Saved From Being a Cripple for Life.
“Almost six or seven weeks ago I
tecame paralyzed all at once with
rheumatism,” writes Mrs. Louis Me
Key, 913 Seventh street, Oakland, Cal.
“It struck me in the back and extend
ed from the hip of my right leg down
to my foot. The attack was so sevefe
that I could not move in bed and
■was afraid that I should be a cripple
for life.
“About 12 years ago I received a
sample bottle of your Liniment but
never had occasion to use it, as I
have always been well, but some
thing told me that Sloan’s Liniment
would help me, so I tried it. After
the second application I could get
up out of bed, and in three days
could walk, and now feel well and
•entirely free from pain.
“My friends were very much sur
prised at my rapid recovery and I
was only too glad to tell them that
Sloan’s Liniment was the only med
icine I used.”

Taking Care of Tools.
The care of farm machinery is a
vital point with many farmers. You
will scarcely see one in twenty who
seems to think it worth his while
to take proper care of his farm tools.
No one can expect to make a success
of farming unless he has the proper
tools and keeps them in proper shape.
There is twice as much money paid
out for farm machinery as would be
necessary if the proper care was tak
en with implements. Every farmer
should have all the tools he needs,
and not have to be running over to
Mr. Jones' to get Mr. Smith's corn
stalk cutter. Nine times out of ten,
Mr. Smith has let Mr. Somebody Else
have it, st) there it goes. Time lost,
and time is money these days.
You don’t see a doctor or a dentist
running over to his neighbor’s office
to borrow some instrument, nor do
you ever see anything out of its place.
Doctors have a place for everything,
and as soon as they are through using
an instrument it is rubbed up and put
in its place. This is the first step to
success.
Now I don’t see why farming is not
and should not be just as successful
as any other calling. But it will never
be until the farmers take more pains
in keeping the proper machinery and
that in the best of shape.
Everyone who has ever farmed at
all knows what job it is to rig up
a cultivator wrhen you get ready to
plow corn in the spring. First, where
is the cultivator? It’s away over at
the back of the field where we quit
plowing corn last year; so here we
go with old Beck or Kate after it, hitch
to it and come poking back to the
house. We find that it has sweeps
on it; we want shovel plows. Now
where are they? We hunt around
for an hour or tw'o and find them in
a fence corner where the hired man
had thrown them down. They have
no bolts in them, and there is more
hunting to do, and maybe a trip to
the shop. So, after all is ready for
work, we have lost about half a day—
that means something.
This condition should not exist, and
as long as it does farming will not
be as successful as it should.—Farm
and Ranch.
Milk as a Popular Summer Drink.
Successful efforts have been made
to carbonate milk and use it as a cool
ing and refreshing summer beverage.
Interesting results have been reported
by the New York Experiment Station
at Geneva with fresh milk treated un
der pressure of 175 pounds to the car
bon-dioxide for the purpose of causing
the milk to foam of effervesce; delay
its souring, and render it fit for con
sumption at soft drink fountains and
similar places of refreshment.
The very thought is suggestive of
new and untried field for development
by dairymen who cater to the milk
trade of the larger cities. It is one
of the few avenues of an increase in
the consumption of milk that has been
suggested during recent years. Des
sicated or dried was the last of these
brought to the attention of the dairy
public. We suggest that this drink
will probably prove especially popu
lar in prohibition districts. When
pasteurized milk was carbonated un
der pressures of 70 to 175 pounds
and held at temperatures ranging be
tween 35 and 00 degrees the milk
kept sweet for four or five months.
Let us welcome the advent of carbon
ated milk.—Farm and Ranch.
One of the evils of the landlord and
tenant system is the exhaustion of
soils. Suffering must come from this.
Who travels over some old States
and sees whole counties deserted sees
what must come to us, unless we pre
serve soils and fertility. The owner
of a home can make It richer eacli
year. Tenants can not afford to do
so. Landlords can not. — Farm and
Ranch.
The farmer’s wife is a working
partner on the farm; she oug>. to
have her full share of the profits.
Now to Help Hold Crop*.
