now advertising pays.
j Two farmers were once discussing
; their local paper. One thought it
I «ad too many advertisements m it
r i he other replied: “In
i my opinion
the advertisements are far from be
ing the leaet valuable part of it. I
I look them over caiefully and save
' at least five times the cost of the
paper each week through the busi¬
ness advantages I get for them."
Said the other: “I believe you
are right—I know that they pay roe
well and rather think it is not good
tagte to find fault with the adver¬
tisements after all,"
It pays any man with a family to
take a good local,paper for the sake
of the advertisements if nothing more
And if business men fail to give
farmers a chance to read advertise
rnents in the local paper, they are all
blind to their interests to say the
least of it.
“Yon never trade with me," said a
business man to a prosperous far¬
mer. “You never asked me and I
r , ever fe , 0 w)iere j atn not invited . j
might not be welcome," was his re¬
ply—Nashville, N. O, Graphic.
An Epidemic of Diarrhoea.
Mr. A. .Sanders, writing fiom Cocoa
nut Grove, FJa., says there lias been
quite auepidemic of diairhoea there.
H<* had a severe attack and was cured
by four doses of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, He
says he also recommended it to others
and they say it is the best medicine
they ever used. For 6aIo by ltugwcll

“good valves are tub foundation of
true success.”— Ben j. Franklin.
We had arrived at this conclusion long before we read this eminent¬
ly true aphorism of one of America's greatest men.
How Mr. Frankiiu found this out we do not knew—our 'knowledge
of it was gained by experience.
Particularly is it true in selling goods that “Good values ate the
foundation of true success”. Every time we give a customer a good bar¬
gain it pays mr. This is wliy we try to give every one of them a genuine
bargain every time we make a sale. Helling good values is the secret of
our growing success.

A WAY TO MAKE HOGS WEIGH,
Here is the way I make one-year
old hogs weigh 300 pounds, says a
farmer in the Southern Gazette:
Sow oats in the fall to winter on. If
you can't get the oats in fall and
winter, sow early in the spring. One
acre in oats with a good season will
keep twelve or fifteen shoals if in
boot when turned on, It will take
hard work for them to keep the oats
down. Foi twelve or fifteen hogs
one and one-half acres sown down
in sorghntn, orange or red-top, is beat.
A peck of seed to the acre is plenty. '
If I have oats I let my hog# on the
the cane as soon as it is three or four
inches high. They will not bother
the cane as long as the oats are ten¬
der. For five or six mouths I feed
no corn unless it turns very dry.
The less corn fed tho less they eat
the cane. 1 have two acres in or¬
chard I turn pigs on, which enables
them to do better than that. One
acre in oats, one' and one-balf acres
in cane, and my orchard of two aorea.
will keep twenty head of gobd, big
shoals, or three sows with eight piga
each. Dry soil will not do, neilher
will deep sand. Tho cane can be
pulled up too easily in deep sand.
If it is reasonable and the cane is
getting too tall, it would be better
to cut part of it down. It will soon
sprout out aud take a more vigorous
growth. Iiorsee will delight in mow¬
ing it down, if they have a chance.
Oats will run hogs until July if they
can keep them eaten down, though
I prefer sorghum for summer and let
the hug# on while young, say ten or
twelve inches high and it should be
kept down so as to keep tendar.
Too many hogs can ruin it, of course.
With to few hogs the cane will get
tough.
