y- "?t. Farm Department I* ?k? bl?r?Bli mi THom la Africattmral P?r?uit? Comdmcl+4 by J. U Br.ly A Compost Hasp. Time now, It you have not alread 4one so, to adopt the intensive m< thod by starting the compost heaj It you hare never tried on? It wil pay to do ao and thus tncreew* th capacity of your land to produce bei tor crops. I would place my con post heap tn some inoonsplcuou place about the back yard, or bar! yard, it may be square or clrcula In form, and of any size. Six fee In diameter la a good dimension First, if convenient, I would ujte i layer of sod as a foundation, am on that build up a heap composed o tho various fertilizing wastes of th< house and yard. These wastes an of many k'nds, j>nd the more the; are uilxed in the heap the better Fro in the house come the ashes which are rich In potash, phosphorui arid lime; then there are tho kitch on wastes, consisting of the soap suds from washday, the daily dial water, and all kii:ds of scraps anc offal which <annot be profitably fe< directly to the pigs nr chickens From the yard come the i?aves rak ed from the lawn and the dead gram and weeds; the small chips fron the wood-pile, and various debrii that accumulates about every dwell Inc. Use plenty of absorbents t< prevent fermentation by using aoc or simply earth, to be layered it with the various wastes. It will pre vent the formation of offensive odors and will result in a much better bal anced fertilizer. In putting ashes or the heap, the rule must not be for gotten never to place them in con tact with the stable manure, o| which latter a layer may occasional jy oc tium'ii. ai?u csrotui iiunc^ uiuc be taken that enough sod and eartl) and dry waste be regularly added tc thoroughly absorb the liquids. ll my first heap becomes too high for convenience I start another. Thest heaps gradually decompose and forni concentarted fertilizer of high value. After standing for several monthf 1 would spade over and form intc another heap. And by doing this 1 thoroughly mix all ingrdelentg. and quicken decomposition and mak< their strength uniform as a fertili Ttr. Now I find the compost hear a saving and sanitary method of dis posing of the waste products aboul the house and yard. And composl thus made makes a splendid fertilizei to apply to early garden crops. Its equal in commercial fertilizers wou'J call for quite a large cash outlay and the compost heap turns the wastes of Hit* farm Into money by going to a Utile trouble; and at thf saiiic lime ycu are keeping youi back yard und grounds neat and clean and free from unsightly trasl and bad odors. So by all meanf make you a compost heap and ullllzt the wastes and by-products of youi farm.?Utcrge R. Proctor, in South ern Huralist. Get Ready. Gel ready to farm! This may aeem like uncalled for advice to men who are supposed to be farm ing already. The truth is, however, that many men who have no other business than the growing of rrops are not really farming. They are la boring under a delusion. They think they are farming, and many other people entertain the same misappre hension. They are in reality, how ever, only making believe farm. They are doing a few things on f<irms and really believe that the j result is farming, when it Is really ! the merest apology for farming. Scratching the land three inches deep with a baljy toy plow just be fore planting time is not farming. Leaving the soil bare of all vegeta tion and subject to heavy washing winter rains Is not farming. Burn ing off dry vegetation to get it out at the way of pigmy plows In the spring is not farming. Plowing around stumps year after year when a few hours' work would get them o*t of the way forever Is not farm ing. Letting from 10 to 25 per cent of your land be occupied by stumps and fence hedges which a little ef fort and sense would convert Into your best tillable land is not farm ing. Working a 6-inch strip of 6oil to a "through" for each man and team is not farming. All really good farmers will affirm the truth of these assertions. Even most of the men actually doing these wasteful and futile things will hard ly dispute the jusGce of criticism. Yet these very things, and others equally unfortunate, constitute the dally practice on thousands of South ern farms.?Southern Kuraiist. Our sweetest songs are those that tell of sa"est thought.?Shelley. i Improving the Breed. Doubtless It la true that whin ti?< house of Brunswick, the present r<-ig Ing dynasty of Great Brltian, acqulr ed the throne, nearly two centurl? ago, there was not a single bullocl J of any age fit for the butcher wtthli all the land "girt by the four seas' that would weigh 600 pound? gross Now bo Kngltsli fatted steer, years old or over, goes to the butch er under 1,600 pou* '? In weight, an< many of them re?oh 2,000 pounds o II upwar' n This la the result of the applies tlon of the law of nature we <*&1 t "the survival of the fittest," and I s applies to all other of the lower anl n mals domestic.

What has been accomplished in th( intelligent and perslsten' breeding j of domestic live stock-horses, cattle I sheep, poultry, and swine?is amaz j ing, and a movement Is on foot ev erywhere In our land to make ever . a more wonderful revolution In the j vegetable kingdom. The selection ! and adaptation of seeds?corn wheat , oats, rye, clover, alfalfa?challenges . the emulation of our farmers, and ) the time is rapidly passing when 1 seeds will not be selected at ran [ dom. When the same attention is paid i to grain?the improvement of Its . yield and the test of its virility? i pig, In a very short while the yield - per acre of every grain w'U be dou bled and tripled on many farms; and [ on some, quadrupled.

