Southern farmers cannot be aroused too fully to tho importance of planting a considerable area of their farming lands in wheat during the next sixty days, particularly in all those sections whore our lands aro favorable to its growth and profita--| bio development. The price of provisions and all kypds of commodities used on the farm aro continually advancing in prioe. Provision bills within tho past twelve months have almost been prohibitory to tho farmor who has been heretofore dopending upon his cotton crop to pay for supplies and all other costs for tho operating expenses of his farm. Tho prices for which we are forced to sell our cotton is not on a parity with thc high prices which wo have to pay for tho things that have been bought. Tho margin of difference has been I too heavy in favor of the seller of such commodities as wo have been in tho habit of buying, reducing tho margin of profit on our money crop to about thc cost of production. Wo could better afford to run the all cotton system on a basis of 6 cents for that staple two years ago at the prices then prevailing for supplies, than to buy provisions at tho pres ent prices and sell our cotton for 8 cents. Tho crop of cotton this year has been short in most sections of the cotton belt, taking into con sideration especially the shortness of the staple. Ordinarily farmers are quite busy with their cottOD during the time that should be taken up in preparing their lands for wheat. This trouble, however, will not be on us this fall, and nothing short of indifference will stand in the way of ing ablo to plant a goodly area of and on every farm in this valuable grain crop. Tho first question of prime importance to decide, is whether or not the crop can be made a profitable one by giving it that attention which is necessary to secure the best results. The question of an extensive area is not impor tant. A few acres properly prepared and highly fertilized will turn out a heavier yield than double the num ber of acres on poorly prepared land with little or no fertilizers. The general unfamiliarity of our .people with this crop renders it necessary to discuss in detail many of the im portant features essential in making an effort to secure the best results. Thin I shall endeavor to cover ns fully ns possible in this article. There are" many successful wheat growers in the South annually turn ing out as heavy yields por acre as is made on the best lands in the great wheat regions of the west. The possibilities of our southern soils to meet competition from any section has been fully established not only by experiments, but by hundreds of practical farmers in yearly yields of tho different crops planted. No man should ever become discouraged in making an . artiest, active effort to provide the food crops necessary for sustaining all the requirements of his family and farm animals. It is tho key note to successful farming in the south where conditions not only render diversified farming possible, Cured At 70 of Heart Dis ease Contracted During Civil War Veteran Grateful. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure Effected Cure. Heart disease is curable, but in people of advanced age it does not readily lend itself to ordinary treatment. There is, however, hope for all sufferers in Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, which we know from watching hun dredt of cases and from the letters of grateful sufferers, will cure where all else has failed. It is nut only a wonderful cure for weak and diseased hearts, but it is a blood tonic, a reg ulator of the heart's action and the most effective treatment ever formulated for im proving the circulation of the blood. "During the Civil war I contracted heart disease, and in 1896, while living in the grand old town of Lexington, Va., I grew so much worse, I left there with my wife to visit my sister in-law, Mrs. T. A. Kirby, at Roanoke, Va. While I said nothing to anyone I never expected to live to return to the dear old town. On reaching Mrs. Kirby's she insisted I should try Dr. Miles'1 leart Cure. I pro cured a few bottles of it, al.-o the Nervine and Tonic. After using one or two bottles, I could see no improvement, and I despaired of ever being better, but my faithful wife in sisted on keeping it up, which I did. Im provement soon began in earnest and I took in all fifteen or sixteen bottles. I was re stored to perfect health and while I am 70 years old. I am comparatively a boy. You sir, are a benefactor, and I 'cheerfully recom mend Dr. Miles' Heart Cure to suffering humanity."-J. L. SLAUGHTER, Salem, Va. All druggists sell and guarantee first bottle Dr. Miles Remedies.

