Throat Coughs
A tick'ing in the throat;
hoarseness at times; adeep
breath irritates it;—these
arc features of a throat
cough. They’re very de
ceptive and a cough mix
ture won't cure them.

The possibilities of farming and

staggering. The immense amount

business is certainly very vast.

Keep It Before Democrats.
The democrats of Colorado in
convention assembled said: "We
declare that there can be no alli
ance between the democratic party,
or any portion thereof, and those
great corporations\vhich attempt,
through legislation and through
the executive and judicial branches
of the government, to exploit the
people. Democracy stands for
the masses against all class ag
gression.”
That states the case in a nut
shell, and to this end let demo
crats m every state remember that
"00 man who is officially connected
with a corporation that is seeking
privileges ought to act as a mem
ber of a political organization, be
cause ho can not represent his cor
poration and the people at the
same time. He can not serve the
public while he is seeking to pro
mote the financial interests of the
corporation with which he is con
nected."
Rough on the Home Buyer.
When it was first charged that
American manufacturers were sell
ing many articles abroad for loss
than at home, the Republicans de
nied it. When the truth was pro
duced, they undertook to break the
force of the attack h\ saying that
it was merely the surplus product
of the manufacturers that was sold
and that it did not amount to
much. Now Secretary Shaw has
been saying in his speeches that a
quarter of our manufactured goods
ar > sold abroad cheaper than at
home, and that is a good thing for
the country, which the Dingley
Man’s first occupation in this
world was the care of the soil and
its products. It is safe to suppose
that this is to be continued
throughout.
There is record of progtoss in
farming and gardening from the
earliest historic times. The an
cient Jacob bad insight into a
leading principle of making all
breeds of plants and animals.
And yet it is a fact that more
has been accomplished for agri
culture and horticulture during the
last one hundred years than in
all the other centuries of the past.
This is the work of science.
There is really now no limit to be
put to the farmers who ask for co
operation from men of learning
that are engaged in other walks of
life. The farmer of the present
time is to be regarded as the right-
of-way to look into and apply
science to the cultivation of the
soil.
No class can afford to offer op-
1 position to real progress. The in
troduction ot machines nowin use
among all the farmers in this
country was at first opposed to a
1 considerable degree, but a success
ful example here and there was
mightier than any opposition, The
argument of the pocketbook pre
vailed.
The introduction of labor-saving
articles undoubtedly created a new
era in the history of farming and
gardening; the applications of
chemistry to the soil in its pre
vailing form was a greater step
still. This chemistry is the fine
key that unlocks the earth and
lets the farmer and gardener into
secrets as simple and beautiful as
they were once mysterious and
confounding.
Without enlarging the boundar
ies of the land, the products be
come many times increased by the
better method. Many are thj di
rections in which the mind can
have splendid outlet in this new
view. We may happily consider
the adaptation of soils to particu
lar crops. Science teaches the
'thoughtful farmer that a soil may
be kept in its strength and even
enriched forever so that soil which
one year has had fine corn, wheat
or cotton may be made to grow
this forever.
The like is not for the man,how
ever, who never reads a book or
paper and who is just a plow-fol
lower turning a furrow at stated
times in obedience to some signs.
We have risen in this business
by a variety ot steps. The prac
tice of grafting and budding has
made it possible to fill the orchards
of the country with the most de
licious fruit. Men are apt to get
the benefit of science sooner in
gardening than in farming. Near
ness to market is always a big item
on this account and the garden is
thus favored.
We think of the vast advantage
.lust 11 few lines this time on
making an abundance of forage to
feed all farm stock and some to
spare will not seem out of place.
Cotton is the crop that will bring
money to the farmers of the South,
but if the soli' dcpendancc is placed
in the cotton crop the money or
the comforts it should buy will
not remain with 11s. While cot
ton is the magnet to draw wealth
to us some cords are required to
bind and hold this wealth and the
accompanying comforts to our peo
ple. Anything which we use on
our farms or which is used exten
sively in nearby centers of popula
tion, and which can be produced
at home as cheaply as it can bo
bought, constitutes a cord to use in
binding the cotton money to our
people.
Forage crops fall under this
head. The average fanner of the
South can produce a ton of hay
for 111 ik-Ii less than it sells in any
nearby town. Yet many, many
are those who each year purchase
and feed western hay to western
reared mules to plow the soil of
the South to grow cotton to be
manufactured either in a foreign or
a northern mill. These things
ought not to be. They are not to
our credit or honor either. South
ern cotton should be made with
mules fed upon southern grown
oats, corn and forage, and to a con
siderable extent the mule should
be bred, born and reared upon the
same farm he cultivates. This re-
1 quires quite a revolution in our
way of thinking and doing. How
ever, the changes necessary in ac
complishing such a reform are no
greater than some which this and
other less favored lands have been
called upon to undergo. It re
quired only about ten years to see
many sections of the northwest
changed from wheat to live stock
and dairy centers. At the same
time those centers produce prac
tically as much wheat with their
live stock and dairy products as
before taking up the new lines. Is
it not possible for the South to
make gradual developments along
some such lines and while so doing
j keep up the present cotton output,
or even increase it as rapidly as
the markets may warrant? The
men in the eastern half of the belt,
who now make a bale to a bale and
a half of cotton to the acre, are
generally men who use consider
able quantities of home made 111a- ;
mires in addition to some coinmer- j
dal fertilizers. To make home
made manures requires the keep-1
ing of domestic animals in con- 1
siderable numbers, and the pro- j
ductiou of food stull's upon which ;
the animals may 1h* maintained at

when gummed down, completely
