■ —— THE FARMER’S PROTECTION Remarkable Story Tlie story of Mrs. Matilda 'Warwick, of Kokomo, llnd., as told below, pro.ves the curative properties of that well-known female remedy, Wine of CarduL Mrs. Warwick says: TAKE It WEI Help You J u *‘T suffered from pains in my head, shoulders, I limbs, side, stomach low down, dizziness, chills, ner vousness, fainting spells and other female troubles. II was almost dead. Three doctors did not help me. I At last, 1 took Cardui, and with the first bottle ob tained relief. Now I am cured. But for Cardui, I would have been dead.” Trv Cardui.

Last November I was in company with a band of democratic southern gentlemen, representatives i of tho clay Industry In Georgia, who | ! heard of the proposed tariff revision aud they went up In arms about re duction of raw clay. They wanted It to stay up. More recently, the cot- I ton manufacturers of the south have sent committees to the halls of con gress to Importune that august body to protect southern cotton manufac turers. The coal and iron people in Alabama and Tennessee don't want tho tariff lowered. Somebody has even suggested that a tax on export ed raw cotton would be a good thing. And all this in the face of tariff revision by the republicans. I can remember some ten or fifteen years ago when every southern man want ed low tariff, when democracy howl ed against the raise put on by the republicans. Things i$ro changing now ami the south Is getting Into old line republicanism while the north is drifting toward free tariff. The turn in tho tide has cone. The law-makers of the populous and pow erful north anil east have discovered that the south Is full of resources, .hat we have everything on earth at our command, that within a few short years the north and cast will be virtually in the hands of the ag rieultural and manufacturing enter prises of the south. This Is evolu tion in its highest sense. However, there Is yet enough for the southern farmer to do In order for hint to protect homo. Protection 1b about the greatest word, outside of love, that a farmer, or anybody else, can fashion for home use, and it Is a pretty poor farmer who won’t do everything possible to protect his family. With conditions changing as they arc nt present, It Is absolutely uccejsury for the farmer to look we.l after the crops needed at home,' and now Is the opportune time to ar range for this protection. During tho cide, and upon them will depend his future success. There Is no more need for the southern farmer to be dependent fin tariff and protection from a governmental standpoint than it Is for a hog to be given a holiday, to use the old expression. With the grass so green, the flow ers so beautiful and the prospects so great, who cares about the wrangling of lawmakers? The Georgia legisla ture would hardly create a ripple of (jxcltement just now among thet farmers, and the national lawmakers can't do much as the Georgians when they get started on something like railroad rates, or prohibition, and so here's farewell to the troubles of the United States congress. The abudnnee of grass brings back to my mind something that a prominent official of the agrlcutural department of these same United States of America said to me recent ly. And that la the great opportun ity there is in dairying In the south. Quite recently a young matt, whom 1 did not know personally, came to me and asked nbout going Into the dairy business on a small scale. He had real knowledge nbout the work, prom ised to devote time and energy to the enterprise, and so he started out with just an even dozen cows. I gave hint a little assistance In the way of getting Into the business end of the proposition anil today he Is milking twenty-three cows nnd has orders for more stuff than ho can supply. He makes good stuff, and supplies Ills customers regularly. When I find a fellow doing his work that way I often wish I could blow his horn for him, and put In free advertising everywhere. | do It in a way, hut not specifically, so it who handle their dairy The young man loves the young lady That’s his business The young lady loves the young man, That’s her business.

Georgia folk sure ought to be ashamed of themselves when it comes to thla-foature of their existence, for millions of dollars go out of the state every year for hogs and eggs, so say nothing of beef. With good fences and proper sold at hard-tlme prices like cot- ,T>rt>ctlH the farmers of tho stato can gather In this harvest of dollars for ton was sold the last season. It Is not yet too late to add to tho tlieniHelvoB and In this connection It regular crop of corn and farmtVs [may be well to remind the farmers ought to plant a little extra amount, that when they keep one dollar from for with a good crop out west last being spent on the farm It. Is liko year and prices ranging around a dol- saving two, for It means virtually that iar per bushel In Georgia this spring, when It is brought down to Its last what will It be If tlie western belt j analysis. Think aL.rnt these prob falls to make a full crop? These lems anil see whore you stand, Broth are questions for the farmer to tie- er Farmer!