Hardly a disons or joints that cannot bo ci Mexican *?j Mustang Liniment u but makes that system of farming imperative. A full appreciation of our magnificent resouroas, and a de termination to take advantage of them, will within a few years make every such farmer independent and secure for him a business which is not only pleasant, but highly lucra tive. Tho character of tho soils best suited for tho growth and develop ment of wheat is good clay loam, furnished with a goodly supply of humus and nitrogenous matter, phosphoric acid and potash. The Tho elements of phosphoric acid and potash should predominate, particularly thc former. Light sandy soils will not yield satisfactory results, and such lands would pay better planted in something else. There are but few sections of farm ing lands in the south, however, which with proper lillago and fer tility will not yield a fairly good crop of wheat. Whenever a strong, vigorous stalk is secured with but little or no development of grains, the trouble is not so much with tho land as it is with tho absence of proper fertilizing ingredients. Such a condition of affairs under other wise favorable climatic conditions in dicates a deficiency of both elements of phosphoric acid and potash in sufficient quantities to develop the food constituents of the grain. It would then be incumbent upon the grower to provide these absent con stituents either by heavy applica tions of barnyard mauure, ashes and lime, or by the purchase and use of such commercial fertilizers as will furnish the required needs of the Boils in proper proportions. There is no one thing more essential in preparing for a wheat crop than tho thorough preparation of the hud by deep plowing and harrowing down to a fine tilth. The more fully the land is pulver ized the better will bo the yield, no matter how fertile tho soil or how heavy the application of fertilizers may bo. This is a matter which should be borno in mind, because it is highly important. Experiments! have proven conclusively that land prepared like an ashbank furnished heavies yields of wheat than similar plats of ground adjoining gave with out such preparation, though a much higher percentage of fertilizers were applied to the latter. A corn and pea field, with the stubble whipped under with a good turner or disc, and then harrowed over two or three times presents an ideal field for sow ing down in wheat. Barnyard manure or cotton seed can then be broadcasted and a disc harrow run over tho field, or if the seed is put in with a drilling machine and com mercial fertilizers used the whole can bo done at one time. Whoat ordinarily should bo covered to a depth of throe inohes, not deeper on hoavy clay soils. With good, clean seed wheat, sow from ono bushol to one and one-fourth bushels per acre. If sown by hand, endeavor to so scatter the grains that by spreading tho full width of ono hand on the ground fivo grains will be covered. If with a drill the machine can be regulated to do the work automati cally. After tho field is Bown, by whaiover method employed, it is best to run a heavy rollor over tho ground to smooth down all clods and other obstructions which will inter- i fero willi proper harvesting. All small seed germinate better and grow off more vigorously when the soil under which they are planted is rolled to a finn and (J ?inpact textu e.

This formula can bo secured from any of the fertilizer companies mak ing a first-class wheat fertilizer. Apply at from 300 to 500 pounds per acre. It is not necessary to secure a largo stalk ; the point is to have a full head containing well developed grains. A yield of 20 bushels per acre should bo secured ordinarily under proper tillago and fertility. Before planting the grain always subject it to a thorough treat ment of blue-stone. One pound of bluestone is sufficient to treat five bushels of grain. Dissolve the blue stone in boiling hot water, then pour into barrels or tubs half filled with water sufficient to hold five bushels of the wheat. This can be left to stand over night and planted next day, or immersing a few hours in the solution will be sufficient. All that is necessary is to let the grains come in contact with the solution, and the smut germ will be killed. Tho smut germ is a parasitic plant, which ad heres to the grains, and if not killed before planting it I1? ^ermiuato with the seed and gio\, along with the stalk, finally feeding on the head of wheat, when the mischief is done. This is a quick, simple method of preventing smut, which is moro dis astrous to the wheat crop than any thing else if left aloi.n to do its work. No wheat is immune from smut that has not been treated. Wheat free from smut may be threshed on a machine covered with smut pores and the grain infected for the next year.

Wheat will mature a crop every year, and if not wanted for bread, it is equally as good, if not better, for stock than oats. If planted for stock, it should be cut and made into hay when tho beads aro in tho early dough stage. All work animals will keep in splendid condition fed on wheat hay, and the fear of saving an oat crop need not longer worry us when weean accom plish the same end with wheat. In many secti^np wheat is grown for stock alone, and cither fed upon the farm or baled and shipped to mar ket, where it always commands a high price. Baled wheat hay will net more dollars per acre to the grower than tho threshed wheat. The cost of handling is less and the price obtained is greater.

