QUESTION HE OBJECTED TO.
Victim of Cyclone Would Answer All
but One.
"Yes," replied the man from Arkan
sas when asked if he had ever ex
perienced any cyclones in his locality,
"I've been through a cyclone or two,
and I don't hanker after any more."
''Can you give us any particulars
about them?", was asked.
"Why, yes, a few. When the last
cyclone came along I was out in the
field plowing with a four-mewl team.
I started to run for cover, but I had
not gone more'n four rods when the
wind picked me up, and the next thing
I knew I was astride of the back of
one of them mewls, and we were-both
In a tree top, 50 feet above the ground.
The handles had been twisted out of
the plow and driven right through the
trunk of the tree and one of the other
mewls was hanging to them by his
tall." -
"That was a queer thing. And so
you were left in the tree top?"
"I was."
"And and "
"That's all."
"But I want to ask you "
"I don't care to say anything more."
"But look here," said the questioner.
"You were blown into a tree top along
with a mule and "
"Please don't press me sir."
'"But can't I ask you how you got
down?"
"Oh, yes, you can ask that and wel
come, and I'll answer you that some
fellers came along and chopped the
tree down. I thought you was going
to ask me if the wind blew my hat
band off and if I ever recovered it
again, and that's a question I hain't
going to answer for anybody." -Cleveland

SOUTHERN. FARM Q UOTES.
TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THE PLANTER, STOCKMAN AND TRUCK GROWER,
Seed Corn and Cotton Seed.
"Line upon line and precept upon
precept" .
Every year about this season we
urge upon our readers the importance
of careful selection of seed for next
year's planting, but we now have thou
sands of readers who did not see The
Progressive Farmer and Cotton Plant
at all last j-ear, and it will not hurt
the other thousands to jojj their mem
ories about this important matter. 1
Two or thre weeks ago Ave had an
excellent letter from Prof. Massey on
field selection of seed and corn, and
another important letter from Mr.
George Alien on selection of cotton
seed. Let us again call attention to
Mr. Allen's' plan for improving the
yield of cotton, for it is for our great
Southern staple crop that our farmers
select seed most recklessly. Says Mr.
Allen:
"Before sending pickers into the
field, the owner should pass through
every row. and tie a strip of white
cloth (say six inches long Dy half an
inch wide), on a top limb of every
stalk worth saving for seed, that is,
those most productive, eaviest in ripen
ing, and having- the largest, best
formed, find most numerous 1k11s.
Send a trusty woman ahead of the
pickers at each pickiug time, with In
structions to pick only from marked
stalks. Carefully spread the seed cot
ton until end of season, and be pres
ent when it is ginned in December.
Pay for these pickings bg the clay and
not by weight."
If one farmer (loos not need enough
seed to justify him in asking the ginner
to keep the seed from this superior
cotton separate from the rest, let him
join with his neighbors who select ih
best cotton from their fields, put ali
together, and gin for all at one time.
The United States Department of Agri-
Culture says it is best not to select
seed from the first or last picking; the
second picking is best.
Farmers show more anxiety to get a
good quality of seed corn than of cot
ton seed, but even here their efforts
are ofieir misdirected. It is custom
ary to go into the crib before planting
time and pick out the largest ears, and
while this method of selection is bettei
than none at all, there is yet a better
way. For the variety making the big
gest ear may be by no means the most
productive variety. Quite probably it
was thj only ear on tne stalk, while
a slightly smaller ear -which you have
rejected may represent a two-eared
or three-eared variety the stalk hav
ing these two or three smaller ears
shelling out a much larger fiuantity of
corn than the sialk with only one big
ear. Suppose, for example, that stalk
No. 1 has one large ear with 1000
grains. Stalk No. 2 has two ears with j
COO grains each 1200 grains as large
as those on stalk No. 3. Stalk No. li
has three ears averaging 430 grains
each 1350 grains as large as those on
No. 1 or No. 2. It is very easy to see
from which of these three stalks your
seed should be saved.
The right policy then is to go over
your field now and select your seed
corn for next year, taking the stalks
whose combined output is largest,
whether the output be the yield of on?,
two or three ears. If you go not haul
up your own corn, possibly the best
plan If to so over the fields at the
I proper time and cut off the selected
ears wnn aoout a loot or. staiit a dot
and below the ears. These can then ;
be distinguished from the other ears
when the corn is hauled up, and Hie
seed corn piled to itself to be shucked
nnd shelled whenever you please.
This work will require a little time
and attention, but it will bring you
handsome returns when your corn and
cotton crops are- gathered next fall.
Heaves or Asthma.
7. P. P. Can you tell me what to
do for my mule? She cougbs badly be
fore or about day every morning; rare
ly ever coughs during the day. Her
wind is all right. She is fat, in splen
did health and a splendid mule, about
twelve years old. I have a few times
heard a rattling in her throat. It don't
hurt her at all to work. Is a horse sub
ject to asthma?
Answer Heaves is also called
"broken wind" and "asthma," the three
names denoting the same affection.
The disease is usually associated with
disorder of the function of digestion,
or to an error in the choice of food.
Feeding on damaged hay or straw, too
bulky and innutricious food and keep
ing a horse in a dusty atmosphere or a
badly ventilated stable produce or pre
dispose to heave. Horses brought from
a high to a low level are predisposed.
A cough is usually the precursor, or
first symptom. I have little doubt that
your horse is developing this disease,
which, when fully established, is' in
curable. It therefore is advisable to
use every precaution to ward off the
impending attack. Feed so as never to
overload the stomach, taking care to
feed regularly three times a day. Al

