Children are seldom born diseased. They may be born with a tendency to disease because one or both par ents are suffering from it. • As we know, certain conditions favor the development of certain diseases. Place a child in conditions that have produced disease in the parents, and the tendency will be to produce the same disease in the child. So we sometimes find whole families die of consumption or diphtheria or something else, not because the dis ease was inherited or “caught.” but because the same condition ■ produce the same result in all ti e eases.— Nautilus.

This impression is correct ed by the statement of the well known scientist., John Burroughs, who says: “Most persons think that giving down or holding up the milk by the <ow is a voluntary act. In fact, (hey fancy that, the udder is a vessel tilled with milk and that the cow releases or withholds it just as she chooses. But the udder is n manufactory. It is filled with blood from which the milk is manufac tured while you milk. This process is controlled by the cow’s nervous system. When she is excited or in any way disturbed, as by a stranger or by taking away her calf or any other cause, the process is arrested and the milk will not flow. The nervous energy goes elsewhere. The whole process is as involuntary as is digestion in man and is disturbed or arrested in about the same way.”— Indiana Farmer.

Only 50c at Sumjnerville Drug Co, ONE DOLLAR A YEAR SEMINOLE The fourth of July has come and gone and some of the farm ers are not yet done chopping cotton, though most of them are nearly over the second time. Then is some cotton abandoned and will not be worked at all and some corn also. A great deal of corn land is not planted. Farmers are still planting corn, though it is very late. Where the corn can not be planted now within a few days I think it would be best to plant, or sow peas or sorghum for feed. We hiave had plenty of grass and still have a good deal, but if it remains fair the farm ers will soon get it all cleaned out. Some are already prophe sying a long drouth. If we should have a drouth we could not make much this year, for the crops are very full of sap on account of so much rain. The prospects are very sorry now for a good crop, though with good work and seasons from now on we may make a. pretty fair crop yet. But. nothing to com pare with what we could have made had everything been favor able. The farmers have had very little time to work this year since April 1. During the three months 1 do not think we have had more than thirty days to plant and do all the work that has been done. There had been some little prep aration before that time. We can not expect, to make good crops with but little work. 1 was at Summerville last Sat urday. The court, house is near ing completion and will be ready for our Superior court in Sep tember. We had a nice shower of rain Monday, the sth of July. Farmers are now busy trying to get through planting corn and sowing peas and sorghum and keeping the grass smothered down. We will hiave no lay by time this year. Just work on till September. G. A. RAGLAND.
