Number 1 Does the r BabyThrive If not, something must be wrong with its food. If the mother's milk doesn't nourish it, she needs Scott's Emulsion. It supplies the elements of fat required for the baby. If baby is not nourished by its artificial food, then it requires SCOTT'S i EMULSION Half a teaspoonful three or four times a day in its bottle will have the desired effect. It seems to have a magical effect upon babies and children. A fifty-cent bottle will prove the truth of our statements. Send this advertisement, together with name of paper in which it appears, your address and four cents to cover postage. and we will send youa "Complete Handy Atlas of the World.' SCOTF& BOWNE, 409 Pearl St., New York Tough Kid. "That youngster of yours seems to W be having his own way lately. You're Ti not as strict with him as you were." "No, it was a question of economy Ar with me." "Economy?" Al "Yes; every month I used to have to buy myself a pair of slippers, and the boy a rair of trousers."

Swamp-Root corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessit of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during th the night. The mild and immediate effect of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy- is soon realized. It stands the highest be- i13 cause of its remarkable health restoring h< properties. A trial will convince anyone. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and vi one-dollar size bottles. You niay have a tc sample bottle and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When writing mention rteading this gen- erous offer in this paper. Don't make PD any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root. and don't let a dealer sell you something in place of Swamp-Root-,i if you do you will be disappointed. vi Why She Waited. An old woan red nosed and in rags, stood in front of a pawnshop that , was burning down. The flames threw weird lights on her, and she cried and wrung her hauds piteously. th "What is the matter with you?" a at fireman asked. "You don't own the re shop, do you?~" "No," she wailed. "But my old man's Sunday suit is up that spout, and he es don't know it." th w If You .kead This It will be to learn that the leading medi- y cal writers and teachers of all the several 00 schools of practice recommend, in the strongest terms possible, each and every ingredient entering into the composition of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for the cure of weak stomach, dyspesa catarrh of stomach, "liver complaint," i torpid liver, or biliousness, chronic bowel a' affections, and all catarrhal diseases of whatever region, name or nature. It is also a specific remedy for all such chronic or long standing cases of catarrhal affec- tions and their resultants, as bronchial, at throat and lung disease (except consump- st tion) accompanied with severe coughs. It is not so good for acute colds and coughs, but for Iingerin gor chronic cases it is especially ellicacious in prodiucing per- e' feet cures. It contains IBlack Cherryhark, th Golden Seal root.