Pittsburg, October 10.-While laboring under mental aberration, the result ol atra?a of perfecting an appliance for air brake which is pendiug in ..Washington, D. C., Charlos ('awlev. a 17-year-old boy of Homestead, l'a., early to-day killed his mother and ono sister and fatally in jured four othor obildren. Ile tried also to kill his two older brothers, but was detected, overpowered and turned over to tho police. The weapon used wa? an axe, with which he orusbed and hacked his viotims beyond recognition. The Cawleys lived lu a new, 6-room house on Sixth avenue in Homestead, and last night all the members retiree! about lo o'clock. Mrs. Cawley and Belle ocoupied one bed, whilo the others, Josephine, Adeline, Raymond and Agues, occupied othor beds and cribs in the same room, whioh is second door in tho rear. Charles, the murderer, his brothor Jame?, aged 20, and Harry, aged 14, ocoupied the front roora, Bocona iloor, adjoining the room of their mother. Some timo about 3 o'oloek this morn ing Charles quietly arose and dressed himself, all but putting on his shoes, crept down to the collar and scoured an axe. Coming upstairs he went into his mother's room whore tho viotims were all Bleeping. After turning up tho light the maniao approached his mother's bedside, swung tho axe high in the air and brought it down with suoh foroe that the skull was crushed. Tho mother evidently novqr know what Btruok her, but tho crazed SOD, thinking that his first blow did not do its work, poundod tho dead mother's hoad almost to a jelly. Belle, the eldest daughter, slept through tho ordeal. The third swing of the axe OD her mother's head did not arouse her. Charlos hurried to her sido of tho bod aud struck hor with tho axe. It is thought that tho first blow slipped and awoko tho girl, but only for a sec ond. She did not have timo to scream for the next blow killed hor. The tieml then turned to tho smaller children and struck oaoh ono ovor the head with the bloody weapou. . Believing that ho had dispatched thora all, he started for his brothers' roora, but James, tho oldest, had boon awakened by tho groans in his mother's room and as Charles entered ho sei/.ed a heavy rocking chair and after a floreo struggle overpowered him and turned him over to tho police. On tho way to tho station house he fought ferociously, but nftor being placod in a cell bo calmed down and ala not scorn to realizo what ho had dono. Whon physicians reached tho house Mrs. Cawley and Bollo wero doad. Tho othors aro still living, but tho dootors announced that thoy could not livo through tho day. Trick on Mrs. Nation. Now Haven, Conn., Ootober ll.-Yale mon played a trick on Mrs. Carrie Nation when she was boro last. week. Sho agreed to sit for hor picturo, holding a water pitcher in her hand as an omblom of her belief. Sho found the piteher too heavy and substituted for it a glass of water. Tho studontH, standing just out of range of her vision, told ber to bo suro to keep her oyes fastened on the lons of tho camera. As she strained hor eyes in that direction the students surrepti tiously produced pipos, cigarettes and a whiskey bottle. Tho resulting photo graph is a curious ono. In tho centor of tho group stands Mrs. Nation, holding in hor right baud a glass, which, owing to tho mysteries of tho dark roora, is capped with a crown of foam. Around hor aro the students, uno drinking, from a whiskey bottle, another lighting a pipe, othors smoking cigarettes, and two apparently in tho last stages of intoxica tion.

Mr. Tobin was directing tho operation and was standing directly over tho bolo with tho cartridges in his hand. Oglosby was ramming them down with n wooden crowbar, but tho wooden instrument did not give satisfaction, and ho laid it aside and bogan using an iron drill to force tho Cartridges down, lt is supposed tho iron drill struck against tho stone and caused a spark, which ignited the dynamite and caused tho explosion, which was fright ful.

There has been some dissatis faction with the management of the school, and this has led to a great deal of bad feeling in the community. Three members of tho board of trus tees met at the school house during school hours to talk the trouble over with the teaoher. Hot words were PX ohangod) and suddenly Toewes drew his revolver sad shot down the three trus tees. He then rushed into the school house, where he shot Kohler's two daughters, aged 8 and 10 years, through tho oody. They will die.
