Cardui is purely vegetable and gentle
acting. Its ingredients have a mild, lonic
effect, on the womanly constitution.
Cardui makes for increased strength,
improves the appetite, tones up the ner
vous system, and helps to make pale,
sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy.
Cardui has helped more than a million
weak women, during the past 50 years.
It will surely do for you, what it has
done for them. Try Cardui today.

CO-OPERATION IN BUYING A PURE

By Andrew M. Soule, Preeident Georgia State College of Agriculture.
la the days when the bull tongue,
Dixie plow and other Implements of
similar type were depended upon In the
South, the light, active cotton mule
served every purpose, but now agricul
tural practices are becoming more In
tensive, a greater variety of machinery
Is used and a heavier type of work
stock Is demanded.
A good policy for most communities
to follow In introducing heavier draft
stock Is not to Import mares, but to
purchase desirable draft sires. Os
course where mares can be bought at
reasonable price and of good Quality
desirable ends will be attained.
That the pure-bred draft sire can be
Introduced to advantage Is evidenced
by a number of example* In Georgia
Where there has been failure, gener

John R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy, Georgia State College of Agriculture.
During the winter months th« aver
age farmer will find more time to
test seed that he is to use for plant

ably find at any other time. Os course,
seed selection should begin In the field.

In a dry place, these ears can be test

A box with sand In it and slight
moisture kept In a place where It will
not get too cold will soon germinate
the grains from the ears to be tested.
Take ten grains from an ear and plant
In a single row, numbering the row

the ear.
When the grain has developed a

grains germinating. These rows alone
are of further interest. Discard the
ears which have shown less than 90
per cent, germination. To make fur
ther tests of the ears that have shown
in excess of 90 per cent, germination,
you will have to examine the root de
velopment of each grain. Those that
have three or more large, well devel
oped roots, can be classed as having
strong germination, those with
less, weak germination. Again
discard the ears not showing
strong germination as indicated by
root development and you have re
maining the best seed it is possible
for you to select. Such selected seed
will yield from 25 to 60 per cent, more
grain than that which has not been se
lected in this way. The returns make
the little time and attention given to
it, one of the most remunerative lines
of work in which the farmer can en