Dysentery in Poultry.
Often during the heated term, and
in the early autumn, there are hen3
in the flock that take a disease of a
wasting nature; they have a watery
discharge that later becomes greenish,
their combs and wattles lose their red
ness, soon they become listless, will
not eat, waste away in body, and final
ly die. It is not very contagious, sel
dom becomes epidemic, and is not
cholera. It is dysentery, and if taken
in time may be cured.
Last summer we had two or three
fowls affected in this way in fact
we have a few most every year, but
we rarely lose any of them because of
prompt treatment after the following
manner:
In the first place, we put the afflicted
bird to herself and put some blue stone
(sulphate of copper) in her water. Not
much of it just enough to turn the
water a brackish color like stagnant
water say a piece as largo as a bullet
to a half gallon of water. This makes
of the water an astringent tonic. Then
we give her parched corn meal with
red pepper well stirred in it moistened
with thin gravy, or oily water from
beef stew. This beats her intestines
and checks the inflammation, and is
strengthening. If she is so weak she
will not cat, the water and the food is
put in her mouth, the latter in the form
of pellets as large as she can swallow.
Two or three days of this treatment
usually effects a complete cure. Wh-n
there is dysentery of this kind in a
brood of young chickens, they are put
in a dry place with the mother and
cared for in the same manner. South

Success With Sweet Potatoes.
As I have always had good success
in keeping sweet potatoes. I will give
methods of putting away. I built a
miall house, planking it up on the out-
sido with plain lumber; that is, with
out tonirues and grooves, and hanking
the earth around the house to keep the
water out. I put oak leaves in the
house to put the potatoes on. -Wo
cover the tubers all around and over
with the leaves, but not until there
is danger of the weather becoming
too cold for them without this. Until
the approach of very cold weather wo
spread over them an old quilt or some
thing similar, using the leaves when it
becomes quite cold. South end of
house i3 open all the time. Uy this
method our potatoes are easily housed,
they get thoroughly dry, and handy to
get at, and are much sweeter and bet
ter than when kept in any other way.
Have taken them up In mud and had
tnem keep perfectly. Thomas L. Kitt

Itxut In Cotton. ' -To
8. II. Boswell, Ashville, Ala.
You ask if I "know of anything that
will stop the rust in cotton," etc. My
answer is that I know of no remedy
that will cure the disease in cotton
which we call rust. It is not a fungus
disease, as some have supposed, but is
caused by some peculiar condition of
the soil. Many suppose that it is
caused by lack of potash in the soil,
and the remedy proposed is the appli
cation of a fertilizer containing a lib
eral percentage of potash. Hence the
liberal use of potash to soils known to
be subject to rust of cotton is exten
sively practiced. My own belief is
that the cause is not yet fully under
stood. I believe that rotation of crops
and liberal fertilizing with a properly
"balanced" fertilizer is the proper
course to pursue. Professor Soule.

Plea For Small Farms.
The Warrenton Record believes that
now is a time for small farms, and
makes the following sensible editorial
observation:
"With us the day of big farms, where
hundreds of acres are in cultivation,
is past, and this is the day of small
farms.' Here and there farms -will be
run on a large scale, but the tendency
is toward the' small farm of from one
to two horses, cultivating from ten to
fifty acres. The small farm means
intensive farming. The aim of .the
small farmer is to improve his land so
that one acre Will produce more than
three or four would under the old
system. This will mean larger profits
at less-expense and less labor."