"Farmer" Advocates Paying the Hired Hand $1.50 and Charging for Extras. Along with all other sections of the country the south is suffering from the scarcity of farm labor, and more than any other section because such a large percentage of her white rural population, male and female, is unac- customed to helping themselves in the kitchen or on the farm. Conse- quently we suffer more from the loss of labor than those parts of the coun- try where the people know how to do their own work. One of the many problems which confronts us is how to make the farm more attractive to the laborer, even though he be a negro, and show him that his Interests and comfort both lay more on the plantation than on the public works. We think farm wages are, say, a third higher than they were a few years ago, because we pay, possibly, one-third more in cash, and, like the laborer himself, fail to take his per- quisites into the account and then be- lieve, as he does, that because the railroads, mines and public works gen- erally pay $1.50 per day that they pay twice as much as we fa-mers pay. We forget that while he receives these wages he boards and lodges himself and pays for everything he gets, and that as a matter of fact the farmer, when the perquisites (rent, fuel, gar- den, etc.), are considered and esti- mated at fair prices, pays as much as the public works. Nor do we stop to consider that ev- ery man, white or black, likes to han- dle money, hear it jingle in his own pocket and realize that it is his, if even for a little while. Few men at- tach value to the perquisites of their business, trade or labor. They count the cash as all they get, and this is most true of people in the humble walks of life. On railroad work a man receives, say $1.50 per day, which (for 26 days) is $39 per month, but experience shows that he loses at least four days per month from bad weather and oth- er causes, which will reduce his tmie to 22 days and his pay to $33. Now, on the farm, we pay this man $12, where we formerly paid him $8, and furnish him with rations, a house, fuel, garden, pasturage for his cow and allow him to keep chickens and a pig. Now, suppose we pay this man the same he gets on the railroad, viz.: $1.50 per day, and that he makes 22 days per month, or $33, and him the money in cash and charge him for what he gets, say, per iuith: House rent and garden ........$ 6.00 Fuel, two cords of wood at $2.. 4.00 Rations, 20 cents per day...... 6.00 Pasturage for cow............. 1.00 Privilege of keeping chicekns.. 1.00 Privilege of keeping pig......- .50 Total ............- .. --------$18.50 and in that way we get back $18.50 of the $33, leaving a balance of $15.50. Then do as they do in the north and west, charge him hire for your horse and carry-all or buggy when he uses them, Instead of lending them as you do now. When he is sick or out of place pay to the farmer, for what are now perquisites will go on. Pay the man the money and let him feel that it is his. Then collect for what he owes and do not "butt" accounts in the monthly settlement. A man receiving $20 per month Is entitled to $20 or $30 credit, and cir- -umstances will arise when he will be obliged to avail himself of his .credt. But if this hecessity should rise, the landlord, If he deems it advisable, can always secure himself by a bill of sale on the cow, the pig and the chickens, and need not run nore than the ordinary business ris-k n the transaction. -Another matter worthy of consider- rtion is that this plan of employing la- bor will do a great deal towards the -education of the negro and will bring him to a realization of the fact that it costs something to live and that'it rests with him and not his employer to support his family. Many successful farmers in the north and west follow the above plan and like it.-Farmer, in Progressive Farmer. Estimates of the cost of spraying trees are always interesting, because so many farmers are planning to begin the practice, while those who are now spraying are looking for opportunities to cut down the cost. WV. A. Orton of the United States department of ag- riculture finds that the material for spraying one hundred trees with Bor- deaux mixture and paris green can be had at $2 to $3, and finds that the cost of application is likely to equal the cost of materials. A number of records which he has on hand of the actual expense incurred in spraying orchards shows the cost to vary from 20 to 30 cents per tree for the entire season with three to six sprayings, which does not, however, include the costly and troublesome operation of spraying for the scale pest. To plow, sow, cultivate, raise and handle the grain from which most of our *ork and beef is produced calfs for an army of laborers, while to at- tend to, provide and care for a flock of sheep requires the least, and thus seems to fit the prevailing economic Ideas of the present time of hiring as little farm help as consistency 'will permit. The record for lowest cost of pork production is held by the south.- IProf. Jnhn Michels. FARMERS' EDUCATIONAL U1 CO-OPERATIVE UN I - -F ANERICA - READY FOR PEACL "They Cry 'Peace Peace,' but There Is No Peace." The farmers, under the leadership Df the Farmers' Union, have put up such a fierce fight against the specu- lative 'interest for the last four years that they (the speculators) are ready to treat for peace, but boys, they are cot willing for us to name the terms. We have fought them until they have decided that we were a power to be reckoned with. At first they laughed at us. They made fun of us. Now they are coming to us and say- ing, "let us reason together abou! these things," but it is not yet time to consider peace. We must prepare for the most terrific battle this fall that has ever been known between two great financial interests. The spec- ulators when they find that we will not treat on their terms, will prepare to stake all on that battle, and it Is up to us to decide whether we will surrender on their terms or fight as we have never fought. Shall we surrender? No, never. Then we must prepare for battle. This preparation should begin with the beginning of this year. The farm- ers should stay out of debt, and should plant plenty of home supplies. Leave off buying the buggy un'Iess you have the cash to pay for It, but above ev- erything plant your home supplies. Re- member that trenched behind the breast-works of home supplies, with your guns of co-operative enterprises trained on the enemy, there Is abso. lutely no chance for you to lose in the fight. Shall we thus prepare and stand to. gether? Yes, every patriot, every home-loving citizen, every man who from the depths of his heart, pledged to support a wife and family will pre. pare for the battle.-Union City, Ga., Union News. Help your neighbor to keep away' from the mortgage upon them this year. The proper handling of a farm calls for thought as well as work. It pays to study every field and crop. Follow the rains with a split log drag and you will help cut down the item of transportation on your stuff. Don't commence the season withous a pig or two in the pen. You will find that you have use for him a little later on. Your Local is what you make it, and if it is not an interesting place to go, you and your neighbors are to blame for it. The waste of the farm will pay the interest on a mortgage if handled right. Weeds may be turned into 7e lambs and mutton. East, Central and South Texas will not plant so much cotton this year, but the Panhandle -sections will broad- en the area somewhat. They are going right along in the Northwest consolidating the public schools, getting better teachers, better houses and longer terms of echool. Every sucker on your trees is a tas on you. Let your motto be, "Million: for defense, not a cent for tribute.' Get out your poeket knife for this sort of tribute raisers. The good Union man has no time to "run the whole community," but he has plenty of time to be neighborly and helpful to all around him. Are you a good Union man? The plan for this year is to tillt less number of acres of cotton, rals less and get as much money for: small crop as is usual for the bumper crops. The biggest thing many farmers cau do this year is to use better seed thai they have been in the habit of using Seed is the first step, and let the firs' step be taken right. Half the money spent each yea, for wagons could be saved if better care was taken of the old ones. Make it a rule not to leave the wagon out of doors overnight. Don't let the summer come on an4 your cistern remain still unscreened. Fevers are generated in uncovered cis- terns by the small and industrious mosquito "while you sleep." The man who has a good garden, an orchard, a few cows and plenty o1 hens -isn't worrying about the price of cotton, and if he has some, in the warehouse, he isn't in any sort of a hurry about getting it out. Trim shade trees high, and trim fruit trees low. The shade trees want to be high enough for under-ventila. tion, while the fruit trees must be low to make the picking easy, and to pre. vent breaking down in the high windE and under heavy fruitage.

