Farm and Fireside.
Mr. Goodwin's Work.
Mr. O. P. Goodwin, of Laurens, in
charge of the Farmers' Union work for
the Fourth District, writes The Farm
ers' Union Sun as follows:
Editor Farmers' Union Sun:
I had the pleasure of addressing a
large crowd of tho good citizens of An
derson county at Friendship last Satur
day. Some five or six hundred people
were present, and the ladies furnished
n bountiful spread, and good cheer was
the prevailing feature of the day.
lionea Path has a large and flourishing
union at that place and they are getting
ready to build a large warehouse at
Honea Path at an early date. . . .
Yours fraternally,
O. P. GOODWIN.

Crops Have Deteriorated.
Capt. ('has. Petty, of the Carolina
Spartan, says:
. "Information from farmers of good
judgment indicates that the cotton crop
has deteriorated since July 1st. The
general report is that the squares and
bolls are thinly set and not in propor
ti >n to the weed. In the dry section
there is some shedding. In riding to
Pauline last Friday and then back by a
different road part of the way we saw
about 11 miles of crops. Much of the
corn along the road traveled is very
poor. Some fair lots at a distance from
the road were observed. We saw only
one lot of cotton of any size that prom
ised 1,200 pounds to the acre. There is
much cotton along the road that will
not make more than 100 pounds to the
acre."
Poultry Calendar for August.
The duck laying season ends this
month.
The March hatched pullets should be
gin to lay.
All the old surplus stock should now
bo marketed.
Add linseed meal to the soft feed and
place some rusty iron in the drinking
vessels.
It is not yet too late to canonize. ?
Farm Journal.
Has a Pel float.
From The Farmers' Union Sun we
reprint the following letter:
"Dear Young Friends: I am so glad
the editor has given us boys and girls a
p.ige in his fine paper. Isn't that kind
of him? And what good times we must
htivc writing to each other. Now, I
must tell you of the grandest visit that
any boy ever did have, I know. It was
to my uncle's home, Mr. William
Brown, who lives in the country three
miles below town.
"Boys, he has just the finest goats
that you ever did see, and so many of
them, and all are just beauties, with
their long coats of white fur. They
are the fine Angora goats. Some came
from Montana, some from Virginia and
some from North Carolina. He paid
good prices for them and they are just
splendid, sure. There are 115 in his
drove. Then he has Wyandotte chkik
ens from Vanderbilt's Biltmore place,
and bronze turkeys. My two other un
cles who live near him, Mr. Thomas
Brown and Mr. John Brown, have fine
stock and poultry too. I have a pet
goat that Uncle William gave me and I
love it so much. Its name is Frank.
Now, if this letter don't fall in the
waste basket I will write again.
"Your little friends,

Watermelon Rind Preserves.
A writer in the Progressive Farmer
says:
Here is my recipe for making water
melon rind preserves. Cut all the red
from the inside and peel tho green from
the outside of tho rind with a sharp
knife. Then cut into small pieces and
boil in clear water until tender, then
take out and drain the water from them.
Next, weigh them. To every pound of
rind use one and one-half pounds of
sugar. Make a syrup of the sugar and
water and drop the rind into the boiling
syrup and into this slice lemons. Use
t wo lemons to a gallon of preserves.
Boil until the rind looks clear and the
syrup is thick. Place in jars while hot
and make sure to have sufficient syrup
to cover them and then seal.
Brother farmer, how many articles
do you buy every year that could be
produced on your farm? How much do
you pay for them? Count that much
as loss.
('<>w peas and red clover will do land
more good than almost any amount of
commercial fertilizer. Even the stub
ble and roots make good humus and
humus is the life of soil.
Very Large Apples.
Mr. D. S. Lynch, of the county,
brought to The Advertiser office Friday
two very large red apples of his own
cultivation. One of the apples meas
ured 13] inches in circumference and
the other 12 inches. Tho apples are
perfectly formed, well matured and
sweot.
I toes every farmer in Laurons county
keep an account of the cost of every
crop and the returns for it? This is the
only , not hod to learn which are money
crops and which are not.

Two Rights and a Wrong.
A Cnmdon shoo man sold a pair of
nhoes recently to a woman and after
she had left the store discovered that
ho had made the mistake of giving
the customer two rights instead of a
right and left, as Is customary. Rush
ing after the womnn, ho offered to
make tho wrong right, but was curtly
Informed that the customer was satis
fied, as she had a wooden leg on tho
left aide anyhow and needed only
rights. Now the dealer considers him
self filmllnnimed, because for the price
of one pair of shoes ho has really sup
plied the customer with two pairs.?

August time tolls on the nerves. But
that spiritless, no ambition feeling can
be easilyjand quickly altered by taking
what is Known by druggists every where
as Dr. Shoop's Restorative. Within <M
hours after beginning to use the Resto
rative improvement will be noticed.
Of course full health will not immedi
ately return. The gain, however, will
surely follow. And best of all, -you
will realize and feel your strength and
ambition as it is returning. Outside
influences depress first the "inside
nerves," then the Stomach, Heart and
Kidneys will usually fail. Strengthen
these failing nerves with Dr. Shoop's
Restorative and sec how quickly health
will be yours again. Sold by Palmetto
