SOME TIHELY SUGGESTIONS.
How to Produce a Profitable Crop of
Wheat.
The Charlotte Oil & Fertilizer Com
pany and the President of the Compa
ny, Mr. Fred Oliver, of Charlotte, N.
C., have again demonstrated on their
farms what can be done towards profit
able wheat raising. The 250 acres which
they had in wheat this year gave aa av
erage yield of 30 bushels per acre; one
field of 30 acres gave an average yield
of 34 bushels, auother field of 90 acres
gave an average yield of 33 bushoL per
acre. A field of 00 acres that was in
wheat a year ago, sown by tho former
owner of the laud, and which last year
yielded ouly eight bushels per acre,
this year gave an average yield of 24
bushels to the acre. With such au il
lustration of what cau be done by pro
gressive farming, why will the majority
of farmers continue to be satisfied, or,
if not satisfied, continue to curse their
luck when their crop of wheat turns out
only five to ten bushels per acre? There
is no reason, and ia fact, it is a crime
for any farmer to throwaway his time
and land by growing such a poor crop,
as the most of them now raise when
they could treble and quadruple the
yield by intelligent and progressiva
farming. They must use better mules
and ploughs to prepare the soil, U3ing
the best disc grain drills, having fertil
izer distributors attached tb plant and
fertilize the wheat, using the best seed
wheat even if it does cost a few cents
per bushel mure money, using uot less
than 400 lbs. high grade complete fer
tilizer par acre instead of 100 lbs. of low
grade acid and acid potash goods. Seed
wheat that is free from broken and de
fective wheat, and above all almost ab
solutely free from cockle seed is worth
twioe as muoh for seeding as the seed
wheat usually used. Still more im
portant is the fact that seed wheat from
a crop that gave a yield of 30 to 35 bush
els per acre is superior to seed wheat
from a crop that gave only five to ten
bushola per acre. No farmer will at
tempt to raise mules and horses to
wuigh to 1,600 lbs. each aud ex
poot to Bucced if ha tuqs for brooding,
stock that weighs from 500 to 800 lbs.;
no breeder of high grade milch cows
will expect to succeed except by using
high grade stock. La3t, but not least,
they must use high grade fertilizer if
the farmers expect to receive proper re
turns from land and Labor. Why be
satisfied by using 100 lbs. per acre of
choap, low grade fertilizer when 400
lbs. of high grade fertilizer will give an
increase of 15 to 25 buvhcis per acre?
It costs no more, or very little more, to
prepare the land for a good crop than
for a poor one; it coats no more to drill
in good seed wheat, and 400 lbs,of high
grade fertilizer, per acre, than to drill
in poor seed wheat and 100 lbs. of poor,
cheap fertilizer per awe; it costs no
more to cut an acre of good wheat with
a reaping machine then it does to ruu
the maohino over an aare of poor wheat,
and the reaping madhine leaves less
wheat in the field ungathered if the
crop is a good one than it does if the
crop is a poor one. The farmers of the
south have the best market for their
wheat, corn and hay of any section in
the United States, as they can obtain
the same prices as the western farmer
plus the froight that is charged from
the west to the south. Why not then
farm on a profitable plan and not an
unprofitable one? Use good stock and
tools, good seed aud fertilizer, good
judgment and skill in handling labor
and machinery, and above all work
yourself as au example to your hired
Lelp, and you will find farming profitable
Getting Jurors in St. Louis.
It was not an easy thing for a man
drawn on a jury to escape serving
when he had to deal with Judge Lind
ley of St. Louis. The story runs that
a raw' German was summoned for
jury duty, and wished to get off.
“Schudge,” he said plaintively, “I
can nicht goot English understan’.”
“Oh, you can serve,” said Judge
Lindley, cheerfully. "You won’t have
to understand good English: you won’t
hear any such In this court.”

