To tho Pr?ts. Owing to making a ohange in the printing establishment that bas boen setting up our Farmers' Union Bu reau oo lum ti for UH, our proofs Iu?'e not gone out to our papers in a satis factory way reoeutly. But under our new arrangements our column will go out to the press promptly on Tuesday mornings, released to the press Wednesday,, whioh we trust will be satisfactory to all parties. Whilst we are on this subject of ? presa WH tal*? this opportunity o thank all our papers that have been publishing our bureau column for us. / Our committee of eight prominent farmers, whose duty it is to look after the good of our organization, have done a wise thing in their efforts to eduoats our farmers on tho business side of their farming through the established press of the country in preferenoe to aooepting any one of the several selfish propo sitions made to the Union to patron ize only one paper as an organ for the union. From the beginning it has been our opinion that in order to protect ] the interest of our farming popula tion through an organized effort that it was not necessary to uproot, tear down or undermine any of our neces sary industries or legitimate busi ness, or subsidise any part of the press of the country or split off any ohoice pieoes of politios to aid us in upbuilding our farming interest, whioh all sane people, regardless of their occupation, will admit that the farming intercut is the basis of the1 prosperity of our whole country. While the farmers' movement is eduoating the farmer in his business, we note that the business fraternity is also learning that his prosperity depends upon the prosperity of the farmer, too. Putting in Fell Oats. Now is the time to begin to pre pare yourselves to battle against the cotton bears that are sure to come after you next fall. Begin now to put in a large orop | of winter oats. We never fail mak ing a good crop of winter oats whdn we can got them in the ground just right before the first of November. Plow the land deep, harrow smooth and drill the seed in open furrows. ? use a common cotton planter with a fertilizer attachment and put in from loO pounds to '200 pounds of 10-4 acid phosphate to the acre. It is a waste of money to use very solu ble ammoniated fertilizers on small grain sown in the fall. Wo use a shovel plow about six or eight inches wide on the planter foot to open the furrow and make the rows just close enough to not allow any loose dirt to roll back into the open trench just planted. Be care ful and don't allow any dirt to fill in the o; en trench, and run the rows nearly on a level, but should empty out gradually at each end. Never on any occasion sow seed What Do They Cure? Tho above question ls often asked con cerning Dr. Pierce's two loading medi cines, "Golden Medical Discovery" and "Favorite Prescription." Tho answer ls that "Golden Medical Discovery " ls a most, potent alterative or blood-purifier, and tonic or invlgorator and acts especially favorably in a cura tivo way upon all tho mucous lining sur faces, as of tho nasal passages, throat, bronchial tubos, stomach, bowels and bladder, curing a large per cont, of catar rbal casos whotbor the dlsoaso affects tho nasal passagos, tho throat, larynx, bron chia, stomach (as catarrhal dyspepsia), bowels (as mucous diarrhea), bladder, uterus or other polvlc organs. Even In tho chronic or ulooratlvo stages of these affections, lt ls often succossful in affect ing cures. Tho " Favorito Proscription " Is advised for tho euro of ono class of diseases-thoso peculiar weaknesses, derangements and irregularities incident to women only. It ls a powerful yet gently acting invigorat ing tonic and norviuo. For weak worn out, ovor-worked women-no matter what has caused the broak-down, "Favorite Proscription "will bo found most effective in building up the strength, regulating tho womanly functions, sulnlulng pain and bringing about a healthy, vigorous condition of tho whole system. A book of particulars wraps each bottlo giving tho formula)of both medicines and quoting what scores of eminent med ical authors, whoso works are consulted by physicians of all tho schools of practice ns guldos In proscribing, say of each in groulont entering Into thoso medicines. Tho words of praise bestowed on tho several ingredients entering Into Doctor Plorco's modi jlnos by such writers should have moro weight than any amount of non - professional testimonials, because such men aro writing for the guidance of their modical brothron and know whereof they speak. Both medicines aro non-alcoholic, non secret, and contain no harmful habit forming drug?, hoing composod of glycerlc ox tract of tl?e roots of nativo, Amorlcan medicinal forest plants.

We oaution all now beginners about securing first-class, pure, clean seed. Most any up-to-date farmer would tell you that seed oats or wheat planted with oheat, cookie or smutty stun would not only fill your lands with these foul seeds, but they reduce the yield to an extent that would make it profitable to pay five or more prioes for pure seed than to take foul seed at no cost. We are now preparing to mow down a orop of about two tons of pea vine to the acre on land that was abandoned three years baok by an improvident renter that failed to get more than five bushels of corn cr 150 pounds of seed cotton to the aore. Deep ploughing, cow peas and from 150 to 200 pouuds of apid phos phate to the aore on eaoh orop is all the secret there is in this. This simple application of a little common horse souse, a good deal of horse sweat in a co-operative way, with nature, has made thia land that waa barren bloom again with profit able orops that average over thirty bushels of oats and from one to two tons of pea hay to the aoro all in one year. This land next year would grow a good) profitable crop of corn without any fertilizer, or with the application ~i about 150 pounds of acid phosphate we believe it easy to grow 1,000 pounds of seed cotton to the acre. After a good crop of peas we don't need to add any more nitrogenous manure. Ordinarily we have plenty of this costly fertilizing ingredient stored in the soil by the cow pea orop. Raising Stock or Raising Little Negroes. On one side of the creek we can show you a largo farm that was once considered one of the finest farms ic the country, but for the laat 18 yean ii has been run in cotton and nig gers, until a large part of the onc( fertile soil is now in the lower plaoei and in the streams, until these smal streams are all filled with the wash inga from the lands above. Thes< once rich bottom landa on the filled up streams are worthless now foi crops. This whole farm now has i skinned, desolate and barren lool about it. Stock raising here, except ing little niggers, is at its lowest ebb Not far away from the above farn is a farm that is farmed like the mai who was after taking care of himsel and hie lands, too. On every side on the hills as well as on the low lands, he has fine crops of grain an< grass and pastures, roaming witl cows and calves, hogs and pigf mares and colts and poultry. Tb gaulded and naked places are nearl; all covered over with grasses. Th lowing of the cows and calves, th squealing of the pigs, the neighinj of romping colts and cackling of th hens, all ohime in one grand choru of farm music that makes the hear of the true farmer leap with joy am his oity cousin wanta to swap place with him. Compare these two farms' prc ducts. One is covered over almos with grass and live stock and th land and the man are growing rici . i The cotton plantation is growin poorer while this man is raising littl niggers. Take your choice. As for ou part we can manage the stock bette than we can the little niggere, wh generally go away to town or otht places just as soon as they get bi enough. Cured Hay Fover and Summer Cold. A. J.
