SAYS THIS BEAUTIFUL YOUNG QIRU
MISS MARJORY HAMPTON, OF NEW YORK.
Miss Marjory Hampton, 2618 Third Avenue, New York City, writes :
"Peruna Is a fine medicine to take any season of the year.
Taken In the spring It tones up the system and acts as a tonic,
strengthening me more than a vacation. In the fall and winter
I have found that It cures colds and catarrh and also find that It
Is Invaluable to keep the bowels regular, acting as a gentle stimu

PURE BLOOD.
Blood Impurities of Springtime
Cause, Prevention
and Cure.
Dr. Ilartnian's medical lectures are
eagerly scanned by many thousand
readers.
One of the most timely aud interesting
lectures he ever delivered was liisrecent
lecture on the blood impurities of sprin ff.
The doctor said iu substance that every
spring the blood is loaded with the
effete accumulations of winter, derang
ing the digestion, producing sluggish
ness of the liver, overtaxing the kid
neys, Interfering with the action of the
bowels and the proper circulationof the
blood.
This condition of things produces
what is popularly known as spring
fever, spring mahiria, nervous exhaus
tion, that tired feeling, blood thicken
ing and many other names.
Sometimes thn victim is bilious, dys
peptic and constipated ; sometimes he is
weak, nervous and depressed; and again
he may iiave eruptions, swellings ana
other blood humors. Whichever it is.
the cause is the same effete accumula
tions in the blood.
Nothing m more certain within the
whole rangcof medical science than that
acourseof Peruna in early springtime
will perfectly and effectually prevent
or cure this almost universal anecuon.
Everybody feels it in some degree.
A great majority are disturbed con
siderably, while a large percent, of the
human family are made very miserable
by this condition everv spring.
Peruna will prevent It if taken In
time.
Peruna will cure it i f taken asdirected
Peruna is the ideal spring medicine of
the medical profession
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you Ins valuable ad'

Response to an Alabama Farmer's
Iie,lry With Reference tj Hla
Wornout Laaa.
A farmer from Uniontown, Ala.,
writes: "We have some worn-out land.
Please tell us how to reclaim it?"
This is by no means an Isolated
case. All over the south there are thou
sands of acres of "worn-out" land.
Land that has been so misused and
abused that it can no longer produce
crops that pay for the cost and trouble
of cultivation Is called worn-out land.
What shall we do with these lands?
This is an interesting and important
question. Can they be made to pro
duce paying crops again? If so bow
shall we proceed to make them do so?
It will help us in answering this
Inquiry to examine into the history of
these lands and see if we can find
what has made them poor. Uany of
them were originally the finest and
richest farms in the south. Many
things have contributed to bring them
to their present almost worthless con
dition. Among these we find three
prominent causes.
Chief among them is washing and
leaching. The water has been per
mitted to run down more or less steep
grades and carry the finest particles of
the soil with it.
Soils generally contain all the ele
ments or ingredients of fertility. These
are found in an Insoluble condition
In this state they can not help the
crops grow. To make them soluble and
available for plant growth we must
fertilize the so... The fine particles
of soil dissolve in the water and the
plant food is thus fed by the water
to the growing plants. Hence these
fine particles make the soil rich or
productive. If we take these away the
soil is left, with its plant food insolu
ble. Such a soil we call poor.
Washing soon makes any soil poor.
Often this washing produces gullies
and takes off the fine soil and leaves
the hard clay soil exposed. Very often
it does not do this, but only takes the
fine dust particles oiyt and leaves the
coarser particles. This we call leach
ing. Both of these results generally
go along together.
Another source of damage to the soil
results from stirring the land when it
is wet. As soon as the sunshine and
wind dry off such land, there are thou
sands, yea millions of little brickbats
produced. These are absolutely worth
lers to the growing crop.
By constntly plowing wjien the clay
or subsoil is wet, we make a layer
of very compact earth just below where
we plow. This we call harrlpan. This
layer prevents circulation of water,
increases the washing and interferes
with the growth of the roots of the
crop. Shallow plowing helps the wash
ing and the formation of this hard
pan. Another great source of damage to
the land is the habit or custom of
burning off the grass, trash and other
vegetable matter. All of these are
needed to make htimus in the soil,
which they do if permitted to rot. No
vegetable matter should ever be burned
on a farm. Without humus It is im
possible to make large crops. We
thus see that by a misuse of fire and
water we make the lands poor. These
are intended to be our greatest farm
blessings. We make them our greatest
curses.
Now. having briefly shown how these
lands were made worn-out lands, we
are prepared to see how we can re
claim them.
First of all, stop the washing and
leaching. This can be done by plow
ing deep and on a level.
Repeated experiments have shown
that land plowed fifteen to eighteen
Inches deep will hold all ordinary
rains. Below that depth the earth is
always sufficiently porous.
First, then, break your land so as to
destroy this hardpan and hold the rain
water. Many have advised that this
be done gradually, a few inches each
year. This is not the best. Do it at
once and no it tnorougniy. u win
generally be fon,nd impossible to do
this with one plow. In such rases use
a subsoil plow to follow the first. The
first nlow should be a turn plow, If
there is any vegetable matter to turn
under. If the land is clean, then It
does not make any material difference
what kind of a plow you use. It is not
the plow, but the plowing that is im
portant.
Stirring wet land does more harm
than good. Be sure the soil is dry
Make dust is the meaning of pulverize.
Making mortar has been one of the
great curses of southern farming.
Make dust.
Most of us have been taught that as
this wornout land is generally hard,
we must break it when wet. But this
is a great error. This plowing should
be done in the summer or fall.
We want a deep, firs soil, and we
need humus. So we can do all these
along together. When you have broken
this old, wornout land as deep-as you
can. then harrow it as fine as you can
make it. and begin at once to grow
some kind of crop on It. Generally a
convenient plan will be to sow oats or
wheat in September or October. As
soon as you cut tnese, ior nay or
grain, then sow In peas, with sorghum.
Cut this crop for hay. and sow oats
again. Continue this rotation a few
years and mix all the 3tubble in the
soil, and the land will become rich.
This plan does not cost anything.
The hay crops and grain crops more
than pay the expenses. This is not
the only way. You can plant any crop
you please from the first. When you
get the soli deep and fine it will pro
duce any crop. The chief feature of
the above plan Is that it helps to fur
nish humus cheaply and quickly.
Stable manures will greatly belp

