md qualified to fill positions of honor
find trust. They do not seem to real
lize the fact that the uneducated men
in every calling are required to go
way back and sit down.
Hundreds of other men leave the
farm because there is little chance of
becoming wealthy on the farm. I will
admit that there is little chance to ac
cumulate a fortune on the farm. Very
few farmers have ever accumulated
as much as $50,000. Farming is neces
sarily a small business. It cannot be
spread out over thousands of acres.
The farmer must do a thing himself,
or have his shadow fall on the man
who does it, if he wants to succeed.
The ideal farm is a small one.
A good living is all that any man
can get out of this world. The farmer
can get a better living and live a hap
pier life than other professional men.
He cannot hoard up banks of gold,
but he can have a comfortable home,
plenty to eat, and good clothing to
wear. Young men and young ladies,
what more do you want?
The farmer is probably more nearly
Independent than any other man. He
can work as he pleases, and vote as he
pleases. It makes no difference what
opinion he has expressed, his land
will yield just the same.
Young men, get a good agricultural
education and stay on the farm. The
day is not far distant when men will
be taken from between the plow han
dles and placed in the legislative halls,
the halls of congress, and in gover
nors’ chairs. The same honors will be
conferred on farmers that is conferred
on others.

Improvement.-
TO IMPROVE EXHAUSTED SOIL
Practice Suitable Rotation of Such
Crops as Corn and Peas, Peanuts,
Soy Beans, Etc.
(By G. H. ALFORD. Farmers’ Co-opera
tive Demonstration Work, West Jack
son. Miss.)
J. W. H., Vaughan, N. C„ asks the
following questions: What is the best
way to improve exhausted land? Is it
best to plant corn and cotton on beds
on well drained upland? What are
the best Implements to use In culti
vating corn and cotton on upland?
Plow the land deeper every time It
is broken and turn under the corn
and cotton stalks, oat, pea, soy bean,
and other stubble, grass and trash. If
the soil needs drainage, drain it. Re
duce the washing to the minimum by
thoroughly pulverizing the soil and
filling it full of vegetable matter for
about ten inches. Keep something
green growing on the land in the
I spring, summer, fall and winteu. Prac
-1 (ice a well balanced system or farm
j ing—one that will include more legu
| inous crops to enrich instead of wear
out the land; one that will include
more stock to consume the grass and
leguminous crops that must be grown
to enrich the land and to make manure
to further enrich the land. Practice
a suitable rotation of crops such as
corn and peas, oats followed oy peas,
peanuts, soy beans, or lespedoza, and
cotton. Under this system of rotation
with the legumes, your land will need
only ground phosphate rock and pos
sible potash. By practicing this rota
tion of crops the Louisiana station at
Calhoun brought the cotton up to a
bale and more, the corn yield to 37
bushels, and the oats In one case to
more than 60 bushels.
1 think it advisable to plant the cot
ton on slightly elevated beds. Plant
the corn on a level. Cultivate the corn
on a level.
Cultivators, heel sweeps and har
rows. A turning plow Is out of place
in a cultivated field after the land is
broken unless the soil is devoid of
vegetable matter and runs together
after heavy rains or unless it rains
for two or three weeks and it becomes
necessary to bury grass. If the soil
becomes hard after heavy rains, It
may be advisable to use the turning
plow as a necessary evil. If it Is
necessary to use the turning plow to
stir the soil or to clean out the grass,
by all means use cultivators or har
rows a few days after using the turn
ing plow to thoroughly pulverize the
soil and make a dust mulch.
WHAT CONCRETE REALLY IS
Many People Have Idea That It Is
Same as Cement, but There Is
Vast Difference.
(By JOHN A. KEMP.)
Many people have an idea that ce
ment and concrete are the same.
There is a vast difference between the
two, because, in fact, cement is only
one of the elements of concrete.
Concrete is stone manufactured by
mixing sand, cement and stone or
gravel. The proportions vary accord
ing to the use to which the concrete
is to be put.
The mixture in which all the spaces
between the stone or gravel are filled
with sand and all the spaces between
Concrete Mixture.
the sand are filled with cement is the
ideal mixture. Cement Is a powder
finer than*flour.
The ideal mixture is rarely obtained
as the spaces In each load of gravel
and sand vary slightly, and in order
to be absolutely safe, a little more
sand and a little more cement than
will exactly fill the spaces should be
used.
Considerable skill is required in the
mixing of concrete to obtain a sub
stance that will meet all the require
ments to which it Is put, and its dura
bility depends very largely upon the
right proportions of sand, stone or
gravel used.

COOK OUTDID THE SCHOLAR
Maybe Sign Was Not All Good Latin,
but She Translated It Without
Difficulty.
Jack returned home from college,
where he had won high honors as a
student of ancient languages, but he
pleaded ignorance one day when his
young sister asked him to translate
a sign she had seen of an optician’s
which read thus: “Con sultu sabo
utyo urey cs.”
Jack struggled manfully with it for
several minutes and gave it up.
"There are some words in It that
are Latin. The others aren't, any
how. It doesn’t make sense.”
“That is what I said,” replied his
sister. “But cook translates it with
out any trouble. She says it means
’Consult us about your eyes.’ ”
“ECZEMA ITCHED SO I
COULDN'T STAND IT.”
“I suffered with eczema on my neck
for about six months, beginning by
little pimples breaking out. I kept
scratching till the blood came. It
kept getting worse, I couldn’t sleep
nights any more. It kept itching for
about a month, then I went to a doc
tor and got some liquid to take. It
seemed as if I was going to get bet
ter. The itching stopped for about
three days, but when it started again
was even worse than before. The ec
zema itched so badly I couldn't stand
it any more. I went to a doctor and
he gave me some medicine, but it
didn’t do any good. We have been
having Cutlcura Remedies in the
house, so I decided to try them. I
had been using Cuticura Soap, so I
got me a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and washed off the affected part with
Cuticura Soap three times a day, and
then put the Cuticura Ointment on.
The first day I put it on, it relieved
me of itching so I could Bleep all that
night. It took about a week, then I
could see the scab come off. I kept
the treatment up for three weeks, and
my eczema was cured.
“My brother got his face burned
with gunpowder, and he used Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment. The peo

but you can’t see that he ever had
his face burned. It was simply awful

edies (Soap and Ointment) cured it.”

Pain In Her Side
■, Mrs. Church, of Summit, N. C., (wife of J. W. Church,
the Notary Public) suffered many years with female troubles.
She finally tried Cardui, and in the following letter, her
husband tells of her experience with this great medicine for
women. He writes : “My wife was afflicted with womanly
troubles for twelve years. She suffered great pain in her
side and back, for two weeks at a time. We called in a
doctor, our family physician for many years, and it was after
his treatments all failed that she decided to

She says nothing is so good as Cardui for female troubles.”
For more than half a century, sick women have been
using Cardui, and letters similar to Mr. Church’s have been
pouring in, with their message of gratitude. Each year, the
number of women who use Cardui has increased. Cardui
is not an experiment—it’s a medicine of established merit.