One of the first things the farr must learn is that soils differ grea as to the kinds and quantities of plant foods they contain. This see to be one of the hardest things impress upon the farmer. Over i over again the mistake is made buying a fertilizer because it I given good results when applied certain farms. In fact many of fertilizer sellers put out literature t has for its base the testimonials growers showing how many potat were grown, or how much of ot] things were grown, as a result of use of the fertilizer.

HANDLING HIRED LABOR.

"Farmer" Advocates Paying the HiredHand $1.50 and Charging for Extras.

Along with all other sections of thecountry the south is suffering from

the scarcity of farm labor, and more

than any other section because sucha large percentage of her white ruralpopulation, male and female, is unac-

customed to helping themselves inthe kitchen or on the farm. Conse-quently we suffer more from the lossof labor than those parts of the coun-

try where the people know how todo their own work.One of the many problems which

confronts us is how to make the farmmore attractive to the laborer, even

though he be a negro, and show himthat his Interests and comfort both

lay more on the plantation than on

the public works.We think farm wages are, say, a

third higher than they were a few

years ago, because we pay, possibly,one-third more in cash, and, like thelaborer himself, fail to take his per-quisites into the account and then be-lieve, as he does, that because therailroads, mines and public works gen-erally pay $1.50 per day that theypay twice as much as we fa-mers pay.We forget that while he receives thesewages he boards and lodges himselfand pays for everything he gets, andthat as a matter of fact the farmer,when the perquisites (rent, fuel, gar-den, etc.), are considered and esti-mated at fair prices, pays as muchas the public works.Nor do we stop to consider that ev-

ery man, white or black, likes to han-dle money, hear it jingle in his own

pocket and realize that it is his, ifeven for a little while. Few men at-tach value to the perquisites of theirbusiness, trade or labor. They count

the cash as all they get, and this ismost true of people in the humblewalks of life.On railroad work a man receives,

say $1.50 per day, which (for 26 days)is $39 per month, but experienceshows that he loses at least four daysper month from bad weather and oth-er causes, which will reduce his tmieto 22 days and his pay to $33. Now,on the farm, we pay this man $12,where we formerly paid him $8, andfurnish him with rations, a house,fuel, garden, pasturage for his cow