elal aid would be extended them. . The
result waa spirits of turpentine went
up to 85 cents the next. spring. It has
been going up ever since, and the naval
operators have grown rich.
This ought to be an object lesson for
the fanners right at this time. It
teaches that over-production will ruin
any business In the world. It applies
as much or more to cotton than any
thing else. The farmers have had les
slons along this line in the years that
have gone by.
Many of them were bankrupted, and
all suffered great pecuniary depres
sion. They are just now recovering
from the effects of their own folly. If
the reports which reach ui, from all sec
tions be true, they are preparing to re
peat history. As Sam Jones would put
It, they are preparing to "act the fool,;
again. Fifteen cents cotton Is causing
them to lose their heads.
The farmer who plants a large cot
ton crop and a small grain crop, and a
small grain crop always means a small
meat crop, Is going to "hit the grit,"
and hit it hard. There is but one safe
rule, raise an abundance of hog and
hominy and a moderate cotton crop.
Keep the cotton crop inside of 10,
000,000 bales, not over 10,600,000 bales
at the outside. Do this, and they will
live at home and obtain fancy prices
for their cotton next fall.
Every Individual farmer has a part
to play, namely, plant all the corn that
he can fertilize and cultivate well.
Save all the hay that grows on his
farm. Make potatoes and everything
else that will feed man or beast, and
be sure to keep his cotton crop within
the proper bounds. A blind man ought
to see it. Cor. Southern Cultivator.
Horses In Demand.
The outlook for the horse Industry
was never before more promising.
With the progress of national develop
ment has materially Increased de
mand for horses. So pronounced has
been the enlarged use of horses for
the past five years that domestic con
sumption has nearly exhausted the sup
ply. The surplus Is so light that
prices have remained nominally sta
tionary, while other classes of live
stock have declined in value material
ly. All the modern Industrial develop
ments of civilized nations were made
possible by the use of horses, and the
future demand promises to be of in
creased proportions. Horses for gen
eral utility use are indispensable, and
as nations advance in wealth and af
fluence the demand for horses is inten
sified. There are no substitutes to
eliminate the noble equine lit his
sphere of usefulness in the progress of
mankind. The equine fashion of the
twentieth century will be repeated in
the succeeding cycle and the future of
the industry is brilliant with encour
aging promise. The breeder who raises
good horses of any commercial class
is assured of a stable and remunera
tive market for his surplus and has ev
ery encouragement to lntelliegntly ex
ploit the industry. Drover's Journal.

The time for planting Is now here.
But it is not too late to do a little
planning.
We suppose many have begun plant
ing corn. All the lower belt has fin
ished sowing oats. Corn planting will
be the order of the day lor the next
few days and weeks.
The present high prices of cotton
make every farmer wish to grow a
large cotton crop. This is human na
ture. But we must not forget the teach
ings of experience. The safe and pru
dent plan for the southern farmer is to
be sure to raise his supplies at home.
That means plant plenty of corn, hay
crops, potatoes and vegetables. It
means have plenty of pigs and calves,
chickens and milch cows. What will it
help to raise cotton if we must pay out
the money for something to live upon
and to feed our stock?
We u,rge every farmer to increase
the average in corn and food crops of
all kinds. Then if you cotton turns
out well and the price retrains up you
will have some surplus money.
Provisions of all kinds are now bring

measure to our farmers adopting a sui

pvciiision of all other croDS). Now, of

part and keep a cool head, and use his

wheat, oats, peanuts, evnrything that
man and beast eats, raise hogs, live at

wisely ana do this the crop of cotton

Mr. C. N. Herron to try your Kidney

all other treatment. I tliuak Smiths;
Sure Kidney Cure the best of all. II

it. It relieved me of indigestion or
stomach trouble. I am thankful.
Yours very truly,
