We Ihaye not yet learned what a few acres ' can be made to produce, and our small farmers must be encour aged along three lines?1, to en rich their land; 2, to grow aj* greater variety of crops and 3, to \ read and [enlarge their mental | ' scope. Ignorance, narrowness and poverty of [land and person ' go hand in hand. However poor a farmer may be * and limited his acres, wo want to see him working on the right lines ?making a few acres richer each v#?sir. torrjirini* tliia fiAlfl atr?r?n_ J?? * \ ~ j ing a wash here, draining this i piece of wot land, putting out a , few fruit' trees, starting a berry patch, putting in iaore grain or grass, buying some better tools, getting a bettor strain of cows, hogs or chickens, painting his house, doing something to plant his leet firmly upon higher ground this year than they were the last. On account of our having plenty of land and the ea?e wit]) which a homestead is obtained in our country, our farmers do not appreciate iheir heritage, nor do they dream of the possibilities within each acre of Southern soil. We must learn more and get to practicing better methods upon our farms. We must begin the intensive sys em as oui methods and the extensive as to the variety we produce. To make our farms sell-sustaining. and than have a variety of surplus to sell is the true plan. The demands of our market are numerous let's supply them and keep the money at home. A lot of things will bring money besides cotton?corn, oats, hay butter, meat, chickens, eggs, honey, apples, peaches, straw- ( berries, raspberries, blackberries 1 cabbage, turnips, melons, cante- t loupes, potatoes, and many more. , The question is how many can 1 you grow? While a farmer is struggling to solve h se pr<blems upon his farm, lis should also be working lor the educa- < tional and moral uplift of his community. We do not hold ou' to inese small farmers any | probability of becoming wealthy 0.* of being able to seize the a<i vantages that city and trade holds out to their successful de | votees, 1 ut v\o say as Christ said of Mary?you have chosen I ho 1 'better part" and have all within your reach, all that goes to make k,life worth living," and it is your boundon dulv to make your soil yield her lull increase? to make yourselves a blessing to your lamily, to your community, and to all "with whom you have I? to dea1 and to do." In making I larger yield and improving your farm-*, you not only get a great er annual income, but your lai d increases in value, and you thereby add to your capital or wealth. As anexaraplool what THE LANOA Department. i small ('arm can be made to held, we give yon the experience >f Dr. Green, of Point Peter, in )glethorpe County, Georgia. He told his farm this fall for over ilty dollars per acre, and is go uk to buy him a larger one. On x fifty acre crop this year he produced the following : 18 acres cotton made him 16 sales. . 14 acres corn made him 400 auehels, weighed. 5 acres wheat made him G5 bushels. 13 acres oats made him 347 1-2 bushels, threshed. Besides his peayine hay off lis oat and wheat land. A man can live and rear his 'atnily by this kind of farming iVe trust more will be stimulated o follow his example.?The Southern Cultivator.

Some of these numerous and strongest of professional endorsements of its ingredients, will be found in a pamphlet wrapped around the bottle, also In a booklet mailed free on request, by Dr. R. V.