—Union Newt'. Because tho laboring man or busi ness or professional man keeps chicks is no reason why I should not keep them, the farmer may say. To thlB we will reply that of all people In this terrestrial sphere who arc In n position to make money on poul try, the farmer, sits In tho “drlver'3 seat." Wo n\uke this statement with out font - of successful contradiction, He possesses advantages beyond those of any other man on earth, and j possessed only by him. Here is the proof: In the first place the fanner has the land, and in many eases waste land of little value can be used for buildings and runs. In tho next place the cost of food Is pot mote than one-half. But he says, he has to grow It. Much of It would be lost If tho hens did not pick it up, scattered around the buildings and In the fields after harvesting, when for several weeks a large flock can pick almost their entire living. Then he lias an occasional deacon for ani mal food, which we village and city poullrynien have to buy, and through out the whole year his bill for mill feed is greally reduced by what his liens can pick up. Even though lit! had to raise all his fopd, lie can pro duce II cheaper than others enn buy It. If the farmer charged his dairy with th« value of all tho hay aud grain fed it, and all the lulior expend ed In caring for it, he would g f > Into bankrutpey, and yet the farmer makes money In dairying. Somehow there is a difference, nnd a vast dif ference, whether a thing is produced or bought, u difference between WHY ONE SHOULD USE INCUBATORS IN WORK BIGGEST FARM ON EARTH. The incubator Is always ready. The Incubator hatches a larger) number of chicks than a hen. 4 Chicks may be reared more rapid i ly when there is no hen to Inter fere. The chicks may be brooded togeth er in large lotB, thus reducing the cost and trouble of rearing. Incuoator chicks art not hatched with lice on them, and need never be come lousy while being brooded. Your incubator is not addicted to tny of the caprices that biddy may :je addicted to, and they are legion. Incubator chicks are tamer and more tractable than chicks hatched by lit ns. This is a valuable con sideration. You do not wall Ip an Incubator o become broody,waste, time ind eggs In fin-lit,g out whether It D or not. It never leaves the eggs, nor tramples thorn, nor refuses to sit where' you place it, nor throws om ihe .eggs, nor kills the chicks after [hey are hatched. To hatch well, eggs must be from good, strong stock, fertile and fresh. They must not b<* subjected to chills,’ jarring, impure air, too great hear, loo much moisture; nor, as a rule, too continuous h-at. The tempera- lure of tho room should vary as lit tle ns possible. No machine can make pood hatches Iroin poor eggs—that is, those luckbig in fertility or high egg quality; and no machine can natch chicks strong enough to live if not. properly brood ’d afterward. Many have to learn by hard experience that brooding chicks is the greater sclt nee of the two. More incubator hatches are spoiled by the anxiety of the operator than any other one thing. Get the ma chine to going properly and then don't bother It, except to turn the eggs and fill and trim the lamp. If Ihe temperature rims up or down re set the regulator, but do not try to tiring the temperature back In live minutes.— , Said to Be David Rankin’s in Mis souri—He Guesses It's True. | Nearly forty years ago an Illinois farmer discovered that land on otic side of a state line was selling for $20 an acre, while he might buy any amount on the other side of the ima j ginary dividing mark for less than » | third that amount. Real estate men told the farmer than no railroad would ever go near the Missouri lands, but he sold his farm in Illi nois and bought all he could of the land at $0 an acre. Not long ago David Rankin, who is the man that bought the cheap acreage, took an Inventory of his possessions in tlie neighborhood of Tarklo, Mo. The Inventory showed 25,640 acres, 12,000 fattening hogs 9,000 cattle, 800 horses, more than 100 cottages, in which the employes of the big farm were housed, .great quantities of farm machinery and the like. The total figures up to something like $4,000,000 In value, says Hamp ton’s Magazine. That didn't Inclutli the 1,000,000 bushels of corn produced annually or the 150 miles of tilling and ditches, some of which had been draining the marsh lands of forty years ago. . "They say I'm the biggest farmer. In the world,” Rankin says, “and I guess It’s true. Lots of men have more land than I, but they use It for cattle ranges only. Mine is a farm." Rankin never rallies cattle or fur nlshea range. He buys the raw steers from (he plains and fattens them un til worth twice what he pays for th* "feeders,” as they are called. He never sells corn, because by feeding it to cattle, according to a minute I calculation of his own, he gets more ample returns. It Is forty miles from the nearest to the most distant of his farms. It Is held that harm has come to the grape from propagation by Its soft wood. It ought to be grown from cut tings or layers of the natural wood. The like is believed to be true of the rpse. NOT REALJSTIC. Author (after first performance) — "Well, what do you think of It, old man?" Crlticus—“Oh, 1 like it well enouga —with the exception of the vlllain'e part. Author—"What's wrong with It?” Crlticus—“It Is shv of realism. Why, he doesn't smoko a single el- "ire", a."—exchange. There are probably many excep tions to the rule, but the rule appears to be that the smaller poultry under takings are proportionately the more profitable ones. Increased attention is given under the smaller more than under the larger conditions. The great Idea with the farmer In using fertilizers !« eg to wt">‘t rr'uri a r will ge, from tha expoaar.ur". theory and teBt. Straw for litter for fowls to scratch In Is as neces sary as feed, and this the farmer gen erally has without expense. Chaff which la valueless for fodder Is Just Ihe thing for littler. In the next place the cost of labor is nothing to the farmer, which is an Important Item to the .professional poukryman. It Is a side line to the farmer, and the work if not done by himself, can be performed by his boy, or girl, who cun often be in duced to take an Interest In this de partment, In many cases the wife has taken hold of It and has put to shame the profits of the dairy, con sidering the Investment.
