2 Agricultural j1 ^ Department Making a Beautiful Yard. The Progressive Farmer. Before making out an order lor trees or shrubs, or flowers, you should determine where I hey are to be planted?what purpose the> are to accomplish in the beautilying of your home grounds. Don't t:et into the common error ot ordering something because the description pleases you, or because some one h::s told you it is a good thing to h&vo. It will not iipiU'o fo ho n trnnii t.liini' iin Ies9 you have the proper setting for it. Those who are beginning at the beginning, who have merely a bare piece of ground with a house on it to start with, should make a definite plan and draw it on paper, indicating the leading features thereon. Avoid as you would the plague the too common practice of scattering trees and shrubs promiscuously i about the place. That may be a good way to plant a nursery, hut it is not a good way to adorn i a home. The working out ot your plan should result in a picture, in whioVi t.iia hnneo khniilH ho t.ho central idea, with a broad ex panse of greensward for a foreground. anda frame of trees,shrubs and flowers at the sides. The observer of such a planting, or landscape, would exclaim: " >? hat a beautiful home!" But on the nursery style, his only comment would probably be ''What a tine lilac bush !" if there happened to be a fire lilac bush near lrm HOW TO CIIOOSK YOUR TRKKS ANT) PLANTS. You ask what, kinds of trees and fruits and dowers you should plant in order to make your home picture? That is a second ary matter, to be decided bv your personal preference. The arrangement ot wliHt you plaut is far more important than the kind. So, in making your selections, remember these fundamental principles : Keep the center of your place open; set your shade trees at the corners and at 9Uitaable intervals along the sides; in selecting trees choosekinds whose size and habit of growth are most suitable tor your premises, remembering that those of rela tively low growth are better adapted for small places, and that trees that will do well toi lining Greets maybe out of place . in yards and lawns.

Chester special in the News and Courier: Col. T. J. Cunningham, v.ho ha^ charge of the farm demonstration work in Chester County that is being carried on under the general hu pervision of Dr. S. A. Knapp, it. busy collecting the re-ults from lands that were planted and cultivated according to the recommendations and directions sent out. This work involves considerable detail and will not be ( completed for s< me time yet, but enough data have been col'ected to -how that the results are highly gratifying. It. in likely Miat farmers who have cultivated land this year, according to this sys tern will do i-o again next year, enlarging their acreage considerably, while others who have not tried the tystem this year can not fail to be attracted by the liue results. Mr. II L. Haves, who cultivated one acre in cotton under the directions of Dr. Knapp and his a-sbtants, reports that ho has gathered 1,300 pounds of seed cotton from this acre, wliile similar land lying adjacent, which was cultivated according to the regular methods in vogue hereabouts, has yielded only 800 pound. Mr. J. G. Lee, of Lowryville, planted and cultivated one acre of corn under Dr. Knapp's directions. He reports a yield of 27 bushels and 3 pounds, while similar land cultivated in the regular wav yields only 8 or 10 bushels to the acre Mr. Walter Simpron reports 40 bushels of corn from one acre, while land identically like this -elected acre vields onh' 0 or 10 bushels when cultivated according to I he old method. These instances might he multiplied, for in every case it is believed that handsome results will be secured. Suffice it to say, however, that the ratio of increase in every case so far report ed is about as given in the ex ample* furnished as above The general est of preparation is not increased, while the yield is doubled ;m'i in some in*'?nrv <a trfblei Winter blasts, causing pneumonia, pleurisy anil consumption will soon he here ihne your cough now. ami strengthen your lungs with Foley'R Money and Tar.

Else you can't gain strength, nor can you strengthen your stomach if it is weak. You must cat in order to live and maintain strength. You must not diet, because the body requires that you eat a sufficient amount of food regularly. But this food must be digested, and it must be digested thoroughly. ff I1U1I UIIU Oiviuavil VMI U uw you must take something that will help the stomach. The proper way to do is to eat what you want, and let Kodol digest the food. Nothing else can do this.