and allow him to keep chickens anda pig. Now, suppose we pay this manthe same he gets on the railroad,viz.: $1.50 per day, and that he makes22 days per month, or $33, and himthe money in cash and charge himfor what he gets, say, per iuith:House rent and garden ........$ 6.00Fuel, two cords of wood at $2.. 4.00Rations, 20 cents per day...... 6.00Pasturage for cow............. 1.00Privilege of keeping chicekns.. 1.00Privilege of keeping pig......- .50

Total ............- ..--------$18.50and in that way we get back $18.50of the $33, leaving a balance of $15.50.Then do as they do in the north andwest, charge him hire for your horseand carry-all or buggy when he usesthem, Instead of lending them as youdo now. When he is sick or out ofplace pay to the farmer, for what arenow perquisites will go on. Pay theman the money and let him feel thatit is his. Then collect for what heowes and do not "butt" accounts inthe monthly settlement.A man receiving $20 per month Is

entitled to $20 or $30 credit, and cir--umstances will arise when he willbe obliged to avail himself of his.credt. But if this hecessity should

rise, the landlord, If he deems it

advisable, can always secure himselfby a bill of sale on the cow, the pigand the chickens, and need not run

nore than the ordinary business ris-kn the transaction.-Another matter worthy of consider-

rtion is that this plan of employing la-bor will do a great deal towards the-education of the negro and will bringhim to a realization of the fact thatit costs something to live and that'itrests with him and not his employerto support his family.Many successful farmers in the

north and west follow the above planand like it.-Farmer, in ProgressiveFarmer.

Estimates of the cost of sprayingtrees are always interesting, becauseso many farmers are planning to beginthe practice, while those who are now

spraying are looking for opportunitiesto cut down the cost. WV. A. Orton ofthe United States department of ag-riculture finds that the material forspraying one hundred trees with Bor-deaux mixture and paris green can behad at $2 to $3, and finds that thecost of application is likely to equalthe cost of materials. A number ofrecords which he has on hand of theactual expense incurred in sprayingorchards shows the cost to vary from20 to 30 cents per tree for the entireseason with three to six sprayings,which does not, however, include thecostly and troublesome operation ofspraying for the scale pest.

FARMERS' EDUCATIONALU1

CO-OPERATIVE UNI - -F ANERICA -

READY FOR PEACL

"They Cry 'Peace Peace,' but ThereIs No Peace."

The farmers, under the leadershipDf the Farmers' Union, have put upsuch a fierce fight against the specu-lative 'interest for the last four yearsthat they (the speculators) are readyto treat for peace, but boys, they are

cot willing for us to name the terms.We have fought them until they

have decided that we were a power tobe reckoned with. At first theylaughed at us. They made fun of us.

Now they are coming to us and say-ing, "let us reason together abou!these things," but it is not yet timeto consider peace. We must preparefor the most terrific battle this fallthat has ever been known betweentwo great financial interests. The spec-ulators when they find that we willnot treat on their terms, will prepareto stake all on that battle, and it Isup to us to decide whether we willsurrender on their terms or fight aswe have never fought.Shall we surrender? No, never.Then we must prepare for battle.

This preparation should begin withthe beginning of this year. The farm-ers should stay out of debt, and shouldplant plenty of home supplies. Leaveoff buying the buggy un'Iess you havethe cash to pay for It, but above ev-

erything plant your home supplies. Re-member that trenched behind thebreast-works of home supplies, withyour guns of co-operative enterprisestrained on the enemy, there Is abso.lutely no chance for you to lose in thefight.Shall we thus prepare and stand to.

gether? Yes, every patriot, everyhome-loving citizen, every man whofrom the depths of his heart, pledgedto support a wife and family will pre.pare for the battle.-Union City, Ga.,Union News.

INTELLIGENT FARMING.

Different Treatment is Needed for Iferent Soils.