How Mothers may Help
their Daughters into Womanhood
Every mother possesses information of vital value to her
young daughter. That daughter is a precious legacy, and
the responsibility for her future is largely in the hands of the
mother. The mysterious change that develops the thought
less girl into the thoughtful woman should find the mother
on the watch day and night. As she cares for the physical
well-being of her daughter, bo will tho woman be, and her
children also.
When the young girl’s thoughts become sluggish, when
sho experiences headaches, dizziness, faintness, and exhibits
an abnormal disposition to sleep, pains in the back and lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude, and a dislike for the
society of other girls, when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, then the mother should go to her aid promptly. At
such a time the greatest aid to nature is Lydia E. rink
huin’s Vegetable Compound. It prepares the young
system for the coming change, and is the surest reliance in
this hour of trial.
The following letters from Miss Good are practical proof
of Mrs. Pinkham*s efficient advice to young women.

The tree-pest known as San Jose
scale has appeared in Brooklyn in

insects may do much damage to fruit

the bark, and by boring suck the sap

The Horse Fly Pest.
The ordinary flies are troublesome
enough to the dairyman, causing tho
calves to lose flesh and the cows to
shrink in their milk, and the ox or
gadfly is worse, but when it comes to
what are called the horse fly, we sup
pose them to be a worse pest than all
the others, states the Amertcun Culti
vator. We here republish the formula
given by the Kansas Experiment Sta
tion, which they say keeps off all flies
at a cost of one-fourtli to one-half cent
a day for each animal.
It is as follows: Pulverized resin,
two parts, by measure; soap shavings,
one part; water, one-half part; fish-oil,
one part; water, three parts. Place the
resin, soap shavings, one-half part of
water and flsh-oil together in a re
ceptable and boil till the resin is dis
solved; then add the three parts of
water, following with the oil of tar
mixed with the kerosene. Stir the
mixture well and allow it to boil for
fifteen minutes. When cool, the mix
ture Is ready for use, and should bo
stirred frequently while being applied.
From one-eighth to one-half pint is
sufficient for one application. To apply
the mixture, a brush Is used. We lind
nothing more satisfactory than a large
painterls brush. At first it is well to
make an application for two or three
days in succession. Afterwards an ap
plication every other day will suffice.
It is often more economical not to at
tempt to protect the entire animal,
but only those parts not reached by the
bead or tail. It is perfectly safe, and
in no case has it appeared detrimental
to the health of the calf.

Tasteless Chill Tonic
Is the standard prescription of America for
Malaria, Chills and Fever.
How often do you hear imitators say “Our
medicine is just as good as Grove’s" or “It is
better than Grove's’’. Do not be satisfied
with the “just as goods”. There are no “just
as goods”—Grove’s is the best as such com
parisons admit—Grove’s is many times supe
rior both in merit and popularity to any other
chill preparation manufactured, and is the
only chill cure sold to jobbers in car load
lots. Every druggist in the malarial sections
of the United States and Cuba sells Grove’s
on aNo cure, No pay, basis. Price 50 cents.
Grove’s Tonic broke up a 10 days’ spell of fever which
a physician thought would last several weeks.
“ During my recent illness your Chill Tonic proved of
beneficial effect—it being highly endorsed by my family phy
sician. 3 bottles broke up alO days’ spell of fever which at
first was thought by the doctor would last for several weeks.
Your excellent remedy is having a tremendous sale through
out this section, more so than all other Chill Tonics combined,
as I am informed by various druggists.”

Improving Common Hogs.
A herd of common hogs may be
quickly and cheaply improved by in
troducing a boar of any good breed,
but of pure blood. Select anew one
of the same breed each year, but not u
near relative. Such a course will give
a herd all the characteristics of that
breed in a few years. But if each
year anew breed is selected, the at
tempted improvement will prove a
fuilure. In-and-in breeding is another
and fatal error in perpetuating our best
breeds and families, as no animal
shows deterioration from that causo
as soon as the hog.