Can Easily be Made Fascinating and Luxuriant. On April 2, 1910, Mrs. R. M. Wor flen, 5 St. James Ave.. Holyoke, Mass.. wrote: "Parisian Sage is the best hair dressing I ever used. It save my hair life and a gloss which no other dressing ever did, besides stopping it from' falling out. It Is the only dressing for up-to-date wo men." Parisian Sage is guaranteed by Hood Bros, to cure dandruff, stop Falling hair and itching scalp in two weeks, or money back. It makes hair g'ow lustrous nr.d luxuriant. It Is a delightfully refreshing hair lr< sslng, not sticky or greasy and will immediately banish all odors. Large bottle GO cents at druggists bverywhere, and at Hood Pros. The girl with the Auburn hair is on ev ery package. The South Coming to Her Own. The South Is at last coming to her own. She will produce enough corn for homo consumption this year?for '-he first time since the war. South Carolina heads the list. She will produce 50,000,000 bushels. This is 13,000,000 bushels more than was grown in 1909, and 21,000,000 bush els over the yield in 1908. This is coming some. Then a 15-year-old . boy, Jerry Moore, of Winona, S. C., holds the yearly record with a yield of 228 bushels from an acre. Georgia j is ijot far behind, she has an increase of something like 10,000,000 bushels, and a record yield of 195 bushels on an acre of sandy land. Alabama too has a bumper crop. Even the ne groes who only plant corn along In their cotton made a good crop and It Is asfe to say Alabama has some 5,000,000 bushels more than in 1909 Mississippi will make about enough to do her, something unhear' of be fore. In the North and West the yield Is great and not having the South to unload her surplus upon, lias run the price down In Chicago from 76 fents to 46 cents per bush el. Meat has tumbled 6 cents *? pound within three weeks, and beef has followed suit. These are the conditions that confront us to-day, but no Southern farmer should let the lower price of corn cause him to plant one acre more of cotton or one acre less in corn. We should always k?ep It In mind to feed our selves, then clothe as many as we can; Blnce It is only through this method that the money from our cotton will do us the most good. Wo glory in this year's yield of corn In the South and we sincerely trust the yield will never be less, but increase some year by year, through the agen cies of better seed selection and lar ger yields per acre, as well as through Increased acreage.?The Sou thern Cultivator. Itch relieved In 30 minutes by Woolford's Sanitary Lotion. Never falls. Sold by Hood Bros., Druggists. Pruning. Tbe season has come (or the (rait grower to think about hi* pruning , Tb?rf are several practices that mak g (or the production of better (roll and pruning to one of them. Man) a people consider the cutting away ol , j the limbs of a tree unnatural and in Jurious to the plant. Did they evei ,, , stop to think that treeB are pruned in nature and that such pruning If j done with no gentle hand? Whai makes the squirrel hole in a treel r ; Surely tlie little animal did no' gnaw and fashion it out himself; sol ! at all; where the knot hole la there was a limb and It was pruned away by some natural means, as>a sleet storm or a high wind. Instead ol ^ the wound being neat and smooth ard painted for protection 1t wan Jagged and and rough, Just the place for (ungl to enter to rot the tree. [ So would our orchards be full ol squirrel holes and rotten trees II ! we did not prune ahead o( nature. Then again tbe main aim o( all plants is the reproduction of the 1 species while the desire of the fruit grower is the production of 1 fruit, such large, fine fruits that they really are abnormalities. The ' little, hard, wormy peach on the ' neglected tree in the corner o( the ' (ence may reproduce other species as well and possibly better than the (in? Elberta (rom the orchard, but 1 It will not sell as well on the mar 1 kets o( the city. ' We prune them to keep our trees ' in shape and to increase the size 1 and quality o( our (ruit, and we must prune every year or our tree will get too large and have too many limbs, bo that when we do work ov er them there will be 6o much wood to cut out that the shock will be too much for them and the resulting crop will be water sprouts instead of fruit.?Southern Ruralist. I J CURE CATARRH. It's Easy, Pleasant, and Costs But a Trifle. How many readers of The Smith field Herald know that in Inland Aus tralia where the mightiest of eu> alyp tus trees grow in abundance, that there is no consumption, catarrh or diseases of the respiratory tract. The refreshing balsam thrown out by these trees fills the air and is breathed Into the lungs by the in habitants and all germ life is de stroyed. If you have catarrh you cannot go tc Inland Australia except at great expense, but you can breathe right m your own home the same pleasant, soothing, healing, germ killing air you would breathe it you were liv ing In the eucalyptus district of Aus tralia. Just breathe HYOMEI; it is m^do from Australia eucalyptus and scien tifically combined with thymol and other Listerlan antiseptics. Pour a few drops of HYOMEI into the Inhaler and breathe it. As it passes over the catarrh infected mem brane It kills the germs and heals the raw, inflamed surface. HYOMEI is guaranteed to cure catarrh, coughs, colds, croup and sore throat, or money back. Com plete outfit including inhaler $1.00. Extra bottles of HYOMEI cost but 50 cents. Sold by Hood Bros., and druggists everywhere. To break up cold in head or chest In a few minutes, pour a teaspoonful of Hyomei into a bowl of boiling wa ter, cover head and bowl with tow el and breathe the vapor. It is better to be a self-made man? filled up according to God's original pattern?than to be a half man, made after some other man's pat tern.?J. G. Holland. When you have a cold get a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It will soon fix you up all right and will ward off any tendency toward ptieamonia. This remedy contains no ?liium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. Sold by all dealers.
