"I am as spry and lively now as person fifty years old, and I'll soon b eeventy-flve years old. I have bee married fifty-one years, and I hav mighty few gray hairs in my hear too. But I was in a terrible condi tion of health a year ago with rhen matism. so bad that I couldn't walk though I can cook dinner and suppe now- and I feel fine. And all thi great change in my health Is due t the ^wonderful effects of Tanlac " These remarkable statements wor made on February 21st by Mrs. J. M Campbell, of 319 Merriman St Greenwood, In her endorsement o Tanlac. "The rheumatism was s painful that I had to sit with my fee in a chair. I had rheumatism fo twenty-five or thirty years, but it be came so much worse last winter am It was then that I got so I couldn' walk. It felt as if a thousand need les were sticking my left side fror my shoulder to my toes and I sul fered awfully. Until I got that way I had no idea any one could endur as much suffering. "I certainly was in a bad conditio when I began taking Tanlac. I ha tried other medicines, . but none o them did me the good I wanted which Tanlac did, though. I too eight or ten botles of Tanlac. I wa patient and thorough with it. meant to give it a fuir trial, and Tan lac won. for I was in fine shape whei I quit taking it. And I am so thank ful, for I do not have those awfo pains now. "Tanlac is worthy of the higher recommendation, and I am only gh ing it its due when I say it is th finest medicine I know of for th trouble I had. I hope this statemen will be of value to others who ma need Tanlac like I did." Tanlac, the master medicine, I sold exclusively by J. F.

C.?The Mexi ean cotton boll weevil made an uuu l" ] s*al advance across Georgia during | the-last two years, due probably tc r | the high winds. At the close of the 3 season last fall the Insect bad reached ?V. -? ? ? 0 <?? wTwiau river auu we H1UJ SB pact an Invasion of South Carolini e during 1917. Ordinarily it requirei ! about three years from the date of ltJ first appearance until the pest reachei ; its maximum numbers, which still ' leaves a good opportunity for South ? I Carolina to study and prepare for tb? t I altuation that is to confront It. It 1? r j a mistake to regard the matter lightly ! because it is absolutely certain thai 1 the weevil is coming and the climatic t conditions of South Carolina are such that probably greater efforts are re quired than in many localities in other 11 states to produce a cotton crop under " weevil conditions. To produce cotton ' after the weevil has become thorough e ly established requires the best farm' ing of oae kind or another, n The orep becoming an uncertainty <1 under weevil conditions must be made ,f earlier. We must begin the prepara I tion of our seed bed in the fall; we must study the best early varieties of ootton best adapted to the locality and The Cotton Boll Weevil. e i t learn how to keep it continually growy lng after it is once planted. Whether the weevil is present or p not no farm can find an excuse for not making a living for those who till it. y This is tho first duty and requirement of any farm. After the home supplies | have been produced cotton should rel celve serious consideration. Intelligent fertilisation Is of great importance but still greater Importance Is !> the malntalnance of the soil fertility mainly by legume crops, y Not only cotton stalks but all other n stalks which are a part of the crop refuse should be incorporated into the oil in the fall and as far as possible the land should be planted Into an of> fectlve cover crop to enable the land 11 to hold Its moisture, unused plant food and to prevent washing. There is no greater agency to produce a cotit ton crop than water. This has been >. demonstrated time and again in the 3 eotton belt since the beginning of the weevil fight twenty-three years ago. ' It is important to make a cotton crop and yet it Is more important to maintain the health of the community and this matter has not been given d sufficient thought as can be plainly s. seen by the number of files we allow .. the right of way every day. t.

Powdered borax sprinkled 1 oxer the manure at the rate of 2-3 1 pound to 8 bushels of manure and 2 1 or 3 gallons of water poured over the ' borax-treated manure to wash th. bo1 rax iuto the manure will kill the mag1 gots and keep the eggs from, hatch1 ' ing. The outer edges of the manure ' pile should be carefully sprinkled as ' this In where the maggots congregate : . for pupation. 1 | Caution nhould be used in treating ' : manures to be employed for agrlcul( tural purposes, because of the Injurious action on the plant growth of the excessive applications of the borax. This in the least expensive method where the manure is not Intended for agricultural purposes. ? HELLEBORE. Powdered white hellebore when made In a solution by mixing one-half pound of hellebore to ' 10 gallons of water and sprinkled over the manure gives good results in killing fly maggots. This solution can be made up in large quantities and kept until wanted for use. The best results have been obtained by allowing the solution to stand a few hours before applying. The composition of the manure will not be materially changed by using the hellebore. Animals will not be In danger when manure is treated in the stables as the , poison Is washed Into the manure. CALCIUM CYANAMID AND ACID PHOSPHATE. This mixture may be used at the rate of four pounds Calcium Cyanamld, four pounds Acid 1 Phosphate to every eight bushels of ' manure. The substances should be mixed and spread over the manure < after which It Is sprinkled with ten < gallons of water. The addition of , mono maienais to tno mtnuri In the proportions given greatly Increase the value of the manure for agricultural ' purposes by helding the amonla which 1 generally passes off as gas In the un- < , treated material. This form of nitro- i , geu Is more slowly available as plant ; , food than the ordinary nitrates. It { , should be applied to the crop nnt less , than seventy to eighty days before harvest in order that the nitrogen may be completely utilised by that crop. p NOTE. The Calcium Cyanamid which Is a medium for slow acting ' fertilizers is handled by manufacture i ers of mixed fertilizers. MAGGOT TRAPS.

Under present conditions the brood " 1 sow is probably the most profitable of I farm animals If managed judiciously.

The iterilization of milk utensils is of imiortance to the dairyman who wit hes o produce a good flavored milk vhich will not sour readily. This is ihown by the fact that milk cans, cashed in the ordinary way, may larbor billions of bacteria, and milk ontained in these cans is sure to lave a high bacterial count, which ends to affect not on'y its keeping utility but its flavor as well. Other xper'metits show conclusively that nilk which starts in sterilized utenils has a much better chance of eaching market in good condition 'tan milk which has been handled in tensils that simply have been washd in the ordinary way.
