All of the wood part of these Cradles is out out by hand, which prevents the Cradle warping and getting out of shape when exposed to dampness and the sun. F?uxtefen-Finger Josh Berry Cradles. . There are a great many makes and styles of these Cradles ou the market. Moat of them are manufac tured to suit the grain farmers o? the West, where the grain grows much taller and heavier than in this sec- , tum. Oar experience has taught us that these "half set" Cradles are not adapted to the needs of our farm ers. Our Fourtetn-Finger Cradles are set to suit the conditions of this section, and with them the lowest grain of the thinnest crops can be saved. Each Cra- * die is provided with a perfect patent fastening for the attachment of the Scythe or Blade. These Scythes ' are th? very best quality wesian buy.

The Farmer's Dilemma. Most all our days have been spent up to now in trying to excell in producing large cropp- but just so soon ns we have accomplished our aims and made a record breaker crop we get frighten ed at onr success and begin at once to riiBh our products upon the mrrkets at race horse speed until we have turned our fortune into a misfortune by act ing the fool in overloading the market with more producta at a time than the demand calls for. In this way our in judicious way of placing our cotton on the market causes oar large crops to bring in les? money than our small crops. Now, this thing is all wrong, and it can be righted if the cotton growers will only organize and put the selling of their cotton in the hands of their beat men to sell only at a reasonable f?rollt to the grower and in jnst such ota as the consumer demands, and never overload the market. This is practical only under the management of a good business organization, which is now gaining strength every day and will soon take control of this vast business proposition and manage it in a way that will turn the profits of our great staple into the bands of the pro ocer instead of enriching the nonpro dacer. Men that have stuck to a sys tem of selling that has made them poor, you know will stick to a system that will make them rich, if they only knew how to do it. Boys, tell them about it. Nitro-Culture. Growing nitrogen (ammonia) in the Boil instead of baying this costly fer tilizer at the rate of 15 ceu t a to 3.7 cents per pound is perhaps the greatest dis covery of the age if all is true that has been said about it. The discovery of the art of inoculating the seed with the germs of nitrogen producing bac teria by Dr. Moore is of more direct benefit to farmers than was Dr. Have ners discovery of obtaining phosphates from fossil rocks; for the reason that Bvery farmer may grow his nitrogen in his soil with the aid of hiB ordinary farm tools and implements without the necessity of erecting costly plants to manufacture. It is now about time to write and ?et a frco package of this nitro culture Erom the government for experimental purposes. This package will be sent you free of charge for experimental purposes. Address, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Plant In dustry, Washington, D. C. Be sure to state what kind of crop, whether cow peas, alfalfa or red clover you wish to inoculate. We see no reason for any one to mis represent* this new discovery, as there is no money in it for the employees of the government. ? Sow Things Look at Clemson College Ex periment Station June 1st.

S. meal, y lbs. muriate potash, Alabama variety, 500 lbs. Peruvian guano to acre. Wheat, wheie no fertilizer was ust>d, will pro duce- but little more than the seed. Peruvian guano paid best. Oat crop looks line where it was all top dressed with nitrate-of soda. Borne costly fertilizers put on wheat bave proved;to be of little value. All this small grain test should be published in full. - ?
