Elkhart, Ind DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills FOR BACKACHE GRADES OF COTTON FIXED BY REPORT. Washington.-Recommending that the standards of the different grades of cotton as fixed by them be adopted as the official classification of the government, the committee of expert cotton classifiers designated by the sec retary or agriculture to assist him in establishing a standard,' have made their report to the ] latter. The committee has made up types representative of the nine different grades to be des ignated middling fair, strict good middling, good middling, mid dling, strict low middling, low middling, strict good ordinary, and good ordinary to be the of ficial standard The recommendation is made that in view of the confusion that might arise in case the standards were promulgated at once, that they should not go into effect un tin September 1, 1910, it also is recommended that efforts should be made to secure the eo-operatio of foreign exchanges in connect ion with the standards. The further recommendation it made that congress enact legisla tion penalizing anyone tampering with the standards, which are to be kept locked up at the depart ment of agriculture. Secretary Wilson still has the report of the committee under advisement. FIGURE IT OUT A banker going home from his dinner saw a $lO bill on the curb stone. He picked it up and noted the number and went home to dii ner. While at home his wife re marked that the butcher had sent a bill amounting to $lO. The only money he had with him was the bill he had found, which he gave to her, and she paid the butcher. The butcher paid it to a farmer for a calf, and the farmer paid it to a merchant, who, in turn, paid it to a washerwoman, and she, ow ing the banker a note of $lO, wen to the bank and paid the note. The banker recognized the bill as the one he had found, anil whicl up to that time had paid SSO of debts, he discovered the bill was counterfeit.

Maerie, head of 1 the reception committee for the I National Association of Retail Milliners, sounds the death knell of the broad-brimmed hat. “IU is not the mode correct,” says madame, ‘‘and femininity, subset vient ever to the edict of the mil liner, humbly bows to the decree.

The Mistake of too Much Land. 1 The mistake is very generally made by Southern farmers of trying to cultivate too much land ~ To one who travels much in the j , South at this season with his eyes open, and observes the diminival ( cotton plants of last year’s growtl and the slender corn stalks in many of the fields the evidence is conclusive that much of the ' land has not produced enough to pay the cost of cultivating. It would be better to fence out these unprofitable portions and use them for what they are worth as stock range, and concentrate the labor and expense of cultivat ing them upon more fertile por tions o fthe land. There is a mistaken pride in having a large number of acres in cultivation. We would not limit anyone’s capacity for large affairs, but there is no occupa tion that requires such close at tention to every detail by the owner as the work of the farm if the best results are to be ob tained from it. Better get two bales from one acre than the same amount by spreading the work over six acres. Better obtain 100 bushels of corn from one acre thar cultivate half a dozen with the same result. There is very little land that is not worth something as pasture or range for stock of some kind and whatever value can be ob tained from it in that way is without extra expense, and adds that much to the profits in the final wind up at the end of the year. The farmers who are succeeding best are those who are putting more work and better cultivation on smaller areas. Give more at tention to details and always witl the end in view to improve the fertility.—Southern Fruit Grow er. If you need a pill take DeWitt’s Little Early Risers.

No Great Rush A number of weeks after an old man was appointed postmastei of a small village, says a writer in the Philadelphia Bulletin, the villagers and their friends began to complain about the mails. An inspector investigated the matter . and found out that the postmaste had sent out no mails siuce his > entrance into office, and pointing to the hundred dusty letters that the postmaster had kept by him, said, sternly "Why on earth didn’t you let I these go?” "I was waiting till I got the i bag full,” said the old man, with a gentle smile.

HUDSON The recent cold weather that prevailed over Georgia and was • keenly felt in the northern por- i tion will not damage the peach crop, according to reports re ceived by State Commissioner of Agriculture, Thomas G. Hudson. ‘‘The premature buds that were slightly damaged did not include one percent of the entire crop and the bios soms that were hurt w’ere those which would have been a burden to the trees and would naturally have fallen off when the peaches formed,” says the state commissioner. ”The cold helped the crop more than anything else could have done as it has prevented more serious damage which would have followed if the weather con tinued warm and cooler weather followed later.” Kindness is one or the purest traits that find a place in the hu man heart. It gives us friends where ever we may chance to wai der. To show kindness it is not necessary to gi e large sums of money or to perform some won derful deed that will immortalize your name. It is the word of sympathy to the discouraged and disheartened. Kindness makes sunshine wherever it goes; it is the real law of life, the link that connects earth with heaven. Would you live in the remem brance of others after you are gone? Write your name on the tablets of their hearts by acts of kindness and love. The noblest revenge we can make upon our enemies is to do them a kindness, i C. R.

Bean the H 3,8 A ' W3 ’ S of fotiyskidkeycerb Maa.s Kidney* *nd Bladder Right Your Cotton Crop Can Be Increased It costs no more to cultivate an acre that produces i two bales of cotton than an acre which produces only one-quarter of a bale. Why not see what you can do i with Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers Other men have been able to double and more than double their yield per acre with a liberal application of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers. Messrs. Lucas & Jackson of Kelsey County, Tenn., used Vir ginia-Carolina Fertilizer on about 55 acres planted with cotton, and say: “We have the finest crop of cotton we ever saw, and all the people around here think the same. We actually counted 447 bolls on one stalk. Another stalk had by actual count 409 bolls, forms, squares and blossoms. On about 8 acres we expect to make about 2 bales to the acre, and an estimate of adjoining farms not so fer tilized and under other cultural methods, will yield only 1 bale to five acres.” An interesting picture of the cotton plants referred to will be found in the new 1909 Virginia-Carolina Farmers’ Year Book, copy of which may be had from your fertilizer dealer, or will be sent free, if you write our nearest sales office.