Lone Good Roads Trip Ends.
After an itinerary covering 12,000
miles the National Good Roads special
train reached Chicago. The train felt
Chicago on May 25, carrying the-officers
and organizers of the National
Good Roads Association, and the dis
rectors of the Office of Public Inquir
ies of the United States Government.
Eight States in the West were covered
during the trip Wisconsin, Nebraska,
Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington and thirty -eight
conventions were held, organization of
good roads associations being effected
at all points. Seven railway systems
were traveled over on the long trip
the Chicago, and . Northwestern, the
Union Pacific, the Oregon Short Line,
the Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company, the Denver and Rio Grande,
the Colorado and Southern and the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe.
"This has been the most extended
and most practical campaign for good
roads ever completed in the United
States," said President W. II. Moore,
of the National Good Roads Associa
tion. "The Good Roads Special has
been a veritable college on wheels, and
will result in the economical expendi
ture of millions of dollars in the con
struction of earth, gravel and macadam
roads."
Immigration and Roads.
Immigration is a subject that seems
to be occupying a great deal of atten
tion in North Carolina at the present
time. The newspapers are discussing
the question vigorously in the hope of
reaching the best settlement of this
important problem for the State. The
matter grows more serious each year
and tho complaints of farmers partic
ularly and others who are largely de
pendent upon hired labor have in
duced our Senators in Congress and
our Governor to look carefully into the
matter, and they are recommending in
speeches and otherwise the importa
tion of desirable immigrants from Eu
rope. One of the first things to be consid
ered by a thrifty farmer from the old
world will be the condition of the pub
lic roads in the neighborhood in which
he will settle. In France, Germany,
England and many parts of Italy the
roads are of such character that the
products of the farm and garden can
can be easily and profitably carried
to market every day in the year. It
may not be at all surprising, there
fore, if the sections of North Carolina
where the highways are already im
proved secure the larger number of
the better class of immigrants we are
now endeavoring to induce to come
into th5 State.
This fact should inspire some of our
backward counties to make a move
ment in this direction before the tide
of immigration has already begun to
flow in other and more Tu-ogresjve
channels.
Proat From High-ways.
The land on both sides of the road
way can be planted with fruit trees of
various kinds. It will then become as
valuable as nn inclosed orchard in
fact, it will be an orchard without need
of an inclosure, for most States now
have laws which forbid allowing cattle
to run at large. This would not be an
experimental step, for it has already
been demonstrated that it can be sat
isfactorily taken. In a small way the
advantage of it have been shown in
one or two States of the Union, while
in foreign countries it has long since
become an established practice.
In France, for example, great success
has attended it. It appears that the
movement .was started by the Govern
ment, but 89 satisfactory did it prove
that the towns and communes soon
took Jt up on their own account. It is
now nn important industry and is
yielding a revenue of nearly $60,000,
000 per annum. No particular tree is
used, to the exclusion of others, but
different kinds are chosen with regard
to their adaptation to the soil and cli
mate. In the South the cherry pre
dominates, and the fruit is used in the
manufacture of wines, preserves and
alcohol. In Touraine the plum is most
in evidence, while throughout the Al
lier and LImbgne walnut trees trans
form the dusty highways into shaded
and beautiful walks and drives. -
Nor is France alone in the work, for
in Germany, in Belgium and In the
Duchy of Luxembourg, the plan is
largely in vogue, and it is profitable.
On the roadsides of Wurtemburg, for
instance, the fruit grown in 1878 was
valued at over $200000, while twenty
years later it was estimated at $750,
000, and Belgium statistics fehow that
up to 1806 there had been planted along
the highways of that small country
741,571 trees, frbm which there had
even then been realized a net profit of
nearly $2,000,000.
In the light of these facts, let some
competent and careful statistician tell
us what- might be done in this won
derful land of ours. Surely it Would be
safe to affirm that the revenue, which
might be derived from these roadside
trees would be sufficient for building
all nedeed highways, and for keeping
them in- constant repair. John A. Cass,
in the Country Calendar.

machine into a ditch. It turned com
pletely over, and he had a narrow
escape from death, being quite severe

The man may have been operating
"the automobile too fast, comments the
Buffalo Courier, but he thought quick

OPERATIONS AVOIDED
Two Grateful Letters from Women Who Avoided
Serious Operations. Many Women Suffering
from Like Conditions Will Be Interested.
When' a physician tells a woman, suf
fering from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary it, of
course, frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
tableland the knife strikes terror to
her heart. As one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death knell bad sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
It is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the oaly resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been enred by Lydia E. Plnkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per
formed. In faet, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make com- from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, have
eseaped serious operations.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
44 1 cannot find words to express mv thanks
for the good T,ydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did me. The doctor said I could
not get well unless I had on operation for
ovarian and female troubles. I knew I could
not stand the strain of an operation and made
up my mind I would be an invalid for life.

Hearing how Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable
Compound had saved other worn in from
serious operations I decided to try it, and in
less than four months I was entirely cured;
and words fail to express roy thankfulness."
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 8d
Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes:
Dear Mrs. Plnkham: -
"Loss of strength, extreme nervousnes,
severe shooting pains through the pelvlo
organs, cramps, bearing down paiDs and
extreme irritation compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making
an examination, said that-1 had ovarian trou
ble and ulceration, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this I strongly objected
and I decided as a last resort to try Lydi
E. Pinkhani's Vegetable Compound.
44 To my surprise the ulceration healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and lam one
more strong, vigorous and well; and I can
hot express my thanks for what it ha don
for me."
Ovarian and womb troubles are
steadily on the increase among women
and before submitting to an opera
tion every woman should try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.

For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms of female complaints,

Any woman who could read the many

efficiency of her advice and Lydia E.