There are thousands of landlords In
the South owning cotton plantations
who could, if they would, be of vaiu
able assistance to the tenants in put
ting them on a cash basis and reducing
the credit system. The landlord call
furnish each tenant a certain amount
of cash each month during the plant
ing and cultivating season which will
meet the necessary requirements for
the needed supplies on each farm. A
general observance and adoption of
this rule by the average land owner
in the South who has his land culti
vated by croppers and tenants will
serve two good purposes, viz.: JX
would put each individual on the farm
on a spot cash basis and break up the
crop lein system and put the dispo
sition of the crop each fail in the
hands of the landlord. There would
be no mortgages to foreclose if the
cotton was not promptly sold and store
accounts liquidated. The crop from
each farm could be stored and the
warehouse receipts turned over to the
landlord, or enough to offset the debt
between the landlord and the tenant.
This cotton could either be held in
case of depression in the cotton mar
ket or sold slowly if the prices were
satisfactory. In addition to this it
would serve to give the land owners
better control of the management of
their farms and also encourage each
tenant or cropper to diversify and
raise more food supplies. The land
owners should encourage this policy
because it would mean better farm
methods, an improvement of the land
under a system of diversified argicul
ture and more prosperous and better
satisfied and contented tenauts.
A charge of ten per cent on the
money advanced by the land owner
to his tenants would give satisfactory
returns, and would be far better for
the tenant than paying forty to fifty
per cent on credit prices often charged
by the supply merchants. A land own
er furnishing money to his tenants
would naturally preach the doctrine of
diversification and economy, while the
average merchant will insist upon an
extensive acreage in cotton and en
courage as large accounts as the risk
will admit. We know of a good many
land owners who in recent years have
adopted this policy with their croppers
and tenants, and in every instance
such farms are on a self-sustaining
basis, and the business is strictly sat
isfactory to all concerned.—Winnfield
(La.) F. L7. Banner.
Waiting in Loneliness.
We believe there are no other peo
ple neglected so much as the aged men
and women who have lived out their
best days and are now waiting until
the summons come and call them up
higher. Too often we pass them by
not realizing that they are lonely and
that a kind word or pleasant greeting
w ould cheer them and make their lives
happier. In our great rush in a bus
iness way we too often pass them by
thoughtlessly, not appreciating the
fact that they have passed the
time when their minds are taken up
with business and they now so much
need a little recognition and attention
to keep them from feeling that they
are but little thought of or cared for.
These old people constitute the great
power today that leads the world heav
enward. We too often forget that these
old veterans have to a great extent
fought battles in this life that make
our lives happier. Don’t neglect the
gray-haired people that come about
your places of business, nor neglect
to speak a kind word to those you
meet. Cheer them along, and not only
will their remaining days be happier,
but your own life will be brighter and
better.—Sweetwater Reporter.
Demand for Long Staple.
It is not generally known to South
ern farmers that a new demand for
cotton requiring several hundred thou
sand bales annually has sprung up in
the last year or two. We refer to
the heavy and ever increasing demand
for good grades for the manuraccuie
of automobile tires.
It is estimated that the present de
mand from that source alone is be
tween 300,000 and 500,000 bales. Au
tomobile tires are very expensive, the
ordinary life being from four to six
months. There are hundreds of thou
sands of these tires now in use, and
the demand is increasing by leaps and
bounds. The high or low cost of a
pound of cotton is hardly felt by the
manufacturers. The demand is here
for all the cotton we can grow this
season at very high prices, and if
the farmers who grow both the short
and long staples will only market their
crops slowly and stand firmly together
in a demand for the true values, they
can whip the fight and secure a just
tribute for the products of their la
bor.—Cotton Journal.
It is the duty of every woman to
look as pretty as she can. Nature in
dictates that by her gift of beauty to
the sex. Those who happen to be not
beautiful of face, can become as at
tractive as any by lovliness of habit
and character. The most attractive
lady the writer knows, is really rather
ugly of face, owing to irregularities of
feature, but she is always the center
of attraction in any assembly.
Think of a farmer in debt, no home,
not thirty days from starvation, ex
cept as his merchant tides him over
—think of such a farmer trying to cor
ner cotton against the man who has a
corner on the money it takes to buv
the cotton. And there’s no way to break
that money corner without going into
Congressional and White House pol
itics.—Abilene (Tex.) Farmers’ Jour
nal.
It would be much easier for some
men to practice what they preach if
they would do less preaching.
Don’t Poison Baby.
v0RTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have
PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce
sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH
THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or
whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each
of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling
either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling
them “ poison.” The definition of “ narcotic ” is: “A -medicine which relieves pain
and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convul
sions and death." The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised
and sold under the names of “Drops,” “Cordials,” “Soothing Syrups,” etc. You
should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or
your physician know of what it is composed. CASTORIA DOES NOT CON
TAIN NARCOTICS, if it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher.
