Every woman naturally should be

women, unfortunately, are not, owing to
the unnatural condition of the lives we

bottle of some preparation supposed to be
particularly for them, and containing
nobody knows what. If they M'ould just
get a box otf Jirandrelh's Pills, and take
them regularly every-night for a lime, all

Profits in Raising Pork.
Tha editor of the Tampa Times is
a believer in the profits Gf hog rais
ing. He quite frequently recom
mends the pig as 'a profit maker, but
it is not the razorback, but rather a
cross between the native and some
improved breed. He cays:
"It is about time this methodical
newspaper was making another allu
sion to hogs and . the profit there is
and can be made in their production
in Florida. We .note that the prices
on the farms of the Northwest,, or
perhaps it would be more correct to
say at the railroad stations, are com
fortably about and above $6 per hun
dred. That is about the figure that
can be had for good smooth hogs at
stations in Florida, though we do not
have the well organized and perma
nent and unswampable markets those
wiser people and better managers
have in the more northerly section of
the country.
"Translated into argumentative
and persuasive tirms, this means that
a snug, smooth hog, a year old, 1n
good condition, weighing 200 pounds
and coBting its owner about $2 in
cash and about as much in labor,
would cash in for twelve good, hard
dollars. Now that looks like the
farmer who makes a specialty of
breeding and fattening swine would
make easy money out of the business.
It is true the business requires some
industry, pains and system. The pig,
to be a fit candidate for twelve dol
lars in the market, must be well brer,
that is to cay, at least belong half to
some apprcved pure strain of blocd
preferably the Berkshire, Poland or
Jersey Red, in about the order
named.
"Having secured a litter of such
pigs or several lifters the Florida
farmer should tightly enclose a suf
ficient pasture, with one or two cross
fences, dividing the land so it can
be planted in suitable feed for pas
ture and the swine turned from one
to the other as occasion may require.
Plenty of fresh and" pure water should
be provided so the animals can drhik
at will. While very young the pigs
should be fed swill made from cooked
meal, bran, grits, sweet potatoes and
such vegetables as may be handy.
They should always have as much as
they will clean up twice a day, poured
into troughs, cleaned out at least as
often as once per day. As soon as
large enough they should be fed
green forage stuff and vegetables.
Later pastured on peanuts and
chufas, fed oats, corn, cane and such
other stuff as may be produced on the
farm. At ten to twelve months old
they will weigh 200 pounds each and
be a smooth and even lot.
They can be sold then at S12 each,
or about S100 a wagon load, and he
is a rather poor specimen of a Florida
farmer who cannot manage after a
year or two of experience and drill
and preparation to turn off a hun
dred such pigs a year. The . total
cost of producing such an animal in
South Florida, including cash, fixed
charges, rent of land and labor, need
not exceed $4 or $5. That is the
whola story." Florida Agriculturist.
Ijeak For Farmers to Stop.
Various calculations have been
made about how many millions of
dollars Southern farmers lose every
year through the course of many of
them in leaving their cotton etposed
to the weather while holding it for
higher prices. Such careless people
also suffer heavy losses on cotton
seed. It seems that tobacco growers
similarly offend against thrift and
themselves, The following is from
the Mount Airy News:
"It is astonishing to see the condi
tion of the tobacco that is being sold
on this market. It does seem that
the farmers would see that they are
losing much money by bringing their
tobacco here in a damaged condition.
We stood on' the warehouse floor to
day (Wednesday) and saw the com
monest lugs sold for nine cents, and
the very next pile which appeared to,
be a fine grade of wrappers sell for
five cents. The last pile was badly
damaged, and not .of much value to
any one. Tobacco that is in good
condition is bringing in the neigh
borhood of ten cents around from
what we could judge by a careful ex
amination of the tobacco we saw sold.
But there is not less than half, of the
weed that is badly damaged."
If there was ever a time when any
farmer was unable to provide proper
shelter for his harvestings, that time
is now past, and we trust that losses
to the South through this cause will
henceforth diminish. Charlotte Ob
server. The Teach Tree Borer.
The borer which injures the peach
trees, sometimes killing them, is, like
a number of other tree enemies, by
no means formidable unless neglect

during the mild days when there is
no frost in the ground, to make ex
amination. The insect comes from
an egg laid on the bark close to the
ground. This hatches out, enters the
tree and lives on the inner bark, or
on the soft, new wood immediately
under, it. Its presence may be known
by the exudation of -something like
sawdust (which is the castings of the
insect), often mixed with gum, at the
collar of the tree. Removing a por
tion of the soil to facilitate cutting
into the tree, the little creature will
soon be found. In the operation- wc
always use a knife with a sharp point
and a strong, rather long blade. The
worm is generally about three-quarters
of an inch in length and of a dull
white color. It is soft and easily
killed. Sometimes it has to be fol
lowed two or three inches, which is
not difficult, as it leaves its track bo
hind. Frequently it works directly
downward, in which case the injury
done is slight; but at other times its
course is horizontal, and it may en
tirely girdle the tree. When found
and killed, the earth is tc be re
placed around the collar of the tree.
Way to Save Peas.
While down at McBean, in Rich
mond County, we saw a new way to
save peas. They do not try to pick
them. They pull up the vines and
pile them about in convenient places
in the field. Then with a sheet, they
go and beat out the peas from the
vines. Then they haul the vines
home for cow feed and litter for their
stables. During the scarcity of labor,
this is a good plan. But it Is better
to get a thrash with an attachment
for cleaning peas, and thrash them
out. Some of our pea-huller men will
have to adjust their machines for
cleaning tbem from the vines. One
merchant at McBean had shipped
four, carloads, and wc expect the fifth
ere now.
In talking to a negro, ho said: "I
sold my pea crop to-day. I only run
a one-horse farm, and I sold thirty
two bushels for 522.50. This helps
out one's income. There is no more
important crop for the Southern
farmer than peas. So we must learn
all we can about them, and raise all
we ean cf them." Southern Culti

The writer has used aspartioiis
along division and back fences where
it serves the double purpose of orna
ment and use. It softens and hides
the obtrusive division fence, with
its airy growth proving indeed orna
mental. It occupies ground that is
often not otherwise occupied and at
the same time such plantings can be
made to furnish a family s apply of
a. delicious vegetable. It is true
that with the attention usually given
the product is not comparable to the
truckers' product, but a fair article
may be so grown and as it is for
home consumption its smaller size is
not seriously in the way. Here salt
ing again answers a good purpose;
waste brines may bb put to use. This
combination of utility and ornament
in many instances is not desirable,

Tthe origin of the peairl in the shel?

considerable amount of investigation
and speculation. Among the more
recent studies of the subject may be
noted thosfl of M. Seurat recorded la

the Gambia lagoons, in the .South
Pacific, the pearls are due to a smal

No town will become a, good busi

men rely on a few merchants to make
the effort to bring trade to town. Too
often the men in a few lines of trado
are about the only ones that reach
out after custom. Other merchants
wait until these men induce the peo
ple to come to town and content them
selves with trade that naturally drifts,
to their place. A 'public spirited man
should ask himself if he is doing his
part to attract people to corns to
town to trade in helping the entire
business community, and no town is
a success unless all lines are working
to extend the trade as far as possible
and trying to bring a larger terri
