Agricultural ! Items of Interest to Every Thoughtful Farmer. From Southern Cultivator. 1. The cotton will be all open soon this year, a9 the frost came so early. If you can not gather it all as soon as you wou'd like, at least pick off a few acres and sow in grain. Wheat or oats sown in an open furrow will pay all handsomely who will take time to prepare the ; 1 1 II A . lauu won auu put suuic ^ oil it. Do not fail to sow both wheat and oats. If you do not "care to thresh the wheat it makes tlie very best of hay for stock. 2. Never lose fight of the value of deep plowing. All who give it a fair trial are handsomely repaid. While down in old Coweta County, Georgia, we were talking to Mr. Smith Carmicliael, who has an individual crop of seven acres, upon which he will gather over a bale per acre We were congratulating him upon his good crop, when he said : "There is nothing like going down deep into the soil. You people in Atlanta have to build up in the air for surface < and room, but we farmers must i go down deeper into the soil. We ( get more plant food, and hence better returns, the deeper we go." 3. While riding through a portion of Fayette County we were s.jown a moat striking exam 1 pie of the benefit of late plowing ] of cotton. A darkey by the name ' of Geo. Bloodse, who lives on a 1 place belonging to our uncle, j said : ''If you have time drive 1 down yonder to that piece of < cotton ; I want to show you 1 something." We went and soon < came to the place. There stood the plow stock just where he i stopped plowing. Where he plowed iu August was from 25 to 30 percent better than where he did not plow. George said: ''The people told me 1 would ruin my cotton plowing it 80 late, so I stopped just where you see dat plow, but I aint never gwine to listen to them i any more." 1 4. We went to see Mr. W. A. Iluddleston's fine cotton in Fay- ' ette county. He has five acres i planted in "Drake's Defiance Cotton." He planted it in five ( feet checks, used 40 loads stable manure, 50 bushels cottonseed, 1 on the whole, then put 700 pounds guano per acre broadcast and 40 1 pounds nitrate soda on side, later. 1 He has magnificent cotton,though ' badly damaged by storm and rains. We counted two stalks and one had 32 limbs and the ntliar !i 1 Thft Btalka onnronnil V-V- v ? * "V WKHiWO (? ? VI J about 6 feet high and the bottom 1 limbs are from 4 to 6 feet long. Mr. Iluddleston thinks he will get 10 bales and would have got- , ten much more but for damage. He counted the best stalk he saw ! and it had 370 mature bolls on it. ' We can not say how much the cotton would have made, but we ( can say we never saw more magnificent stalks than he had or a more even growth. 5. We are unable to say i which will produce the greatest * yield, cotton planted with lull t distance as Mr. Huddleston's i Department )r 18 inches in 4-feetrows. W :aw several extra fine pieces < :otton on this trip, and each owi ir would say: "I believe I wi nake as much cotton as Mr. Hut lleston. My stalks are not ne* to large as his, but I have g< wice as many upon the ground. 5o it goes. 6. While over in Clarke coui y, we went out to our old hom low owned by Mr. C. W. Greei Mr. Green is laying him out egular hog farm. He has som ine brood sows and is fencing i lis numerous lots so as to gro heir food, where they can gallic t for themselves. We like to st his kind of work done on oi arms. Our farmers should hai seen Mr. Green's vetch and criri son clover. There will be som hing green upon his farm to r resh the human eyes as well j ;o satisfy the taste of his hogs.fiis vetch came up from la fear's sowing, having reseedf tself, and we never saw a mo perfect stand. That farmer osing a great deal who does n earn to grow vetch. We C? lave the stock in the Sout when we learn to grow the mar varieties of food for them that v jan grow successfully. A.

The Knock-out Blow. | ( The blovr which knocked out Corhett ( was a revolution to the prize fighters. From the earliest days of the ring the , knock-out blow was aimed for the Jaw, , '0 the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach punches were thrown in to worry and weary the tighter, but if a scientific man 1 had told one of the old fighters that the 11" most vulnerable spot was the region of |] the stomach, he'd have laughed at him ^ for an ignoramus. Dr. Fierce is bringing * 1- home to the public a parallel fact; that d the stomach Is the most vulnerable organ m * out of the prize ring as well as in it. We protect our heads, throats, feet and lungs, 1 but the stomach we are utterly Indlflfer- 1 ent to, until disease finds the solar plexus f and knocks us out. Make your stomach ^ sound and strong by the use of Doctor C , Pierce's (iolden Medical Discovery, and ^ you protect yourself in your most vulnor- w 6, able spot.
